I will not press it here for the time being, and then I will talk about what Fan Ermao is doing with the widow to learn how to recognize Yi, draw and distinguish images, and look for Kan Dunjia. Time flies, spring escapes and summer is gone; Seeing the wheat blooming, the temperature in early summer is getting warmer. After breakfast that day, the widow called Ermao and said, "It's hot and irritable in April, so it's better to go out and walk around." ”

"Where does the aunt want to go?"

"A few days ago, a person who came to ask for a hexagram said that the Yuzhen Palace on Laojun Mountain in the southwest was opened, and there was an endless stream of pilgrims. The second is to go out for a walk and watch the scenery. I heard that the mountain is high and the road is dangerous, the clouds are misty, the valley is deep and secluded, the stream is murmuring, the Taoist palace in the mountain is majestic, like a fairyland, it is a Taoist blessed land. I heard that there are real people in the palace, and if we can meet each other after we go, we can also learn a thing or two. ”

"Middle, auntie, you said you would go, and leave now?"

"Let's go now, let's go." The widow said as she walked out the door.

"Auntie, what else do you want to bring?"

"You don't have to bring anything, you can go out with everything, why do you bring things, it's not to find guilt for yourself."

"Well, then I'll lock the door." Fan Ermao followed behind and locked the door of the hall, walked a few steps to catch up with the aunt, went out of the gate, hung up the hexagram exemption card, watched the aunt go out of the gate, and then stepped forward to lock the door, and the two of them came all the way to the front village.

There is no asphalt road for the widow to live in this village, and she must walk more than two miles of dirt road, walk to the asphalt road leading to the county seat and wait for the bus, and then go to the county seat, and then transfer to Laojun Mountain through the county seat.

To make a long story short, Laojun Mountain is already in front of him. At the foot of the mountain, the car stopped abruptly, and Fan Ermao and his wife got out of the car with everyone and came to a mountain slope. I heard the driver say: "The front is Laojun Mountain, the car can not go up the mountain, here is the foothold, everyone rests here, and then they go down the mountain road eighteen turns, you can go to the Laojun Temple on the Nantianmen." With that, he drove away.

Everyone stood on the slope, and saw that there were several vendors selling snacks walking back and forth on the slope, and there was a small hall on the hillside going forward, the small hall was in tatters, and the wall was cracked, the wind was about to fall, the tiles and eaves were broken, and the rain was about to fall, so it was a desolate image. However, in stark contrast to this ruined and ruined hall, the hall was full of pilgrims and enthusiasm. And he saw that the temple was full of men, women, and children, and all kinds of people. Ermao looked at it and thought: This is a thousand-year-old temple, although it is ruined, it is full of people.

The heart is like a Confucian painting for self-prison, the heart is like a Buddha and the hollow is far away, and the heart is like a Taoist fairy grass, where to find it? It is said that the hearts of the people in this world have been locked for the education of the Three Realms since ancient times, and the upper Confucianism has been locked, and the way of monarchy and ministers, loyalty, benevolence and filial piety; The middle realm is locked by Taoism, and it is said that the magic of the fairy world, the strange door escapes, the heart wants to follow the immortals, reincarnated into a spirit, fly freely, there are emperors who take turns to sit, and tomorrow will enter the heart of my door. The lower realm is illuminated by the light of the Buddha, and the heart is empty, as if it is in my heart, there is no dispute with the world, and I am obedient to it, and I am based on the heart of compassion. The Three Realms are strong, how can you escape. Therefore, a certain "great teaching" in the world today said: The free realm of life is not that human life is above all things, but that our hearts are connected with all things in the world. …… A happy life in the material sense is only an indicator, but the real inner sense of stability and recognition of the government comes from faith. Therefore, the way of being a human being obeys the orders of the three realms is differentiated, the self-consciousness in the depths of the soul is disintegrated, the three worlds of heaven, earth and man are set by the norms, and the congregation is like a stream, and the people are also obedient.

Besides, Fan Ermao and the widow and aunt climbed the path to Laojun Mountain with the incense crowd, and along the way, they saw that the path was tortuous, stretching up, and the widow and aunt were already panting for breath and feeling a little struggling, so they said: "Ermao, let's find a place to sit and rest for a while before leaving." ”

"Middle, auntie, let's rest for a while." Ermao said that he walked forward quickly to find a slope by the side of the road, there were a few big stones on the ground, Ermao stepped forward to wipe the soil on the stones, turned back and helped his aunt to come and sit down.

After the two sat down, the widow looked at Ermao and said, "Ermao, do you know why I brought you here today to make incense?" ”

"Auntie, I don't know, you say."

"Alas, it is said that this Laojun Mountain is old all over the country, this is because Lao Tzu's name is big, the ancestor of Taoism, using the name of Lao Tzu, you can enhance the name of the mountain. Taoism pays attention to mountain practice, bisexual initiate, in order to raise a thousand years, so people have the desire for immortality, looking for a beautiful place to build a palace and build a palace, trying to seek the law of immortality, the way of eternal thought, Taoism from the immortal, "immortal" word "person" next to the word "mountain", but also people want to become immortals, must enter the spiritual mountain to practice. ”

So saying, the widow reached out and took the water she had just bought in front of the ruined temple and took a sip. Then he said; "It is said that people want to practice to become immortals, and strive for immortality, which is what Taoists think, all the sects in the world believe that people must die if they are born, and after death, they will either go to heaven or hell, but Taoists believe that people can cultivate into immortals and live forever. So where does this thinking come from? Derived from the "Zhou Yi", the Book of Changes is the open source of Eastern humanistic thought, and the source of a hundred schools of thought, so why do Taoists think that as long as 'respecting the Tao and honoring virtues' is natural, 'immortal and noble beings'? This is because Zhou Yi's thought comes from the theory of yin and yang in mathematics, and the theory of yin and yang comes from the dualism of the beginning of human understanding of the world, that is, the theory of yin and yang, the theory of heaven and earth, the theory of human deity, the theory of kings and ministers, and the theory of good and evil. This kind of thinking is scientific in itself, and it is an open-source theory of ancient materialism. But the source of Taoist thought comes from Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi's thought was born in the early Mongolian period of human beings, when human humanistic thought originated from what we call "dualism" thinking today, when human beings believed that people's "consciousness" could be separated from the "material" structure itself, and ideology existed independently before the material structure, so Zhou Yi's thought originated from idealism, which was the natural ideology of early human beings in the early Mongolian period, believing that the world is the two poles of yin and yang, the coexistence of heaven and earth, the world of gods and men, and the world is a world created by God.

However, the later Taoist theoretical system has formed a major transformation since the Han Dynasty, believing that the world is material, consciousness exists after matter, and the material structure is the main body of the transformation of the two forms of yin and yang, and the material structure contains five kinds of substances, and the five material structures are mutually exclusive and mutually reinforcing, and then the theory of yin and yang and the theory of five elements are formed. This ideological and theoretical system is the origin of the naïve materialist thought of the ancient Oriental three-dimensional argument for the existence of matter.

However, since the Qin Dynasty, the intellectual circles in the East have stagnated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period; With the Qin Dynasty as a watershed, the Eastern ideological circles for more than 2,000 years have stayed in the Zhou Yi Thought period of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with few major changes. Why?

The reason is simple, Confucianism and Taoism formed during the Warring States period entered the superstructure and became a theoretical tool for ancient rulers to govern the world. Taoism first came into the sight of the rulers. The early rulers of the Han Dynasty were believers in Taoism, and used the Taoist idea of inaction to rule the lower classes, which played an important role in the recuperation of the people after the end of the Qin Dynasty's harsh government. However, Taoism believes that the world is material, and there are yin and yang in the material, and Tai Chi changes, yin and yang are exchanged, advocating 'double nourishment of the two sexes', and following the basic principle of mutual exclusion and mutual reciprocity of the five elements in the material structure, so Taoism has 'the emperor takes turns to sit, Tomorrow to my home's thoughts, it is conceivable that this kind of thinking is not favored by the rulers, Taoism's idea of deification and re-immortalization in the middle of the Han Dynasty formed a form, this ideology that deviates from the imperial ideology is not accepted by the superstructure in any case, so Taoist thought was driven out of the superstructure field by the rulers, and replaced by Confucianism with the same ancestor and the same lineage, Confucianism also respects the theory of yin and yang contracts, and also believes that the world is conscious and material, but Confucianism believes that ideology determines the attributes of the material structure, that is, God, heaven, and heaven are the main body that governs all things and peoples, and the emperor on earth is sent by the emperor of heavenIt is sent to govern the country and the people, so there is heaven and earth in the world, there is yin and yang in matter, people are divided into men, the country is divided into kings and ministers, families are divided into fathers and sons, both sexes are divided into husband and wife, monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons and sons, everything follows the outline, and the natural law that Confucianism thinks, this is the outline law in Confucianism, this kind of thinking is of course what the ruler needs, and naturally there is Dong Zhongshu's superstructure idea of 'deposing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone'.

Since Dong Zhongshu, the humanistic ideological circles of ancient China have appeared in the form of mixed meanings of Confucianism and Taoism, while Taoism gradually withdrew from the superstructure or entered the people, or escaped into the mountains and forests, while Confucianism gradually formed into the orthodox thought of ancient Chinese, and thought was the source of power to influence action. Thought influences action, so the ideology of ancient China formed localized Confucianism and Taoism.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Buddhist culture was introduced into China, and the era of the emergence of Buddhist culture was basically the same as that of Confucianism and Taoism, and it was a product of the same period. However, the introduction of Buddhist culture into ancient China was relatively late, and the ideological source of Buddhism was basically the same as that of Confucianism and Taoism. Buddhism believes that 'Buddha' is an invisible 'personality' of reason, emotion and ability, a personality force of great wisdom, great compassion, great joy, and immeasurable omnipotence. Although the grammatical structure of Yin and Yang is different from that of Confucianism and Taoism, its essence is the same and simple, so after the Buddhist culture was introduced to ancient China, it was quickly accepted by people, from the emperor to the common people. Buddhism talks about 'emptiness', and Buddhism believes that those who want to become 'enlightened' must first realize themselves. Any sect in the world has its own imprisoned thoughts, and a sect without imprisoned thoughts cannot form an ideology, and the same is true of Buddhist culture; The idea of emptiness in Buddhist culture is the source of the ancient Chinese's idea of submissiveness, and of course it is very willing to be seen and accepted by the ancient rulers. Therefore, during the Tang Dynasty, it was favored by the rulers, and it was vigorously advocated and popularized by all living beings.

Ermao, why don't you take the trouble to tell you these truths? Because if you want to learn numerology well, you must understand the philosophy of thought, because numerology is born from philosophy, it is a part of philosophy and social science, and it is inseparable from the category of philosophy and social science. Numerology is strictly speaking, similar to Western psychology, and belongs to the contemporaneous products of Western psychology, but the cultural background is different, and the products produced are also different, but their essence converges, and they are all looking for the weakness and excellent essence of human nature. Psychology is a science that studies psychological phenomena and psychological laws, while the research direction of numerology is to explore and study the natural phenomena and natural laws of human vital signs and psychological signs affected by nature in a natural state. Numerology is longitudinal in exploring the law of change in people's actual behavior, and the study of psychological tendency lags behind Western psychology, while the study of the law of change in human form is higher than that of psychology.

Western psychology was born in the third century BC, and Eastern numerology was produced in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which was earlier than the era of Western psychology. Psychology and numerology, the same belongs to the category of philosophy, psychology from the birth to the development of an independent discipline, after more than 2,000 years of development process, in the seventies of the last century, did not really separate from the philosophical system, become an independent discipline in the world, and was accepted by the world cultural and ideological circles.

However, Eastern numerology does not have the same fate as Western psychology, and Eastern numerology can be described as ill-fated. Since the birth of ancient numerology, it has been suppressed many times, the reason is that the unscientific dregs with strong superstition left over from ancient times in numerology have not been eliminated, and the unfounded pseudo-scientific elements of these superstitions are still in the process of continuous fermentation.

Ermao, let's talk about it here first, and I'll tell you later what is mathematics and numerology, as well as the age and relationship between mathematics and numerology. ”

With that, the two got up and continued to walk up the hill.

Lao Jun said yin and yang in front of the mountain,

Confucianism and Taoism follow the easy outline.

Dao Ke Dao is very Dao,

Etiquette, morality, and people.
