Chapter 650: Zhu Yuanzhang's Story
The announcement that the plane was ready to take off sounded in advance, quieting the otherwise noisy cabin. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
That Jack obviously wanted to trouble Wang Yang, but he had to calm down first. Park In-hye looked at Wang Yang in front of him, but he was thoughtful and didn't know what he was thinking.
Waiting for the plane to take off steadily, that Jack couldn't help but pat Wang Yang's seat, but was stopped by Park In-hye next to him.
Wang Yang turned his head just in time to see Jack's blushing face, while Park In-hye looked at him apologetically and smiled.
"Sorry......"
The reason why Wang Yang opened his mouth just now was purely to teach this Jack a lesson, so that he could understand that the Chinese feng shui physiognomy is unfathomable, and if you don't understand, you always say that you are a liar, and there is no other meaning.
"It's fine."
Nodding, Wang Yang signaled that he didn't care, and then turned his head again and heard Park In-hye behind him quickly talking to Jack in English.
She seemed to be translating what Wang Yang had just said to Jack in English, and at the same time warning Jack not to disturb Wang Yang casually.
Laughing, Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders.
In fact, many people look at Feng Shui physiognomy and react exactly the same as Jack, which is also a matter of no choice.
After all, when it comes to Feng Shui, it is easy for people to associate with superstition, without careful in-depth study, it is impossible to find that the relationship can not be linked with an equal sign at all, during the Great Revolution, the I Ching was classified as feudal superstition, and until now there are very few I Ching courses in universities, which shows people's attitude towards Feng Shui physiognomy.
You must know that in ancient times, the Book of Changes was one of the four books and five classics, and it was a must-take examination and something that must be learned, just like the current Chinese and mathematics, no matter what you take in the future, you must learn the knowledge in the early stage.
Although "Feng Shui" is more superstitious in form and appearance. But in fact, its content and essence have many merits.
The reason why everyone regards feng shui as a superstition is mainly because of the reference of Western natural science, but the problem is that Chinese feng shui is a traditional culture that has grown and developed on the land of China, and it does not only contain scientific components. More importantly, it is also an art of orientation.
Therefore, when you see Feng Shui, you can't just start from a scientific point of view, but also need to analyze it from an artistic perspective. This is not difficult to understand, if you only use it as a frame of reference from a scientific point of view, then some things are indeed difficult to understand and regarded as superstition, but if you change the frame of reference, from psychology and aesthetics. Looking at Feng Shui from the perspective of sociology and other arts, it is easy to find that Feng Shui contains many profound truths, and highlights one of the main characteristics of traditional Chinese culture, that is, "the unity of heaven and man." ”
And "the unity of heaven and man", from a scientific point of view, is exactly "only cause is not more effect", which is also the real meaning of what Wang Yang said before.
It's a pity. Wang Yang's lesson will not have any effect on that Jack, but I am afraid that he will feel a lot about the Korean girl Park In-hye.
Feudal society. All truths must be centered on the monarchy, and what the emperor says and does must be right, even if it is wrong, it is also very reasonable and wrong.
In this environment, the mystical feng shui physiognomy must have made up some lies in order to meet the imperial power. to corroborate some of the emperor's words and deeds.
Park In-hye actually understands this point very thoroughly, which is a kind of modesty, but it also has its very important role and reason.
Take Zhu Yuanzhang as an example, he conquered the world. If you are so happy and unceremoniously admit that your country was exchanged for a knife, then it will be difficult to guarantee that it will cause those who are active to be moved and eager to try.
This point is completely referred to in history, when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang said "the prince will have a kind of Xiangning", which led to how many heroes and heroes rebelled and died on the battlefield in order to fight for imperial power.
This situation will obviously pose a great threat to the stability of feudal securities, so on the contrary, if the supreme ownership of the country is handed over to the deaf and elegant "God", and wronged his biological father, then in exchange for the legitimacy and stability of the regime, that is, real human rights, wealth and fame.
Such a profitless business is something only a fool would not do. Therefore, in China, many seemingly absurd humanistic phenomena such as myths and feng shui creations actually played an important legal function in feudal society, proving the authenticity of the emperor's identity as the illegitimate son of "heaven" (the son of heaven), and further proving Wang Chao's political legitimacy and appeasing the people of the world.
Just like in the Song Dynasty, foreign invasions, the weakness and incompetence of the emperor who were officials, but the people who believed that they were the Song people, but they could burst out with a strong sense of national patriotism to support the country and support the Tongzhi of the Song Dynasty.
"Wang Yang, do you know what he said about Zhu Yuanzhang?"
Chu Yu had been listening to it just now, and she was convinced of feng shui, and she would definitely not be like Jack, who didn't understand at all, and Park In-hye, who didn't understand anything at all, but she was still curious why Jack wanted to take Zhu Yuanzhang out alone to prove that feng shui is all superstition and deception.
"Of course, are you curious about his story?"
Wang Yang nodded, and found that Wang Yang was very interested in what Jack said about Zhu Yuanzhang.
"I hate it, don't you know that no one has detailed it!" Chu Yu glared at Wang Yang, but it was useless at all.
"How is that possible, I know much better than he does!"
Wang Yang pinched Chu Yu's nose and couldn't help but feel funny.
In fact, the period that Jack said about Zhu Yuanzhang can only be regarded as a very normal example in the eyes of feng shui masters.
Zhu Yuanzhang's young name is Chongba, also known as Xingzong, the word Guorui, Haozhou Zhongliren (now Fengyang, Anhui), born in a poor family.
When Zhu Yuanzhang was seventeen years old, because of the drought and locust plague, his parents and brothers died one after another. Neighbor Liu Jizu saw that he was pitiful, so he gave him a look at the cemetery, so he was able to bury his relatives, and since then he has been alone, so he went to Huangjue Temple to become a monk. That is, later, he seized the opportunity to compete in the Central Plains, Dingding Jinling, and ascended to the throne.
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang, who became the emperor, was unwilling to admit that he was born as a beggar monk who herded cattle babies, so he posthumously respected the four generations, his father Zhu Shizhen, that is, Zhu Wuliu, posthumously named Emperor Jianren Zuchun, and at the same time sent his crown prince to Sizhou, which is now Sihong County, Jiangsu Province, to pay tribute to Zu Kaoyan.
However, due to the age, it is difficult to confirm the exact location of the burial place of the ancestors. Therefore, when the crown prince and his entourage arrived there, they had to stand on the city of Sizhou and look at the river.
This is not a satisfactory result for Zhu Yuanzhang at all. So he sent people everywhere to search on the one hand, and on the other hand, he searched for various feng shui physiognographers, trying to find his ancestral burial place.
It was in this context that on the twelfth day of the tenth lunar month of the seventeenth year of Hongwu, a clansman named Zhu Gui from Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown suddenly claimed that he had found the residence and burial place of Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather, and then announced a feng shui story that even Zhu Yuanzhang himself did not know in advance.
It was after hearing this feng shui story that Zhu Yuanzhang was happy, and promoted this feng shui story as a real person.
The origin of this feng shui story still has to start with Zhu Yuanzhang's posthumously named Zhu Chuyi, the grandfather of Ming Xizu.
Zhu Chu was born in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty, and was a native of Zhujia Village, Tongde Township, Jurong County, Jiangsu. After the world was disrupted, he took his family to Huai and settled in Sizhou.
After arriving in Sizhou, because he was highly respected, he did not encounter major events, and the local people often recommended him as the master of ceremonies.
One day, he was really tired, so he was lying down in a dirt pit under the mound of Yang's house behind the house, when suddenly two strangers, an old man and a young man, came.
Although these two strangers were wearing gossip robes, they did not have a towering bun like a Taoist priest, but instead wore a very casual drape.
After the two people came, the old one pointed to the pit where Zhu Chu was resting and said, "This place is the place where the true dragon knot is located, if you are buried here, the Son of Heaven will come out in the future." ”
The little one was very unconvinced, so he asked, "How can this be seen?" ”
The old man laughed, and then said: "Don't believe it, you can go and try to insert a dry branch, it only takes ten days, and it will definitely be dead and leafy." ”
After speaking, the old man wanted to wake up Zhu Chuyi and let him leave.
But as soon as Zhu Chu listened to the conversation between the two, he felt strange in his heart, so he kept pretending to be asleep and didn't want to get up.
So, the two strangers seemed to really think that Zhu Chu was asleep, so they didn't pay attention to him, but checked the branches in this pit and walked away.
When the two of them left, Zhu Chuyi dared to open his eyes, and looking at the backs of the two leaving, he realized that these two people were not dressed as Taoist priests, but more like the nearby feng shui gentlemen.
Turning around, Zhu Chuyi realized that these two people had really inserted a dead wood branch in the pit, as if they were waiting to verify whether they could sprout and produce leaves after ten days.
At the beginning, Zhu Chuyi felt that the two of them were joking, how could the branches of dead wood sprout and produce leaves, so he didn't take it seriously. But on the ninth day, he suddenly heard again.
Although he didn't want to believe it in his heart, he tossed and turned in bed that night without sleep, and when he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to hear what the two feng shui gentlemen, one old and one young, had said.
If you bury the true dragon knot, the Son of Heaven will come out in the future.
The Son of Heaven will come out!
As soon as Zhu Chu thought of this, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he hurriedly went out before dawn, and rushed to the dirt pit under the Yangjiadun behind the house to verify what the two strange people said.
When they got there, they found that the branches they had planted were really green, sprouting branches, and dead trees and leaves, and they couldn't help but be surprised, and their hearts were already set off in a turbulent wave.
Thinking of what the old man and the young man said, Zhu Chuyi moved his mind......
Wang Yang's story is here and he didn't go on.
Not only was Chu Yu beside him listening with relish, but even Park In-hye, who was behind, couldn't help but lean forward and listened attentively to Wang Yang's continuation.
But Wang Yang was not in a hurry, and raised his hand to beckon the flight attendant.
"Your mouth is a little dry, can you please bring me a glass of water?" (To be continued.) )
