Chapter Two Hundred and Four: Don't Use the Hidden Dragon
"How about asking Mr. to stay in the palace and guide Gu at any time?" Qin Yu appreciated Mr. Su Zi very much, and when they met in Pingshui, they were like old friends at first sight.
Mr. Suzi smiled and said:
"This should be said and finished, if you stay any longer, you will be suspected of eating white food!"
Qin Yu smiled, and then said, "Lonely, please afford it!" β
Su Zi smiled without saying a word.

Since Wanru apprenticed, every few days, Beigong Zheng would always take her out and go to Gongzihua.
Gongzihua has an elegant temperament, is humble and studious, and is extremely knowledgeable. Gongzi Hua is known for his virtue, and he is sensitive to things and cautious in words.
Therefore, Master Sun Qing often praised Gongzi Hua for having the four virtues of a gentleman, that is, being strong in doing righteousness, weak in being admonished, being afraid of being treated, and being cautious in governing oneself.
Gongzihua is a proud protΓ©gΓ© of Master Sun Qing, but he has always been indifferent to fame and fortune and doesn't want to be an official, otherwise Qin Yu would have arranged it for him a long time ago.
In ancient times, women didn't have to read so many books, but Qin Yu knew Wanru and knew that her talent was not inferior to that of men.
Therefore, this time Gongzi Hua came to Fancheng, Qin Yu happened to ask his senior brother for a favor. Let him be a student.
"I heard that you have always admired Master Sun Qing?" Gongzihua asked Wanru.
"Well, I have long heard of the name of Master Sun Qing, and thanks to the favor of the king, I was able to enter the Jixia School Palace, and I was fortunate to listen to Master Sun Qing's lectures. Those days will never be forgotten. β
Wanru took the Book of Changes, put the book on the desk, and talked to Gongzihua.
Gongzihua smiled, few women said that they appreciated Master Sun Qing.
"The more I look up at the teacher's way, the more I feel that it is clever, and the harder I study, the more profound I feel.
Seeing that it seemed to be in front, when we looked ahead, it suddenly appeared behind again, although the teacher's Tao is so profound and elusive, but the teacher is good at inducing us step by step. That's why we're interested in learning. β
"Then what is the senior brother going to teach me about the Book of Changes today?" Wanru was a little impatient, Gongzihua's lectures were much better than Master Sun Qing's.
Gongzihua talked about the knowledge of the Book of Changes, which was vivid and humorous, not boring at all.
The Qiangua is the first hexagram of the Book of Changes, called the first hexagram in the world, and there are too many things in it that affect people very generally, so the Qiangua has six dragons. It's well worth learning.
Since ancient times, the dragon, as a symbol of the Chinese nation, has been revered by Chinese, and Chinese also called himself the descendant of the dragon.
In the Book of Changes, which is respected as "the head of the group of scriptures and the source of a hundred schools of thought", the first hexagram is the Qiangua represented by the dragon:
The Qiangua is symbolized by the six yang lines, which represent the vastness and endless emergence of the universe. And most importantly, what kind of life principles are implied by the six yang dragons in the first hexagram of the Book of Changes?
Chinese like dragons so much because we know the three characteristics of dragons:
The first: varied.
The second: people can't grasp it.
Thirdly, it seems to be so powerful that it seems that no difficulty can overcome it.
The elephant of the Qiangua is: Tianxingjian, the gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement.
This makes us realize that to be a gentleman, we should learn from the spirit of self-improvement.
There are six continuous straight lines in the Qiangua, all of which are yang, and we can imagine how to get out of our own way step by step in such a situation.
This is divided into two aspects: on the one hand, the basic principles of life, and on the other hand, the basic principles of doing things.
The first line is called "Hidden Dragon", and the first nine words of the Hidden Dragon are: Don't use the Hidden Dragon.
"'Don't use the hidden dragon', this means that a person who has the ability does not need it?" Wanru said that she couldn't understand the meaning of this Ninth Hidden Dragon.
"Many people are angry when they see that the hidden dragon is not used, and they don't need to have the ability, so what's the use of having the ability? Many people don't understand that this don't use is not to use, not to use is to use. It's just how we do it in reality. β
Gongzihua's explanation, Wanru still thinks it is very abstract?
Of course, Gongzihua, when he explains it generally, is very careful, Wanru just wants to hear how Gongzihua explains how to use the hidden dragon.
"If a person is not capable, he is not qualified to be called a dragon. If you want to be the descendant of the dragon, first, you must first ask yourself if you are qualified to be the descendant of the dragon;
Second, since he wants to be the successor of the dragon, he must enrich himself and improve himself, otherwise he will have no potential and no dragon virtue.
The so-called dragon virtue refers to: the virtues of yuan, heng, li, and zhen. The hexagram in the Book of Changes is very simple, that is, the four characters 'Yuan, Heng, Li, and Zhen'.
These four words are the four virtues that must be possessed to be a dragon. β
Wanru thought about it, she felt that since Qiangua had the virtues of yuan, heng, profit, and chastity, why should she not use it? Isn't that weird?
Gongzihua saw the question in Wanru's heart, and said with a smile: "Actually, this answer is very simple? β
"Simple?" Wanru looked at Gongzihua with a pair of round eyes, indicating that she had no Huigen at the moment and didn't understand what her senior brother meant.
"Well, let's put it this way, for example, you just arrived at a place and started to express a lot of opinions, and the locals knew that you were new to the place, and you didn't know anything about the local area.
Isn't your situation dangerous? Therefore, when a person comes to a new place, he must be calm and understand more, which is called asking the local customs, first understanding the situation, and it is not too late to say that he has an opinion. β
Wanru nodded slightly, she really listened, and she was quite interested in the Book of Changes.
"So, entering the country is not to use the hidden dragon?" Wanru asked.
"Well, it can be understood in this way, of course, a person who is not capable is not qualified to talk about the use of hidden dragons, because he is not a dragon at all, it doesn't matter about hidden dragons, and he can't use them.
Hidden dragon do not use is a person has the potential ability, and can enrich himself, after preparation, can be used, but for the overall safety, do not show it for the time being. β
"But don't use it all the time, keep it latent inside, do you want to behave?" Wanru was curious about how to grasp this opportunity.
"The answer is still very simple, show when you should be, and don't behave when you shouldn't."
"This ......" Wanru was a little puzzled, how to control this timing?
"If we can do it in reality, and show our talent in the most appropriate dozen, then according to the Qiangua, we will rise to the realm of the second dragon see."
"Well, I see." In fact, at this time, the first person Wanru thought of who should not be used by the hidden dragon was Qin Yu.
She knew that Qin Yu was very talented, but now she had no choice but to be suppressed by her middle father everywhere, in fact, Qin Yu was very uncomfortable in her heart, but now the time was not ripe, he had to dive, because he was waiting for an opportunity.
