Chapter 476: My name is Zhuang Zhou
What's wrong? Don't? Am I not speaking well? Why didn't there be a little applause?
Zhuangzi thought to himself: It must be that he is not good enough.
If it weren't for these protectors to cheer him on, really! Not even a little applause. As the inheritor of Taoist doctrine, it hurts my self-esteem too much, right?
Taoism is indifferent to fame and fortune, but it depends on when. In the current situation, I still care a lot about reputation. Because! At this time, his reputation was related to his survival and his fate in the Qi country.
It's about how many pounds and taels you have!
As the inheritor of Taoist doctrine, when he came to the Qi Guoji School Palace to give a lecture, no one listened, so he was still mixed with wool?
Zhuangzi came to Qi to find his mother, Rong'er, Qing'er and Tianya Nameless, which is one of them. He also had a very important purpose, which was to go to the Jixia School Palace to explain his Taoism.
Although he didn't want to live in the Jixia School Palace of Qi for a long time, at the very least, he had to get a place in the Jixia School Palace. Otherwise? He is not the inheritor of Taoist doctrine, so he is not worthy of being this inheritor.
It was also at the time of Zhuangzi Lengshen, suddenly! There was a loud five-five in the hall on the first floor. Meantime! There were also cheers!
"Smack! Syllable! Smack......"
"Good! Good! Good ......"
At this time! In the hall on the first floor, everyone was cheering except for him and the few Taoist protectors. Almost all of them were clapping high-fives and cheering.
During the Warring States period, this set of people was not popular in today's society, and they applauded at every turn. At that time, people generally did not give high-fives easily. High-fives are different from clapping, which is a quick and hard clap or a symbolic clapp. And high-five! It's a powerful, rhythmic beat. To use an unpleasant analogy, it's like stomping your feet with pleasure.
"Good! Good! Good! ”
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
Not to mention, there are actually people who are stomping their feet rhythmically and shouting hello!
A tall middle-aged man in armor walked over from the crowd and stood not far in front of Zhuangzi, stomping his feet and shouting hello.
Soldiers in general have this habit! They don't high-five, but! Stomp and applaud. Because! The soldier holds a weapon in his hand and cannot high-five, but stomping his feet can show the temperament of a soldier even more. If all the sergeants stamped their feet and shouted good, the momentum would be really magnificent, and the earth would be shaken.
The middle-aged soldier bowed down to Zhuangzi again, and then said: "As a soldier, I deeply understand the cruelty of war. Just now! After listening to your sermon, I admire Mr. Lao Tzu more and more! He's a wise man! ”
Zhuangzi also hurriedly returned a salute to the other party, and then! Look at each other and listen attentively.
"Young people! Not bad! Promising! You are so young, you can understand Mr. Lao Tzu's moral scriptures, admire it below! Admire! ”
"Where? Where? ”
"Young man!" The middle-aged soldier continued: "If I hadn't experienced the war myself, witnessed it with my own eyes, how could I have understood these truths? And you! It's really not easy to explain Lao Tzu's moral scriptures so easily understandable! Visible! You didn't memorize the scriptures, but! You get the idea! I'll serve you! ”
"Where! Where! Zhuangzi said modestly: "What I just talked about is only an exposition of Mr. Lao Tzu's moral scriptures, and I have not explained them in detail!" ”
"Oh?" The middle-aged soldier was even more surprised.
The people around him also looked at Zhuangzi with amazement.
Many people thought: It can't be him who says he's fat and he gasps, right? He said so well that he said he hadn't elaborated yet, so if he did, how wonderful would it be?
"Actually! It can also be elaborated on why the dead are treated with funeral rites. Why do you want to mourn the enemies you killed?
Because! Most of them died innocently, they were not fighting for themselves, they were only fighting for the princes and kings, they were only fighting for certain people, they had no hatred for us.
But! Because of the princes and kings, because of the reasons between the countries, because of the preferences of some people, the people between the two countries become enemies.
As a Taoist, we look at problems from the perspective of an individual person. From the perspective of individual people, if there is no conflict of vital interests between us, there will be no fighting. So! Beat the other party to death, achieved victory, and did not have the joy of victory. Because! There is no hatred between us!
Hatred! It is because of the country, the hegemonic ambition of the princes and kings, and the preferences of the princes and kings that there is hatred between countries, and it develops into hatred between the peoples of the two countries......"
Zhuangzi explained in detail Lao Tzu's "funeral treatment", and then! It is back to the issue of the Qiyuan people dealing with the corpses of Korean soldiers. Say! The Qiyuan people would not strip the clothes of the deceased and sell them for money, let alone bury the deceased's body as fertilizer in their own vegetable garden. Opposite! The people of Qiyuan will only "deal with it with funeral rites" and also sacrifice the deceased......
"Huh? And what's going on? ”
"This, this, this?"
"That's it!"
"Rumors! That's all I said! 'I'll tell you' he's a fool! He was taken advantage of by his friends. His friend must have received the benefit of others, deliberately spreading rumors about the Qiyuan people. How is that possible? He also stripped the deceased of his clothes and buried the deceased as fertilizer in his own vegetable garden? ……”
After listening to Zhuangzi's preaching, the people around him fell to one side again, helping Zhuangzi to speak, and helping Qiyuan people to speak.
"It must be the Koreans who are spreading rumors!" Some people speculated: "So many people died in South Korea at once, can they serve?" So! They deliberately spread rumors to anger the people of the world, so that everyone in the world went to attack the Song Kingdom and the Qiyuan. ”
"Wrong! Wrong! Someone retorted on the spot: "You are wrong! It doesn't have to be done by Koreans! I think? It must have been done by someone else who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic! Or! It was done by people who hated the Song Kingdom. They wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to destroy the Song Kingdom. ”
"Destroying the country? How is it possible to destroy the country? ”
"Why can't you destroy the country? As long as the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty issued an edict, thinking that the Song State disposed of the corpses of Koreans in this way, it was against the Zhou etiquette, and the Song State should be destroyed, what else can you do? Zhou Tianzi's edict? ”
"Come on, huh? Zhou Tianzi is a yarn? Who listens to his edicts? ”
"Wrong! According to the feudal system of the princes, the Song State will not be destroyed! Even if the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is angry, and he sends an edict to do something to the Song State, it will only make the Song State change a king......"
The middle-aged soldier in armor did not participate in the talk of the people around him, but! Came to Zhuangzi and bowed deeply. asked: "Dare to ask this young talent, with a high surname?" ”
Zhuangzi smiled and said, "My name is Zhuang Zhou!" ”
"Zhuang Zhou? Zhuangzi? You are the inheritor of Taoism, Zhuangzi? ”
"Exactly!"
