Everyone thinks that Chen Yuan must still have a routine waiting for Hua Xue, with an expression or something, how can it be so easy to judge?

Hua Xue thought the same thing herself, and secretly raised her vigilance in her heart. Just wanted to say something, but suddenly felt that something was wrong on his face, and said aggrievedly: "But sister, if you don't say that I don't feel it yet, when you say this, I can't help but subconsciously control the expression on my face!" ”

Ha, the three adults laughed again, they all had this kind of experience, many things are not reminded and cannot be noticed, once reminded by others, they will subconsciously focus their attention on it. The Bian sisters didn't understand what was laughing about, and tried to actively control their expressions, giving each other a grimace, and then laughing as well.

Chen Yuan praised his wit in his heart, that is, he wanted you to focus on your face, in this case, if your voice was fake, maybe it would reveal flaws.

On the surface, Chen Yuan looks like no matter how you explain it, in short, I just stare at your expression.

"Let me ask you, you have always said that you are a Confucian inheritance, and I am very strange, isn't Confucianism the Four Books and the Five Classics? How can there be martial arts? ”

Hua Xue breathed a sigh of relief, this question is very simple, but for the sake of safety, he does not plan to communicate with his mind at will, so as not to expose flaws.

The Four Books and Five Classics are the collective names of some of the classics of Confucianism by later generations. The Five Classics originated from the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when Dong Zhongshu deposed the hundred schools and respected Confucianism. The Four Books are Zhu Xi's distortion and castration of the Confucian classics, and only the parts related to his own thoughts are selected.

"The original orthodox learning of Confucianism is actually the six arts. When Confucius taught his disciples, he taught these six arts. The six arts are the six basic talents that Zhou Wang's official school requires students to master, namely: etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics. Archery is archery, and the imperial rule refers to driving a horse-drawn carriage.

"In the Zhou Dynasty, the most powerful type of army was the chariot drawn by the horse, and the nobles used archery to fight on the chariot. In other words, the royal is to control the mount, and shooting is the combat skill of the nobles.

"Later, the tank was no longer the main combat unit, and even basically withdrew from the battlefield. The royal changed from driving to horseback riding and light skills. On the other hand, after losing the mobility of the chariot, archery was no longer the main way for nobles to fight, and it was inconvenient to hold the reins on a horse. The Confucian tradition of archery has also changed to fighting with a sword. After all, the sword has always been regarded as a gentleman's weapon. ”

Chen Yuan didn't wait for Hua Xue's heart, and had some guesses in his heart, probably when Hua Xue was emotional, she could hear his heart?

Without interference, Chen Yuan listened carefully to Hua Xue's answer, and asked: "It's easy to understand that the royal change is riding a horse, what's the matter with light work?" If you can't shoot arrows on horseback, how did the Mongols go south? ”

"Light work is because you can't afford to buy a horse. As for the Mongols' mounted archery, that was after the invention of the stirrup. The stirrups allow people to use their feet to fix themselves on the horse's back, which frees up their hands and allows them to shoot arrows. Prior to this, horses were mostly ridden with one hand, occasionally assisted by the other hand holding the reins. ”

Everyone listened carefully to Hua Xue's popular science, and even the three adults who read the most books also learned some poetry, books, rituals and music, but they hadn't heard these secrets that Hua Xue said.

"What's going on with internal strength?"

This question is a little more complicated, and Hua Xue also consulted the system to have a more accurate answer: "According to records, since ancient times, human cultivation has been nothing more than the three essences, qi and spirits. Confucius said, 'If you learn without thinking, you will be reckless, and if you think without learning, you will die.'" What do you mean? Learning is to learn martial arts, practice is refinement, and strengthen the body, but if you only strengthen the body, people will become well-developed limbs and simple-minded, so they will be 'reckless'; on the contrary, thinking is meditation, cultivating is the spirit, and exercising the original spirit. But if you only exercise the original spirit, the person's body will become weak and unhealthy, so it will 'die'. ”

"Huh?" Exclamations rang out.

After all, "The Analects" is the first article after graduating from Mengxue, and even Chen Yuan has studied it, not to mention that the other five are talented women. And this sentence that Hua Xue said is precisely one of the key points in the "Analects". It's just that the women couldn't imagine that this sentence could be explained like this, and they all felt confused.

Hua Xue continued: "In fact, Taoists also have a similar saying, among the eight immortals, Lu Dongbin has "Knocking on the Song" handed down, which has a saying, 'Only cultivating nature, not cultivating life, this is the first disease of cultivation.'" Only cultivating the ancestral nature and not cultivating the Dan, it is difficult for the Yin Spirit of Ten Thousand Tribulations to enter the Holy Spirit. It's the same thing. It's just that Lu Zu was originally a Confucian disciple back then, but I don't know if he has received the true transmission. I don't know if this poem of his is his own comprehension, or whether it is a change of the meaning of Confucius. Of course, Confucius also studied under Lao Tzu, and it is not certain whether his words were inspired by Lao Tzu. ”

The girls gradually woke up from the shock, Chen Yuan was not proficient in the "Analects", and had other thoughts, so he was the first to come back to his senses, and at this time he reacted to one more thing, and said angrily: "Okay, you! You only taught me to exercise, not how to cultivate the original spirit! Say! Do you want me to train myself to be stupid, and then it is easier to lie to me? ”

"Poof!" The women who reacted laughed again, there is still this kind of operation?

"How is that possible!"

Chen Yuan heard two voices again this time, but she was still struggling with the problem of becoming stupid, and she didn't have the heart to care about this for the time being.

Hua Xue explained: "I talked about essence and spirit before, and internal force is qi, and I taught my sister's kung fu to cultivate internal force, not physique and primordial spirit." ”

Only then did the girls react, Hua Xue said "spirit and spirit" before, but she really didn't explain "qi" in detail.

"Qi is the blood and the gas of grains. Confucius said, 'Though there is a lot of meat, it does not make it better than food.' I read what the commentaries say: 'There is a lot of meat on the table, but the amount of food you eat does not exceed the amount of rice and noodles.' Saying that this is the meaning of Confucius eating in moderation made me just want to laugh when I saw it. Does this mean that as long as you eat unlimited rice and noodles, you can eat unlimited meat? Where is the moderation? ”

The women felt that what they had learned before must be a fake Analects, and they were all waiting to hear his explanation.

"As for meat, the tonic for the body is mainly reflected in the strong body, so Cao Di said 'meat eaters despise', which is the aforementioned overpractice, resulting in a simple mind. Confucius actually said that you can absorb nutrients from food to exercise your body to a greater extent, but the premise is that it cannot exceed the level of your 'food qi'. 'Eating qi' refers to Confucius's method of cultivating the primordial spirit: refining qi and transforming the gods. That is to say, in the beginning, Confucius's cultivation method was only two kinds: 'eating meat and transforming essence' and 'eating qi and transforming gods'. ”
