Chapter 198: Old Diseases Have Not Been Eradicated, New Diseases Come (8)
The living always think about the dead according to their own wishes! Before the coffin goes out, you should choose the big head in front, and when you go out, you will turn the coffin around. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is believed that the deceased is lying in the coffin, just like a living person standing, and going out with his head forward, which is equivalent to looking back at his homeland and revealing his attachment to his family in the world.
After going out, the head is turned backwards, which indicates that you will not look behind you, and you will go straight to the land of bliss.
In fact, this person dies like a lamp going out, and when the lamp goes out, everything will return to darkness, where can there be such and such thoughts!
The reason why living people go to great lengths is nothing more than to win some empty names, and there is no real meaning at all.
Who in the world can be as heroic and free as Zhuangzi, and see through life and death!
Zhuangzi once went to the state of Chu, and on the road saw the skull of a dead man, and the dry bones were exposed to show their original shape. Zhuangzi was very curious and struck it from the side with a horsewhip.
Then he asked:
"Is it that the gentleman is greedy for his life and has lost the truth? Or have you been slashed with a sword and axe?
Or did they have bad behavior, fearing that they would leave shame on their parents, wife, sons, and daughters, and die in shame?
Or have you become like this by the scourge of cold and hunger? Or did you die like this? Zhuangzi said, took the skull, used it as a pillow and fell asleep.
(Zhuangzi Zhichu, seeing the empty skull, the skull is tangible, and he asked it with a horse, saying: "The master is greedy and unreasonable, and for this reason?") The general has the matter of dying the country, and the axe is punished, and for this?
The son has bad deeds, and he is ashamed of the ugliness of his parents and wife, and for this? The general is suffering from frost, and for this? The spring and autumn of the general, so what? So he spoke, and helped the skull, and lay down on his pillow. οΌ
In the middle of the night, Calvary showed Zhuangzi a dream and said:
"You were talking like a good debater. Look at what you have said, it is all the bondage of the living, and when a man dies there will be no such sorrows. Would you like to hear about what happens after death? β
Zhuangzi said, "Good. β
Calvary said, "When a man dies, there is no rule of kings above and no rulers below him; There is no toil of the four seasons, and the longevity of heaven and earth is regarded as the passage of seasons at ease, and even the happiness of the king of the south cannot be exceeded. β
Zhuangzi did not believe it and said:
"Do you want to have God of life restore your body, regrow your flesh and bones, and return to your parents, your wife, your children, your neighbors, and your friends?"
Calvary frowned, and said with deep concern:
"How can I forsake the joy of being king in the south and go through the toil of the world again?"
(In the middle of the night, Calvary saw a dream and said:
"The talker of the son is like a debater. According to what the son says, all people are tired, but death is nothing. What does the son want to hear about death? β
Zhuangzi said:
"Yes."
The skull said: "Death, there is no king on top, no minister on the bottom; There is no matter of the four seasons, and the heaven and earth are always the spring and autumn, although the south Wang Le, can not pass. β
Zhuangzi did not believe it, and said:
"I resurrect the son of the son, for the flesh and blood of the son, against the knowledge of the child's parents and wife, and the desire of the son?"
The skull frowned and said:
"Wu'an can abandon Wang Le in the south and return to the labor of the world!" οΌ
It shows how comfortable the dead world is, and I don't even want to come back!
What is valued by all living beings is wealth, nobility, longevity and good name; What I like is the comfort of the body, the abundance of food, the beautiful clothes, the brilliant colors and the beautiful music;
The lowly are poverty, lowliness, short-livedness, and notoriety; The afflictions are that the body cannot be comforted, the mouth cannot be frequent, the appearance cannot be beautifully dressed, the eyes cannot see brilliant colors, and the ears cannot hear pleasant music.
If you don't get these things, you will be sad and worried about them.
Zhuangzi's wife died, and Keiko went to express his condolences, but Zhuangzi was sitting with his legs spread like a dustpan, beating the tiles and singing.
When Huizi saw Zhuangzi like this, he was very displeased and said:
"You have lived with your dead wife all your life, giving birth to children until you die of old age, and it doesn't matter if you don't cry sadly when you die, and you sing a song with a tile, isn't it too much!"
Chuang Tzu said:
"No. When this person first died, how could I not be sad and sad! However, on closer examination, she was never born in the first place, not only was she not born and had no body in the first place, not only did she not have a body and she did not form a vitality in the first place.
Mixed in the trance-like realm, there is a vitality that changes, a vitality changes and a body, a body changes and a life, and now the change returns to death, which is the same as the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
The dead man will lie peacefully between heaven and earth, and I will cry around her, thinking that I cannot understand the destiny of heaven, so I will stop crying. β
People come from between heaven and earth, and eventually return to heaven and earth, so the cycle of life and death makes the emotions in the world have the value of existence.
The joy of the first birth and the grief of the time of departure show the brilliance of humanity everywhere and little by little.
Of course, he didn't care about Li Gui's death, no one thought back to his parents, his concubine, and cried for him!
The funeral procession mourns and glories, and "road flags" are planted along the wayβsmall pennants made of five-colored paper or white paper pasted to guide the souls of the deceased; Throw away the paper money to guide the way, to show that you can buy off the ghosts along the road.
Although Li Gui has no queen, but in the era of strict patriarchy, the sons and nephews of the same clan also appeared in the funeral procession, and over the years, due to the planning of the Li family's father and son, the affairs of the family have all flourished.
Although Li Gui is dead, Li Li's power is still there, and these nephews also know it, one by one, they are secretly pregnant with ghosts, and they have a huge family business, who doesn't feel hot. So this Li Gui's funeral is a full performance.
I want to leave a good impression on Li Li, as for the imperial physician Ling Li is now in his twilight years, I am afraid that the days are numbered, once he can take over such a huge family business before Li Li's death, the rest of his life will be enough for the rest of his life.
These sons and nephews are like mourners, wailing again and again, but the clear-eyed people can see through the hypocrisy and artificiality at a glance, so most of the neighbors choose to stay and take care of the fainted young lady.
The funeral procession occupied the entire street, making the carriage of the maidservant unable to move, and the maidservant was impatient, seeing that the funeral procession was not at the end.
"Whose funeral is this?" The maidservant asked the roadside spectators.
"The imperial doctor ordered Li Li's eldest son, Li Gui!" Said the enthusiastic spectator.
"Haven't you been dead for a long time? Why are you buried today? The maidservant asked with a little confusion.
"The girl doesn't know, 'hot death and hot burial' is not etiquette, and then you need to choose an auspicious day of the zodiac to be buried." The servant girl naturally had no intention of listening to him continue to ramble.
I was anxious in my heart, and I saw that if I didn't invite the imperial doctor Li Li back, it was estimated that King Qin would go on a killing spree! The funeral procession in front of him still didn't see the end, and the maid stood on the carriage and looked around, only to find that she was blocked under the outer wall of the Li Mansion at this time.
The servant girl pressed her feet, and only heard a whoosh, and jumped up to the wall with an arrow, so frightened that Fang was still a chattering person, and her eyes were about to pop out.
"Mom! It's a human or a ghost. β
It's no wonder that Qin's kung fu, just like the character of the Qin people, likes spears and fast horses! I have a lot of contempt for such agile kung fu.
From the initial disdain, in the end, no one cared about it, and when it arrived, no one would grasp it at all, and when it appeared again, it would inevitably stun countless Qin people.
The maidservant turned over the courtyard wall, condescendingly, and found a person sitting in the gazebo!
"Presumably, this person must be the Imperial Physician Ling Li Li!" (To be continued.) )
