Chapter Thirty-Nine: Leaving the Mark of an Adventurer
Li Jiancheng's words immediately made the audience boil, because of what? It is because of the "Book of Music" mentioned by Li Jiancheng, at this time, everyone who reads the Tao knows the Four Books and Five Classics, but in fact, there were originally six classics in ancient times, and the missing one is not the "Book of Music". These six classics are collectively called 'poetry, calligraphy, rituals, music, Yi, Spring and Autumn'. It is a pity that this "Book of Music" was lost in the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty. From then on, the Six Classics became the Pentateuch!
But at this moment, the emperor said that he had obtained the real "Book of Music" and the music it developed, which is undoubtedly shocking news for readers, if this matter is true, then as the emperor said this is a literary event!
There was a lot of uproar below, and things had developed to the point where it seemed that these scholars had forgotten what they were here for today, and the dozen or so ministers who were still kneeling below were more like monkey shows that they were tired of watching, and no one paid attention to them there. Now everyone wants to know about the Book of Music!
Li Jiancheng let everyone talk for a while and said: "Speaking of this "Book of Music", I can't talk about this master who gave me the Book of Music. The ancestors of this master, in fact, belong to my Chinese remnants thousands of years ago, and it was also because of the war that this ethnic group migrated out of my Chinese Middle Earth, at first they migrated all the way from my Chinese Middle Earth to the extreme east, you can imagine how difficult it is, my Central Plains has always regarded the miasma over there as a barbaric land, a bad plain, and rarely stepped into that boundary.
But this ancient relict clan is different, they rely on their tenacious spirit to travel all the way eastward over the mountains and mountains, looking for a paradise beyond this world, and it is clear that they have succeeded! They have successfully overcome nature, mountains, rivers and seas, they have overcome all the difficulties that stand in front of them, and they have found a paradise that belongs to them, which is really a beautiful paradise. There are high mountains and beautiful waters, fertile fields and strong cattle, and they have even found more high-yield and sweet grains, it can be said that there is no place to compare there, not even our Chinese land! ”
Li Jiancheng's story came to this point, and he paused, deliberately going to drink tea with the tea in front of him, which lost everyone's appetite. At this moment, everyone was surprised by his words, could it be that there are Chinese famous clans that can't survive overseas? And is there really a better place overseas than my Chinese land? If someone could hear Li Jiancheng's heart at this time, he would definitely vomit blood:, it's so difficult to make up stories!
Li Jiancheng put down the teacup and said with a smile: "At this point in the story, you may think that this ethnic group has lived in that paradise for thousands of years?" ”
Li Jiancheng paused again, everyone wanted to nod when they heard this, but then Li Jiancheng became very serious and said: "Actually, no, this population didn't stay in that paradise for long, and they embarked on a journey to find it again!" Do you know what this is for? Why did they find a beautiful home but did not settle down, and then embarked on the road of searching? What are they looking for? ”
Li Jiancheng asked three questions in a row, but did not give everyone time to think about him, he then answered: "Because of the truth! What truth? For what is beyond the land of China, there will be a broader and better truth than the land of China! What is the reason why we have not known such a place! In search of such an answer, this group of people who have abandoned their beautiful homeland and set out on their journey again, from the far east to the far north, from the far north to the far west, and from the far west to the far south. Finally, when they set foot in the backmost piece of the southernmost land, they knew a secret about the world's world, and they knew a great truth! ”
Speaking of this, Li Jiancheng smiled again: "What kind of truth is this?" I also asked the master about it, and he answered me like this! He said: This truth is neither a myth nor a legend. But it contains all the answers, only those who really pursue can know the Tao, and if you don't pursue it, you will never know the Tao, and you can't understand it! So the master gave me this speaker, and he said that this was one of the thousands of answers he knew! ”
Li Jiancheng told the whole story in a mysterious and mysterious way, and ended with a magical speaker at the end, which obviously gave everyone the illusion that they really had a great harvest, which undoubtedly made everyone yearn for it, what kind of truth did they know.
In fact, the archetype in Li Jian's story is actually modern man, and everything we have in modern times comes from continuous exploration and adventure. If I really want to talk about the only thing that my China has lacked for 5,000 years, it may be the courage of an adventurer!
What is the reason for the 5,000-year-old Greater China that makes her not have the courage to explore and take risks? It's that we're not strong enough! Or are we not strong enough? Regarding this, Li Jiancheng didn't know and didn't understand. But he at least knew that courage did not come from the flesh, but from the spirit. Li Jiancheng ignored those who were still kneeling below, they had courage, they had the courage to challenge the imperial power without risking their lives. But we don't have the courage to pursue the truth of this worldly realm, and what ultimately locks it all comes from within us.
In China, the culture of gods is incredible, and the gods we seek are often the embodiment of morality, they are so 'perfect' that every god has his fables and stories, which are still used to educate the world! This makes their image very close to that of mortals! The ancient Chinese, their spiritual pursuit is precisely these perfect moral incarnations. It is for this reason that ancient China has become an extremely idealistic country, and miraculously what is incredible is that this idealism does not believe in God, but the image of the 'superego' in everyone's heart! That is the so-called God's 'perfection!' 'The Chinese god is like a perfect mortal!
It is precisely this kind of divine culture that has the Tao Sutra that says that the sky is great, the earth is big, and the people are also big! The theory that 'heaven, earth and man' are equal. Such a concept is inconceivable in the foreign culture of the same time!
Outside of the land of China, God is different. The gods of the West, they are the symbols of self and freedom! They have no respect for reason or for the law! In their worldly realm, they are omnipotent, they can do everything, they do whatever they want. In the mortal world, mortals don't need to understand God's actions, they just need to believe in Him and fear Him!
This is the huge difference between the supreme spirits of China and foreign countries since ancient times, and it is impossible to put forward the doctrine of the equality of 'heaven, earth and man' in the Western god culture, which can only be done in the land of China. Because at that time, anyone else who dared to... Not to mention the shawl, even those who dare to question it have already been burned to death by them!
It's still the same set of theories about culture and survival, survival and oppression. Only when survival is unreasonable will we change the culture, so there is a story of a brave man challenging the demon king; Only when survival is unreasonable, we will pursue rationality and freedom, so there are pioneers and adventurers! Only when survival is unreasonable, we will pursue reasonableness, so there are wise men who seek the truth!
The biggest difference between the ancient Chinese and foreigners of the same period may be that at the top of spiritual civilization, one side is free and the other is oppressed! Therefore, it can also be understood that in China, where 'heaven, earth and man' believe in equality and freedom, he lost the courage for what to do, and he failed in the end. According to the laws of nature, ants living in the desert are always stronger than those in the cozy forest!
This world is naturally fair after all, and you pick up and throw away something. The reason why Li Jiancheng told such an adventure story of a famous Chinese tribe here is that he wants to leave a thought and a supporting evidence here, so that later generations can refer to it, and let them know that some Chinese have also explored adventures! If he can really leave such a mark, it will not be in vain for him Li Jiancheng to cross once!
This time Li Jiancheng is serious, this time he wants to be really honest and frank to try the conscience of the learned people of the entire clan at this time. If the entire clan is like this, then he Li Jiancheng is really disheartened and walks away. If this is the case, what can such a famous people be saved? It's too stupid to really regard Li Jiancheng as a savior. He just found a place to die......
So will Li Jiancheng be disappointed and walk away? Listen to the next breakdown......
