Chapter 1375: Civil and Military
Dragon Slayer.
The way of cultivation and the way of science and technology, in a certain way, are actually inherently contradictory, and when one path is strong, the other path will naturally be suppressed......
A very simple example comes from......
For a world where you can fly with a sword at every turn, the existence of such a thing as an airplane is itself unnecessary and meaningless, and for the immortals who can easily move mountains and seas, the so-called excavator is just a joke......
And the so-called excavator technology, no matter how good it is learned and how clever it is, it has no meaning at all......
In the final analysis, it is nothing more than people's perception of differences......
In fact, no matter what kind of world people are in, people always pursue efficiency, and no matter what path they choose to take, they are inseparable from the trade-off of efficiency......
To put it simply, running is always faster than walking, taking the bus is always faster than running, taking the train is faster than the bus, and getting on the plane is faster than the train......
No matter what kind of world it is, such a law is unchanged, and what kind of way is more efficient and what kind of way is more convenient is often easier to gain people's recognition......
Just like the reason why modern people prefer Western medicine to traditional Chinese medicine, in fact, it is also here, compared to Western medicine, regardless of the effect of traditional Chinese medicine, the biggest problem is the problem of the speed of effect, the medical treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, the vast majority of which are very slow to take effect, and Chinese medicine is such a thing. Not to mention that it is very troublesome to boil it up. And it takes a long time to take the drug to be effective. This is obviously an unacceptable medical treatment for modern people who are accustomed to a fast-paced life......
In the same way, it is the same principle to use tools to make life easier, and to exercise one's body to make oneself stronger......
If people can fly like supermen on their own, and they don't consume too much body in the process and can maintain a certain amount of speed, then will anyone still fly on a plane?
If in the real world, there are people who so-called the way of cultivating immortals. After cultivating, you can prolong your life, like in many cultivation novels, you can easily live for hundreds or even thousands of years, and even easily grasp the terrifying power like a humanoid nuclear bomb, so will anyone still study modern gunpowder and other weapons?
The answer, of course, is no......
At the end of the day, people wouldn't want to do things they could do on their own......
Only when they can't do it themselves, they will consider borrowing the power of external objects to achieve their own goals, but the number of times they use external objects is too much. often subconsciously ignore their own strength, thus degrading their own strength. In its place are increasingly advanced tools......
To take a simple example, it's like the gap between ancient people, modern people, and modern people......
Ancient people, but any scholar, calligraphy must be very good, at least the vast majority of scholars, especially the scholars who can get fame, if their calligraphy is put into the modern view, it is definitely the standard of elite people......
In modern times, with the advent of fountain pens, calligraphers who have attained calligraphy attainments, in fact, the number is relatively small, the literati of this era, generally speaking, have a hand-looking fountain pen characters, they can already be regarded as intellectuals, as for the brush characters, although the vast majority of literati have dabbled, but simply compare the level, it is certainly not comparable with the ancient readers......
In modern times, the vast majority of people are often very unfamiliar with calligraphy, which was regarded as a basic skill in ancient times, has become a special skill in modern times, and the vast majority of modern people, their characters and calligraphy have often tended to be ordinary......
Many people may have such a feeling, especially the post-80s and post-90s people, they actually need to write their own opportunities are very few, people in the 60s and 70s, the vast majority of people who have read books, the words are always not too ugly......
People born in the 70s and 60s, when applying for a job, the handwriting on the resume is actually part of their ability......
In the 80s and 90s, the situation was completely different, this group of people may have been writing with a pen for a long time when they were children, and when they really entered the society, they had basically reached a state of paperless office......
The vast majority of people's work will involve the storage of the computer, and in such a working environment, in fact, many people's handwriting skills will be greatly reduced, and there will even be some such as using the computer to type extremely smooth, but when you want to write what words by hand, not only are there many mistakes and omissions, but also there are likely to be all kinds of forgetting......
The change of fonts has also been simplified from traditional Chinese characters in modern times to simplified Chinese characters in modern times, and this process is actually a process of simplification......
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Dragon Slayer.
In fact, from a certain point of view, people's mastery and cognition of fonts have gradually become diluted and weakened under the convenience of computers......
In fact, many people do not realize that with the popularization of computers, people's dependence on paper and handwritten text is actually constantly decreasing, and perhaps one day, when people have become completely accustomed to virtual electronic writing, ordinary written words may become modern skills like calligraphy......
Ultimately. This is also a kind of evil consequence of the pursuit of technology......
With the advancement of science and technology. People's reliance on technology will also increase. And with this dependence, it is replaced by a weakening and degradation of one's own flesh......
Of course, the changes in the body are more of a simple survival of the fittest, and whether it is evolution or degradation is itself impossible to discuss......
For people who take the route of science and technology, their evolution is to improve their brain function as much as possible and reduce the strength and consumption of their body. And this kind of evolution, in the eyes of the people who cultivate the route, is a so-called degradation, and on the contrary, the cultivator's cultivation path, in the process of cultivation, will naturally make his body more suitable for cultivation, and this kind of change is a meaningless degradation in terms of scientific and technological civilization......
At the end of the day, evolution is good. Whether it is degradation or not, it is nothing more than whether it can adapt to the trend of the times......
It's like at some point. Maybe some people see a plaything in their eyes, but maybe in another era, it may be as well-known as a star......
In the final analysis, it is nothing more than to see what kind of profession is more suitable for what era, that's all......
The progress of science and technology itself is a kind of suppression of the cultivation system, which is a kind of negation of one's own strength, and the existence of high technology often suppresses the instincts of ordinary people to a great extent, so that the vast majority of people can use this convenience, thus suppressing the role that individual ability can play, making it difficult to truly reflect the differences between people and between individuals......
On the contrary, once the cultivation system really reaches a certain scale, it will also have a suppressive effect on science and technology, and cultivators who are absolutely dependent on themselves often do not have much interest in props that have no growth, and what they are interested in is often only the kind of means that can fundamentally improve their abilities, and they disdain some so-called kitsch and lewd skills......
This is just like the military of many countries, for the so-called spy organs, often have a contemptuous attitude, especially those generals on the battlefield, many of them are disgusted by the spies who are active in the shadows, out of the instinct of soldiers, they are often more enthusiastic about fighting the enemy head-on, rather than adopting the so-called shady espionage means to complete the task......
To put it simply, for the world where cultivation is used as a power system, they are often dismissive of the development of science and technology, they are accustomed to relying on their own strength to solve problems, no matter what kind of problems they encounter, they are always more accustomed to starting from themselves and finding ways to solve problems from themselves......
On the contrary, for the world with scientific and technological civilization as a power system, they tend to look at cultivation relatively lightly, not because cultivation cannot produce results, but because the effects produced by cultivation are often completely incomparable in efficiency and using scientific and technological tools......
And even if it is practiced, the actual lethality is not necessarily how powerful it is, even if you don't talk about weapons such as firearms, even if it is a special forces who have undergone a period of strict combat training, I am afraid that as long as you are in a group of three or five, it is enough to easily defeat or directly kill such a martial artist who has practiced martial arts, after all, it is not just to say that two fists are invincible to four hands, unless it is a martial artist who is skilled in martial arts to a certain extent, he can really not be afraid of group battles, otherwise, in the vast majority of cases, In the face of people with a certain strength foundation, even if their own strength is not weak in group battles, they will inevitably suffer, and most of them will choose to run away......
In the final analysis, if there are simple weapons such as firearms that can cause great lethality, ordinary cold weapons and martial artists who mainly practice cold weapons will inevitably be suppressed, which is a typical suppression effect......
The most important thing about this kind of suppression is not only the suppression of strength, but also a kind of psychological suppression......
For people who practice martial arts, they often have many purposes for practicing martial arts, but in the final analysis, it is nothing more than the so-called physical fitness, nothing more than the so-called ability to eliminate violence and peace, and nothing more than being able to see injustice and stand up like a chivalrous man......
A lot of people practice martial arts. The vast majority of them go with this in mind. What they are after. It is this feeling of being stronger than others, whether it is to eliminate violence and peace, or to do evil, it needs strong strength as support, and people with strength are always easier to deal with trouble, which is applicable everywhere......
But. In modern times, because of the development of science and technology, because of the existence of the law, so the vast majority of people, even if they practice martial arts, can not really eliminate violence and peace, and even face the embarrassment of accidentally injuring others or even death, plus, the cycle time of practicing martial arts itself is very long, but the effect after training is far inferior to weapons such as firearms. This is a huge psychological blow to martial arts practitioners, and it is because of this psychological blow. Therefore, more martial arts practitioners finally chose to give up and devote themselves to the army or bodyguards and other professions that carry firearms......
On the other hand, in ancient times, the situation was completely different......
In ancient times, this point was particularly obvious, especially in a chaotic period like the Three Kingdoms, the profession of ranger was actually very popular, and the ranger with good kung fu basically belonged to the typical ancient underworld, and among the rangers, there were actually a lot of people who were burdened with life lawsuits, and the vast majority of rangers with good kung fu and strong strength would become the object of respect or refuge of other rangers......
Not for other reasons, but simply because they themselves have strong force, whether they encounter officers and soldiers or bandits, they have enough force to protect themselves, and this is an incomparably precious thing in itself in troubled times......
The difference between being able to protect oneself and not being able to protect oneself in troubled times, is the difference between being dominated and being dominated......
And in such an environment, the idea that the vast majority of people maintain is a so-called idea of acquiring literature and martial arts and selling them to the emperor's family, whether it is literature or martial arts, as long as they can get their hands on it, they can gain a foothold in that era......
And the inheritance of martial arts, that is, in such an environment has been passed down from generation to generation, how to exercise, how to boil up strength, it can be said that those martial artists do not pass on the secret, many generals are because of a variety of inherited military training methods, so they can train strong soldiers, just like the so-called first dead soldiers, white ear army, Qingzhou army, tiger and leopard riding, trapped camp, white horse from righteousness, can be regarded as one of the best, this kind of elite soldiers, definitely not ordinary training can be trained, It is necessary to cooperate with soldiers with specific conditions and specific training methods to become an army, and it needs to be constantly run-in and fighting, so as to finally show strong combat effectiveness......
In ancient times, the so-called civil and military, in essence, both can be regarded as a kind of self-improvement......
In the first article, what improves a person's thinking, improves a person's wisdom, and improves a person's insight, so to speak, this piece is actually a kind of improvement and change for the soul power......
In some of the so-called supernatural ghost stories, the ghosts are charming, and the vast majority of them are those scholars who have no fame, the reason is that these scholars are weak in their bodies, and their yang energy is weak, and their cognition and understanding of knowledge are not deep enough. …
And those great Confucians in the real sense, in fact, are weak in body, but their strong souls, as well as the so-called heroic qi, are enough to keep them from ghosts, and there are very few big people who are confused by monsters, and most of the time, the objects that can be confused are just ordinary people......
In fact, ancient scholars are often very pious in reading and learning, so many people often study hard day and night, and do not ask about the world for ten years......
However, among the readers, once a reader really understands the knowledge, he will naturally be proficient in the world, someone once said that the world's insight is learning, and the practice of human feelings is the article, so it is very reasonable, the really wise reader, after reading the book, after reading the book, it will naturally be the world's insight and sophistication, all of them are sophisticated, so to speak, they are from the books, the so-called humanity that they really understand, understand the meaning of self-existence......
In ancient times, there was a very special phenomenon, that is, the major was not right, the vast majority of the candidates who were examined in the imperial examination were through guò articles to reflect their abilities, but when they actually dealt with local affairs, they often presented all kinds of confused cases, which was a very normal situation, in the eyes of modern people, this situation arose, because those candidates themselves are victims of examination-oriented education, and what they learn and what they want to use are completely different concepts. Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be some unconscious officials......
However, this situation itself is often only seen in relatively low-level officialdom, but all those high-ranking officials, although they have also read the same books, but their perceptions, their understanding of knowledge, is often enough to maximize the expansion of their knowledge, so that they can easily deal with all kinds of things, which is also the so-called all-in-one, touching the bypass......
In the final analysis, this is a typical way of writing......
Compared with the way of literature, the way of martial arts pursues a kind of physical strength, regardless of humanities, there is no so-called IQ and EQ, pure and powerful power...... (To be continued......)
