Chapter 500: International I Ching Conference
"Step old, you have to tip when you come here. Don't look at it as a doorman, his income is not low, he is considered a rich man. Yu Jiangzhou whispered.
"No wonder when I went abroad, the service ecology was average, and I didn't tip."
Bu Jiazhuo suddenly realized, but, with his old concept, next time he goes out, he still won't give it, I spent money, you should serve me, you can't just look at tips.
When Zhou Xuan came to the hall, he was amazed by the thoughtfulness of the organizer, the space was spacious, much like a private club, and the decoration was solemn and conservative. Walking up the spiraling steps, you can see that the venue has been set up. Considering that the attendees came from afar, and a considerable number of them were elderly, the seats were all soft and comfortable leather sofas.
Looking at the seats, there are more than 200, and the scale of the meeting is large. Some of them were already present, two-thirds were Chinese, and the rest were foreigners of all colors, all talking in whispers.
As the president of the association, Bu Jiazhuo attracted a lot of attention as soon as he appeared, some people came to say hello, and some took a group photo. Yu Jiangzhou was by his side and acted as a translator.
Here, Bu Jiazhuo found self-confidence, talked with his chest open, had Yu Jiangzhou here, and could communicate with people abroad.
"Step old, I haven't seen you for a few years, why are you getting younger and younger?" A white-haired old man in good spirits came to greet him, medium height, ruddy complexion, and wearing a tunic suit.
"Old Lu, your old boy is doing business here, I'm afraid you have forgotten how to write the Book of Changes, and you are embarrassed to come here for a meeting?" Bu Jiazhuo mocked.
"Hehe, adhere to the golden mean told by the Book of Changes, wealth is not happy, wealth is not worried, although I can't understand all the content, master one and be used for life. Step old, this is what you taught me, it's like Cheng biting three and a half axes of gold, it's okay to use it well! Old Lu laughed.
"Alas, the I Ching is obscure, and young people don't love it, which is why you merchants are here to fill up the numbers." Step by step sighed and struck unceremoniously.
Lao Lu smiled, friends for many years, meeting each other, they have long been accustomed to it, and said: "Step old, no, there are also young people participating today." ”
"Oh, it's Zhou Xuan, a big celebrity in Linhai, very talented."
"I mean the little girl next to you."
"Go, go, go! It's not serious! ”
The participants were very punctual, and there were five minutes left before the meeting, and all of them were there, and no one was absent. With a burst of applause, a middle-aged man came up at the staircase, less than fifty years old, tall and calm, in order to cooperate with today's activities, he also wore a set of red Tang costumes, which was very eye-catching in the crowd.
"This person is Yi Sheng, the CEO of Yicheng Group, who is mainly engaged in real estate and trade, and wants to enter the marine service and aviation industry in the past two years, and has done a relatively large job. The boss Yi Yun was born in a scholarly family, settled in London at an early age, and is also a lover of the Book of Changes. Miao Lin introduced in a low voice.
Zhou Xuan nodded, the boss who can sponsor the I Ching Conference must not be an idle person.
After Yi Sheng entered the arena, he shook hands with Bu Jiazhuo first, and then respectfully helped him to the front and sat down, Yu Jiangzhou sat next to Bu Jiazhuo as an interpreter, and winked at Miao Lin proudly, today she is the queen of the limelight.
Yi Sheng got up, first introduced himself in English, expressed his welcome to all I Ching lovers, and wished the conference a complete success.
"Also, there have been some changes to our schedule. The original three-day meeting was changed to five days, and two days of astrological forums were added, and the rest remained unchanged. Yi Sheng said again.
There was a commotion below, everyone was a little dissatisfied, and when it came, it changed again, why is it so dishonest? Besides, they all came from the Book of Changes, and many of them didn't know anything about astronomy.
After Yu Jiangzhou finished translating, Bu Jiazhuo was stunned, and couldn't help asking: "Yi Dong, why has the event arrangement changed, and you haven't said it until now?" ”
"Step Lao, I also received a notice at short notice, this is a request from the Royal Astronomical Society. Step old, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Yi Sheng whispered.
"Will there be royals?" Bu Jiazhuo hurriedly asked.
"Of course."
Bu Jiazhuo smiled, pressed down on his hand, and said: "The sun and moon are one elephant on seven days, and yin and yang are staggered to form four elephants, which is what we often call the seven stars and twenty-eight nights." The I Ching is closely related to astronomy, and the astrological forum is also within the scope of our conference, and there will be authoritative experts to come, so let's wait and see. ”
"Every seven days there is a face, there is an angle of 90 degrees, and the four images are a circle, 360 degrees ......"
Yu Jiangzhou's laborious translation can understand Bujiazhuo's words in Chinese, but those who can English are stunned because they don't understand Yu Jiangzhou's translation. Yu Jiangzhou's forehead oozed fine fragrant sweat, and he begged Zhou Xuan for help with his eyes, he was about to cry, what kind of broken theory is this, I can't understand Chinese characters, let alone translate.
The difficulty was too great, and there was a problem with Yu Jiangzhou's translation, so Zhou Xuan hurriedly said: "Miao Miao, you go up and replace Jiang Zhou." ”
"I can't help it, I'm not much better than her." Miao Lin sighed and shook his head.
After thinking about it, Zhou Xuan got up, and Yu Jiangzhou hurriedly got down from above and gave up his position.
Zhou Xuan not only translated, but also explained, "The sun and moon rotate, and every seven days it passes the celestial sphere at 90 degrees, which happens to be a face, and what we can see with the naked eye is this surface." It's just that in different regions, the faces you see are not the same, and there are endless changes. And to explain it with the theory of the Book of Changes, it is to look at the two rituals, the four elephants and the eight trigrams, of course, there are three talents, five elements, six paths and seven stars in the middle. As Bu Lao said, I Ching and astronomy are also closely linked. ”
In order to make foreign friends understand, Zhou Xuan also translated Liangyi into opposing yin and yang, Sixiang into four directions, and Bagua into the eight original forms of nature.
Bu Jiazhuo didn't understand, but the people sitting below listened with relish, and wondered in their hearts, why did Zhou Xuan say it so long, and he only had two sentences, could it be that he was verbose in English?
Yi Sheng nodded approvingly, and some people below applauded, they were all experts, this young man looked young, he was actually an expert in Yijing, and his English level was also very good.
From everyone's reactions, Zhou Xuan knew that he had translated well, and Yu Jiangzhou turned his head sideways and asked softly: "Miao Miao, to be honest, do you understand?" ”
"Do I need to understand?" The corners of Miao Lin's mouth lifted.
Hum! Yu Jiangzhou rolled his eyes, with Zhou Xuan by his side, Miao Lin really didn't need to master the Book of Changes.
"Next, we invite Mr. Bu Jiazhuo, President of the International I Ching Association, to speak." Yi Sheng said.
It was an episode just now, Bu Jiazhuo put on reading glasses, took out a thick stack of speeches, and recited it seriously, "Yi has Taiji, it is to give birth to two rituals, two rituals to give birth to four elephants, four elephants to give birth to gossip, gossip determines good fortune and evil, and good luck and evil give birth to great causes." The Book of Changes is the first of the group of scriptures, the three ancient times, the three saints of the human calendar, the crystallization of wisdom, the origin of culture ......"
Yu Jiangzhou wiped his sweat, it was the right choice to come down from above, these obscure words really can't be translated.
