Three hundred and eighty-five chapters
"Those who know what the heavens do and what people do are the best. Those who know what the sky does are born in heaven. He who knows what others do, he who knows what he knows, and who nourishes what he knows...".
"The true people of the ancients did not know how to live or die; Its exit is not available, and its entry is not far away; It's just a matter of coming, coming. Don't forget where it started, don't seek what it ends; Rejoice in it, forget it...".
The sky outside has been gloomy, the cold wind gusts and the rain may fall at any time, so the low-pressure and oxygen-deficient weather is not suitable for morning exercise, so I can only stay in the study to endorse.
Kang Ran casually flipped through the homework on the desk, Xiao Tian'er shook his head and was memorizing ancient texts seriously, but he also peeked at Kang Ran's face from time to time, Su Wu and Leng Xuan were very strict with his teaching and supervision, but this kid was afraid of this Mr. Kang, who had always been smiling at him, because he only called Kang Ran 'Master'!
Su Wu is 'Old Ancestor' who dotes on him very much, Leng Xuan is 'Brother Xuan' who protects him very much, and only this 'Master' is the one who is really strict with him.
"Well, it's not bad..."Kang Ran praised with satisfaction, this kid's extraordinary qualifications surprised him and liked it very much.
"Master, why do you want to memorize the Zhuangzi?" Xiao Tian'er was very aggrieved and wanted to talk about the conditions, "I don't understand such a thick book, can I not memorize it?" ”。
Kang Ran still replied with a smile on his face, "It's okay if you don't understand, you can understand it slowly after reciting it for more than ten or twenty years." You're still young, and you have time to understand and paraphrase...".
"But the 'old ancestor' said that there is no direct connection between memorizing "Zhuangzi" and practicing kung fu, and you can practice kung fu without memorizing "Zhuangzi", Master, I will definitely be able to study well if I don't memorize that book..."
Although Kang Ran did not reprimand him, he also taught without any negotiation, "No! You have to memorize that book, and when you grow up, Master will tell you why! ”。
"That's... Master, you say, how long will it take me to grow up? Xiao Tian'er was a little sad, he was just three years old, he wanted to wait until that day, it seemed that he would have to wait for a long, long time, right?
"Hmm... It's not a one-size-fits-all question... Oh, to be exact, it should be different from person to person..."Kang Ran suddenly felt a little sad, this question is really difficult to answer.
Everyone grows up at a different age, some people are born teenagers, and some people can still maintain an unbroken childlike heart after living a handful of years.
For example, the personalities of Su Wu and Leng Xuan are both super characters in the category of childlike innocence, and their hearts don't seem to have grown up, but such characters don't seem to really need to grow up.
"How does it vary from person to person?" Xiao Tian'er didn't understand and asked, "It's the one who knows what the sky does, and he is born by nature." Those who know what people do, with what they know, to nourish what they know? ”。
"Oh, you think so?" Kang Ran couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, but he also explained seriously, "The meaning of this passage is: know what the natural way of heaven does, and also know what people do, and the natural principles of the operation of the way of heaven are known because of the principles that conform to nature, and use the principles known by human intelligence to conform to what the intellect cannot know...".
Although the master explained very carefully and in detail, Xiao Tian'er, who was only more than three years old, thought about it very ignorantly, and looked at Kang Ran with a more ignorant expression, and then showed a cute smile.
If you don't understand, you don't understand, and it's useless to pretend to understand. It is impossible for such a young child to be so magical that he can really experience the broad and romantic aesthetic realm in Mr. Zhuang's article, and it is normal to not understand it.
"Got it? Is there any truth in what Yin Bai said? Kang Ran asked, teaching and preaching, answering questions and solving doubts is his basic responsibility as a master, at least he can't be a perfunctory misleading child.
"Well, oh... I think... Master, what do you mean by that? Xiao Tian'er shook her head very seriously, just ask if you don't understand! Let him comprehend such a broad and profound ideological law, heaven and earth do nothing, and all things are one, how can he understand it?
"If you don't understand, ask, tell me which sentence you didn't understand?" Kang Ran was also infected by Xiao Tian'er's cute smiling face, and couldn't help laughing.
Actually, he didn't understand all of them, but he didn't need to understand them at this time, but had a more important question to ask.
"Master, I want to know if the fish in 'There Are Fish in the North Underworld' is a lake fish or a sea fish? Why does it turn into a bird? Xiao Tian'er really asked seriously, "There are also fish in the Bixi under the mountain, why can't they fly if they also have wings?" ”。
"Huh? Oh..."Kang Ran was asked, and in the original book, there is 'the sea will migrate to the South Hell, the South Hell, the Tianchi also', saying that the South China Sea is a natural big pool.
Isn't the brocade scale a thing in the pond and should be regarded as a pond fish, so it 'flies in anger and hits three thousand miles'? It was as if the exact answer to the question had never been carefully examined, and as to whether it should be a freshwater fish or a saltwater fish, he did not know and could not make up nonsense to fool children.
Xiao Tian'er then asked, "Master, you said, if such a big fish is made into grilled fish, can I eat it for many days, and if I can eat grilled fish every day, will I be able to fly?" ”。
"Oh? Would you rather eat grilled fish or fly? Kang Ran was shocked by this child's unique mode of thinking, he didn't understand Zhuangzi's leisurely and contented wandering realm between heaven and earth, but remembered the big fish that 'doesn't know how many thousands of miles', it seems that it is too early for him to memorize "Zhuangzi".
Xiao Tian'er replied very seriously, "Master, the book says: When you fly in anger, your wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. It's a bird, too... I think it's like I'll fly after eating the grilled fish...".
It is the first time that Mr. Kang has heard such a unique insight, but the children's intellectual curiosity and imagination cannot be easily reprimanded and stifled, and it must be explained and guided slowly.
"Why do you have to eat grilled fish to fly?" These are two completely unrelated questions, and Kang Ran, who is a master, also doesn't understand it.
"The book says: There is a bird, its name is Peng, its back is like a mountain, its wings are like the clouds hanging from the sky, and the one who shakes the horns of the sheep is 90,000 miles, and the clouds are absolutely cloudy, and the blue sky is negative..." I ate the fish, and of course it will fly! ”。
Kang Ran thinks it makes sense, at least the child still understands some of the plots, and it seems that this "Zhuangzi" should still be recited in full, because it can give the child a very romantic and beautiful imagination.
"I can ask Brother Xuan to take you down the mountain to eat, why didn't you go?" Such a young child doesn't have to go on a diet to lose weight, so he shouldn't be restricted from eating anything.
Xiao Tian'er shook her head very aggrievedly, "But Brother Xuan said... No way! ”。
"Why did Brother Xuan say no, what is the reason?" Kang Ran followed up and asked, he was too busy to be with his children at any time during this time, and this little Tian'er was growing up at a different rate than children of the same age, and he was not sure what kind of changes would happen to his body.
"Brother Xuan said... Well... He said..."Xiao Tian'er was a little sad again, "Brother Xuan said that the bird's wings have not yet opened, and it is useless to eat grilled fish, and it can't fly...".
Kang Ran finally understood what the kid was saying, "Xiao Tian'er wants to eat grilled fish, and you want Master to take you out to eat, don't you?" ”。
"Hmm... Uh-huh..."Xiao Tian'er replied with a big smile on his face, "Brother Xuan also said that if you can't finish the book, you won't eat it." Master, will you take me to eat? ”。
Such blatant abuse of young children will seriously affect the healthy growth of children, so Kang Ran took Xiao Tian'er's little hand and sighed, "Brother Xuan is right, when will you be able to memorize it?" After you finish reciting, Master will take you there! ”。
"Huh? Master..."Xiao Tian'er was stunned for a moment and wanted to cry, since it is not good to sell cuteness, he still has a trick to use to run to Dafa with tears, and he, the 'little ancestor', is not so easy to be bluffed.
"Xiao Tian'er really wants to eat, then you have to turn around first..."Kang Ran leaned down and uncovered Xiao Tian'er's shirt from behind, and looked at his back carefully, the prototype of a five-colored luan was already clearly visible. It seems that the power of this bloodline inheritance cannot be changed or concealed.
