A slight breeze slowly blew the earth, and on a land full of dead leaves, there was a smell of spring everywhere, and the smell of earth spread around this influx, and it was refreshing to smell it.

In this Taoist temple not far from a lake, there are all kinds of flying birds, there are swallows, there are cuckoos, there are yellow mud, and all kinds, flies fly around in the sky, so the sea is wide with fish jumping, the sky is high and the birds fly, this vast blue sky, all kinds of birds fly around in the sky, it seems very active, naturally these birds are nesting in the nearby mountains and forests, among which the number of swallows is the largest number, I saw them in flocks, flying around freely in this sky, it seems very active.

Runzhi said that it was already noon, and according to the general custom of this Taoist temple, at noon and morning, it was the time for these Taoist priests to pray for blessings.

I saw that on the huge endless Taoist temple, there were countless sacrifices, among these prostitutes there were naturally some rare antiques, and there were also some very beautiful and delicious foods, these sacrifices filled the entire hall, and in the middle of the offerings was a pink roast suckling pig. At the same time, these offerings are arranged in a large hall, which makes people look very blue and magnificent, and in the middle of these basic is a huge bull's head, which is a buffalo, which is the kind that is very strong, and the kind that grows in the field is very majestic.

Many Taoist priests, on top of this Taoist temple, stand in a row, forming a very grand procession, these queues are arranged in the form of a square in a neat form, looking very majestic and spectacular, these teams are all very dignified and solemn expressions, wild men attach great importance to it, this time bullied the original prayer is a mysterious ritual for Taoist priests, this ceremony has a unique meaning for this offer. Many Taoist priests in the reminder often convey many wishes in their hearts to the gods in the ups and downs, so as to seek happiness as the object of the practice, and this blessing ceremony does seem to be so stunning. Many Taoist priests are in the square, lined up in a neat queue, all dressed in white clothes, holding a wooden sword in their hands, and their mouths seem to be silently chanting words, silently chanting some incantations, only to hear the guidance of the Taoist chief at the top, the Taoist priests of Pigs seem to be waving their swords together in a certain pattern. A few people stood aside. Quietly watching these Taoist priests wielding their swords, I felt very surprised.

Runzhi looked at the thousands of Taoist priests who were wielding swords, and said to Chen Hanyun and Haozi beside him:

"The world is myriad, in the long river of human history, many classical arts are actually contained in certain rituals, human beings through such rituals, it seems to be remembering their ancestors, and it seems to be awakening some special memories, human beings are so wise that they can always find their own special position in the long river of history, and can have their own way to deal with many mundane things in the street world. In fact, human beings are so miraculous that they are always able to mobilize the collective subconscious in people's hearts in various ways, and through this collective subconscious, human beings can realize their own existence, so as to reflect the existence of human beings and witness each other's existence. In fact, human beings are the only intelligent creatures in the Qing world, with their own unique cultural system, and it is precisely because of this brilliant culture that human beings have achieved self-rebirth. ”17

Chen Hanyun seemed to have his own understanding of Runzhi's words, and only heard him think carefully about Runzhi's words for a long time before he said:

In fact, as you said, the most fundamental and special thing about human beings is that they have a splendid cultural system, and in fact, many things themselves exist because they are known by human beings, and it is precisely because they are recognized by human beings that they can be regarded as existing. The profound and long-standing culture of the Qing world, in the final analysis, is nothing more than the failure of many things, that is, the transformation of all kinds of concrete things in the Qing world into abstract existence, all like the laws between these things are summarized into some symbols, these symbol systems are what we call the cultural system, so culture is the thing itself in the final analysis, but it has a clear difference from the thing itself, that is to say, culture is the abstract representation of concrete things, in fact, culture constitutes people's inner world. It is also the abstract representation of many things in the world that makes human culture create human beings, and human beings themselves promote human culture, and the two can be said to complement each other and promote each other. ”

The slight breeze blew gently on the huge square, and under the blowing of this breeze, everyone's sweat gradually evaporated with the breeze. At the same time, many unknown birds became more active under the blowing of the breeze, and they flew from one tree to another with their chirp, and suddenly they seemed to be frightened, and with a snort, they flew from the trees to the vast blue sky, forming a kind of V-shaped queue, flying away into the distance, and disappeared into the vast sky.

Runzhi walked slowly on a country road, this country road happened to be around this square, and on this path you could clearly see these many Taoist priests, waving a wooden sword, and their mouths seemed to be silently chanting something. Under the blowing of the breeze, these Taoist priests are neat and tidy, and they make various movements in unison, as if they are all kinds of moves in Chinese martial arts.

Haozi saw such a scene, so he said with great emotion:

Like many rituals of this Taoist family, in fact, there have been countless such things in history, but with the passage of time, many things have disappeared in the vast historical space, and people can hardly stop to ask the essence of this existence, so they can only follow the pace of time, almost not stop to ask their inner time. Human beings are in such a hurry, so every year is similar, every year is different, under the washing of time, all history is just a cloud of the past, no matter how important things are, but it is just that momentary cheer. The reason why Taoism, Confucianism, Legalism, and Mohism can be passed down in human history is actually because they have indeed made great contributions to mankind, and their contributions are mainly to human culture."
