Chapter 320: The Meaning of Labor
The scenery of the island is like that, and the beauty makes many people enjoy this endless beautiful scenery on this road, because there is a lake, the wind is often exceptionally fresh and ethereal, just like the endless white mist in the valley is always difficult to drift away, and it seems that there is a unique, incomparably separated beauty.
After listening to Runzhi's story, Haozi naturally had a better understanding of this life, and only heard Haozi say:
"Sometimes a lot of things are a kind of clarity in confusion. Many times, we tend to get stuck in a predicament without realizing that the so-called authorities are confused, and bystanders are clear. In fact, there are many affairs that people in them are not aware of, but those who are outside of them can understand them clearly. This is because many things themselves are intriguing, a very complex process, often relying on only one person is difficult to know its full-time, so it is necessary to rely on the power of the people, as the so-called people pick up the flame of high, this is the truth. People tend to pay too much attention to some things in the present and ignore the overall situation, and often see the present and ignore the future, which is a question worth thinking about. Many times people are not always wise, people often like to use emotions to look at problems with emotions, so those things that can stimulate people's emotions and move people's hearts can often win people's attention and attention, and the truth often does not work when it is used, because the truth itself is a kind of rules and rules, in fact, it is a contract between people, and this contract is actually based on a kind of defense against others, so this is a kind of distrust in itself. In this case of distrust, the emotional factor is minimized so that people can remain as sane as possible. In the ancient "Tao Te Ching", there is a similar description, the original text of the "Tao Te Ching" is "Tao gives birth to one, one life to two, two to three, three to all things, and said that heaven and earth cannot, with all things as lackeys,"
On the surface of this crystal clear lake, many ripples sparkle in the sun, and many fish of all kinds play and play in it, as if they are enjoying this incomparably beautiful natural scenery.
The vast blue sky flies over a flock of V-shaped geese, which make a very crisp and pleasant call that can be heard clearly from several kilometers away.
On the top of the mountain not far away, the huge rough stone takes on various forms, some like birds and animals, and some are. Like a hunter, one moment a white horse. The primitive colors and forms are different, and it seems to have a very mysterious feeling. On one side of the great cliff are a large number of renovated, very elaborate pavilions, all built on top of this huge peak, one every few miles, so that it is often possible to rest for a while in a very delicate stop every once in a while, and then continue towards this peak.
This Taishan Island as a tributary of the Yangtze River, it is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Huai River, is the most core section of the whole Yangtze River, since ancient times, this Taishan Island, has carried countless water conservancy roles, every summer when the flood occurs frequently, the flood floods thousands of kilometers, many people are ruined, especially the flood bursts, it is very tragic.
Since the official construction of Taishan Lake, there are few large-scale floods within hundreds of kilometers around it, because the lake water is very huge, often in the summer can continue to flow, and in winter and even autumn, the climate is very arid, the water flow can be extracted, used to moisten the arid earth, for many crops to provide dry season rain.
When the Taishan Lake was built, Song Taizu of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin personally led 300,000 soldiers to inspect the surrounding area of the lake, because he saw many farmlands around it, but it fell into barrenness. So he asked the people around him what was the reason for this, and the officials around him told him that although this was a plain, and the land was abundant and very fertile, because of the frequent floods in the summer, even the grain planted was often difficult to harvest, so the people simply abandoned all these places, and thus caused the fertile land of the plain for thousands of miles to fall into a barren.
In this crystal clear lake, there is a huge beach on one side, and many children are playing freely on this beach, which is also very lively.
Runzhi looked at the whole island from the highest point of the island, and saw that many buildings were like ant nests, generally flat and neat, but also very small, the people on the beach and the people who were cultivating on the other plains looked like ants wriggling for a while, and he suddenly felt that when human beings were so insignificant in front of this nature, they were so small.
Cheng Hanyun suddenly discovered that there was a very huge cave on this island. It turns out that these caves were inhabitable in ancient times, and these are the original dwellings of the aborigines of the island. There are many bones and shells in this cave, and naturally there are a lot of bats in this cave, and it is precisely because of this that Runzhi does not let people enter.
Under this cave is a trail, these paths were originally no, originally here are a large area of mountain forest, one by one bushes of bushes, here is very lush growth, later people because of the scenery here attracted, so they came here to visit and play, when can you walk here more roads, many shrubs here have gradually disappeared, have become a road.
Cheng Hanyun looked at these roads, and then said:
"In fact, from the perspective of human origins, the history of mankind is a history of continuous conquest, just like the shrubs that were originally big insects and big insects here, but because people have been walking here for a long time, slowly there are artificial roads here, in fact, there is no similar war or other major events in this world at the beginning, but because of the gradual increase of human beings, human beings began to have a large number of contradictions with human beings themselves and human beings began to have a large number of contradictions. The only way to resolve this contradiction is to be able to invent more powerful tools, so as to effectively increase the quantity of food and all kinds of materials that people need, and to distribute it more effectively to all those who need it, and at the same time human beings can be more free and more able to meet their own needs, which are no longer only based on the need for the satisfaction of low-level eating, drinking, and some desires, but should also be a need for free and all-round development. This need has been detached, the most shallow, unconscious, instinctive need to reach a social, transcendent need of the night. And this need is slowly transformed from his original face to consumption, but wherever there is a need, there must also be consumption. However, in the past dynasties, the word consumption has appeared very rarely, because in the ancient slave society of mankind has developed into a feudal society, in fact, human beings have long adapted to the self-sufficient small peasant economy. Therefore, people's food, clothing, shelter and transportation can be satisfied with their own hands. It was not until later that with the continuous development of the economy, people began to continuously improve the division of labor in society, so that different people could engage in different jobs according to their strengths. Based on this, the overall efficiency of human beings reaches the maximum, people can have more material to meet the needs of all aspects of the self, and at the same time, people no longer give the needs of low-level instinctive satisfaction, but also can pursue more high-level self-realization needs, for example, whether they can create, can carry out high-intellectual activities, can go through the moral perfection of the self and the establishment of virtue, so that the self falls into a situation of perfect development from the moral level, from the material level, and all aspects.

The breeze continues to blow on the surface of the lake, and the ripples on the surface of the lake ripple from the center of the lake to the shore along the pavilion in the middle of the lake, which is also very beautiful and moving.
Can you have a special preference on this island, always like to hang a string of curtains made of crystal and wind chimes made of Lantian jade in the most conspicuous position of your residence?
Gusts of breeze gently blow these wind chimes, under the blowing of the breeze, collide with each other, making a tinkling sound, but it is also very pleasant to the ear, although the dead people have a little trouble in their hearts, but in the very pleasant sound of the wind chimes, you can also get a little dilution.
Above the mountains are large expanses of white clouds, which are like a hat on top of these mountains, making these verdant forests even more full of a mysterious beauty.
This is a very rich and fertile land, the land is full of mountains and rivers on both sides of the mountains, large plains are very suitable for growing rice, because the soil is very fertile, so in some places where the water conservancy is very sufficient, rice can often be planted three times a year.
Cheng Hanyun paused, and then continued:
"Sometimes what is promised is unexpected by people, because people often cannot predict the future development of events, and many of the developments of events are originally beyond their expectations, and when people's expectations cannot be fulfilled in time, people's desires and instincts will achieve a deformed development at this time, which may cause people's hearts to begin to corrode, and spiritually to begin to degenerate. In fact, the satisfaction of human needs also needs to be achieved through labor, that is, practice. Human beings work for themselves, but also for all people. Of course, when he labored, all the people worked for him. Therefore, the happiest thing in the world should be labor, whether it is spiritual labor or physical labor, it is the happiest, and the happiest thing should be struggle. Compared with labor, struggle has a higher attribute, struggle is not only for his own interests, but also for the collective and even for the society, for the nation, for the country. In contrast to labor, struggle will be directed directly at the many people in the entire ethnic group, and will no longer be directed at the interests of one individual. Struggle frees a person from his own inherent interests, so that people are no longer for their own interests, but for others, for the collective, for the interests of society to work hard, that is, struggle. ”
On the surface of the quiet lake, all kinds of big fish spit bubbles on the surface of the water, and many bubbles appear on the surface of the water, and under the sparkling water surface is a vibrant underwater world.
On the cliff came out of the countless very strange boulders, as well as a large number of unknown flowers and plants, these flowers and plants grow in the most barren place of the cliff, is the strongest vitality in the whole mountain, the most tenacious plants.
At the bottom of the cliff are the lilies of the big insects and insects, and the lilies are all blood-like white with a faint fragrance, so that people who are far away can smell this incomparably rich fragrance.
Naturally this is a magical land, on this flat land, there are many ancient willow trees, these willows are in the Sui Dynasty, because. The real Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian decided to plant this very graceful willow tree next to many roads, and most of these willow trees have a lifespan of more than 1,000 years because of the excellent source of the variety. Later, after Emperor Yang of Sui succeeded to the throne, these willows were further expanded, not only on the main roads of the capital but also in the major cities in the south, and began to plant many graceful postures and fine varieties of willows on both sides of the roads.
On the crystal paved floor, everyone enjoyed the various performances of singing and dancing that had been prepared, but they were also happy and full of interest.
A slight breeze blows the crystal clear surface of the lake, surrounded by large expanses of mountains. These mountains surround this Taishan Lake,
Runzhi looked at the crystal clear lake in the distance, and said:
"In fact, many things are beyond our imagination, and this is because when people are in a very peaceful state of life. People tend to forget many important things in the current life situation, because people have a tendency to enjoy and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. When people often find that they have the material and spiritual conditions for pleasure, it is inevitable that they will fall into the existing enjoyment and ignore some more important things. Sometimes when people pursue certain interests, they naturally have to make certain sacrifices, because when people are pursuing a certain goal, they must give something to gain, whether it is self-practical or other promising contributions, such as paying a lot of labor, or paying a lot of labor in the future. In fact, it is only in the process of labor that you can enjoy it the most. Because a person's value can only be experienced in labor, which can be abstract labor or concrete labor, high-value labor, low-value labor, full-day labor, or part-time labor. In many cases, when people are seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, they are more rational competitions at this time, so the interests make people more sober. But once caught in the enjoyment, people tend to fall into a kind of irrationality, and even think that emotions dictate, at this time in fact, a person has no interests, and its interests are just to let themselves get material or spiritual enjoyment, this kind of enjoyment itself is not worth advocating, because it is contrary to labor, can only be regarded as a gap in labor, but it is a conflict with labor as a whole. ”
