In ancient times, the objects of folk worship were divided into gods, human ghosts, and earthly gods. Later, Confucianism absorbed the folk gods and formed a hierarchical system like the human bureaucratic system. The rank and title of each god were generally prescribed by the Confucian scholars and enshrined in the national rituals.

Plainly, they enjoy a sacrifice according to the regulations, just like the fiefs and euphems of the princes; During the big sacrifice, it is enjoyed according to the grade and enshrined on the Temple of Heaven.

Those that are not included in the ritual are called "obscenity". "With the worship of the emperor, God, Sheji, sleeping temples, mountains and forests, and famous rivers."

And the objects of sacrifice are, of course, also hierarchical.

Shi Youliang roughly talked about sacrifice, which is basically his own definition of sacrifice.

then recommended some books to Chen Ya and told Chen Ya: "You are very talented, to be honest, I admire you a little." ”

Chen Ya smiled happily, in addition to laughing, she didn't know what else she could say, what should she say.

Because she was very happy to chat with Shi You, but Shi Youliang talked about things too widely, and she spoke too fast, she wanted to remember a lot of things, but when she was thinking, Shi Youliang had already skipped a lot.

Come back to your senses, calm down again and listen carefully, and then think once in a while. And so on, some of the things that Shi Youliang told her did not fully understand, some he did not remember, and some that he did not hear at all.

Chen Ya wanted to ask, but before she asked, Shi Youliang took the first step to speak: "These things, you find time to go to museums and other places by yourself, and the things you see are easier to remember." And if I had to talk about it, I wouldn't understand a lot of things. At the end of the day, that's not what I'm good at. I'm just telling you what I've seen, and in fact, there's a lot more I don't understand. ”

This is Shi Shi's excellent character, he reads books, rarely goes back to dwell on what is on the book, he will only look down, because he believes that as long as he does not stop reading, all doubts must be found in the book.

In fact, most of the things in the book that made him wonder were answered from the book.

Those who haven't found the answer yet, Shi Youliang doesn't know that there is no answer in the book, maybe they just haven't seen the book yet. Shi Hao said to himself, and then continued to read.

As the amount of books read continues to increase, doubts are solved and new doubts come out. And new doubts will also be found in the book, this is the world of Shi You.

Shi Youliang said to Chen Ya: "I don't like things that are too simple, and I don't like things that are too complicated. I think that when something that should be complex is simple, it becomes empty and boring, and when something that should be simple is complex, it becomes very troublesome. And if the things that are originally complex are complicated, there is no point in hard work, and if the things that should be simple are simple, life has no meaning.

So, I'm a strange person. Will do simple things complicated, complex time concise. I won't do anything that's troublesome, and I won't take anything that is at my fingertips. ”

Chen Ya smiled: "Aren't all people like this?" ”

Shi Youliang said: "People are very greedy. ”

"Well, people are very greedy. However, even if you are very greedy, there will be times when you want to give up your favorite things. So, people are very greedy, but not so greedy. Right.

Shi Liang didn't answer, because he didn't know the answer to this question, for Shi Liang, as long as he didn't know the answer in his heart, anyway, as long as he continued to read, he would definitely find the answer in a certain book.

Maybe that answer is terrible, but that's okay, because there are always a lot of bad things in life.

For example, Shi Youliang is the first person she has met who can talk about this topic unscrupulously, but Shi Youliang is not her hobby, and chatting with Shi Youliang is clearly her own area of expertise, but Chen Ya always feels powerless.

"It's terrible." Every time after chatting with Shi You, Chen Ya will think like this:

"It was terrible, I should have played better, I should have talked about that instead of this, I should have talked to him about that thing instead of this thing."

Chen Ya always thinks so. Even though she was happy then, and still is happy now, she always thinks, "If we talk about that, we will talk about it for a longer time, and if we talk about that, it will be more romantic." ”

How sinister is the human heart? It's like when you hear, 'This song should only be heard a few times in heaven and on earth.'" You think there is no better praise than it, but do you also know that in the beginning, the person who wrote this quatrain for the ages used it to curse people.

Moreover, it is a person who only knows how to comment on the country, and wrote to curse a great general with great military achievements.

Yes, you don't know, a lot of people don't. Because we all like preconceived visions of beauty, even if there are maggots and rotting corpses hidden underneath this beauty.

Who cares, what the eyes can't see, what the eyes have automatically ignored. And why is there any need to dig it out?

Dirty and rancid things are meant to be buried underground.

But is it really supposed to be buried underground? Chen Ya is not very sure that most things in this world are not something that should be explained clearly in one sentence, and most things with deeper meaning should be thought about in a more precise and clear way.

Chen Ya thinks so, we can't decide a thing with a sentence of 'it should be so'. Because it's not up to anyone to say what's right or wrong. No one has the final say, whether that person is a scientist or someone else.

If anyone can say right or wrong about a thing, it's probably the one who has been hurt the most. Because he has been hurt the most, he must have the most say.

She said it was wrong, and she must have been wrong. Because he has received harm, he has the right to say so. If he says he is right, who else can deny him? He was hurt the most, and he felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and who had any right to say that it was wrong.

In short: "The right and wrong of this matter cannot be explained in a few words; And there is little point in dwelling on right and wrong. ”

It boils down to this: if he's not hurt, he's not having a voice. If he is hurt, he should not have a voice. If he was just a passer-by, why should he have a say?

Chen Ya has always felt that philosophy and folklore are inseparable. Folklore is the daily life of a nation, and philosophy is born from the most ordinary life.

If Gongsun Long did not meet the soldiers defending the city, there would be no white horses and non-horses, and in that era, it was more common to meet the soldiers defending the city than to eat and sleep.

But why didn't Gongsun Long propose a white horse or a horse yesterday, nor would he propose a white horse or a horse tomorrow. Second, what about today? Because today's conditions are just met.

Therefore, the birth and development of philosophy requires conditions.

In the argument that the white horse is not a horse, the white horse is the particularity, the horse is the universality, and to say that the white horse is not a horse is obviously to ignore the universality of the contradiction.

The universality of contradictions is that contradictions exist in all things, in the whole process of the development of all things, the old contradictions are solved, and new contradictions arise. Things are always in motion in contradiction. Contradictions are universal, but the contradictions of different things are specific and special.

The particularity of contradiction refers to the contradiction of concrete things in their movement and the characteristics of each contradiction. Specifically, it is manifested in three situations:

First, the contradictions of different things have their own characteristics;

Second, the contradictions of the same thing have different characteristics in different development processes and stages of development;

Third, the many contradictions that make up things and the different aspects of each contradiction have different natures, statuses, and functions.

And these things are applied to our daily life and become a part of folklore. Therefore, folklore and philosophy are two sides of a mirror of social life, although they exclude each other, they attract each other, and although they denigrate each other, neither of them can do without the other.

Philosophy originates from life and is higher than life, how high is this?

In fact, it is not very high, that is, to summarize the things in life and look at it from the two sides of yin and yang.

This is what Shi Youyou said, and Chen Ya didn't know whether to agree or oppose. But there is one point, for folklore and philosophy are born of the same mother, and these two people have the same opinion.

Chen Ya once heard a passage like this:

"I'm a pastry chef; There is a new girl under the age of 21 at the front desk, who is married and has two children. For me, who has been crawling around in society since graduating from high school, this kind of thing is no longer strange, and I don't even bother to show my surprised expression.

But I showed it anyway, because this girl did not look like she was in her twenties at all, and I believed her when she was fifty; The reason is that on the first day of work, she actually told me about her family affairs: "The marriage is not satisfactory, my husband does not care about the family, does not give her money to spend, and does not know how to do housework and take care of the children after work; As a last resort, I can only leave my children to my parents to work to support the family. ”

This kind of short thing in the family, tell me an unmarried person! I'm sorry, I don't feel it, I don't have any sympathy, only one sentence: "Since it's okay to divorce like this." "Give it to her.

Her answer was expected. For the sake of the child, it must be done!

I suddenly wondered which idiot initiated this idea. The words 'for the sake of the children' should be a step for couples who support each other, not an excuse for sharing a bed and dreaming differently. It is important to know that most children do not need their parents to do this for them.

A problematic family is inferior to a single parent. This is my point of view, how can it be possible to develop a sound personality when watching parents speak coldly, shout at every turn, or even smash bowls and pots.

Divorced and reorganized family, if you are wronged, you can still think, 'I am not biological.' As for the family that is about to settle, I can only think that 'marriage is just like this'! You might even think, 'It's better not to have a home like this.'" ’
