Chapter 417: Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang
Xiao Tianshu said: "Since the congenital Yiqi is the divine qi, and it is the congenital Yiqi brought from the mother's womb, where does the innate Yiqi of the mother's womb come from?" ”
Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "This matter has to start with the Xuanhuang of Heaven and Earth......"
Xiao Tianshu said: "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, the next sentence of "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang" is "Universe Flood Wilderness", which is also the first sentence of the thousand-character text. The "Thousand Character Text" is the earliest and most widely circulated enlightenment book in China, and it is a very famous traditional culture. But what does this have to do with the innate Yiqi? “
Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Heaven and earth are yellow, the universe is desolate", the sky is blue-black or black and blue, which is always a very dark color, and the earth is yellow, dark yellow, apricot yellow, etc., in short, yellow; The next meaning is that the universe was formed in a state of chaos or obscurantism or desolation. Coming down, the extended meaning is: the sun is right and oblique, the moon is round and absent, and the stars are full of boundless space. These illustrate the origin of the earthly universe and the movement of the sun, moon and stars. At the same time, it is also bold to say that human beings were the first to understand the state of the earth and its ideological views. In fact, here "universe" refers to space, and "universe" refers to time, and the two together are the concept of time and space; "Xuan" means black, and is used here to denote the deep blue or dark blue color of the sky; "Yellow" refers to the Yellow River Basin, the birthplace of the Chinese nation, because the soil here is yellow. In fact, it is not easy to understand the words "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang". You must know that the phrase "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang" comes from the "Book of Changes", as long as you understand the Book of Changes, you can truly understand the true meaning of "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang". ”
Xiao Tianshu said: "In the Book of Changes, what do you say? ”
Lu Dongbin said: "In the Book of Changes, it is said that "Tianxuan Dihuang", although Tianxuan refers to the color, it refers to the color of dark blue and almost black. But in meaning, it may also refer to lofty, unfathomable, etc. As we all know, the color of the sky that we can see when we lift the sky is blue, how did the ancients say that it was black, isn't this nonsense? ”
Xiao Tianshu said: "Actually, a few years ago, when our astronauts went to space, they realized that the sky was really dark, and only a few stars emitted a little light, so the ancients said that "Tianxuan" was right. The blue we see is actually the color of the sunlight reflecting off the surface of the ocean. Therefore, the way of heaven is lofty, mysterious, and unfathomable, and it is difficult to understand with the wisdom of ordinary people. Therefore, the way of heaven is unfathomable, and it is also called "Tianxuan". Right? ”
Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Then, when it comes to "Rehmannia", there are also some mysterious meanings: traditional culture can be traced back to the culture before the pre-Qin period, such as the ancient period, the culture of the three generations of "Xia, Shang and Zhou". According to research and data, the three dynasties of "Xia, Shang and Zhou" were all established and built in the Yellow River Basin, and those traditional cultures can be narrowed within this scope, so our earliest traditional culture should be the culture of the "Yellow River Basin". As we all know, the Yellow River is our "mother river", she starts from the Kunlun Mountain, and then gathers in the sea of stars, through the rocky mountain and other places, through nine bends and eighteen bends, before slowly flowing down from the northwest plateau, and at the same time bring down a large amount of loess, and slowly form the impact of the North China Plain. Then, in this series of processes that flow, the color of the water is yellow, the color of the soil is also yellow, and the crops grown in the place where it flows are also yellow, such as millet and millet, so it is called "rehmannia". ”
Xiao Tianshu said: "Master Zu, I understand this congenital Yiqi, what is the situation, speaking of these, let's briefly talk about the "Five Lun of Life" and "Three Outlines and Five Constants", right? ”
Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Life Wulun, life Wulun, refers to father and son, brothers, husband and wife, monarchs and ministers, and friends, and its meaning is to say: father and son have relatives, the elders and young are orderly, the husband and wife are different, the monarch and the minister are righteous, and the friends have faith." ”
Xiao Tianshu said: "It is ...... father and son to have relatives"
Lu Dongbin said: "The so-called "father and son have relatives" means that the father should be loving and caring when educating his children, and the children should be filial and considerate when serving their parents. ”
Xiao Tianshu said: "What about the young and the old? ”
Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "The so-called "young and old" are orderly, the elder is the elder brother, and the younger brother is the younger brother, which means that the elder brother should love the younger brother, and the younger brother should respect the elder brother, so that the elder brother will forgive the younger brother, and the elder brother should always think of the younger brother and care for the younger brother; And the younger brother has been taken care of by his elder brother since he was a child, and this kindness cannot be forgotten, so that he will be harmonious, so that he will grow up and be orderly. Brothers should understand brotherhood and live in harmony. ”
Xiao Tianshu said: "There is a difference between husband and wife, although I am not married yet, but I will have to experience it in the future, hehe......"
Lu Dongbin said: "The so-called "husband and wife are different" refers to the difference in family responsibilities, and also refers to the husband to treat his wife to fulfill his responsibilities, and the wife and husband are gentle; In short, the husband has the responsibility to provide for the family, and the wife has the responsibility to manage all the affairs of the family. As a result, the husband sings with the wife, and the husband and wife naturally have affection. ”
Xiao Tianshu said: "Are the monarchs and ministers righteous? ”
Lu Dongbin said: "The so-called "monarch and minister are righteous", that is, "the monarch is benevolent and the minister is loyal". The monarch envoys are courteous, and the ministers serve the monarch with loyalty. Junren is always for the sake of his subordinates; "Loyalty", loyalty to superiors, loyalty to his duties and duties, called loyalty. Then, the monarch is righteous, the minister is loyal, and naturally the monarch and the minister are righteous. Therefore, the relationship between the monarch and the minister is the way, and benevolence and loyalty are virtues. ”
Xiao Tianshu said: "What if a friend has a letter? Many martial arts say that you can stick a knife in both ribs for your friends, is this idea right?
Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "The so-called "friends have trust" means that friends should have faith and pay attention to creditworthiness in their interactions. Regardless of whether you are rich or poor, you should treat everyone equally, and deal with them with morality. But when dealing with unkind and unrighteous people, why should they be treated with kindness and righteousness? ”
Xiao Tianshu agreed: "A friend is not reckless, it depends on the situation, he is unkind and unjust, why do we say too well to his benevolent and righteous ancestors!" Hehe......"
Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "In short, if people follow the five Lun, it will be auspicious from the sky." Speaking of the five virtues of life, the three outlines and the five constants ......"
Xiao Tianshu interrupted: "That's right, what is the situation of the Three Platforms and Five Constants explained by Master Zu?" ”
Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "The so-called" three outlines", that is: "The three outlines, the king is the minister, the father is the son, and the husband is the wife" was put forward by Zhu Xi, a university scholar. That is, there is a predetermined and eternal master-slave relationship between ministers, fathers and sons, and husbands and wives: the monarch is the master, and the minister is the subordinate; The Father is the Master, and the Son is the Servant; The husband is the master, and the wife is the subordinate. The so-called "five constants": "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith". ”
