It was quite cold on the night of the 17th, and Ye Hua received a personal call when he was about to leave for Yong Town tomorrow morning.

It was a call from the president of Kyoto University himself, and the content was to invite Ye Hua to attend a lecture event at Kyoto University, and it was a lecture event.

This news was very surprising to Ye Hua, although many universities and colleges in China had sent invitations to him, but this call was very different.

"No problem, I'll fly to the capital early tomorrow morning."

On the balcony of a guest room in the hotel, Ye Hua gave an affirmative reply and hung up the phone, staring at the thick frost on the railing and thinking deeply, he couldn't help but reach out and touch it with his palm...

Feel...... It's cold and biting!

Immediately, he couldn't help but inhale a cold breath that made him tremble, and he couldn't help muttering: "Freezing to death, Nima, it's better to go back to the bedroom comfortably." ”

Back in the room, Ye Hua made a call to go back.

"You're going to the capital tomorrow?"

Qiao Wei's voice was on the phone, and soon her resentful voice came from the question: "Then the follow-up arrangements are all disrupted, won't you refuse politely?" Or have you become addicted to pretending to be a speaker in recent days? ”

Ye Hua sighed: "Tomorrow's trip is very, very important dear, it can be said that it determines the prosperity and decline of the coastline group, it is a real turning point, this trip is more critical than all the previous ones, maybe it can only be compared with the day this company was founded." ”

Qiao Wei: "I don't understand what you're talking about, the company's development is going well, you shouldn't be bothered by talent problems, right?" If you're hungry, you're crazy, right? That's too much of a fuss. ”

Ye Hua: "You are a very good baby, but if you want to go further, you must know the truth of improvisation, forget it, realize it yourself, you have worked hard these days, go back and love you well, hang up." ”

……

I was supposed to go home early the next morning, but Ye Hua's special plane set off early and flew to the north, and this trip had to go.

He decided to be invited on the phone because the president of Kyoto University personally called him.

How did he know this private phone number?

Someone must have told him, Ye Hua had already guessed it when he was on the phone.

……

Morning, Kyoto University.

At the event site, there were more than 2,000 people in the spacious indoor hall.

I saw Ye Hua come to the stage in the warm applause of the audience, the stage layout is very simple, a catwalk, two seats, a bottle of water, a host and a guest is Ye Hua.

As soon as the opening process passed, Ye Hua picked up the microphone and looked at the scene and said with a smile: "When I just communicated with the host in private, I learned that most of the students who came to the scene today are not science and engineering men, and it is very distressing to exchange something. ”

I Ching?

The Kyoto university students present were suddenly curious, and they all said that they would see you for a long time, you are a technology boss, how can you have anything to do with things like I Ching gossip?

Ye Hua suddenly smiled and said:

"I have a bottom when I see the surprised eyes of everyone here, everyone seems to be very interested in this, and if they are interested, they will not sleep."

"I think as soon as they hear the Book of Changes, most people immediately think of divination and fortune telling...... I don't know how many people have read the I Ching, please raise your hand if you have read it. ”

A third of the people at the scene immediately raised their hands.

Ye Hua: "Students who think they understand the Book of Changes, please raise your hand and ......"

Few and far between.

After taking a sip of water, Ye Hua officially stepped into the rhythm and said:

"The Book of Changes, sprinkled with only 4,000 words, is jerky and difficult to understand, but I suggest that you must read it, not only to read, but also to draw hexagrams."

"To say the Book of Changes, we have to start from the ancient Fuxi 7,000 years ago, Fuxi opened the sky as soon as he painted it, so it is called Fuxi gossip, in fact, the gossip is only the cardinal number, but sixty-four hexagrams, just make a mathematical table, eight eight sixty-four hexagrams."

"If you read the Book of Changes and draw hexagrams to understand it, you will find that our words and square characters were originally evolved from gossip graphics, which is not made up by me, but has a factual basis."

"The Book of Changes is the oldest classic in our country, and it is the "first of the group classics" and "the beginning of the group classics" or the "cultural source" of our nation.

"The Book of Changes is not written by Fuxi alone, but has been created collectively since the ancient Fuxi era 7,000 years ago, and has gone through Fuxi's painting hexagrams, King Wen of Zhou's repeated hexagrams, Zhou Gong's dictionaries, and later Confucius's revision into scriptures, which is the "Book of Changes" we see now."

"The Book of Changes talks about thousands of words, but it is all-encompassing, and it has been integrated into the political, economic, cultural, life, customs and other fields of our Chinese nation for thousands of years."

"Now more and more scientists at home and abroad are advocating the Book of Changes, and before that, there have been several Nobel Prize-winning scientists who have read the Book of Changes."

"Before getting into the main topic, I have to repeatedly emphasize that the Book of Changes is not a superstitious book that can only be used for divination and fortune-telling in people's stereotypes, it is actually all-encompassing, "I Ching" is "Tao" and divination is "art", in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, at that time, "Tao" was not marketed, and the major vassal states were obsessed with "art", such as the art of vertical and horizontal."

"When Qin Shi Huang burned ancient books, the Book of Changes was treated as a nonsense and useless divination book and escaped, I really feel lucky."

"Now I ask you, what ancient scriptures do foreigners currently admire in our China? Maybe everyone will think of "The Art of War" at the first time, after all, what West Point Military Academy included "The Art of War" as a compulsory course, and some business schools in the West also have to take "The Art of War", and even some American dramas have a clear picture of "The Art of War", and you may have heard Napoleon sigh when he saw "The Art of War" for the first time, if he had seen this masterpiece earlier, it would not have been so miserable. ”

"The Art of War" is of course very well-known in the world, but it has been exaggerated by the media, and today I will debunk this rumor for you, no, but "I Ching", which contains the essence of "The Art of War".

"Now those foreigners' so-called experts on Chinese issues, as long as they can't understand the "Book of Changes", they will never be able to truly understand us Chinese people, and if they want to fundamentally see through us, it is enough to understand a 4,000-word "Book of Changes."

"Then many people are worried, if the Book of Changes is the genetic code of the Chinese nation, wouldn't foreigners really study us thoroughly? Isn't that big bad news? Gotta ban it! ”

I think this kind of worry is superfluous, the biggest feature of the Book of Changes is inclusiveness, it is all-encompassing, all-inclusive, nothing to be afraid of, there is a sentence to say? The best way to destroy your enemy is to turn him into your man. ”

"When a foreigner understands the Book of Changes, he becomes a Chinese, don't believe you to see those foreigners who really understand us, all of them are obsessed with studying our classical culture, plunging headlong into more than ten years or even a lifetime, falling into this pit and never going up again, and he himself is not very willing to come up, the more he studied, the more he felt intoxicated and happy."

"Some Westerners who have obtained Chinese nationality are still "Huapi Xigu", some foreign scholars who have read the "Book of Changes" have become "Xipi Huagu", and some Westerners who have understood the "Book of Changes" and obtained Chinese nationality have been reborn, and their skin and bones are all Chinese."

"Many people wonder why China was invaded by foreign races in ancient times, and it was "sinicized" not long after entering the Central Plains?

"This doubt, you know that this is the inevitable result when you read the Book of Changes."

"Westerners are black and white, very rigid, while we are black can be white, white can be black, black is white, white is black, black and white can be transformed into each other, can also be reversed from each other, not rigid at all, very flexible, very flexible."

"We all say that great loyalty is like treachery, and great hypocrisy is like truth. Don't look at these literal meanings, the facial features often deceive people, especially the eyes, you have to look at the truth behind the literal, the truth is always behind the back. ”

The reason behind it is that our thinking is relative, which is why such an idiom appears. Great loyalty is like treachery, great hypocrisy is like truth, is it positive or derogatory? Sometimes it's a compliment, sometimes it's not. ”

"And Western thinking is absolutism."

"One is rigid, the other is flexible."

"So Westerners are actually very conflicted in the face of the Book of Changes, they are afraid that after they fall into this pit, their values will be completely collapsed and then reshaped.

"We Chinese people are up now, and it has come time for Westerners to have to study us in depth, but if you study you, you are afraid that the three views will be broken, and you can't do it if you don't study it, this won't work, that's not good, it's over!"

"So they're struggling now, on the one hand, they want to really understand our genes to find a way to deal with it, and on the other hand, they're afraid of being sinicized by you."

Ye Hua was relaxed and humorous, and the college students at the scene couldn't help but laugh, it was really like that, a little inflated.
