As the saying goes, "three religions and nine streams" and "eight rivers and lakes", so which "eight rivers and lakes" refer to?

The theory of the eight rivers and lakes originates from the eight gates of the rivers and lakes, and the "eight gates" refer to the eight categories of livelihood in the rivers and lakes society. What are the "eight gates of rivers and lakes"? They are divided into eight gates: shock, fatigue, floating, book, wind, fire, jue, and to.

In the past, the Jianghu technique was divided into eight gates: shock, fatigue, drifting, book, wind, fire, jue, and demand, including various means of going to the rivers and lakes to eat together. But the real eight gates of the rivers and lakes are not only these, but the way of everything in this world.

Three mountains and five mountains, five lakes and four seas, up to the temple, down to the market, all called rivers and lakes; It is said that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and all the techniques of doing things in the world can be called rivers and lakes. However, since the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the so-called Jianghu has been reduced to a small means for wandering artists to cheat their mouths, which is a narrow sense of the rivers and lakes, and the eight gates of the rivers and lakes that people talk about in the world have been completely narrow.

Let's take it apart!

Surprise:

It is the head of the eight gates of the rivers and lakes, mainly to study the good fortune and evil, and to guide people. So nowadays, those who look at fortune tellers are all people in the rivers and lakes in the shocking door. The ancestor of the door is Fuxi and King Wen of Zhou, legend has it that Fuxi painted gossip and King Wen played Zhou Yi, and the warlocks of the rivers and lakes often worshiped another ancestor is Dongfang Shuo of the Han Dynasty, it is said that Dongfang Shuo once set up a stall in Chang'an City for divination. If there is a classic in the door of shock, it is the Book of Changes.

It is not unreasonable for the Eight Gates of the Jianghu to be led by the Shocking Gate, because it studies the changes in the Heavenly Dao. Once you are proficient in the shocking door, the remaining seven Jianghu techniques can be touched, and the deduction of auspicious and evil fortunes and changes in the world is the core of the world. Modern fortune tellers may not have this ability, but it is still a basic skill to see people's eyesight, and the world's Jianghu art is to watch people cook.

Exhaustion:

What we pay attention to is the way to practice medicine to help the world. The practice of medicine here not only includes the traveling doctors of the rivers and lakes, but also includes the sitting doctors, and even the ancient witch blessings, etc., as long as they use various methods to treat people, they are all exhausted. There are two ancestors worshiped by people in the tired door, the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing and the medicine king Sun Simiao. But now when it comes to tired rivers and lakes, most of the people who refer to you Fanglangzhong.

The tired gate is second only to the startling door and is located in the second of the eight gates of the rivers and lakes, and its status is also very important, because it studies people's own knowledge. Strictly speaking, the ancestors of the tired door are the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan and the Yan Emperor Shennong, they are also the ancestors of the legendary Chinese nation, and the classics of the tired door are of course the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" and "Shennong's Materia Medica".

Float Door:

What we pay attention to is the way of traveling. The ancestor of Piaomen is a Confucian sage, which is probably unthinkable to many people. And to this day, the jugglers, stage-performers, and even fireworks prostitutes all claim to be people in the floating door.

Booklet:

What we pay attention to is the study of the present and the ancient. The ancestor of the book is Sima Qian. To this day, those who sell real and fake antiques, those who pour out the pictures of the Spring Palace, and those who deal in calligraphy and painting all claim to be people in the book, and even those who rob tombs.

Damper:

The study is the geography of the world, mountains and rivers. The ancestor of the wind gate is said to be Guo Pu, so today's Mr. Feng Shui and Yin and Yang Mansion Master are all from the wind gate.

Fire Gate:

It is a variety of health preservation techniques. The ancestor of Huomen is Ge Hong Ge Tianshi, and the classics include "Hug Puzi", "Participate in the same deed" and so on. Then alchemy, alchemy, and the art in the room are all tricks of the people of Huomen Jianghu.

Juemen:

What is important is the way of being an official. Legend has it that the ancestor of Juemen is Mr. Guigu, the classics are "Guiguzi" and "Warring States Policy", Mr. Guigu has two very famous disciples Su Qin and Zhang Yi, and the traditional Juemen is actually talking about vertical and horizontal techniques. Since modern times, the tricks of buying and selling officials, including fraud in the name of official institutions, etc., can also be regarded as the charlatans of the Juemen.

Key Doors:

It's about the way of downfall. This is a very profound science, how to deal with yourself and how to overcome misfortune when luck is bad? The ancestor of the important door is said to be Zhu Yuanzhang, and there is also a saying that it is Liu Xia Tuo, which is no longer examinable. In modern times, those who fight lotus flowers and ask for food, those who eat big families and fight the autumn wind, those who pretend to be monks and nuns to deceive people, and even those who take sweat medicine can be regarded as important people.

After listening to Xiaoyu's big call, I figured it out, in fact, it is not difficult to understand what kind of livelihood the people who wandered in the 360 lines of the industry have researched and given themselves a name.

Xiaoyu said that this is the truth.

The eight gates of the rivers and lakes are all-encompassing, and they talk about the means and principles of doing things in the world. And there is nothing good or bad about the Jianghu itself, it is a variety of means, but the good and bad people in the rivers and lakes are uneven. In modern times, almost all of the eight gates of rivers and lakes are tricks of the rivers and lakes, which are classified in the narrow sense of 'walking the rivers and lakes'.

In ancient times, there were two kinds of people in the rivers and lakes: 'li' and 'sharp', also known as 'art' and 'dao'. refers to the means, similar to the business scriptures, figuring out what methods can be used by people's psychology to achieve the goal; Jian refers to the true skill, the real kung fu and the avenue of pursuit. For example, when it comes to practicing medicine, 'li' refers to how to fool people by tricking the void, while 'jian' refers to the real medical Tao cultivation.

Acting in the world, the words "inside" and "sharp" cannot be abandoned, otherwise even if you have real skills, no one may be willing to buy it. As the saying goes, "the tip of the middle, the great, the tip of the middle, the race of immortals", is talking about this truth. However, in modern times, the warlocks and artists who have been walking the rivers and lakes have studied more methods of deception, and most of them have been reduced to the bottom nine. In fact, Jianghu itself is a university question, and if you make good use of this way, it is enough to walk the world. (Note: The above content is reproduced from Baidu Encyclopedia)

Although I am a little scornful of this kind of doorway in my heart, it is undeniable that there is some truth in the saying that existence is reasonable, even if you can disapprove of it, or even oppose it, in today's words, he can indeed make a person have enough to eat.

Xiaoyu turned to continue: "Speaking of the eight gates of the Great Heaven, it is just the side door and the left road, the reason why it will be slowly eliminated in the society is that it can't be put on the stage, and secondly, there are so many famous and decent families, why bother to go wild, and then there are gangs like the 'Hong Gang' and 'Qing Gang' are transforming to do business." The times are developing, the society is progressing, and there is no future for those who eat the same old books! ”

After listening to Xiaoyu, I was happy for a long time, and asked him with a smile: "Where did you hear this thing?" ”

Xiaoyu said: "I'm bored, I bought a stall book to read." ”

Me: "......"

But I'm also thinking that when we make some fame in the rivers and lakes one day, when the momentum grows, we will also pull a few like-minded friends to form a sect, which is called: Nature School!

But Zhang Danfeng listened to it for a long time and thought that we were looking down on him from beginning to end, and his little face was flushed, but he was afraid that I would bully him, so he never dared to say anything, I comforted him and said: "Okay, don't be angry, you are also very powerful, you are the protagonist Hu Bayi level in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". ”

Without waiting for him to reply, I turned to a person and blurted out: "Just now you said that the door is a fortune teller, I also met an old liar, that's it, the speech is good, it seems to be called ~ What Qiu Daozi, I don't know if he is a surprise door!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiaoyu took a sip of water and spit out a mouthful of water, and Zhang Danfeng stared at me fiercely with wide eyes, as if they wanted to swallow me. ”

Xiaoyu stammered and said: "Qiu ~ Qiu Daozi, this person is a person who can spy on the heavens, let alone let him point out, even if you can see each other, how much fairy energy can be stained, brother, it's good to know you!" ”

I glared at him: "Still immortal, aren't you an atheist, still believe in that!" But I really didn't expect that old coffin board to be so powerful, and I have to ask him to help me transfer anything next time we meet. ”

Zhang Danfeng was even more unhappy when he saw that I insulted the fairy-level character in his heart like this, his face was as red as a monkey's buttocks, I couldn't bear to look at it, so he said: "Okay, let's go back, pack up, and get ready to go." ”

Hearing this, his face eased a lot, and I also cared about him: "I don't have the strength, we should still have to walk for a while, if not, find a place to sleep first, slow down your physical strength, it's really not bad for a while, others are not saved, and you can't get into it." ”

Zhang Danfeng shook his head and said softly: "It's okay, in fact, I have prepared for the worst, anyway, I have also committed the taboo of feng shui masters, even if I die in it, there is no pity!" ”

I said, "I don't care if you die or not, but we still want to live, don't you say that to trap the two of us!" ”

Zhang Danfeng said: "I didn't mean that......"

I smiled at him and said, "I can see that you kid is righteous, don't worry, since I promised you, I will never break my word, just to explain it to you, don't get too hopeful!" ”

Zhang Danfeng said 'um' and stopped talking.

In a blink of an eye, we came to the buddy's house, the yard was empty, we saw his wife lying on the bed sleeping through the window, and did not go up to disturb, and the three of them gently packed up their equipment by the side of the car.

I didn't have anything to take, just a pair of gloves, a flashlight and a sapper shovel, and when we were in the store, all three of us wore a pair of masks, afraid that going inside, not to mention the long-term closed air, would affect the body, even if the smoke and dust were inhaled too much in the mouth, it would be unbearable.

And Xiaoyu this kid surprised me a lot, I saw him take out an electronic device about the size of two phones from his pannier, a bit like a tablet, but it looked a lot smaller, just about to put it in his carry-on bag, I asked him and said, "What kind of high-tech is this!" ”

Xiaoyu said: "This is a portable tablet developed by myself, which can be used as a navigator without signal positioning, not affected by magnetic fields, and can even steal maps from spy satellites, as well as some other small functions such as photography and documents." ”

After hearing this, I smiled bitterly and laughed at myself: "It's a shame that I'm going this way, and I'm still carefully remembering this and that, with your thing, why do you use that brain." ”

At the end, he also sighed: The purpose of science and technology is to make people more and more lazy after all.

Xiaoyu said: "Brother, don't talk about it like that, these things are outside the body after all, and when you are in a real predicament, it is often the thinking that solves the problem, not the computer." For example, if you look at Bei Ye, a dagger and a schoolbag can play with the earth, or is his own ability strong, better than all high-tech. ”

I was noncommittal, and when I saw that he was almost packed, just like the behavior before leaving the house, I habitually patted a few pockets on my body, and then asked Xiaoyu: "Do you have a whistle on you?" ”

Xiaoyu nodded, and then I took out mine, handed it to Zhang Danfeng and said, "This is for you, if necessary, blow him, and then you must return me." ”

I have a habit of going out in the wilderness, and I always have to stay at the survival whistle, because I feel that it can give me a sense of security.

The three of them packed up their ropes, and the moment they went out, it was already dusk.
