All Chapters_Chapter 60 Yin and Yang Gossip
I don't understand what kindness is, grandma said, just let me be a kind person, only by being kind in my heart, can I seek the right path and live for the common people.
But I think my third question is a pure idea just happened to be right, the so-called time and place, I don't know if my uncle and grandfather wanted to accept me deliberately let me burn the house at that time period, or knew that I would cry, just to see my heart after enlightenment.
But I have to say that if my uncle and grandfather's question was not to ask me to set fire to Grandpa Chen's house or push him into the water, but to beat Sun Hongsheng or something, I probably wouldn't be able to become my uncle and grandfather's beginner disciple, because I would be very happy to beat Sun Hongsheng, that guy is too indebted!
Of course, it is a very happy thing to be able to stay by my uncle's side, although I still don't know exactly what Mr. Big does, I just think it's very powerful, it's amazing, and the most important thing is that I'm very happy to see my grandma, I think, this is also what my grandma wants to see, I began to understand their expectations of me, and in my heart, I don't want to live up to it.
I didn't go home with my grandmother that day, although I received an unexpected surprise but the mood was still depressed by the departure of my grandmother, grandma said let me stay for a while, it can be regarded as adjusting the mood, otherwise, going home will always touch the scene, she is afraid that I will be stimulated this time there will be a shadow.
When she left, grandma's eyes were still moist, "Big brother, you know that I am worried about my life, I used to be afraid that Sibao would not cry in the future, and it would become a scourge if she was stupid or not, but now she is crying and can still stay by your side, I am a matter of her tiger bones, you said that if you can't connect all the time, is it ...... her?"
Uncle looked at his grandmother a little helplessly and shook his head, "Feng Nian, your heart is really unbelievable, whoever enters the yin and yang will have three disadvantages and five shortcomings, everything should not be delusional, ask excessively, remember, thousands of rivers have water, thousands of rivers and moons, thousands of miles of cloudless thousands of miles of sky." ”
Grandma listened to her uncle's words and nodded, "I know that I am too competitive and short-tempered, so I can only be a leader after my debut, in fact, I know very well in my heart that the number of yin and yang techniques is no better than others, Bao Si is still young, I can't be in a hurry, I just hope that the child will have a chance, then I will die, and I will rest assured." ”
Uncle nodded, "I understand your thoughts, Bao Si's heart still needs to be sharpened, she is still young, and the road is long." ”
When my grandmother left, she specially called me to my side and asked me to study hard with my uncle, don't be naughty, be obedient, I nodded, thinking to myself, my uncle is going to teach me something, does it have to be like being in school, sitting in a proper manner, holding a book to learn.
As soon as my grandmother left, my uncle looked at me and smiled, "Baosi, let's go play." ”
I was stunned, "Uncle, grandma said that she wanted me to learn from you." ”
My uncle looked at me with a smile, "Don't worry, you can do whatever you like, go ahead." ”
But I don't want to play anything, since my uncle let me move freely, I sit on the threshold and hold the box in a daze, and my uncle won't ask me what I'm thinking, what I'm in a daze, when it's time to eat, he will tell me to eat, and when it's dark, he will tell me stories as before.
If I had to describe the way my uncle managed me, it would be two words, free-range.
I do whatever I want, he never asks much, and he doesn't care, although I know that my grandmother is dead, but I really can't control thinking about her, what to do, I am not very energetic, and I can't laugh, even if I feed Xiaolu, watching Xiaolu fly around me with other old babies like before, I feel relaxed, but I am dead, that is, the corners of my mouth are slightly raised, I think, normal, probably just don't let me giggle so stupidly.
In the afternoon, my uncle would read in the yard, I was not as afraid of the heat as before, but I was still more resistant to running crazy in the sun, and I squatted under the wall to play with the leaves in the water, and sometimes I would wonder when I played, "Uncle, why do some leaves float on the water, and some leaves will sink to the bottom of the water while I play." ”
Grandpa's eyes moved from the book, looked at me and smiled softly, "Because you have destroyed their yin and yang balance." ”
Seeing that I didn't understand, he got up and picked a leaf directly from the tree and walked in front of me, "You see, this leaf is two-sided, the front side is smooth when it goes straight to the sun, and the back is the leaf, so if it goes straight to the sun, will it be very hot?" ”
I nodded, "Well, it's hot." ”
My uncle looked at me patiently, "So, what about the sun, we call it yang, and if you can't see the sun on the back, I call it yin, now put it in the water, yin side down, yang side up, you don't move it, this yin and yang are balanced, it naturally can't sink to the bottom of the water, but now press the leaves down......"
As he spoke, my uncle and grandfather wet the leaves whole, and after a while, the leaves sank, "You see, this yin and yang were destroyed by me, so it sank." ”
I looked at it as if I didn't understand, "Uncle, does everything have two sides of yin and yang?" ”
Uncle nodded, "Of course, no matter how thin the paper is, does it have two sides?" ”
I scratched my head, it's really like that, I'm two-faced, I can see the front of myself, but I can't see the back of my head.
Just thinking about it, my uncle took a branch and drew a circle on the ground, and in the circle, there were two symmetrical things that looked like tadpoles to me, but I had seen this picture in a book that my uncle made me sleep, and I also knew it, "Uncle, this is Tai Chi, one side is black, and the other side is white." ”
Uncle and grandfather nodded and pointed to the two little tadpoles, "This is yin and yang, also called Liangyi, solitary yin does not grow, solitary yang does not grow, so yin and yang must be balanced." “
I seemed to understand something, "Uncle, I know, I just am unbalanced, because I couldn't cry before, I can only laugh, laughter is yang, crying is yin, a person, should be able to laugh and cry to balance, can't be happy and laugh, unhappy and laugh." ”
My uncle touched my head with a smile, and the stick in his hand made a mark on the top and bottom of the Taiji diagram, "Four treasures, do you know what this is." ”
I shook my head, "I don't understand." ”
The uncle still continued to open his mouth unhurriedly, "This is the four elephants, since the yin and yang get the two instruments, the two instruments will give birth to the four elephants, which are divided into southeast and northwest, wood, fire, gold and water, and Bao Si, is it the hottest in the south and the most yang." ”
I pointed to the top of the Taiji diagram, "It should be the hottest, that is, the one with the most yang energy." ”
My uncle nodded, and looked at me with the wooden root in his hand, "The more sunny the place, the more you need to use a long stick, and the more shaded the place, the more you need to use a short stick." After speaking, he took out three long sticks and put them in the most yang position of the Taiji diagram I was referring to, "This position is Qian, which represents Yang Lie, so where is the most yin position?" ”
This is simple, its symmetrical position is, I stretched out my hand and pointed to the bottom of the Taiji diagram, "Here, the north is symmetrical, the north is the most yin, here to put three shortest sticks!" ”
Uncle and grandfather shook his head, "No, three long sticks are broken into short sticks, how many are they?" ”
I rolled my eyes and thought, "Six, if you want to break three long ones, you will have to make six short ones!" ”
Uncle and grandfather smiled and nodded, and folded a few short sticks and put them at the bottom of the Taiji diagram, "This is the north kun position, the sky is dry and the earth is good, what about the east, think about it, the sun rises in the east, and in the morning, the sun is also very hot." “
I scratched my face and thought, "Then two long and two short, because there is no sun in the afternoon in the East House." ”
"Very good, this is the east departure, what about the west, the west is when the sun sets in the afternoon, although it is going to be dark, but there is also a sunset."
I took a deep breath, "Easy! Then just put one long stick and two short ...... No way! Four short sticks! It's going to get dark, and it's going to be cold! ”
My uncle looked at me and seemed to be very happy, he continued to help me fold the sticks in his hands, and his fingertips kept pointing around the Taiji diagram drawn on the ground, and continued to ask me to guess the direction of the wooden sticks in order.
I played attentively, and finally I found that the Taiji diagram drawn by my uncle was full of sticks, and I counted it carefully, "Uncle, it's eight, there are eight directions, southeast, east, northeast, north, northwest, west, southwest." ”
Uncle nodded, "Taiji gives birth to two yi, one yin and one yang, and the two yi give birth to four elephants, a combination of yin and yang, the yang in the yang is dry, the yin in the yang is the exchange, the yang of the less yin is the separation, and the yin of the less yin is the shock...... From this, gossip is derived. ”
I played until dusk, and I didn't know how hungry I was when I ordered the meal, and my uncle saw that I was interested in telling me all the time, and I think the amount of information was a bit large, because my uncle said that gossip yin and yang are not only just the cold and heat that I understand, but also contain the heaven and earth, the mountains, the rain, the wind, the thunder, the water and the fire.
For example, if he says that the thunder and wind are fighting, I will go to find the earthquake position, which is in the northeast, which represents the thunder, and the wind is in the Xun position, which is located in the southwest, and it is clear from the Taiji diagram that the two of them are in an oblique opposite position.
The simple understanding is to learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses, help each other, look at the sticks I put can also be understood, the shock position is one long below, four short ones and then up, and Xun position is two short ones below, long on the top, so the hexagram is reversed, but it just helps each other.
There is also water and fire do not shoot at each other, just around the Taiji diagram drawn by the uncle, one east and one west, the wooden sticks are also reversed, the separation is fire, the kan is water, the water has fire to help its cold, and the water of fire is its heat, not extinguished, the two hexagrams are opposite, but balanced.
I kept trying to find differences in the eight opposing positions, and found that all the layouts were related to yin and yang, supporting each other, and the cycle was endless, as if it was a coincidence.
Although the amount of information is too large I need time to digest, but the play is very forgetful, until it is dark can no longer see the Tai Chi Bagua diagram on the ground, I legs numb against the wall to get up, looking at my uncle and grandfather eyes full of excitement, "Uncle, I will continue to play this tomorrow, it is much more fun than living mud!" ”
