Chapter 387: The Unity of Heaven and Man

ɦ 䣺2014-01-1119:37:59388.Chapter 388 Heaven and man are one

Heaven and man are one!

First of all, let's talk about what is the unity of heaven and man, as the so-called hundred schools of thought interpret a hundred schools, different beliefs, different ways of interpretation.

According to Confucianism, heaven is the origin of moral concepts and principles, and people are endowed with moral principles, and this unity of heaven and man is a natural, but unconscious, unity. However, due to the fact that human beings are blinded by all kinds of fame and fortune, they cannot discover the moral principles in their hearts. The purpose of human cultivation is to remove the blindness of the outside world, "ask for peace of mind", and achieve a state of consciously fulfilling moral principles, which is what Confucius said, "Seventy do what you want from the heart and do not exceed the rules".

Zen Buddhism, human nature is originally Buddha nature, only because of secular concepts, ** and unconscious, once you realize these concepts, ** are not true. If the true nature naturally appears, it will reach the state of finally becoming a Buddha, so they put forward the idea that "afflictions are Bodhi, and ordinary people are Buddhas". What is the state of true enlightenment? Judging from a certain scale, it is still a bit like the Taoist meaning of conforming to nature. Therefore, there is a saying in Zen Buddhism: "Enlightenment, carrying firewood and carrying water are all wonderful ways." "Zen is like this old cow, thirsty to drink water, hungry to eat grass. ”

Taoism, in Taoism, heaven is nature, and man is a part of nature. Therefore, Zhuangzi said: "If there are people, there is heaven, and if there is heaven, there is also heaven." "Heaven and man are one. However, due to the formulation of various rules and regulations and moral norms, people have lost their original natural nature and become out of harmony with nature. The purpose of human practice is to "abandon the holy and abandon wisdom", to break down these barriers imposed on the human body, to liberate human nature, to return to nature, and to achieve a spiritual realm of "all things are one with me".

As for which family Xu Yang belongs to, he doesn't say it himself, all the unity of heaven and man that he can achieve has always been the pseudo-unity of heaven and man, when he was in the valley, Old Man Ge and Old Man Lu once said that Xu Yang's cultivation was only a half-step grandmaster. If you want to truly reach the grandmaster, you need chance. Look at Lu Feng is also talented, since he was a child, he began to study the tea ceremony, and he has been working hard for half a life, after the glitz of the world, after precipitation, he entered the realm of the grandmaster, and only then did he have the final realm capital. Even though Xu Yang has been learning since he was a child, he has hard work and famous teachers, and his earthly experience is really insufficient.

This time is an opportunity for Xu Yang, and there is a small chance that he can enter that realm. The unity of heaven and man has also been explained in the history of China's 5,000-year civilization.

In the philosophy of ancient Chinese civilization, one view to explain the so-called "heaven" is that it contains the following contents: 1) Heaven is an existence that can have a sense relationship with people; 2) Heaven is an existence that bestows people with good fortune and evil; 3) Heaven is the object of people's awe and service; 4) Heaven is the existence that governs the fate of people, especially dynasties (the Heaven of Destiny); 5. Heaven is the existence that endows people with the nature of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom. Another view is that "heaven" is a representation of "nature". "The unity of heaven and man" has two meanings: one is the unity of heaven and man. The universe is naturally a big world, and man is a small world. The second is that heaven and man correspond, or heaven and man are connected. It means that man and nature are essentially connected, so all personnel should follow the laws of nature and achieve harmony between man and nature. Lao Tzu said: "Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature." (Mawangdui unearthed a copy of "Lao Tzu") that shows the consistency and communication between man and nature. Pre-Qin Confucianism also advocated "the unity of heaven and man", and the Book of Rites and the Mean said: "The sincere person is also the way of heaven, and the sincere person is also the way of man." It is believed that as long as people carry forward the virtue of "sincerity", they can be consistent with the sky. Han Confucian Dong Zhongshu clearly proposed: "When heaven and man are united, they become one." ("Spring and Autumn Dew: Deep Investigation of Names") has become an important point of view in Confucianism for 2,000 years.

This explanation is representative. Of course, for this kind of ethereal words, just like the tea ceremony that Xu Yang is now sitting there performing, he has completely achieved a natural manifestation of the same image of heaven and man, and the same law of heaven and man!

The principle of detonating the nuclear energy of life lies in the fact that "contradictions are the basis and source of power for the development and change of all things", and these contradictions are integrated in an active and instantaneous (i.e., in the shortest time), detonating all the energies between things, and gathering them in one direction, so that the use of energy and the achievement of goals can be optimized and the achievements can be maximized.

This level can be divided into four levels: the first level, the id, the superego, the contradiction between the id and the superego, the superego, the self!

The second layer: the law of self, external objects, the contradiction between self and external objects!

The third layer: law, principle, law and principle contradiction, law and principle unity, one-minded ideological system!

The fourth layer: the one-minded system, the real world, the one-minded ideological system and the real world contradict the one-minded world!

These four levels can be said that Xu Yang has been hovering at the second and third levels, and this time it is the first time to reach the fourth level, just like the realm in the fantasy, and now Xu Yang is the main body to unconditionally spread his own realm around, of course, it is not the kind of practice that opens the world and destroys the earth, it is just a metaphor, otherwise the second half of this book will become the subject of fantasy.

It's just that there is an incomparable tacit understanding between Xu Yang's every move and every move, as if it drives all things in heaven and earth, can infect the people around him, and make the hearts of the people around him fluctuate with Xu Yang's every move. It is more like an aura, the aura of the unity of heaven and man is easy-going nature, and the natural unity of all living beings.

If there is really the vitality of heaven and earth, then Xu Yang's every move drives the vitality of heaven and earth, everyone seems to be in a different kind of space, they watch Xu Yang's every move, as if it should be, the water splashed by Xu Yang is so harmonious and natural. Everyone's minds have been completely brought into another place by Xu Yang, they have seen what they shouldn't see, and they feel everything they shouldn't feel.

With the end of Xu Yang's last action, this time Xu Yang's tea ceremony did not completely deliberately follow the steps on the tea ceremony, but followed his hands, and everything was so natural. Speaking of which, Xu Yang is more like a god! That kind of otherworldly "law phase"! Of course, it also ended with his last action.

Xu Yang was able to complete the entire tea ceremony in this state, and it has to be said that it was also a chance, and any little thing or whisper during this period might let him get out of it. This is also because this is the old residence of the Xu family, although I don't know where it is, the environment and air here are much cleaner than the bustling city. Therefore, Xu Yang's opportunity this time was also completed under many conditions.

Although when will he reach this state in the future, but after Xu Yang has had such an experience, it is already a matter of time before he becomes a grandmaster, and the most critical step he has already taken, this time the tea has actually reached the tea brewed by the grandmaster!

After pouring a tea for each person, Xu Yang sat there quietly, closing his eyes and reflecting on everything just now, even if he had the ability of divine vision, he couldn't help him this time, it was completely up to him.

In fact, the unity of heaven and man sums up the ideological core and spiritual essence of the Chinese nation for 5,000 years. First, it points out the dialectical unity between man and nature; second, it shows the perfectionism and enterprising spirit of human beings who are endless, and who are endless, and who are in the same heaven; and third, it embodies the comprehensiveness and self-renewal of the Chinese nation's world outlook and values. The idea of "the unity of man and nature" is everywhere. Confucianism, with "benevolence" as the core and "etiquette" as the outward expression, can be said to be a kind of human science, proposing "blood is thicker than water", "the old and the old, the young and the young", "killing oneself to become benevolent, sacrificing one's life for righteousness" and so on.

In the value achievement system of the unity of nature and man, the unity of heaven and man is an observation tool and thinking mode that describes the contradictory changes of things and the reaction process and direction. Heaven and man each represent the two aspects of the contradiction between all things, that is, inside and outside, big and small, static and dynamic, advance and retreat, power and resistance, passive and active, thought and matter, and so on.

The main reason why we use heaven and man to represent the contradictions in all things is that if there is no one, all contradictory movements cannot be detected; if there is no sky, all contradictory movements will lose the carrier of their production; only man can use the contradictions of all things; and only heaven can give people the resources to use contradictions! In short, only by taking heaven and man as the representative of the contradictory movements of all things in the universe can we most thoroughly express the original appearance and function of the changes in heaven and earth.

The fundamental expression of the unity of heaven and man: heaven and man are the core and most essential contradiction of all things in the world, heaven represents the material environment, man represents the ideological subject of adjusting material resources, and the combination is the formal transformation between contradictions, and the first is the fundamental attribute of contradiction and interdependence.

The unity of heaven and man constitutes the most fundamental contradiction and unity of opposites in human society, and among the contradictions of all things, there are four levels of contradictions in the order from the inside to the outside! And all the starting points, directions, and destinations of human activities are all in this four contradictory movements of the unity of heaven and man!

Xu Yang stroked the teacup and smiled, very Buddha's twisted smile, is it enlightened? or not? This is only known to him, but the change in Xu Yang's temperament in an instant is something that everyone can feel. In the past, Xu Yang was gentle and elegant, like a scholar who was full of learning in ancient times. And now he is more like a cultivator who has escaped from the world. There is a sense of peace and nature!

Xu Yang exhaled and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, every time I feel something after the tea ceremony, I will be like this." Everyone's tea!"

Aunt Qi has already shocked Xu Yang as a celestial, and admires Lu Feng even more, this is just a twenty-year-old boy, not to mention anything else, in the tea ceremony, there are only a few people in the world who can beat Xu Yang in the realm he has reached, maybe there is no one else except Lu Feng!
