Chapter 483: Printing
Of course, the most positive impact of this incident is that Tang Chen is very afraid of indebting others.
But after he stepped into the feng shui industry, he found that there was no escape from human affection. As the saying goes, again and again...... Up to now, he has made a lot of money by following favors, but he owes more and more debts to people. No way, who made China itself a humane society?
In fact, this also originated from the patriarchal society in ancient times, when the power of the individual was too thin to survive alone. Therefore, in ancient times, people followed the clan patriarchal law and gathered together to survive. Once a habit of thousands of years has been formed, it is naturally difficult to change.
There is also a very interesting story in this, Confucius once said: "The father is hidden for the son, and the son is hidden for the father, and it is directly in it." This sentence is an allusion, Ye Gong, the great doctor of the state of Chu, said to Confucius: "We have an upright man here, and his father stole someone else's sheep, and he denounced his father to the government." Confucius said, "The integrity of our hometown is not the same as the integrity you say, the father hides it for the son, and the son hides it for the father, and the integrity is in it." At first glance, it is difficult to understand this, but in fact, this also reflects Confucius's idea of "benevolent government". In Confucius's view, stealing sheep was not a major sin, as long as he was persuaded at home, and if he reported it directly to the government, his father would be imprisoned, which was "a great injustice". "The lesser of two evils", the father is hidden for the son, and the son is hidden for the father, and most of the bad habits and even illegal and criminal behaviors of relatives are affected in the category of family affection. In such an ideological atmosphere, our society has gradually evolved into a human society.
Is the human society good or bad?
No one can say for sure, which in itself is an ambiguous thing. A social phenomenon will continue to exist only if it has its historical roots and the soil in which it now exists. And human favor itself is not a bad thing, what is bad is people's hearts, those who have ulterior motives use human favors to do illegal things.
is like Tang Chen, he would never do anything that violates his moral conscience for the sake of favors, let alone something illegal.
In the face of great rights and wrongs, only a feng shui master who can abide by his heart can go further. Caring too much about money, power, or whatever, this kind of feng shui master has fallen behind.
And the "Tea King" Zhou Deqing admires Tang Chen because of this: although he is young, he knows how to measure, knows how to advance and retreat, knows right from wrong, and takes the overall situation into account. Who is the "Tea King"? World-renowned celebrities, as long as they are fans of Tieguanyin, there are very few people who do not know his name. How many ups and downs, right and wrong, how many young talents and rising stars have Zhou Deqing seen in his life?
However, after all, there are young people who are self-aware but always maintain self-confidence and have made a career.
Why?
Zhou Deqing understood early in the morning that character determines fate, temperament determines character, details determine success or failure, and attitude determines everything. Throughout the ages, talented talents are like carp crossing the river, but there are still very few who can really make a career. Were the emperors of ancient times smart? They were certainly not stupid, but why were there so many "faint kings" that they were so ruined that the country and the dynasty were destroyed? Are today's college students smart? Certainly not stupid, but how many of them can stick to their dreams and fight unremittingly for them?
As the saying goes, being smart is mistaken by being smart. Smart people saw the hardships of entrepreneurship and retreated. And those who are down-to-earth can succeed. As the old saying goes: "A wise man is obscure in small things, but a very ignorant person must take care of small things." Covering the service is the root of ignorance, and the hole of hazy wisdom is also. This means that the really smart people are always confused about the inconsequential details, and the really stupid people are always suspicious and shrewd in the small things. So, shrewdness in small things is the root of stupidity, and confusion in small things is the source of wisdom.
Is Tang Chen smart? He didn't think so, because his talent in learning was still a little bit worse, and at most he belonged to the middle and upper reaches. So why was he able to learn Feng Shui so well? In fact, it is still the same sentence, "diligence can make up for clumsiness". When Tang Chen decided to take "Sanheju" as his life's work, he had been "cultivating" feng shui for almost 20 years, and he had always been meticulous in his treatment of feng shui.
This attitude can be seen from his drawing.
In Zhou Deqing's eyes, Tang Chen's every move is pleasing to the eye, as if watching a calligrapher and painter splash ink on the spot.
The pen dances the dragon and snake, and the mercury falls to the ground. The pen of genius is natural.
One talisman after another was drawn, and Tang Chen was like a printing press, never knowing how tired he was.
"How many pictures has Master Tang drawn? Doesn't he rest and rest?"
Lao Guo felt tired for Tang Chen, he was a pen maker, and he was also considered to have passed the brush words, and he understood that writing brush words for a long time had a good impact on the wrists, shoulders, and waist and spine...... It's all a test.
"There are more than two dozen of them, right?"
Looking at the slightly folded talismans, Zeng Lao smiled bitterly.
Zhou Deqing heard the meaning of Lao Guo's words: "What, is it a very tiring thing to draw talismans?"
Lao Guo smiled bitterly: "How can you not be tired? Just now, Master Tang drew a 'Nine Heavens Xuannu Seal', and he was about to go back to his room to rest." Looks like you slept for an hour or so, right?"
Zhou Deqing was anxious and said: "How can this be, people are the most precious, what should I do if I am tired?"
After that, he wanted to go over and persuade Tang Chen to stop. But Zeng Lao stopped him, and Zhou Deqing asked a little puzzled: "Zeng Lao, ...... you?"
"Old Zhou, don't be impatient. Look at Master Tang, he is completely unaware of the changes in the outside world. You rashly interrupt him, in case you interrupt the coherence of his drawing, maybe you will lose all your efforts......" Although Zeng Lao was also a little unbearable, he was a little relieved when he saw Tang Chen's appearance that he seemed to have no joy or sorrow.
Zhou Deqing was stunned: "Won't it?"
Lao Guo said solemnly: "How could it not, Master Tang failed the first time he tried the 'Nine Heavens Xuannu Seal', and as soon as the last stroke of that talisman was drawn, it immediately burned up, and there were not even ashes left!"
"So serious?!" Zhou Deqing hesitated for a moment, but finally stopped and waited to see what happened. He can't afford to gamble, if he gambles on his granddaughter's marriage, it will be a big deal.
In fact, Zeng Lao guessed correctly, Tang Chen had indeed entered a realm of forgetting things and me, and it could even be said to be an epiphany. It was as if in the darkness, there was a force pulling Tang Chen, drawing talismans at an astonishing speed. Every time he drew one more talisman, Tang Chen felt that his understanding of talismans deepened. This feeling made him want to stop.
It took half a day to paint, and it wasn't until the evening that Tang Chen's arm was sore, he couldn't even lift the pen, and his understanding was no longer deepened, so he stopped. This process was very boring to outsiders, and Tang Chen felt bitter and tired when he came back to his senses. But looking at the thick stack of talismans, he also felt that everything was worth it.
