Chapter 493: The Smart Man Enters the Hub
Taoist culture, in fact, pays attention to a dialectic. Since Lao Tzu, he has talked about the relationship between rigidity and softness, and the "Four Classics of the Yellow Emperor" is actually similar. If you don't care about this kind of knowledge, it's called "Huang Lao's Learning"!
This "Male and Female Festival", on the surface, is to persuade the ruler not to use too strong means, but to supplement them with feminine means. In fact, if you dig deeper, it is also about the way husband and wife get along. In a family, if the husband is too rough, the family will not be happy. If the status of women is not high, the family is prone to disaster. If you rely on the "Xiongjie" to reap the rewards repeatedly, it can only be regarded as the accumulation of misfortunes, and in the end it is worrying about danger and dying on the verge of death. If we always lose something based on the "Female Festival", this is the process of accumulating merit, and if we carefully guard ourselves and do not deviate from the "Female Festival", great blessings will inevitably come.
This is also the mystery of traditional Chinese culture, a classic, you can understand it.
Just like Confucius's sentence: "The people can make it from it, but not from it", five or six meanings can be distinguished from the broken sentences alone, and Confucianism is therefore divided into several schools to argue about this matter. In fact, for the upper rulers, how to use it depends entirely on the specific event. For example, if a matter does not need to be known by the people, he will use "the people can make it and not make it known"; if something needs to conform to the will of the people, then he will use "the people can make it happen, and if it is not, let it know......
Anyway, how to use it depends on the user's mood.
Someone made a very vivid analogy, these hundreds of schools of thought are like a piece of paper, how to use it depends on the mood of the user.
Tang Chen naturally has a deep understanding of the "essence", the past is used for the present, and it is very enjoyable to use.
Facts have proved that Tang Chen's choice was not wrong.
As soon as this scripture was recited, a peach-colored glow faintly appeared on the two porcelain dolls, and one or two birdsong sounds could be faintly heard, crisp and distant.
"This ...... How is this done?"
Zhou Deqing was deeply subverted by the scene in front of him. Before that, he was no different from most Chinese, with a utilitarian view of faith. Burning incense in the temple, worshiping the Buddha when encountering the Buddha, sweeping the tower when encountering the tower, meeting the Taoist priest and shouting the real person, and seeing the monk and shouting the master, these are all things that follow the trend. But Zhou Deqing never thought that one day he would be really shocked.
The reason why people don't believe in Buddhism and Taoism now is because what they say is too ethereal.
Today, with the advancement of science and technology, almost everyone knows that there are no gods and gods in the sky, let alone gods and Buddhas, and everything before is the imagination of the ancients, a utopia that has long come out.
However, Zhou Deqing, who is known as the "King of Tea", was shocked by Tang Chen's actions, which simply subverted the three views he had formed over the years - how could this plot, which only existed in mythological stories, appear in reality? In fact, not only Zhou Deqing, Zeng Lao and Lao Guo are the same. These old people are well-informed, very experienced, and they are not young, and they don't know how many things they have seen in their lives that cannot be explained by "science".
Some people say that when you are young, you don't believe in ghosts and gods, and when you reach middle age, you don't dare to believe that ghosts and gods exist, and when you are old, you believe that there are ghosts and gods in the world.
It's not because the old people's thinking is solidified, but because they've seen too many things that can't be explained by "science".
Even if it is the "First Emperor of the Ages" Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, and Tang Taizong Li Shimin...... It is inevitable that he will be a little mediocre in his later years, and he believes in the words of the monks. It's all planted on the elixir of immortality -- that's okay, after all, people are afraid of death! Even if the so-called elites of the Tian Dynasty now, the high-ranking officials, and a large number of characters with various academic qualifications such as masters and doctors, aren't they also teased like monkeys by a few so-called masters of the Jianghu Warlocks?
Since ancient times, meat eaters have been despised, and even the more noble they are, the more stupid they are. Moreover, the proportion of fools is not low! Emperor Hui of Jin's "Why not eat minced meat", Qin Shi Huang let Xu Fu go to sea, Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty changed the Yuan Dynasty, and so on. Even in the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Fang Shi named Luan Da. The story and script of this alchemist can be described as extremely clumsy, and even unreasonable. What gold can be refined, the Yellow River that breaks can be closed, and even the elixir of immortality can be obtained.
Such a script is not to mention compared with the masters of later generations. It is Xu Fu of Qin Shi Huang, and Xin Hengping in the period of Taizong of the Han Dynasty, who threw off this Luan Da for more than a dozen streets.
But, sadly......
Relying on such clumsy performances and fooling methods, Luan Da has become a legend that the monks can never surpass. At the peak, Luan Da married Princess Weichang, was named the Marquis of Letong, worshiped as the general of Wuli, wore four general seals, and was given 10,000 gold at a time. Even the henchmen of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, such as Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi, had to bow down in the face of his power.
The emperor's new clothes were undoubtedly exposed at this moment.
In fact, it is also the case, the deception of all the alchemists or masters in history was finally exposed, or because he himself was too stupid, and there were so many flaws and feet that even if the emperor was mentally retarded, he could detect it, so the tragedy, such as Xin Hengping, Luan Da, etc., or believed that their emperors or big men had their own braids, such as the masters of later generations, as soon as they fell backstage, they immediately became the focus of public opinion, and were carefully appreciated by everyone under a magnifying glass.
In that case, the masters naturally have no way to hide. But the question is, why has no one ever doubted them before? Nobody even questioned them?
The answer is too simple.
There are fools in this world, and naturally there are smart people. The problem with fools is that they are too stupid, and the problem with smart people is that they are too smart. Therefore, there is the basis for the existence of the story of the emperor's new clothes.
However, some things are real, even smart people can't find a flaw, which is why many smart people believe in Feng Shui, Alibaba's Ma Yun is the most classic example.
Because they have all witnessed the magic with their own eyes and experienced the magic of Feng Shui firsthand!
Otherwise, why do you think smart people get into the hub? It's because they've all seen it, touched it, and felt it!
It is foreseeable that since Tang Chen's "performance", there will be several more "brain-dead fans": Lao Guo and Zhou Deqing.
What is the most reliable propaganda in the world?
It's word of mouth.
With the reputation of the "Tea King" Zhou Deqing, with a little publicity for Tang Chen, the business is definitely rolling in.
Of course, Tang Chen didn't care about this now, he was more concerned about whether the consecration could be completed smoothly. It was too late, it was too late, and I saw Tang Chen pick up the nectar of the poplar branch, which was a splash, and he also read in his mouth: "Innate true water, cleanse the spiritual platform, and sprinkle dust drop by drop of poplar branch." The mortal realm is Penglai. Cleanse the filth and eliminate the disaster, the Xianglin Dharma Realm is opened, and the Great Heavenly Venerable ...... is the one who converts the demon and relieves the filth."
