Chapter 492 is one and the same
Zhuang Zhou's theory of all things made Yun Yao have a deep understanding of 'Chengxin', prejudice is impossible to disappear, after all, the human race's understanding of things has never been to understand the essence of things, but to understand the form of things through sight, smell, hearing, touch, taste and other organs.
The Jianbai of the Mo family and the separation of the famous Jianbai are actually talking about one thing, from two opposite perspectives.
From the point of view of the stone itself, the stone naturally has two properties: solidity and color. But from the human senses, the solidity and color properties of the stone are separated.
Chengxin, which can be said to be prejudice, also points out that the human race lacks the ability to understand the essence of things, and can only distinguish and observe through the senses, and then combine them to obtain the whole object, which is subtly different from the essence of the object.
It's like cutting something open and gluing it back in, and it's always different from the beginning.
The way of observation of the human race is to 'cut' the object by sight, smell, hearing, touch, and taste, and then put it in the brain to assemble it, so that nature cannot restore the essence.
Therefore, Zhuangzi's 'becoming the heart' is not just prejudice, after reading the theory of all things, I feel that it is too polite to say that it is prejudice, it is simply a defect, a defect of the human race, and it can also be said to be a defect of all life.
It is difficult to restore the essence of the objects that we see in daily life, let alone the ethereal way.
The theory of homogeneity should be the same as each other, right and wrong, life and death, and self. In the end, it is the forgetting of the two things, and the unity is one, that is the Tao.
When Zhuang Zhou and Hui Shi discussed 'Zi Fei Yu Anzhi Fish Joy of Fish', they understood it with the idea of Qi Thing Theory that Qi fish and I are one, so Zhuang Zhou also knew the joy of swimming fish in the water when he stood on the shore. And Hui Shi thinks from the perspective of the opposition between the fish and me, the fish is the fish, I am me, this is a kind of heart.
Yun Yao thought of his own annual rings, he used to think that the annual rings were a simulation of all things, but now he thinks about whether the annual rings themselves are all things? Doesn't bringing your own annual rings give you a new perspective on the world? A new perspective that goes beyond sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch allows you to grasp the essence of everything. Although this is not the Tao, it has already surpassed ordinary monks.
The magic weapon of simulation is not to simulate the appearance, but to simulate the essence. The role of annual rings is greater than Yun Yao imagined.
"Zhuang Zhou dreamed of butterflies, and when he dreamed that it was a butterfly, he didn't know that he was Zhuang Zhou. When I became Zhuang Zhou, I didn't know that I was a butterfly. Zhuang Zhou and the butterfly are also one, but Zhuang Zhou and the butterfly need to be transformed into dreams, and I myself have annual rings, everything and me, and I and everything can be transformed into each other even if there is no dream. Yun Yao's thoughts diverged.
Before reading the 'Theory of Things', Yun Yao's thinking was restricted, but now the reins have been loosened, and he suddenly feels that 'heaven and earth are one finger, and all things are one horse'.
This is also the view of homogeneity, the universe is the same as a finger, and everything is only the size of a horse.
This feeling is very strange, Yun Yao also read "Zhuangzi" before the crossing, and remembered a lot of Zhuangzi's content, but it was not so inspiring. And after reading the bamboo slips written by Zhuangzi himself, it is as if I have suddenly obtained the key to open the treasure, and my mind is constantly scattered.
This is the power of the hundred schools of thought, and it is the spirituality of Zhuangzi that inspires Yunyao. Yun Yao alone is not enough to fully understand, not enough to fully grasp.
Beyond perception to understand the essence of objects, Yun Yao can't do it, but the rings can. Therefore, the growth rings can copy all things, even things that cannot be seen or touched, isn't it the essence of all things?
It can even be said that the annual rings are only Yunyao's own misunderstanding, maybe the rings of the annual rings are not independent, and the thirty-six circles may be a whole, but Yunyao's cognition of the annual rings is not comprehensive enough, so he thinks that the annual rings need to be lit up in a circle.
"The rings can understand all things, so can they understand me?" Yun Yao wants to use the annual rings to analyze himself, what will be the result, can he analyze the essence of himself as a traverser?
Or is it the analysis of the annual rings themselves, can they analyze the essence of the annual rings?
It's really curious, but Yun Yao knows that even if there is really this function, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for him to understand the result. Because he and the annual rings are not the same, now the annual rings are annual rings, and Yunyao is Yunyao. It's like Hui Shi is Hui Shi and fish is a fish, Hui Shi can't understand the joy of fish, and Yun Yao naturally won't understand the answer given by the annual rings.
The annual rings can analyze the answer, but Yun Yao must not understand this answer, because now Yun Yao does not understand how the annual rings work, and how the annual rings copy the magic weapon. It must be when the annual rings are Yunyao and Yunyao is the annual rings, so that she can truly understand the annual rings and achieve the unity of the mixed elements, regardless of each other.
The Theory of Qi Matter gave Yun Yao a direction of cultivation, she had never thought of Qi Tonglun and herself before, but now it seemed that she had to do so.
When I used to cultivate, I mainly cultivated spells and supernatural powers, but I didn't have an in-depth understanding of the annual rings. It's just that the annual rings are regarded as an ordinary plug-in, and now that I think about it, the annual rings are not just plug-ins, but also Yun Yao's new sense to understand the essence of the Three Realms, maybe it is his own organ, maybe it is his own intuition, no matter what it is, it must be a new angle.
If we can make good use of the rings, we can observe the essence of all things, and the differences and similarities between the essences may point out the location of the Heavenly Dao.
Yun Yao looked at the theory of all things sprinkled in his hand, which contained many fables and profound thoughts. Yun Yao couldn't help but be ashamed, when Zhuang Zhou was the same age, she was still struggling between weight loss and food, and Zhuang Zhou had already written such a masterpiece, and sure enough, people are different.
Zhuang Zhou finished writing his masterpiece and needed to rest. It took a lot of energy, but Zhuang Zhou was happy to let Mencius read it and listen to Mencius's opinion.
Mencius was afraid that Zhuang Zhou would think less about these illusory things, and more about the idea of serving the country and the people.
Although Zhuang Zhou's theory of all things seems to be very correct, as long as they are united with each other, right and wrong, life and death, and self, then the world will be one, and there will be no confrontation or war. It seems to be very beautiful, but it is more unreliable than the love of the Mo family.
The benevolence of Confucianism and the love of Mohists are both additions, and both are based on love to build the high-rise building of society. However, Zhuang Zhou's theory of homogeneous things is to do subtraction, to eliminate the mind, but it can't be done at all.
It's like the difference between zero and one, all things are zero, but a person and a thing are one as long as they exist. One is that it is impossible to subtract oneself to become zero, and one and one can only be added up continuously. Charity and love are one plus one plus one plus one ...... Eventually, countless ones added up to become society.
It is impossible for a person to lose himself, and if he subtracts himself, he will have nothing, so it is impossible to achieve unity with all things. With Mencius's wisdom, he must have been able to see through this, so in Mencius's eyes, the theory of all things is very correct nonsense, a big and useless proposition.
It's right and reasonable, but it can't be done, because man is one, and it is impossible to become zero. One can only add to the other one, cannot subtract oneself, and cannot deny one's own existence.
Therefore, the theory of all things can be used to cultivate immortals, but not to govern the world.
