002, saint

Cangjie has not appeared in the world for many years. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info thought that at the beginning, Mangxian Tong instructed the drought to go to Wangwu Mountain, causing a vision of heaven and earth and waiting for Cangjie to find, but it was the tiger baby who was waiting. This may be fate, but on the other hand, it may also show that even Jumang doesn't know where to find Cangjie.

Cangjie didn't show up when the Hougang Department was affected by the disaster, and Cangjie still didn't show up when all the departments in the world were affected by the disaster, not because he didn't want to pay attention to it, but because he didn't know it at all, and he was creating the world in the boundless mystical formula. After Cangjie returned to the world, he found that the world had changed, all the departments in the world had suffered for a long time, and the four gods of war in China were left with only the one-armed Lu.

Di Jiang was defeated in a duel with Lu and died when he hit the canopy of heaven in anger. Bo Yi was jealous of the heads of the various tribes, and died in the Longxi Plain after a war. Chongbo Kun has been controlling the water for nine years without success, and his body is broken according to the previous agreement. Emperor Yao Fangxun Chan Tianzi is located in Chonghua, and Yu, the son of Kun, has now become the minister of Chinese water control. Cangjie learned so much about the situation, and immediately found Bo Yu here.

Bo Yu didn't know Cangjie, but after seeing Cangjie himself, he seemed to inexplicably wake up a certain insight or memory, and knew who the person who suddenly appeared in mid-air was, and immediately saluted: "Yu to meet Lord Shi Huang!"

Cangjie asked again, "Do you still call me Lord Shi Huang?"

Bo Yu bowed again: "Yu greets the master!"

Cangjie floated down, Shaowu and the others were still stunned, and Huwa had already stepped forward and saluted: "Congratulations to Mr. Cangjie!" What did he congratulate Cangjie? Of course, he accepted Boyu's disciple.

Since ancient times, when masters accept disciples, they usually have to secretly examine their character and heart. Cangjie and Boyu and others, the former will never accept apprentices easily, and the latter will not easily apprentice. But when they met for the first time, they asked and answered, and Bo Yu bowed under the Cangjie Gate. The tiger baby also breathed a sigh of relief, although it was not expected in advance, but when this incident really happened, it was exactly what the tiger baby wanted.

In a sense, Huwa and Lu are both Bo Yu's teachers, but the meaning of the teacher here is different from the formal teacher relationship, their roles are more like Bo Yu's protectors, and Bo Yu should also be a teacher of high sages and virtues since ancient times.

Huwa's task is to pass on the knowledge of Chongbokun to Bo Yu, so that he can inherit Chongbokun's knowledge, and Lu's task is to promote Bo Yu as the minister of China's water control, so that he can inherit Chongbocang's ambition.

There are some people in the world who seem to be born to know it. For example, there are Nine Realms of cultivation for the land immortals, because of their experience in the reincarnation of life and death, and because of the immortal family's deduction powers, many things that have not been seen in this life seem to be able to recognize and understand when they see them. There is another kind of person, like Bo Yu, who has his natural blessings.

Bo Yu has never seen Cangjie, but when he sees him, he knows who this person is, which comes from Chong Bo Kun's first life. Neither Huwa nor Lu finally taught Bo Yu to practice, and people like Yu seem to be born to practice. This does not mean that he will have cultivation out of thin air, but that with the clarity of his state of mind, he will have the corresponding insight every time he seeks to verify his cultivation.

The so-called born to know, more or less, is not born to know everything. Bo Yu still needs someone to enlighten and guide, and Yao Ji has already enlightened Bo Yu. If you don't talk about the supernatural power and natural blessings, Chong Bo Kun has actually broken through the Dacheng state of mind when he walks down the Shenmin Hill, and if he is willing to practice, there will be no obstacles from the initial realm to the Dacheng.

Huwa thought that Boyu's fate was on the Shenmin Hill, but the real opportunity was at the foot of the Shenmin Hill, and Mr. Cangjie suddenly came. Huwa thought about it, Cangjie is indeed the best guide for Bo Yu, because what Bo Yu wants to do is to control the water for China, if he is proficient in the situation of mountains and rivers, the way of geography, who can compare to Mr. Cangjie?

Cangjie smiled and helped Bo Yu up and said: "Yu'er doesn't have to be polite, you have obtained the Yan Emperor's order and Shaohao's order today, if the teacher has not arrived, where do you plan to go next?"

Bo Yu: "Master Yu, I plan to go to Pusaka, give the things I want to do to the son of tomorrow, and ask Lord Gaotao for advice." ”

Bo Yu has experienced more than 20 years of "water control" on Shenmin Hill, and knows that this matter cannot be completed by one person, and it is difficult to even appease the people of all departments to cooperate sincerely. The governance plan of the Great River Basin is not just as simple as splitting the Wuyun Mountains, there are too many things involved before and after, and Boyu now has a detailed plan.

He had to submit this detailed plan to the Son of Heaven, and it could only be implemented after the Son of Heaven formally ordered it. But the Son of Heaven Decree alone is not enough, how can his plan really be effectively implemented, but also to consult virtuous people, the most important person is Gaotao.

Gao Tao is the minister of Emperor Yao, and after being re-re-reinstated as the Son of Heaven, he reused Gao Liao as the priest. It is important to know that when Chonghua was regent in Pusaka City before receiving Zen as the Son of Heaven, the position he held was that of a priest. After he became the Son of Heaven, he appointed Gao Tao as the new Priest, and Gao Liao was vaguely regarded as a candidate for the next Son of Heaven by the heads of various ministries.

Gao Tao is a priest and is in charge of the world's criminal litigation, which is equivalent to that of Ba Guoli, but Gao Tao's scope of authority far exceeds that of Lizheng. He also supervised the behavior of hundreds of officials, punished illegal officials and monarchs on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and arbitrated disputes among the various ministries in the world.

It is not that the position of the priest represents a candidate for the future Son of Heaven, but with the status and prestige of Gaotao, if something unexpected happens to the Son of Heaven, there is a chance that the person newly elected by the heads of the various ministries will be him. After Chongbokun, the person with the highest prestige and the most praised among the various ministries was Gaotao.

Gaotao is a saint, and in this regard, Chongbokun was inferior to others.

In later generations, there were hundreds of schools of thought, and there were different theories to describe "saints", and Emperor Yao Fangxun and Emperor Shun Chonghua were also respected as saints. But in this age when the people's wisdom and language are very simple, the meaning of the saint is still different from the various sayings of later generations.

It does not refer to the sacred people that people take for granted, nor does it refer to the emperors of the Holy Ming, nor does it refer to the ancestors of various sects and doctrines and the ancients who are admired, but emphasizes the meaning of "human".

The word "saint" was created by Cangjie, Gaotao was his student, and the inheritance was mainly not the rune supernatural power and the secret method of cultivation, but the cultivation of the saint. A saint can hear the Tao and understand the righteousness of heaven and earth; a saint can preach and explain the true meaning of the world; a saint is virtuous and can lead the crowd and set an example. It refers to a kind of cultivation that is complete in knowledge and action, and full of talent and virtue.

The so-called self-cultivation is not just one's own business as others understand, it must be from the inside out, and it must have a real relationship with all kinds of things in the world before it can be called complete knowledge and action. Some people are revered as saints by later generations after leaving the world for many years, but those who are called saints when they are alive are Gaotao, although the meaning of the so-called saints at this time is slightly different from that of later generations.

Gaotao is a student of Cangjie, and the inheritance obtained is the cultivation of the saint, why is it not the learning of the saint? Where does the learning come from, the predecessors have created and the descendants have learned, first there is the cultivation of the saints, and then there is the learning of the saints. Not to mention Gaotao's personal cultivation, what did he do, and why was he called a saint at that time?

First of all, it is necessary to talk about what the Chinese Son of Heaven did when he canonized all the ministries and ruled the world, and on what basis? The process of formulating the covenant is part of the Chinese ritual law, so it is also regarded as the implementation of education, but where does the form and content of education come from?

The so-called etiquette law is not exactly the same as the concept of etiquette and law in later generations, but it is also a rule of conduct, and the violation of this rule will be blamed or punished. What kind of punishment or evaluation is imposed on what kind of behavior also belongs to this system of rules. The birth of human social civilization originated from this, and without this system of rules, it is impossible to form a social civilization system.

Out of the wilderness and ignorance, the reason why people are human is here, this is also a process of opening spiritual wisdom in a broad sense. The role of rules is not only to restrain people's behavior, but more importantly, to ensure an order, so that the civilized social system can better exist and develop.

The rules must conform to this inner invisible law, which the saints also call the Tao, and this Tao is humane, otherwise it will be overthrown and changed sooner or later, and on the other hand, the collapse of the rules also means the collapse of the order. Its appearance is the process of self-consciousness of the world's people after the opening of spiritual wisdom in a broad sense, as if from chaos to clarity.

There is no book in ancient times, the ancestors knotted the rope to remember, and Taihao created the gossip talisman, which can be used for counting, metaphors, and divination. The so-called divination is actually the earliest test of the past and the lesson of the future. So how did the etiquette come about, that is, the conscious behavior and social norms of the past generations, and when Taihao created China, a relatively complete and simple system has been formed.

Later generations of the Son of Heaven, whether it was the lineage of the Qing Emperor, the Yan Emperor or the Yellow Emperor, until the Emperor Yao era, generally followed a simple principle. For example, if something happens, how to deal with it, the heads of all ministries should be convened to discuss, and the basis for dealing with it often comes from the experience of dealing with ancient sages who were commonly recognized.

For example, when Xuanyuan was the Son of Heaven, what happened and how Xuanyuan was disposed of, and when Xuanyuan was the Son of Heaven, something similar happened, then the same principle of disposal should be followed, or it should be used as a reference and slightly changed according to the facts. Then what about something that had never been encountered before? Then Emperor Zhuan and the heads of the various ministries jointly discussed a method of disposition, and this method of disposition became a principle for later generations to refer to.

Emperor Zhuan dealt with such a thing, and when Emperor Yao was the Son of Heaven in later generations, he encountered it again, and you can see Emperor Zhuan's handling method. And whether this reference is appropriate or not needs to be discussed by Emperor Yao and the heads of various ministries. According to the precedents of the predecessors, the monarchs of the court decided together, and over time, a set of ritual laws was formed.

Many, many years later, there was a system of "jurisprudence" and a "jury" system, which were vaguely similar to them. There may be a big difference, and the background may be very different, but there is always something familiar about the world.

The ritual itself is also a kind of inheritance and accumulation, when there are no books and no canons, or word of mouth, or the imprint of the gods. It is impossible to generalize the Divine Thoughts and Heart Seals, and it is inevitable that there will be errors in word of mouth, and it is even impossible to fully and truly describe them. By the time of Di Yao, it was difficult to adapt to the needs of this method, and its disadvantages became more and more obvious.

Cangjie made words for writing, and after abandoning the position of the Son of Heaven, he was respected as Shi Huang's family, because he also did it for a while, that is, he used words as a carrier to record all kinds of historical materials that could be collected since ancient times, and passed these historical materials to.

Gaotao wrote a book with literature and compiled nine classics for China. He sorted out and revised the rules of etiquette since ancient times, examined the "rules of Taihao", "the balance of Shennong", "the rope of Xuanyuan", "the moment of Shaohao", and "the right of Xuanyuan", and formulated a formal and clear system of etiquette according to the needs of the world. It must be known that Gaotao's writing is completely different from that of later generations, and the process is extremely difficult.

Later generations are all said to be Gao Tao as "Prison Code" and "Five Punishments". In fact, what Gao Tao did was far more than that, he formulated a complete set of social operating rules and a complete system of civilized order, the most well-known is the "five punishments and five religions".

The so-called "Five Teachings" refers to father's righteousness, mother's kindness, brotherhood, brotherhood, and filial piety. Thousands of years later, this is nothing more than a moral code of family ethics, but the reason why people can evolve into human society is fundamental. After many generations of thinking and discovering, Gao Tao made a clear written summary and formulated it as a norm of social behavior.

The so-called "Five Punishments" does not only refer to the five punishments of ink, slash, fray, palace, and Dabi, but the real five punishments refer to the five systems of armor, axe, knife and saw, drilling, and whipping. A soldier is the system of defeating the enemy, the axe is the method of governing the army, the knife and saw is the punishment of punishment, the drill is the knowledge of stabbing crime, and the whipping is the punishment of admonition.

This has risen to the code of conduct of the whole country and society, and human society takes the family as the basic unit, and the criminal order is based on moral norms, which is the meaning of "five punishments and five religions".

Gao Tao also made the "Nine Virtues" of the canon, the so-called nine virtues refer to the wide and chestnut, soft and standing, willing and respectful, chaotic and respectful, disturbing and resolute, straight and gentle, simple and inexpensive, rigid and plugged, strong and righteous. This is a moral requirement for the Son of Heaven and people from all walks of life, such as "the Son of Heaven should have nine virtues", so that the Son of Heaven has a clear criterion for judging when examining his subjects and when his subjects evaluate the character of the Son of Heaven.

Although the evaluation criteria for character have existed since ancient times, Gaotao made a clear summary. In fact, the vast majority of the Son of Heaven failed to meet this requirement, but with the criterion for judging, the subjects and future generations will also know where the Son of Heaven has lost his government and virtue.

In addition to the "Five Punishments", "Five Teachings" and "Nine Virtues", Gaotao also wrote the "Five Rites", which are auspicious rites, fierce rites, guest rites, military rites, and Jia rites, covering various written etiquette norms from sacrifices, alliances, diet, men and women.

At that time, it was a tribal society, and local governance was based on the clan system. The five costumes refer to the relationship between the central government represented by the Son of Heaven and the places represented by the heads of the various ministries, while the nine clans determine the blood relations within the tribe and the division of interests and responsibilities.

Gao Tao was actually older than Chonghua, and when Emperor Yao was in power, he began this work, consulted with the elders who were in the ranks, and visited the heads of all the ministries in the world to discuss. After re-establishing himself as the Son of Heaven, he appointed Gao Tao as a priest and ordered him to complete the compilation of the Nine Canons as soon as possible, so that he could promulgate all the ministries of the world in the name of the Son of Heaven.

Gao Tao made nine classics, and not only took the historical materials handed down to him by Cangjie and compiled them behind closed doors at home. What he wants to do and what he is doing, everyone has known for a long time, and he has worked hard for many years. In the content, Gaotao and the heads of various ministries, sages and even ordinary people, have long had various discussions, listening to the opinions of all parties, in order to solve practical problems.

The world respects Gaotao and respects him as a saint. In later generations, there were often disputes over indoctrination, but they all said that "the saints preached", and the indoctrination did come from the saints.

Bo Yu replied to Cangjiezhi's question, saying that he was going to consult Gaotao. Cangjie nodded and said, "It seems that even if you are a teacher, you don't have to worry about whether Yu'er is competent and wise." If you want to go to Kamaka first, then go with your teacher.
