Chapter 15 The Theory of Martial Arts
In the twenty hours since Dianhua traveled, although he often saw the tea bowl, and the tea bowl was always stocked, he really never drank a sip.
Unexpectedly, the first time I drank it, I found that this tea was completely different from the tea in my cognition, it was not clear tea, but soup tea.
In the past, I read historical novels and learned that making tea began to appear after the Ming Dynasty, and the Tang and Song dynasties used to be mainly boiling tea.
When boiling tea, spices such as green onions, ginger, and garlic are placed in it, and condiments such as salt, soy sauce, and vinegar are also placed in it, as well as Chinese medicinal materials such as licorice and wolfberry as ingredients, and it is more like tea soup than tea. That's why Dianhua calls it soup tea.
It's not that this soup tea is not delicious, it can only be said that it is completely different from the tea in Dianhua's cognition, and the disgust caused by the gap between reality and cognition is too large.
After letting go of the disgust and being mentally prepared, I tasted it slowly and found that the taste was still very good, but it seemed that the ginger flavor was stronger.
Qi Yu saw Dian Hua's frowning action when he drank tea, and said apologetically: "Dao Chang can't get used to my tea, right?!" My body is relatively weak, so I put more ginger." ”
Because it is a soup tea, everyone has their own preferences, and the taste of the same tea is different due to the type and proportion of condiments.
Dian Hua took another sip: "The ginger flavor is indeed heavier, but fortunately, the weight of the poor road is still within the acceptable range." ”
'This Dianhua Taoist is really direct. And if he doesn't abide by etiquette, has no scruples, is confident, detached, and free and easy, it is really possible that he is not a liar, but a master of the Tao with real skills. ’
I heard that my father valued this person very much, and even gave Qi Zhang's face for this, severely punished Qingfeng, and even drove him back to the villa.
If he had real skills, it would be no wonder that his father would have taken this person so seriously and courteously. ’
Looking at the elder of Dian Hua Dao, who was about seventeen or eighteen years old, his lips were red and white, and his face was white and beardless.
I sighed again in my heart: 'It is really rare for such a young person to attain the Dao!'
It's rare, but it's not impossible.
There are always talented people who can achieve the achievements of others for decades at a young age.
Such a genius, from all walks of life, reading and practicing martial arts, is not uncommon in history, even in contemporary times.
Qi Yu shook his head and smiled: "If the Dao Leader likes it, drink more, there is a big pot here." ”
"But the poor way is disrespectful. ”
Qi Yu stopped talking and began to concentrate on reading. Dian Hua drank another bowl of tea, stopped talking, and began to read the borrowed book "Theory of Martial Arts".
The first time I used bamboo slips to read, I was really not used to it. Bamboo slips are so heavy, vertically from top to bottom, from right to left to read good and awkward, the word and "paper" are the same color, and it is easy to be dizzy after looking at it for a long time......
With the reading habits of modern society, after reading it once, Dianhua's feeling is: so boring, easy to dry, like a running account, I can't understand it, and I have a bad review!
It's the same as drinking soup tea for the first time, it's all kinds of awkwardness and all kinds of unaccustomedness.
However, fortunately, more than a dozen bamboo slips weighing nearly ten pounds are actually not many words.
With the previous reading habits, it only took me five or six minutes to read through it and I had a general framework in mind. I determined that the content in it was exactly what I was looking for, a discussion of the evolutionary history of martial arts.
Put down the bamboo slips, glanced at them, there was only one bamboo slip in his hand, Qi Yu, who was still reading repeatedly, Dian Hua's anxious heart gradually calmed down.
It's a journey to another world, and it's normal to be a little unaccustomed to life. ’
Don't think that you can live in modern society before you pass through and live in modern society, the wisdom of ancient people is no worse than that of modern people, these customs of theirs must have their own reason, put down the shelf, follow the customs, and take your time!'
Because of the difficulty of "writing", bamboo slips are different from modern times, and they are particularly concise.
Classical Chinese in high school is a few words that can be translated into a long paragraph, so to read bamboo slips, you need to read slowly, ponder slowly, and ...... slowly Product.
Calm down, read slowly, it took half an hour to finish the second reading, but unlike the first time I didn't know what to do, there was a sense of unfinished.
To put it clearly, the first time I only read one hundred and two, and I didn't know what to say at all, then the second time I read Dianhua and understood three or four out of ten.
It may be that the precise translation of some "words" is a little imprecise, and you can only know a general meaning in relation to the context, but it does not affect the reading comprehension.
Different from the "Tao Te Ching", which discusses philosophical thoughts, the "Theory of Performing Martial Arts" for the purpose of studying martial arts and recording the evolution of martial arts uses very clear words and examples, so you only need to read three or four out of ten to read the whole book.
According to Qi Hong's research in "The Theory of Martial Arts", he believes that the origin of martial arts is man's natural worship, imitation and even confrontation with the invincible fierce birds and beasts in nature.
It's just that with the continuous development of the times, martial arts are becoming more and more in line with human beings, and they are getting farther and farther away from their original intentions, and they have been changed beyond recognition.
These are the first few sentences of "On Martial Arts", which can be regarded as the main thesis of the book, and the next step is to discuss and give examples to verify.
It feels very similar to the format of the paper, but it is not as mature and rigid as the paper, and the format is obvious.
However, it can also be seen that the author's thinking is clear and logical.
The understanding of Dianhua is ......
Qi Hong closely combined the evolution of martial arts with human civilization, and the three major explosions of martial arts corresponded to the three forms of human civilization.
In primitive society, in ancient times, when hunting was a living, the martial arts studied for survival were all imitations of fierce birds and beasts.
In the slave society, in ancient times, which was dominated by agriculture, the martial arts studied for life and survival mostly imitated animals that were tamed by humans, such as cows, horses, pigs, and so on.
In contemporary times, since the great unification two hundred years ago, human beings have begun to have a high degree of self-confidence, began to be people-oriented, taking human beings themselves as the object of research and imitation, and martial arts and martial arts have begun to satisfy people's various desires.
A large number of martial arts and martial arts that are widely circulated among the people but are not very powerful, the entry is extremely fast, the resource consumption is relatively light, but the effect is very good.
For example, the "Strengthening the Body" that men practice the most can make the body strong, the "Yang Yan Gong" that women practice the most can make the beauty and beauty of the beauty, and the martial arts that practice the most martial arts - "Shen Xingbu" and so on.
After reading this book "Theory of Martial Arts", Dian Hua has a clear concept of martial arts in this world, and he no longer knows anything.
The unknown is the most frightening thing.
After having a certain understanding of martial arts and a clear concept of martial arts in his heart, although the martial arts master is still the original martial arts master, Dian Hua no longer feels uneasy about this world.
It feels like everything is within the realm of "science", and although it is a bit too powerful, it is understandable.
