421 Heaven and man and five decays
There is a mixture of things, born from nature. Lonely, independent and unchanging, circumferential and not dying, can be the mother of heaven and earth. I don't know its name, the word is the way, and the name of the strong is big. The big is gone, the past is far away, and the far is reversed. Therefore, the road is big, the sky is big, the earth is big, and the king is big. There are four great domains, and the king is one of them. Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature.
The sun is full and the moon is full and the moon is eclipsing! Heaven and earth are not long, let alone people?
Since Pangu opened the heavens and the earth, all things have been endless, and in the long run, there will be trouble! All things have their own laws of survival, and heaven and earth are no exception! As a result, it triggered and intensified the contradictions between the two clans of the Lich King, and a great destruction of the world by the Lich, but the spirit of heaven and earth has its own proposition: the 'Six Realms of Reincarnation' have been deduced.
In order to ensure the constancy of the six realms, a heavenly tribulation was laid out.
Since then, between heaven and earth: there is no constant length, no constant strength, no constant ning, no constant fighting, no permanent existence. If there are beings in the six realms, they will be exhausted and extinguished; After that, it was born again, and everything started from scratch.
Gods, Buddhas, humans, ghosts, and demons cannot escape.
Therefore, there is also the saying of 'five decays of heaven and man'.
The so-called 'five decays of heaven and man' refer to the various visions that appear when the life span of living beings in the six realms is about to end. There are five decays: big five decays and small five decays.
The small five decays are the "decay of the flat surface", and the appearance of the small five decays will not endanger life for the time being; However, it is a sign of the arrival of the Great Five Decays.
The specific content of the small five decays is: the decline of spiritual power, the decline of clothing, the decline of wisdom, the decline of understanding, and the decline of Fahua.
The decline of spiritual power: All beings in the six realms have spiritual power, but the strength is different. However, when the five decays of heaven and man come, whether it is the gods and Buddhas of the heavenly realm, or the demons and ghosts of the earth realm, their spiritual power will begin to fail.
The decay of the clothes and the surface: the so-called 'Buddha wants gold, people want clothes' smooth and bright appearance is a manifestation of vitality, but when the five decays of heaven and man come. The appearance of living beings will first wither. The glow that the body naturally emits gradually fades.
The Decline of Wisdom: The Decline of Wisdom. Begin to fall in love with something.
Decline of comprehension: The ability to participate in comprehension is gradually declining.
The Decline of the Lotus Sect: The six realms of beings are all protected by the Lotus given by Pangu, and at the same time, the Lotus prevents the six realms from interfering with each other. But at the time of the five decays, the Lotus declined until it disappeared. Creatures that have lost the protection of the Lotus are exposed to the Six Realms and can be easily killed. The so-called Lotus is embodied in Buddha as 'Buddha Light', in God as 'Divine Protection', and in God as 'Human Fire'.
And the 'Great Five Declines' are the real Five Declines of Heaven and Man. When the catastrophe becomes, all living beings are inevitable. There are five kinds of decays: the decay of the internal law, the decay of the spirit bone, the decay of the qi, the decline of the primordial spirit, and the decay of life.
The Decline of the Inner Law: It is a protective force that is fixed in the bodies of the six realms of living beings, maintaining the balance of the five elements within the living beings. When the internal law is exhausted, the five elements of living beings are chaotic and upside down, and the suffering is unspeakable.
The Decline of the Spirit Bone: The 'Spirit Bone' is the proof of the identity of the six realms of beings. Gods have 'divine bones', immortals have 'immortal bones', and the spiritual bones decline, and living beings will lose the minimum basis for survival, and become intolerable.
The decay of the spirit: that is, the vitality of the living beings.
The decline of the primordial gods: It is the exhaustion of the three souls and seven spirits.
The decline of life: It means that the longevity is about to end.
"Doctor, didn't you say that this old man is fine?" In the office of the attending doctor of the hospital, Qin Lan, the eldest sister Mu Xueyan, and the mother of the child said impatiently after listening to the attending doctor's introduction of the condition.
The attending doctor said slowly: "It's hard to say! What if he hit his head when he landed? If such a flower wakes up, it is really impossible to predict! It can be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow; It's okay next year, or the year after that, it's hard to say!"
Looking at the attending doctor's appearance of swallowing clouds and spitting fog, Qin Lan was on fire, and now when he heard him say this, he couldn't help but say, "Next year, the year after tomorrow, why don't you say ten years, decades later?"
"Hahaha......" The attending doctor couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Then you will raise the bar! Although this patient has all the organs of his body in good health, no matter how he looks at it, he will not live for a few years!"
"How did you talk as a doctor?" Today, the child's mother directly handed over the child to her mother-in-law, just to seek justice for her child's life-saving benefactor! Now when she heard the attending doctor say this, she immediately became unwilling: "Obviously, you just said that the patient's physical indicators are very good! Now why do you say that people don't live long? You are talking so irresponsibly, I will immediately complain to you!"
"Don't you be angry with this lady?" the attending doctor grinned, not at all afraid of her complaint: "Let me ask you! Do you know how old that old gentleman is?"
"Cut~" The child's mother said dissatisfiedly: "This old man is just a beggar near our community, I don't even know what his surname is, how can I know how old he is?
"But I didn't know how old he was!" said the attending doctor, staring at the child's mother.
"If you know, you know! What's the big deal!" The child's mother said unconvinced.
"It's amazing!" The attending doctor said smugly, "Do you know how difficult it is? I want to take a single hair from this old man? Obviously very soft hair, no matter what you use, just keep cutting it." In the end, the hard work paid off and I was able to collect some dandruff ......"
"Cut ......"
The three women couldn't help but look disdainful at the same time, but the attending doctor didn't care about this, and continued: "But I found out his DNA with these dandruffs, and finally found out his bone age. ”
After saying that, the attending doctor couldn't help but be disappointed when he looked at the expressions of the three women, but he couldn't help asking: "Don't you wonder about his age? This is the result of my secret research behind the back of the hospital! Isn't it worth making people suspect a person who was hit by a car and flew more than ten meters without being injured?"
Suddenly, Qin Lan's appetite was raised, and he asked curiously, "Then how old is he this year?"
"Bone age 143!" The attending doctor said proudly.
"Cut!" After hearing this, Qin Lan said disapprovingly: "It's only over 100 years old? I thought I was another person who was afraid of the Guinness World Record! The world's longest-lived person -- from China -- was 256 years old! This is no longer news!"
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the longest-lived person reported is Li Qingyuan, a Chinese longevity qigong health practitioner, who was born in the 18th year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty and died in the 24th year of the Republic of China (1679-1935) at the age of 256. Li Qingyuan, originally from Yunnan Province, settled in Kaixian County, Sichuan Province in his 90s, where he remained until his death.
Liu Chengxun, a native of Kaixian County, Sichuan Province, made a special trip to visit the old man in 1925, and Liu's interview and reminiscence article was published in the sixth issue of Qigong magazine in 1986, and at the same time, it was also published with about 1,000 words of 'immortality' dictated by the birthday star Li Qingyuan. After the death of the old man, some newspapers in Beijing reported it with the title of "the longest-lived man on earth", but it was doubted and denied by the "Guinness Book of World Records" at the time, and it was later confirmed after many researches.
According to 2000 statistics, there are 10,000 centenarians in China; According to the latest statistics of the United Nations, the world's elderly population is 629 million, accounting for 10%, and in 2002, there were about 210,000 centenarians in the world, with an average of 33.39 per million.
Gong Laifa of Guizhou, China, was 147 years old when he died in 1996; Li Qinglian, a medicine collector from Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan, was 154 years old when he died; Muhsin, an old Iranian woman, was 161 years old in 1997; and a man named Manping in Japan had a longevity of 242 years, a wife of 221 years, a son of 196 years, a daughter-in-law of 193 years, a grandson of 151 years, and a granddaughter-in-law of 138 years. Li Qingyuan, a Chinese scholar of traditional Chinese medicine, died in 1933 at the age of 256.
The above proves that it is beyond reproach that a person has lived to be 100 years old, or even 200 years old. According to the "Xinmin Evening News": According to the history books, the world's longest-lived person is Ferm Kahn of the United Kingdom, who lived 209 years and experienced 12 dynasties (but strangely it is not recorded in the "Guinness World Records" published in the United Kingdom, the author's note).
How long is the average life expectancy?
Scientists believe that it can be measured by the following methods: first, it is measured according to the age of sexual maturity, which is 10 times that of 14-15 years old, that is, 140-150 years old, second, it is calculated according to the age of growth, which is 7 times that of 20-25 years old, that is, 140-175 years old, and third, it is calculated according to the number of cell divisions, which is 50 times multiplied by the average cycle of each cell division of 2.4 years, that is, 120 years old.
In February 1994, at a symposium on "Molecular Views of Aging" held in Berlin, Germany, more than 40 life scientists answered the question "How long do people live?" that everyone can theoretically live up to 110 years old.
"Qin Lan, why are you talking? I don't care if this beauty talks about you, can't you talk well?" Mu Xueyan counted a few words down Qin Lan, and then said to the attending doctor very respectfully, "Doctor, what do you think we should do now?"
"Ahem!" After the attending doctor measured Li Tian's bone age, he forgot everything excitedly, and after Qin Lan's first drink, he remembered that '143 years old' was really nothing! So, he settled down and said: "This old gentleman has confirmed that there is no major problem! Our hospital means to see if we can discharge him first, after all, the hospital beds are still very tight!"
"Then what's going on!" the child's mother was reluctant: "This old man doesn't have a fixed residence, where do you let him live?"
"Isn't it just a matter of beds? Qin Lan said disdainfully: "That's it! You still let him move into the intensive care ward! I will pay all the expenses! Sister is not bad for money!"
"Uh~uh~" The attending doctor was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
"Lan Lan, what are you talking about? Did you take gunpowder today?" Mu Xueyan scolded angrily. Then, embarrassed, he said to the attending doctor, "Sorry, doctor, we will go through the discharge procedures for him, you don't have to be embarrassed!"
