Chapter 68 The Folk Compatriots and Things

Zhang Zai is a native of Shaanxi, and when he was young, he had the ambition to regain his homeland in China by practicing martial arts. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info When Fan Zhongyan was passing through the northwest, he also went to visit. Fan Zhongyan saw that he had an extraordinary bearing and excellent knowledge, so he persuaded him to abandon martial arts and follow literature, and said: The courage of a puppet can only kill and injure a few people, and only by mastering the principles of heaven and earth can he govern the country and the country. When Zhang Zai heard this, he returned to his hometown to study hard, and in the past few decades, he founded the Guanxue lineage.

Zhang Zai's most important thought is to develop the traditional "gasification cosmology"; what he is most admired for is his lofty ambition to "establish a heart for heaven and earth"; and the subtle few hundred characters of "Ximing" integrate the Confucian "benevolence" and the Mohist "concurrent love" and add a strong touch to the construction of the ideal of Datong.

Mao Zheng read a few hundred words of "Ximing", and couldn't calm down for a long time, recalling his experience in the past more than a year, the reason why he fell into the catastrophe step by step was also because his heart was not good enough and his mind was not broad enough.

"I thought I could make a difference in this world with my own strength. But after all, I forgot that talent must be nourished by virtue in order to give full play to it. There is a great road in the world, but the avenue is not empty and unsettled, and this landing is 'people', and there is nothing more intimate in this world than 'people'. For more than a year, my mind has been full of achievements, but I have forgotten the most important things. Mao Zheng said the stuffiness in his chest, and he also had mixed feelings for a while.

"Oh, I think brother, you have a lot of feelings, I don't know if you can tell me about it? Mr. Zhang's words are so difficult to understand that I can't understand how I think about it. Brother, tell me about it, maybe I also have the opportunity to practice the desire knife to the next level. Lu Feng asked eagerly.

"Brother Lu, I do have some feelings, but my heart is very uncalm now, and I really can't say anything. If you don't let me be quiet, I'll tell you more about it someday. Mao Zheng replied.

"That's no problem, I'll let you two go and stay here. There are no good things in our mountain and wild places, and there are places where hospitality is not good, so you have to take care of it. Lu Feng said enthusiastically.

"There, there, Brother Lu is polite. Mao Zheng thanked him back.

So Mao Zheng and Liang Duoxun lived in this village. The people in the village, when they heard that Mao Zheng came from the Guannei, asked him what the outside world was like, and some things that were very common in Mao Zheng's mouth became rare in the eyes of the people in the village.

Lu Feng and a few knowledgeable people in the village also often come to Mao Zheng to talk about some things, seeing that Mao Zheng is young, his views on everything are very unique, and everyone has a sense of respect.

"Brother Mao, you said earlier that as long as you can be broad-minded, you can restrain your desires and turn your desires into love for others. This is really difficult to understand, I don't know if Brother Mao Zheng can explain it in detail. Lu Feng asked.

"Okay, so I'll give you an example. Let me ask you, what would you do if your relatives and friends took more when they divided things?"

"What else, just say a few words about him, after all, they are all a family, so you can't just do it for this. Lu Feng replied.

"If the Hu and Qiang people outside the village snatch a sheep from you, what will you do?" asked Mao Zheng again.

When a bearded man heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he said angrily: "What else, of course I have to snatch it back." Not only do we have to snatch it back, but we also have to kill that kid and let others know that we are not easy to bully. ”

"Fourth brother, don't talk so rudely? Brother Mao is a scholar, so we can't let people look down on us. Lu Feng said to the big man.

"I'm not wrong, haven't we all done this before?" said the big man, and then he said no more.

Lu Feng thought for a while, and then replied: "My fourth brother is also rough, if he is bullied by others, of course he must get it back as it is." We are in a very remote place, but there is no government to administer justice for us. If we lose a sheep today, we don't care about it, if we let others know that we are easy to bully, tomorrow our family may be wiped out. ”

"Brother Lu is right, but let me ask you, why is there such a difference? Why do your relatives and friends take more and take more, and everyone only complains a little, but when outsiders take your things, everyone has to fight with them? What is the difference?"

"Brother Mao is right, if something happens between relatives and friends, everything is easy to say. But if there is a conflict with outsiders, it will really make things bigger. Why can I endure it in the front, but I can't help it in the back? I really don't understand this. Lu Feng said.

"Okay, I'll give you another example. What will you do if your children are disrespectful to their elders and see that the old people in the village not only do not salute, but bully them with their youth and strength?" asked Mao Zheng.

"Fuck, it's the other way around, if my little cubs dare to be disrespectful to their elders, see if I don't break their legs. The big man couldn't help but say again.

"Fourth brother, you're impulsive again. Lu Feng hurriedly stopped, and then he replied: "Brother Mao Zheng, my Han family has its own etiquette, and the most important thing in the etiquette is the word ancestor. Of course, children, sometimes they are not sensible, who didn't be willful a few times when they were young? You can't be like the fourth brother said, you have to beat people at every turn. First of all, we must invite the respected elders in the village to teach them, if they do not change their teachings, then they will no longer be forgiven, and they can directly sweep these unscrupulous children and grandchildren out of the house. ”

"Brother Lu is right, educate first and then impose punishment. Those few people think about it, why relatives and friends take more and occupy more, at most they complain. And if you don't respect your elders, you can sweep the floor out?" Mao Zheng asked again.

The others looked at each other, as if they had realized something, but they didn't know what to say when they opened their mouths. Only Lu Feng lowered his eyebrows and pondered, and then his eyes lit up.

"Brother Lu doesn't know anything, you might as well say it. Mao Zheng said with a smile.

Lu Feng also smiled and replied: "I think the reason why we are tolerant internally and strict externally is because our entire village is a whole. In order to maintain the existence of this big family, we should be more tolerant of each other, and in the face of foreign enemies that will endanger our big family, we will not tolerate it, and it is also for the sake of protecting everyone in this village.

"We can be tolerant of taking more and taking more, but we will never be tolerant of deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors, just because this is the root of our Han family. We have a common ancestry, we live on a common land, so we are a family. If all this is corrupted, everyone sweeps the snow in front of their doors, and faces all kinds of external troubles, who will be able to live a stable life?"
