Chapter Seventy-Nine: Self-forgetfulness
'The cold waves are surging, and the white birds are leisurely', these two poems, the two Confucian scholars can only feel good, but where is the good, it is stronger than 'the lonely hall is closed in the spring cold, and the cuckoo is in the twilight', but they can't say why.
This is because the two of them have not yet reached this heavy realm.
However, He Zhixing and Xu Qingchang knew that Li Zhichang's two poems were not only strong in simplicity and nature, but also a kind of awakening.
They've heard this in the past, but it's not as intuitive as it is today.
Because Li Zhichang takes the branches of the trees as the vitality and the earth as the paper, with the help of the convenience of heaven and earth, the natural qi circulates.
The artistic conception is straight into the depths of their hearts through this ingenious way.
It can be said that Li Zhichang's interpretation is not only as simple as overpowering Xu Qingchang's writing, but is the first to drink, the lion roar of Zen Buddhism.
All kinds of wonderful understandings have come to an end, and in the midst of lightning and fire, the baptism of the two people's souls is by no means a simple verbal description.
This is like listening to your words, better than reading a book for ten years, Li Zhichang's deduction has made their accumulation have a qualitative change.
In fact, this is not to say that Li Zhichang is so powerful, and he can simply do it, which is better than the knowledge accumulated by the two of them after decades of hard study.
It is because the two of them have accumulated a deep foundation that they can produce wonderful insights through Li Zhichang's enlightenment.
Just like in chemistry, you have a core material, and then you can react to produce useful substances. But if you add a catalyst, you can greatly shorten the process, and the reaction speed can be increased thousands of times.
And what did the two realize? I have to start with this poem.
'But the lonely hall is closed in the cold spring, and the cuckoo is in the twilight', which is called writing the scene. In fact, it is dyed with Xu Qingchang's own feelings ~ color, which can be described as the realm of 'having me'.
Those who can do this step are worthy of the name of talents, which can be described as outstanding.
But it's not a real hero, a real scholar.
'The cold waves are surging. The white bird is leisurely', it looks extremely natural, and there is no heavy color. In the words, there is no place for me, but everything and I are one. This can be described as a realm of 'selflessness', looking at things with things. Therefore I do not know who it is. What is a thing?
This is the realm of selflessness and forgetfulness, and it is extremely clever.
There is a natural difference between the realm of 'self' and the realm of 'selfless'.
'With me', we can't forget ourselves, and what one person sees has limitations.
And 'selflessness' is to look at things with things, everywhere, everywhere.
Able to work from a variety of angles. Take a correct view of the truth of nature between heaven and earth, and go further. You will be able to perceive the changes of heaven and earth, the operation of the universe, and become a piece of heaven and earth, with its own indelible truth.
It can be said that being able to write 'with me' is certainly a talent, but it is limited to one side. If you can write 'selfless', you can be called a hero and a watch for all generations.
Whether this 'cold waves are surging, and the white bird is leisurely' is not made by Li Zhichang, it doesn't matter at all, the important thing is that Li Zhichang sees through the limitations of Xu Qingchang's realm, and his mind and bearing are naturally above Xu Qingchang.
The so-called third-rate characters are more powerful than strength, and second-rate characters are more intelligent than intelligence, and only outstanding characters can be open-minded and go to places where others can't go.
"Qi science believes that everything in the world is made of qi, and matter and void are just different forms of qi. Only by comprehending qi can we master the way of heaven and humanity. Li Zhichang just now is using 'the cold waves are surging, and the white birds are leisurely down' to depict a heaven and earth, a mountain and a river, in the final analysis, not detached from the realm of Taoist selflessness, not detached from the feelings of transcending things, and all this is based on the evolution of qi.
The artistic conception of calligraphy can be described as vast and unpredictable, which shows Li Zhichang's strength. ”
He Zhixing looked at Li Zhichang, and his heart couldn't help but become more cautious.
Xu Qing grew up generous, bowed his hand, and said: "These ten years have been like a dream, and I didn't wake up until today, all thanks to Brother Li." ”
Li Zhichang accepted the other party's salute and did not shy away from it, he could afford it, but he did not accept it, but he was disrespectful to Xu Qingchang.
just replied lightly: "With Brother Xu's talent, he will be able to understand this in the future, and if it weren't for characters like Brother Xu and Brother He, others might not be able to understand anything. ”
"Having said that, if there is no Brother Li, I don't know how many detours I have to take and how much time I have to waste. Xu Qingchang couldn't help but sigh.
He Zhixing smiled and said: "This matter should be passed on to future generations, and I can participate in it today, I have to say, with the light of Brother Xu and Brother Li, the outside is not the place to speak, please follow in." ”
The two Confucian students who followed He Zhixing watched the two of them change their attitudes towards Li Zhichang, and summed it up, although they didn't know why, they felt so powerful.
With Li Zhichang's attitude, he couldn't help but be a lot more respectful.
After all, Fengshan Academy is not a place where anyone can come, and the Confucian students in it may not all be well-versed in the world, but they will never be stupid.
Even if they had some disdain for Xu Qingchang before, they would not make a slap in the face or ridicule in person.
The group entered the academy in a short time.
Both Xiao Wu and Xiang'er entered the Confucian Academy for the first time, and they were very curious.
Xiao Wucai learned to connect the vitality of heaven and earth, and his five senses were keen, and he felt the difference here. The vitality here seemed to be very strong, and he tried to urge the mental method, but the vitality only went around the body once, and he didn't keep half a minute.
He was secretly surprised, but he saw He Zhixing smiling at him, which made him confused.
It turned out that this Confucian academy was originally built in a barren land.
The mountain is not high, there are fairies and spirits.
Although this Confucian academy is full of vitality in heaven and earth, it is because of people.
It is the former sages and great Confucians, who lectured day and night, comprehended the heaven and earth, and the laws evolved naturally, and later more and more scholars studied, and subtly, they affected the surrounding environment and formed this unique place.
Although this vitality is strong, it follows its master and is full of the legal principles of the Qi school.
Xiao Wu is different from literature and ink, and he has no law of qi in his heart, so he can't echo the vitality of this heaven and earth.
Therefore, although the place where this kind of great academy is located is excellent, there are no cultivators around, because it is impossible to practice here.
If one day, everyone opens up the wisdom of the people, has the principle of self-perseverance, and the literature and thinking converge, the more difficult it is to tolerate ghosts and gods.
All immortals, demons, bodhisattvas, cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods will be filled with Dharma and literature because of the vitality between heaven and earth, and they cannot be manipulated and lose their supernatural powers.
At that time, it was the peak of humanity, and it can also be called the world of the end of the law.
Heavenly Dao is humane, one prosperous and one declining, in ancient times, the way of heaven flourished, so the humane road was blue, and later the medieval princes, the great prosperity of humanity, there was the decline of the ancient qi practitioners, forming a situation where the heavens and humanity are now standing side by side.
However, if it continues to develop, humanity will eventually overpower the way of heaven, and in the era of the end of the law, this is also a helpless thing. (To be continued......)
