Chapter 30 The tutor addiction of martial arts masters

Like to be a mentor to others, probably a common problem among martial arts masters.In Jin Yong's arena, no matter how indifferent to fame and fortune, seniors who are indifferent to the world, subconsciously regard "mentor" as the ultimate career dream, and when they have the opportunity to teach others, they are happier than anything else. For example, Mr. Feng Qingyang seems to be disheartened and lives in seclusion deep in the mountains, but as soon as the student Linghu Chong came to the door, he couldn't help but come out to teach him; the senior sweeping monk in Shaolin Temple, who has been silent for forty-two years, even his language skills have deteriorated. As soon as the guests gathered, he couldn't help saying, "I have a few words, I might as well tell you a few words", and then lectured for a whole chapter, drooling like a waterfall, which was more addictive.

There is also Comrade Ren Woxing, who was imprisoned under the West Lake, lost his basic personal freedom, and still devoted himself to education. He worked hard to engrave handouts on iron boards for students to study; When he was about to die, he buried his thesis in the ground, titled "On the Three Levels of Sword Dao", and included a complete set of teaching aids such as black iron epee, and thoughtfully left behind a counselor, a divine sculpture, for future generations to review at any time . Of course, the above-mentioned teachers have strong professional abilities, and the courses they teach are all the knowledge they are best at. They can teach the Dharma well, and the apprentices are also uplifting, and they have become role models among teachers.

I'm afraid that some masters will teach indiscriminately, they are obviously practicing iron sand palms, but they insist on pretending to be light kung fu masters, and what they teach is not their specialty, which will mislead their students.There are not a few such "successful people" in the arena. The Taoist Mu Sang in the village is good at hidden weapons in footwork, but he thinks that his level of Go is extremely high, but he doesn't know that he is a bad chess basket; He is handsome and talented, but he firmly believes that he has a strong view of the overall situation, and he loves to teach people about the situation and politics of the world.

Tianshan Child Elder has a surly personality, and she can't talk well in love, but she insists on competing with Xu Zhu on the issue of spiritual cultivation, and also wants to be his love mentor; Mr. Bai Zizai's specialty is that he eats snake gall His internal strength is inherently serious, but he insists on practicing decathlon, calling himself "the great hero, great hero, great knight, and great master who is the best in swordsmanship, fist and kick, and hidden weapons in ancient and modern times." The less they are good at something, the more they like to teach others—the old lady Qiu Qianchi in the novel, relying on her kung fu of spraying dates and nails, has become one of the successful people in the world of hidden weapons.It stands to reason that if she opened a class to teach students to spit date stones and nails, she would be done. If she extended it a little bit, she would at most teach hidden weapon theory, nail shooter engineering and structure.

But Qiu Qianchi didn't think so.She feels that she has the most research on love and marriage, and stubbornly teaches her daughter an emotional marriage class: "Men in the world are just average, and you can't relax even a step when dealing with men." "Husband, husband, one foot away is not a husband." up".Doesn't she know that what she is worst at is marriage and love issues?Is there any more failure than her marriage in Jin Yong's novels?The results of her teaching can be imagined. Instead of getting love and happiness, her daughter died at a young age.

Probably after people become famous, they often feel that being a "successful person" is not enough, and they want to be spiritual mentors. Today, mentors who have turned from "successful people" are flying all over the sky, those who are engaged in philosophy, metaphysics, chicken soup for the soul, and those who say that they must be the general trend of the world. You can see the emotional hotline hosted by Qiu Qianchi and the Taoists run by Mu Sang everywhere. Chess class.Those who engage in real estate should be great Confucians, those who make movies should be masters of Buddhism, those who are quick catchers should be Ph. Poor", with a serious face.

We often hear the phrase "know yourself".In fact, it has another meaning, which is "respect yourself" - respect your own industry, respect your endowment and expertise.As long as any profession is done to the extreme, it is worthy of respect. Being an impartial catcher is not inferior to being a doctoral supervisor; being a good businessman who helps the world is far more meaningful than being a short "master".I am clearly A, so why pretend to be B. It can only be understood that this is due to a guilty conscience - the fast-moving head is afraid of being regarded as a martial artist, the last thing officials want to look vulgar and uneducated, and the businessman is afraid that he smells too strong, so they all play Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, literature, history and philosophy , but refused to really work hard to study, so they could only stew chicken soup, make excerpts, carry each other's sedan chairs, and decorate their appearance.At first, they may not have enough confidence, but when the subordinates cheered "you are so literary, the boss is really awesome", they were overjoyed, and they resolutely embarked on the road of no return to become cultural masters and spiritual mentors, drawing a chicken to eat rice , and thought it was "Phoenix Proud Intention".

Speaking of this, I suddenly thought of Xie Xun, the golden lion king.He is a true all-rounder in civil and military affairs, capable of both water and land, but after competing with Zhang Cuishan in calligraphy, facing the opponent's silver hook and iron strokes, he readily admitted defeat: "I can't write." It's a good sentence "I can't write it", Xie Lion King is magnificent after all.It doesn't matter if your calligraphy is not good, just practice your Qishangquan well, there is no shame in it.
