Chapter 9 Good or bad is not in the bird's voice

Sister Lian called and said that outside the window a few gray magpies were sitting on the branches of the poplar and chirping, which made her feel very comfortable. She also raised the phone to the window and asked me if I heard it.She once told me that she wants to enlarge the pleasant things in life as much as possible, while minimizing the negative things as much as possible. Magpies make her feel very auspicious, but crows make her not think about ominous omens.She used the magpie's joyful cry to adjust her psychology. Sister Lian's hearing of magpies and Daoji can be regarded as a kind of "little superstition".This kind of "little superstition" is actually a kind of self-psychological secret.

shows that most people in society have.Even very great people may have some interest in divination in certain small periods of their lives and under certain circumstances. It obscures and disturbs scientific and rational thinking, generally speaking, there is no harm, and it can even add some playful flexibility to over-tightened psychological strings. Chinese Han people do not have a unified religious belief, and a large number of them have no religious belief.Having no religious beliefs does not mean that benign concepts cannot be used as a glue to integrate individual life with nature, the way of heaven, society, and groups.In our historical tradition, there are ideological resources such as Confucianism, Legalism, and Taoism that can be transformed and utilized. It is wrong to accept them all or smash them with a stick. We should discard the dross, extract the essence, inject external nutrition, and make comprehensive use. Give it a brand new glow.Suddenly I thought of Lin Daiyu in the novel, this is an outstanding woman who has the same rebellious feelings as Jia Baoyu in attacking feudal ethics, and sometimes even behaves braver and more decisively than Jia Baoyu.She once said to Jia Baoyu: "Life and death have their own destiny. Wealth and honor are in the sky, and they cannot be strengthened by human power." Essence, showing extraordinary calmness in the face of adversity in life, which also became the source of courage for her to fight for the freedom of love and marriage.This detail was written by Cao Xueqin.I think Gao E's sequel is generally bad, but the two lines of dialogue he set for Lin Daiyu are not bad.One sentence is Lin Daiyu said: "As far as family matters, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind." This sentence was praised by Mao Zedong, and it was used as a metaphor for the struggle between the two lines. It was popularized as a popular language around the 1960s. Songs like "East Wind Blows" have also appeared.As far as Lin Daiyu is concerned, being able to say this means that she is "clear" about the power struggle in the feudal family and is very rational.Another sentence is said after hearing the old ostrich croaking a few times outside the eaves: "There are good and bad things about people, and they are not in the bird's voice."

Science and reason are the core of human civilization.Science is still developing, and human beings are indeed facing many fields that contemporary science has not yet deciphered, and if they are not deciphered, mysterious effects will occur.Human rationality needs to be expanded and accommodated, and if it is not expanded, fallacies and heresies will take advantage of it.Some people play the banner of "Oriental mysticism", do not pay attention to precise scientific evidence, but are keen on vague grasp, and do not implement digital management and fall into ambiguity and perfunctory, which is very dangerous. On November 5, 2001, "Shenzhen Special Zone Daily" had "Why did Spring Capital fall into trouble?" "A report said that after the blind expansion of Chundu Group, which originally specialized in the production of ham sausages, it turned from profit to loss. Investment decisions, as small as the direction of the leader's business trip and the orientation of the office door, are all subject to the good and bad judgments of the "master". In 1997, after the group's decline was exposed, all cadres above the middle level were arranged to listen to the "ideas" from the "masters". As a result, hundreds of production lines in Chundu have been shut down, with a loss of 670 million yuan and a debt of 1.3 billion yuan. .As far as I know, some large foreign companies, especially some entrepreneurs in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, also invite "Mr. Feng Shui" to supplement the deficiencies of empirical science with "Oriental mysticism", but those are just like Sister Lian. The main meaning of the "little superstition" is to balance the mind, to deal with the treacherous side of the world situation, and not to be completely immersed in the vortex of big superstition like the CEO of Chundu Group.It seems that Chundu Group should introduce more white-collar workers like Lin Daiyu, who have a healthy spirit of "good or bad is not in the bird's voice" - of course, the body should be better than sister Lin - and let them enter the leadership; Cao Xueqin once wrote , Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu discussed in private: "Our family spends too much. Although I don't care about things, I am always free. I will do the calculation for you. If you don't save more, you will end up with no one. Pick it up." She is also a digital management talent with a statistical mind!

Let’s go back to Sister Lian’s most common social existence, whether it’s retired, salaried workers, or laid-off brothers and sisters, as well as ordinary white-collar workers, school students, including those still in rural areas and arriving Farmers who work in cities, facing the realities of life with many unknowns, we must have a rational tree in our hearts. Under this premise, we can accommodate a little "little superstition" flowers and plants, but it is best to To be able to have a thorough materialistic belief like Lin Daiyu: "There are good and bad things for people, not in the bird's voice." No matter where the evil seeds come from, they can consciously resist it if they want to plant a big superstitious banner in our hearts.
