Chapter 45 everything is nothing

If Wang Yuzhun, who hid in the cave of Siming Mountain, also met a boring idler like Wang Shouren, went into the cave to chat with him, and talked about those fortune tellers who walked around the streets, guess what Wang Yuzhun would say ? Wang Yuzhun will definitely come up with this sentence: fortune-teller magic horses are all floating clouds... Why do you say that? Because Wang Yuzhun is the master who has truly mastered metaphysics and numerology, but what is the use of mastering these unscrupulous trivial knowledge?It is nothing more than calculating where the needle of Donglin's family fell, and why the chickens of Youshe's family did not lay eggs.If you don't bullshit for everyone, everyone won't end up with you.No, Wang Yuzhun was forced to hide in a hole and pretend to be a mouse because he didn't want to count the trivialities.

As for Wang Shouren, he heard a sentence similar to this with his own ears at the peak of the Dizang Cave in Mount Jiuhua. Because the essentials of Buddhism and elders in Beiyan gradually reached Confucianism, he said: "Zhou Lianxi and Cheng Mingdao are two good scholars of Confucianism." He also said: "Zhu Kaoting is a lecturer, but he has not yet reached the highest level." Listen, the weirdo at the peak said: Zhou Dunyi and Cheng Hao are okay, but Zhu Xi is much worse, and he hasn't entered the room yet... Zhou Dunyi mentioned by the weirdo is the originator of Confucianism.His most famous work is the prose "Ai Lian Shuo", in which the famous sentence "Out of the mud but not stained", which is familiar to almost every Chinese, but who would have thought that this "Ai Lian Shuo" is It coincides with the scriptures and meanings of "Hua Yan Jing Tan Xuan Ji", and constitutes a complete and rigorous Confucian ideological system with his "Tai Chi Tu Shuo".What's terrible is that this Confucian ideological system evolved from the Taoist Taiji diagram—but in fact, the Taiji diagram originated from the first of the Six Classics of Confucianism. It has become a conclusion, but at this time, it was suddenly snatched away from Confucianism and dragged into the door of Taoism. All of this was originally to create a way for Wang Shouren's school of thought, so as to mislead future generations, so that you can follow it. This way, but it can only become more and more confused.

You must know that all wisdom will meet at the ultimate point of philosophy. Whether it comes from Confucianism, Taoism, or Buddhism, the end point is the systematic thinking and cognition formed by thinking about the three ultimate questions. We raised these three questions as early as when Wang Shouren Gezhu collapsed from exhaustion on the seventh day: First question: who am I? (self conscious) Second question: what is the other? (Social awareness) The third question: what is the universe? (natural awareness) All problems in life are the transformation of these three problems.If you don’t understand these three issues, you will not understand your life, and you will fall into extreme pain.Thousands of Confucian books, thousands of volumes of Buddhist scriptures, and pots of pills of Taoism are all aimed at finding the answers to these three questions.Once someone really thinks through these three questions, he will immediately be at the pinnacle of wisdom.At this time, if you look up and down, you will find that regardless of Confucianism, Buddhism, or Taoism, they are all small paths extending from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and all the ends are at the peak of wisdom formed by the answers to these three questions meet.

Therefore, for those who have not considered these three issues clearly, it is purely self-indulgent to talk about getting through the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.The three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism do not have the theory of opening up. You only have to work hard on the road of wisdom. Unless you reach the top of the mountain, otherwise, any time you look back, you will only see a vast expanse. What the long-haired weirdo on the top of the peak said meant: Zhou Dunyi and Cheng Hao, when it comes to the three ultimate issues in life, they are still a little bit wise.Zhu Xi was far behind, so poor Master Zhu was scolded to death.

So, on these three issues, what exactly do Zhou Dunyi and Cheng Hao have to say? There was such an incident that Cheng Hao, a master of Neo Confucianism, and his younger brother Cheng Yi, went out to dinner together.When I was going out, I saw a beautiful beauty coming in front of me, and my brother Cheng Hao bulged his eyes and shouted: "Wow, what a beautiful beauty, I like you so much... my brother Cheng Yi is watching." , dumbstruck with astonishment. When it was time for the dinner, brother Cheng Hao talked and laughed happily, eating and drinking like crazy.The younger brother, Cheng Yi, was frowning and worried.The elder brother asked him: Hey, what's the matter with you, why don't you eat or drink?

Cheng Yidao: Brother, we are people of learning, what we pay attention to is to establish a destiny for the world, to establish a heart for the people, to inherit the knowledge of the past, and to create peace for all generations.But look at your appearance today, a beautiful woman on the road made you look like brother pig, how can you stand up for the world with your appearance? Cheng Hao was shocked: I put that beauty down a long time ago, why do you still keep her in your heart? The story of Dacheng and Xiaocheng loving beautiful women has a similar version in Buddhism.There is usually an explanation called letting go, which means that as long as you let go of the obsession in your heart, life will be much happier-but you don’t even know what’s going on with yourself, you don’t know what’s going on with beauties, you and beauties You don't even know the relationship between you, you don't know anything, and it's hard to even pick it up, so how can you put it down?
