Chapter 100 Chapter Four

Banu Day continues to celebrate creditors and debtors "Conversely, please imagine another world, a world where everyone lends and borrows, and everyone is a debtor and a creditor. "At that time, how harmonious the regular movement of the universe will be! Like Plato, I can hear the harmonious voice①. How harmonious the elements are with each other! How smoothly the work and production of nature! Cyrus ②In charge of food; Bagus in charge of wine; Flora ③ in charge of flowers; Pomona ④ in charge of fruit; Juno stays in the clear space, quiet, healthy and comfortable. I am fascinated by it. The relationship between people peace, fraternity, harmony, faithfulness, rest, banquets, feasts, pleasure, joy, gold, silver, coins, gold chains, rings, and all kinds of goods. No quarrels, no battles, no disputes; Great profit and exploitation, stealing and greed, stinginess and petty greed, selfishness. The true God, this is not entering the holy dynasty of the golden age, not entering the fairy paradise where there is no evil force, only benevolence, supreme, supreme, supreme, and noble Have you met your ideal? All people are kind, friendly, and just. What a happy world! Oh, people in a happy world, people who are three times or four times happier⑤! I seem to feel that I am already a person in this world. I can assure you, in the name of the good God, that if in this world, this happy world, everyone would lend his all and stop being selfish, then the pope, with the help of many cardinals, would Now, add to his holy cardinal university, and within a few years you will see more and more efficacious saints, more teaching histories, more blessings, more priests, more There are more candles than the nine dioceses of Brittany combined, except Saint-Yves.

"I ask you to think, when the venerable Bartram flattered, flattered, and exalted Giomo Russomo to the third heaven, he said nothing but this: He lends his goods to anyone who comes to ask for a loan ② "How well said! Take this as an example, and you imagine our little world again, the idest ③ people, people and parts of the body, lending, borrowing , Borrowing and borrowing from each other, that is to say, act according to the laws of nature. Because the relationship between nature and man is to lend and borrow. The harmony of heaven and earth is not greater than the organization of man. The purpose of the creator of this world is to put the soul Live in the human body, as a guest, as life. Life is blood, and blood is the seat of the soul④. Therefore, the only main job in this world is to continuously produce blood. In the process of blood production, each part has its own Responsibilities, their organizational system is that you borrow and borrow, and I borrow and you borrow, and each other is a borrower. The raw material, that is, a mineral suitable for hematopoiesis, is produced by nature—bread and meat—① Plato once believed To hear the harmonious sound of the planets moving, see line 617 of Chapter 10 of The Republic.

② Cyrus: the daughter of the god of agriculture, in charge of agriculture. ③ Flora: The god of flowers in Roman mythology. ④ Pomona: The goddess of fruit in Roman mythology. ⑤ Virgil once said this in the ninth and fourth lines of the first volume of "Init". ⑥ It means that the bigger the sage, the longer and more scriptures he recites in the morning. ① Saint-Yves is the patron saint of Brittany and the patron saint of the judiciary, so the author rebukes him. ② Lines 172 and 173 of the comedy "Bartland". ③ Latin: "that is to say". ④ Chrysias believed that the soul is the blood; Ambedocles, Lucles, Virgil, Plinius and others believed that the soul belongs to the blood.

supplied.These two substances include all kinds of nourishment, which is called "daily consumption" in Gothic.To find, prepare, and make these things, the hands are toiled, the feet to walk, and the whole body to be carried; the eyes lead all.Appetite is in the esophagus of the stomach, using a bit of bitter bile delivered by the spleen to swallow meat into the abdomen.So the tongue tastes; the teeth chew; the stomach absorbs, digests, and turns food into a paste.The intestines absorb good and nutritious ingredients and excrete the dregs through specific ducts.Then, the good ingredients are transported to the liver; the liver re-creates and produces blood.

"Can you imagine how joyful these institutions are when they see this liquid as precious as gold-their only nourishment? This joy is better than those alchemists who see the furnace after long-term toil, industry, and work. The joy in forming metal objects is far greater. "At this time, every part is trying its best to purify and refine this precious substance again. The kidney sends out the fluid you call urine through the renal tube, and flows down through the ureter. There is a converging place below, called As the bladder, the bladder excretes urine at regular intervals. The waste and dregs produced by the spleen are what you call depression②. What comes out of the gallbladder is excess anger③.

After that, the object is sent to another department of fine refining, which is the heart.Due to the contraction and beating of the heart, the substance becomes purer and the heat is higher. It passes through the right atrium to complete the final procedure, and then circulates through the veins throughout the body.Every part absorbs the blood and takes nourishment according to its needs, feet, hands, eyes, all; and what was once a lender of strength is now a borrower of strength.The output from the left atrium is more refined, and most people call it essence, and the right atrium transports it to the whole body through the arteries, warming and mobilizing the blood flowing in the veins.The lobes of the lungs are constantly beating to deliver air.The heart appreciates its goodness, and the best blood is sent to it from the arteries.In short, this miraculous network is so well organized that the intelligence of animals arises, with which it can think, speak, judge, decide, consider, reason and remember.

"My God! The more I talk, the more confused I get, and I don't know where I'm going! Entering the abyss of this world of lending and borrowing, I can't figure out the direction. In short, you want I know that lending is a noble act of kindness, and borrowing is a heroic virtue. Not only that, this world with lending relationships is too beautiful, and the relationship between supply and demand is so perfect that people want to lend things before they are born. Human beings use loan relationship to prolong themselves and reproduce images similar to themselves. I mean: to create children. For this purpose, each organ takes out part of its most precious nutrient essence and sends it to the lower part; The place below has already been prepared to receive this part of the material. From here, through the circuitous and tortuous road, down to the reproductive organs, it is formed in place, according to the physiology of men or women, and is ready to be used in the next generation. Everything is carried out in a relationship of mutual borrowing and lending. ; the so-called marriage obligation is derived from this.

"For those who are selfish and unwilling to lend, a punishment is naturally given to him, that is, the anguish of each organ, and the annoyance of each sense organ; for those who are willing to lend, a guaranteed reward is given, that is, joy, Comfort and pleasure." ① The Doc dialect in southern France, because the Goths occupied southern France, so the author said it was a Gothic dialect. ② Also known as black bile. ③ Also known as yellow bile.Anger is one of the four temperaments mentioned by Galen. Modern medicine has proved that the gallbladder does not excrete any objects.
