Let’s talk about Liaozhai at the beginning, I scared all the fans on the Internet to death

Jiang Ning doesn’t know whether the complete version of the Tao Te Ching can help people cultivate immortality.

but.

Jiang Ning doesn't do things like going to the grave very often.

He's not a real tomb robber.

Furthermore, he is not an archaeological expert.

Where is the person who goes to the grave every day?

Even if you can go to the grave every day.

This kind of thing.

It can't be said openly either.

just.

Jiang Ning was not ready to go to the grave.

There are a lot of people in this world who go to graves.

in particular.

After Jiang Ning taught many disciples in Maoshan, Jiang Ning's Feng Shui skills spread.

The first thing that showed up was the discovery of one big tomb after another.

This kind of technology has excited the entire archaeological community.

To know.

In the past, it was difficult to discover many large tombs.

After all, a series of large tombs are buried underground, and people don't have clairvoyance, so how can they know what tombs are underground.

But according to Feng Shui.

A series of places where large tombs may appear have become key areas for investigation.

This is not.

In recent times, domestic media have discovered large tombs at every turn.

And when they discovered the tomb.

A series of cultural relics continue to appear.

For example, pottery, porcelain, gold, silver, copper and iron...etc.

But that's not all.

In many large tombs, many bamboo slips will be unearthed.

In fact.

Everyone is most interested in these bamboo slips.

after all.

Most of the cultural relics in the tomb have no writing on them.

No matter how beautiful these cultural relics are, no matter how many gold and silver treasures are unearthed, the lack of writing affects their value.

but.

Bamboo slips are the carrier of characters.

Having characters not only makes the bamboo slips more valuable.

At the same time, people can also find a series of lost ancient books from these bamboo slips with characters.

Just after Jiang Ning finished talking about the fourth issue of Hundred Family Surnames.

A complete version of the Tao Te Ching was unearthed from a large tomb somewhere in Hu Province.

after being unearthed.

In order to maintain this popularity, the archaeological institution occasionally releases an original text from the Tao Te Ching.

【Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs. The saint is unkind and treats the common people as stupid dogs. 】

【If you don't respect the virtuous, the people will not fight; if you don't value the hard-to-find goods, the people will not steal; if you don't see the desirable, the people will not be confused. Therefore, the rule of the sage is to weaken his heart and strengthen his belly; to weaken his will and strengthen his bones. It often makes people ignorant and desireless. A wise man would not dare to do anything. If you do nothing, everything will be cured. 】

[Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature. 】

Looking at the original texts published, many netizens were stunned.

"I'll go, there really is the original text of the Tao Te Ching."

"Nonsense, do you think Teacher Jiang Ning is deceiving you?"

"I mean, after studying the Tao Te Ching, can I really become an immortal?"

"I don't know if we can cultivate immortality, but if we truly understand the meaning of the Tao Te Ching, we can live a happy life even if we cannot cultivate immortality."

……

"Teacher Jiang Ning, will the surname Zhou be mentioned in the next issue?"

"Yes."

"There don't seem to be many celebrities with the surname Zhou."

Zhao Qian and Sun Li, Zhou Wu and King Zheng.

After the surname Li.

According to the order of hundreds of surnames, it is the turn of the surname Zhou.

Although the surname Zhou ranks fourth among the hundreds of surnames.

But let's be honest.

There are not many celebrities named Zhou.

So this also leads to.

Jiang Ning's fifth issue of "Hundred Family Surnames" has not yet been released, but some fans are already talking about it.

But for Jiang Ning, how come there aren't many celebrities with the Zhou surname.

If the gentleman with a lot of pen names in his previous life was revealed, it would definitely be a great event in the literary world.

Not to mention.

There is also a gentleman named Zhou who studies for the rise of China.

But a pity.

The historical background of this world is slightly different.

So Mr. Jiang Ning can’t talk about it either.

But although I can’t talk about it.

But the surname Zhou also has countless things to talk about.

even.

In this issue, Jiang Ning gave a heavy reminder: "Don't blame me for not reminding everyone, everyone had better take notes in the fifth issue of Hundred Surnames."

Say it.

Jiang Ning, however, has devoted himself to the production of the fifth issue of Hundred Family Surnames.

……

A few days later.

The fifth issue of Hundred Family Surnames is officially launched.

"Director Qiu, this Zhou surname seems a bit complicated."

"Yes. This is because the origin of the Zhou surname is more complicated, but generally speaking, it has a lot to do with the Zhou Dynasty."

Yes.

The origin of the surname Zhou is relatively complicated.

Some people who took Guo as their surname also used Zhou, and it has continued.

There are also descendants of King Wen of Zhou who regard King Wen's Zhou as their surname.

There are also descendants of Duke Zhou who take Zhou as their surname.

There are also descendants of King Nan of Zhou.

Because King Nan of Zhou did not do very well as the emperor, he was even defeated by the Qin State of the vassal state later and demoted to a commoner.

Later, the descendants of King Nan of Zhou also took Zhou as their surname.

However, this history Jiang Ning will not be performed in Hundred Surnames.

There are so many surnames in China.

The population of each surname ranges from hundreds to tens of millions to hundreds of millions... If you add in thousands of years, there are billions.

It's impossible for every surname to produce an awesome character, and a few not-so-good characters. This is normal.

And today.

The Zhou that Jiang Ning wants to talk about is King Wen of Zhou Dynasty.

"Jichang, do you have any intention of rebellion in the Western Zhou Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty, I in the Western Zhou Dynasty have absolutely no intention of rebellion."

"is it?"

on the stage.

King Zhou of Shang stared at King Wen of Zhou.

Many people still know something about King Wen of Zhou.

King Wen of Zhou was the founder of the Zhou Dynasty.

His son Ji Fa, King Wu of Zhou, defeated King Zhou of Shang and founded the Zhou Dynasty.

This is recorded in history.

At the same time, when Jiang Ning told many myths before, he also told many stories about King Wen of Zhou.

For example, when King Zhou of Shang learned that King Wen of Zhou had the ability to predict, he wanted to see if there was such a thing.

So the meat of King Wen's eldest son was made into meat cakes and given to King Wen. Although King Wen predicted that it was his son's meat.

But in order not to be suspected by King Zhou of Shang, he still ate the meat pie.

After King Zhou of Shang left, King Wen of Zhou vomited out the leftover soup, and the leftover soup turned into three rabbits and returned to Xiqi.

But a pity.

This is nothing but a fairy tale.

In real history, he cannot be like this.

But although it is a fairy tale.

But the mythical story is also based on some real history.

such as.

Ji Chang was imprisoned by King Zhou of Shang for seven years.

At this moment.

Jiang Ning also started from the time when King Wen of Zhou Jichang was imprisoned in the dungeon.

But while being imprisoned, King Wen of Zhou did something earth-shattering.

……

"Master Marquis, I didn't expect you to be imprisoned here."

"Yes." "King Zhou of Shang is indeed a foolish king."

In the prison, an inmate who knew King Wen of Zhou said.

But although King Wen of Zhou was arrested, he remained calm and said, "It doesn't matter, I will be released in seven years."

"Master Marquis, how do you know that you will be released in seven years? Is it true that many people say that you can predict?"

King Wen of Zhou smiled and said nothing.

There is no admission or denial.

At this time.

But he drew a gossip on the ground.

"What do you think this gossip means?"

Facing that man, King Wen of Zhou asked.

The man looked left and right, up and down, then looked embarrassed and said: "Master Hou, I haven't read many books, so I don't know what this gossip means."

King Wen of Zhou touched his beard and said, "It's normal that you don't know. After all, this gossip only has a pattern and no words."

Done.

King Wen of Zhou was suddenly stunned.

He seemed to understand something.

For thousands of years.

After the emergence of the Yi Jing, the world believed that the Bagua in the Yi Jing only had pictures and no words.

Although this was originally the case.

At the same time, there are also people who can understand the truth behind it through the patterns.

But this is too complicated.

It is absolutely impossible for those without talent to know what these gossips mean.

In this case.

Anyway, he is locked in a prison and can't get out, so why not give a literal explanation for these 8864 hexagrams.

This explanation.

Later generations called this interpretation "Gua Ci" and "Yao Ci", which means words that explain the meaning of each hexagram and each line.

Think about it.

King Wen of Zhou drew another gossip.

There are six horizontal lines in this Bagua.

Each horizontal line is straight and there is no break in the middle.

"Look, these six paintings are all horizontal and there is no break in the middle. This means Yang, which means that these six paintings are all Yang."

"In other words, this hexagram is a Yang hexagram. Each horizontal line in each middle is called a Yao. Six horizontal lines means there are six Yao."

"If there is a break in the middle, it represents Yin."

Facing the prisoner, King Wen of Zhou explained.

But the inmate was even more confused: "Master Hou, I still don't quite understand your yin, yang, and yao lines. Is there any meaning in it?"

"Of course it's interesting."

"Each hexagram, each line, has its own meaning, and it also contains a lot of information. For example, if you look at this hexagram, it has a total of six paintings. All six paintings are yang, and none of them is yin. . What does this mean? Think about it, does it look like our sky? Our sky is masculine, and our universe is also masculine. He takes care of all things, so that humans can survive and all things can grow."

side said.

In the lens, there is also a scene of the natural growth of all things in the world.

All growth of all things is inseparable from heaven.

"So, we regard this hexagram as the Tian hexagram, or we just call it Qian hexagram."

For this hexagram, King Wen of Zhou wrote the character Qian.

As soon as the word "gan" comes out.

All I saw was that the sky was bright for a moment.

Even the seemingly gloomy cells were illuminated extremely brightly by the sun's rays.

"Master Hou, I didn't expect that this hexagram has such a meaning."

The inmate who just couldn't understand it was suddenly confused.

He didn't expect that.

Such a hexagram actually contains a series of information as King Wen of Zhou said.

"After talking about this Qian Gua, let's look at the meaning of each line in Qian Gua. For example, let's look at this line."

Pointing to the bottom line of the Qian hexagram, King Wen of Zhou said: "Look, this line is at the bottom, and there are five threads pressing on him. Will he feel a lot of pressure? So, at this time, What are you going to do? Even if you are very talented, because there is huge pressure ahead, the best way is not to move."

side said.

King Wen of Zhou wrote a line above this line: "Do not use the hidden dragon."

"Don't use Qianlong" means don't move around.

The words "hide the dragon but not the dragon" are the so-called Yao Ci.

These lines were all written by King Wen of Zhou Dynasty.

It is precisely because of these lines that future generations can understand it when they study the Eight Diagrams of the Book of Changes.

"I go……"

Watching King Wen of Zhou continue to explain the Qian Gua.

Countless spectators were so excited that their eyes almost popped out.

……

"That, that, that..."

"This, this, this..."

"What about this, this, that, that..."

"I do not know what to say."

Everyone only felt their scalps numb.

Looking at the gossip in the camera, everyone really felt like they were seeing a book from heaven.

"Look, this is the second line. Although the second line seems to be in a better position than the bottom line. But the pressure on the top is also very high. So, what should he do at this time? It's best The best way is to make friends with those very capable adults and get their help. Therefore, the explanation of this line is to see the dragon in the field...The dragon is the adult, and the adult is the dragon."

"Now, we have come to the third line. The position of the third line is much better, which proves that he has done a lot of things during this period and has achieved small results. But what should he do now? He can only continue Work hard, and why can he only continue to work hard? Because at this position, if he does not continue to work hard and gets carried away, he will soon fall to the lowest position. Only if he continues to work hard can he get better. Go further. So, in this line, a gentleman works all day long..."

"The fourth line may leap into the abyss."

"The fifth line, the flying dragon is in the sky."

"The sixth line, the dragon has regrets."

After explaining it, King Wen of Zhou said: "When heaven moves vigorously, a gentleman will strive to strengthen himself."

……

"Heaven moves in good health, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement."

"Heaven moves in good health, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement."

"Heaven moves in good health, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement."

As heaven moves forward, a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement...even if it's just a sentence.

but.

After King Zhou Wen said these words, everyone felt that all the blood in their bodies was boiling.

What should we learn from God?

What we learn is the strength of God.

Where did this vigor come from?

Just look at the sun rising in the morning.

Every day when you wake up, the sun has already risen.

Even if you don't get up.

The sun also rises in the east and sets in the west every day.

He lasted for thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years...even hundreds of millions of years.

It will last for hundreds of millions of years in the future.

He still gets up early every day and rises in the east and sets in the west.

He does not rely on human will and only maintains his true nature.

Therefore, a gentleman must learn from the strength of God and strive for self-improvement.

"I want to say that this is the real secret to cultivating immortality."

"Yes, this is the real secret to cultivating immortality."

He muttered in the corner of his mouth.

Although everyone knows it.

There is nothing about immortality or fantasy in it.

but.

When listening to such hexagrams, countless people feel that their souls have been greatly sublimated.

pat pat...

Countless applause kept coming.

The three guests stood up excitedly.

……

The show still goes on.

Corresponding to the Qian hexagram is the Kun hexagram.

Kun can be interpreted as earth.

Relative to the strength of heaven.

The characteristic of the earth is not its strength, but its thickness and bearing.

It is precisely because of the earth that everything, whether it is a mountain, a lake, or an ocean... can be supported by the earth.

What does the earth rely on to carry it?

What he relies on is his profound virtue.

and so.

The hexagram words of Kun hexagram are: The terrain is Kun, and a gentleman carries things with great virtue.

Qian Gua.

Kun Gua.

The two most important hexagrams in the Book of Changes.

You don’t need to read the other hexagrams.

But as long as you understand these two hexagrams.

Then your life will be like what the hexagram here says, a gentleman is like a dragon. (End of chapter)
