Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 19
Qin Zhiyong deliberately avoided Chen Zhengying for three consecutive days. Even if they met, Qin Zhiyong would leave with an excuse.Qin Zhiyong learned Taijiquan moves, although he didn't steal the boxing and didn't learn the essence of internal boxing, but Chen Zhengying must still be unhappy in his heart.

Qin Zhiyong felt that it would be better to let Chen Zhengying calm down first, and then explain to him in person.

Of course, Qin Zhiyong's mentality was very peaceful, and he didn't have Chen Zhengying's idea that boxing skills should not be passed on.If anyone wants to learn Taizu Changquan, Qin Zhiyong will definitely teach them all.

Martial arts is a science.

Since it is knowledge, it must be widely disseminated and carried forward.There will be no progress if you stand still and think conservatively.

For the past three days, Qin Zhiyong has been running to the house of his second uncle Chen Zhengzhou in Houshan every day.The two discussed the principles of boxing with each other.Qin Zhiyong paid attention to the health preservation of boxing, while Chen Zhengzhou paid attention to the attack power of boxing.From this point, it can be seen that the two people's ideas are very different.

The food cooked by Chen Zhengzhou doesn't taste very good.

Qin Zhiyong performed the operation himself.The meals he cooks are still rough and light.The condiments are still those condiments, but the taste is just different.

Chen Zhengzhou ate a piece of chopsticks, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Mmm. It tastes good. Qin Zhiyong, I never thought that besides your knowledge and deep understanding of boxing, you can also cook well. Your food, whether it's a knife In terms of skill and heat, they are no worse than those chefs in the city, or even better."

Qin Zhiyong said with a smile: "There are so many skills that you don't overwhelm yourself. I travel around to study alone, and I don't know how to cook. Wouldn't I starve to death? Knife skills, fire, as long as you master the tricks and practice hard, practice makes perfect. In fact, My sword skill is very ordinary, far from the realm of 'Paoding Jieniu'."

This is not too modest.Compared with Diao Buyu's sword skills, Qin Zhiyong's sword skills still have a big gap.Diao Buyu that butcher, the knife skills are really amazing.Diao Buyu's talent for using a knife seems to be innate.

Talent is something that really exists, you have to believe it.

Qin Zhiyong's talent with a knife cannot be compared with Diao Buyu's.Qin Zhiyong still has a long way to go if he wants to reach the level of Diao Buyu's sword skill.

Chen Zhengzhou shook his head and said, "Paoding Jieniu? That's what the cooks brag about, and it only exists in legends. Whose knife skills can really do Paodingjieniu? Anyway, I have never seen it."

Qin Zhiyong said: "I have seen it. I learned my sword skills from him."

Chen Zhengzhou was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Who is it? I'll visit him too!"

Those who can achieve the real "paodingjieniu" are the real masters.Must go to see.

Qin Zhiyong sighed, shook his head, and did not reveal Diao Buyu's identity.Because it doesn't make any sense.

Seeing that Qin Zhiyong was unwilling to speak, Chen Zhengzhou didn't press the question, and changed the subject: "You've been avoiding my elder brother for the past few days. It's not a problem. If you want me to tell you, you don't have to be afraid. You just learned Taijiquan What’s the big deal. My elder brother is just old-fashioned and obstinate. If the master hadn’t passed on all the essence of internal boxing to him, Chen Zhengying, he might not be my opponent. If my elder brother really If anyone troubles you, let him come to me."

Chen Zhengzhou is still a little brooding that his master did not pass on the essence of Taijiquan to himself.The relationship between him and his eldest brother Chen Zhengying was not harmonious. When they met, they would quarrel within three sentences, and it was because of this incident.

Qin Zhiyong said: "The village head should have calmed down now. When I go back at night, I will go to him and explain to him personally."

When talking about things, both parties need to be calm to talk. As long as one party is not calm, there is no need to talk.

Chen Zhengzhou nodded and said, "You can go and talk to my elder brother. But you have to remember, don't be afraid. Others are afraid of Chen Zhengying, but I am not."

………………

Qin Zhiyong returned to Chen Zhengying's home.Chen Shaoqi came over with two sets of Taoist robes in her arms.

"The clothes you want." Chen Shaoqi said.

Qin Zhiyong took the clothes and said, "It was done so quickly. Shaoqi, you are really good at your craft."

Chen Shaoqi said: "I didn't make your clothes. Aunt Hong's female reds are the best in our village. She helped sew your clothes. You can try them on first to see if they fit. "

Qin Zhiyong said, "Thank you, Aunt Hong, for helping me."

Chen Shaoqi said: "By the way, my dad has something to talk to you tonight. Don't avoid my dad anymore."

Qin Zhiyong said with a smile: "Exactly. I also have something, and I want to explain it to your father."

Qin Zhiyong went back to his room, and soon came out in Taoist robes.

The Taoist robe didn't look nondescript, and it matched Qin Zhiyong's temperament very well.

"The clothes fit you well." Qin Zhiyong said to Chen Shaoqi.

Chen Shaoqi nodded and said, "It just fits well."

………………

Qin Zhiyong had dinner with Chen Zhengying, Chen Shaoqi, and Liu Ruoshi.Qin Zhiyong took a bite of the food, and said to Chen Zhengying: "Senior, about the fact that I learned Tai Chi from my second uncle..."

Chen Zhengying interrupted Qin Zhiyong, and said, "There's no need to explain. Since you're not stealing punches, I have nothing to blame. I just hope you don't spread the Chen Family Taijiquan at will."

Qin Zhiyong nodded and said, "Senior, please rest assured. I will not pass on the Chen Family Taijiquan to others without your permission."

Chenjiagou has group training, but Chenjiaquan is not spread outside the box.

It is almost impossible for Qin Zhiyong to persuade Chen Zhengying to make Taijiquan flourish.Thoughts are not the same, of course the style of doing things is not the same.

Chen Zhengying followed the group training and was conservative, but it cannot be said that he was wrong.Observing the group training is a respect for ancestors, which can be said to be a kind of filial piety.

Chen Zhengying has his own ideology and lifestyle, and Qin Zhiyong has no intention of changing his values.Having said too much, Chen Zhengying may still think that Qin Zhiyong has bad intentions and has other intentions, wanting to peep into the essence of Taijiquan.

Chen Zhengying said: "Mr. Qin, you are knowledgeable. I wonder if you can teach the children in the village to read and write? As long as you agree, Mr. Qin, I will let people build a school tomorrow."

A few days ago, Qin Zhiyong avoided Chen Zhengying. Only now did Chen Zhengying have the opportunity to speak out to Qin Zhiyong what was in his heart.

Qin Zhiyong nodded without hesitation, "Yes. It's a good thing that children can read and write."

beam repair?

Neither Chen Zhengying nor Qin Zhiyong talked about this topic.

Qin Zhiyong felt that as long as he had food to eat and clothes to wear, his practice would not be delayed.For individuals, as long as the money is enough.Too much money is not necessarily a good thing sometimes.Qin Zhiyong still can't treat money like dung, but he really doesn't value money.

Money is something outside of the body, you don't bring it with you when you are born, and you don't take it with you when you die.It is fundamental to strengthen oneself and acquire knowledge and learning.

In the past, Qin Zhiyong couldn't make any money, just because he didn't get in touch with traditional culture, he had a problem with his temperament, and he didn't have such a strong ability to make money.

With ability and ability, money is at your fingertips.

Thousands of gold come back after being gone.

This is the truth.

………………

Qin Zhiyong plans to move out of Chen Zhengying's house.Chen Shaoqi asked, "Why are you leaving?"

Qin Zhiyong was carrying the package, which contained several sets of clothes and the Four Books and Five Classics.

"I don't live in the village for a day or two. It's not suitable to continue to live in your house." Qin Zhiyong said: "The second uncle's place in Houshan is good. There are several vacant rooms at the second uncle's place. I will live with him."

My second uncle, Chen Zhengzhou, lives alone in the back mountain, and sometimes feels quite lonely.He thought of Aunt Hong in his heart, but due to the constraints of etiquette, he did not dare to go to Aunt Hong blatantly.I can only bury my feelings for Aunt Hong in my heart.

Qin Zhiyong's state of mind has not really reached the level of Confucian "fixation".It is not suitable for practice in noisy places.When his state of mind really reaches the level of "fixation", Qin Zhiyong can go anywhere.Even if he went to places such as brothels and casinos, he couldn't shake his mind.

The back mountain is clean.

It is suitable for Qin Zhiyong's current practice.Usually, I can chat with my second uncle Chen Zhengzhou.

Chen Shaoqi said: "Okay. However, Second Uncle probably doesn't have extra quilts and mosquito nets. I'll send them to you later."

Qin Zhiyong didn't refuse, nodded and said, "Thank you very much."

………………

Many people are powerful.

It is not difficult for the villagers to build a school.There is no shortage of masons and carpenters in Chenjiagou.In less than five days, the school and the seats were finished.

Chen Zhengying gathered all the children in the village and waited for Qin Zhiyong to give a lecture.

Qin Zhiyong stood on the podium holding a ruler, looking at more than 40 children sitting below.Their eyes are clear and bright, innocent and innocent.

Qin Zhiyong had a sense of mission in his heart.

Teaching and educating people is a very sacred profession.

Qin Zhiyong said: "Children, let's start class. Now we learn the first word..."

Without Pinyin, Qin Zhiyong could only start with simple Chinese characters.Let the children learn by rote.

In this era, any old master teaches in this way.In the beginning, learn by rote, and then talk about mastery.

Qin Zhiyong only taught the children five Chinese characters every morning, and taught them to do housework in the afternoon.Don't think that doing housework is easy. Doing housework calmly is the best way to cultivate people's character.

As the saying goes, if you don't sweep a house, why sweep the world?Being able to do housework well is also an achievement.

There is a sentence in "The Analects of Confucius. Xueer": If you have spare energy in action, you should learn literature.

What I said is to finish the work first, cultivate your character well, and then come to study and study, and you will make thousands of miles every day, and get twice the result with half the effort.If your xinxing is not good enough, you can’t do things well, so you start reading and learning literature, which will only increase your vanity.That would be harmful.

Qin Zhiyong was teaching students for the first time, but he didn't want his disciples to become annoying rotten scholars.He wants his students to be honest, practical, and have the unity of knowledge and action.Rather than just rhetoric and rhetoric.

………………

This morning.

After Qin Zhiyong finished teaching the children, he walked to the entrance of the village and met Chen Zhengying.Qin Zhiyong clasped his fists and said, "I've met senior."

Chen Zhengying said: "Mr. Qin, you teach the children to be careful. These days, I have noticed it."

Qin Zhiyong said with a smile: "As a teacher, I hope that my students will become talents, and even the blue ones. That's what I should do."

at this time.

A young man walked to the entrance of the village from the outside, and asked Qin Zhiyong and Chen Zhengying: "Excuse me, is this Chenjiagou? Does Senior Chen Zhengying live here? My name is Yang Yuqian, and I am here to learn from Senior Chen Zhengying." fist."

Qin Zhiyong was about to speak.

Chen Zhengying took a step forward and said first, "Young man, you have come to the wrong place. This is not Chenjiagou, and there is no senior named Chen Zhengying in the village."

Afterwards, Chen Zhengying said to Qin Zhiyong: "Mr. Qin, didn't you say you have something to go back first? I won't delay you."

Chen Zhengying was worried that Qin Zhiyong would reveal his true identity.He wanted Qin Zhiyong to leave early.

Qin Zhiyong said: "The junior will leave first." He nodded to Yang Yuqian as a greeting, and then walked along the path to the second uncle's house in Houshan.
