Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 24 Will the son-in-law come to visit?
Yang Yuqian sat in front of the stove and lit the fire. Qin Zhiyong said while chopping vegetables: "Inner boxing and outer boxing, in fact, the tricks are the same. The difference is that each boxing has its own unique boxing theory and mentality." The essence of boxing theory and mental method is the essence. If you can’t learn the essence of internal boxing for the time being, don’t force it, you can learn the moves first. When you have the opportunity, you can learn the boxing theory and mental method of internal boxing, and cooperate with the skilled moves. You will be able to use it very quickly.”

In another 200 years, the Chinese will all know Taijiquan, and everyone will be able to make two moves at will.In terms of the wide spread of traditional boxing, Tai Chi is well-deserved number one.Baguazhang and Xingyiquan, the two internal martial arts, cannot be compared with Taijiquan.

The main reason is the theory of rigidity, softness and yin and yang contained in Taijiquan, which is very suitable for Chinese philosophy.

Taijiquan, at that time, will no longer be an ordinary boxing art, but a national quintessence.It is a kind of art and culture, but also a kind of inheritance.

Qin Zhiyong has no views of sects.

In Qin Zhiyong's view, Chenjiagou's ancestral precepts are a bad habit.But Qin Zhiyong understands how the ancestors of the Chen family set up ancestral precepts.

In the feudal era, it was very difficult to get ahead.Aristocratic families and sects have monopolized knowledge and martial arts.With cultural knowledge and martial arts cultivation, one can stand out.

Fertilizer does not flow into outsiders' fields.

Chenjiagou's Taijiquan is an internal boxing technique, which is even more precious.It is reasonable for the Chen family to want to monopolize this scarce resource.

However, doing so would risk losing knowledge and boxing skills.Not to mention anything to promote it.

From the pre-Qin period to the present, Huaxia did not know how much knowledge and secret skills there were, because they were self-confident and did not communicate with others, so they were lost.

Qin Zhiyong felt that the ancient knowledge and secret skills are the inheritance left by the ancestors to the younger generations, and they are very remarkable wealth and wisdom.It would be a pity if it was lost.

If a knowledge is not lost, the only way is to let it spread widely and everyone knows it.Just like the Four Books and Five Classics of Confucianism.

Why has Confucianism been passed down for thousands of years?It is because it is widely spread.As long as they are scholars, they are all studying Confucianism.

Yang Yuqian silently added firewood to the stove, feeling a little depressed.

Qin Zhiyong knew that he was in a bad mood because he failed to become a master and could not learn the secret skills of Neijiaquan.

"Food, one bite at a time; road, one step at a time." Qin Zhiyong's tone was calmer, "It's the same when learning boxing. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. If you can't bear this grievance, then go back to your hometown as soon as possible."

Yang Yuqian said: "I have offended Senior Chen Zhengying by stealing punches. Now that I think about it, I am a little scared. I don't know if I can continue to stay in the village. Even if Senior Chen Zhengying doesn't drive me away and wants to learn Tai Chi I am afraid that there is no possibility of using the internal secret technique of boxing."

Qin Zhiyong said: "As long as you are sincere, you will definitely have a chance. I can't pass on Taijiquan moves to you. But my second uncle can. If you have any doubts, you can ask your second uncle. Agan, don't be afraid, I, my second uncle Uncle, and Shaoqi will help you."

Yang Yuqian nodded.

………………

When Chen Shaoqi returned home, seeing Chen Zhengying's serious face, she stepped forward and said softly, "Father, Yang Yuqian was discovered by you without stealing a single move. Why did you get so angry?"

Chen Zhengying snorted coldly and said: "The Chen Family Taijiquan is not passed on to outsiders, it is the teachings of the ancestors. How can I, Chen Zhengying, violate the teachings of the ancestors and be an unfaithful and unfilial person? That kid Yang Yuqian runs fast, otherwise I must abolish him. "

The anger in Chen Zhengying's heart had almost dissipated.But his words are still tough, in order to show his determination to abide by the precepts of his ancestors.

Chen Shaoqi said: "I think Yang Yu has done a good job. He came all the way to seek boxing from a teacher. Dad, you are not willing to teach him. Of course he must find a way to learn boxing. What else can he do besides stealing boxing? To say that he violated the ancestral precepts... ...Father, you have violated it a long time ago."

The ancestral motto of the Chen family is boxing "Pass it down from son to daughter, from inside to outside."

After all, the daughter is going to marry out, and she will be from another family in the future.

Chen Shaoqi's mother passed away early.

Chen Zhengying is just such a daughter as Chen Shaoqi.In order to pass Taijiquan to Chen Shaoqi, Chen Zhengying asked Chen Shaoqi to disguise herself as a man since she was a child.In doing so, Chen Zhengying has indeed violated the precepts of his ancestors.

Therefore.

It was only in Chen Zhengying's heart that he felt guilty. He had violated half of the ancestral precepts, but he could not violate the other half.This is the reason why Yang Yuqian lost his temper when he stole the punch.

Chen Zhengying stared and said, "You..."

Unfortunately, he couldn't refute Chen Shaoqi.Because what Chen Shaoqi said was the truth.

Chen Shaoqi continued: "Tai Chi is not spread outside? Qin Zhiyong has already learned all the moves of Tai Chi."

Chen Zhengying said angrily: "That kid Qin Zhiyong knows Taijiquan because of that bastard second son. After your second uncle died, how could he have the face to meet his master and the ancestors of the Chen family? It's a pity that Qin Zhiyong is not my Chen family." The person in the ditch, his surname is not Chen."

In Chen Zhengying's eyes, Qin Zhiyong was a martial arts prodigy.Without mastering the essence of Neijiaquan, you can perform Taijiquan so smoothly and resolve your own punching attacks.

Incredible.

………………

In the evening, Qin Zhiyong took Yang Yuqian down from the back mountain and walked towards the village.Yang Yugan was holding a food box in his hand, which contained delicious chicken soup.

Of course, Qin Zhiyong cooked the chicken soup himself.

Yang Yuqian's cooking skills are not as good as those of his second uncle Chen Zhengzhou.

"Mr. Qin, I really want to go. I'm a little afraid of Senior Chen Zhengying." Yang Yuqian said anxiously.

Qin Zhiyong said: "Stealing boxing is your fault. Since you came to learn boxing from a teacher sincerely, then go and apologize to senior Chen Zhengying now. If you do something wrong, it is not shameful. It is shameful if you don't repent. This time, we, Not to steal punches. What's more, I will go with you. What are you afraid of?"

When I arrived at the gate of Chen Zhengying's courtyard, I happened to run into Chen Shaoqi.

Seeing Qin Zhiyong bringing Yang Yuqian, Chen Shaoqi quickly whispered, "Why do you dare to come to my house? Hurry up and leave before my father comes out."

Qin Zhiyong laughed: "Shaoqi, you are overthinking. Yang Yugan and I came here to visit your father openly. It's not something shameful. Why did you leave quietly?"

Chen Zhengying's voice came from the room: "Shaoqi, let them in."

Chen Shaoqi glanced at Qin Zhiyong and Yang Yuqian, and said, "My father is calling you. Come in."

Qin Zhiyong nodded, and led Yang Yuqian into the yard.

Chen Zhengying asked: "It's so late, Qin Zhiyong, what are you doing here?"

Qin Zhiyong said: "Senior, Yang Yuqian's behavior of stealing punches is a bit bad. Although he didn't learn anything secretly, he spent the whole afternoon in remorse and suffered a lot. No, I'll take him Senior, you have come to apologize."

Chen Zhengying snorted coldly, with disbelief on his face: "The matter is over. Make an apology, forget it."

Chen Zhengying talked to Qin Zhiyong without looking at Yang Yuqian, as if he didn't exist.

Yang Yuqian felt a little disappointed, the feeling of not being taken seriously was really uncomfortable.

Chen Zhengying understood Qin Zhiyong's behavior.If Qin Zhiyong did something wrong, he would come to apologize, Chen Zhengying believed it.

But Yang Yuqian, that might not be the case.

After all, Yang Yuqian had just arrived in Chenjiagou, and Chen Zhengying didn't know what he was like.

Qin Zhiyong said: "Apologies are still required."

Yang Yuqian stepped forward, knelt on the ground, held up the food box with both hands, and said, "Senior, it was my fault for stealing punches. I already knew that I was wrong. I asked Mr. Qin to make this chicken soup. It tastes delicious. I hope you will accept it."

Before Chen Zhengying could speak, Chen Shaoqi took the food box and said, "Father, Yang Yuqian already knew he was wrong, so please forgive him. Let him get up."

Chen Zhengying glared at her daughter, thinking that she was meddling.However, in front of Qin Zhiyong, Chen Zhengying couldn't make Yang Yuqian kneel any longer.He nodded to Yang Yuqian and said, "Boy, for Qin Zhiyong's sake, I forgive you. Get up."

With Chen Zhengying's forgiveness, Yang Yuqian finally relaxed.

"Thank you, senior." Yang Yuqian said happily.

As long as Chen Zhengying forgives herself, Yang Yuqian feels that there is a chance to learn Taijiquan.

The sunset glow shone on Qin Zhiyong's body, making him look even more upright.

Seeing Qin Zhiyong's outstanding talent, Chen Zhengying had an idea, and had an idea in his mind.

"Shaoqi, you take Yang Yugan out first. Dad has something to talk to Qin Zhiyong alone." Chen Zhengying said to Chen Shaoqi.

Chen Shaoqi was puzzled, but still nodded and said, "Yes, Dad."

Yang Yuqian followed Chen Shaoqi and left the yard.

Qin Zhiyong asked: "Senior, I wonder if there is anything you want to talk to me about?"

Chen Zhengying asked: "Qin Zhiyong, you haven't gotten married yet, have you?"

Qin Zhiyong shook his head and said, "No. I do have a girl I like in my heart. It's a pity...it's impossible for me and her."

Chen Zhengying was overjoyed, it would be fine if she didn't have a family.He asked again: "What do you think of Shaoqi?"

Qin Zhiyong's heart was like a mirror, and he said with a smile: "Senior, don't you want to betroth Shaoqi to me? Absolutely not. Shaoqi is kind-hearted and a good girl. I may leave Chenjiagou at any time and continue to walk The road to study abroad. I am definitely not a good match for Shaoqi."

Chen Zhengying said angrily: "Boy Qin, you are knowledgeable and a scholar. But don't be arrogant. Do you think my daughter is not good enough for you?"

Qin Zhiyong shook his head and said, "Senior, please don't say that. Shaoqi is really good. It's my own problem."

Chen Zhengying said: "Didn't you always want to learn the essence of internal boxing? As long as you marry Shaoqi, I will immediately pass on the essence of Taijiquan and the secret technique of coiling silk to you. After you and Shaoqi have children , you can continue to go on a study tour. After the study tour is over, just go back to Chenjiagou."

Qin Zhiyong's boxing skills, knowledge, and character are all top choices.Chen Zhengying wants him to marry into Chenjiagou.As long as he is married to Chen Shaoqi, then Qin Zhiyong is a member of the Chen family.Chen Zhengying taught Taijiquan all the way, so it is not a violation of the ancestor's precepts.

Qin Zhiyong can practice boxing smoothly and freely by only relying on the moves of Taijiquan.If he has learned the inner essence of Taijiquan and the secret technique of winding silk strength.His martial arts practice may be able to reach the realm of a great master.

Chen Zhengying felt that Qin Zhiyong was a great talent, and it was reasonable for him to want to recruit Qin Zhiyong as his son-in-law.

It's a pity that Qin Zhiyong devoted himself to exploring knowledge and did not consider the personal relationship of his children for the time being.More importantly, Qin Zhiyong felt that he and Chen Shaoqi were really incompatible.
