I can enlighten everything

Chapter 15

In the [-] hours that Dianhua traveled to the present, although he often saw tea bowls and there were always tea in the tea bowls, he never took a sip.

Unexpectedly, the first time I drank it, I found that this tea was completely different from the tea I knew. It was not clear tea, but soup tea.

The tea making that I learned from reading historical novels did not appear until the Ming Dynasty. Before the Tang and Song Dynasties, tea was the main method.

When making tea, there are spices such as onion and ginger, condiments such as salt, and Chinese medicinal materials such as licorice and wolfberry as ingredients. It is not so much tea as tea soup.So Dianhua called it soup tea.

It's not that this soup is not delicious, it can only be said that it is completely different from the clear tea in Dianhua's cognition, and the gap between reality and cognition is too big, which causes disgust.

Let go of the disgust, and after mentally preparing, taste it slowly, and find that the taste is still very good, but it seems that the ginger taste is stronger.

Qi Yu saw Dianhua frowning while drinking tea, and said apologetically, "The Taoist priest is not used to my tea, is he?! My body is weak and cold, so I put more ginger."

Because it is soup tea, everyone has their own preferences. The taste of the boiled tea is also different due to the type and proportion of condiments of the same tea.

Dianhua took another sip: "Ginger taste is indeed a bit strong, but fortunately, Pindao's taste is heavy, and it is still within the acceptable range."

This Taoist Dianhua speaks directly.Moreover, he does not observe etiquette, has no scruples, is confident, detached, and free and easy, but it is really possible that he is not a liar, but a master with real skills. '

Hearing that his father valued this person very much, he even took Qi Zhang's face for it, punished Qing Feng severely, and even drove him back to the villa.

'If he has real skills, then no wonder his father would treat him with such respect and courtesy. '

Daoist Dianhua looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with red lips and pale, beardless face.

I sighed again in my heart: "It's really rare to see such a young master of Taoism!" '

Although rare, it is not uncommon.

There are always some talented people who can achieve the achievements of others for decades at a young age.

Such geniuses, from all walks of life, studying and practicing martial arts, are not uncommon in history, and they have never been lacking even in modern times.

Qi Yu shook his head and smiled, "Drink more if you like it. There's still a big jug here."

"That poor way is disrespectful."

Qi Yu stopped talking and began to concentrate on reading.Dianhua drank another bowl of tea, stopped talking, and began to read the "Yan Wu Lun" that he had borrowed.

It's the first time I read with bamboo slips, and I'm really not used to it.The bamboo slips are so heavy, it is awkward to read vertically from top to bottom, from right to left, and the characters are the same color as the "paper", so it is easy to get dizzy after reading for a long time...

Using the reading habit of swallowing jujubes in modern society, after reading it once, Dianhua's feeling is: so boring, so dry, like a running account, incomprehensible, bad review!
Just like drinking soup and tea for the first time, it was all kinds of awkwardness and all kinds of unaccustomed.

However, fortunately, there are not many words in more than a dozen volumes of bamboo slips weighing nearly ten catties.

Using my previous reading habits, I read it through in only five or six minutes, and I have a general framework in my mind.I have confirmed that the content inside is exactly what I am looking for, a discussion on the evolution history of martial arts.

Putting down the bamboo slips and taking a look, there was only one bamboo slip in his hand, and Qi Yu was still reading it over and over again, Dianhua's restless heart gradually calmed down.

'This is time travel to another world, and it's normal to be unaccustomed to life. '

'You can no longer hold on to the airs of modern people. Don't think that you are full of superiority in living in modern society before time travel. The wisdom of ancient people is no worse than modern people. Their customs must have their own reasons. Put down the airs, do as the Romans do, take your time! '

Because of the difficulty of "writing", the bamboo slips are different from modern times and are particularly refined.

The classical Chinese learned in high school is that a few words can be translated into a long paragraph. Therefore, when reading bamboo slips, you need to read slowly, ponder slowly, and... taste slowly.

Calm down and read slowly. It took half an hour to finish reading the second time. However, it was different from the unintelligible anxiety of the first time, but there was a feeling of unfinished business.

To put it more clearly, I only understood one or two hundredths of it the first time, and I didn't understand what it said at all, so I understood three or four out of ten when I read Dianhua the second time.

Perhaps the precise translation of some "words" is somewhat imprecise, and we can only get a general meaning from the context, but it does not affect reading comprehension.

Different from the Tao Te Ching, which discusses philosophical thoughts, the "Yan Wu Lun", which aims to study the evolution of martial arts and record martial arts, uses very clear words and examples, so you only need to understand the basics of context Read through the whole book.

According to Qi Hong's research in "Yan Wu Lun", he believes that the origin of martial arts is man's natural worship, imitation and even confrontation of the invincible ferocious beasts in nature.

It's just that with the continuous development of the times, martial arts are more and more suitable for human beings, and they are getting farther and farther away from the original intention, and they have been changed beyond recognition.

These are the opening sentences of "Yan Wu Lun", which can be regarded as the main thesis of this book, and the following is the specific discussion and textual research with examples.

It gives people the feeling that it is very similar to the format of the paper, but it is not as mature and rigid as the paper, and the format is obvious.

However, it can also be seen that the author's thinking is clear and logical.

In Dianhua's understanding it is...

Qi Hong closely combined the evolution of martial arts with human civilization, and made the three major outbreaks of martial arts correspond to the three forms of human civilization.

In the primitive society, in the ancient times when people lived on hunting, all the martial arts studied for survival were mainly imitating ferocious birds and beasts.

In the slave society, in the ancient times where farming was the mainstay, the martial arts researched for life and survival mostly imitated animals tamed by humans, such as cows, horses, pigs and so on.

In modern times, since the great unification 200 years ago, human beings have become highly confident, people-oriented, and human beings themselves as the object of research and imitation. Martial arts and martial arts have begun to satisfy people's various desires.

A large number of martial arts and martial arts that are widely circulated among the people but not very powerful, very fast to learn, relatively light in resource consumption, but very effective.

For example: the most practiced by men is "Strengthening the Body"; the most practiced by women is the "Beautiful Beauty";

After reading this "Yan Wu Lun", Dianhua has a clear concept of martial arts in this world, and is no longer ignorant.

The unknown is the most frightening thing.

After gaining a certain understanding of martial arts and having a clear concept of martial arts in his heart, although the martial arts masters are still the original martial arts masters, Dianhua no longer feels uneasy about this world.

It feels like everything is within the scope of "science". Although it is a bit too strong, it is understandable.
