Chapter 36: Saying 'One'
Danyang County Mansion covers an area of 60 acres.
It is located on the shore of Kunming Pond, and the backyard is connected to Kunming Pond, and you can see the vast lake at a glance.
When Li Dayong arrived at the county mansion with Su Dawei, it was almost unitary.
Unconsciously, after such a toss, it will be late.
"If you go back now, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the city, so stay here tonight."
"This, I'm afraid my mother will be worried."
"It's okay, didn't you say that you were coming to me?"
"Okay, then."
What Li Dayong said was the truth, and Su Dawei couldn't refute it.
Chang'an was strictly forbidden at night, and after the city gate was closed, Mo said that he was a little bad person, even if he was a relative of the emperor, he would never want to open the city gate again. In the late Tang Dynasty, the law was so corrupt that even if there was a night ban, the city gates could be opened.
But now, it's still the early Tang Dynasty.
Although Li Shimin died, the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang are still there.
Especially the eldest grandson Wuji, who attaches the most importance to the law. He is about to embark on the vast project of compiling and revising the "Tang Laws and Regulations", how can he tolerate the destruction of the law?
"Uncle, what exactly is Kailing?"
"Eat first, my father has already prepared dinner, let's talk about it after eating."
When he saw the old man again, he had changed into a wide white robe.
The dinner in the Li Mansion was not particularly sumptuous.
Of course, compared to ordinary families, it can definitely be regarded as good food and wine.
In the evening, it is a whole sheep feast, steamed, boiled, roasted, fried, etc., with a variety of cooking techniques and rich dishes.
In Su Dawei's previous life, he thought that the ancients were not good at cooking.
However, after being reborn, he discovered that the cooking skills of the ancients were no worse than those of later generations.
It's just limited to the conditions, and the means of cooking are not so much. But in terms of ingredients alone, the ancients would come up with a variety of strange ways to make the same ingredients, and the taste was extremely delicious. Color, fragrance, taste, meaning, shape. Since the advent of food, a set of very complete theories has emerged in Huaxia, which has also promoted the continuous innovation of cooking methods.
Japanese cuisine is popular all over the world because of its two characteristics: color and shape.
Su Dawei remembers very well that Japanese cuisine is also called 'eye cuisine', so the first thing it pursues is its shape and color, which is comfortable for the eyes. It's hard to say the taste of Japanese food, but there is one thing that it is very cleverly made. Human beings are creatures that rely first on their eyes, so there is a saying that 'people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles'.
Dressed in a high-end fit, it is easy to have a good impression when strangers meet.
It's the same with food, if you soothe your eyes, you will feel delicious. This is also an important reason why Japanese food can be popular in later generations. Its packaging and its shape will give people a feeling of being forced to be very high. In contrast, Chinese food tends to ignore this to the point of being at a disadvantage, both in terms of price and otherwise.
But in fact, the production of Japanese food is just a product of stealing teachers from the Tang Dynasty.
Li Keshi has white hair and a childish face, and his spirit is strong.
He eats an amazing amount of food, and he doesn't have to be inferior to young people at all, and even Li Dayong can't compare with him.
In one meal, almost half a sheep entered the stomach, and there were two jars of Huiyangchun.
In this way, he also patted his stomach and said: "When I am old, I don't dare to eat more at night, so I can only eat six points full." ”
You're really a rice bucket!
Su Dawei muttered in his heart, and the speed in his hands was not slow.
Li Keshi smiled: "If you can eat well, if you can eat, it means that there is nothing wrong with your body, and at your age, it is the time to eat." ”
It is often said that half the size eats the poor.
Su Dawei was also not polite, and he gobbled it up.
Not only was he polite, but Hei Saburo was also polite, lying behind him, holding a leg of mutton, eating with relish.
"I'm a little tired today, so I won't accompany you.
Boy, you don't have to be restrained here, just be casual. Let your fifth uncle accompany you, get up tomorrow, and let's talk again. ”
So saying, he got up and left.
As he passed by Kurosaburo, he suddenly stopped.
"Good dog, really good dog...... Boy, is your dog a breeder? ”
"Huh?"
Su Dawei was choked and looked up at Li Keshi.
Later, he found Kurosaburo holding the leg of mutton and moving back to his side, holding his tail and not moving.
"Oh, it's not matched, it depends on what it likes."
Li Keshi didn't say it, and Su Dawei didn't think either.
It's spring, everything is budding, and it's the season for animals to come into heat.
He had seen dogs mating on the streets several times, but he never saw anything unusual about Kurosaburo. Or is it frigid? Anyway, I didn't see it in heat, and I didn't see it go out to find a female dog, and it looked very indifferent.
Could it be that it ......
Turning his head to look at Hei Saburo, Hei Saburo rolled his eyes, hugged the leg of mutton and continued to gnaw.
"Also, this kind of thing depends on fate."
Li Keshi looked deeply appreciative, and went out with his hands behind his back.
Li Dayong had already stopped eating, and when he saw Li Keshi going out, he also stood up.
"Have you eaten enough?"
Su Dawei looked at the mess in front of him, and said a little embarrassed: "Eight points full." ”
"Do you want more?"
You all stood up and asked me if I wanted to eat? I don't want to lose face! Even if I want to eat it, I'm embarrassed to eat it.
This guy is a real hypocrisy.
Li Dayong definitely didn't expect that he would be labeled as hypocritical when he said casually.
Su Dawei said: "I don't eat it." ”
"Then follow me."
Li Dayong walked out, and Su Dawei hurriedly followed.
Hei Saburo also stood up, looked at the leg of mutton hesitantly, then looked at Su Dawei's back, and finally took the leg of mutton in his mouth and followed.
Two people and a dog, walking along the corridor.
Soon, they arrived in the backyard and came to the poolside in Kunming.
The moon is bright and clean.
The stars converge into a galaxy that stretches across the sky.
"Your name is Ami, right?"
"That's what my mother calls me."
"Okay, I'll call you Ami too."
You're hitting a snake with a pole...... However, Su Dawei did not resist Li Dayong calling him so, because he knew Su Zhao.
Actually, Su Dawei was very curious about Su Zhao.
He rarely heard Su Zhao mentioned before, and in the memory of his predecessor, Su Zhao mostly appeared as a loving father.
Mrs. Liu doesn't talk much about him.
So much so that it was only recently that he knew that Su Zhao had also killed Weiwei.
Can you kill weird? And has the sword and crossbow dedicated to the left and right governments, and also followed Wang Xuance to envoy Tianzhu.
All this undoubtedly cast a veil of mystery on Su Zhao, making Su Dawei very curious about this cheap old man.
Wang Xuance, a ruthless man, the lord of a country destroyed by one person!
When he sent Tianzhu to Tianzhu, he would recruit a bad handsome man as an entourage, and it was called up twice.
It can also be seen from this that Su Zhao is by no means an idle person. Otherwise, Wang Xuance would not have been able to look down on him.
Su Dawei had tried to access Su Zhao's file.
However, there is no record of him in the entire Chang'an County Ya.
Zhou Liang once said to him in private: Your father's file, I don't know who took it. And the relevant personnel were also transferred later.
Is it Wang Xuance?
Su Dawei was very skeptical.
However, he couldn't understand why Wang Xuance transferred Su Zhao's file.
"Ami, have you read the Tao Te Ching?"
"Uncle said it, but Lao Tzu?"
"Exactly."
"Reads some."
Su Dawei did read "Lao Tzu", but he read it, not his predecessor.
Li Dayong didn't bother to ask him who he learned "Lao Tzu" from, turned his back to him, stood with his hands in his hands, and looked at the starry sky.
"Then you, do you remember the phrase 'one life, two, two, three, three and all things'?"
"Impressions."
"Then you know, what 'one' is?"
"This ......"
Su Dawei felt dizzy, this big night, just after eating, did you ask me such a profound philosophical question?
This 'one', since Lao Tzu wrote 5,000 words, there have been different opinions.
Opinions of each family, various annotations...... Just such a 'one' word, about its explanation, 10 million words can't be beaten.
"'One' is fundamental?"
"What is it at all?"
"It's ...... at all"
Lao Tzu said Tao, Confucius said benevolence.
The statement is different, but in fact the core is the same.
But this 'Dao', this 'benevolence', how can Su Dawei explain it clearly?
I am afraid that even the most learned people in the world do not dare to answer this question easily.
"I don't know."
The original text of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching is like this: Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things.
If you take it literally, it's very simple, it's Tao.
But what is the Tao?
The Tao is one, and one is not the Tao.
Su Dawei can only use the word 'fundamental' instead, to be honest, he really doesn't know.
"All things are negative yin and embrace yang, yin and yang restrain each other but are born together, and the one who maintains the balance of yin and yang is 'one'."
"I ......"
Su Dawei scratched his head vigorously and smiled bitterly.
This thing is too profound, even if he is traversing the crowd and wants to talk about yin and yang with the ancients, and discuss 'one', there is really no such way.
Fortunately, Li Dayong did not continue on this issue.
"Didn't you just ask me, what is Kailing?"
Su Dawei immediately became interested, nodded again and again, and said, "Please also ask my uncle to teach me." ”
"Guan Yinzi Six Must Chapters" said: One Qi gives birth to all things.
And this 'Yiqi' is the foundation of maintaining the balance of yin and yang and creating all things. It may be the closest to the existence of the Tao, and it can also be called the root of what you say. Yiqi, also known as Yuan Qi, was mentioned by the warlock Wang Yun in the Eastern Han Dynasty in "On Balance". Yuan Qi fills the heavens and the earth, and it is also the foundation for maintaining the heavens and the earth. Lao Tzu said that all things are negative yin and embrace yang, there must be yin and yang, and there are people, and there are weird. When Yuan Qi is out of balance, then yin and yang are disordered, and there will be great disasters.
So, since ancient times, we have been careful to maintain this balance.
In ancient times, the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou was actually a conflict after the disorder of yin and yang...... At that time, there was a real person, Guangchengzi, who created a way to invoke Yuan Qi to restrain the weird. Yuan Qi, existing in heaven and earth, he is formless, colorless, and cannot be captured. This method created by Guang Chengzi, that is, the method of sensing the existence of Yuan Qi, is called enlightenment.
Sensing him, mastering him, and using him, you can call it an immortal, a god, or a Buddha. ”
Li Dayong turned around and stared at Su Dawei.
"I explain that, do you understand?"
