Chapter 671: Not Just Living
Time passed unconsciously, and it was late at night in the blink of an eye.
The two of them only talked and did not eat. Lunch, dinner, and supper are all served at noon. Tea! The two of them drank a lot. Maybe it was because he was talking and using his brain, but the tea he drank didn't turn into urine, and neither of them went to the toilet.
Uncle Nangong Jing and Fang Zhong had lunch and dinner normally. After dinner, the two read a book in the Zhou Tibetan room for a while, and then went to sleep.
In the Zhou Tibetan room, there are often talented people or people from all over the Great Zhou Dynasty who come to read books and visit friends, and live in it temporarily. So! There are room beds. Other than that! In the corner of the storeroom, especially under the light, there is also a simple bed. You can sit on the bed or lie on the bed and read a book.
Once upon a time! Fang Jishi often lives in the Zhou Tibetan room. When Le Ge came to look for relatives, he also lived in the Zhou Tibetan room.
Lao Tzu's assistant and others in the Zhou Zang room have long been accustomed to Lao Tzu's situation. Whenever Lao Tzu meets someone who asks for advice, he will be like this: if he doesn't solve the problem, he won't give up! Unless! Others couldn't listen to him, and they couldn't continue to communicate, so they stopped.
The so-called "assistants" are actually Lao Tzu's "students".
Of course! They are all talented people in the Great Zhou world, and they are all learned people. Ordinary people can't enter the Zhou Zang Room. The people who can stay and help Lao Tzu sort out the ancient books can be imagined! They learned.
These people! Not only can he help Lao Tzu sort out ancient books, but he is also a follower of Lao Tzu. So! They supported Lao Tzu's preaching.
Lao Tzu's philosophy is the philosophy of life. It can also be said! It is the ultimate philosophy of mankind. If you really understand Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, then! Your life will no longer have any waves.
Life! It's just a life process, what do you say you toss? Mankind! It's just a species between heaven and earth, what do you say you are tossing? What is left in history, and what is stinking for thousands of years? What are you in the face of history?
When there is human history, you may be able to have a name in the history books. When the human species no longer exists, where did the history books come from?
Of course! It's not about teaching us to live negatively. But! That's how life is! So! As long as you really get it, you don't want to toss anymore. Live plainly, peacefully, live, and complete the process of this life, that's it!
In fact! Alive! Stay alive! It's not that simple! Don't underestimate it! Of course! If you're not stupid? It is not an easy task for you to live peacefully and plainly. But! Survival wisdom is needed!
Because! You live in the real world!
If you live in troubled times, you can imagine! It's harder to survive. If you are lucky enough to live in a prosperous world, you may not be able to live a peaceful and ordinary life, and you will also have countless troubles in life!
So! Alive! It's not an easy thing to do. Alive! It requires wisdom.
If you are a fool and just to live simply, then! That's really easy. It doesn't matter if others bully you, it doesn't matter if others beat you, even if you can't survive, you don't care. Anyway! Everyone is going to die, and they have to die sooner or later? It's a pity you're not stupid! Just being bullied to death, you are not convinced!
Because you're not stupid, you'll have to find a solution if someone bullies you. Outcome! Life is not simple.
Because you are not a fool, you still know how to run, know how to evade, and know how to resist when others beat you. Outcome! Life is not simple.
Because you're not stupid, if someone wants to kill you, you won't think, "Aren't all people going to die?" If you die sooner or later, you have to die." But! Think: You haven't finished this life yet.
Human life is a complete process: born naturally and died naturally, not killed by man! Deprived of the right to live. So! You're going to have to resist! Outcome! Life is not simple.
These people who stayed, they were not only for a piece of the Zhou Dynasty, not only for sorting out ancient books, and not just for following Lao Tzu......
But! Normal life.
They need a stipend for their own lives and for their families.
They have the ability to organize ancient books, and they feel that it is important and necessary for human beings to organize ancient books. And also! It's their hobby! Only they can do this job, and others can't do it!
They follow Lao Tzu because they feel that living with Lao Tzu will save a lot of unnecessary trouble. I won't quarrel with others, let alone with Lao Tzu. How beautiful this harmonious life is. So! They don't want to leave.
They work in the Zhou Library, and their usual work is to sort out ancient books.
Second! When someone comes to borrow a book, they are responsible for looking for it, just like librarians in the early modern world. And then! Recorded. When someone else comes to return the book, put it back where it was. And then! Record the date of return.
Third! Responsible for answering questions from visiting scholars. Just as Lao Tzu answered Confucius's question at this time, this is their job. Confucius came to visit him because he came to visit Lao Tzu. So! All they do is hospitality.
Of course! If Confucius had asked them, they would have answered. But! Maybe not as well-informed as Lao Tzu.
With their learning, answering Confucius's question should not be a problem, but! Communication is skillful. Just because you're knowledgeable doesn't mean you're going to communicate, does it? Similarly! People who can communicate don't necessarily have any knowledge. A person who is both knowledgeable and communicative is a talent.
Fourth! Compile and collect ancient books and popular books that are not available in the Zhou Library.
The so-called popular books are the books that are borrowed by the public the most. If you want to keep one copy in the storage room, you have to burn one out quickly.
Compiling ancient books that are not available in the Zhou Collection is a very difficult task, and the workload is also very large. The premise is that you must collect ancient books in this area among the people, and then organize and copy them.
In a word! For a responsible librarian, the work in the library can never be done. As long as you love and dedicate yourself, there are things you have to do.
The content of the conversation between Lao Tzu and Confucius, for these assistants, was too lazy to listen. It's true! For them, this is universal education, and they don't need to use their brains. So! When the two were talking, they were all busy with their own business, and they were not around.
But! In order to serve Lao Tzu, they will come over after a while and sneak a glance to see if it is not service?
Lao Tzu is not the kind of person who absolutely needs others to serve, there are many things, he does it himself. When others serve him, that is respect for him. When you are a gentleman to the princes in the palace, you should be treated in the palace and served by others.
When he was a guest secretary for Zhou Tianzi, he enjoyed the guest secretary treatment. That treatment! Second only to Zhou Tianzi's level.
Confucius was also a person who had seen the world, and he had a good relationship with Lu Gong (Lu Zhao Gong) and Qi Gong (Qi Jing Gong), and was their guest. can be compared with Lao Tzu, it is still a little second, Lao Tzu is Zhou Tianzi's guest. And also! Wherever Lao Tzu goes, he is respected. The reputation of the number one talent in the world of the Great Zhou Dynasty is unparalleled!
