Not everyone cares about the root of all things in heaven and earth.

But most people care about where it comes from.

Man is one of all things in heaven and earth, and it is also the starting point for all things in heaven and earth to be recognized.

As a result, every nation has its own legends, even more so than the legends of the sun and the moon.

As he and Mozi said, when people can be explained, even people who are not related to the origin of all things in heaven and earth will believe that this method of explanation can explain all things in heaven and earth.

corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes for "Promised Land"; Man is interpreted to Heaven and can explain all things; It's the same kind of relationship.

Man is the most ordinary and the most mysterious, and the appropriate direction is the easiest to explain.

It doesn't need to be said all at once, but it needs to be made up again.

Shi glanced at Mozi and asked cautiously, "Don't you want to hear it first, sir?" ”

Mozi shook his head and said, "Since I said it, I only watched and listened to it in the past few days, and of course I didn't ask." Si Chenghuang's business is not the business of the village community, so I asked you. The day after tomorrow is a matter of the village community, so I don't ask. Besides, I have my own ears and my own mind, and I can always tell whether what you say is reasonable or not. ”

"I want to know a lot of things, but I also want to be heard when I know, so why do you say more? You just do it. ”

"Since I can tell the difference, you are enlightening to me if you are right; If you're wrong, I'll correct you. Just say it, what are you afraid of? ”

"Go ahead and let Si Chenghuang wait a few days."

…………

A day later, people from the village community who had heard "Paradise" within dozens of miles of the neighborhood, or who had been cured by Luhua with simple herbs, or who had seen the harvest with their own eyes, came to the village community where they were located in groups of threes and twos.

Song Shao performed martial arts, and this year is not the year of the three-year big performance. Most of the land in the vicinity was reclaimed, and there was no need to fulfill the obligation to hunt with the nobles, so it was a good day to get together and talk.

Shi Ye prepared for this day a long time in advance, bought a lot of beans with the little money left, ground the beans with the grinding disc that the stone cone helped him make, and boiled the soy milk.

There was no brine and no gypsum, but fortunately, there were already vinegar sellers in the market at this time, so I bought some vinegar and used vinegar and water to make some tofu.

This method is better than gypsum and brine, and only needs to use vinegar for the first time, and then only need to use the residual bean water to ferment and become sour.

This is the use of pH to coagulate proteins, which is similar to the salt ion effect of brine and gypsum, with the same result, but softer and smoother.

He crossed the former young and lowly, so he can do more despicable things, and coming here has also become a lofty ability, which is in response to the old saying that Seong knows if he loses his horse.

There is not a lot of tender white tofu to prepare, and everyone who comes here to party does not eat much. But just like the coriander and chili peppers added to the last fish soup, it's a kind of hope that can be seen and touched.

For this rural gathering, Shi also specially prepared a venue.

The purpose of religious architecture is always to make people feel small, so that they can create a sense of humility, and it is appropriate to do the opposite.

Whether it is a church in Europe or the Temple of Heaven in China, it is the embodiment of this architectural technique that makes people feel small and humble to the extreme. The Temple of Heaven uses the means of the unity of heaven and man, but standing on the steps of the Temple of Heaven and looking up is contrary to the unity of heaven and man, leaving only the sky wide and the people are insignificant.

He wanted to do the opposite, so he chose a hill, and with the help of the angle of the afternoon sun shining from the west, let people stand on the hill and look east, so that the scene of the sunset produced by the world is cloudy in the eyes of everyone.

When the people were basically gathered, the children in the village community lined up and stood in the west of everyone, with the sunset behind them. He stood on the east side of the crowd, waiting for the place where he would preach.

These children were taught by his own hands, and he also tried to turn "Promised Land" into music for later generations, and used it as a means of singing.

Anything that is useful can go to its groove to extract its essence and use it for others, and it has always been unselective for various means.

In his opinion, the tone of "Promised Land" is best chosen by Bach's "Dispersion in B minor".

The early stage is heavy and melancholy, and the life depicted in "Promised Land" contrasts with reality. By the time of the Ode to Glory, it turns into joy and excitement, and it also happens to be the part of the Psalm that signals the people to be united.

It's just that his level is really limited, and it is not easy for these village children to master such difficult variations, and he is also a clever woman who has no rice to cook, so he had to settle for the second best and chose the fourth movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, which is the easiest to learn to sing "Ode to Joy".

When the hundreds of people had quieted down, the reed mats that stood behind the children who were standing in rows were suddenly lifted.

The calculated angles and deliberately located slopes keep the sunlight out of sight at first.

When the reed mat was lifted, the golden sunlight suddenly sprinkled down, enveloping everyone in the sun.

Dozens of immature children's voices, opening their mouths to sing the poems after the change, the Book of Poetry, the proverbial paradise.

Flowing fire in July, clothing in September. On the first day, the wheat is filled, and on the second day, the snow is seen. Rui Xue ankle ankle, will have a good year. The third day is in the plow, and the fourth day is the jade. With my neighbors, the ridges are private, and the hills are happy.

Flowing fire in July, clothing in September. In spring, there is a sun, and there is Naruto Geng. The child sat in the community house, asked the words to learn the scriptures, and begged Mozan. Spring is late, flying kites Qi Qi. His heart is happy, and he forgets to return to his mother's responsibility late.

Flowing fire in July, picking flowers in August. The moon is full of snow, take the other side around, pick the ghost peach, and cut the straw. Rolled in September and spun in October. The color is as white as snow, the cloth is wide and long, and the clothes are cut.

Beans are planted in April and wheat is harvested in May. Mill the mortar and harvest it, and cut the grain into powder. On the first day, take the jade grass and eat it for the cattle. On the second day, it is said that the lamb is killed, the wine is feasted, and the remaining meat is hidden in ice.

In May, the cockroach moved the stock, in June the chicken shook the feather, in July in the wild, in August in Yu, in September in the household, and in October the cricket came under my bed. Suffocate the salary, seal to the straw. Please my wife and son, said to change the year, enter this room.

Build a field in September, and harvest in October. Jade refers to bean melon, hemp and wheat. Like my farmer, my crops are the same, adjust the mud and the room wind. Cattle are fed during the day, and dolphin food is cooked at night. Urgently need to be fertile for livestock, and sow it in autumn.

On the second day, the martial arts were performed, and on the third day, the ancestors were sacrificed. On the fourth day, the flea melted, and the snow melted. One is renewed, and everything is renewed. Suitable for the paradise, heaven for the will. The noble and the low are impermanent, each doing his best, waiting for this, waiting for this......

The falsified pseudo-July is one less paragraph than the July Flowing Fire in the Book of Songs.

The paragraph that is missing has been made up in the first place, but it is not daring to be sung.

The last stanza is already very explicit, and it is almost sung that the sky is dead and the yellow sky is standing; The prince will have a kind of Xiangning; Or it's about to burn the fire red.

That is, because of the last paragraph that has been there, Gongsun Ze gave an evaluation of "conforming to the wrong and confusing people's hearts".

Although it can be explained explicitly, it is said that the winter martial arts sacrifice to ancestors is not a preparation for rebellion, but just a traditional custom; Singing about the arrival of spring and the renewal of all things is not an allusion to the arrival of a new era, but simply singing about spring, which is just a dream and not a dream to get a happy land.

If you add the last paragraph that these people are not taught to sing, it will not be explained, and now this strength has long been cut in half and abandoned in the city.

The difference from the original July Flowing Fire is that the original poem is a mixture of bitterness and joy, like a realistic picture, so that people can know the hardships of farmers and their daily lives.

After the change, all the suffering is changed into happiness, just like depicting a dream that is close at hand, so that every farmer feels familiar and strange.

There is not a word of bitterness, not a word of pain.

But the most beautiful happiness, as opposed to the real reality, is the most painful sorrow.

The contrast of sadness, coupled with the child's voice full of immaturity and hope, and the cheerful tune of "Ode to Joy", give people hope.

Not a dream hope, but a realistic hope.

When it really comes one day, these people who sing these ballads will perform martial arts and sacrifice to their ancestors left and right, seeking a renewal of the beginning and all things.

If there is no one to save, then rely on yourself, the simple truth is as simple as the farmer knows that if he wants to eat, he will first farm the land. Knowing that planting can be harvested, who wants to gather and hunt?

Since Shi told them that planting and planting instead of gathering and hunting was a kind of fourth paradise, then since it had already been realized, why not pursue the fifth paradise?

…………

In the crowd, Gongzaozhu, the younger brother of Gongzaoye, who is also an ink artist, was intoxicated by this music, and subconsciously stretched out his fingers and gently hit the lap that was kneeling on the ground.

Mozi watched from the sidelines, just smiled and didn't say anything.

The Mohists emphasize non-music, but Gongzao is a person who understands music, not only knows music, but also casts musical instruments.

The grandfather of Gongzao and Gongzao was a native of Chu and was once hired by the King of Chu as a caster to cast bells for him.

Casting bronzes requires a family-passed craft, and most of them are government-run in the Spring and Autumn Period, similar to the craftsman system, which is passed down from father to son. However, with the development of productive forces, some of the descendants of the people left the government and traveled between countries with technology.

If the bronze inscription has the words "Cast Guest" on it, it is a hired craftsman; And the inscription has a smelter so-and-so, who is a member of the government-run handicraft industry appointed.

In that year, King Chu Zhao was destroyed by Wu Zixu and Sun Wuzi, fled to Zeng State, and was rescued by Zeng Hou. Zeng is also an important vassal state of Chu, and has the credit of saving King Zhao of Chu, so King Chu Hui later cast a bell to send Zeng Hou Yi.

At that time, in order to cast bells, famous craftsmen from all over the world were hired, and the grandfather of the Gongzao brothers also participated in the bell casting process.

It is precisely because they know the complexity of casting bells and the manpower consumed that they also agree with the Mo family's festival funeral and non-happiness theory, and become ink masters.

When I was a child, I knew the music, and the music that was not music was not the music sung by the common people.

It was a long time after Tong Yin sang the chorus a second time, and Gong Zao Zhu stopped beating his fingers.

"How?"

Mozi asked.

Gongzao Casting thought about it for a long time.

"The elephant is invisible, and the voice is loud."

"I didn't talk about the world, and the largest scope was only between the villages and communities, and what I sang was just a trivial matter such as spring planting and autumn harvest, male ploughing and female weaving, and children learning words. But the village communities here can be sung, the villages of the Jin Kingdom can also be sung, and the villages of the Qin State, Qi State, and Yan State can also be sung. Thousands of villages, what is it if not the world? ”

"There were no strings and drums at all, just a group of children singing there. But the children can sing, because they flew a kite and went home and were scolded by their mother; Men may sing as they have repaired their ploughshares and are ready to plow; Women can sing because they are picking ghost peaches and spinning white cloth...... Men, women, and children can all sing, that is, people all over the world are singing, Kyushu sings together, and what kind of bell and drum music can be grander than this? ”

"Princes and princes gather the copper of the world, and heaven and earth are furnaces, the sun and the moon are charcoal, and they cannot cast a chime that can be compared. Within ten years, this music will be flourishing in the Central Plains. There is no snow to grow rice in the Chu country, and it is not difficult to change only one or two. ”

"Gongsun Ze said that it is suitable for him, with what Gongsun Ze has learned, he really didn't wronged him! Hahahaha......"

…………

As Gongzao Zhu said, the poem of this proverb was written in this village community, but it is talking about the village community of the world. Just like the song about the wide waves of the river, it is a certain river that sings, but it can make everyone think of the river in their hometown.

The farmer who came from afar listened to the tune, tasted the soft and smooth tofu, and got drunk in the song of children's music and the setting sun.

The song seemed to come to life in my mind, turning into a wooden stick, and slowly drawing such a picture on the sand......

Flowing fire in July, clothing in September. Irrigation of wheat in November, and the snow in December, when the snowflakes fall to the ankles, next year will be a good harvest year. In the first month, the ploughshare is made with bad gold, which is said to be pulled by an ox, and in February, the people of the village community go down to the field to plant corn. Planted on the ground that he had cultivated, and made ridges and moisture on it, and laughed and laughed among the hills.

Flowing fire in July, clothing in September. When spring comes, cuckoos chirp, and children sit in the village community, trying to learn to read and write, hoping to be praised by the inkers who teach them. The spring day was late, and I had to memorize the nine numbers when I went back at night, but the kite was flying, so I forgot that the nine numbers flew the kite, and I was scolded by my mother when I went home late.

Flowing fire in July, picking flowers in August. It's August, but it's snowing in the fields, and those cotton peaches are blooming and waiting to be harvested. Fetching their bibs, the women went together to pick peaches, and the men took sickles to harvest the corn stalks. In September, the cotton is rolled into strips, and in October, the cloth is more than a foot wide and white as snow, just for the family to cut winter clothes, and you can also put cotton on it to keep warm.

Beans are planted in April and wheat is harvested in May. The harvested wheat is fed with a millstone and a mill to remove the outer skin to reveal the inner dough, and this is eaten throughout the year. In November, when the north wind was blowing, the men brought the corn stalks from the harvest and fed them to the cows, and fenced the barn from the north wind. In December, pigs and sheep are slaughtered, and the neighbors are feasted, and the meat that cannot be eaten will be frozen in the ice and snow and will not rot.

After May, June, July, August, September and October, it is necessary to prepare firewood in advance for winter. Paint your new house, use that kind of grass and wood, seal the windows facing north, so that the cold wind does not blow in and the fire is lit inside. My wife and children are so happy, and I want to live in it during the New Year, it's so warm, it's so warm.

Prepare the yard in September and harvest the crops in October. Corn, sweet potato, potato, wheat, pumpkin, carrot, sesame, peanuts, soybeans...... It's all reaped. The farmer was so happy that when the harvest was over, he had to mix the mud and fix the leaks in the house. In the morning, the cow grass should be prepared, and in the evening the pigs should be cooked with alfalfa. The cow must be full, and when the cow grows fat and strong, it is just right to plant wheat.

In December, when the north wind blew, the farmers lined up to rehearse the army according to what they had learned; A good day in the first month of the year, worship the ancestors and those sages who uphold the will of heaven. Winter is cold, but spring is just around the corner. When the ice melts and the snow melts in February, spring comes, everything is new, everything is different. The change of the four seasons in spring, summer, autumn and winter is a heavenly will, and such a paradise is also a heavenly will. O paradise of impermanence and people's talents, come quickly, come quickly......
