Chapter 03: Map-Seeking Thieves
"University" is actually like a big box full of all kinds of boat parts.
The Confucian way of cultivating a gentleman has all been clearly displayed in front of everyone's eyes.
However, it does not explain in more detail how to assemble the parts and finally build a great boat, that is, the parts of this large box are not ...... , assemble the drawings!
If you can't spell a small boat out, then how can you move forward in a chic way in the sea of red dust and bitterness?
This is the only reason why the ancient book "University" is very simple and very important.
Some people are very powerful, and after watching "University", they snap and bang...... , you can immediately put your boat together, and go directly on the road happily.
And more people, but they don't even have the part of "Gewu" at all...... , that's not going to be done well.
Today is in a good state, and I have been working great, but the next day, I suddenly met a beautiful girl unexpectedly, so the third, fourth, and fifth days ...... , I threw myself on the matter of picking up girls, and finally one day, I remembered that I was going to fight hard, but the next day I found another ...... , something that feels fun.
In this state of bullshit that is out of tune every day, even if you understand "University" and have already obtained that big box of parts, what is the use?
Of course, the real state of personality is not the same as concentration, it is not deliberately ignoring all kinds of external disturbances, but a kind of powerful state in which the world disturbances come, but the heart is always immovable.
It's a bit of that kind of ten thousand flowers, and it doesn't touch the body at all, but it is much higher than this realm, so if you can't reach the state of physical character, then it is simply difficult to sail forward leisurely in the sea of red dust and bitterness.
After all, there are too many beautiful things in the world, and there are too many tempting things, and if you encounter a cause and a little, you may be immediately lured to other waterways, and you will never be able to reach the destination you set at the beginning.
Therefore, the realm of the saint is actually very high, he said that he has always been "the benevolent are not worried, the wise are not confused, and the brave are not afraid", this road is hard, and has not yet reached the end, in fact, it is a big truth!
After all, the sea of suffering is boundless, and until the day when he finally breathes, the cultivation of this life will not be over at all, and the saints who have already sailed happily on his own treasure ship are much taller than ordinary people.
To put it bluntly, people are people who have ships, and they are also giant luxury cruise ships, and the countless creatures that are constantly fluttering in the bitter sea can only look up at the giant ship in the distance and continue to swim sadly in the bitter sea.
Therefore, in order to become a boat owner and make it easier for yourself in the sea of suffering, then you have to find that drawing and put your boat together!
This is to study Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Christ, Mohammadism...... , blah, blah, blah, all the great ship-level navigators, the classic reason written.
Hard work, after all, is only for yourself, for your own life, this has nothing to do with anyone, so, except for those who were born with a boat, or have built their own boat, or like to flutter in the sea of suffering, those classics left by the predecessors of navigators will be of great value to all smart people who want to become a boat family and be more relaxed on their own life path.
Everyone's boat looks different, no matter how big or small, beautiful or ugly it is, as long as it can be spelled out, it is a useful and good ship, so after getting a bunch of parts, the second step is to do it...... , of course, is looking for drawings!
However, the bad luck is bad luck here, because the years are too far away, and after all kinds of wars, the Confucian shipbuilding drawings ...... , gone!
It can't be said that it's gone, and the fragmentary information of various drawings can still be found, but these fragmentary information are true and false, and they are not systematic at all, so it is not much useful to find them.
The only Confucian classics left over from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are "University", "The Mean", "Analects", "Mencius", plus a copy of "Xunzi", which is of great value, and there are some other classics, but they are basically useless.
Among the five useful classics, the role of "University" and "The Mean" is actually similar, they are all parts of a big box, but the parts in "The Mean" are more traceable, those who are smarter than the smartest, slightly inferior, if you get the parts in "The Mean", you can slowly put together your own boat, but there are also no drawings.
The two classics of "Analects" and "Mencius" are basically the "Dialogues" of the East, which contains many scattered cow beep parts, such as super engines and super propellers...... , wait, wait, this kind of cow beep is equipped separately, but even if you can get these very powerful parts, you can't spell the Analects and Mencius cruises.
The reason is obvious, there are too many parts missing, and even if you get these more powerful parts before you build your own boat, it will be useless at all.
And the classic "Xunzi", there are very few parts in it, and it is very general, it mainly expounds the way of leveling the world, although it will be of great help to the leaders, but the people in the world are concerned about my, and it is the most important thing to build the boat quickly.
Therefore, an extremely bitter road to find a map has unfolded in such a bad way.
From a generation of Confucian tyrant Dong Zhongshu, I have always found a generation of Ming Confucian Wang Yangming, I don't know how much I have seen in a mess, and finally came to an answer - useless!
Of course, in fact, these works are very good and valuable, but because my qualifications are too low, really, this is not a humble word, it is too low, so low that I often want to cry with my head in my head.
Therefore, I could never find the drawings of the boat, and I couldn't put together my own boat at all.
Eh, when people are unlucky to the extreme, that is, will they come to Jitai, when they have given up looking for drawings and wantonly enjoy their lives, suddenly, a generation of master Mr. Nan Huaijin actually passed away, therefore, out of respect and curiosity for this old-timer who is said to be a modern living Buddha, therefore, the next day I bought all of Mr. Nan's works, and looked stupid again.
Mr. Nan's things are very good, the demeanor of a generation of masters is also full, and the interpretation of the classics is also in place, but this old gentleman's courage is not big enough, and he is too cautious, so he doesn't dare to explain a lot of things, as if he is afraid of being blamed by others.
This is a strict old gentleman, respectable professionalism, is very good.
However, for a map-seeker from a wild road, but still an extremely cheeky guy, who is not afraid of being abused by others, these problems do not exist at all.
And for the mappers, the location of the drawings pointed out by the old gentleman - the Buddhist family, that is really helpful.
Therefore, for all the old gentlemen dare not explain thoroughly, Confucianism needless to say, this road has already been traveled a long time ago, so just look at the old gentleman's writings, the good ones are packed into their own bags, and the bad ones are kept for the old gentleman, for the Confucian thief seeker, this is a matter of easy control.
However, the old gentleman did not dare to explain the Buddhist classics thoroughly, and the seeker immediately caught blind, after all, he had never read a Buddhist book before, so he could only start cautiously, like a thief, and began to touch those treasure troves with extreme caution.
Then, after a little introduction, he began to wander around in front of the doors of those treasure houses, and no one cared anyway, whatever he wanted.
So, when this little thief who pulled the wind was sure that he had the ability to smash the door, he immediately turned into the most stupid and bold super thief in the world, kicked open the doors of the Buddhist treasure house, and plundered all the treasures inside, and in the end, he found the one, and he had already found it...... , a full fifteen years of drawings.
