Yuan Zai was missing from the banquet, so it seemed a lot quieter.
Zhou Jun, Shao Chang and Liu Zai were having a lot of fun talking about the customs and customs of the Tang Dynasty while drinking wine.
Later, the three of them simply quit drinking with prostitutes and drank by themselves.
Zhou Jun heard Liu Zai say that the latter was originally a Sima of Quzhou. Because he couldn't stand the officialdom, he abandoned his official position and went to live in seclusion in Wuning Mountain.
Because he was a talented person and well-known, he was summoned by the imperial court to serve as a supervisory censor and called him back.
Liu Zai said: "Before entering Chang'an, I had thought that in this land of the capital, under the rule of saints, everything should be governed by rules and regulations, but I didn't want to be any different from that in Quzhou."
Shao Chang heard this and quickly advised: "Yi Kuang be careful what you say."
Liu Zai drank a glass of wine, shook his head and said, "I have asked the imperial court for a release. When I leave Chang'an, in a few months and a half, I might go back to the mountains and become a wild man."
When Shao Chang heard this, he just sighed: "I'm not happy with the Procuratorate in Yikuang. I'm out of the world, and we are very envious of it."
Liu Zai glanced at Shao Chang and said nothing.
Zhou Jun thought about his past and present life and sighed with emotion. He took a sip of wine and said, "When people enter troubled times, they are like fish entering rivers and lakes."
"When I was young, I always thought about how to ride the tide and make achievements. After some ups and downs, I finally understood something."
"If you want the world to be clear, you must first take advantage of the situation; if you want to perfect others, you must first save yourself."
When Liu Zai heard this sentence, his body was shocked.
After some contemplation, Liu Zai asked Zhou Jun: "If you don't fight with the world, don't care about others, and stay aloof, can you stay away from the world?"
Zhou Jun drank all the wine in the cup, shook his head and said: "It's difficult."
Liu Zai: "Why?"
Zhou Jun: "Someone heard something and said that wherever there are people, there will be a world of its own."
Liu Zai repeated in a low voice: "Where there are people, there will be a world of its own?"
After thinking for a long time, Liu Zai asked again: "If someone is alone and lives alone in the mountains without interacting with others, can he stay away from the world?"
Zhou Jun still shook his head: "It's still difficult."
Liu Zai looked puzzled.
Zhou Jun said: "Someone just said that wherever there are people, there is a world of its own. The word 'people' not only talks about others, but also talks about yourself."
Liu Zai was even more confused.
Zhou Jun: "People have three selves. Instinct desire should be the original self, thinking about the source and dealing with the world should be the self, and moral education should be the superego."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Zai and Shao Chang were as confused as if they were listening to a book from heaven.
Liu Zai cupped his hands towards Zhou Jun and said, "Can Heng Cai explain it in detail?"
Zhou Jun tried hard to recall the criminal psychology courses he took in the police academy. There was a class specifically talking about Freud's "Three I's Personality" theory.
The id is composed of all innate instinctive impulses, the self is the perception and judgment system formed by the influence of the external world, and the superego is the moral requirements and behavioral standards brought by civilized society.
When everyone is thinking about things and making decisions, there is always a conflict and struggle between the three selves of the personality.
Therefore, wherever there are people, there is a world of its own.
This sentence is not only used to describe the world of love and hatred in the broad sense, but also to describe the world of self-struggle and self-criticism in a narrow sense in a person's heart.
However, this theory is very simple to explain to modern people, but it is very difficult to understand for people in the Tang Dynasty.
Zhou Jun thought for a while and decided to try to explain it with examples.
"On a hot summer day, a traveler comes from afar and is very thirsty."
"When I saw the melons and fruits in the fields, I wanted to pick them to quench my thirst."
Liu Zai said: "Taking it without telling you is considered stealing, and it is not what a gentleman does."
Zhou Jun nodded and said: "That man thought so too, so he walked around the melon field, but he didn't find the owner. In this case, what should he do?"
Liu Zai hesitated and said, "Can we wait? Maybe the farmer will arrive later."
Zhou Jun spread his hands and said, "But that man is about to die of thirst."
Liu Zai thought for a while and then said: "You can eat first to meet your urgent needs, and then keep the copper coins as melon supplies."
Zhou Jun clapped his hands and said, "That's it."
"Being thirsty and wanting to eat fruits and melons is the id; being hesitant and unwilling to steal is the superego; and thinking over and over again, eating first and eating later is the self."
After Liu Zai and Shao Chang heard this, they suddenly realized it and praised it.
After a while, Liu Zai asked: "I asked before, if I am alone, living alone in the mountains, without interacting with others, can I leave the world?"
"What does Hengcai's difficulty have to do with the theory of 'three selves'?"
Zhou Jun said: "Suppose a person, who has always been talented and upright, gets an official position and is not used to all the officialdom. He thinks every day whether he should live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and not care about worldly affairs."
Shao Chang laughed out loud when he heard this.
The person in Zhou Jun's words was clearly talking about Liu Zai.
Zhou Jun: "I don't want to get involved in the filth, I don't want to be vain and sarcastic with villains, I just want to be carefree every day and be in the mountains and rivers. This is the innate yearning of human beings, that is, the true self."
"When you get an official position, you report to the court for appreciation, and when you don't live up to the expectations of the people, you endure the humiliation and bear the burden, and move forward with determination. This is the superego."
"Resigning from office and escaping from the world, or ruling the world and bringing peace to the world, which one is more important, the choice is difficult to decide between the two, this is the self."
"If you choose the id and reject the superego, many years later, when you walk out of the mountains and forests, you will find that the outside has long changed."
"The rivers and mountains were invaded and humiliated by the foreign enemy, and the wilderness and the markets were filled with corpses. After asking, I learned that he left that year. Not long after that, the treacherous villain gained power, and then the country was destroyed and the people were mourned.
.”
"When that time comes, will you still have no regrets about your original decision?"
Liu Zai's body trembled and he sat there blankly.
Shao Chang looked around with some worry, and then advised Zhou Jun: "Now is the time of peace and prosperity, the rule of ZTE, how can we talk about the invasion and humiliation of foreign enemies and the piles of corpses?"
"Hengcai's metaphor was out of decency. If outsiders heard it, he would be reprimanded."
Zhou Jun looked at Shao Chang, sighed, and said: "The world is unpredictable, how can we keep silent about military affairs just because we are at ease for a while?"
After saying this, Zhou Jun put down his wine glass, turned his head to Liu Zai and said: "You thought that by resigning, you would be far away from the world. But you don't know that the world in your heart will never leave you.
.”
Liu Zai's face lost all color and his body was shaky.
After a long time, he came back to his senses, stood up, sang a song to Zhou Jun, and said: "Hengcai's words are like a chime bell that shocked the world, shocked the deaf and enlightened, and solved someone's heart knot. Thank you very much Yi Kuang."
Already."
Zhou Jun took a sip of wine, waved his hands and said with a smile: "These words were all heard by a certain person from others. Yi Kuang found them helpful, so naturally they are good."
Shao Chang glanced at Zhou Jun and said helplessly: "I heard it again."
Looking up at the sky outside the window, Shao Chang said, "The sun is setting. Why don't we stop the banquet today?"
Zhou Jun nodded and stood up.
Liu Zai raised his hands and asked Zhou Jun: "Where does Heng Cai live? Yi Kuang should pay him a visit some day."
Zhou Jun thought for a while and replied: "After leaving Chunming Gate, all the way to the north, there is Bachuan Villa. If you have time during the holidays, Yikuang can come as a guest."
Liu Zai agreed.
The three of them said goodbye again, then left the wine shop and went their separate ways.
