755 Let's be practical

There was a wave of not too warm applause from below. The leaders were always very reserved in applause, with almost the same posture, with the right hand on the lower side and the left hand on the upper side, and gently patting him one by one. Wang Baoyu understood that this was just a habitual etiquette and did not express his welcome to himself.

Wang Baoyu was really nervous when he experienced such an occasion for the first time. He looked at the lesson plan on the table, but it was not too complicated. It was all the knowledge he had mastered, and he just copied it.

Wang Baoyu said calmly and said, "Dear leaders, I am honored to be able to explain to you one of the oldest books in China, "The Book of Changes". The Book of Changes is called the first of the many scriptures. After three versions of Lianshan, Guizang and Zhouyi, what we are going to talk about today is the only "The Book of Changes" that retains the complete one."

The leaders listened quietly. After all, they were all people with identities and had not spoken together yet. Wang Baoyu followed the script and talked for nearly half an hour. At the beginning, the leaders pretended to take notes. Later, there were still whispers. Some simply closed their eyes and dozed off, and there was even a bald man walking around from behind, probably going to the toilet, but Wang Baoyu found that he never came back.

Although this scene was expected, it still made Wang Baoyu feel frustrated. If this continues, it would be nice to leave half of the people here to listen to the class in two hours.

However, one of Wang Baoyu's advantages is that he becomes more and more courageous as he sets down. This situation often inspires his fighting spirit. Since he has this opportunity to teach his leaders, he must be good at speaking. Otherwise, after he goes back, he will not be enough to make a joke to the female landlord!

Thinking of this, Wang Baoyu knocked on the blackboard, drew six horizontal bars on it, and said loudly: "The Book of Changes is divided into six lines, and is marked as the first two, thirds, fourths and fifths. We talk about the wisdom of the leader, so what is the wisdom of the leader? In a word, we must clarify our own position."

A young man who dared to speak like this in front of the leaders was really bold. The leaders below immediately became energetic and pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what else he could say below.

Wang Baoyu continued: "In terms of image, the first line represents the lower nine streams of ancient times, the second line represents the general public, the third line represents the grassroots officials, the fourth line represents the high officials of the fourth rank or above, the fifth line represents the emperor, and the sixth line represents the ancestral temple. In other words, the fourth line is exactly where everyone is. The line says that this position is full of danger, because it is close to the position of the emperor, and accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger!"

There was a lot of booing below. Wang Baoyu said this. The department officials still understood this truth and knew the statement in the Book of Changes. However, it still made them feel incredible when a young man said it so bluntly.

"So, how can we solve this danger?" Wang Baoyu asked loudly on the podium with both hands.

No one talked about it. After all, this was a classroom, not a discussion meeting. Everyone was waiting for Wang Baoyu to continue speaking. Wang Baoyu said bluntly: "If you want to relieve this risk, the "Book of Changes" said it very simply, that is, rely on the three lines below, based on the masses, and actively obey the arrangements for the fifth line above."

But this statement made the leaders below feel quite regretful, and it’s all right! The lice on the bald head is obviously, and these are the things that are emphasized in every meeting!

I heard Wang Baoyu continue to say in a very affirmative tone: "What's more important is to tell fortunes and measure good or bad luck!"

Wang Baoyu finally broke through the framework of the Party School President Cai Guangde and turned the topic to fortune-telling. What he did not expect was that the leaders who came down were interested and showed a very interesting expression.

Wang Baoyu ignored those things and said directly: "Everyone, what kind of book is the Book of Changes? We always put philosophy and wisdom on it, for fear that we cannot distinguish it from superstition. To put it bluntly, this is a book of fortune-telling, and there is no doubt about it. Some people say that using the Book of Changes for fortune-telling is a useless trick and is also the lowest level of practice. But a few people in the world who can understand the mystery inside it will go to the top? Even Confucius, who interprets the Book of Changes, may not be able to do it, right? So, let's take a little practical. As for the high-level things, they are understood at home, not what we are talking about in class today!"

Below, the leaders laughed softly, and everyone looked at each other and nodded in acquiescent. They just drank at noon, and they were talking too much, so Wang Baoyu felt thirsty. He took this opportunity to pick up the teacup on the table and drank it full. As soon as he finished drinking, the girl who reported the backstage ran out and replaced him with a new cup of tea.

A middle-aged man in suit and lace and crawlers with a gold-edged eyes raised his hand and said, "Teacher Wang, we just want to understand this knowledge, so you can let go!"

The others echoed and nodded. When Wang Baoyu saw this situation, he was happy. He waved his hand and said, "Leaders, if the Book of Changes is a book of wisdom, then its wisdom lies in communicating the universe and getting hints through fortune-telling, and on the basis of this hint, we understand our fortunes and make choices based on our location. Otherwise, we don't even know the coordinates we are in, so how can we know what to do next?"

Well said! A leader took the lead in applauding, and the people below applauded. This time the applause was a confrontation between hands and full of enthusiasm. Wang Baoyu was energetic, so he simply threw the lesson plan aside and started talking nonsense.

"The sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes are actually the sixty-four keys to open up the mystery of the universe and nature. If you don't know that Yi is not enough to be an official. For example, if you measure Gan as the heaven, then you must understand that you must strive for self-improvement; if you measure Kun as the earth, then you must be tolerant of things; if you measure Shanfeng Gu, then it means that you should pay attention to work style issues and prevent corruption; if you measure Lei Zeguimei, then it means that you have to have a little lover, so you have to hide it well, otherwise it will be a big trouble for both your leader and your wife to catch it." Wang Baoyu explained boldly.
