Liang Shuang couldn't tell whether the old lady had other intentions, but the old lady had always been kind. She believed that she wouldn't have any opinions about her just because her cooking was delicious. She was also wronged, and she was also afraid of this.
, but she did what Tang Lin asked her to do. Anyway, Tang Lin has been having guests recently, and she has almost become his personal nanny, taking care of both the old and the young.
Moreover, the old and the young are not so easy to take care of. She bit her lip and regarded this as another kind of experience for herself, and it was not without its benefits. In the future, she could also be said to be Mr. Peng's student. This was a big deal.
She even felt that her grandfather's good deeds in building the reservoir were rewarded with good things.
She is not superstitious, but her grandfather did teach her many principles of life. Although she was still young when her grandfather passed away, she benefited a lot from being carried on his shoulders to the reservoir since she was a child.
Seeing that she was getting nervous again, the old lady immediately said to her, "Child, don't be nervous. I know about your grandfather, your father, and you. Your family is guarding a reservoir. This kind of thing is rare, and what's even more rare is that your family is guarding a reservoir."
They are all low-key and sincere. Guarding means guarding. I have never thought about using the reservoir to develop or anything. In fact, I have been to Dongshan Reservoir, or I know your grandfather, because when the reservoir was first built, I helped to look at it..."
Tang Lin and Liang Shuang were both shocked when the old lady said this. Tang Lin was the first to react, "Old lady, are you serious? Do you know Grandpa Liang Shuang and you also participated in the opinions on Dongshan Reservoir?"
The old lady nodded lightly, but Liang Shuang's eyes were filled with tears of excitement. She didn't know or know about this because she was too young, but in an instant her closeness to the old lady increased a lot, but she opened her mouth
Nothing was said.
The old lady continued, "Some young people believe in Feng Shui in metaphysics, and some don't. In fact, when Grandpa Liang Shuang invited me there by chance, he wanted to give himself more confidence. After all, it is really difficult to build a reservoir and a dam in Dongshan."
It is very large. Reservoirs are generally places where dragons soar, because dragons cannot live without water. Dragons are born in water. I did read the Feng Shui of Dongshan at that time, but I did not talk about Feng Shui. What I told Grandpa Liang Shuang was confidence.
It was the structure of the rock and the structure of the dam that then convinced him of his design and experience.”
Tang Lin squinted his eyes and listened. When the old lady stopped, he immediately smiled and asked, "But in fact, there is still a hint of Feng Shui here, right? You just didn't tell Grandpa Liang Shuang directly. In fact, I have never had any impression of metaphysics before.
It was only after I met the old lady that I became interested. The things contained in metaphysics are also profound and profound. Old lady, can you tell me about it?"
Tang Lin was indeed interested, so he asked.
The old lady looked at him quietly and then said, "When it comes to metaphysics, ignorant people often refer to it as "superstition"; superficial people regard "fortune telling" and "feng shui" as the authentic metaphysics. It is true that fortune telling
, Feng Shui also belongs to the application category of metaphysics, and it has indeed affected the recuperation and rejuvenation of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. The Chinese nation is so strong today, and metaphysics should have a great contribution. The metaphysics here include Taoism, Buddhism, and traditional Chinese medicine.
etc. But in fact, what I am more concerned about is the impact of metaphysics on a person, a society, and the bearing of Chinese civilization."
"I believe that when the ancients studied and summarized the laws of metaphysics, they not only saw fortune telling and feng shui, but also saw its benign influence on individuals and society. In a small way, metaphysics can help a person cultivate his moral character and maintain physical health.
, to realize the wish of longevity; generally speaking, metaphysics can help people understand the laws of social development, prevent the slightest change, and maintain prosperity for a long time."
"According to the metaphysical view of yin and yang, if a person's own yin and yang are harmonious, and water and fire are both in balance, he will be free from all diseases. The root cause of diseases lies in the "disharmony of yin and yang". For example, any disease in the body is caused by
Bacteria and viruses are the results of "disharmony between yin and yang", which are just Western thinking. Ancient Chinese metaphysics only recognized "yin and yang and the five elements". In other words, as long as "yin and yang are in harmony" and "water and fire are both harmonious", the body itself will produce resistance.
Diseases and substances that repair body damage. These substances and those disease-causing bacteria and viruses are in a "mutual and mutually reinforcing" relationship. Therefore, the ancients said that people themselves have "big medicine" that can "turn decay into magic." But you don't
Just know how to use it. After truly understanding metaphysics, through your own practice, you can say that some diseases can actually be "cured without medicine." This is the importance of metaphysics to personal health."
"On a larger scale, metaphysics can enlighten us in observing social phenomena. For example, dynasties in history have the so-called "historical cycle law" from prosperity to decline and destruction. This can also be explained by metaphysics. In periods of prosperity,
It can be seen that society was in the "yang" stage at that time, and when society is corrupted and decayed, it can be seen as being in the "yin" stage. Therefore, everything in the world is always in a state of transition from masculine to feminine, and then from feminine to masculine.
A cycle that starts over and over again. But what we care about is how to extend the cycle of this cycle as much as possible to keep the "yang" phase longer. In fact, there is a method to follow, which is "Be prepared for danger in times of peace." "Safe"
It is "Yang", and "Danger" is "Yin". So Laozi once said, "Know the male and guard the female." The male is Yang and the female is Yin. The two are interoperable. Therefore, for a society,
We must always maintain a prudent attitude of "being prepared for danger in times of peace," then this society can be truly "harmonious."
"Lao Tzu said: "Know the constant appearance, appearance is the public, public is the whole, the whole is the sky, the sky is the Tao, the Tao is the long, the body is not in danger." People can achieve "die without illness", "lose the body and not be in danger", society can also
Maintain "harmony" and healthy development for a long time. Haha, I haven't told people this for a long time. In fact, metaphysics to me is just self-cultivation and cultivation. It is not that high or that great. People need to know their own situation and their own position.
.People should be knowledgeable, not pedantic, people should be tolerant, not narrow-minded..."
The two young people were fascinated by the old lady's point of view. What the old lady said was very simple but the truth was very profound. Metaphysics was a new topic for them. No one around them could say such a thing.
.Just like Chinese medicine, and Chinese medicine is actually a part of metaphysics.
Shan, medicine, fortune, divination, and fortune-telling are collectively referred to as the five arts of metaphysics.
In fact, metaphysics has been developing. Some have been denied and abandoned with the progress of society, while some are still passed down and continued to be carried forward. This is also part of traditional culture. There is no need to think that it is superstitious. Just ask which project is started and which farmhouse is built.
Why don’t you take a look at the house and do the math?
Tradition must be respected, and science must also be respected. The important thing is, as the old lady said, people should be knowledgeable and not pedantic, and people should be tolerant and not narrow-minded.
