Can you live forever

Chapter 30 What is the Poet, the Book of the Son of Heaven
"Does Doctor Guanglu have a salary?"

Zhang Zhixiang didn't answer directly, but asked a rhetorical question.

Wang Yangming was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Indeed, there is no salary, so what's the difference between the early years and the late years? Hahaha..."

The salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were still determined in Hongwu 25 years. It is difficult not to starve to death if you really live by the salary. Moreover, the scattered officials and lords in the Ming Dynasty are different from those in Tang and Song Dynasties. A supplement to the assessment system.

Doctor Guanglu like Zhang Zhixiang looks very honorable from the first rank.

But he has neither any rights nor salary to receive, and others will not really regard him as a first-rank official.

At most... a mascot.

Putting aside the superficial honor, isn't that the reason?

Wang Yangming rubbed Zhang Zhixiang's head lovingly. If he had any expectations for his son, he thought it would be great if his son could grow into Zhang Zhixiang.

He pulled Zhang Zhixiang to sit beside him, and asked, "Have you ever read a book?"

"I read some."

"Have you read the Book of Songs?"

Zhang Zhixiang nodded hesitantly. He has read many books, but he can memorize them all. As for whether he can understand them, he still has no confidence in the basic annotations, let alone understand them.

"What is poetry?"

""Shuowen Jiezi", the poet, the heart is also."

"wrong."

Wang Yangming interrupted with a smile. He dipped his hands in the tea on the stone table, wrote a word "poem", and said: "Poet, the temple also speaks."

"What is the temple?"

Although he was asking, he didn't wait for Zhang Zhixiang to answer. He waved his hand around the Jiming Temple and said, "The temple is not a temple, but the court! The temple in the court is the court in the court."

"The temple is the imperial court."

"The reason why the imperial court has nine temples as its institutions naturally has its historical origins. In ancient times, the ancestors opened up all over the world and built temples as a system. Each temple worshiped the central government and respected the emperor."

"Is it familiar?"

"That's right, this is enfeoffment, the temple is a vassal state, and the collection of all the temples is the imperial court!"

"Poets, those who talk about the division of feudalism and the establishment of the system in ancient times!"

"The Book of Songs, the Book of the Ancient Son of Heaven!"

Zhang Zhixiang was overwhelmed by the majestic atmosphere, and Zhang Zhixiang couldn't help subconsciously asking after being shocked: "Isn't the Book of Songs written by Zhou people?"

Wang Yangming smiled and said: "Shang Shang Yongli, the three generations have the same origin, and the people of Zhou dare not change the scriptures of the Son of Heaven, so they regard Shang Ya as Xiao Ya and Zhou Ya as Da Ya."

"The master took the scriptures from Zhou's library, seeing Lao Tzu is like seeing a real dragon."

"Lao Tzu is a dragon, and the knowledge of Zhou's library is a real dragon. It is the avenue passed down from ancient times. Only when the avenue is broken, can hundreds of schools come out."

"The Book of Songs is more than 8000 years away."

For Zhang Zhixiang, what Wang Yangming said was like seeing the sun through the clouds, clearing the fog of history at once, and raising his vision infinitely. Hearing what Mr. Yangming said, he realized that his father's finding evidence of the Feathered Serpent God from the Book of Songs was not a joke the...

The Book of Songs is the epic of China.

Seeing that Zhang Zhixiang was comprehending and digesting, Wang Yangming smiled and stroked his beard, but the next light words hit Zhang Zhixiang's soul heavily.

He said: "Now can you understand what is said in "The Book of Songs Xiaoya Beishan": Is it the land of the king under the whole world, and the land of the land is the subject of the king?"

In an instant, the grandeur of the ancestors suddenly disappeared.

When Zhang Zhixiang looked at the past and the present, he had a core benchmark to compare with. When he first met Mr. Yangming, he benefited a lot from a few words.

Seeing that he had comprehended it, Wang Yangming smiled, and asked again: "Have you read "Thousand Characters"?"

"I have read it."

This time Zhang Zhixiang answered affirmatively, because his father taught him the Thousand-Character Classic, and Zhang Baichuan quoted extensively, which gave Zhang Zhixiang a certain depth of understanding of the Thousand-Character Classic.

"The heaven and earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is prehistoric. What's the explanation?"

Wang Yangming studied again, and Zhang Zhixiang replied: "Heaven and earth are hybridized into a black and yellow color. The upper and lower directions are called the universe, and the past and present are called the universe. In ancient times, the world was full of floods and wilderness. This sentence is intended to describe the creation of the heaven and the earth and explain the formation of the world."

A familiar smile appeared on the corner of Wang Yangming's mouth, and the old Tianshi seemed to have smiled like this before.

He said, "Shallow."

"The man who is mysterious and yellow is the miscellaneous of heaven and earth, the sky is mysterious and the earth is yellow."

"Heaven and earth are colorless. In the innate state, the innate spirit of 'heaven' is invisible, and nature is colorless. The chaos and disorder of 'earth' are also colorless. The heaven and earth are yellow and yellow. It talks about the process of the universe from innate to acquired. "

"Xuan is a wonderful word."

""Shuowen Jiezi" has a saying that it is remote and far away, and that which is black and red is mysterious."

"Youyuan is the original intention, and the black and red ones are its appearance."

"It refers to... dawn."

"At dawn, the moment when the sun rises to break the darkness, the red light will disperse the darkness, and in ancient times, before Fuxi created a complete calendar, the ancients often observed the big Mars at dawn, that is, Antares of Canglong Qisu .”

"Understood, seeing the big Mars at the same time and at the same location, time has completed a cycle."

"That's—the year."

"We often say that the Suihuang opened the sky. In fact, Suiren's achievements are not only in the invention of fire, but also in the creation of the first calendar based on the Great Mars. From then on, we have the concept of the year."

"This is different from the more ancient times, which simply relied on the Polaris and the Big Dipper to determine the orientation and the four seasons."

"Without the concept of year, there is no concept of time, everything is just repeating."

"So, Suirenshi has the ability to open the sky."

"Tianxuan, refers to Liming."

"If you look at the character 'Xuan' in the bone inscriptions of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, you will know its shape. It is a person and two circles. It is the ancient times when people looked at the stars beyond the sun at dawn."

"After talking about Tianxuan, let's talk about Dihuang."

"What does the yellow character look like in the bone inscriptions of the Yin and Shang Dynasties? It is a person in the center of the circle. In simple terms, it can be understood as a person farming. In a big way, it means that a person is in the center of heaven and earth. yellow."

"The sky and the earth are yellow."

"In just four words, it talks about the evolution of heaven and earth from innate to acquired, and the origin of civilization. Our ancient ancestors started with the concept of time from astronomical observation and learned to plant. We are the ancestors of heaven and earth. Master."

"There is no 'person' in these four words, but there are people everywhere."

"It's the way of heaven, it's the way of authenticity, and it's the way of humanity."

"Heaven, Earth and Man, Trinity."

"This is the mysterious yellow of heaven and earth."

The old heavenly master told Zhang Zhixiang that there are five elements in the four seasons, and now Mr. Yangming told Zhang Zhixiang that there are three talents in the world. After understanding history and civilization, Zhang Zhixiang gradually had a clear concept of yin and yang and five elements.

However, it's not over yet.

Thousand-Character Essay is a famous article summarizing Chinese civilization, the heaven and earth are mysterious, the universe is prehistoric, the essence of these eight characters, and the other half are equally shocking.
