Chapter 337
"Men, these silk books written by my ancestor Confucius are all his research experience on the "Book of Changes". The report he wrote himself is called "Xi Zhuan". Li Yangbing explained blindly and made up his own mind, the changes have changed beyond recognition, it has lost its flavor, and I don't bother to come forward to correct it, let's just know the real thing!"

Kong Lingjue explained to Dai Wu that after Dai Wu finished worshiping, he also bowed himself, knelt three times and kowtowed nine times.

This is to divination, to inquire about Confucius' meaning, whether to let Dai Wu read this silk script.

If it's the front, it's agreed, if it's the back, then I'm sorry, it's useless for a saint to come in person, no matter how "sage" you are, you are no bigger than Confucius, even if Dai Wu has a kindness for Kong Lingjue, but the rules can't be broken, especially Confucianism , pay special attention to this, rules are bigger than people, and etiquette cannot be broken.

The Taixuan Taoist said that Dai Wufu had boundless rewards, and he was really not bragging, even Confucius liked him.

Kong Lingjue held the bamboo stick in his hand and was about to throw it into the sky, but a supernatural feeling appeared. The bamboo stick floated out of his hand before he could throw it into the sky. Supernatural powers, just floating in the air.

Then it fell to the ground with a "pop", it was just a very ordinary bamboo stick, but it made a loud noise, as if the ground shook.

What's more, when the bamboo stick hits the ground, it doesn't bounce, it just faces up, completely ignoring the laws of physics. Generally, when a very light object falls on the ground, he always has to bounce it up twice before the force disappears.

And this stick, just stuck to the ground, motionless, face up!

When Dai Wu saw this scene, he immediately felt respect in his heart, knowing that Confucius had manifested his holiness, he bent down and bowed, and said silently: "Thank you, Confucius, for your support!"

Just after he finished chanting this sentence silently, Confucius seemed to be holding the glass box in his hand, without wind and no one controlled it, it just floated up by itself and flew towards Dai Wu.

But Dai Wu kept the posture of bending over, spread his hands forward, and made a gesture of holding things. He saw the glass box fall into his hands, and Kong Ling felt a little dazed when he saw it. Dai Wu.

The disciples of Confucius have never seen such a miraculous scene after reading this silk script for thousands of years. Dai Wu, his benefactor, really has a lot of face!

Dai Wu bowed again to thank him, and then he and Kong Lingjue left the ancestral hall.

When he came to the study, Dai Wu washed his hands first. Although his hands were extremely clean, it was a rule that one must wash his hands before reading a book. Books are the embodiment of a person's self-cultivation.

Then he calmed down, collected his mind, and waited until Kong Lingjue gave him the study room and closed the door to go out. Then Dai Wu opened the glass box and took out the biography written by Kong Sheng himself.

Confucius did not start studying the Book of Changes until he was 50 years old, because he had already mastered philosophy thoroughly, and he also started to engage in theology and the study of the Book of Changes.

He studies the Book of Changes and plays hexagrams, which is different from ordinary people. When we ordinary people learn this thing, we can only pick out words and study hard. Because you really don’t understand, you can only look up and learn word by word. If you can understand the literal meaning and read through the book, you are considered very good.

As for how Confucius played, people call it "playing and getting something", that is, to explore this thing, find a hexagram, get a bunch of sticks, and then engrave the Qian hexagrams, Kun hexagrams, etc. from the Book of Changes on it , over and over again, the same reason.

Now Dai Wu’s biography is in the form of bamboo slips. Confucius didn’t have printing and paper at that time, so they used bamboo slips.

Their characters are engraved on the bamboo slices. The bamboo slices are cut into the same size, then the outer green skin is peeled off, and the characters are engraved on them. Finally, the bamboo slices are dried, so that the characters remain on them. It's good to save.

When drying, the water contained in the bamboo slices will drip out. This water is the "history" in Wen Tianxiang's famous masterpiece "No one has died since ancient times.

This word means history, and Wen Tianxiang’s keeping his loyal heart reflects the history, which means that I leave my loyalty in history, illuminate the long river of history, and let future generations remember me.

And after the bamboo strips are dried, they need to make holes, tie them up with tendons, and finally study the bamboo slips over and over. It is an idiom "Wei Bian Sanjue", this idiom comes from Confucius, and it is a metaphor for studying hard.

Dai Wu held the silk book in his hand, the bamboo pieces were a bit rotten, the handwriting on them was blurred, and the tendons connecting the bamboo pieces were almost rotten, it was really not easy for this thing to remain immortal for 2000 years.

Looking at the characters carved by Kong Sheng himself, the characters at that time were "big seal characters", very similar to oracle bone inscriptions, with vigorous strokes and penetrating three points.

If it was given to ordinary people, they would definitely not be able to understand these scripts, but Dai Wu, an extraordinary person, really does not know these characters, or even how to read them, but he can understand the meaning just by looking at them, because there are words of Confucius in them. Wisdom, when he engraved, his own spiritual will will be integrated, expressing what he wants to express between the lines.

It’s like a book without words, there are no words, but when you look at it, oh..., I understand, suddenly realize it!
This is how Dai Wu reads the silk script. It lasts seven days without eating or drinking, without sleeping or sleeping. , luck, self-cultivation, all in all are good!
As for the entire Confucius family, within these seven days, as long as everyone in the Confucius mansion, without exception, felt that they had become smarter for no reason, their brains were so good, no matter how stupid the servants were, they could only pruning flowers and mowing grass. The honest man also feels that his brain seems to have opened up for some reason!

The biography engraved by Confucius also talks about the way of wisdom. It says that people's intelligence does not come through learning, it is not taught to you by a teacher, nor is it imagined, which is useless.

It is the door of your own wisdom that is opened, it is your own inherent wisdom that explodes, and the books you have read in the past tens of thousands of lives will be brought out, and your memory will become extraordinary. You will know all the books you have read in ten lifetimes, and they will be irrigated in your mind.

But people are all radiating outwards, the body is consuming, the spirit is thinking, and they are all exerting themselves on the outside, which is not easy to accept. Even if great wisdom comes from the void, if your mind is not calm and your breath is not calm, it will not reach you. In your mind, you are still an ordinary person, and prajna wisdom cannot be achieved.
