Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 47

Qin Zhiyong finished the dishes, put them in a food box, and handed them to Wu Chilin: "It's time for lunch soon, and it's a good time to deliver food to Master Ye at this time."

Wu Chilin took the food box and said with a smile: "Of course. I've got the timing right. If you want to learn Wing Chun, how can you not stop thinking about it?"

Qin Zhiyong thought to himself, I'm afraid your thoughts will be in vain.

Ip Man now lives in a wealthy life and has a happy family, so he has no idea of ​​teaching his apprentices.

During the period of the Republic of China, thinking was still very conservative, and it was not easy for Master to impart some real skills.

Wu Chilin said: "Okay. I'll go ask my brother's house now."

Qin Zhiyong said: "Boss, wait a moment. I'll go with you."

Wu Chi Lin was taken aback, and asked, "Do you want to learn boxing too?"

Qin Zhiyong shook his head and said, "I'm not going to learn boxing. I'm going to read books. There are many books in Master Ye's study, and I want to read them."

When he first arrived in Foshan, Qin Zhiyong visited Ye Wen.After all, Ye Wen is the heir of Wing Chun and the number one master in Foshan.Should pay a visit.Of course, Qin Zhiyong didn't go there in the name of exercising boxing skills.

Ye Wen saw that Qin Zhiyong was eloquent and well-informed, so he received him in the study.Qin Zhiyong saw several psychology books in Ye Wen's study, and immediately became interested.

Ip Man has studied in a private school, learned traditional culture, and at the same time received a Western-style education in Hong Kong. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has learned both Chinese and Western.However, Ip Man gave people the impression that he was the master of Wing Chun. Everyone only paid attention to his martial arts and ignored his knowledge.

Qin Zhiyong saw the "martial virtue" of a martial arts practitioner in Ye Wen.Ye Wen's martial arts was actually cultivated with Confucianism.

Wu Chilin said: "Chef Qin, it will be noon soon. There are many customers coming to the restaurant for dinner. If you leave, what will happen to the kitchen?"

Qin Zhiyong pointed to the chefs in the kitchen, and said, "As long as there are no special circumstances, they can handle it. Recently, their knife skills and cooking skills have made great progress."

For other chefs who want to learn knife skills and cooking skills, Qin Zhiyong will teach them all, and will not hide their secrets.As for how much they can learn knife skills and cooking skills, it depends on their own efforts and luck.

Qin Zhiyong will not be like other chefs. He is afraid that if he teaches his apprentice, if the master starves to death, even if he wants to teach the apprentice, he will keep his hand.For one's own benefit, for one's own job, it is understandable to do so.But the mind is inevitably narrow.

If Qin Zhiyong wants to "enter into a state of tranquility", he must cultivate a big heart and great perseverance, and he must not waste money for petty gains.Otherwise, the state of mind will never improve.

Therefore, Qin Zhiyong is not afraid of others learning his skills.

The truth of the world is easy to understand, but the vast majority of people just can't understand it.Not to mention the unity of knowledge and action.

It's like there are tens of thousands of scholars in the world, but those who can become sages and scholars are rare.

As long as you have a broad mind, the pattern will open.

As soon as the spiritual cultivation is improved, the realm achievement will naturally increase.

After the chefs learned Qin Zhiyong's skills, Qin Zhiyong would be very free and not have to stay in the kitchen every day.Unless there was something they couldn't handle, Qin Zhiyong would take action himself.

Qin Zhiyong's goal has not changed.He is for practice, not for being a chef.Work in the kitchen, just for a living.

Wu Chilin nodded and said, "That's fine. Let's go together."

Qin Zhiyong changed his clothes and left the restaurant with Wu Chilin.

………………

The two came to Ye Wen's house.

Ye Wen came to open the door himself.

Qin Zhiyong said with a smile: "Master Ye, Mr. Qin is here to disturb you again."

Ye Wen said: "Mr. Qin, Wu Chilin, please come to the room."

into the hall.

Wu Chilin put down the food box and brought out the food. Immediately, the whole room was filled with aroma.Smelling the aroma of food, everyone in the room swallowed their saliva.

Wu Chilin said: "Brother Wen, the food in my restaurant is not bad. Today I asked the chef to make a few small dishes for you. I hope Brother Wen will like it."

Ye Wen said: "Wu Chi Lin, you are too polite. There is no need for this."

Wu Chi Lin's mind, of course Ye Wen knew that he wanted to learn Wing Chun.It's just that his wife Zhang Yongcheng doesn't like Ye Wen's boxing, and Ye Wen himself has no plans to teach his apprentices.Wu Zhilin wanted to learn Wing Chun, but Ye Wen felt that it was a bit difficult for him.

Wu Chi Lin laughed: "Brother Wen, there's no need to be so extravagant about our relationship. It's just a few side dishes. It should be, it should be."

Ye Wen's son Ye Zhun stood by the table and said, "Dad, can we eat now?"

The food was already on the table, it would be a bit unreasonable for Wu Chilin to bring the food back.

Ye Wen said: "Mr. Qin, Wu Chilin, let's sit down and eat together."

Wu Chilin said: "No need. Brother, I still have things to do in the restaurant, so I'll go back first."

After speaking, Wu Chilin walked out of the gate.From the beginning to the end, he never mentioned the matter of learning boxing.

Qin Zhiyong said with a smile: "Master Ye, you eat first. When the food is cold, the taste will not be so good. I will go to the study to read for a while."

Ye Wen nodded and said, "Okay."

………………

Ye Wen, Zhang Yongcheng, and Ye Zhun, a family of three having lunch.

Ye Wen said: "Wu Chilin is a bit of a kid. His father handed over the restaurant to him, but he didn't expect him to find a chef with superb cooking skills. But, I don't know who this chef is? "

Zhang Yongcheng looked at Ye Wen in surprise, and said, "You don't know who Chef Qin is?"

Ye Wen smiled bitterly and said, "Yongcheng, you also know that I don't like to inquire about these things. I don't know Chef Qin, how would I know who he is?"

Zhang Yongcheng said: "Why don't you know each other? You chatted with Qin Zhiyong a few times, didn't you have a good chat?"

Ye Wen was surprised and said: "Mr. Qin, is it Chef Qin? I really didn't think of it. It's just that Mr. Qin has a refined temperament, profound knowledge, extraordinary conversation, and there is no smell of oily smoke on his body. He doesn't look like a cook."

People can't be seen.

Ye Wen has never asked Qin Zhiyong what kind of work he does. If his wife Zhang Yongcheng hadn't mentioned it now, he really didn't know that Qin Zhiyong was working in Wu Chi Lin's restaurant.

Qin Zhiyong and Wu Chilin came to the house together.Ye Wen just thought that the two happened to meet together on the road.

Ye Wen looked at the study and said, "Mr. Qin's cooking skills are not simple."

Zhang Yongcheng picked up a chopstick dish for Ye Zhun, and said, "Qin Zhiyong is not like Wu Chi Lin and the others. He came to our house to read books, and he didn't ask you to teach him boxing."

Qin Zhiyong is knowledgeable and polite to others.Show the style of a gentleman.Unlike those martial artists who only know how to practice boxing and martial arts, they are very vulgar.

Zhang Yongcheng was born in a scholarly family with a quiet temperament. She liked Qin Zhiyong more.

Ye Wen smiled wryly, and said, "Mr. Qin is a man of great learning. He is not interested in martial arts."

At this time, the butler came over and said respectfully to Ye Wen: "Young Master, Master Liao from the Liao Family Boxing Gym is here to visit."

Zhang Yongcheng frowned.

Another martial arts practitioner came to the house.

Ye Wen sighed and said, "Let Master Liao in."

………………

in the study.

Qin Zhiyong took a copy of "Psychology" and read it with great interest.

Psychology, ordinary people think it is very mysterious, but it is not.

People's consciousness and behavior are determined by their psychological state.It can be said that all human behaviors are the embodiment of psychological activities.

Psychology, not mysterious, but broad and profound.

Careful research can even point directly to the essence of consciousness and soul.

Confucianism's righteousness and sincerity, and the method of cultivating the mind are relatively general. If you want to practice, you must practice and explore slowly.

Psychology, on the other hand, analyzes people's various psychology and behaviors in a more profound way.

Taking himself as an example, Qin Zhiyong slowly analyzed his mental state, thought about his behavior, and confirmed each other with psychology and Confucian methods of self-cultivation.Gained a lot of experience.

After studying psychology, Qin Zhiyong's psychological quality has improved a lot.It is one step closer to the realm of Confucian "fixation".

Qin Zhiyong realized a very important mind-cultivation skill.

Psychological suggestion!

Psychological suggestion is also called spiritual suggestion, or self-hypnosis.

This technique is of great help in improving the spiritual realm and stimulating the potential of the body.

Qin Zhiyong was silent in the knowledge of books.

suddenly.

The sound of fists and feet colliding came from outside, and Qin Zhiyong's thoughts were interrupted.

Qin Zhiyong frowned slightly.

Getting into a state of concentration is not an easy task.

Even with Qin Zhiyong's state of mind, it is impossible to enter a state of concentration anytime, anywhere.

Even if you are fully concentrated, once you are disturbed, your thoughts will exit this state, and it will be very difficult to enter again.You need to adjust your emotions and mind to gradually achieve concentration.

If you can't read in a state of concentration, the effect of learning will be ten times weaker.

Qin Zhiyong sighed and put the book back on the shelf.

As soon as Ye Wen and Master Liao finished their martial arts competition, Qin Zhiyong walked out of the study.

at this time.

Ye Zhun passed by Qin Zhiyong's side and knocked the flowerpot off the wooden shelf.If hit by a flower pot, Ye Zhun would definitely be injured.

"Be careful."

Qin Zhiyong resorted to "holding the bird's tail" in Taijiquan, and the flowerpot weighing more than 30 kilograms was as light as nothing in Qin Zhiyong's hands.With a little force, he pushed the flower pot back, and it fell steadily onto the wooden stand without making a sound.

This trick of "grabbing the sparrow's tail" is too subtle.Soft, light and flowing.The control of power is simply meticulous.

Ye Wen is a master of Wing Chun boxing, with extraordinary eyesight, he can see Qin Zhiyong's extraordinary skills at a glance, and his martial arts cultivation is at least at the master level.

"It's good to recruit the bird's tail." Ye Wen clasped his fists at Qin Zhiyong, "Mr. Qin, I didn't expect you to be a Tai Chi master."

Qin Zhiyong smiled wryly. He just subconsciously used Tai Chi moves, exposing his martial arts.

Qin Zhiyong said: "Master Ye, I'm so proud of you. A few tricks are not brilliant."
