Chapter 79 Forget Me
‘The cold waves rise and the white birds fall slowly’, the two Confucian scholars can only think that these two lines of poetry are good, but they can’t tell where they are better than ‘I can’t bear the cold spring in the sound of the cuckoos, the setting sun in the evening’, but I can’t tell why.
This is because the two have not reached this level yet.
However, He Zhixing and Xu Qingchang knew that Li Zhichang's two lines of poetry are not only simple and natural, but also a kind of awakening.
They have heard of this truth in the past, but they are not as intuitive as they are today.
Because Li Zhi often uses branches as vitality and the earth as paper, and uses the convenience of heaven and earth to flow naturally.
Put that artistic conception into their hearts in this clever way.
It can be said that Li Zhichang's interpretation is not only as simple as Xu Qingchang's writing, but also a wake-up call and the roar of the Zen lion.
All kinds of wonderful enlightenment have come to an end. The baptism of the two people in the lightning and fire is by no means a simple verbal description.
It’s like listening to your words, which is better than reading for ten years. Li Zhichang’s interpretation has brought about qualitative changes in their accumulation.
Actually, this is not to say that Li Zhichang is so powerful that being able to do it simply is better than the knowledge accumulated by the two of them for decades of hard study.
It is because of their deep accumulation that they can achieve wonderful enlightenment through Li Zhichang's enlightenment.
Just like chemical experiments, with core materials, they can then react to produce useful substances. However, if a catalyst is added, this process can be greatly shortened and the reaction speed will increase by thousands of times.
What exactly the two of them have realized has to start with this poem.
"It can be a place where the spring is closed, and the setting sun is in the sound of a cuckoo. It is called "describing the scenery, but it is actually dyed with Xu Qingchang's own emotions and colors. It can be said that it is "I". When I observe things with my own words, I can express my meaning.
Those who can always do this can be regarded as a talented man and can be said to be outstanding.
But he is not a true hero or a true master.
‘The cold waves rise and the white birds fall slowly’. It seems extremely natural, without any thick ink and heavy colors, and there is no place in the words and sentences. But things and me are integrated. This can be said to be a state of "no self". When you look at things from things, you don’t know what is me and what is things.
This is the state of forgetting both selflessness and extremely brilliant.
The state of "having self" and the state of "no self" are naturally different.
"With me" you cannot forget yourself, and what one person sees is limited.
But "no self" observes things from things, everywhere and everywhere.
Be able to correctly view the natural principles between heaven and earth from various angles. Going further, you can understand the changes in heaven and earth, the movement of the universe, form a world, and have an indelible truth.
It can be said that if you can write "I have me". Although it is a talent, it is limited to one side. If you can write "I have no self", you can be called a hero and a world-famous person.
Whether this "cold waves rise and the white birds fall down" was done by Li Zhichang, it was not important at all. What was important was that Li Zhichang saw through the limitations of Xu Qingchang's realm, and his mind and demeanor were naturally above Xu Qingchang.
The so-called third-rate characters compare strength, second-rate characters compare wisdom, and only outstanding characters can have a broad mind and demeanor and go where others cannot.
"The Qi lineage believes that all things in the world are composed of qi, and matter and void are just different forms of qi. Only by understanding qi can one master the way of heaven and human beings. Li Zhichang just used the "cold waves rise and white birds fall" to describe a world and a mountain and river. In the final analysis, he will not escape from the Taoist state of selflessness, nor will he be separated from the feelings beyond the object, and all this is based on the evolution of qi.
The artistic conception of the calligraphy is vast and unpredictable, which shows Li Zhichang's strength."
He Zhixing looked at Li Zhichang and couldn't help but feel more cautious.
Xu Qing grew up and bowed her hands and said, "The past ten years have become like a dream, and it is not until today that I have realized it all. All of this is thanks to Brother Li."
Li Zhichang received a gift from the other party, but did not avoid it. He could bear it and did not accept it. Instead, he disrespected Xu Qingchang.
He just replied indifferently: "With Brother Xu's talent and knowledge, he will also be able to understand this in the future. Moreover, if it weren't for Brother Xu and Brother He, others might not be able to understand anything. In the end, the Tao can be passed on, but whether you can achieve something depends on your own mind and nature."
"After that being said, if there were no Brother Li, I wouldn't know how many more detours you would take and how much more time you would waste." Xu Qingchang couldn't help but sigh.
He Zhixing smiled and said, "This matter should be passed down to future generations. If you can participate in it today, I have to say that it is not the place to talk outside. Please follow me in the light of Brother Xu and Brother Li."
Following He Zhixing's two Confucian scholars, they watched their attitude towards Li Zhichang change drastically, and to sum up, although they don't know why, they think it's so amazing.
I naturally became much more respectful to Li Zhichang's attitude.
After all, Fengshan Academy is not a place that everyone can come to. The Confucian scholars inside may not be all well-informed in the world, but they will never be fools.
Even though they had despised Xu Qingchang before, they would not make any slap or ridicule in person.
The group of people entered the academy in a short while.
Both Xiaowu and Xiang'er have entered the Confucian Academy for the first time and are very curious.
Xiao Wu only learned to connect the vital energy of heaven and earth. His five senses were keen and he felt the difference here. The vital energy here seemed to be very rich. He tried to activate the mental method, but the vital energy only walked around the body and was not retained for a moment.
He was secretly surprised, but saw He Zhixing smile at him, which made him confused.
It turns out that this Confucian academy was built in a barren land.
The mountain is not high, but there are immortals and spirits.
Although this Confucian academy is rich in heaven and earth, it is because of people.
It was a wise scholar who taught day and night, understood the world, and the laws naturally evolved. Later, more and more scholars came to study, and subtly influenced the surrounding environment and formed such a unique place.
Although this vital energy is strong, it follows its main body and is filled with the principles of the school of qi learning.
Xiao Wu is different from writing and writing. He has no principles of qi learning in his mind, so he cannot echo the vitality of heaven and earth. In this practice, he can only be useless.
Therefore, although this kind of large academies is located in a very good place, there are no practitioners, because it is impossible to practice here.
If one day everyone enlightens the wisdom of the people and has the principle of self-persistence, the more difficult it will be tolerated by ghosts and gods when their literary thoughts gather together.
All immortals, demons, Bodhisattvas, monsters, snakes and gods will lose their magical powers because the vitality between heaven and earth is filled with legal principles and literary thoughts, and cannot be controlled, and they will lose their magical powers and changes.
That was the time when humanity was at its peak, and it could also be called the Dharma-Ending World.
The way of heaven and humans was prosperous and declining. In ancient times, the way of heaven was prosperous, so the way of humans was arduous. Later, the philosophers of the Middle Ages flourished, and the decline of ancient Qi training men formed the current situation of the way of heaven and humans standing side by side.
