Chapter 2123 Flower Struggle (31)

Someone asked Wang Yangming: Zhu Zi believed that the "Book of Changes" focused on divination, while Mr. Cheng Shuo believed that the "Book of Changes" focused on clarifying principles. How do you understand this?

Wang Yangming said: Divination is also heavenly principle, and heavenly principle is also divination. Is there any principle in the world that is greater than divination? It’s just that people in later generations understood divination specifically as divination, so they regarded divination as a trivial skill. But they don’t know the questions and answers among friends today.

, erudition, interrogation, careful thinking, discernment, diligent practice, etc. are all divination.

The Book of Changes is about asking Heaven for advice. People have questions and lack of confidence, so they use the Book of Changes to ask Heaven for advice. People may still be biased, but God does not tolerate any falsehoods.

Precognition is not a superpower that belongs to humans. It is unstable and has no operability. The reason why humans particularly like divination is that they are full of fear and uncertainty about the future, and hope to find effective ways to deal with the unknown future.

Liu Bowen, the master of the Ming Dynasty, had similar divination results every time. He told Zhu Yuanzhang to be diligent and love the people. For Zhu Yuanzhang, why did he need divination?

If it were Georgiana herself, she would no longer dare to casually advise Bonaparte to make any decision. People are often blinded by intelligence and selfish desires, which leads to mistakes. She loves peace and racked her brains to come up with a solution in Belgium.

She thought that doing beer business would be good for everyone.

Fourteen years later, in 1816, if there was another natural disaster as Cassandra said, and there was an extreme shortage of food, the grains that should have been stored to ensure food security were used to make wine and drank.

, and what should we do if someone does something irrational when drunk?

Prohibition is ineffective. This has been tried "before" and not only did it not solve the problem, it also increased the crime rate in the United States during the Great Depression.

After going in a big circle, we finally returned to the starting point. Maybe the original "history" is the best.

People can make mistakes, because it is difficult for the human heart to remain completely impartial due to kindness and preference. Heaven cannot make mistakes, because heaven and earth are not kind, and all things are equal before it.

"Keep reading," Bonaparte reminded her.

She couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Being an ineffective fortune teller could lead to being considered a liar, living in a state of flux like Sybil, until Albus decided to take her in.

Being an effective diviner may lead to tragedy. If Sybil had not told the prophecy in the Hog's Head Bar and was heard by Severus and told Voldemort, Harry would not have become an orphan, nor would Bella.

In order to know the whereabouts of Voldemort, the Longbottoms were tortured.

In fact, what people want is just a bright future, and they should take every step towards that hope. They don't want to hear depressing words that the future is bleak. If the future is bleak, they will find ways to change their fortunes, "fortune tellers"

"It's time to collect money.

Otherwise, like Grindelwald, the future is bleak, but wizards can prevent them from destroying the world through war with Muggles, and sooner or later, Muggles will aim their weapons at wizards.

Those who kill will always be killed.

Whoever sheds blood, his blood will be shed by others.

Those who commit crimes will be killed, but saving others will be in vain. This is fate.

The Buddha saves those who are destined to be, and Master Padmasambhava said that untainted awareness intuitively provides great liberation. Is this how the name "Awakening" comes from?

If ordinary people miss the opportunity to understand their own nature, they will reincarnate and suffer in the six realms and three realms.

How can one's own nature be inherently pure? "Bodhi has no tree, and a bright mirror is not a stand."

The eminent monk Huineng promoted "seeing one's nature and becoming a Buddha", which was popularized in Lingnan in the Tang Dynasty, which was also Guangdong in later generations.

In Mencius's teachings, in addition to "not being impatient", there is also "being intolerant". Mencius once made a metaphor: a child fell into a well and cried out. At that moment, how would the people beside the well feel?

? Compassion? Or fear?

No matter what kind of heart he has, nothing is as good as the mother's heart that wants to save him when she hears her cry. From this, he proves that human nature is inherently good.

Nick heard "Flower Hall" exclaim and ran over. When he opened the door, he found a snake in the room.

It was a venomous snake with a triangular head and silver-white ring patterns. It was a type of cobra and was extremely venomous. The women in the room were hiding in the corner, and the venomous snake was crawling towards them.

Nick picked up a stool and tried to use the legs of the stool to press the snake's head, but the snake was very alert and pointed its head at him.

Soon, other soldiers arrived, but they did not dare to approach rashly because too many people would cause chaos.

Just when Nick saw the opportunity and was about to hit the snake with a stool, a flying knife was nailed to the snake's head.

Everyone looked at the man throwing darts. It turned out to be a juggler. He smiled at everyone, wrapped his braid around his neck, then turned and left.

Only then did someone pick up the venomous snake with tools. The ladies who were afraid to breathe just now patted their chests. Fortunately, no one fainted like the European ladies.

Many people expressed their gratitude to Nick, but the person who really deserved to be thanked was the person who threw the knife just now.

People left the room one after another, with Wan Ning walking at the end. This may be the first time she saw a snake after regaining her sight, and she seemed surprised and at a loss.

Nick decided to escort her to her relatives, but the admiral was busy, so they could only wait under the porch outside the lobby.

The troupe resumed its performance after a brief interruption.

"The bride is just a shadow and an echo at home." Wan Ning said in Mandarin, "As long as my father is satisfied with me at home, I will live peacefully and no one will blame me. Once I get married, the shackles will be

It has become even heavier. Not only can my husband control me, but my mother-in-law also wants me to be obedient to her. As long as she is alive, I have no right to control any property in the family, that is, I cannot give anything to others. If I receive a

I have to give it to my mother-in-law as a gift. If my mother-in-law doesn't want it, I have to express my gratitude to her, as if she gave it to me. Even if I order servants, I have to take her feelings into consideration. As for my sister-in-law, if I get it, I

I also have to be submissive to her, so I'm very happy that I don't have to participate in the draft. If I can't give birth to a child, or if I only have a girl, my husband can take a concubine, but I can't say anything, and I even have to show generosity and take the initiative to accept it.

she."

Nick wanted to tell her that echo in Europe represented love, but now Wanning might not be like him and suddenly speak Chinese.

Because she may have thought that Nick couldn't understand Chinese, that's why she said such "rebellious" words. Emperor Shunzhi stipulated that all Manchu Eight Banner girls between the ages of thirteen and sixteen must participate in the draft. Wanning is already seventeen years old.

Now that you are old enough for the draft, you don’t have to worry about becoming the emperor’s concubine, or being “gifted” to the descendants of the royal family as a blessing.

She was raised as a young lady, but after she got married, she had to be a servant, even worse than a servant, because some of the servants had been with the old lady for many years, and the old lady trusted the servants more than the bride.

Nick listened quietly to her complaint. The door of the wedding room was decorated with colorful flags and bunches of flowers. Joyful drums sounded all around, and the brothers and sisters responded with laughter. Others looked at the celebration, good-looking, and lively, but Wan Ning saw the pain.

with various restrictions.

The bride, wearing pearls and pearls and a glittering embroidered wedding dress, looked like a puppet, and that outfit was her father's last effort to express his father's love.

"If you want to be with the same person, we'll stay together forever. I heard that you Yi people are monogamous. Is this true?"

Nick looked into the lady's eyes and didn't know how to answer.

He had no choice but to remain silent.
