Everyone who has read Zhuangzi's article knows that word, because it is right before the sentence "The breath of a true person is through the heel, and the breath of everyone is through the throat."
It can also be said that the real person's breath is based on the heel, which is basically the explanation of the previous word.
Which word?
Not wet when in water.
At that time, Xu Guangling specifically looked up the meaning of the word "桡" and found that it was "wet", or moist. This was completely different from his first understanding after seeing this sentence. What was his understanding?
It's "drown", drowning.
In other words, you will not suffocate in water.
Then he simply used the term "don't drown in water" to search, and after searching, he found that he was not the only one who understood it like this. It already existed in some other classics from the pre-Qin period!
And later, in Zhuangzi, in the Qiu Shui chapter, there is another directly corresponding saying, "Water cannot drown."
Therefore, from Zhuangzi’s original intention, we can know that entering water without getting wet means entering water without drowning.
But this requires a premise, that is, the Qiu Shui chapter must have been written by Zhuangzi. - The question is, was the Qiu Shui chapter written by Zhuangzi?
I don’t know, or I’m not sure. But current researchers generally believe that it’s not. Although this article is indeed well written, very good, especially good, and many allusions about Zhuangzi come from this article.
However, judging from some of the descriptions and terms in it, upon closer inspection, it does not look like Zhuangzi’s own handwriting.
This is quite confusing!
Just like until now, people are still unable to confirm whether Zhuge Liang wrote "The Master's Guide". Judging from a lot of evidence, it is not, or it does not look like it, but unfortunately it is well written, especially the sentence "Dedicate yourself to death, and die"
"And then it's over" is simply a portrayal of Zhuge Liang's entire life.
Nothing can more accurately sum up the rest of his life than these eight words.
If this article was not written by Zhuge himself, I am afraid that he would burst into tears after reading it, and then refer to the author of the article as his confidant.
But this is precisely the biggest pitfall, that is, it makes it impossible for future generations to distinguish true from false by "quality" or "level". Because the level of genuine products and fakes is almost the same, and sometimes the level of fakes seems to be even higher.
A little higher.—How can you tell?
Unlike Dream of Red Mansions, the subsequent forty chapters of the sequel are completely incomparable with the previous work in terms of style and quality. Therefore, once it was discovered and proposed, the academic community quickly became unanimous and unanimous in its opinions. This is a sequel, not a sequel.
original.
No external evidence is required.
The work itself is the evidence!
Thinking about such things, the thoughts in his mind only lasted for a moment. Then, Xu Guangling answered Zhang Laodao with a definite tone: "Water can't drown."
This answer is obviously wrong. If you search the Grand Master Chapter from beginning to end, you won't be able to find this sentence even if you are blind. So if it is an exam, Xu Guangling will be eliminated with zero points at this time, but it is clear that this answer is obvious.
It means that Xu Guangling fully understands what Mr. Zhang means.
Because of this, Mr. Zhang smiled, and Mr. Chen also smiled at this time.
The little boy played a little trick in front of the two old men, but it still made the two old men happy for a while. With a smile, Mr. Zhang said: "Yes, even if you enter the water, you will not drown, but this is actually not the case.
It doesn’t make much sense, no matter how hard you get into the water without drowning, you will still drown if you fall into the sea.”
This time it was Xu Guangling who laughed.
After all, he is someone who has dived before, so he must know the basic common sense in this area.
The further you go, the less oxygen the water contains. Not to mention the problem of oxygen, even the pressure is not something the human body can bear. Therefore, if there was a great master in ancient times who believed that he could "not drown in water"
Jumping into the sea gracefully...
Okay, he doesn't have to come up anymore.
"The five hearts are the heart on the top of the head, the palms of the hands, and the hearts of the two feet. Of these five hearts, the heart on the top of the head is the closest to the internal organs, and it also belongs to the 'Gyeonggi region'. Since qi, blood and metabolism are the strongest, the heart on the top of the head is the easiest to unblock.
, and based on judgment, there are many people in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, who are born with unobstructed hearts, so it is not that rare.”
"The second is the palms of both hands. Among the two palms, because the right hand is usually used more, normally speaking, the right palm is smoothed earlier than the left palm."
After hearing Mr. Zhang say this, Xu Guangling subconsciously looked at his right palm.
"Last is the soles of the feet. This is the farthest position from the internal organs, and it is also the first position that is actually abandoned by the body. Therefore, unblocking the soles of the feet is the most difficult and ranks last."
"This is the basic situation for the five hearts to be unblocked." Mr. Zhang slowly explained, "So through the sentence 'The breath of the real person is on the heel', we can basically draw the conclusion that this is a situation where the five hearts are unblocked.
A sensible person.”
"To understand one heart or to understand three hearts is not worthy of this sentence."
"If you have one mind, you can be called extraordinary. If you have three minds, you can barely be called a master. Only if you have five minds, you are the real grand master, and you are also the so-called 'real person' in ancient books."
Ancient book, not Zhuangzi's book. Maybe the word "Zhenren" was not originated by Zhuangzi?
Xu Guangling thought this way.
When Mr. Zhang said this, he paused, probably to allow time for Xu Guangling to establish the basic concepts. After a while, he continued:
"If you have one mind, you can stay underwater for about half an hour. If you have three minds, you can stay underwater for two to three to seven or eight hours. Maybe some people can stay underwater for longer, but it's just a matter of tolerance.
, the basic situation is that if the three hearts are unblocked, it is still not possible to completely breathe self-sufficiently in the water."
"As for whether a person with five minds can be self-sufficient and extend the time in the water indefinitely, there is no clear record in the ancient books."
"But even if you can achieve self-sufficiency, it is completely meaningless." Zhang Lao changed his words, "Aquatic creatures, whether they are shrimps, crabs, fish, turtles, or aquatic plants and kelp, can all do this. If humans are reduced to
It would be too sad to compare them with each other."
"The strengths of human beings are not here."
Having said this, Mr. Zhang stood up, then slowly walked towards the study with his hands behind his back.
Mr. Chen smiled and followed him. Seeing this, Xu Guangling also stood up and followed him.
When he came to the study room, Mr. Zhang freed up a hand, stretched out his fingers, and pointed to the surroundings or the four walls of the large study room. The books were densely packed from top to bottom, and then his whole body followed.
He walked around slowly for a week, and then turned to Xu Guangling and said calmly:
"My humble opinion, as you can see, I have read all the books in this study room, not a book is missing or a page is missing."
