After Laozi, Zhuangzi, Fan Li, and Zhang Liang, Mr. Zhang continued to list the names of people one by one, mostly in the order of dynasties from front to back until the end, when he listed the librarian in modern times.
This is also the last name listed by Mr. Zhang.
Start with the librarian and end with the librarian.
During this period, every time a name was mentioned, Mr. Zhang basically said the same thing: "What do you think of this person?"
What can Xu Guangling think?
Is Zang a sage? In fact, there is a lot to say. Xu Guangling basically knows a little about these people, their life stories, their posthumous comments, etc., but he generally does not do this kind of commenting on extraordinary people.
, there is only one reason.——From what standpoint do you comment?
So at this time, he probably just said one or two simple sentences.
But it was not perfunctory. Xu Guangling thought carefully before saying it, and he did summarize it in one or two sentences seriously. Although it did not involve praise or criticism, from the perspective of summary, it should be considered qualified.
Mr. Zhang's response was to nod his head and continue to ask.
One after another.
It wasn't until finally, after he had listed all the names to be listed and listened to Xu Guangling's answer, that he said again: "I'd like to say, have you ever heard of couplets?"
"New Year's celebration, the festival is called Changchun?" Xu Guangling said.
Mr. Zhang smiled, and Mr. Chen also smiled, because this is the legendary first couplet in history, and it can be regarded as the "original monster" of couplets.
Of course, strictly speaking, this is just a type of couplet, "Spring Couplet". After Meng Chang of the Later Shu Dynasty inscribed this couplet, many forms of text in this format were used in history, such as "Couplets of Poems, Songs and Songs"
, poems, poems (words), tunes, and couplets are considered the four major figures in ancient rhythmic writing.
In the movie "Tang Bohu Points to Autumn Fragrance", this is what Tang Bohu plays with "Die Chuanchang".
"As long as you have heard of it." Mr. Zhang said with a smile, "Then I will also publish a couplet today. If you are interested, you might as well try to read it. Of course, you don't have to read it today, you can do it anytime in the future."
After a pause, Mr. Zhang slowly recited: "It's either cultivation or Taoism. There are many sages like this in ancient times."
Yang, health-preserving family, Taoism, Taoism, when hearing this couplet written by Mr. Zhang, what Xu Guangling felt vaguely when he listed them one by one before was suddenly pierced by this sentence, and for a while
, it actually gave him a feeling of shock or enlightenment. In short, he was energized, or in other words, inspired.
This couplet is very simple in terms of format.
If he really wanted to be right, Xu Guangling would be able to come up with ten or eight answers casually, and at this time, it would take no more than five minutes! But now that he understands Mr. Zhang’s intentions, he naturally cannot make random answers. It can be said that Mr. Zhang
The questions my husband asked before were just "What kind of person do you think this person is?" They were not real inquiries or tests.
The real questions and test papers are here!
If he doesn't answer this question well, and if he still answers casually and generally as before, it will really lower his impression score!
Fortunately, Mr. Zhang left some time for him.
This is basically an open-book exam, and it is not timed. As a former good student, Xu Guangling is still confident that he can answer it well.
Xu Guangling did not intend to show off his talent and reveal this couplet later or before leaving. In that case, Mr. Zhang would probably be disappointed instead of pleased. Sometimes, the answer is not important.
In other words, the key is not the answer.
It's about the process of pursuing the answer, and the gains in the process.
In Xu Guangling's opinion, this is generally the case. Of course, this is only Xu Guangling's own opinion. I don't know whether Mr. Zhang meant this.
At this time, Xu Guangling just nodded and said: "It is either cultivation or Taoism. There have been so many sages since ancient times. Mr. Zhang, I have written it down. When I go back, I will look up the information first and then think about how to deal with this couplet. Please give me some advice.
I'll have some time."
"No hurry, ten days is not too early, October is not too late, even ten years is not too late." Mr. Zhang laughed and extended the opening time almost infinitely, "Okay, this is an appetizer.
Casual topic, let’s talk about something more formal.”
Appetizer?
Casual topic?
Xu Guangling just wanted to say that just this appetizer made him feel as if he had just feasted.
Mr. Zhang’s questions or ideas directly gave him a new perspective, allowing him to observe history and the famous figures throughout the ages from this direction. Again, the answer is not important, even Mr. Zhang’s summary is correct
Whether it is or not is not important.
What's important is this clue.
If you mention it and shake it, you should be able to shake out some things hidden under the long river of history, but those things cannot be seen in words or historical records.
Each character is like a line. If these lines intersect, the "intersection point" can be found. They are located at different times, and written records that are not comprehensive and difficult to distinguish true from false are all obstacles, but
The idea provided by Mr. Zhang is an auxiliary line.
One auxiliary line may not be enough, but the auxiliary line itself is also a kind of idea. - If you have one, you can have a second, a third...
Xu Guangling didn't know how to express his gratitude to Mr. Zhang, but all he could do at this time was listen respectfully.
If the previous one is really just an "appetizer", what will Zhang Lao's "main course" be like?
"I beg your pardon, have you ever heard of the book 'Nei Jing'?" Mr. Zhang asked at this time.
"Huangdi Neijing?" Xu Guangling said.
Mr. Zhang nodded.
"I've heard of it and read some comprehensive introductions about the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic, but I haven't read this book." Xu Guangling said a little embarrassed. In the past, he had it in several libraries.
I saw this book, but because I knew it was a medical classic, I never had the intention to read it.
Mr. Zhang smiled, stood up, took out a book from the bookshelf, then came back and handed it to Xu Guangling, "I'd like to say, here, you read the first section, the key point is the short paragraph I marked."
Xu Guangling stood up, stretched out his hands to take it, looked down, and found that it was the "Huangdi Neijing". When he opened the first section of what Mr. Zhang said, he saw the section underlined with a pencil -
Qi Bo said:
When a woman is seven years old, her kidney qi is strong, and her teeth will grow longer; on the 27th day of the month, the Ren meridian will be clear, and the Taichong meridian will be strong, and her menstrual period will be weak, so she will have children; on the 37th day, the kidney qi will be average, so her real teeth will grow and grow longer.
Extreme; 47, the muscles and bones are strong, the hair is extremely long, and the body is strong; 57, the Yangming pulse is weak, the face becomes scorched, and the hair begins to fall; 67, the three yang pulses are weak in the upper part, the face is all scorched, and the hair begins to turn white;
Seventy-seven: Ren pulse is weak, Taichong pulse is weak, Tiangui is exhausted, and the tunnel is blocked, so the shape is bad and there are no children.
When the husband is eight years old, the kidney qi is strong, and the hair and teeth are longer; at the 28th, the kidney qi is strong, and Tian Guizhi, the essence and qi are overflowing, and the yin and yang are harmonious, so you can have children; at the 38th, the kidney qi is average, and the muscles and bones are strong, so the teeth are real.
Born with long poles; 48, the muscles and bones are swollen, the muscles are full and strong; 58, the kidney qi is weak, and the teeth are haggard; 68, the yang qi is exhausted, the face is burnt, and the hair is white; 78, the liver qi is weak,
The muscles cannot move, the Tiangui is exhausted, the essence is less, the kidneys are weak, and the body is in a state of extreme condition; eighty-eight, the teeth are gone.
The kidneys govern water, receiving and storing the essence of the five treasures and six houses. Therefore, if the five treasures are strong, they can be purged. Now all the five treasures have declined, the muscles and bones have collapsed, and the heaven and earth have been exhausted. Therefore, the hair on the temples is white, the body is heavy, and the walking is not correct.
, but without ears.
