Chapter 081 My 'Awesome Spirit' (4 updates exceed 10,000)
To Gao Jingshi, Ah Li is undoubtedly mysterious. Not only is her understanding and use of Gu superb, she herself is also like a mystery. The mysterious red pupils, the mysterious way of thinking, and the last thing left to Gao Jingshi
That enigmatic sentence.
What Gao Jingshi is especially confused about is what she calls "the aura of awe-inspiring". If we just look at the meaning of the text, Gao Jingshi certainly knows what aura of awe-inspiring is. This word may have been first coined by Mencius. Mencius said: "I am good at raising myself."
The awe-inspiring Qi is Qi, which is the most powerful and strong. If it is nourished directly and does no harm, it will be blocked between heaven and earth. It is Qi, and it matches Yi and Tao. If it is not, it is discouraged. It is what is born from the collection of Yi, and is not
Take it out of righteousness."
According to the records in "Mencius Gongsun Chou", Mencius himself said that it was difficult for him to describe this aura of awe-inspiringness, but Mencius' meaning was relatively clear, that is, the so-called "aura of awe-inspiringness" was formed by the accumulation of morality and justice over time.
This statement is really too "metaphysical" and can almost cross into the realm of metaphysics.
But the strange thing about Gao Pragmatic is that he, Gao, is the best at talking about conspiracies and tricks, but where does his awe-inspiring aura come from?
Unless, this awe-inspiring spirit and conspiracy are not in conflict.
But this sounds really unreliable.
Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but wonder whether this girl Ali had some misunderstanding about the "aura of awe-inspiring"? However, her voodoo skills were not innate. That "scorpion and ghost voodoo" could use the "aura of awe-inspiring" to distinguish between good and evil in people.
It should be a statement that has been passed down for thousands of years. If this is wrong, it should have been discovered long ago.
Gao Pingshi was full of questions. He stood on the edge of Luoyuzhai and looked at the nearby Yao people terraced fields, frowning deeply.
He really hadn't thought about this almost philosophical question for a long, long time, and he was a little dazed for a while.
"Mr. Zhang Buxu, are you thinking about Sister Ali?" Huang Zhiting came behind Gao Pragmatic at some point and asked with a strange expression.
"I was wondering what the 'awe-inspiring spirit' she was talking about was." Gao pragmatically answered directly and openly.
This answer seemed to be somewhat beyond Huang Zhiting's expectations. She was slightly startled before she couldn't help laughing: "Although I haven't read it, this sentence should be from a Han classic, right? You are a scholar, but you don't know
do you know?"
"This is what Mencius said. I naturally know it, but what Mencius said is too mysterious." Gao Pingshi shook his head and said: "Later, Su Shi - Su Dongpo, you know, right? He also explained this 'awe-inspiring spirit'.
"
Huang Zhiting's eyes lit up: "Of course I know Su Dongpo, his talent..." She couldn't think of how to describe it for a moment, so she said: "In short, compared with you, he is the bright moon and you are the firefly."
Gao Pragmatic laughed: "That makes sense."
Huang Zhiting didn't care whether he was sincere or fake, and asked: "What did the layman Dongpo say?"
Gao pragmatically said: "He said that I am good at cultivating my awe-inspiring spirit. I do not stand according to shape, do not rely on strength, exist without waiting for life, and do not die with death. Therefore, they are stars in the sky, rivers and mountains on the ground, and mountains and rivers in the secluded area.
Ghosts and gods, but Ming becomes human again.”
Huang Zhiting was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "What Dongpo said is certainly right, but... what does this mean?"
Gao pragmatically said: "Literally understood, Dongpo layman said that this awe-inspiring aura does not exist on tangible things, does not flow on external forces, does not exist because of living, and will not disappear because of death. The awe-inspiring aura does not exist in anything.
The sky will turn into endless stars, the earth will turn into mountains and rivers, when it is dark, it will turn into ghosts and gods, and when it is bright, it will turn into humans again.”
Huang Zhiting said depressedly: "I think this is a bit mysterious." After thinking about it, she asked again: "Then you have been pondering here for a long time, and you don't have your own opinion?"
Gao pragmatic smiled: "Well... the phrase I explained to you last time, 'Although there are thousands of people, I will go', I thought it was the aura of awe-inspiring people."
Huang Zhiting thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Is this where justice lies?"
Gao Pragmatic nodded and said thoughtfully: "My understanding is that it is a fearless spirit born for the ideal in the heart."
Huang Zhiting thought about it seriously at first, then suddenly laughed and said teasingly: "Oh, so you Master Zhang is scared to death of snakes and insect poisons, but you still have a 'fearless spirit'?"
Gao Pragmatic did not laugh, but said thoughtfully: "The 'fearlessness' possessed by Haoran Qi does not mean that it is not afraid of death at any time. Its real fear is just that it cannot achieve its ideals."
His eyes suddenly brightened, a light flashed in his eyes, and he raised his eyebrows and said: "I understand, in fact, the 'awesome spirit' is not mysterious, it is just the spirit of adhering to ideals and beliefs and working hard for them!"
"Oh...then what are your ideals and beliefs?" Huang Zhiting asked curiously: "Take the Jinshi exam and become a high official?"
Gao Pragmatic was startled, then smiled and said: "That's just a means, not a goal."
"Really?" Huang Zhiting seemed a little doubtful and asked: "What is the goal? You don't mean to say 'Establish a heart for the world, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations.'
Bullshit, right?"
Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but smile: "You all know the 'Four Sentences of Hengqu'?"
"Huh, you're looking down on people." Huang Zhiting said disdainfully: "We Confucian teachers in Siming Mansion all like to talk about these four sentences, but what's the truth? On weekdays... if you say they do no evil, that's just flattering them.
That’s all.”
Gao Pingshi laughed loudly, and after he finished laughing, he said: "Since you already said it was nonsense, why do you have the nerve to say it again?"
"Really? Is your goal more powerful than this?" Huang Zhiting blinked.
Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "It's not as high-end as Hengqu Siyu."
Huang Zhiting was disappointed and sighed: "It seems that your Confucianism means that there is no hope for you."
"That's okay, that's not my ideal anyway." Gao Pragmatic said with a slight smile.
Huang Zhiting couldn't help but become curious again: "Well, since sister Ali said that you have a great spirit, your ideals must be of some use, so let's listen to it."
Gao pragmatic looked at the seemingly endless mountains in the distance and said softly: "I just hope to find a way out for my Chinese compatriots, the Yan and Huang Miao people."
Huang Zhiting thought for a while, frowned and said: "You mean the Han people? The Han people are so good, what kind of livelihood do you want? I think you might as well think of a way to find a way for us children, Yao people, and Miao people to live." "
"Silly girl." Gao Pingshi laughed: "The Tong people, Yao people, and Miao people you mentioned are originally Chinese Miao people. I have never classified them as barbarians in my heart."
Huang Zhiting looked surprised and said doubtfully: "Really? But I don't think the Han people have ever regarded these people as the same kind. Even people like our Huang family, who were originally Han people, but because they guarded the local people for too long, were slowly regarded as Become a foreign barbarian."
Gao pragmatically said seriously: "So this is exactly what I need to work hard on."
"Although I think you are whimsical..." Huang Zhiting smiled sweetly: "But I like this sentence very much, so I believe you."
Gao Pingshi smiled and said nothing. Huang Zhiting asked again: "Then who is the barbarian in your mind?"
