Imagine the world

Hua Zhenxing: "Where to go is beautiful."

He only answered four words, which is also the characteristic of Taoism. He should use simple generalizations to explain what he has achieved in practice and what he has asked for in practice. Read to describe.

Different people may receive different information and have different feelings when they hear it. This is all related to their own perceptions, even ordinary people with no cultivation.

This is also a kind of supernatural power, known as shravaka wisdom or shravaka achievement.Mastering the achievements of the shravakas requires at least a seven-level cultivation, but most monks of the seven levels may not be able to master them proficiently.

If you open your mouth without hearing wisdom, it is not a discussion of the Tao, it is a debate among ordinary people in the world.Huazhen didn't expect the scene at this time and place beforehand, but it was also a kind of chance trigger, and suddenly he realized the achievement of the shravaka.

What is beauty, the most simple point of view of ordinary people, usually looks good, likes, is comfortable, and wants.

So what is good-looking, liking, comfortable, and wanting?This is not only to discuss the standards of aesthetics, but also to clarify the inner principles of the so-called aesthetic process.

In ancient times, some people believed that the beauty of things is contained in the profound mathematics, which conforms to and contains certain internal laws and rhythms, and thus is reflected in the external coordination and moving.

From ancient times to the present, some philosophers have come down in one continuous line and believe that "beauty" is an objective existence, existing in the world of ideas, or contained in the dialectical cause and effect of the absolute spirit.

Regardless of whether beauty exists objectively, even if it does exist in the concept of transcending specific things, aesthetics itself is still a subjective process, with each individual as the subject to criticize and discover the object.

Many people's concept of "beauty" tends to be in a narrow sense, which is mainly understood as artistic aesthetics, and even only focuses on visual aesthetics, such as whether a painting, a piece of clothing, or a piece of scenery is good-looking or beautiful.

This is no wonder, because most of the information received by the human brain comes from the visual senses.

But the concept of beauty goes far beyond the scope of artistic aesthetics. It is the criticism and discovery of all things in this world, as well as re-criticism and rediscovery.

People can use "beauty" to describe almost everything, such as beautiful scenery, food, beauty, good words, virtues, beautiful dreams, beautiful things... and even a beautiful world.

Beauty is good and better. As for what is good and better, that is the question that human civilization needs to answer, and it is also the self-answer that everyone needs in this world.

Is there a class in aesthetic standards?Many people are still arguing about this, but there is no need to argue at all.Wherever there is beauty, beauty is the purpose, and beauty is the pursuit itself. In a world where there are class differences, how can aesthetics have no class characteristics?
Opponents often say that a piece of landscape is beautiful, a piece of utensil is beautiful, no matter who looks at it, they will find its beauty... This is the commonality of beauty, otherwise the so-called concept and consensus of beauty will not exist.

But beauty is not only common, but also very individual in aesthetics. It is not only a judgment on natural things, but also represents everyone's taste and pursuit.Including everyone's wishes and efforts, dreams and fantasies, that's where they go.

For example, the desire of many people is to achieve class leapfrogging, which makes them easy to accept the temptation of consumerism.It is almost the internal logic of luxury marketing all over the world to create the illusion of crossing classes in the subconscious.

Is the end of science theology?of course not!Science, philosophy, including theology, all end in aesthetics, and they all have to answer the question of where to go.What is the purpose of everything we do, and where do we want to lead the world, even if it is an empty picture.

Such as the beauty of Nirvana, the beauty of unrestrained nature, the beauty of the unity of man and nature, the beauty of the great harmony of the world, and the ultimate beauty of all things!
Hua Zhenxing did not answer what is good or better, he only answered what is beauty?
Wherever we go is beauty, beauty is our pursuit itself, it is the ultimate goal of all our actions!It transcends attitudes and methods, and all attitudes and methods exist for and because of it.

People in the world often talk about "truth", "goodness" and "beauty", but these three are not in parallel, and the latter is detached from the former two.

"Truth" is the attitude and ability, "goodness" is the method and path, and "beauty" is both the goal and the direction of pursuit. The purpose of "truth" and "goodness" is "beauty".

It is indescribable, but also tangible, contained in the ideal of life, society, world, and universe, and contained in the intentional or unconscious desire.Even if the ideal is not realized, it is always there.

Hua Zhenxing was taught by three elders since he was a child, not only by words but also by example.They are all supreme masters in line with their own avenues, but their styles are different.

Uncle Mo seems to be a simple ascetic monk, but what he taught Hua Zhen is "bitterness"?of course not!
In fact, the old man did it himself, telling Hua Zhenxing that suffering itself is meaningless, only the efforts and process of overcoming and changing suffering are meaningful.

If we talk about suffering, the people in Port Fiso and most of the blocks in Jili Country have already endured enough.There is purgatory on earth, and there is no uglier place in the world.

If suffering cannot be changed, it is just endless torture and injury, which will not give people any strength or hope.Only the expectation of overcoming suffering is truly powerful, and that's what Uncle Mo did.

If there was no straw sandal gang formed by Uncle Mo, how could there be a new alliance later?

Although Uncle Mo is simple, his pursuit is not hard, but to teach people how to overcome and change hardships!Uncle Mo's example mainly taught Hua Zhenxing to be "true".

The truth of Uncle Mo is manifested in his own practice.

Uncle Mo himself pursues the beauty of simplicity, with a "true" attitude.The old man is actually living a good life and has reached the state of returning to nature. He taught Hua Zhenxing to pursue beauty through real efforts instead of praying in fantasy.

It's just that most people in this world can't reach his old man's realm at all, and they can't and can't learn it.

If Uncle Mo taught Hua Zhenxing to be "truthful", then Ke Fuzi taught Hua Zhenxing to be "good".

Goodness is the criterion needed between people. Every era has its needs, but the internal logic is interlinked.

All "order" in the world is based on the cognitive conventions of goodness, such as the public order and good customs advocated, and the legal system formulated.

The governance system of the entire New Guli Kingdom was created under the guidance of Ke Fuzi.

The two most important functions of order are firstly to ensure people's safety, and secondly to ensure social fairness. Its source is the cognition of "goodness".

The breakdown of order brings chaos and misery.For example, the former Jili State almost copied the entire legal and institutional system of the former suzerain state, but it only stayed on the surface and was never really implemented, nor did it have the power to guarantee its implementation.

This is the loss of "truth" and thus "goodness" of order, not to mention the "beauty" that people yearn for.

There is another situation, that is, the order itself is unreasonable, or in some cases it becomes unfair and no longer conforms to people's perception of goodness, so it needs to be continuously improved in order to achieve a more "beautiful" result.

As for old man Yang, what he taught Hua Zhenxing may be the most difficult thing, because he directly points to the purpose itself, which is "beauty"!
If old man Yang is willing to change into a young look, he must be a handsome man, even if he is described as a handsome old man now, but the "beauty" he taught Hua Zhenxing is not in this aspect.

The state of life and interest he shows are the pursuit itself.If someone asked that common question, what kind of person would you want to be?Old man Yang didn't need to answer, he was just showing it!
Old man Yang asked Hua Zhenxing to read recipes as comic strips since he was a child, just to train a cook?

When people are hungry, it is enjoyment to be able to eat.Farming is hard work, but people's pursuit is to have enough food and clothing. All labor is a means, and food and clothing are the goal.

What about after eating?People are definitely not satisfied with just filling their stomachs with cassava paste. They all hope to make food more delicious, more nutritious, and more enjoyable physically and mentally.

Hua Zhenxing does not regard extravagance as a beauty, but it does not prevent him from making all kinds of delicacies by himself, even if he himself has seven realms of cultivation and can already eat without food.

This process itself can become a kind of personal taste cultivation, reflecting the attitude towards everything.

Old man Yang taught Hua Zhenxing the ancient essence formula, and Hua Zhenxing used it as the technique of nourishing vitality.This is to experience the beauty of vitality and life, and it is the pursuit of the beauty of physical and mental states.

What old man Yang taught Hua Zhenxing was directed at the source and the goal itself, but it was too idealistic for ordinary people, and it was impossible to imagine but impossible to achieve.

Hua Zhenxing was most influenced by old man Yang, because he was raised by old man Yang, and realized that "beauty is wherever you go".But the world he saw was obviously so ugly, so he wanted to find a place to go.

He became an idealist, a pure lover of beauty.

Because of the existence of Uncle Mo and Master Ke, Hua Zhenxing has not become another Yang Tehong. He not only pursues his own change, but also wants to change the world he lives in, so that he can become a better existence.

Hua Zhenxing is the largest capitalist in Jili Kingdom. He has brought the monopoly characteristics of capital to the extreme, and has [-]% control of Huanxiang Industry.Especially in Huanxiang Tebang, every inch of land, every property, even every plant and tree nominally belonged to him.

This may be the pursuit of some people. This is the ultimate beauty, but it is not Hua Zhenxing's pursuit. He did it in the name of Feng Zibin. All this is just a means for him to create a world of fantasy in his vision. .

Beauty is the inner pursuit of all attitudes, beauty is the ultimate goal of all means, and beauty is the destination of everyone's heart, no matter what everyone thinks is beautiful.

This is Hua Zhenxing's answer.

After Hua Zhenxing finished speaking, Cheng Tianle couldn't help clapping his hands and said: "I heard that there was a wonderful discussion on Taoism at the Zhengyi Sanshan Meeting 25 years ago.

The last sentence of that question was 'what is cultivation'?Mr. Feng asked himself and answered: "Know where you come and go, you have to come and go, and come and go together, it's for cultivation." '

It's a pity that I was still ignorant back then, I hadn't stepped into the path of practice, and I didn't have the chance to witness it.Today, Mr. Ding asked 'what is beauty', and Mr. Hua answered 'beauty is where to go', but we can also get a glimpse of the beauty of the question and discussion back then. "

Speaking of this, he and Wen Xiaoshao glanced at each other, Wen Xiaoshao immediately nodded and said: "In that case, we will help you with this."

Gao Jianling was a little dumbfounded. He never expected such a scene. After just a question and an answer, Cheng Tianle and his wife agreed to help without any requirements or conditions.

If it wasn't for the requirement, it was to ask Hua Zhenxing to answer questions about Taoism. Is it true that all the real masters in the world play like this?

Before coming here, Gao Jianling had already made all kinds of mental preparations, how to pay the price of migrating tribesmen.Not to mention anything else, just the cost of relocating 8000 people to Mengn Garden is an astronomical sum!
Over the years, Gao Jianling also has some wealth, which is enough for him to live a good life anywhere, but it may not be enough to pay such a sum of money, not only travel expenses, but also settling expenses!
So Gao Jianling's original plan was to use Fengjin Village, the outside world, as a reward.

So before he came, he stated that if this matter can be achieved, he is willing to give Fengjin Village to Wanbianzong as a separate garden.Fengjin Village was given to Wanbianzong, so what about Huazhenxing?
Brother Kunlun knew that Hua Zhenxing was not short of money, and Hua Zhenxing also asked him for a reward, but Gao Jianling couldn't take advantage of it for nothing, so he could only think of other ways, for example, he, a Dacheng monk, would work for Yang Yuangu from now on... …

In fact, it's not a loss. Look at Sima's value, how nourishing his life is now, much more nourishing than his village chief Gao.But in any case, this can be regarded as taking what they need, and Hua Zhenxing is also short of people, let alone a Dacheng monk.

The reason why Gao Jianling was in a daze was because he was also thinking about Hua Zhenxing's question just now.A beautiful place to go, isn't what he does to find a better place for the clansmen?
After regaining his senses, Gao Jianling hurried forward to thank him, wishing he could just bow down on the treetops.Cheng Tianle waved his hands with a smile and said: "Mr. Gao doesn't have to be so polite, the reason we are willing to help is because it is a good thing.

As for the fact that you are willing to give Fengjin Village, a secret place outside the prescription, to Wanbianzong after the migration is completed, I am not hypocritical, and I am very happy to accept it... But this is a later story, let's discuss how to implement the migration first. "
