I can talk to my internal organs

Chapter 101 You, You've Got a Look!

"Old man, teach me the Book of Changes."

The method of opening acupoints obtained by Lu Jiu now requires knowledge related to the Book of Changes.

If he can understand a little of the Book of Changes, his medical skills will also be improved.

What's more, Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, once said, "Those who don't know Yi are not enough to speak of imperial physicians."

If a Chinese medicine doctor doesn't even understand the Book of Changes, then he can only be an ordinary Chinese medicine doctor forever. Therefore, if he wants to reach the level of medical treatment, he must learn the Book of Changes, and he must learn it well!
The old man is the only one around Lu Jiu who can understand the Book of Changes.

"Well, then I'll pack the leeks first." The old man smiled.

After finishing speaking, the old man walked into the main room, put the leeks in the basin into a large bowl, and sealed it with white gauze. After washing his hands, he took out a yellowed booklet from the room.

"If you want to learn the Book of Changes, you must know the hexagrams first. Let me tell you about the 64 hexagrams first. You memorize them slowly. Remember first and then understand..."

Under the night, the old man is illuminated by a light with a low wattage hanging on the eaves, but his eyes are as usual, and his sight is not blocked at all. Seven or eighty years old without presbyopia is considered a skill.

"Qian: Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen. Ninth day: Qianlong, don't use it. Ninth two: Seeing the dragon in the field, benefiting the adults. Ninth three: A gentleman works all day long, vigilant at night, no blame..."

"Yuan, the weather is also, Jianyuan, the beginning of the germination of the weather; prosperity, mastery; profit, benefit from it; chastity, occupation, observation..."

"..."

The old man spoke very carefully, besides reciting the ancient text for Lu Jiu to recite along with him, he would also translate the meaning of it.

Even so, Lu Jiu had a hard time listening.

Fortunately, Lu Jiu also knew some learning methods. When the old man was explaining, he picked up a broken red brick and drew while listening.

The hexagrams are all composed of lines. When drawing, the mind, eyes and hands are all there, and then the ears are used to listen, so that the memory points can be strengthened, and the memory will not be forgotten when you turn your head.

As for when to understand it, it is natural to listen to it several times and see for yourself.

Unknowingly, one or two hours passed, but the old man only spoke five hexagrams.

"Phew, old man, it's alright. If I continue talking, I'm afraid my cup will blow up." Lu Jiu said.

Now that he heard it, he almost forgot the content of the first Qian hexagram. In this state, it is meaningless to listen to it any more.

"Hehehe, take your time, if you find it difficult, then I will talk less later." The old man laughed.

"Actually, I'm quite curious about how the lines and hexagrams came about. Why did the ancients use such things for learning?" Lu Jiu asked.

"There are changes in the Tao, so it is called Yao; Yao has equalities, so it is called things; things are mixed, so it is called Wen; improper writing, so good and bad. This sentence should explain your doubts. Yao is just a symbolic interpretation of natural changes. One horizontal line is Yang Yao, and two horizontal lines are Yin Yao. The change of yin and yang will produce material changes. The same is water. There are water from mountains and seas, and snow water and rain. It determines the development of things, everything intersects, and then it can be written. Improper writing means that yang is not in yang, and yin is not in yin. At this time, there will be good and bad changes, and there will be hexagrams. For example, if virtue does not match, there must be a bad omen.

Hearing this, Lu Jiu pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of the first sentence in the opening chapter of the "Huangdi Neijing", "Yin and Yang Yingxiang", "Yin and Yang are the way of heaven and earth, the discipline of all things, the parents of changes, the origin of life and death, and the palace of gods."

The meaning of this sentence is not difficult to understand. It probably means that yin and yang are the avenue for the movement of heaven and earth in the universe, the discipline of all things, the origin of all phenomena, the root cause of the birth and death of all things, and the location of gods.

In the Book of Changes, yin and yang are replaced with concrete symbols such as yao, and then hexagrams are derived, and each hexagram has its interpretation of the rules of heaven and earth. That is to say, the ancient ancestors were studying the rules of heaven and earth from the beginning, and also gave a series of deduction formulas.

The Book of Changes is the sum of these formulas!

But how on earth did they combine these rules with the hexagrams?

Lu Jiuguang felt dizzy just thinking about it, not to mention how terrifying the ancients who created these things must have been.

Regardless of whether these things are real or not, and whether their interpretation of the laws of the world makes sense, just creating these things already requires wisdom that ordinary people can't match.

If all this knowledge is false, can the Book of Changes really deceive one after another extremely intelligent ancients in the thousands of years of Chinese civilization?
Lu Jiu couldn't help laughing when he thought of those comments on the Internet that ridiculed the ancients. In terms of knowledge, people nowadays are indeed better than the ancients. But in terms of wisdom, the seismograph made by an ancient man cannot be reproduced by modern technology, which shows that the ancients were not as stupid as we imagined.

After all, the computer that is leading the scientific and technological revolution today has the same binary principle as the theory of yin and yang, and it is Zhu Chuanju, a Chinese native, who combines binary and electronic circuits to bring revolutionary algorithms to computers.

Coincidentally, when a certain country announced the list of scientific researchers, only this one was missed.

So far, when it comes to the inventor of the computer, few people know that there is such a big guy.

"Old man, you said that if China's original technology has not been interrupted and we develop according to the theory of yin and yang, will it create a technological world different from the current one?" Lu Jiu asked with a smile.

The old man shook his head, "No."

Lu Jiu was puzzled, "Are you so sure?"

The old man smiled and said, "Creation does not exist in this world, everything is just discovery."

Lu Jiudao, "Creation doesn't exist? What are so many inventions and creations from ancient times to the present? Discovery?"

The old man smiled, "Yes."

Lu Jiu thought the old man didn't understand, "What about mobile phones and computers, and rocket satellites researched by the country, are these also discoveries?"

The old man smiled and said, "It's all."

Lu Jiu frowned, "Old man, if you want to say that, you are a bit idealistic."

The old man smiled and said, "Creation is a process from scratch. Whether it is a mobile phone, a computer, or a rocket satellite, the raw materials they have and the various theoretical systems they need have already existed in this world, thousands of years ago, but no one knew about it, no one explored it, and naturally no one discovered it."

"The world you and I know has its own unique laws. When it develops to a certain level, it will open something to human beings. The key factor that determines the degree of development is the productivity named by the modern theory. When the productivity matches the laws that exist between heaven and earth, God will give human beings a thought that will drive him to discover new things. Therefore, even if Huaxia's technology will not be interrupted, new things will still not be born when the productivity does not reach the level that matches the laws."

A little round.

Lu Jiu felt that the old man's words broke his understanding of science.

But what he said doesn't seem to be entirely unreasonable.

"Then according to your opinion, everything we have now is given by God?" Lu Jiu asked.

The old man smiled and said, "There must still be some kind of raw materials and laws that will dominate the future world in this world. If God doesn't give it to you, how will you discover it? Just like the idea you have at this time, is it really your own idea? Could it be an idea that was bred by many influences such as family, education, society, and the environment? Can you tell clearly how much initiative you have in it?"

Lu Jiu was at a loss.

My thoughts, not my thoughts?
But what the world has shaped, what I thought I thought?
It's a bit messy!
My mind is a little messed up!
Lu Jiu has blown up his cpu now!

For a long time, Lu Jiu stared at the old man, "Old man, am I still me?"

The old man laughed loudly, "Of course you are you. Everything in this world can be given by God, but only life comes from nothing. Therefore, everyone is the most special existence. This is why our Taoists want to cultivate this life, not the afterlife!"

"The greed, hatred, and obsession that people have are just tests given to us by God. If we care too much, we will lose our original mind. Therefore, our thoughts follow the sky, the Tao follows nature, and we pursue the origin of all laws, so as to achieve no desires, no desires, no disasters and no diseases. This is the greatest practice in our life.
