Chapter 55
Li Zongwu: "A person who is thick with black can win the country of a thousand times, but if he is not thick with black, he will not get it if he eats bean soup."

Li Zongwu said: "If there is a failure, a gentleman will turn himself back. I will not be thick, but he will turn himself thick. But failure is still the same. A gentleman will turn himself back. I will not be black, but he will be black Yes, but failure is still true." The gentleman said: "Anyone who opposes me is delusional and self-righteous. If this is the case, you have nothing to do with the beasts!"

The other is a variation, within the main text of the Thick Black Sutra, for example: "Zong Wu said: 'Don't call it thick, grind it but not thin it, don't call it black, wash it but not white.'" Later I changed it to:' It doesn't say thick, the more you wear it, the thicker it becomes, and the more you wash it, the darker it becomes. 'Someone asked me: 'How can there be such a thing in the world? ’ I said: ‘The scars on the hands and feet are getting thicker with wear, and the coals stained with dirt and dust are getting darker with washing. 'The skin of a human being is very thin, and gradually becomes thicker as you hone it slowly.The human heart is born black. When meeting people who talk about cause and effect, or people who talk about Confucianism, put some benevolence and morality on it, so that it will not be black. If it is washed away, the black body will naturally appear. "

There is a kind of person with extremely high nature, who understands this principle himself, and practices it without telling others; there is also a kind of person with pure talent, who has already entered this path, but he does not know it.Therefore, Zongwu said: "Practice it and stick to it, learn it but don't observe it, let it live your life, and don't know how thick and dark it is."

In addition to "Houhei Xue" and "Houhei Jing", Mr. Li Zongwu also wrote "Houhei Biography Xilu" which came out.It includes three major projects, one is "Six-Character Mantra for Seeking an Official", the other is "Six-Character Mantra for Being an Official", and the third is "Two Wonderful Ways to Do Things".He first seriously pointed out the need to carry forward the thick black study, and cited several great examples, and then pretended that a person who wanted to be an official asked him about his career, and taught him the above three sets of magic weapons.

One of the three sets of magic weapons is the "six-character mantra for seeking an official".The six characters are "empty", "tribute", "chong", "hold", "fear", and "send".

"Empty" is the meaning of leisure, which is divided into two: one refers to affairs.A person who seeks an official must put aside everything else, do not work, do not do business, do not farm, do not earn money, do not read books, do not teach, and focus on seeking them wholeheartedly.Two refers to time.Those who seek an official position must be patient and not in a hurry. If it does not take effect today, it will come again tomorrow.

"Gong" is a Sichuan dialect, and its meaning is the same as the word "Zhan" in Zanying.Mr. Li Zongwu defined it as: "If there is a hole, it must be drilled, and if there is no hole, a hole must be drilled!" Woohoo, where do you come from if you don't drill?Those who have holes will expand them, and those without holes should also take out a chisel and open a new hole for drilling, otherwise they will be discouraged when they meet saints, and they will not be able to be an official for a lifetime.

"Chong" means "boasting", and there are two ways to do it, one is oral and the other is writing.Oral can be divided into two types: ordinary places and in front of Shangfeng, and written can be divided into newspapers and magazines and spoken posts.As for which one is appropriate, the use of it is all in one mind.

"Holding" means flattering, and Wei Gong came out on the stage, and his behavior is an excellent example.

"Fear" means intimidation. If the word "Peng" reaches 12 points, but still does not receive the effect of 12 points, it must be less than the word "Fear".All the princes in Gaifan have weaknesses, as long as you find his vital points and tap him lightly, he will panic and frighten, and stand up and send the officials here.But the most important thing is to use the word "fear" carefully. If you use it too much, the adults and gentlemen will become angry.

"Send" means to give gifts, and there is a big difference between a big gift and a small gift.For big givers, send banknotes and US dollars in packs; for small givers, such as spring tea, ham, and restaurant invitations.As for the adults and gentlemen who are given away, there are also two categories.One is people who use the power of equanimity, and the other is people who can help me even though they have not exercised the power of equanimity.For other ordinary people, no matter how big the official is, there is no need to pay attention to them.

Mr. Li Zongwu said, as long as there are six words, it is guaranteed to produce miraculous effects. When those adults and gentlemen live alone in deep thought, they say to themselves: "A certain person wants to be an official, and he has said it many times (this is an empty word) effect), he has a certain relationship with me (this is the effect of tribute), he is very talented (this is the effect of punching words), he is very good to me (this is the effect of holding words), and this person I'm a bit bad-tempered, if I don't arrange it, I don't mean I won't make trouble (this is the effect of fearing words)." Thinking of this, I turned around and saw that there was a lot of black and white on the table (this is the effect of sending words) , There is nothing to say, when the official document is issued, there is a lack of someone to act, and the request for an official here can be said to be a complete merit.

If a commoner wants to become an official, he will naturally rely on the "six-character mantra for seeking an official" recommended by this gossip. After a lot of hard work, he will become an official whether it is the mayor, the minister, or the county magistrate. Whether it's a committee member or a director, anyway, once you get an official, you must know how to protect the official, otherwise, if you collapse in a year or so, wouldn't all your previous efforts be wasted?In view of this, Mr. Li Zongwu invented the "six-character mantra for being an official" in addition to the above-mentioned "six-character mantra for seeking an official" in "Houhei Zhuan Xilu". reference.

Those who are official six-character mantras include "kong", "gong", "tight", "fierce", "deaf", and "nong".

"Empty" means empty space. One is the empty space in writing. When encountering criticisms and announcements, they are all empty. There are many wonderful things in it, which are difficult to describe at a time. You can fully understand them by reading more official documents of various agencies; In the air, do whatever you want, you can move around, you can move east or west, sometimes you do it vigorously, but in fact there is a retreat hidden in the dark. Almost, never hang yourself up.

"Gong", it is true to bow and bow, wink eyebrows and smile flatteringly.There is direct respect, which refers specifically to the superior; there is indirect respect, which refers specifically to the relatives and friends of the superior.Among them, the knowledge is so great that words can't describe it.

"Tighten", the opposite of Gong, that is, to the common people or to one's own subordinates, to stretch the face as tight as the buttocks.There are two types, one is that the "tight" attitude looks like a big man, awe-inspiring and inviolable; But it's not too much.

As for "respect" and "stretch", Mr. Li Zongwu played it very vividly.He said, "respect" refers to the location of the job, not necessarily to the boss. If the boss can't affect the job, why should he respect him? The same is true for "strengthening". Anyone who does not affect their jobs may wish to treat them with "stretching", not necessarily the subordinates or common people.

"Fierce" means vicious.As long as you can achieve your own goals, you don't have to worry about other people's deaths and families, or prostitution.But there is one layer that should be noted that the word "fierce" must be covered with a layer of benevolence and morality. It is best to shout "Iron shoulders of morality", lament that people's hearts are not ancient, or participate in the Confucius and Mencius Society, in order to kill people like grass. hear the sound.

"Deaf" means deafness, that is, he laughs and scolds, and I am a good official. I don't care about attacks on public opinion and criticism of public opinion.At the same time, the deaf person also includes the meaning of "blind", seeing the reproach in words is equal to not seeing.

"Long", woohoo, this is the main trick, that is, to make money.As the saying goes, dragons come from thousands of miles away, and acupuncture points are formed here. The six characters in the previous "Six-Character Mantra for Seeking an Official" and the first five characters in the "Six-Character Mantra for Being an Official" introduced in this article, total eleven. The words are all designed for this word.If it's not for making money, who would go to such great lengths to beg for an official position?Moreover, the "nong" here and the "send" of seeking officials reflect each other. If someone sends it, someone else will do it.

Mr. Li Zongwu's "Six-Character Mantra for Seeking an Official" and "Six-Character Mantra for Being an Official" among the three magic weapons in "Houhei Zhuan Xilu" have been introduced separately. , it has a peerless appearance, I'm afraid I really don't understand it.

There are two wonderful methods, one is "sawing arrow method" and the other is "pot repairing method".

For those who saw arrows, someone was hit by an arrow and asked a surgeon for treatment. The doctor sawed off the shaft of the arrow and asked for medical expenses.Ask him: "What about the arrow?" The answer: "It's about internal medicine, you can go to internal medicine." Mr. Li Zongwu pointed out: Now (not the 'now' in 49 years of the Republic of China, but in the early years of the Republic of China The "now" should be stated to avoid misunderstanding) Most of the major officials of various agencies adopt this kind of clever method, such as the criticism: "According to the submission of such and such, it is extremely inconsistent, and I look forward to ordering the county magistrate , find out and report." The four characters "disagreement has been extremely" are saw arrow shafts, and "the county magistrate" is internal medicine.Look up or "wait for transfer to Shangfeng Nuclear Affairs Office", then "Shangfeng" is internal medicine again.For another example, someone asked me to do something, "I agree with this matter, but I still need to discuss it with someone."Mr. Bo Yang intends to expand and say: "meeting" can also be listed as an "example", including "principle is feasible" is sawing arrow shafts, "discussion at the meeting" and "technically to be studied" are also internal medicine.

Those who repair the pot, if the cooking pot is leaking, please ask a tinker to mend it. When the master is out of sight, the tinker will hit the broken pot with a hammer again, so the pot is not only broken, but also nearly broken. It is broken, but it is said that the pot is broken too badly, and a few more nails must be repaired.The price is naturally high, and then the pot is repaired.Master Tinker, two joys.Zheng Zhuanggong condoned Gong Shuduan and caused him to do many injustices, so he raised his troops to punish him. This is the magic method of mending the pot.There are many such incidents in history, and the examples cannot be exhausted in a lifetime.

Mr. Li Zongwu's general comment on these two methods is: "In the former Qing officialdom, generally only the sawing arrow method was used. In the officialdom since the Republic of China, sawing arrows and pot repairing were used interchangeably." As the saying goes, it is true that the times are progressing What?
The development of Houheixue to Zhuanxilu can be described as the pinnacle.But in the mid-term of the Anti-Japanese War, Mr. Li Zongwu expanded the content of biography and study records into four parts, one is the history of thick black, the second is thick black philosophy, the third is the application of thick black science, and the fourth is the history of the invention of thick black science.The form of his argument is: free to say whatever he wants to say; how to say what he says in his mouth, how to write in his pen; talk about academics, or recount trivial things in his life; write when he is happy, not when he is not happy; or write a long paragraph , or just write a few sentences without any restrictions.When writing, if you quote a certain event or a certain allusion, but there has never been such an event or such an allusion in history, what should you do? Mr. Li Zongwu said bluntly: "I will fabricate one myself." Different, a thinker just expresses his opinion, but it is difficult to speak out of the air, so he has to take the sheep by hand to increase his strength. Even Mr. Confucius has to rely on the ancients to reform the system, let alone Mr. Li Zongwu, a thinker who is bigger than Mr. Kong Qiu?
In addition to the three major works of "Xue", "Jing" and "Lu" mentioned above, Mr. Li Zongwu, the leader of Houhei, was good at writing ladder articles in his life, either in essay style or in novel style. Laughing and cursing.That's why some people say: "The thick black sect is alive, which is a great irony in the world." It is very good.Gai not only satirizes the world, but also satirizes himself, but when he satirizes himself, he also satirizes the world viciously.The term "thick black" is obviously used to expose the hole cards of the world, but he is alone. Someone once asked: "Why are you scolding people?" He replied: "How dare I scold others, I scold me!" So, Gentlemen have no choice but to keep their mouths shut.

In addition to the three major works of "Xue", "Jing", and "Lu", he also has an article "Philosophy of Henpeck", with "Fear of Sutra" attached to compare Confucianism's filial piety. The offense can be said to be extremely sharp.We don't know whether he is afraid of his wife or not, but he strongly advocates that friends should set up a "research association for fear of learning", and his insight is really superior to others.

The content of "Philosophy of Henpeck" is that in the establishment of a country, there must be a certain center of gravity. China is known as a country of etiquette, and the five ethics are the most important.The ancient sages specially proposed the word "filial piety" in Wulun, thinking that it is the foundation of a hundred behaviors, so he said: "It is not filial piety to be loyal to the emperor, it is not filial piety to be unfaithful to friends, and it is not filial piety to have no courage in battle." The national center of gravity, established In terms of "filial piety", various civilizations have been produced. However, since Europe spread eastward, "filial piety" collapsed first, and the whole country lost its center of gravity. How can the country not decline?Mr. Li Zongwu said: Among the five ethics, the monarch and ministers are revolutionized, father and son are equal in power, and brothers and friends have long been thrown away. Fortunately, there are still couples. We should build all cultures on the basis of Above this one.All children in the world know how to love their relatives, and the accumulated love becomes filial piety, so the ancient culture was based on "filial piety".Husbands in this world know nothing about loving their wives, and accumulated love becomes fear, so the future culture should be based on "fear", and "fear" will naturally become the focus of the whole country.

Mr. Li Zongwu said: "Sichuan should be the first to promote the advancement of fear learning. Mr. Chen Jichang in the Song Dynasty was a well-known giant of fear. Said: "Suddenly heard the roar of the lion in the east of the river, and the stick fell to the ground, and I was at a loss. "Mr. Chen Jichang is not an ordinary person, but a well-known high-ranking scholar, but a high-ranking scholar is so afraid of his wife. It is only natural to be afraid of his wife."

Mr. Li Zongwu said: "Earlier, there was a Mr. Liu Bei who lived in Sichuan for a long time. He was afraid of learning something. He was an inventor and a practitioner. On his wedding night, he knelt down to his wife. Soochow, whenever something bad happened, he would watch over his wife and cry bitterly, and kneel down as a common practice. He always turned bad luck into good luck, and turned disaster into good luck. This method he invented can be said to be the best way to overcome the boundless sea of ​​suffering. Man, anyone who encounters the lion's roar in the east of the river can take out Mr. Liu's magic weapon and make sure there will be peace and harmony."

Mr. Li Zongwu even used historical events to prove that after the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the North and the South confronted each other, and the Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen Dynasties did not unify the North and the South until the Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty came out.One day, Empress Dugu lost her temper, and Mr. Yang Jian was so frightened that he ran to the mountains to hide. He hid for two days, and only after being persuaded by the minister, Mr. Yang Su, did he dare to come back.The Sutra of Fear says: "Seeing a wife is like a mouse, seeing an enemy like a tiger." Mr. Yang Jian's rule of the two worlds, who said it is not appropriate?Mr. Li Zongwu not only explored the basis of the philosophy of henpeia from history, but also investigated the contemporary political figures, and came to the conclusion: the higher the official rank, the deeper the degree of henpeia, and the official rank and fear The degree is almost directly proportional.

Therefore, based on the facts of the past and the present, the Houhei leader summed up a number of theorems, which are called "fear of the scriptures", so as to wake up future generations.I would like to introduce it later.

The leader said: "The husband is afraid, the scriptures of heaven, the righteousness of the earth, and the actions of the people. The five punishments belong to three thousand, and there is no crime greater than not being afraid."

The leader said: "As a man, he is also afraid of his wife, but it is rare to dare to do wrong outside. Everyone dares to do wrong, but it is not possible to say that the country is not prosperous. , the foundation of revival of China."

The leader said: "It is only for adults to have the heart to be afraid of their wives. Once they are afraid of their wives, the foundation of the country will be established."

The leader said: "The way to be afraid of learning is to stop at the ultimate good, to be a wife to be strict, to be a husband to be afraid, there is a strict ruler in the family, and the wife is also called a wife. The wife issues orders inside, and the husband runs outside. Dayi also."

The leader said: "Great, the wife is the way, the only wife is so towering, the wife is the only one, the swaying is the incompetent, the ignorant, the wife is the one."

The leader said: "Introduce it without paying attention to it, practice it without observing it, and fear your wife all your life, and there are many people who don't know that they are afraid of their wives."

The leader said: "When a gentleman sees his wife's anger, he is unwilling to eat, he is not happy when he hears music, and he lives in a restless place. Sincerity must be respected. Don't let it belong to you."

The leader said: "The wife has made mistakes. She is angry and pleasant, and remonstrates softly. If she doesn't come in, she will be in awe. If she doesn't listen to the three remonstrances, she will cry and follow. The wife is angry, she bleeds, and dare not Resentment, reverence and fear."

The leader said: "For a husband, if he goes out in the morning but does not return, his wife will look at the door;

The leader said: "A gentleman's business is also about his wife. He sees the invisible and listens to the silent. Entering the boudoir door, bowing as if you are also, if you are not ordered to sit, you dare not sit, if you are not ordered to retreat, you dare not retreat. The wife is also worried, and the wife is happy. Also happy."

The leader said: "It is not fear of being unfaithful in the country, and it is not fear of friends not believing in you. You dare not forget your wife when you move your feet, and you do not forget your wife when you speak. If you are good, you will think about naming your wife. It will be fruitful; if you are not good, you will think about it." Humiliation by his wife will surely fail."

The leader said: "Wife is the one entrusted by her husband for life. Her body, hair and skin belong to all the wives. Don't dare to damage it. I am afraid of the beginning. Stand up and practice the way and make your name known to future generations to show your wife. I am afraid of the end."

In the twelve chapters of "You Jing", Mr. Li Zongwu explained: "For fear of learning and entering the door of Taoism, its taste is endless. If a husband is a husband, if you get something from playing with it, you will use it for life, and some people can't use it up."

Mr. Li Zongwu was able to die without being tied up in court, is it really a blessing from heaven?
This gossip introduces the leader of Houhei, and it has lasted for ten or two days. It is not easy to publish a single volume, and sporadic reports are reported, so that everyone can enjoy the novels.Mr. Li Zongwu is devoted to friendship and has a long history of morality. He never favors others easily in his life, and he is very careful in choosing friends.But after making friends, they promised each other life and death.He had two closest friends, Mr. Zhang Liewu, a revolutionary pioneer. After the restoration of [-], he was promoted to be the first governor of Sichuan, and later served as an adviser to the presidential palace, but was killed by Mr. Yuan Shikai.Mr. Li Zongwu said, this man is utterly loyal and has accomplished a lot. If he is alive, Sichuan will never be in a mess.One was Mr. Liao Xuchu, a Neo-Confucianist, who served as the head of audit. Later, he saw that the state affairs were changing, and died of depression.Mr. Li Zongwu said, this person is just and strict in his work, and his morals are high. Every time he makes the enemy party admire him, if he is in power, is there corruption in the world?Mr. Li Zongwu's unfulfilled wish in his life is not to write a biography for his two dead friends. When the Japanese planes bombed Chongqing most violently, he wrote several times to Mr. Zhang Mosheng, the author of "The Master of the Thick Black Sect". , When it comes to "Zhang Liewu's tomb is in Futuguan, it must be scorched earth at this time!" His careful choice of friends is so serious, and his friendship is so honest. Who can believe that "six-character mantras for seeking an official" and "six-character mantras for being an official" are true. Is it from him?Sad people use sneers instead of sobs, my God!

Mr. Li Zongwu died of illness in Ziliujing main house on September 32, the 28nd year of the Republic of China (that is, the newly appointed birthday of Confucius, who has his own master in the dark?).In May, he was still in good health, but then he suddenly suffered from apoplexy and finally passed away.The next day, various newspapers in Chengdu used the title of "Houhei Sect Master" to publish special telegrams of his death.As for his second son, he had passed away long ago, but his grandchildren had grown up at that time, and the leader had a spirit, so he could feel at ease about family affairs.However, when it comes to state affairs, the mess is the same as before, can he stop singing wildly and cry bitterly? !

Thin white science.
