Chapter 48 Nuwa Fuxi Double Helix
Many people were intoxicated in the deliberately created atmosphere, fantasizing about this or that scene, recalling the various crops they had actually seen, and observing those wheat that had not been frozen to death.

The crisp children's voices blended with the setting sun, and then a few simpler songs of doctored poetry were sung.

Standing on the east side of the crowd, waiting for the crowd to wake up from the drunkenness of the song, ready to explain the simplest and most complicated people.

This was not the first time he faced so many people, but it was the first time he spoke about something complicated, and the audience was only members of the village community.

If he communicated with Mozi, he might be able to use the principle of Babi Wanzi to explain the tens of thousands of different meanings formed by the binary-like base pair ratio.

It's the same as the word, but one is that eight strokes are combined to make many differences, and the other is two pairs that write many.

It is unnecessary to talk about this with these villagers, and it is also a mistake that Gong Zaoye once said about him: talk about things that the audience can't understand without distinguishing the audience.

Everyone has asked him similar questions more than once, and he has been procrastinating until today just to prepare for the construction in advance.

After the singing stopped, Shijiao people brought up a wooden board painted with white ash.

There is a general picture of Fuxi and Nuwa drawn with charcoal on it, without any modification, it is drawn according to the familiar appearance of people all over the world.

The human head is a snake body, and the lower body is intertwined, naturally forming a perfect double helix structure.It's just a coincidence, but it provides enough room for proper punctuation.

This picture is suitable for my own drawing. I used charcoal sketches and prints for the upper body, relying on the foundation of drawing blackboard drawings in junior high school, the upper body drawing is very lifelike at this time.

The charming Nuwa, Kongwu's powerful Fuxi, the chest that shows motherhood, and the muscles that show father's strong outfit...

The intertwined snake tail of the lower body uses the method of drawing three views, resulting in an intuitive double-helix three-dimensional effect.

Where Fuxi and Nuwa are intertwined, countless connecting lines are drawn.

This painting is actually an ordinary painting, but in the eyes of everyone in the village, it is too beautiful and majestic to look directly at.

Many people have heard the legend of Fuxi and Nuwa, so of course they can tell at a glance that this painting is Fuxi and Nuwa.

According to an appropriate legend, many brothers were born on Kunlun Mountain, the first ancestors who traveled far and wide to achieve human society.

The story leaves an ambiguous place here: in the future, if you are poor, you will only go to the barbarians outside Kyushu; if you are rich, you will go far away.

He didn't directly explain the problem of Nuwa's body and acquaintance with craftsmen. This is something that can be delayed for many years, and what he wants to talk about is only part of it.

But he didn't start talking directly, but placed several large and small clay pots on the wooden board in front of him.

In front of the pot, there is a square made of wood. Seen from the front, the size of this square is just enough to hold a large pot.

Shi first put a large clay pot and a small clay pot into the grid, and everyone only saw the big pot.

Two more large clay pots were placed, and everyone only saw the big clay pots.

Finally, two small clay pots were placed, and everyone finally saw the small clay pots.

After explaining the principle of this simple clay pot clearly, Shi finally talked about Nuwa and Fuxi.

"Someone asked me what Nuwa and Fuxi looked like. I haven't seen the specific appearance, but I know that Nuwa and Fuxi must have double eyelids and curled tongues."

After finishing speaking, he stuck out his tongue in the cold wind and rolled it.

Many people laughed and followed his example.

It's just that some people can roll and some can't.

Those who couldn't curl and those with single eyelids shouted, "Then we are not the descendants of Fuxi and Nuwa?"

Shi smiled and pointed to the square just now, and said, "If the tongue can curl, it is a big pot; if the tongue cannot curl, it is a small pot. Nuwa and Fuxi are two pots, one big and one small, so You say, if you can see Nuwa Fuxi, can you see the big pot or the small pot?"

After speaking, four clay pots were placed, two large and two small.

"Nuwa and Fuxi, intersecting begets ten thousand people. But some of these people have double eyelids, some have single eyelids. Some are tall, some are short. Some can curl their tongues, and some can't curl their tongues... All these things, some people say they are unknowable .But I want to say that Tianzhi can know this.”

"Nuwa Fuxi is for her parents, and each contributes half, so there are different possibilities."

After reassembling the four pots, many people below finally understood.

Shi Xin said, anyway, Confucius is not yet a saint, so let's make up a story about him.

"It is said that Kong Zhongni was born from a wild marriage of his parents. His mother had single eyelids and her tongue could not curl. His father also had single eyelids and his tongue could not curl. Later, when Kong Zhongni grew up and his mother passed away, he finally found his father. His father took a few glances at him and decided that this was his son. So tell me, does Kong Zhongni have single eyelids or double eyelids? Can his tongue curl or not?”

As soon as he finished speaking, many people burst out laughing and answered, recalling the appearance and characteristics of their parents one after another, and they became more and more convinced.

But there were also a few women whose complexions changed slightly after hearing these words, and they lowered their heads not daring to look at their husbands, or hurriedly turned their heads to one side, their hearts beating violently.

He said in his heart that he just wanted to listen to Tianzhi Paradise, how could he know that Tianzhi could cause those unspeakable incidents before?

Shi Shi knew what he said, and didn't know how many family conflicts it would cause, but he didn't care.

After making a comparison with the big pot, the small pot and the wooden grid, everyone basically accepted this point of view.

From the parents, it is natural that the parents will each give half and combine to form a new person. This is a simple truth.

But this simple truth makes many things that are difficult to understand and thought to be destined by fate suddenly become clear.

Pointing to the entangled tail of the double helix Nuwa Fuxi he drew, pointing to the lines on it, he said: "The intersecting lines one after another represent a characteristic. According to In my Mohism, the distinction between the big story and the small story can be called big show and small show.”

"Remember one sentence, the two big ones must appear big, the two small ones must appear small, and the one large and one small must appear large."

"There are tens of thousands of these characteristics. I don't know everything, but I know some of them. For example, tongue, chin, skin color, hair curl or not, eyelids, deaf-mute... Let me tell you one by one, and you can look at them one by one. Is that so?"

As he said, everyone referred to him, most of them nodded, while a small number of people looked at their wives with angry faces.

Those with angry faces chose to believe Shi at this time, instead of choosing to believe in their wives.

Shi said again: "Some people give birth to deaf-mute or cleft-lip disabled children, and they think that they have done something wrong to offend God, and even think it is a punishment. But it is not. It's just that you have such a little obvious , the wife also happens to have Xiaoxian, you two are normal, but the children you give birth to may be Shuang Xiaoxian."

"The ancient sages knew about the will of heaven, so they formulated the etiquette, no marriage of the same surname, and brothers and sisters not sleeping together. This is why many of the practices of the ancient sages are based on the will of heaven. They may think that it is unreasonable to talk to the people of the world. If there is no reason, then hide such a reason in etiquette.”

"But not all etiquette is in line with the will of heaven. Mr. Mo Di once said that if I have the will of heaven, I am just like a craftsman with rules and measures. If it conforms to the will of heaven, we will inherit it; if it does not conform to the will of heaven, we will go to it." Correct. Only in this way can we reach the final paradise.”

Seeing everyone nod their heads, they pointed to the picture of Fuxi and Nuwa and said, "Someone once asked me, if the ghost is still alive, what would he think of us?"

This question is asked by many people.

Would the ghost feel that the person at this time is guilty?Do you think people are morally depraved at this time?Do you feel that suffering like this is because you violated the wishes of the ghost?What should people do to make ghosts and gods like them?
This is a moral issue, and Shi has his own understanding of the word moral.

Facing this question, he laughed and said, "Before Tian Gui was alive, he knew all about the will of heaven. In his eyes, beauty, ugliness, or both are just the laws of heaven and earth."

After pausing for a moment, he drew a separate double helix diagram, which was just the tail of Fuxi and Nuwa, without the head.

Pointing to this double helix diagram, he said: "If Tiangui is alive, with his eyes that understand the will of heaven, you, me and those princes are just such a double helix. He can't see single eyelids, he can only see The big show and the small show, so it is said that the eyes of ghosts can't see people, but they can guess people."

"All of us, in the eyes of Heavenly Ghost, are the same double helix, but the intersection lines are different. What is the difference? Therefore, in the eyes of those who know the will of Heaven, all people in the world are equal. Ah, there is no inborn high or low."

Shi took the opportunity to promote the ideas of Mohists, and then said: "Now that you know this kind of will, let me ask you. If the wheat grain is big, it is big, and the grain is small, then choose the wheat seed Do you choose the big one or the small one?"

This is a question that doesn't need to be asked, because even if these people don't know the concept, they already know what kind of wheat seeds to choose technically.

When asked this way, these people immediately changed from knowing why to knowing why.Those questions that were thought to be so, turned out to hide such a will, and I believe that the will that Shi said can really explain a lot of things.

Shi said again: "The same surname is not married, brothers and sisters do not sleep, this is the etiquette in line with the will of heaven, but this kind of etiquette should not be placed on animals such as cattle and horses. On the contrary, the closer the relatives are, the easier it is to give birth to the children of Shuang Daxian, Of course, it is also possible to give birth to the offspring of Shuang Xiaoxian."

Shi Shi smiled and said: "But cows and horses gave birth to Shuang Xiaoxian's cubs, we fell to death. But parents gave birth to Shuang Xiaoxian's children, who would have the heart to fall to death? This is the difference between humans and animals, and it is also human etiquette The reason why it cannot be used on animals. Anyone who wants to apply human etiquette to animals is a person who does not understand the will of heaven and misinterprets the will of heaven. You must be careful of such people, they are The greatest enemy that prevents us from reaching the paradise!"

Everyone kept this sentence firmly in mind, and said again: "God's will is infinite, but it can also be learned and understood. Just like I can now know the big and small hair of the eyelids and chin, but more is not what I can now Got it."

"We Mohists will find ways to comprehend more of the will of heaven. In the future, we will breed pigs weighing hundreds of catties, sheep that eat less and grow fatter, sheep that specialize in wool, and sheep that can grow faster to prepare for famine and frost. Seeds, large horses weighing two thousand catties dedicated to cultivating land... these are not necessarily impossible."

After talking for so long, he didn't actually solve the problem of where it came from, but only explained a small part of the problem.

But these problems are enough for these people to believe in Tianzhi, and it is also enough for them to digest for a while.

As for more, it was slowly completed later.

He used Tianzhi to explain the hidden substance behind some etiquette, causing people to think about the origin of things, and what morality and etiquette come from.

He used the fact that people in the eyes of the ghosts are double helixes, telling people that in the eyes of the ghosts, all living beings are equal, and he was actually preparing for the explanation of the ghosts in the future...

Perhaps the future Tiangui is more like a robot that has no emotion and inspires people's knowledge after the world is destroyed. When one day he sees the thriving human world and is happy and wants to integrate into the human world, he will die.

Therefore, heavenly ghosts like everything about human beings, beautiful and ugly, kind and vicious. For heavenly ghosts, it is a vibrant human world.

He explained the appearance of a person and the relationship between parents with the will of heaven, which attracted many people to listen and feel curious, and also provided a new way of thinking for the matter of farming.

After explaining the appearance of people with the will of heaven to attract people, he said that the paradise is a deduction of knowing the will of heaven. As long as people believe in the single and double eyelids, they will also believe that the paradise is in line with the will of heaven in addition to seeds and technology. Chi's deduction.

Perhaps he will leave the village soon.However, there are always traces wherever he walks, and after he leaves, these words will spread around this village as the center.

Maybe after he left, many families would quarrel, and many children would roll their tongues and ponder the parents' eyelids.

Maybe after he left, when there are New Year pictures one day, the picture of Fuxi and Nuwa will become like a series of thin lines connected at the end, which will no longer be the same as before.

Perhaps after he left, these singing teenagers grew up and changed their voices, but there will be new children to take their place and pass on this habit.

As Gongzaozhu said, thousands of villages are the world.

Everything he does here, the way he does it, will be like wildfire on the autumn plain. Under the spread of the Mohists he cultivated, it will spread throughout Kyushu in a way that is similar to religion and conforms to people's cognition at this time. .

After this meeting, he has completed the start of what to do in this village, and also provided a model that can be implemented.

As long as there is enough money, people who buy cattle, smelt iron, rent and lend it to the village community, and have the ability to protect these things from being robbed by others, can spread faster, be more profitable, and gather more people.

As for the affairs of the village community, as long as there are people, they should follow the plan and follow the gourd painting.Just like planting, he planted a seed, and many such villages can be reaped ten years later.

But now, he has let Mozi see everything he wants Mozi to see, and he can finally leave this village and focus on the affairs of the city, officials, nobles, and other countries.
