Daqin: Confucianism, Law, and Taoism

The plan of the day is in the morning, on the eastern horizon, the morning sun rises slowly, there are birds chirping in the garden, the breeze blows, and the water waves are not happy.

Inside the house, Huan Wei sat cross-kneeled on the bed, his five hearts facing the sky, and there was an internal force surging in the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, running every week.

For a long time, Huan Wei opened his eyes, only to see a flash of essence in his eyes, although the glimmer of that moment could not reach the realm of whiteness in the void, but also touched that trace of truth.

"Carrying the camp and hugging one, can you leave it? Can you be as soft as a baby? "

"Can you clean the mysteries? Love the people and govern the country, can you do nothing? "

"The gate of heaven is open, can it be for the female? Understand Sida, can you be ignorant? "

"The beast of life, born without having it, for the sake of not being ashamed, growing without slaughtering, is called Xuande!"

Huan Wei recited aloud a chapter of this Tao Te Ching, feeling his inner breath gradually approaching the 'Tao'.

"Whew-"

With a mouthful of turbid breath in his body, Huan Wei got up from the bed, straightened his brocade clothes, and came to the window to stand still, admiring the blossoms and flowers in front of the court.

The contents of this Tao Te Ching read like a method of cultivation, but in fact it is indeed a method of cultivation.

It's just that this article is not telling you how to use internal force to walk the 'technique' of the eight veins of the Qi Meridian, but directly points to the 'meaning' of the 'Xuande' avenue.

What this passage teaches people is exactly how to practice the order of virtue and become the way.

Although it was called the Tao Te Ching in later generations, after reading the original text in this pre-Qin era, Huan Wei did not think that this philosophical work of Lao Tzu should be called the "Book of De Dao".

The 'virtue' chapter comes first, the 'Tao' chapter comes last, and first cultivates virtue before becoming enlightened.

"Lao Tzu is worthy of the ancestor of Taoism, and has influenced an unknown number of sons and hundreds of schools, and this Tao Te Ching has actually described the highest method of cultivation."

Huan Wei sighed.

Coming to this pre-Qin period with martial arts, Huan Wei naturally wanted to become a master.

And if you want to become a master, practicing internal strength is an inevitable process.

It's just that many profound methods of cultivating internal strength are unpassed down secrets such as Moism, Confucianism, Taoism, etc.

And the various factions are self-cherishing, and it is difficult to learn the core methods of these sects.

However, since he worshipped Xunzi as a teacher, he naturally came into contact with the Confucian method of internal strength practice.

People have eight meridians of odd meridians, but the eight meridians of odd meridians in the human body will not define which meridians are defined as 'Tao' and which meridians are defined as 'Confucian'.

Therefore, the profound methods of all schools and schools actually have the same path, and they are all the experiences summed up by predecessors in countless practices, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior.

Naturally, these experiences have become secret for all sects.

And the reason why these cultivation methods are divided into different classifications such as 'Confucianism', 'Tao', 'Mo', etc., mainly lies in the comprehension of those who practice internal skills.

Confucian people learn those Confucian classics every day, and the internal force naturally cultivated has the 'meaning' of Confucianism.

Taoist people recite and comprehend the Taoist classics every day, and the internal strength they practice is close to 'Dao'.

Therefore, just like Huan Wei, although he practiced the Confucian method of internal strength, the essence of his thinking was to control Confucianism and law with the 'Tao', so the internal force he practiced was closer to Taoism.

Huan Wei's temperament is biased towards Confucianism, but when using martial arts, people must suspect that he is actually a disciple of the Taoist 'Tianzong' or 'Renzong'.

This method of internal martial arts practice is not martial arts at all, but somewhat mysterious.

But thinking that those people in the Yin-Yang family can play these things such as Yin-Yang Technique, the fantasy doesn't seem to be a big deal at all.

Chanting 'morality' every morning and practicing internal martial arts has become a good habit that Ying Wei has cultivated over the years.

Especially after practicing internal skills in the morning, the day will be clear and sharp-minded, with such benefits, Huan Wei naturally also study diligently.

There is no one of the hundreds of families that makes everyone submit, so there is no division of realms in this era.

In particular, the root of the hundreds of schools lies in the road of thought and governance, martial arts is only an external 'art', the pursuit of martial arts and abandonment of thinking, then the abandonment of the book will fall into the inferior.

The so-called martial arts are actually used to protect the Dharma.

However, although there is no detailed division of realms in this period, Lao Tzu's scripture almost points out the order and purpose of a person's practice.

'Can you leave the camp and embrace one?' Can you be as soft as a baby? ’

The meaning of this sentence is the unity of spirit and body, and the concentration of qi can be like a baby.

According to the understanding of this later life, it is actually to refine, cultivate qi, and cultivate the spirit, so as to achieve the innate realm.

'Can you clean up the mysteries? Love the people and govern the country, can you do nothing? ’

This phrase means to cleanse the mind and make the mind peaceful so that there are no blemishes.

By loving the people and governing the country, we can conform to nature.

According to the understanding of martial arts, that is, after achieving innateness, it is necessary to begin to cultivate the state of mind, so that the mind is free of distractions, so as to be perfect.

When the state of mind is immaculate, you can comprehend your own 'Tao', which is to follow the principles of nature.

'When the gate of heaven is opened and closed, can it be for the female?' Understand Sida, can you be ignorant? ’

This sentence means that after comprehending one's own Dao, one can open the Gate of Heaven and thus regulate the Dao that belongs to oneself.

That is, whether it is Confucianism, Moism or Taoism, they will thoroughly understand their own ideas and concepts, which can be called the realm of 'great'.

After comprehending one's own way, one law and all laws are universal, so as to completely abide by the laws of nature, know everything, truly unite heaven and man, and finally achieve Xuande.

Therefore, without passing this chapter of the Tao Te Ching, he forcibly defines the realm of this world as:

The seven realms of 'day after tomorrow', 'innate', 'heart-washing', 'enlightenment', 'heaven's gate', 'unity' and 'xuande'.

In this world, just exercising and learning some fist and foot kung fu are the acquired realm.

And as long as people who can get the orthodox internal strength cultivation method, they can cultivate innate after diligent study and hard training, so as to become some knights who can go high.

After that, there is the concept of strengthening the self, cleansing the mind, exercising the state of mind, this is 'washing the heart'.

Then, after the mind is clear, it is necessary to comprehend one's own path, that is, the 'enlightenment path'.

The two realms of heart washing and enlightenment are not very difficult for all the sons and hundreds of schools, especially the Confucian, Tao, Mo, and Yin-Yang families.

Confucianism recites the classics, Taoists learn the Taoist scriptures, and this is a process of washing the heart.

As for enlightenment, it is simpler, as long as you recognize yourself as a disciple of Confucianism, Mojia, etc., and practice it with Confucianism, Mojia and other concepts, this is enlightenment, forcibly turning the Confucian way into your own way.

After this, the 'Gate of Heaven' is to practice their own way to the extreme, and there are very few people who can do this, and only a few people in a hundred families can reach this realm.

After all, most people know what is true and why, even if they recite Confucian classics every day, can they really understand the true meaning of Confucianism?

Most people just draw gourds, follow cats and tigers, and do it according to the classics, without knowing why they do it.

The final unity of heaven and man, that is, to comprehend the way of a hundred schools with their own way, and those who can do this are rare.

Now in the entire Confucianism, I am afraid that only Xunzi has reached this realm, and has comprehended some of the principles of Legalism with the core Confucianism, otherwise how could Xunzi teach two Legalists.

As for the final 'Xuande', 'the beast of life, born without being, for the sake of not being ashamed, long without slaughtering', this is a bit too mysterious, anyway, in the opinion of Huan Wei, no one in this world should be able to reach this realm for the time being.

And now Huan Wei, his realm is only to wash his heart, and he is 'enlightening'.

For the other Hundred Family disciples, this was the simplest realm, but for Huan Wei, it was the most difficult.

Because what Huan Wei has learned is not exactly the same as the Confucianism, Taoism, and Dharma of this era.

These ancients in the pre-Qin era were quite simple in this regard, identifying a concept and desperately practicing it, and there were predecessors who planted trees, and this realm of nature was easy to achieve.

And in this period when Confucianism has not been improved, has not absorbed the ideas of Legalism, and the art of Huang Lao has not been practiced by dynasties, Huan Wei's 'Tao' is too new.

So for Weiwei, this realm is the most difficult.

However, Huan did not believe that as long as he could meet with Brother Wang and tell him his philosophy of governing the country, then he would be able to understand his own way, practice this way, and thus 'realize the way'.

After that, the 'Gate of Heaven' needs to be accumulated in practice and turned his ideas into reality.

In the later 'unity', this principle of universal law and universal law was the most difficult realm for these 'simple' people in the pre-Qin dynasty, and most people could not reach it in their entire lives.

Because Confucianism will never recognize Moism, and legalists like Han Fei are extremely rejecting Confucianism.

But for a modern person, this realm is the simplest, as long as he reaches the 'Gate of Heaven', he will directly cross this realm and become one with heaven and man.

Because his path was directed against this path from the beginning.

Especially in this era, if they hide their knowledge too tightly and cherish it one by one, it is almost impossible to cultivate the unity of heaven and man.

As a modern person, if conditions permit, he wants everyone to be like a dragon!

This is what distinguishes him from most people of this era, that is, the size of the pattern exceeds the limitations of the times!

"The amount of internal strength in this world can only determine whether the battle can be sustained or not, but the real strength lies in the comprehension of the realm."

"This is not martial arts at all, but a bit mysterious!"

"It is impossible for me to take a shortcut to martial arts, but the future can be expected, pointing directly to the Avenue of Heaven and Man."

"Hundreds of families, hundreds of families, why do I have to learn a certain family? Can't I be one of the sons, for the sake of the family? "

He is not in a mood and is infinitely optimistic about his future.

But soon his face collapsed again, these are future things after all, now we still have to solve the real problem first, how can I avoid the assassination of the salamander?

Huan did not know that since Xuan Yi handed him the information, it proved that the arrival of the salamander was not far away.
