[1] "Inscription on the West Forest Wall" by Su Shi. Poem
Viewed horizontally as a ridge and side as a peak,
The heights of distance and near are different;
I don't know the true face of Mount Lu,
Just because I am in this mountain.
Qingwan asked: "In this case, why do you build temples for Guan Yu to commemorate [1]?"
Yougan said: "Because we Han people like to use ancient celebrities and deeds to describe our aspirations. Before expressing our aspirations, we should first wash away all the bad habits of the old man and make him a perfect god that is unattainable by humans. So we say , As long as you are a human being, there are problems, unless you are a god. In fact, it is not an exaggeration for men to be lustful, as long as you women do not run into 'hypocrites'."
"What's a hypocrite? Someone like you?"
"What kind of hypocrite am I, I am a real villain."
Qing Wan giggled, "Do you know that 'little man' is not a good word!?"
"I know." Youqian explained, "A villain like me can take precautions. Because you know that I am a villain, you can prevent bad things from happening, have a sense of defense, and be prepared. So it won't hurt you. But a hypocrite is different, because you don't know he is a hypocrite, and to become a hypocrite, he needs a fairly high emotional intelligence, so the degree of harm is even greater. Therefore, a hypocrite is really terrible man."
"No matter how you say it, you didn't call yourself a villain!"
"This shows that I am a real person!"
"reality?"
"Actually, everyone wants to be the 'best version of themselves', so they keep hiding their shortcomings and deficiencies, living as the shadow of others, which is very tiring. I am not, what I am, Whatever it is, never hide it. If you like me, go out with me, if you don't like me, stay away from me In fact, women, especially beautiful women, should live a real life."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because the beauty of a woman is fluid and changeable. Being beautiful is an advantage, but living beautifully is an admirable ability. For example, Liang Hongyu in the previous dynasty, as a prostitute, was able to become a leader in the fight against the Jin Dynasty. The heroine who has achieved a career that even men can't achieve, isn't she living a glorious life!
No matter how beautiful the face is, it will be like the fleeting shooting star in the sky, whose brilliance cannot last long. Only by living out a kind of spirit, refining a kind of taste, and blooming a bright and dazzling splendor, can a woman refine a kind of extraordinary beauty, condense eternity, lean on the green grass and lean on the water side, the peerless beauty of fluttering clothes elegance. "
"Okay, tomorrow I will worship Ji Xu as my teacher and learn martial arts. One day, I will also go to the battlefield to fight." Qing Wan said with a smile, "However, Mr. Ji has a rule for accepting apprentices."
"What rules?"
"He said, 'If you want to learn well, sleep with the master first'?" After that, he laughed again.
"Who asked you to learn martial arts with him?" Yougan also laughed, "I have said so much, but I just want to tell you a truth."
"you say."
"People live to the extreme, nothing more than 'two words' - true!"
"True." Qing Wan repeated.
"You said, you have lost yourself, how you live, isn't it all a pity, and you are not what you want?"
"Just like uncles and aunts who hate you for being 'out of tune', is it your true self?"
"do you hate me?"
"It's a little bit, but it's not very annoying anyway."
"You are 'real', because you dare to tell the truth in front of me." You Gan smiled, "You young people are with me, and you don't feel restrained at all. What do you see, what do you think, say Whatever you do, it¡¯s all about feeling, don¡¯t influence yourself because of other people¡¯s thoughts; let those who are with you get along comfortably and don¡¯t torture each other. You can be yourself as you like, don¡¯t hide anything, and don¡¯t care about other people¡¯s eyes , your own business, just be happy This is all true."
"Am I real?"
"You, you are real only when you are with me. You are too tired to live on weekdays, but in fact, you are tired of heart."
"Am I tired?"
"Aren't you tired? How much have you paid for your brother, for your parents, and even for your beloved? When have you ever had yourself in your heart? Qingwan, live for yourself once!"
"I thought, I'm living a good life now."
"Are you happy?"
"Happy!"
"You are confused."
"You are confused!"
&nbs?? was accepted and believed by the people.
The third echelon, due to factors such as not enough legendary deeds, a more suitable "selection of gods" for similar worship, or a weak demand for god-making in the industry, has made them fail to become gods so far. When mentioning them, people still think of the ancient man. Although there have been moves to make him a myth in the past dynasties, he is still only dubbed the title of "sage" and other heroes. Such as: Sun Wu, the soldier saint; Wu Qi, the army god; Bai Qi, Temujin, the left and right killing god; Du Fu, the poet saint; Zhang Xu, the grass saint; Wu Daozi, the painter saint; Sima Qian, the history saint; Zhang Zhongjing, the medicine saint; Zhang Heng, the sage of science; Sun Simiao, the sage of medicine; Lu Yu, the sage of tea; Dukang, the sage of wine; Stories and writings have been used to create a "golden body" for him, such as Sun Simiao's healing of the dragon, Zhuge Liang's borrowing the east wind, etc. However, due to various reasons such as lack of motivation to create gods and incomplete mythology system, most people still classify him as a historical celebrity.
After all, what is a myth? In fact, it is the collective creation of people of all ages, expressing people's understanding and imagination of natural phenomena, social phenomena and ideal pursuits, and entrusting the Chinese people's yearning for a better life. Rather than saying that Chinese people have no faith, it is better to say that we worship our ancestors and believe in people but not in gods. To foreigners, man is created by God, but to us, God is man-made. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
