Chapter 208

"Taoist, Confucianism, and Mohism are actually talking about a truth, but the order of what they say is different, and the result makes people think that what they say is different. You see, Confucianism began to say from the rise of the earth, and finally to the extreme of heaven, it became such a saying. Then knowledge, righteousness and then sincerity, self-cultivation and then family unity, governing the country and then peace the world. The object is the earth, knowledge is gold, the heart is water, sincerity is wood, self-cultivation is earth, the family is fire, governing the country is the wind, the world is the sky, step by step with the rise of Yang Qi. Confucianism teaches people to learn upwards, which is the reason. As for not complaining about the sky, we also want us to take every step steadily, don't act recklessly, and break the rules of heaven. If you cultivate yourself according to such heavenly principles, you can become saints from ordinary people. The magic way is different. He teaches people to let go of everything, break free from the shackles, return to nature, point directly to the heart, kill life with the power, and kill himself to prove the Tao. At the beginning, from the chaotic world, return to the wind and flow freely, then return to the enthusiasm of fire, then return to the solidity of earth, then return to the nature of wood, then return to the casualness of water, then return to the purity of gold, and finally return to the embrace of dark death, unite with loneliness, get great liberation, great joy and great purity. Confucianism is the opposite of magic. The former follows the rise of yang qi, while the latter follows the law of yin qi decline. In fact, it is a system, which is said to be two theories. It is not that the predecessors are wrong, but that the descendants have made it complicated. In this way, the truth falls, and the world is in chaos. The more you talk about it, the more angry you are.

Chang Ye listened with relish and asked, "How is Taoism different from Confucianism and Taoism?"

"Relatively speaking, Taoism is a bridge between the two companies that merge and connect Confucianism and demons. Taoists say nothing first, and then do nothing. At the beginning, it declines with the yin qi and has a clear mind. Frustrate its sharpness, solve its differences, and its light, and its dust. Constantly peel off Yangqi and miscellaneous thoughts, and finally reach the situation of incompetence. Of course, according to your understanding, you are lazy, and you don't have to do anything. This is also the eternal desire in the first chapter of the Tao Te Ching. Later, after knowing the origin, he can naturally deduce his various other forms, self-cultivation and governing the country. The expression in the first chapter is that there is always a desire to know its nature and explore the ultimate development naturally. It is also to realize the extreme of yang - the way of heaven. Ba Yougua explained.

According to this statement, Taoism is really a bridge between Confucianism and Taoism, as long as the yin retreats first, and then the yang advances.

Finally, he still didn't understand a little and asked, "Does the Taoist keep repeating the process of yin and yang cycle in the end?"

Ba Yougua said with a smile and said, "Of course not. Although the first chapter says that there is desire and no desire, it is the same mystery, the mystery is mysterious, and the door of all wonders. But in the later summary, he said: know his mother, know his son, know his son, and guard his mother. Plug it, close it, don't work hard for life, open it, use it, and don't save it for life. It means that in the end, we should stick to the mother of origin and not be diligent for the rest of your life. The use is to live for a long time and die.

"Lifelong incompetence? Is that laziness?" Jiang Ye suddenly said, "So you still have to be a lazy person!"

Ba Yougua shook his head slightly and said, "Your logic is really strange."

The so-called strange logic is probably the thinking mode of the lazy person in the night!

"According to your gossip logic, everything in the world can be expressed in gossip?" Jiang Ye asked.

Ba's mouth was dry. He drank a large glass of juice and said, "Of course, the things in the world are very simple, and they can be clearly expressed with a few symbols. In a system, their hexagrams are positioned according to a certain standard according to the different degrees of their progress or yin.

He stopped the night and asked, "What does this mean?"

"It means that people and things can locate the form of gossip in the gossip in their environment. For example, you, Xiaoyeye, the hexagram you are in is the sky, lively but pure. Eight hexagrams said.

He muttered in the heart of the night, does his current hexagram belong to the heavenly hexagram? However, this is also normal. Isn't your surname Tian?

"Old man, what do you mean by the sixty-four hexagrams mentioned in Yizhong this week?" Jiang Ye continued to ask questions.

"The world is not static, but dynamic, so if you want to observe the development of things in the system, one point is not enough. Two points are needed. Therefore, it is inevitable that the eight trigrams combine to form sixty-four hexagrams. Among these sixty-four hexagrams, there are two hexagrams. In contrast, two different points can be referred to in different systems. For example, when predicting things, you can take the next hexagram as the past, the upper hexagram as the future, and the present between the past and the middle, so that it can fully represent the derivative process of this thing. Sixty-four hexagrams, each hexagram has six lines, and each line has a line, which can be understood as the law of the development of things summarized by the ancients. You can believe these laws, but you can't believe them all. Many things have changed now and in the past, so you can't follow the rules. Therefore, it is useless to study those words. It is more useful to understand hexagrams and deduce changes. Bayou gossiped and talked about it, and it was all right.

Jing Ye didn't care and said, "So, gossip is very useful?"

Bayou Gua originally wanted to say that it was of course very useful, but when he thought of his own opportunity, he couldn't help saying, "It's useless. It's just used to brag, fart, and scare children."

He sprinkled the night, patted his buttocks and said, "Forum, I'm not scared by you. I still like my lazy way. I'm lazy and happy, I'm lazy and happy."

Looking at the appearance of the general night, it's really a little cute and happy. Bayou Gua feels simple and good. He also wants to be simple now, but when he is old, he has been complicated for ten thousand years. If he wants to make it simple suddenly, it's like a hot peeling and suddenly meets cold water, which is very tormenting. When you are still young, it is good to understand what you should understand, and that is true happiness.

However, it's not too late to mend. Ba Yougua simply thought, returned to the heart of the old urchin and said, "I will use the way of gossip to explain to you the thirty-six tactics in the way of war, so as to save Yun Wuxin's fart. The eye-eyed guy always burys me"

The night is naturally a joy. Raise your hands and feet in agreement.

"Before talking about the thirty-six tactics, let me tell you about the differences between tactics and tactics." Yun Wuxin said and interrupted the night again.

"Mr. Yun Wuxin has taught me the way to make peace and fight undefeated. That should be a kind of tactics, right?

Eight gossips seemed a little surprised and said, "Xiao Yunyun even taught you this? It seems that he really regards you as a disciple of the manor. It's not bad. The unbeaten method is indeed one of the twenty-eight tactics. Tactics is a kind of small-scale, short-term, war command art and wisdom in specific battles. The tactic is a large-scale, long-term and guiding strategic principle. Tactics are actually based on tactics. If you only study tactics but do not have the foundation of tactics, such a king will never become a great weapon. However, we only talk about strategy and ignore the cultivation of combat quality of tactical details. Although the king may become an artifact after all, it is difficult to enter the temple. This kind of thing is quite similar to the characteristics of our heavenly philosophy and philosophy. The philosophy focuses on details and gradually cultivates, and the philosophy focuses on the epiphany. In this way, science is close to law, and mind is close to Tao, that's all. In fact, the two can complement each other, and there is no need to fight with each other.

As the owner of Tianli City, Bayou Gua can say such words, which is worthy of the demeanor of a generation of great Confucianism.

"If the tactics are expressed in the form of gossip, then the gossip represents the eight forms in the battle. The sky represents the general trend of the army, and the morale is like a rainbow. The earth represents the movement of the army, and the magic machine is hidden. The wind represents the elegant and flexible of the army, and the ghosts and gods are unpredictable. Lei represents the army to keep a low profile and hide murder. The water represents that the army conforms to the times, and its weakness is not obvious. Fire represents a fierce master, elite and fierce. The mountain represents that the army is as stable as a mountain. Ze represents that the army is peaceful and watertight. And the eight trigrams get sixty-four hexagrams. The next hexagram represents our army, and the upper hexagram represents the enemy. Thirty-six battle plans are the transformation of thirty-six systems. Ba Yougua continued to say that he was obviously not going to hide or procrastinate.

Jing Ye is also a good student. He listened carefully. He asked, "Why not sixty-four tricks, but thirty-six tricks?"

There was a look of approval in Bayou Gua's eyes and said, "Well, this question is a good question. The so-called plan is to use our strengths to restrain the other party's shortcomings and use our advantages to stimulate the other party's crisis. In some cases, the calculation is useless. For example, if the enemy is the sky, and it is the kind of sky that has become a general trend, then in the face of absolute strength, the calculation is useless, so there will be a last plan, because it has involved the strategic level, and the tactics are irreparable. There are also the same type of relative hexagrams. Heaven against the sky, fire against fire can only fight for strength at this time. The plot is useless, and you will not be fooled if you use the other party. Many more classic strategies are generated on the relative hexagrams of yin and yang, and there is room for commanoeuvre. In this way, there are only about thirty-six calculations.

Thinking about it, I understand that if the hexagram involves something at the strategic level, it has nothing to do with tactics.

However, according to Ba'u Gua, the night asked, "You think you use your own strengths to restrain the other party's shortcomings. What are the shortcomings of the army's eight situations?"

"This question is a good question. It seems that it's too easy to talk to smart people. I like it." Eight hexagrams praised, "In my opinion, although the sky is powerful, it is easy to be conceited and deceived if it is too arrogant. Although the ground is moving smoothly, it is easy to enter the inertial trap. Although the wind is elegant and flexible, it is easy to show short-term weakness when it is too flexible. Although Lei is good at keeping a low profile, if he overdoes his low profile, he will be suspicious and make mistakes. Although the water conforms to the times, it is easy to be led by the nose if it is too much. The fire was fierce, but it just crossed its head and fell into a trap. Although the mountain is as motionless as a mountain, if it is not moving, it will lead to poor maneuvering, slow response, and getting yourself into a dilemma. Although Ze is peaceful, if he is too soft, it will be easy to be taken advantage of. Eight hexagrams concluded.

Write down the dark of the night. The world is balanced. The way of heaven is more than enough to make up for the shortcomings. What kind of advantages will inevitably lead to what kind of disadvantages? These things are difficult to do both.
