Siheyuan: Me! He Yuzhu defies fate and changes destiny

No one else said it was feudal superstition, but it was our own people who said so, which shows their intentions. ” The old man nodded in agreement.

"You're right, why didn't I think of this? Alas, I'm old, and my brain is not as good as that of young people!" He Yuzhu didn't know that his words inadvertently led another matter in a new direction.

As time went by, He Yuzhu's fishing skills improved. By the evening, he had caught more than ten fish. He returned home with a satisfied look on his face.

The next day, He Yuzhu went to the fishing spot again. Just as he was concentrating on fishing, the old man he met yesterday appeared again and looked at the results in He Yuzhu's bucket.

"Young man, you did well today, didn't you?" The old man said to He Yuzhu with a smile. He Yuzhu smiled and replied, "Didn't I tell you? How can a fish take the bait if it doesn't want to?"

The old man then asked: "Young man, what do you think are the feudal remnants in our country?" He Yuzhu answered seriously:

"How to define feudalism and dregs? There should be certain standards. Some people think that religious worship is a manifestation of feudalism, while others think that classical Chinese is too old-fashioned. In fact, there are many different opinions on this issue. Whether it is the belief in gods and ghosts or the form of ancient articles, these are the products of historical and cultural evolution. The reason why ancient characters are so refined is partly because there was a lack of paper materials in the early days. In order to record more content,

People have to make the text more concise and show the author's thoughts and depth in the process. This is the origin of the concept of "literature carries the message". Originally, these are highly summarized valuable knowledge, how can they be called dross? For example, the "Thirty-Six Stratagems" and "The Art of War" in the art of war, whether they are used in actual battlefield applications or in resolving conflicts in daily life,

They are all regarded as classic guides by many people, and obviously they cannot be easily defined as "dross."

Hearing this, the old man shook his head to show his agreement: "Of course not." He Yuzhu continued:

"That's it. There is no so-called unchangeable standard to distinguish what is right and what is wrong, especially when it comes to sayings about gods and ghosts. These are religious beliefs in a specific cultural context, just like there are various different religious systems such as ** and **ism in other countries and regions.

Even in a society with a relatively developed economy and culture, there is no rule that there are unique spiritual beliefs. Why can foreign monks preach the Dharma, but our Taoism and Buddhism must be superstition?

Furthermore, personal religious beliefs are not the same as superstition. From a broader perspective, people all over the world have their own objects or ways of belief. In our country, folk beliefs are mainly focused on historical figures with positive values.

Just think about it, the God of Wealth like Zhao Gongming originated from the Xia and Shang dynasties; the God of Guarding the Gates appeared in the Qin Dynasty; and there was also the ghost-catching hero Zhong Kui and the impartial Bao Zheng - these images were highly respected in the Song Dynasty...

Why do people worship them as gods? Because they represent integrity, justice, courage and other good qualities that are loved and respected by the people. It is because of these qualities that people believe that they can protect everyone spiritually and bring luck and peace.

Therefore, setting up offerings is also a kind of self-motivational psychological comfort mechanism. After all, the pressure of life is heavy enough. Without this kind of inner support and encouragement,

People may gradually lose their bright mindset. After listening to He Yuzhu's words, the old man fell into deep thought. He Yuzhu continued to add:

"In fact, as long as your actions are truly beneficial to the people, you may eventually be revered as a sacred figure by the people.

For example, Yue Fei, the hero who fought against the Jin army, was deified by the people as a god who protected the country and the people after his death. Can we deny Yue Fei's divine value and his symbolic significance as a national spirit? Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others are also real historical figures, but now they have become objects of worship, right?

Therefore, whether it is a man or a woman, as long as they sincerely benefit the people of a place, they may be worshipped as a patron saint or a god of protection after their death. So how can we simply classify such culture and values ​​as "dross"? "

Those are the heroes of our nation and the heroes of that period. Therefore, these stories do not contain bad content. If they are guided correctly, they can inspire people to be good. Maybe it seems that there is no reward for giving to others now, but after death, they may become gods, which gives hope to those who are willing to help others.

If these cultural traditions are regarded as outdated relics, then people will only have self-interest in their hearts. Even if someone else dies, no one will be willing to take a look, after all, it will not do them any good. Everyone will take care of their own business and not pay attention to the lives of others.

If Yue Fei was not devoted to the country and loyal, but only cared about himself, how could he become a god revered by the world after his death?

Impossible!

If Yue Fei had turned against the corrupt Song Dynasty, he would have likely become a founder of the country for the sake of the nation, rather than a god revered by the people. This is because there are only a few examples of deification in the founding dynasties, such as King Zhou of Shang as a star, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang as a pear garden god, Fu Jian as the patron saint of the Fu family, and Zhu Youjian as Zhutian Bodhisattva.

Therefore, whether they are called gods or regarded as ghosts of the dead, the creation of these images not only has its historical background, but also reflects specific value orientations.

For ordinary people, it may be difficult for them to understand the profound meaning behind it. The key lies in how we interpret and spread it.

He Yuzhu said: "Some of these gods were formed largely due to the advocacy of contemporary intellectuals and the influence of public opinion. But isn't this a good thing? All the negative things have been purified, leaving only positive energy and promoting virtues. On the other hand, which of the gods in Western European countries has the correct values? The gods in ancient Greek mythology worship power and involve complex ethical issues. Can such people be widely accepted in China?

Obviously not, the gods in people's hearts must have noble qualities. For example, ** can be obtained here [too much sensitive content, cannot continue to output]

Seeing that He Yuzhu had been out all day and brought back a lot of fish, Chen Xueru said helplessly, "My dear, we haven't finished yesterday's fish yet, and there are so many today!"

He Yuzhu smiled and replied:

"Okay, I won't go tomorrow. Let's go out after we finish eating!"

At this time, the two children ran over excitedly: "Dad!"

He Hua naturally threw herself into He Yuzhu's arms, and He Yuzhu picked her up and asked:

"Is He Hua obedient in school?" He Hua nodded happily.

"Of course I listened, He Hua is very obedient!" Then he asked again,

"Have you mastered everything you learned?" He Hua nodded confidently.

"I understand everything. I understand all the contents. Many of my friends envy me and my brother!" He picked up He Xiao and asked him:

"So you know it too?" He Xiao nodded:

"meeting!"

He Huachong and He Xiao said:

"My brother is much better than me!"

He Xiao looked at He Hua silently without saying anything. He Yuzhu said:

"Okay, Dad caught a lot of fish today, how about we cook them later?" He Hua clapped her hands excitedly:

"Yes, yes, the fish Dad made yesterday was really delicious. I want to eat it again!"

He Xiao also looked at He Yuzhu expectantly. He Yuzhu smiled and said, "That's it, Dad will go cook the fish now."

After saying that, he let go of the two children and walked towards the kitchen with the fish...

After dinner, everyone rubbed their satisfied tummies, and Chen Xueru exclaimed: "What a rare good cooking skill, let's go out and fish again in a few days!"

He Yuzhu nodded.

"Okay, but we have to dig an ice hole in a few days. The weather is very cold these days." Chen Xueru responded.

"Since it's frozen, forget it!" He Yuzhu comforted her and said:

"Don't worry, that place is nothing serious!"

Chen Xueru didn't say anything more after listening to He Yuzhu's words. Xiao Chengyu said, "Zhuzi, with this skill, you will never have to worry about food wherever you go!"

Sun Hao also echoed:

"That's right. Even in the most difficult days, we never lacked meat!" Nangong Yan added:

"If it weren't for the meat provided by the pillars, our cultivation level would never have reached the heights it is today!"

Over the past few years, although He Yuzhu didn't say much, he knew that the medicinal food he cooked was crucial to their cultivation speed. Without those medicinal foods,

It is impossible for their level of cultivation to improve so quickly!

In this regard, He Yuzhu said frankly:

"Actually, this is also for my own good. If you hadn't protected my family for so many years, who knows what would have happened.

With your protection, I can concentrate on studying my medicinal food technology."

The three close friends all knew that not only did they publicly defend He Yuzhu, but there were also people who silently protected He Yuzhu's family in private.

Speaking of He Yuzhu himself, he is really too strong. His martial arts skills have now reached an invincible level.

To keep spiritual power alive, one must continuously train the mind, and in He Yuzhu's spiritual space, this growth happens quietly every night.

He didn't need to practice consciously. Now, Chinese martial arts had been deeply imprinted in his bones.

Whether sitting, lying down or moving, the essence and mystery of traditional Chinese martial arts are revealed.

Therefore, He Yuzhu's mental strength continued to grow every day, even though he still needed to accumulate hundreds of millions of experience points to advance from level nine to level ten.

He also knew that such a huge amount of experience would take at least forty to fifty years to acquire.

However, He Yuzhu is convinced that this goal will be achieved sooner or later.

With his current level of cultivation, even if nothing unexpected happens, it would be more than enough for him to survive for a thousand years.

It is common sense that once one reaches the realm of possessing the golden elixir, one’s life span can reach two hundred years.
