The daily life of the Analects and Tao Te Ching

April 6

sunny

The neighbor is finally going to pick up their dog today!

Although he said he would come back in the afternoon, I packed up all the things for the dog early in the morning and put them in the living room, waiting for the neighbor to pick him up.

That dog really wanted to know that he was going back, but unexpectedly, he was extraordinarily cuddly and clingy.

Kong Lun said that this dog is affectionate and righteous, but I think it just doesn't want to part with the life of three meals a day of canned meat.

"If I were a dog, I wouldn't want to part with such a good life." Kong Lun said with a smile, "I don't have to suffer from hunger, and I don't have to be displaced. How nice it is."

As soon as I heard this, I knew he was in love again.

Perhaps because "The Analects of Confucius" is in the form of quotations, Kong Lun has a particularly deep affection for Confucius, and even faintly can't tell each other.

Confucius was once said to be "tired like a bereaved dog", and he had a feeling that he was also described in this way.

But "The Analects" and Confucius are different after all.

From a certain point of view, Confucius never realized his ambition in his life, but he has been regarded as a classic since he was born.

"Speaking of which, it seems that you rarely hear about Lao Tzu." Kong Lun said, "What kind of person is he?"

"Should be a very deep person." I said.

Laozi is different from Confucius, and there is no specific story handed down.

In my impression, I only vaguely remember the existence of such a person.

But if you ask me to describe it in detail, I really can't say anything.

Of course, I was also curious about this matter when I was a child, but because I was born too early, there are few book spirits that existed before me and have not been lost.

Lao Yi once told me swearingly that the author of "Tao Te Ching" is the No.18 incarnation of Taishang Laojun, and because he wrote "Tao Te Ching", he is also called Dao De Tian Zun.

There is no way to verify whether these words are true or false, but after a long time, everyone has acquiesced to this statement.

"No wonder people always say you are a 'book from heaven'." Kong Lun laughed.

What he said was a pun, one was to make fun of my background, and the other was to say that I was not easy to understand.

In fact, the words in the "Tao Te Ching" seem to me to be very simple and easy to understand. I have never been able to figure out where everyone is stuck.

"Maybe it's because it's so easy to understand, but it's not easy for everyone to understand." Kong Lun thoughtfully.

Closer to home, the neighbor went to Macau this time. In order to thank us for helping him take care of the dog these days, he gave us a lot of exquisitely packaged specialty snacks.

For some reason, a sentence from "The Analects of Confucius" suddenly appeared in my mind: "Is it such a pleasure to have friends coming from afar?"

Although I don't like being disturbed by others, if everyone who visits is as good as the neighbors, I don't mind doing a little favor now and then.

"Let's not talk about anything else, this bag is really pretty." Kong Lun said.

The outline of a building is printed on the bag. Although I haven't seen it before, I guess it is probably a landmark building in Macau.

I took out my mobile phone and searched for the location of Macau, and suddenly found that it was thousands of miles away from us.

In just three days, the neighbor went back and forth between the two places!

How did he do that?Could it be that he can soar through the clouds and ride the fog like the gods in myths and legends?

"He seems to be flying around in the air these days." Kong Lun said, "He posted his location in Macau in Moments this morning, and he appeared at the door of his house in the afternoon..."

"How did he do it?" I was very curious about this.

It is said that people can obtain supernatural powers through cultivation, but as the book spirit of "Tao Te Ching", I have seen countless people devote themselves to it, but few can really do it.

Although the neighbor looks ugly, but people should not be judged by appearances. Maybe he is the legendary man with supernatural powers?

After hearing what I said, Kong Lun couldn't help laughing out loud.

"You said it all. I haven't seen a few successful ones in the past thousand years. How could the neighbor be one of them?" He laughed.

How is it impossible?

Some time ago, I watched martial arts movies on TV, and in the end it was often the ordinary people who really stood out from the crowd.

"But this time he went with the people in the company, can't everyone have supernatural powers?" Kong Lun shook his head.

This is not right, that is not right, he gave me a reasonable explanation!

Kong Lun took out his phone and poked it, then showed me a picture.

On the picture is a strange-shaped thing, which looks a bit like a bird, but it is much bigger.

"What is this?" I asked.

Kong Lun said neighbors told him the trip was by plane, and that the odd-looking thing was the plane.

Such a stupid thing can fly in the sky?

I just couldn't believe my eyes.

To be honest, I think it’s a miracle that this thing can float by itself even if it doesn’t contain anything, but according to Kong Lun, it can not only carry people, but also transport luggage and goods.

How on earth did this thing fly? !

Kong Lun couldn't explain it, so I threw the question to the mobile assistant.

It gave me an answer quickly, but I couldn't understand its explanation at all.

Pressure difference?The principle of air flow?

For some reason, I suddenly had a feeling that I was abandoned by the times.

You can clearly understand every word, why don't you understand the meaning?

Kong Lun comforted me by saying that it doesn't matter if you don't know the principle, as long as you know what the plane is used for.

But what if someone asks?

If I can't answer, will they think "Tao Te Ching" is a garbage book?

"No one will discuss the flight principle of the plane when chatting, right?" Kong Lun laughed.

He thinks I'm a little too anxious, and the best way to deal with that anxiety is to talk to people more.

"You can choose not to get in touch with people, but you can't let yourself lose the ability to integrate into society." He said solemnly, "After all, only talents are the inexhaustible driving force for the spread of classics. If they cannot be accepted by the times, no matter how brilliant they were once , and are easily lost.”

This is not true.

At that time, there were not a few classics in the same period as ours, but very few of them were actually handed down.

From a certain point of view, Kong Lun and I can be regarded as the lucky ones.

"What do you think I should do?" I asked.

Kong Lun thought about it, and said that this matter should be done step by step, and it is best to start by understanding the way of thinking of modern people.

"I think the Weibo that the little girl mentioned yesterday is a good choice," he said.

Everyone on Weibo has an equal right to speak, and you can learn what different people think about the same thing.

To be honest, after listening to his description, I was a little moved.

But how do things like Weibo operate?

Kong Lun said that he didn't know too well, but when he was working part-time, he found that everyone was "eating melons" on Weibo, so he begged his colleagues to download one on his mobile phone for him.

"At that time, I didn't know enough about this era. When I read Weibo, I just felt confused and didn't know what they were talking about." Kong Lun said, "But we have been here for a while, and now Looking at the content inside, there shouldn’t be any problems in understanding, right?”

There may be no problems with him, but I don't have to.

But even so, I still asked him to download a Weibo for me.

Husbands are not profitable, so they can cover up new successes.

It is not terrible to have things beyond cognition, after all, the so-called "development" is a process of constantly weeding out the old and bringing forth the new.

The speed of the newly installed Internet at home is very fast, and it didn't take long for Weibo to be downloaded.

"By the way, do you want to post something?" Kong Lun asked suddenly.

"Huh?" I didn't quite understand what he meant.

He paused and explained: "The colleague who worked together before said that if you can share some daily life on Weibo, it will be easier to make friends..."

"But I don't lack friends." I said, "Don't I already have you?"

I am very picky about my friends!

But having said that, I'm really curious about what other people are posting on Weibo.

Perhaps it is because people who understand Weibo for the first time will be so curious. When I registered an account, it took the initiative to recommend some content to me, and I followed it.

Open it up and take a look, you can see all kinds of content that you post on weekdays, some girls will teach you how to dress yourself on Weibo, and some people will post some funny stories that make people laugh...

I feel as if the door to a new world has been opened, and I can't get tired of watching it.

At this time, I suddenly discovered that a person reposted the Weibo about the "God of Coin Pusher".

Is this talking about me?

Out of curiosity, I clicked on the original Weibo and took a look. The comments in it made me laugh so hard that I couldn't help myself.

These people are so funny!

They actually used the game coins I launched as amulets, and found out all kinds of magical usages.

Some people said that they took the blessed game currency to take the exam, and they were only [-]% sure of passing it, but after seeing the paper, they found that it was all the content they had reviewed, and only a little bit of what they hadn’t reviewed.

"Don't retweet koi! Retweet this game currency! It will definitely make your wish come true!"

I originally thought he was a special case, but I didn't expect that many people responded to him in the comments below.

"This game currency really has magical powers! I went to the supermarket to buy water with it, and it was the first time in my life that I won another bottle! This game currency has been blessed by the god of luck!"

"You may not believe me when I say it. The second day after I got the game currency, the stocks that have been green for more than half a year are red."

"Purchase Lucky Game Coins at a high price. If you are interested, please contact us by private message."

"I don't have game currency, but the plan to repost the picture of game currency QUQ and change the N draft is finally over!!!!"

The more I look at it, the more incredible it becomes. I feel that things that are out of reach can be connected with lucky game coins.

"I suddenly regretted giving away all the game coins back then. Let's keep a few for ourselves." I said, "All wishes come true..."

Kong Lun smiled and took out a game coin from his pocket.

"Actually, I took one while you weren't looking," he said.

I asked him if his wish came true, but he refused to tell me anything.

"It won't work if you say it." He laughed, "But judging from the current situation, it seems to have some effect."

The author has something to say: Today is another day for comments (*/ω＼*) Whatever you say is fine, just talk to me...
