Life Winner Training Guide

His name is Dai Chang.

The Guangling Dai family is estimated to be at the bottom of the family, firstly because the family history is too short, and secondly because there are not many people in the family tree that can be handed out.

Dai Chang served as the prefect of Kuaiji, but not for a long time.It's not that he is not capable enough, but that this person's heart is not above the officialdom, and Chen Kan made friends with him when he was young and became a good friend.

"He has a very weird temper," Chen Kan said, but added in a sour tone, "He has a good life and raised a good son."

Although Chen Kan's own sons have already become officials and are quite famous, he doesn't like them. Instead, he is jealous of his friend's son. It can be seen that Dai Chang's son may be really good.

The real hermits these days either live on top of famous mountains or beside Xiushui. Anyway, it is impossible for them to live in the outskirts of Luoyang like Guo Yuanchang, which is really out of style.

It is said to be a hermit, but the place where Dai Chang lives is built against the mountains. The manor is not as exquisite as the later generations, mostly green bricks, wood and stones, but the bamboo forest in the garden is shady, and it is connected with the wild bamboos in Shugang behind. the wind.

"Old friend and monk Zhimiao of Zhuxi Temple in Shugang are close friends, so after settling here, he never moved his nest again." Chen Kan said: "Bringing you here today is to gain insight. Don't think that all famous people are Like your idiot father."

You Hongyin didn't speak. Although he agreed with Chen Kanzhi's words, it didn't mean he could judge his biological father.

When the master and apprentice entered the door, only the servant came over to greet him, and he didn't ask any more questions. Obviously Chen Kan and Dai Chang were very familiar, and it was already commonplace to visit here.

"No, no, old monk, you regret chess again." Before seeing anyone, You Hong heard someone's voice, obviously this person is full of energy, his voice is loud, even if he is a little older, he is in good health.

"Benefactor, you have misremembered." Another deep and gentle voice replied.

Chen Kan said impatiently: "As for Dai Hongyi's level of chess skills, who would regret chess with you? I said monk Zhimiao, this person is a stinky chess basket, and you are still coaxing him every day. You really have the patience to read scriptures and read the scriptures." gone."

Walking into the main hall, the charcoal fire was burning, and the two were sitting under the sunny window playing Go.Entertainment items in this era are limited, and the most literati are music, chess, calligraphy and painting, plus enjoying singing and dancing, drinking a little wine, and the like.

The old man, whose combined age was over a hundred, wanted to have some fun, so the only thing he could do was play chess.

"Chen Liangfu, watch the chess without saying a word." Dai Chang did not lift his head, he thought hard for a long time, and Fang dropped another piece.

You Hongyin glanced at the side twice, and it could be seen that Dai Chang, who was in charge of the black, had actually lost, but was still dying.

The monk sitting opposite Dai Chang had gray hair and beard, but his cheeks were smooth and his complexion was very good. His eyes were like ancient wells, with a hint of tenderness and compassion.

This is the wise and eminent monk.

It has not been a long time since Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains and was accepted and sought after by the nobles. Even because of the current world morality, all eminent Buddhist monks are not only proficient in Buddhism, but also kind-hearted and good at talking.

These days, monks are not easy to mess with. If they don't know how to talk about those nobles, they will not accept Buddhist teachings.Monk Zhimiao and the Zhuxi Temple he built seem to be out of the world, but in fact he has a great influence in the Guangling area. The incense is very prosperous and there are many believers.

"I lost all of them, and you still refuse to make a move. Your skin is getting thicker." Chen Kan looked at the chess game and said.

In fact, Dai Chang himself knows it too, but is there always a struggle?

"I lost, I lost," Dai Chang disrupted the chess game, and said angrily, "It's really disappointing to have a noisy person like you whispering in my ear."

Zhimiao said: "Chen Gong came today, but brought the newly recruited disciple?"

"Disciple Guo Xi, I have met Dai Gong, master." You Hongyin stepped forward and said.

"Shenguang is introverted, Qi is like a deep pavilion, and the inner beauty is in the middle," Zhimiao praised: "Mr. Chen has taken in a good apprentice."

"Old monk, you are still boasting. Didn't you see that he came today to show off?" Dai Chang called the servant to write a pen and ink: "Come on, let me see your apprentice's handwriting, I have won you a little bit, let me let you know." You are so precious."

I hate Bu, and I hate Jun, and it's wonderful to think about it, which is beyond the reach of Chinese good calligraphers.

There were Zhang Zibin and Chen Liangfu who were able to calligraphy. Today, before the Wang family's children were born, You Hongyin almost forgot that his teacher is actually a master of calligraphy.

"It's been a short time since I entered Yuejin, so I didn't inherit my calligraphy mantle. Hongyi, why do you have to force others to make things difficult for you." Chen Kan said so, but he didn't organize Dai Chang's actions, because he knew that this disciple's calligraphy Self-contained, has long been strong, now it's just a lack of time to hone.

In fact, You Hongyin has been quite restrained on weekdays. His handwriting is mature, and he also has the willow body and face of later generations, which is too eye-catching. Therefore, he usually writes with his left hand, which is a little immature, but it is more suitable for his current age. age.

"The famous capital of Huaizuo, the best place in Zhuxi, ha, the place name of the old monk's ruined temple is exalting him." Dai Chang looked at his writing, and his heart moved: "Chen Liangfu, your disciple and your calligraphy seem to be completely different. Lu Zi. This character is dignified and majestic, with an imposing manner. The running script is vigorous and vigorous, even and thin, and there is a sense of arrogance in it. Good calligraphy, good calligraphy. If it takes time, it will definitely surpass you, the teacher."

Chen Kan felt that the purpose of showing off was achieved, so he sat aside and responded very reservedly. You Hongyin was also helpless to these old children.

The next few people walked directly up the mountain to visit the Zhuxi Temple of the Zhimiao monk. Along the way, two literati and a monk quoted the scriptures and expressed their opinions. In the ideological confrontation between the three parties, even You Hongyin has to admit that he has indeed experienced a very pure, pure, and detached ideological debate that put aside politics, secularity, and entangled interests.

"This party is a real celebrity." Chen Xiquan said after listening to the three people's confrontation: "Although there are many things I don't understand, I can tell which ones are covered with layers of hypocrisy by borrowing rote from the classics. Which ones are the cloaks of absorbing and digesting the thoughts of the predecessors, washing and improving one's own state of mind and thought cultivation, truly thinking about the philosophy of life, and seeking the truth of the world."

You Hongyin said: "Their theories and ideas may not be applicable in practice, or they may not be able to benefit the family and the country, but the foundation of any knowledge is born from the collision of these sparks of thought. The world needs someone to do it down to earth. As a matter of fact, someone needs to study the direction of philosophy from a very high level.”

Chen Xiquan said: "I understand what you mean. Although most people in the world are people who try to gain fame, real sages and celebrities are not such people."

You Hongyin sighed, "Just understand."

Chen Kan, You Hongyin and Dai Chang lived in Zhuxi Temple for a few days, during which time they talked about Luoyang being trapped, but Dai Chang didn't like to talk about political affairs. Yue Ming teaches nature, not Tang Wu but thin Zhou Confucius', but it is not the same Confucianism and Taoism as Zhengshi Metaphysics, which reconciles the contradiction between nature and famous teaching, but is more inclined to Lao Zhuang's inaction.

So what was discussed ended up being nothing.

This is probably the impact of the current war and chaos on the literati.

Originally, the mentality of scholars who were loyal to the country was very common and real. Emotionally, they "are one with the unified regime and have a sense of closeness". Planning for it, working hard for it, and worrying about it.

However, the revolution of the regime completely destroyed this emotion, and the gentry soon had differences. One was to actively manipulate the government and completely exclude the "unfavorable factors" from the rule, just like the power holders of today's aristocratic families.One, like Dai Chang, was completely disappointed with the government, and turned to pursue his own spiritual and ideological progress, leaving others alone.

After going down the mountain to return to Chen's mansion, Chen Kan asked, "Can I get anything from Yue?"

You Hongyin said: "Nothing."

Chen Kan was very surprised and couldn't help asking: "Why is it nothing?"

"The attitude of being passive and avoiding the world is not my attitude. The theory of reincarnation of the Shi family is not my request." You Hongyin said.

Chen Kandao: "Then what do you want?"

"It's over, troubled times." You Hongyin replied.

Chen Kan couldn't help laughing: "It seems that you are still deeply influenced by Confucianism. Everyone has the desire to end the troubled times, but not everyone is willing to do it. If it weren't for the huge power behind this matter, no one would care This is not a chaotic world.”

"For the gentry, heroes emerge in troubled times, and it is easier to play games with multiple parties to seek greater benefits. In the eyes of most clans, there are only various forces fighting, and there are no poor people at the bottom, let alone those who have been slaves for generations. Human life, In the eyes of them and even the teacher, they are nothing more than numbers consumed, young people on paper, and taxes squandered, but they are not ants, but the cornerstone of the world." You Hongyin said.

Chen Kan was stunned, and finally said: "You are not afraid of punishment, you speak so openly."

But in fact, Chen Kan has never put the poor in his eyes. Even the common people and poor families who are a little bit useful, in the eyes of Chen Kan who comes from a family, are only useful or useless, let alone the poor. .

The saying that water can carry a boat or capsize it is bullshit in the eyes of the aristocratic family.

No food, no weapons, no literacy, no understanding of the art of war, those poor people, how can they capsize the boat?

"Teacher also seems to be aware of where is the root of the war?" You Hongyin said: "The political chaos in the imperial court has made it difficult to govern the world, and the most important reason for the political chaos is the dominance of the family."

He paused, and continued: "I wonder if the teacher has heard a story before."

Chen Kan was quite interested and motioned to him.

You Hongyin said: "There is a family of people by the sea who live by fishing, and they like to eat sandfish in the sea. However, after the fish is caught on the shore, it is easy to die, and the taste of dead fish is several times worse than that of live fish. Suddenly one day , The fisherman put a catfish in the cabin, and found that the dead fish were greatly reduced, and most of them could persist until the fishing boat returned to shore.”
