Chapter 1403
"To be thirty years old corresponds to having friends come from far away."
"Confucius enlightens us by saying that a person, who has reached the age of thirty has to have principles in his dealings and interactions with everyone, and then there will be no chaos."
"Only then will people be happy to associate with you and come to your home often, not that I'm not happy when friends come from far away, it's not like that."
"You have to have principles so that your friends will come and be happy to come to your house and interact with you often, and to come on their own initiative and more often, otherwise you, a person without principles, will not come even if you ask him to, politely reject you or simply ignore you."
"Forty without confusion" corresponds to a person not knowing and not sulking."
"For example, if you're in a profession and you're good and you're special, it's only natural that other people don't know you, so you don't have doubts about yourself. What does that matter to you?"
"Fifty and knowing your destiny corresponds to being angry and forgetting your food."
"So you can't be angry and forgetful from a young age, young people can't be angry and forgetful, no."
"Young people nowadays don't move and forget to read online, end of story! They forget to play games, it's over! They forget to play with their mobile phones, it's over! They forget to play games, it's over! Forgetting to follow dramas, also finished!"
On the stage, Li Linfei played two roles by himself, achieving a large fine live performance, the whole audience of university students could not help but laugh a lot, many people watching the live broadcast and staring at the screen eaters are inexplicably lying.
"28 years old is still fuming and forgetting to play lol, is considered wasted."
"The real batch, how many people lie shot."
"Pull back, anyway, eat date medicine."
......
This is when Li Linfei sat upright and said seriously and solemnly: "There are prerequisites for getting angry and forgetting to eat folks, that is when it dawns on you, when you know what you really want to do in this life, when it is already very clear what the goal is."
"You then have to do it with all your heart and soul, with all your anger and forgetfulness, half your body is already in the ground you can't bother with this and that anymore because you don't have time, you're really all finished if you bother."
"So let me ask you all, is reading novels, playing games, tweeting and catching up on dramas in the prime of your life is really what you really want to do in your life? Is that really what you want to do with your life? I don't think so."
"Sixty and earning a living corresponds to being happy to forget."
"To be happy to forget your sorrows is wrong, so wrong that it is old age and dementia. Joy to forget sorrow really means to tell us to look at all our sorrows as pleasure."
"I remember when I was in fifth or sixth grade and a dead friend who was in the same class at the same table, we used to go for a walk together every day after class or after school and then talk about the world, the past and the present, everything."
"One day on the way to school I suddenly asked him a very strange question, I asked him if you dropped 100 yuan, would you be happy or unhappy?"
"He asked me suspiciously what you thought, I said of course I should be happy, he said why, I then did a detailed calculation with him, I said look, now I have lost 100 yuan, if I am still unhappy, I am not a big loss? I've both lost the money and I'm in a bad mood, I'm losing money at both ends."
"Then in order to stop the loss, I can't throw away my happiness too, so I should be in a good mood, I must be in a good mood, I should be happy to have lost $100!"
"Because the money lost can't be recovered, but the mood can still be adjusted, then of course happy is right."
The whole room laughed at this comment, such a refreshingly simple explanation? It was another in a series of live and let live.
And Li Linfei is also full of smiles, moved a little body to take the microphone and then said: "Now think back, junior high school era I was to gain or lose perspective to look at the problem, things happen can not be turned back, then stop loss, alas ...... really is still too young, the realm is still too low. "
"I am right to be happy that my realm has been raised by reading sage books today, but I should not bother with gains and losses, but look at it as fun, that is the right thing to do."
"So students, don't always think that your elders are stubborn and obstinate and don't understand anything. In fact, the elder understands everything, it's just that he's already while his ears are down, so why can't you understand their behaviour?"
"That's because you haven't reached his kind of realm ah, realm can't be taught, only enlightened, you haven't reached the realm of not huffing and puffing, nor have you penetrated what it means to be angry and forgetful, that's even less understanding of what it means to be happy and forgetful."
"So it is bound to create the image of elders being stubborn, stereotypical nor adaptable in the impression of future generations as a result, and you also ridicule the elders, but the elders actually don't care about your ridicule and remain as stubborn and stereotypical as you think they are, because the realm of the elders is already just ears to the ground."
"Seventy years old and following your heart and not overstepping the rules corresponds to not knowing that old age is approaching."
"Confucius was seventy years old he didn't even know he was that old because in Confucius' mind there was no notion of being old in years, a person, when you feel comfortable and free from distress in whatever you do, do you feel old?"
"What Confucius says about not knowing that old age is coming gives us the enlightenment that one has to submit to old age, but not to recognise it."
"Don't we have a saying that one does not grow old when one is old? But you have to accept old age, you can't escape from your physical age, but the kind of state in your heart is different for everyone. Confucius' heart remained young all his life, so even when he was 70 years old he didn't know that old age was approaching."
At this moment, the whole audience of university students were silent, but they all listened attentively and looked at Li Linfei with rapt attention.
On stage, Li Linfei spoke with a leisurely smile, "Confucius' lifetime of practical experience was gained from the I Ching, and the results of Confucius' lifetime of practice are summarised in the Analects, and it was only after I read the I Ching and then went back to read the Analects that I realised how remarkable Confucius was and why he is the ancient sage of our China."
"When I was 17 or 18 I actually hated Confucius and Mencius because they were representatives of Confucian sages, Confucianism before the Qin Dynasty was completely different from Confucianism after the Qin Dynasty, and in Confucius' time he wore a sword with him even when he went out, why? You can't do harm to others, you can't guard against them."
Chapter 1404
"So back to the topic of the I Ching, to penetrate the I Ching you can't just read it, you have to be able to draw trigrams and read trigrams to really penetrate the I Ching, that Confucius revised the I Ching into a scripture, he certainly drew a lot of trigrams."
"In fact everyone draws trigrams all their life, the I Ching it is based on the eight trigrams, so to speak of the eight trigrams of the I Ching is to represent the sixty trigrams, then one has to give each trigram a name to distinguish it, the Qian trigram, the Kun trigram, the Fu trigram, the Tai trigram, the Humble trigram, the Great Passage trigram, the Small Passage trigram and so on."
"But you can't see the truth in the trigrams just by looking at their names, if you could see it that would be amazing, only creation can do that. When I say it in today's modern language everyone immediately understands."
"A piece of equipment is built by you you know of course what it is for, but give it to another person, sell it to a user, he does not know, you have to tell him what it is, how to use it you have to teach him, but you people no longer what to do?"
"The manual!"
"Now the products have a manual, the manual will also have several operating links inside, the general environment inside several small links, are clearly written to tell you step by step exactly how to operate, the equipment will work properly up, then you do not then operate, the equipment of course will not work."
"So each trigram name has a corresponding trigram rhetoric, trigram is a big whole, there are also levels inside, all different, that is called lines (yáo), a hanging has six lines, that is to say any one thing you better separate it into several parts, into different stages, and then to study its stage changes, characteristics, then you probably eight or nine can know what the result is. "
"Since there are six lines, each line must also have a corresponding line saying as an indication of what the characteristics of the trigram are at this stage and what you have to pay attention to."
"In this way, when we see a trigram, the overall context plus some of the operations are clear."
"Then in addition to the lines, there is a 'use nine' and a 'use six', we know that Wuji gives rise to Taiji, Taiji gives rise to two yin and one yang, but whenever you know that when 'yang' appears in a trigram it is using nine, and conversely when yin appears, you have to consider using six."
"But it's not that you must use six, one yin and one yang are relative, not separate, the yin pole is yang and the yang pole is yin, one yin and one yang is called the Tao."
"The I Ching tells us that everything is relative, meaning that when we see yin, the routine convention is to use six, so if there is a routine there must be an exception."
"Using six is actually very simple, it means that if you are Yin lines you have only one principle, just cooperate fully with people and things, it's very simple, since you are playing the role of cooperation you can't have too many opinions, too many claims."
"You are a subordinate of the company and you have to cooperate fully with your boss, you have too many ideas in case they conflict with your boss' ideas, either you will be fired or the company will be in total chaos."
"Some may say you are speaking for yourself, all I can say is that a superior man hears the way and acts diligently, a middle man hears the way and if he exists, he dies, a junior man hears the way and laughs, not laughing is not enough for the way."
"I am not speaking for myself, but speak from an objective standpoint, routine situation you just need to cooperate fully, you will not be fired by the boss, the company will not be chaotic, do not cooperate fully will be fired, the company will be chaotic, but ...... this is a routine situation, but all have exceptions occur. "
"Measurements are accurate? We all know that measurement is subject to error, accurate or not is only relative, the I Ching speaks of this, this is a yin and a yang is called the Tao."
"When the yang lines appear, you know he is creative, a creative thing, so using nine tells you that at different stages, even though you are creative, you have to make adjustments at different stages, so it is most difficult to use nine, you have to be very, very careful."
"One general's incompetence kills a thousand armies. When the boss of a company is incompetent, the company eventually goes bankrupt and so many employees below have to lose their jobs along with them, so you have to be very careful with the nine."
"When you look at the trigrams within the I Ching, of course you have to start with the first trigram, which is the Qian trigram, but we know that we have to be relative, so looking at the Qian trigram alone still has limitations, you also have to look at the Kun trigram and then combine it, and the bigger thing is to look at all 64 trigrams."
"It is impossible to talk about all the 64 trigrams of the I Ching today, although they are all important, but there are more important ones within the important ones, which are the Qian and Kun trigrams, and the most important one here is the Qian trigram."
"Then let's talk about the Qian trigram first."
The pop-up comments on the live broadcast were just plain skinny, such as what
"Shocked, tech guru doing it live", and
"Technology big man telling fortunes and divining trigrams".
Live, we only saw Li Linfei whirl around and pick up a piece of cardboard on the stage, then draw out the Qian trigram, which is just six horizontal, the upper and lower trigrams of the Qian trigram are the same, combined into a complete Qian trigram is six identical parallel straight lines, which is the Qian trigram.
The audience immediately looked at the big screen and Li Linfei whirled around and said, "The first trigram of the I Ching is the Qian trigram, and once the Qian trigram is unravelled and looked at, one line represents one line, and each of the eighty-eight hexagrams has six lines."
"Then the Qian trigram, counting from the bottom up, from the first line to the sixth line, corresponds to six words: submerge, present, tiger, leap, fly and hyper."
"Submerge the submerged dragon."
"Present Present Dragon."
"Tigers the dragon."
"Leaping Dragon."
"Fei-fei dragon."
"Hyperactive dragon."
"They are all dragons, but you see that from beginning to end the dragons are in different states, which is why you are reminded that the herd is six dragons."
"But at different stages there have to be different manifestations, you can't say you only have one state, headless doesn't mean headless but not in a fixed way, we now use the idiom of the group of dragons without a head, the context and the semantics are completely different in ancient times."
"To interpret the Qian Gua, first of all say 'using the nine', what do you mean by using the nine? The Qian Gua uses the Nine, and the Gua is just one phrase: Seeing a group of dragons without a head is auspicious."
"This is where the idiom of "no head for a herd of dragons" comes from."
"It means that when you act like there is no leader in the herd, it's great luck, but you can't eat chicken tonight."
Audience: hahaha ......
