Chapter 975 Notes

ps:  Today’s first update, please support the monthly ticket.

"I just said, you must be upright..."

At this time, Mr. Duan said earnestly: "Stand is persistence, and it also means to keep it. Keep it unchanged and respond to changes with unchanging conditions. There will naturally be no problem with fortune. But from the beginning, you will change first, and fortune will naturally deviate. If it becomes better, there is nothing to say, but the most feared thing is that it will not benefit future generations, and it will become an obstacle."

"This is a big taboo, you have to be careful."

Mr. Duan warned seriously: "You said just now that the grandson is still young, just like a seedling. You need your careful care and shelter from the wind and rain before they can thrive. In other words, now is the critical moment, and seeking stability is the best. If you are stable, they will naturally be fine. If you are unstable, the result will be unpredictable."

“Yes, yes.”

My cousin agreed and then smiled embarrassedly: "Master, since your fortune can be improved, how should you change?"

The human heart is not enough. Snake swallows elephant. It is also a common human nature to look at Shu and see him. At least Mr. Duan is not surprised. He laughed and said, "This is easy to deal with. Urge them to study hard and cultivate them well, so as not to go wrong paths. It will naturally happen."

"Yeah yeah..."

My cousin remembered it carefully and continued to ask for advice, endlessly. It was rare that Mr. Duan had the patience and answered it one by one, which made my cousin respect him as a god, and probably even had the heart to worship him.

At this moment, Wang Guan finally understood why Mr. Duan was so respected in the Kong family village. The main reason was that he had the ability and what he said was convincing.

Of course, Wang Guan was also very convinced, because among the ten sentences of Mr. Duan, eight of them were positive and positive, doing good deeds and accumulating virtues. In this case, he had no reason not to believe them. After hearing this, Lu Chongming also let go of his concerns and felt that if his cousin really did this, it would not be harmful no matter how he saw it. On the contrary, he had a good reputation.

At the same time, Lu Chongming also had some clarity and whispered: "With a good reputation, you should be able to benefit future generations, right?"

"Of course." Wang Guan nodded gently: "One day my son asked you for help. For my sake, you have this ability. Are you willing to help?"

"It must be helpful." Lu Chongming touched his chin and said, "In this way, let alone Feng Shui and other things, my cousin really did this. For the two nephews, it will definitely be beneficial in the future. In this way, it has nothing to do with Feng Shui."

"Old Duan said, if you believe it, you have it, if you don't believe it, you won't." Wang Guan said with a smile: "It's like your grandfather's life-giving. Those who start a family first and then start a career will have their own wives and children to take care of when they are working, and they will inevitably be distracted and unable to take care of them. If you are distracted, you often don't please both sides and work is not going well. If your children are not educated well, you can only look at the next generation of grandchildren."

"Begin a career first and then start a family. With a certain economic foundation, you can take care of your children calmly. With focus on cultivating, it is easier for children to become talented, so naturally the son is more promising."

Wang Guan analyzed it and smiled and said, "I say this, are you more likely to accept it?"

“Exquisite.”

In an instant, Lu Chongming gave a thumbs up: "I guess that's what my grandfather thinks."

"So, it's just that." Wang Guan said calmly: "It doesn't matter if you advise people to be good. If you believe it, it doesn't matter. If it's a coercion and intimidation and ask for money, it must be a liar."

"It's very right." Lu Chongming raised his hands to agree, and then found that his cousin led Old Duan into the house. He immediately asked in surprise: "Where are you going?"

"Look at what your grandfather left behind." Uncle cousin greeted: "If you are interested, come and have a look. I have collected the things for more than ten years, and you probably haven't seen them."

When Lu Chongming heard this, he couldn't sit still. He quickly called Wang Guan and followed his cousin into his house. The things were stored in a large cabinet in the corner of the house, and they were pressed into the bottom of the cabinet. After the cousin took it out, it was obvious that these things were very old and even fine dust.

Things are not precious, they are just a compass and a few silk-contained books.

I won’t say much about the compass, it is relatively old, and because it has been a long time, all the needles on the face of the time have been broken. Seeing this situation, my cousin blushed and explained: “It’s been a long time since I’ve been used. I don’t know when it was broken.”

"It's okay, read the book."

Mr. Duan waved his hand, picked up the silk-covered book and looked at it, and he was immediately surprised: "There are actually notes..."

What are notes? Generally speaking, there should be two meanings. One is classroom notes. When the teacher teaches, he must say some key knowledge and key points. Students are afraid that they cannot remember them, so they must record them with a pen.

Another meaning is what we often call reading notes. When reading a book, you can record any insights, unique insights, and unique insights you have.

Relatively speaking, reading notes are even older, which the ancients called. Take the Analects of Confucius as an example. During the Qin and Han dynasties, great scholars at that time began to write annotations for the content of the Analects of Confucius according to their own understanding. So don’t think that Confucianism is just a school. In fact, there are many schools within, each with its own theories.

To put it bluntly, those people borrowed a layer of Confucius' skin and then habitually carried private goods. Moreover, during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, hundreds of schools of thought were abolished and Confucianism were respected, the competition within Confucianism became more intense, and the academic dispute had even reached the point of eliminating the other party, which was definitely not the battle of intention as everyone imagined.

For example, Kong Yingda, a great scholar in the Sui and Tang dynasties, was an authentic descendant of Confucius, but because he participated in a debate during the Sui Emperor, he fought against many scholars, won the championship and established his status as a great scholar.

However, it was this debate that made the failed people hold a grudge and directly hired the murderer to retaliate. Fortunately, the high-ranking officials and powerful officials at that time helped protect him, which allowed him to escape. Thinking about it carefully, it was just a dispute over the classics and was already so popular, not to mention the dispute over the Taoist tradition, which was naturally even more cruel and ruthless.

The academic disputes between the Sui, Tang and Song dynasties have not stopped for hundreds of years. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism as the leader, and then calmed down the disputes. However, the good times did not last long. Only more than a hundred years later, the master of Heart Studies Wang Yangming was born. Mr. Yangming, who was known as the saint, founded the Wang Xinxue and fought with Neo-Confucianism again.

Of course, on the surface, everyone respects Confucius, but in fact, the annotations of Confucius' classics are the root of various academic thoughts. At present, the reading notes left by Grandpa Lu Chongming are similar. The Feng Shui books of the ancients are nothing. His experience and understanding of Feng Shui are the key.

"Yes, there are notes." Uncle cousin nodded and said ashamed: "However, it feels very difficult. I know every word, but once I join it, I can't understand it at all."

"Normal." Duan Lao smiled and said, "This is a professional term. People without a foundation cannot understand the roots."

While speaking, Mr. Duan couldn't help but read it, and he nodded gently from time to time, obviously echoing Grandpa Lu Chongming's comments. However, there were also times when he shook his head, and he obviously had different opinions.

"have a look……"

Seeing this, Lu Chongming also grabbed a book and flirted, and his brows were indeed not able to understand the meaning. Some simple content seemed to be understood, but in fact, they didn't understand anything.

After all, ancient Feng Shui books are based on the style of ancient seals. The words are very concise, and a few words cover many meanings. Without a vernacular explanation, ordinary people will definitely not understand it. After reading it for a moment, Lu Chongming couldn't help but shake his head and handed the book to Wang Guan casually, so that he could also feel his pain.

"The geography is full of prosperity!"

Wang looked at it and was a little surprised: "The author is actually Liu Ji."

"What's wrong with this author?" Lu Chongming didn't understand Wang Guan's surprise very much.

"Liu Ji, Liu Bowen." Wang Guan explained: "Zhu Yuanzhang's adviser was Liu Bowen, a military officer of the Tianji, known as Zhang Liang of the Ming Dynasty. There are many legends among the people, and the Shaobing Song was passed down by him..."

"Oh, it's him." Lu Chongming suddenly realized: "A very powerful figure helps Zhu Yuanzhang to firmly control the country and to defeat the world. However, it seems that his official position is very small, so he only has a title of Zhenyi Bo."

In ancient times, the title of Duke and Marquis Bozinan was the most normal for the founding fathers to be named Duke and Marquis, and even posthumously named King after death. In contrast, with Liu Bowen's contribution, the position of an earl was indeed obviously derogatory.

“This is very normal.”

At the same time, Duan Lao laughed and said: "The status of strategists in ancient times was very awkward. When needed, even the emperor could command orders to control them. When not needed, the fate was often very tragic. The doctor who helped King Goujian of Yue destroyed Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period was a good example."

"So Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty learned his lessons fully. No matter how generous Liu Bang rewarded him, he refused and refused to participate in the political struggle. Speaking of which, this was also a good start for future strategists, so that they could know how to hide their own plans. After all, strategists were too smart. Today, they could help the leader to wipe out the world and tomorrow they could subvert the world, which naturally made the emperor very taboo."

While speaking, Mr. Duan sighed quite a bit: "That's it. There are also legends about Liu Bowen's death. Some people say it was a natural death, some people say it was a fake death to escape, and some people think it was Zhu Yuanzhang's actions..."

"There is no need to elaborate on all the things here."

At this time, Mr. Duan pointed to the geek and laughed: "But this book is indeed one of the important works of the Lover School. The whole book mainly talks about the situation of mountains and rivers, and hardly talks about qi regulation. It does not involve the contents of Nine Stars, Eight Trigrams, Four Symbols, etc., but the ideas in terms of landscaping are clear and the explanation is clear, and it has a deep essence of Yang Gong."

"Who is Mr. Yang?" Lu Chongming said in confusion.

"Yang Yunsong, the master of Feng Shui in the Tang Dynasty." Duan Lao smiled and said: "I was an official in the court in my early years. Later, due to the Huang Chao Rebellion, I returned to the people to regulate the mountains, rivers and earth, and help the rich and the poor. If you are interested, you might as well check his information. As for now, I will look at the end of the book, and it seems that I have drawn a Feng Shui pattern diagram."

"What?"
