Chapter 77

   Following Laozi, Zhuangzi, Fan Li, and Zhang Liang, Zhang Lao continued to list the names one by one, probably in the order of dynasties, from front to back, until the end, and listed the modern librarian.

   This is also the last name Zhang Lao listed.

   Starts with librarians and ends with librarians.

  In the middle, every time he proposed a name, Zhang Lao basically said: "What do you think of this person?"

   What can Xu Guangling think?

   Is Zang a sage? In fact, there is a lot to say. Xu Guangling basically knows a little bit about these people, his life stories, his posthumous comments and so on. one. - What is your position to comment on?

   So at this time, he probably just said one or two sentences.

   But it is not perfunctory. Before speaking, Xu Guangling thought about it seriously, and indeed summed up a sentence or two seriously. Although it does not involve praise or derogation, from the perspective of summary, it should be considered qualified.

   And Zhang Lao's response was to nod his head and continue to ask.

One by one.

   Until the end, after listing all the names to be listed, and after listening to Xu Guangling's answer, he said again: "Humble words, have you heard about couplets?"

   "New Year's Yuqing, the festival is Changchun?" Xu Guangling said.

   Mr. Zhang smiled, and Mr. Chen also smiled, because this is the first couplet in the history of the legend, and it can be regarded as the "monster" of the couplet.

Of course, strictly speaking, this is only one of the couplets, "Spring Couplets". After Mengchang of Hou Shu wrote this couplet, in history, this format of text has been played with many tricks, "Poems and Songs" , Poetry, Poem Yu (words), music, and couplets are the four great actresses in ancient rhythmic writing.

   In the movie Tang Bohu Dianqiuxiang, this is what Tang Bohu played with "Duo Chuanchang".

   "It's good to hear about it." Zhang Lao smiled, "Then I will also make a couplet today. If you are interested, you may try to match it. Of course, you don't have to do it today. You can do it anytime in the future."

   After a pause, Zhang Lao slowly recited: "Nurturing is the way, and there are many sages in ancient times."

Nurturing, maintaining a family, Taoism, Taoism, when I heard the first couplet from Zhang Lao, when they were listed one by one, what Xu Guangling felt faintly was suddenly penetrated by these words, and for a while , actually made him feel a sense of shock or enlightenment, in short, a jolt, or a shock.

   This couplet, in terms of format, is very simple.

   If you really want to be right, Xu Guangling can match ten and eight at will, and at this time, no more than five minutes! But now that he understands Zhang Lao's intentions, he can't be wrong at will. It can be said that Mr. Zhang Lao's previous inquiries were those "What kind of person do you think he is?", not real questions, not exams .

   The real question and exam papers are here!

   If he can't answer this well, and if he still answers casually as before, it will really reduce his impression score!

   Fortunately, Zhang Lao gave him time.

   This is basically an open-book exam, and there is no time limit. As a former good student, Xu Guangling still has the confidence to answer it well.

  Xu Guangling didn't plan to show his power. He would correct this couplet later or before he left. In that case, Zhang Lao would not be pleased but disappointed. - Sometimes, the answer doesn't matter.

   In other words, the key is not the answer.

   is a process of pursuing the answer, and the harvest in the process.

   This test paper, in Xu Guangling's opinion, is generally like this. Of course, this is only Xu Guangling's own opinion, whether Zhang Lao himself meant it or not, I don't know.

At this time, Xu Guangling just nodded and said, "Nurturing is the way, and there are many sages in ancient times. Zhang Lao, I wrote it down. When I go back, I will look up the information first, and then think about how to deal with this couplet. Please give me I have a little time."

"Don't worry, ten days is not too early, October is not too late, even ten years is not too late." Zhang Lao laughed and extended the opening time almost infinitely, "Okay, this is an appetizer, Casual topics, let's get down to business."

appetizer?

  Casual topic?

  Xu Guangling just wanted to say that just this appetizer already made him feel like he had just eaten.

   Zhang Lao's questions or ideas directly gave him a new perspective, allowing him to observe history and those famous and sages from this direction. Again, the answer is not important, and even whether Zhang Lao's summary is correct or not is not important.

   What matters is this clue.

Speaking of   , if you shake it, you should be able to shake out some things hidden under the long river of history, and those things cannot be seen in words or in historical records.

  A person is like a line. If these lines intersect, the "intersection" can be found. Written records that are divided at different times and are not comprehensive enough to be indistinguishable between true and false are all barriers, but the ideas provided by Zhang Lao are an auxiliary line.

   An auxiliary line may not be enough, but the auxiliary line itself is also an idea. - If you have one, you can have a second, a third...

  Xu Guangling didn't know how to express his gratitude to Zhang Lao, and all he could do at this time was to listen respectfully.

   If the previous one was really just an "appetizer", what would Zhang Lao's "main dish" be like?

   "Humble words, have you heard of the book 'Nei Jing'?" Mr. Zhang asked at this time.

   "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon?" Xu Guangling said.

   Zhang Lao nodded.

   "I've heard of it, and I've seen some general introductions about the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classics, but I haven't read this book." Xu Guangling said a little embarrassedly. In the past, he had seen this book in several libraries, but because he knew it was a medical classic for a long time, he never had the intention to open it.

  Lao Zhang smiled, got up, took out a book from the bookshelf, then walked back and handed it to Xu Guangling, "Humble words, here, look at the first section, the key point is the short paragraph I marked."

  Xu Guangling got up, stretched out his hands to take it, and looked down, only to find that it was the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic", and when he opened the first section of what Zhang Lao said, he saw the paragraph underlined with a pencil—

   Qibo said:

When a woman is seven years old, the kidney qi is prosperous, and the teeth grow longer; on the second seven, when the heavenly gui arrives, the Ren pulse is open, the Taichong pulse is prosperous, and the menstrual period is at the present time, so there is a child; on the thirty-seven, the kidney qi is balanced, so the true teeth grow and grow. Extreme; four or seven, the muscles and bones are strong, the hair is extremely long, and the body is strong; five seven, the Yangming meridian is weakened, the face begins to burn, and the hair begins to fall; Seventy-seven, the Ren meridian is deficient, the Taichong meridian is less attenuated, the Heavenly Guidance is exhausted, and the tunnel is blocked.

The husband is eight years old, the kidney qi is strong, the hair is long and the teeth are more numerous; the twenty-eighth, the kidney qi is prosperous, the Tian Gui arrives, the essence qi overflows, and the yin and yang are harmonious, so he can have a child; thirty-eight, the kidney qi is balanced, the muscles and bones are strong, so the true teeth are Born to be extremely long; four or eight, the muscles and bones are prosperous, and the muscles are full and strong; five or eight, the kidney qi is weakened, and the teeth are drooping; The tendons cannot move, the Heavenly Guidance is exhausted, the essence is less, the kidney storage is weakened, and the body and body are all extreme;

  The kidneys govern water, and receive the essence of the five stores and six houses and store them. Therefore, when the five stores are abundant, they can be expelled. Today, the five Tibetans are all weakened, the muscles and bones are disintegrated, and the heavens are exhausted. Therefore, the hair on the temples is white, the body is heavy, the walking is not straight, and there is no child ear.

  In other words, among the book friends who read this book, can anyone match the couplet for Xu Guangling?
