Pan Xuan: Talk about "Knowing 500 Years Before Knowing 500 Years Later"

Some people say that "knowing 500 years before and 500 years later" is not just a matter of finger-pointing, what does it have to do with Heqin? My answer, "Well, yes, it doesn't matter." This is from the Taoist "yes" position. From the standpoint of "nothing", "it doesn't matter, it has a lot to do with it."

Since there is a great relationship, it is time to talk and kiss. However, as I dare not call myself a Taoist, I must start with the laws of heaven and earth and the laws of nature.

How many laws are there between heaven and earth and the laws of nature? Impossible to estimate accurately. However, there is a first and foremost rule, and that is the way of life. And having a relationship is the way of life.

Some people say that Heqin represents weakness, is a symbol of the country's decline, and is a last resort. But from the standpoint of "nothing", this is not the case.

Harmony is a very effective political and diplomatic means, and it is a strategy that is the most yang and yang. Yin and Yang cannot be used alone, they exist at the same time, they are both opposite and interdependent, and they can also be transformed into each other. The cathode becomes Yang, and the anode generates Yin. Heqin is called a conspiracy, and it is irresistible, that is, it is obvious that there is a conspiracy, but it cannot be rejected or prevented.

Why can Heqin be called a conspiracy, and how can it be refused and prevented?

Suppose, there is an emperor who wants to give a beautiful maid, sorry, a princess, to betroth her to you, accept or reject? Some people will say: "I'm not lustful, don't tempt me with beauty! I'm a righteous gentleman who can't be chaotic, and I have integrity!" Well, stand on the "yes" standpoint and support you.

Let’s also assume that the emperor will usually have a dowry when marrying a princess. Then take the GDP of your city for one year as a dowry, accept or reject it? Another person said: "I am not greedy for money, I am a noble person who treats money like dung, and I am dignified!" Well, stand on the "yes" standpoint and support you.

Suppose again that the emperor was furious and said: "I am sorry that the palace maid is the princess. I not only married the princess to you, but also used a year's GDP as a dowry, but you refused. This is despising me. I am very angry. , the consequences will be very serious! If you want to live, there is only one way to marry Bai Fumei, otherwise, you will be pushed out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded! ", Do you refuse or accept? Someone else said: "I'm not afraid of death, I'm a real husband who puts his life and death aside, and I have the courage!" Well, stand on the "yes" standpoint and support you.

Seeing this, many people laughed, and I laughed too. It was someone who claimed to be disciplined, dignified, and put aside life and death, that let us know what personality charm is, and we have to admire it! What a solid man!

And from the standpoint of "nothing", "more than a man with a backbone, he is simply a beast with a dignified appearance, even a beast."

When Heqin is used in ordinary people, it is actually a way of life. Using the country as a family, the development of the country, whether in internal affairs, diplomacy, or military affairs, the ultimate goal is to enable people to better live their lives. So much so that birds, beasts, fish, insects, flowers, plants, and all living things follow the first law of the universe and live the way of life.

To sum up, Heqin is a real stubborn and yang, and it is irresistible, unable to refuse, unable to stop. For the laws of heaven and earth and the laws of nature, human beings can only follow the way.

There is an irreversible force in history, and an irresistible force in the future.

Seeing this, if you can understand what I am talking about, you will also understand the so-called ordinary way.

Once you understand the ordinary way, you can naturally comprehend the extraordinary way. The very Tao refers to the highest belief of Taoism, "Tao of Heaven", also known as "Wu Ji". Wuwei refers to looking at things from the standpoint of "nothingness", that is, doing something in nothingness. There is nothing subjectively, but everything exists objectively.

"Tao Te Ching": "The reason why I have serious patients is that I have a body, and I have no body, so what's wrong with me."

Compared with the above-mentioned people who claim to be virtuous and dignified, and put their life and death aside:

When faced with the life and death of the country, there will always be fearless loyal and good people who are not afraid of life and death, they truly love their country;

When faced with injustice, there will always be ruthless (unselfish) judges who have truly achieved judicial justice;

When faced with ischemia in the blood bank, there will always be people who are selfless and dedicated, and they truly do what I am for everyone.

There is no ego, there is great love, this is the real man!

Selflessness, fearlessness, ruthlessness... Putting oneself in a void space and doing what one should do is exactly what Taoism calls inaction.

It is precisely because the purpose of kinship is to practice the way of life that we can "know 500 years before and 500 years later."

Heaven is boundless.
