Thank you for the Toutiao creation activity. I happened to read about disasters in history today, so I was invited to talk about it at the invitation of Toutiao. Today I read the Yin Fu Jing and read about this incident. In fact, there have been many natural disasters in China's history, and there are also many in Europe, but today I will talk about my views. Let’s talk about Europe. There have been huge plagues and the Black Death in Europe before. It is said that the Mongolian army was fighting with European countries. The plague occurred in the army. The Mongols used slings to throw the corpses of soldiers suffering from the plague into a European city. A major event in history occurred, the Black Death (Plague), and the death toll from this plague reached tens of millions in Europe. It is too serious! But when we look at ancient China, there were many plagues in ancient China, but the death toll was only a few hundred thousand. Why was the difference in mortality between ancient China and Europe so large? It is worth thinking about.
Then I will take you to understand the ancient Chinese views and solutions to natural disasters. According to ancient China, whenever there is a natural disaster, or a major drought, flood, locust plague, plague, sword war. Ancient emperors and ministers would first reflect on themselves, thinking that it was their own policies or major domestic customs corruption and other issues. Therefore, Dong Zhongshu clearly proposed the induction of heaven and human in the Han Dynasty Emperor Wudi. In fact, the ancestors of China long before Dong Zhongshu had a saying that angels brought harm to mankind. But we all know that this is a superstition. It is because of their backward productivity and their inability to do anything about nature, so they put their hope on heaven!
is on the matter, but the ancients did think so. According to the "Family Language", when Yin Taiwu was recorded, but Dao lacked good Dharma, a strange thing happened, that is, a big wild tree suddenly grew on the court and turned into a big tree in seven days. , Known as the strange tree! Diviners say that Sanggu Yemu was born in the suburbs, and now in the dynasty, the country will die! Taiwu was very afraid of fear, and immediately began to cultivate his moral character, think about the government of the emperor and his ministers, and understand the way to support others. Three years later, more than a dozen small countries around him professed to him, and the subsequent disaster did not affect the fundamentals of the country. Master said: "Benefits for survival and death are all in oneself." natural disasters and earth demons cannot be added. In , evil and misfortune are beyond good governance, and strange dreams are beyond good deeds.
During Yao's life, there was a nine-year flood. There has been a seven-year drought in Shangtang, but the country is safe and everyone is not hungry because of it. Why? means that the ruler has the right way, the political theory is balanced, the Lord believes in the ministers and the loyalty, and the people wear it. Although there are floods and droughts, it cannot be a disaster.
Therefore, the ancients believed that morality can be cultivated, even if there is a disaster, it will not have much impact, and it can even turn the crisis into peace, and turn disaster into good fortune. Therefore, if you understand the truth of the times, all people can turn disaster into good fortune. Live and die,
, but this may be due to the backward productivity in ancient times, so the farming ideas have not been scientifically verified and truthful. This also contains the fear of nature and powerlessness of the ancient people. That's why there will be talks of nature and humanity. In today's society, we should believe in scientific research, stay away from superstition, and stay away from partiality.
The following is the source and selection of the article I wrote. From the sparse volume of "Yin Fu Jing", Fu Guoan people performed the law chapter. Shao Shishan Li Yun Shu
Fools are sacred to heaven and earth, humanities and sciences, and I think of time, cultural and scientific philosophy.
Fools are worried when they see stars, sun, halo, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, floods, droughts, and locusts. They don’t know the morality of kings and ministers, and their political principles are honest and honest. appeases the Li people and turns misfortune into blessing. regards the cultural, science, and philosophy at this time, only the sage I know. So the world hangs the sun and the moon to show good and evil, and hangs all nights to show good and bad, all moral and natural reasons. The fool looked up at the Three Lights,Observing the changes in astronomy, seeing the thunder and the anger, or the unseasonable cold and heat, or the water and drought, the fear of harm to the body, full of fear. Fools use this as the sage of heaven and earth. " Time, Relics, Culture and Science", but the monarch is honest and quiet, the ministers are loyal, the magpies are not loud, the borders are no scorpions, the trillion people are happy, the world is Ningtai, the world is disaster, and there is nothing to do.
I take this as the last word. Therefore, the "Family Language" says: "At the time of Yin Taiwu, the Tao was lack of law and evil, so that the evil mulberry valley was born in the dynasty suddenly, and it was arched in seven days. Death!' Taiwu fears, cultivating morals sideways, thinking about the government of monarchs and ministers, and clarifying the way of raising people. Three years later, the distant place admires righteousness and retranslates to six countries." Then Sanggu was incapable of disaster. Master said: "Benefits for survival and death are all in oneself." natural disasters and earth demons cannot be added. In , evil and misfortune are beyond good governance, and strange dreams are beyond good deeds. Also, Yao suffered a flood for nine years, and Tang suffered a severe drought for seven years. It is a sign of peace, and no one is hungry. Who? The ruler has the right, the politics is balanced, the Lord believes in the ministers, and the people wear it. Although there are floods and droughts, it cannot be a disaster.
Those who suffer from floods and droughts, the world is also; the arts and sciences, the time is also. Anyone who understands the truth of time and things can turn misfortune into blessing, and is easy to die and live, so he said: "I use time and things, culture and philosophy." The husband is a military commander, with five colors of solar halo, four-dimensional stars, monsters rushing into the camp, wild birds entering the room , showing the disaster with the world and the sciences, but he can amend government orders, devise plans, sooth soldiers, and turn disaster into blessing. How dare the enemy be? This is also "Times, Culture, Science and Philosophy.
is the reason why the saint knows that nature cannot be done, because it is controlled by it.
Liang said: deep and kind. Heaven and man see nature as nature, heroes see as rule, and fools see as transformation.
