Introduction: Some classics are really difficult to understand for superficial readers like me. Let's talk about the logical fallacies, for exampleTaking "Journey to the West" as an example, one of the logical mistakes is that although Tang Seng's mother Yin Wenjiao is the prime minister's daughter, she openly throws hydrangeas to recruit relatives in the bustling market, whether it is lame, blind, married or an old man, she can be taken home to get married. What's even more surprising is that entering the cave room that night, even the most auspicious day does not need to be chosen.
Yin Wenjiao threw her son into the river, but she chose to return and spent 18 years of her marriage with Liu Hong, her enemy who killed her husband. Although her husband and son later returned, she chose to calmly end her life and so on. These seemingly contradictory but interrelated plots have been reasonably interpreted and dealt with in this **. Surprisingly, this illogical and common sense plot has been recognized and accepted by most readers, who are not even willing to admit that this is a hidden dark line plot in **.
There's a very obvious logical error in the list of gods that I'm going to discuss today, and I'm really not sure what the author is trying to convey, whether it's a hidden clue, or just a logical lapse. Because I think this mistake may be a mistake caused by the fact that the author did not carefully consider the feelings of the reader when he wrote it. As it should be, this mistake is too conspicuous. Today, I would like to share my thoughts and hope that you will comment on this and see what you have to say.
1, Jiang Ziya came down from the mountain and took refuge with his sworn brother Song Yiren.
This person known as "Song Yiren" is Jiang Ziya's sworn brother before going up the mountain to practice, and the affection between them is deep, like brothers, regardless of each other. Although this deep friendship has not been reunited for forty years, when they meet again, the feeling is still so fresh and warm.
Song Yiren is a wealthy local tycoon who runs several hotels in his home and owns his own property, vehicles and savings. One day, she and her husband went to the county seat to play, passing by a small farm yard and seeing a big locust tree in the yard. When he saw Jiang Ziya, his heart was full of joy, and he immediately found a place to live for him, and prepared wine to entertain him, while also chatting about their daily life. Here's what the original article reads:
A stranger asked, "How many years has your virtuous brother been on the Kunlun Mountains?"Ziya said: "I didn't realize it for 40 years. Inhuman sighed again and said, "It's so fast." What did your virtuous brother learn in the mountains?”
Ziya asked, "Why don't you go and study, otherwise what are you doing?"”
A stranger asked, "What are you learning?"Ziya instructed: "First carry water, then water the pine, then plant the peaches, then make a fire, and finally use the furnace fire to make alchemy." ”
Jiang Ziya is very low-key and does not show his true ability, which is much stronger than the Monkey King in "Journey to the West". However, his skills are really powerful, especially in dealing with people, which is impressive. Wukong always likes to show off in front of everyone after learning his skills, but Jiang Ziya knows how to restrain his edge and maintain a low-key lifestyle. On the way to learn from the scriptures, he is an out-and-out understanding person, never cares about personal gains and losses, and always stands at the forefront to command thousands of troops. It is no wonder that Yuan Shi Tianzun has a soft spot for him and is willing to give him great responsibilities. Jiang Ziya does have profound virtue and profound cultivation.
Although Song Yiren was just an ordinary person, he didn't know much about Jiang Ziya's Taoism and strategies, and it was difficult for him to comprehend Ziya's initial decision. So, I did it from the perspective of a business person.
Inhuman said with a smile, "This is just a servant's task, how can it be called insignificant?Since the virtuous brother has returned, why not look for a new career, why should I become a monk and live with him in my house instead of going somewhere else? I know you better than anyone else. ”
What Song Yiren wants to express is, I thought you had learned some amazing skills over the yearsWhy didn't I learn?It turned out that he went to work for others and became a servant. You say, I'm your own brother, how can I not love you?If I had known that you had achieved nothing, I would have chosen to become a monk and have a business deal with me. Now that you're back, I know you're a good man, a good woman. Now that you have returned, please stay in my home and do not have any contact with the outside world. The affection between us is deep, and I will neither be disgusted nor despised by you. I'm living in my house right now, so you can live in peace!Live here with peace of mind, my brother is not short of money, you better not think about it. "This is a passage that a friend said to me in ** at the end of last year. I was very touched when I heard it. ””
Jiang Ziya reluctantly echoed his suggestion and said, "Who can deny it?"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have gone home. If I had learned business from my brother, maybe I would have become a local tyrant by now. ”
The focus of the next step is that Song Yiren plans to marry Jiang Ziya. Despite this, he is still determined to marry Jiang Ziya, which is a non-negotiable decision that does not consider whether he wants to or not.
2. Under the arrangement of Song Yiren, Jiang Ziya encountered an indescribable predicament.
Quietly speculated: Does Song Yiren think that it is inappropriate to keep a single old man at home because he is afraid of being talked about?
After all, this Song Yi man was born rich and noble, and his family has wives and concubines, concubines and so on. It was indeed a bit difficult to get along with her. So, her wife is a very good friend ———little brother-in-law". Although Jiang Ziya is known as "a friend's wife cannot be bullied", he is not the kind of frivolous person, but when he meets and interacts with his sister-in-law in daily life, he finds himself a lonely boy and girl, which makes him feel a little inconvenient.
Why not arrange a marriage for him, not only to silence the gossip of those who are bored, but also to prevent Ziya from causing trouble, because with his wife watching over the house, his behavior will become polite and common-sense. There is no one in this world who does not know the word "stealing chickens and dogs". Others also don't spread rumors, cause trouble, or gossip.
Regarding this matter, Song Yiren once persuaded Ziya like this. Please continue reading the original article:
A mysterious person said: "The ancients once said: 'There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and no offspring is the greatest.'" 'Brother Xian, this is also my time with you, tomorrow I will discuss marriage with you, give birth to a boy and a girl for you, and make sure that your surname is Jiang. ”
Song Yiren proposed to Jiang Ziya that the purpose and core idea of marriage is: "Unfilial piety is great." In order to continue the tradition of the Jiang family, you can't be alone, find a suitable daughter-in-law and give birth to a son.
This sentence sounds quite reasonable, and at the same time it is full of warmth and care, and such sworn brothers are actually rare. However, what kind of daughter-in-law is he going to marry?After all, it does cost to get married. So, he agreed. Despite this, Jiang Ziya did not agree, but just wanted to euphemistically say his refusal.
Ziya waved his hand and said, "Brother Ren, let's discuss this matter again." The two talked until late at night, and Ziya chose to settle in Songjiazhuang.
In other words, Ziya did not give consent. However, this Song Yiren didn't care whether Jiang Ziya agreed or not, and went directly to Ma Yuanwai's house the next morning to propose marriage. This embarrassed her father, because he was a very traditional man and never easily associated with women. Their goal is to marry their family's 68-year-old unmarried woman, Ma. There is poetry as proof:
After leaving Kunlun for the imperial state, Ziya got married today. She is a sixty-eight-year-old girl with yellow flowers who occasionally gets two chances to become a groom.
I'm sure you're aware of thisHow can this work!Is there a serious logical lapse here?Song Yiren made it clear that the purpose of finding a wife for Jiang Ziya was to have offspring, but later arranged for him a sixty-eight-year-old unmarried woman.
There is not the slightest sincerity here at all?How could this be?What family's 68-year-old unmarried woman can continue to have children?Isn't it inconsistent, inconsistent with words and deeds?
If you really plan to get Ziya married and have children, then you should at least choose a partner who is as young and beautiful as Daji. If you really want to give birth to a healthy and intelligent child, you have to study your childbearing age carefully. Even a young woman like Queen Jiang, in her forties, has a chance to have children. However, if you want to make this issue clear, I am afraid it will not be so easy. You actually married an old woman who was "sterilized by time", and you are still talking about how to have offspring to ensure the continuation of the Jiangmen family?
I'm not sure what you think about this issue, is it a logical mistake in **, or is there some kind of "secret" behind this apparent error?
