Anyone who has watched the TV series "The Way of Heaven" is most impressed by **Ying and is amazed, but **Ying in the book repeatedly sighs that he is not as good as Xiao Dan.
This is not modesty, the real master is Xiao Dan and not ** Ying, which is the key to understanding "The Way of Heaven" or "The Distant Savior".
Xiao Dan's cleverness, in the words of the book:
1. There is no greed, hatred, ignorance, and suspicion;
2. When you live, you live, and when you die, you die.
The moon shone high, and the soft moonlight shrouded the village in a silvery black hue, which seemed a little blurred. A gentle breeze blows through, filling the air with a fresh smell peculiar to the fields. Rui Xiaodan pointed to the village in front of him and said, "This village is called Wangmiao Village, which is Feng Shijie's hometown, with more than 100 households, and is the poorest village in this impoverished county. That's what I'm giving you to give, write me a myth here. ’
Mythology? Ying Yi was stunned, savoring these two words in his mind.
Rui Xiaodan said: 'The ancient city can't keep you, and I don't have the luxury of expecting it to last forever. You leave me a memory, let me know that you once loved me like this, that I used to do this woman, don't let me keep all my memories in bed. ’
*Ying pondered for a moment and said: 'Gold and silver jewelry are not enough to embellish a woman like you
Rui Xiaodan shook his head lightly and said indifferently: "I'm not so noble, I'm not high enough not to talk about money, so I work hard to support myself." If it's for money, I'll ask you, so I don't have to go here and twist with you. If you ask for a car house, it will spoil you. ’”
This section is a bridge in the development of the story, and without the "gift" that Xiao Dan wants, there will be no follow-up. But the author took this opportunity to make **Ying say a very intriguing sentence: gold, silver and jewelry are not enough to embellish a woman like you.
What kind of woman is she? The gold, silver and jewelry are not worthy, and it still makes people sigh to themselves?
In fact, a person like **Ying, who has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, has already been a bit lonely and seeking defeat, why is he not as good as a seemingly ordinary female policeman? The answer lies in the fact that even if Ding is smart enough to reach the pinnacleThe motive for all his calculations is just four words: fame and interests, and behind the fame and interests is greed, hatred, ignorance, and suspicion.
When ** Ying had been fighting all over the world for many years, he met Xiao Dan, and realized that the real master was not playing with him in the field at all, but stood on a high place and laughed at them fighting for the master of the martial arts alliance. You kill and kill and distinguish between the superior and think you are awesome, but in fact, you are just greedy, angry, stupid, and suspicious, and you are a slave to these words for a lifetime, and you still think you are a winner in life.
And Xiao Dan, fame and money have not been seen, greed, hatred, ignorance, slow suspicion, and victory without a fight. This is what it really means to say "gold and silver jewelry is not enough to embellish".
I saw that the comments discussed why Xiao Dan committed suicide, and this plot was not reflected in the TV series, in fact, this question could not be answered more bluntly in the book:When you live you live, when you die you die
Some people may ask, this is also called explanation?
Yes, it's a complete accident.
* Ying talked about Buddhism in a big way, but he knew very well in his heart, "The relationship with the Buddha is at the threshold even if the fate is over, and you can't enter or leave."
Although Xiao Dan does not understand the Dharma at all, he is practicing in his behavior, especially in the major events of life and death, which is unambiguous: Confronting a fugitive alone, killing himself in ruin, is really bold! It is the work of those who have attained enlightenment. Those who are full of mantras, full of showmanship, go to the front of life and death to test their kung fu, and stop obsessing with the Dharma.
One can empty fame and fortune, and the other can look directly at life and death, calmly following fate, there is no such person in ten thousand, which is the "kingdom of heaven". And ** Ying Zai is clever, but he is well-versed in the world, clever and clever, and he is still an ordinary man on the earth. The first of the six billion people on the earth is also difficult to compare with heaven and man, because it is not an order of magnitude at all, and there is no comparison, just like the most powerful ant cannot be compared with people.
The first is the "Heavenly People" represented by Xiao Dan
They are smart and clever, but they are real masters, Niu is beyond their own cultural attributes, such people, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign are very rare.
The second type is the "god man" represented by ** Ying, who has insight into the world and is comfortable in the world. What is extraordinary about them lies in the pattern, in the fact that they grasp the cultural attributes and understand their own limitations ("greed, hatred, ignorance, slow doubt"), but in the end it is difficult to surpass ("the relationship with the Buddha is considered to be the end of the relationship").
The third type is the rest of the characters, like Ye Xiaoming, Feng Shijie, Liu Bing, and the second type of people. They are also dominated by cultural attributes, greed, hatred, ignorance, and suspicion, but they are unaware of it, so they are puppets and victims of culture, and they are also easily used and played with by "gods", just like Liu Bing who was forced to die.
In this world, the first two kinds of people are rare, and most of them are the third type, and this book is written for the third type of people.
The author intends to tell the world through this deviant storyDon't be a slave to cultural attributes, don't be a slave to anything.
First of all, the first step is not to rely on others, and then break it little by little, break the culture, break the cultural attributes, and there is no obstacle in the world. However, there are also people who are born at the level of the first type of person, such as Xiao Dan, who is the "daughter of heaven". In addition, there should be another layer above the cultural attributes, which the author did not mention, which is probably the first step in the threshold of the Buddha, which is not within the scope of the worldly law.
In this world, there are talented "poor people" everywhere! They are only eight high, rich and rich, but in the end they are poor and have nothing to do, but they ......
Many people who are not very capable can have a successful career and a proud life! The biggest difference between people is not birth, not diplomas, not money and dominance, but ......
If you are interested in the core concept of the way of heaven, if you want to have a deeper understanding of it, advocate reading the original book "Distant Savior", and after reading "Distant Savior", you will understand that if there is a savior in this world, it must be yourself, and the only one who can really save us is ourselves, and others can help us, influence us, and guide us, but they cannot determine our rise and fall. If you don't work hard, you can't do anything if others want to help.
If you want to understand the person of **Ying, if you want to understand the culture of the business world, then read the book "Distant Savior", which is in the TV series, and the book will be more profound, and what is not in the TV series, and the book is also very detailed.
This book is a masterpiece from all aspects of ideological realm, knowledge structure, character building, writing techniques, and language dialogue, and it thoroughly addresses deep-seated issues such as religion and human nature, social laws and cultural attributes.
It has demonstrated a wealth of professional knowledge of religious theory, financing**, audio, business law, etc., with considerable depth and breadth, as well as strong authority.
Calm down, savor word by word, an indescribable sense of resonance will gradually surround you, read a little deeper, read a few more times, only to find that because of it, you have fallen into deep thought.
What's even more commendable is that the author never forgets to explain his understanding of "cultural attributes" through the mouth of ** Ying when advancing the plot step by step, and these exquisite dialogues are always timely and inserted into the story, allowing you to understand the philosophy of life.
