Wang Yu's eyes narrowed as he solemnly said.
"Daoism talks about humans, and Daoism respects gods!"
Liu Fei's eyes immediately lit up.
This sentence was interesting.
Daoism talked about humans, and Daoism respected gods!
"Mr. Wang, can you explain it to us? Daoism talked about humans, and Daoism respected gods. What did this mean?”
"The focus of Taoism is on the unity of man and nature," Wang Yu said.
He advocated the Great Way and advocated that "only Tao is obedience and Tao is natural". He was mainly engaged in academic activities and other political and cultural activities. He worshipped Tao Te Ching, Zhuangzi, and the Four Classics of the Yellow Emperor as classics.
As a religion, Taoism deified Taoist figures to increase their popularity. There was worship and belief in immortals, as well as a series of religious rituals and activities. What it pursued was " immortality." Its main classic was the Daoist Canon.
If the difference between the two was explained more simply, Taoism was more like the ideology of modern parties. Taoism was a religious belief, and the two could not be mixed together.”
The television station's staff was in a daze as they listened. They only felt that Wang Yu was very powerful and spoke logically.
However, they had no idea what he was talking about.
The so-called only Dao is to follow, Dao is natural, these were too abstruse to them.
The staff didn't understand, but Academician Chen did.
He was excited and nodded repeatedly.
"We were still wondering why there were so many refutations in some of the Taoist theories that were unearthed. It turns out that it was because we stood at the foot of the mountain and only saw one foot of the boundless mountain, so we felt that there were refutations.
After listening to Mr. Wang's words today, it was really enlightening. There was actually such a big difference between Taoism and Taoism. He had really broadened his horizons.”
"We have found descriptions of the Tao Te Ching in history, but what are the Zhuangzi and the Four Classics of the Yellow Emperor that you mentioned?”
Wang Yu was stunned.
This world didn't even know about Zhuangzi and the Four Classics of the Yellow Emperor!
My God, what did the Tartars do back then?
Wang Yu was filled with emotions, but he also felt rather sorrowful.
The Tao Te Ching, Zhuangzi, and the Four Classics of the Yellow Emperor were all treasures of the Chinese civilization. They were the foundation for the continuation and development of this ancient civilization.
While sighing, Wang Yu was also thinking about how to answer this question.
"'Zhuangzi' is both the title of the book and the name of the person. This was a great Daoist sage from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. His entire life's ideas were recorded in the book Zhuangzi.
At the same time, Zhuangzi was also the soul of Taoism. His ideas influenced the development of Taoism, and could even be said to be the core of Taoism.
Chuang Tzu originally had seven inner chapters, twenty-eight outer chapters, fourteen miscellaneous chapters, three explanations, fifty-two chapters and more than 100,000 words.
Later, it was deleted by Guo Xiang, a great sage of the Western Jin Dynasty. After that, there were thirty-three articles in three parts: internal, external and miscellaneous. There were more than 200 big and small fables, with 65,920 words.
Among them, there are seven inner chapters and fifteen outer chapters. 11. The book was all-encompassing, with detailed discussions on the theory of the universe, the relationship between man and nature, the value of life, critical philosophy, and so on.
I like the inner chapter of the "Carefree Travel" the most.
There is a saying in Xiaoyao You: There is a fish in the north of the sea, and its name is Kun. Kun is so big that I don't know it's thousands of miles away. It turned into a bird, and its name was Peng. I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. He flew away in anger, and his wings were like clouds hanging down from the sky.”
"Wonderful, wonderful. This sentence is really great."
Academician Chen suddenly stood up and laughed."Although it's just a short sentence, it's enough to show the magnanimity of the ancient sage. The size of this Kun Peng was not something that ordinary people could imagine.”
"That's right. Zhuangzi's thoughts have influenced Taoism for thousands of years." If there was no Zhuangzi, perhaps there would be no Taoism.”
Academician Chen was surprised.”
"This brings us to our previous question, what is Taoism?" Wang Yu said.”
"Taoism originated from folk witchcraft and can be traced back to the ancient times.
Zhang Daoling of the Han Dynasty inherited the thoughts of Laozi and Zhuangzi. On the basis of Taoism, he integrated folk witchcraft, divine sacrifice, and the thoughts of the Yin-Yang School, forming the Taoism that ordinary people knew. This was also the origin of Taoism.
Lao Tzu created Taoism, and Zhang Daoling created Taoism.
Among them, Zhuangzi's ideas and philosophy of life had given great help to the emergence and development of Taoism. For example, Chuang Tzu once said: Do not eat grain, drink wind and dew, ride clouds, ride flying dragons and travel outside the four seas.
This sentence sounded similar to Taoism.”
Academician Chen's eyes were blurry as he muttered,""Don't eat grains, drink dew, ride clouds, ride dragons and travel the four seas. What kind of magnanimity could make him say such words? What kind of person would have such wild thoughts?”
"Sigh, the Tartars invaded the Central Plains. We lost too much, too much. We can't find any records of such a great person like Zhuang Zi.”
Academician Chen couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
"Is the cultivation that Mr. Wang is talking about similar to Buddhism's accumulation of merit, ascending to the Nirvana Realm, and cultivating the Arhat Dao Fruit?" asked Liu Fei.”
"Almost, but completely different. Taoism cultivated immortality, pursuing immortality of the physical body, or becoming an immortal. After becoming an immortal, one would live as long as heaven and earth.”
"There's such a thing as immortal cultivation?" Liu Fei asked in surprise.”
Wang Yu lowered his eyes slightly and did not answer immediately.
If it was in the past, Wang Yu would have told the other party.
Cultivation was just a dream.
But now, with the Legendary System, Wang Yu wanted to say,"
I'm here, so there are immortals in this world!
