The Theory of Ghosts and Demons Is Inconclusive, True or False Only Remains in the Human Heart!
Old Chen's face revealed a thoughtful expression.
"In the history of Great Xia, the ancients had always been in awe of ghosts and gods.”
"This reverence is reflected in their actions.”
"It's a moral restraint on one's actions.”
"This kind of reverence is also common in other religions in the world.”
" In modern times, we call it religious belief."
"The ancients of the pre-Qin period rarely believed in religion.”
"But they generally revere ghosts and gods!”
"And later, even the rulers of the past dynasties.”
"He is also very respectful to ghosts and deities!"
As he spoke, he could not help but quote the classics.
"In this Confucian classic, the 'Doctrine of the Meaning'.”
"Confucius gave a different explanation for ghosts and gods.”
"They believe that ghosts and gods are things that the eyes cannot see and the ears cannot hear.”
"But ghosts and gods can be reflected in life.”
"Every aspect of everyone's life.”
"Confucius acknowledged the binding effect of ghosts and gods on people.”
"He also warned people to be sincere and restrain evil thoughts.”
"This way, we won't be punished by the ghosts and gods.”
As he spoke, Elder Chen began to return to the present.
"And in our country today.”
"There's still the saying,'If you don't do anything wrong, you're not afraid of ghosts.'”
"Or as the saying goes,'there are gods within three feet of your head'.”
Elder Chen paused for a moment.
He stopped the topic at the right time.
However, this awareness was self-evident.
As expected!
Hearing Old Chen's words, everyone's imagination ran wild!
The words of this ancestor were also right now!
Wasn't this the current world?
Supernatural incidents had occurred so frequently in the past few years.
Didn't it just verify these claims?
.................
"There's no final conclusion to the theory of ghosts and gods. Whether it's true or false only exists in people's hearts.”
"Therefore, ghosts and gods are never the product of feudal superstition.”
"This is an ancient painting from more than a thousand years ago.”
"It's already depicted in the Taoist legends.”
"The highest authority and executive body in the underworld.”
"Therefore, the appearance of this painting is very important to us now.”
"Understand the cultural thoughts of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.”
"It has a very high academic research significance!”
Elder Chen said excitedly.
Of course, what he didn't say was…
This painting was not only meaningful for historical and artistic research.
It was also important for understanding the culture of ghosts and gods!
Now, ghosts and monsters were flooding the world.
It was already a fact that the academic community had a tacit understanding of.
The Imperial Court had also secretly gathered them.
A group of top scholars and experts.
Among them were scholars in the field of historical relics like him.
Together, they would study academic discussions related to ghosts and gods.
Why in this world?
Why would such a supernatural existence suddenly appear?
If there were ghosts in this world...
Could there be immortals?
However, these questions were answered after the meeting.
However, he could not come to a conclusion.
It couldn't be helped. Great Xia's history was too broken!
In history, there were several wars and rulers who destroyed some cultural classics.
The impact on Great Xia's cultural heritage was immeasurable!
This was the most serious of all.
It was the actions of Qin Shihuang and Xiang Yu.
Qin Shihuang's 'burning books and burying Confucians'.
It caused a great loss to the preservation and teaching of the archives and books of the Pre-Qin Dynasty.
Many of the folk's various cultural classics were collected and burned.
Although it was described in the Records of the Historian.
However, there was still a single copy left in the royal archives of Xianyang Palace.
However, after the Chu Overlord Xiang Yu invaded Guanzhong, he set the Xianyang Palace on fire.
It caused a large amount of documents and historical information of the Qin Dynasty royal family to be reduced to nothing!
Qin Shihuang and Xiang Yu had set these two fires in six years.
They burned a large number of archives and books from the ancient times of the Chinese nation to the Qin Dynasty.
It caused an irreparable loss in the history of Chinese culture!
Later on, there were several dynasties in history.
Especially the rulers of the Yuan and Qing dynasties.
In order to consolidate his rule.
The suppression of some of Great Xia's culture.
In particular, many books related to the history of thought were destroyed.
There were even books on science, technology, and economics.
It was also listed as a banned book and even destroyed.
It was a devastating blow to the cultural heritage of Great Xia!
Some scholars believed that the knowledge about ghosts and gods was related to the knowledge of ghosts and gods.
It was even the most important book to deal with ghosts and monsters.
It had already disappeared in the long river of history along with a few generations!
Even though there were some traditional Buddhist scriptures.
There were records related to these ghosts and gods.
However, there were some existing records.
There had been a huge error in the passing down of generations.
Most of these differences were only between words and sentences.
But the meaning was vastly different.
As the saying went,"A slight mistake can lead to a thousand miles of error"!
For example, the Daoist classic Tao Te Ching had been modified in many places by later generations.
It had become unrecognizable, and the original intention of the part and the whole could not be unified!
Tao Te Ching was a philosophical classic written by Lao Tzu.
It was an important source of Taoist philosophy!
Back then, more than 50 silk books that had been lost for more than 2,000 years were unearthed from a Han tomb at Mawangdui, Changsha.
Two of them were copied with 'Virtue' and 'Dao'.
It was extremely similar to the Dao De Jing that was passed down from generation to generation!
The scholars followed the order of the two silk books.
They were collectively referred to as the silk book Laozi.
Moreover, after research, it was found that the burial time of the silk book "Lao Zi" was more than 2170 years ago.
It was about 50 years earlier than the oldest known version of Tao Te Ching by the River God!
Moreover, the silk book Laozi was written earlier than the burial time.
It was estimated to be at least 100 years earlier than the Tao Te Ching!
Use the silk book "Lao Tzu" and the popular version of "Tao Te Ching" to compare.
He discovered that the latter had tampered with the former more than 700 times!
As a result, more than 160 of the original 350 sentences had undergone major changes!
These differences might be due to the mistakes of the ancients.
Perhaps it was because someone had tampered with it.
From this, it could be inferred that there was a possibility that the other books had been tampered with!
Some of them had even been specially verified and were clearly fabricated!
Therefore, if something that had never been recorded appeared now.
There were historical relics related to the culture of ghosts and gods.
The academic community would pay attention to it!
This was an ancient painting that had appeared at Wang Bingbing's house.
It was extremely precious!
Of course, Old Chen would not reveal the actual value.
He only talked about the artistic and cultural achievements of the painting on the surface.
But that was it.
It was enough for everyone to look at this painting in a new light!
