Enjoy the world

Hua Zhenxing: "Everywhere you go is beautiful."

He only answered four words. This is also a characteristic of Taoism. He needs to use the simplest summary to explain his own practice experience and practice pursuits. However, the spiritual thoughts accompanying his words are indescribable, and even the spiritual thoughts cannot be used. To describe it.

Different people may receive different information and have different feelings when they hear it. This is all related to their own knowledge, even ordinary people with no cultivation.

This is also a kind of magical power, called sravaka wisdom or sravaka attainment. Mastering the sravaka's achievements requires at least a seventh-level cultivation, but most monks in the seventh-level may not be able to master it skillfully. Most of those who really make good use of the sravaka's wisdom are experts in the ninth level.

If one speaks without the wisdom of the sravakas, it is not called discussion, but a debate among ordinary people in the world. Hua Zhenxing had not thought of the scene here and now, but it was also a kind of chance. Suddenly, he was so blessed that he realized the sravaka achievement in his heart.

What is beauty? The simplest view of ordinary people is that it usually means good-looking, likeable, comfortable and desirable.

So what does it mean to look good, like, feel comfortable, and want? This is not only to discuss the standards of aesthetics, but also to clarify the inner principles of the so-called aesthetic process.

In ancient times, some people believed that the beauty of things is contained in the infinite and mysterious mathematics, conforms to and contains certain internal laws and rhythms, and is thus reflected in external coordination and moving.

From ancient times to the present, some philosophers believe that "beauty" is an objective existence, existing in the world of ideas, or included in the dialectical cause and effect of the absolute spirit.

No matter whether beauty exists objectively or not, even if it does exist in ideas that transcend specific things, aesthetics itself is still a subjective process, which is the criticism and discovery of objects with each person as the subject.

Many people tend to have a narrow concept of "beauty", mainly understanding it as artistic aesthetics, or even focusing only on visual aesthetics, such as whether a painting, a piece of clothing, or a scenery is good-looking and beautiful.

This is no wonder, because most of the information received by the human brain comes from the visual sense.

However, the concept of beauty goes far beyond the scope of artistic aesthetics. It is the criticism and discovery of all things in the world, as well as re-criticism and rediscovery.

People use "beauty" to describe almost everything, such as beautiful scenery, delicious food, beautiful colors, beautiful words, virtues, beautiful dreams, beautiful things... and even the beautiful world.

Beauty means good and better. As for what is good and better, that is the question that human civilization needs to answer, and it is also the self-answer that everyone needs in the world.

Are beauty standards class-based? Many people are still arguing about this, but there is no need to argue at all. Go everywhere for beauty, beauty is the purpose, and beauty is the pursuit itself. In a world where class differences exist in fact, how can aesthetics not have class characteristics?

The opponents' point of view is that a landscape is beautiful and an artifact is beautiful. No matter who looks at it, they will find its beauty... This is the commonality of beauty, otherwise the concept and consensus of the so-called beauty will not exist.

But beauty is not only about commonality, aesthetics is also very individual. It is not only a judgment of natural things, but also represents everyone's taste and pursuit. Including everyone's wishes and efforts, dreams and fantasies, that's where they go.

For example, many people’s desire is to achieve class crossing, which makes them easily accept the temptation of consumerism. Creating a subconscious illusion of transcending classes is almost the inherent logic of luxury marketing around the world.

Is the end of science theology? of course not! Science, philosophy, including theology, all end in aesthetics, and they all have to answer the question of where to go. What is the purpose of everything we do, and where do we want to lead the world, even if it is just a pie in the sky.

Such as the beauty of nirvana, the beauty of carefree nature, the beauty of the unity of man and nature, the beauty of the universal unity, and the ultimate beauty of all things!

Hua Zhenxing did not answer what is good or better. He only answered what is beauty?

Go everywhere for beauty, beauty is our pursuit itself, it is the ultimate goal of all our actions! It is beyond attitudes and methods, and all attitudes and methods exist for it and because of it.

People often talk about "truth", "goodness" and "beauty", but these three are not in parallel relationship. The latter is transcendent from the first two.

"Truth" is attitude and ability, "goodness" is method and path, and "beauty" is both the goal and direction of pursuit. The purpose of "truth" and "goodness" is "beauty".

It is indescribable and real. It is contained in the ideals of life, society, the world, and the universe, and is contained in conscious or unconscious desires. Even if the ideal is not realized, it will always exist.

Hua Zhenxing was taught by three elderly people since he was a child, not only by words but also by example. They are all experts in their own way, but their styles are different.

Uncle Mo seems to be a simple ascetic monk, but is what he teaches Hua Zhen "bitterness"? of course not!

In fact, he personally told Hua Zhen that suffering itself is meaningless, but the efforts and process of overcoming and changing suffering are meaningful.

If we talk about suffering, the people in Afroport and most of the neighborhoods in Kilili Country have already endured enough. That is hell on earth, there is no uglier place in the world than that.

If suffering cannot be changed, it will only be endless torture and harm, and will not give people any strength or hope. Only the expectation of overcoming suffering is truly powerful, and that's what Uncle Mo did.

Without the Straw Shoes Gang formed by Uncle Mo, how could there be a new alliance later?

Although Uncle Mo is simple, his pursuit is not hardship, but teaching people how to overcome and change hardship! Uncle Mo's personal teachings mainly taught Hua Zhen to practice "truth".

Uncle Mo's truth is manifested in his actions.

Uncle Mo himself pursues simple beauty with a "true" attitude. His old man is actually living a good life and has reached the state of returning to nature. He taught Hua Zhenxing that he should pursue beauty through real efforts instead of praying in fantasy.

It’s just that the vast majority of people in this world simply cannot reach his old man’s level, and cannot and cannot learn.

If what Uncle Mo taught Hua Zhen to do is "truth", then what Master Ke taught Hua Zhen to do is "goodness".

Goodness is the criterion needed between people. Every era has its needs, but the inner logic is the same.

All "order" in the world is based on cognitive conventions of good, such as the public order and good customs advocated and the legal system formulated.

The entire governance system of New Zealand was created under the guidance of Confucius.

The two most important functions of order are firstly to ensure people's safety, and secondly to ensure social fairness. Its source is the cognition of "goodness".

The breakdown of order brings chaos and suffering. For example, the former Jili Kingdom almost copied the entire legal and institutional system of the former sovereign state, but it only remained on the surface and had never been truly implemented, nor did it have the power to ensure its implementation.

This means that the order has lost its "truth" and thus its "goodness", not to mention the "beauty" that people yearn for.

There is also a situation where the order itself is unreasonable, or becomes no longer fair under certain circumstances and no longer conforms to people's perception of goodness, so it needs to be continuously improved in order to make the results more "beautiful".

As for Old Man Yang, what he taught Hua Zhenxing was probably the most difficult, because he directly pointed to the goal itself, which is "beauty"!

If Old Man Yang is willing to change into a younger look, he must be a handsome man. Even if he is described as a handsome old man now, the "beauty" he taught Hua Zhenxing is not in this aspect.

The life state and taste he shows are the pursuit itself. If someone asked that common question, who do you want to be? Old Man Yang doesn't need to answer, he is just showing it off!

Old Man Yang had asked Hua Zhenxing to read recipes as comic strips since he was a child, was it just to cultivate a cook?

When people are hungry, it is enjoyment to be full. Although farming is hard work, people's pursuit is food and clothing. All work is a means, and food and clothing is the goal.

What about after eating? People are definitely not satisfied with just eating cassava paste to satisfy their hunger. They all hope to make the food more delicious, more nutritious, and more enjoyable for the body and mind.

Hua Zhenxing does not regard extravagance as a virtue, but this does not prevent him from making various delicacies with his own hands, even though he himself has the seventh realm of cultivation and can already live without food.

This process itself can become a kind of personal taste cultivation, reflecting the attitude towards all things.

Old Man Yang taught Hua Zhenxing the Ancient Essence Technique, and Hua Zhenxing turned it into a nourishing technique. This is to appreciate the beauty of vitality and life, and to pursue the beauty of physical and mental state.

What Old Man Yang teaches Hua Zhenxing points directly to the source and the goal itself, but it is too idealistic for ordinary people. It can be imagined but extremely difficult to achieve.

Hua Zhenxing was most deeply influenced by Old Man Yang, because he was raised by Old Man Yang and understood that "everywhere is beautiful". And when he looked around, the world he saw was obviously so ugly, so he wanted to find a place to go.

He became an idealist and a pure lover of beauty.

Because of the existence of Uncle Mo and Master Ke, Hua Zhenxing has not become another Yang Tehong. He not only pursues his own change, but also wants to change the world he lives in so that he can become a better existence.

Huazhenxing is the largest capitalist in the Kingdom of Gila. He has taken the monopoly characteristics of capital to the extreme and controls Huanxiang Industry 100%. Especially in Huanxiangte State, every inch of land, every property, even every plant and tree belongs to him in name.

This may be the pursuit of some people, taking it as the ultimate beauty, but it is not Hua Zhenxing's pursuit. He does it in the name of Feng Zibin. All of this is just a means to create a world of joy in his vision. .

Beauty is the inner pursuit of all attitudes, beauty is the ultimate goal of all means, and beauty is the inner destination of everyone, no matter what everyone considers beauty.

This is Hua Zhenxing's answer.

After Hua Zhenxing finished speaking, Cheng Tianle couldn't help but high-five and said: "I heard that there was a wonderful discussion at the Zhengyi Sanshan Conference thirty-five years ago.

The last sentence of that question was, "What is cultivation?" Mr. Feng asked and answered his own question: "Know where you came from and go where you came from, and go where you came from, and go where you came from, for cultivation." ’

It’s a pity that I wasn’t born yet and didn’t have the chance to witness it. Today, Teacher Ding asked, "What is beauty?" and Director Hua answered, "A place is beautiful," but we can also get a glimpse of the beauty of the question back then. "

At this point, he and Wen Xiaoshao looked at each other, and Wen Xiaoshao nodded immediately and said, "In that case, we will help you."

Gao Jianling on the side was a little dumbfounded. He never expected such a scene. Just like this, Cheng Tianle and his wife agreed to help without any requirements or conditions.

If there are some requirements, that is, Hua Zhenxing is required to answer questions about the Tao, do all the real masters in the world play this way?

Before coming here, Gao Jianling had made various mental preparations on how to pay the price of migrating tribesmen. Not to mention anything else, the cost of moving 18,000 people to Meng En Garden is an astronomical figure!

Gao Jianling has gained some wealth in recent years, which is enough for him to live a comfortable life anywhere, but it may not be enough to pay such an expense, not only for travel expenses, but also for settlement expenses!

Therefore, Gao Jianling's original plan was to use the outside world of Fengjin Village as reward.

So before he came, he expressed his position that if this could be accomplished, he would give Fengjin Village to the Wanbian Sect as a separate garden. Fengjin Village was given to Wanbian Sect, so what about Hua Zhenxing?

Kunlun monks all know that Hua Zhenxing is not short of money, and Hua Zhenxing has not asked him for compensation, but Gao Jianling cannot take advantage of it in vain, so he can only think of other ways. For example, he, a Dacheng monk, will work for Yang Yuangu from now on... …

In fact, this is not a loss. Look at Sima Zhi, his life is much more prosperous now, much more prosperous than he, the high-ranking village chief. But no matter what, this can be regarded as everyone getting what they need. Hua Zhenxing is also short of people here, let alone a Dacheng monk.

The reason Gao Jianling was in a daze was because he was also thinking about Hua Zhenxing's question just now. Seeking beauty everywhere, isn't what he did to find a better place for his people?

After coming back to his senses, Gao Jianling hurriedly stepped forward to express his thanks, wishing he could bow down on the treetops. Cheng Tianle smiled and waved his hands and said: "Village Chief Gao doesn't have to be so polite. The reason why we are willing to help is because it is a good thing.

As for whether you are willing to give Fengjin Village, the secret place outside the prescription, to the Wanbian Sect after the migration is completed, I am not hypocritical, and I am very happy to accept it... But this is a story for later, let's discuss how to implement the migration first. "
