Chapter 417 (1/2)
If it's someone else, I don't necessarily understand what Zhou qiuchu's words mean. What's the inevitable connection between the rise of science and technology and the decline of practice?
However, Chen Hui understood the meaning of Zhou qiuchu dialect.
Because Chen Hui grew up in a Taoist temple, he was very familiar with Taoist classics, and he also had a deeper understanding of Taoist philosophy.
The basic meaning of Zhou qiuchu's words, in fact, can only be summed up in four words, which means that prosperity will decline!
Prosperity will decline, extremes will reverse, and times will turn out the same way.
In fact, Chinese civilization, whether Confucianism or Taoism, originated from the book of changes. It can be said that the book of changes is the first of all the classics.
Both the works of Confucianism and Taoism are originated from the book of changes!
When adversity reaches its peak, it will turn into prosperity. When bad luck comes, good luck comes.
However, this word is derived from no hexagram and Tai hexagram!
In fact, it is another explanation of the situation.
However, it is more appropriate to sum up the meaning of Zhou qiuchu's words at this time, that is, prosperity will decline and extremes will reverse!
After all, what Zhou qiuchu said to Chen Hui at this time was the relationship between the rise of science and technology and the decline of the world of practice.
Zhou qiuchu's meaning is very obvious, that is, the world of practice reached its peak and reached its peak. From that time on, the world of practice began to decline.
However, the practice world has been handed down for a long time. Even if it begins to decline, it is also a process of gradual decline, just as it reached its peak at the beginning, it is also a gradual process, rather than an overnight formation.
The most vivid metaphor is that the development process of anything is a parabola. When it reaches the top, it begins to decline!
Modern science and technology have been developing and making continuous achievements, obviously not reaching the top of this parabola.
In other words, the development of science and technology is still on the rise!
As for when it will reach the top of the parabola, when it will reach the peak of science and technology, and when it will start to go downhill, no one knows the answer!
However, everything can not escape this law!
Maybe on that day, the practice world will start to recover again, and maybe the past glory will be restored again. However, there is no answer to all this, because no one knows what the future will be like!
The rise of any thing will inevitably lead to the decline of a thing, or it can be understood that the decline of any thing will inevitably lead to the rise of new things, because everything is one and two sides, yin and Yang coexist!
The ancient theory of yin and Yang is the simplest explanation of the universe. Everything can be explained by Yin and Yang.
