Most of the Mohists in Qilu were from the Xiangli family, who mainly focused on debating and taught the Mohist thought of universal love.
I hope to achieve peace in a gentle way and oppose the use of violence to solve problems.
However, Lingguo's attitude of paying attention to people's livelihood and learning is quite to their liking.
Not to mention anything else, they greatly agreed with Lingqing's idea of setting up an experimental project to demonstrate his own ideas.
In addition to these two schools, there are other schools that hold the same idea and want to use Lingming Academy as the foundation to promote their own theories.
Especially those small schools that have not made a splash in Jixia Academy have placed their hopes here.
Of course, after facing numerous Taoist and Tibetan classics, Taoists and Yin-Yang schools also have a profound understanding of which school Lingqing prefers.
Therefore, the two families will naturally not let go of Lingguo and Linggong, who have mature classics.
Not to mention these, since Xu Xing took office as Mingji Tangtang Cheng.
He began to focus on his own ideas, absorbing the natural way of Druid and some classics recorded by Lingqing, to integrate new farm ideas.
With such a powerful person present, Ling Qing would naturally not turn a deaf ear.
Since he received the inheritance of Druid, he has been constantly thinking about what the way of nature is.
But this proposition is too ambitious.
In a narrow sense, it is a forest, a mountain, a plain, or a swamp.
It is the balance between plants, the survival of the fittest among animals, the birth, aging, sickness and death of living things, etc.
And in a broad sense, is there anything in the world that is not natural?
Deserts with the least contact with plants, cities known as steel jungles, underground worlds with only spores and mushrooms.
Even the will of the entire planet, the sun and moon in the sky, the stars in the distant universe, etc.
It can all be called natural.
But it doesn’t mean that just because you say it’s natural to you, it will happen.
You have to be able to do it, be able to understand it, and have some influence on it, in order to get the corresponding natural gifts.
Therefore, he first started with trees and forests, balancing the ecology of grass and trees as nature, and balancing plants to obtain the gifts of nature.
After all, when he talks about nature, the first thing he thinks of is the vast jungle and the plants that grow there.
For him, this is more in line with his own definition of nature, more in line with his understanding, and he knows how to influence it.
After gaining the authority to control exotic plants, he focused on cultivating and obtaining exotic plants.
Take nature and use it for yourself.
But this is just the basis.
It was also during his stay in Laoshan that he came into contact with the Great Dao, and it was natural to seek the Dao.
Man follows the earth, earth follows heaven, heaven follows Tao, and Tao follows nature.
A Taoist learns from nature.
This "natural" means naturally.
It is the characteristic of the entire universe and encompasses the fundamental attributes of all things in heaven and earth.
The laws that everything in the universe follows or follows.
So can Druid understand this "nature" as "Druid's nature"?
Of course it is possible!
Druids can obtain power from nature, and this power naturally contains the laws of all things.
The nature of Taoism can of course also be understood as the nature of Druidry.
At the same time, the innate Qi he refined was the original Qi that gave birth to all things in the world.
It is the basic quality that constitutes all things in the world, and everything is in this Qi.
In this way, this innate Qi is Tao and nature.
But as a result, there will be a very embarrassing situation.
From the beginning, the forest was nature, and then everything became nature.
From the solid forest vegetation to the ethereal rules of everything.
Only the transition between the forest and all things, reality and virtuality is missing.
The lack of step-by-step understanding, and the true natural way is too grand, resulted in his understanding of nature being very fragmented and one-sided.
So far, although the way of nature was opened first, he has the poorest understanding of the druid's way of nature.
Gu Mao
In other words, the most clueless.
He sorted out the Miaoxiang Emperor with the way of wildness, and the Miaoling Emperor with the way of summoning.
Only the corresponding incarnation of the emperor was not sorted out in the natural way.
After listening to Xu Xing's sermon, Lingqing also figured it out.
He doesn't intend to expand the druid's natural way too grandly.
Just use the forest as the foundation and the wood as the way.
Integrate this by combining the Druid's concept of natural magic with the "Blue Emperor's Jade Code".
As for treating all things as nature, let’s leave this to the innate and one-qi way that embraces everything.
Now there is Xu Xing, a great sage who uses farming as his way to explain the thoughts of heaven and man.
If he consults diligently, he will definitely benefit a lot.
It may not be able to make up for the missing transition between the forest and the avenue.
Combining all things in the forest with the way of heaven, earth and man, he sorted out his own Druid concept of the way of nature.
Therefore, while he was refining the Three Light Divine Sword, he often discussed and asked Xu Xing for advice.
On this day, Xu Xingzheng was sorting out his knowledge while explaining the farming methods to Lingqing.
All his disciples, as well as the Guozi students of Mingji Hall, also listened carefully.
“Since Emperor Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs and identified hundreds of medicines, ancestors have begun to use the plants and trees in the world to treat diseases and save people.
By knowing the grains and cultivating the tools, you can change from passive picking and relying on the sky to actively accumulating food to satisfy your hunger. "
Xu Xing said while writing on the bamboo slips.
“This is how humans influence the laws of heaven and earth through their own actions.
Or to be more precise, it affects the growth patterns of plants. "
Having said this, he looked up at Ling Qing who was sitting opposite him and asked.
"Do you think this has changed the laws of nature?"
"As a poor scholar, all things in the world are within the laws of nature.
The changes that people think of are just a side of nature that people have never discovered before. "
Ling Qing said without hesitation.
This is also his realization since his practice.
Everything has its many sides. There is a way to kill, and there is a way not to kill.
The relationship between killing and not killing is just like the obedience and rebellion of immortals, only reversed in the middle.
Merit is the Tao, but this karma does not necessarily mean it is not the Tao.
You don’t know just because you haven’t seen the Tao.
"That's it. The changes that everyone thinks are actually still within the laws of heaven and earth."
Xu Xing turned his attention to the bamboo slips in front of him.
“Any plant will be affected by sunlight, rain, drought, wind and snow, diseases, insect pests, etc. This is the time of day.
Most crops will sow and germinate in spring, grow in summer, harvest in autumn, and kill everything in winter.
It is spring growth, summer growth, autumn harvest, and winter storage. This is the farming season.
The sages relied on this law to concentrate crops that should have been scattered in the fields, and to cultivate weak crops with strong yields.
Therefore, when a farmer sows a hundred grains, he needs to respond to the weather, land, wealth, and manpower. This is because the group grows gradually and the grains multiply.
This is the way to follow heaven and respond to things, and it is the way of heaven and man. "
Then he changed his voice and said.
“What the people want is nothing more than food and clothing. Those who are warm have clothing, and those who are full have food.
Planting mulberry and raising silkworms can provide warmth for clothing, and farming and growing grain can provide food for satiety.
The people are the foundation of the country, and Sanggu is the foundation of the people.
If all the kings in the world could sow a hundred grains and cultivate mulberry trees, they would be able to have enough food and clothing, so that they could have enough food and clothing.
How can the people turn their backs on their country and abandon their king and flee?
Do you think so? "
