Chapter 392 Discuss the Tao with the beautiful teacher
He Xianglin curled his lips, he turned his elbow out. When I praised you just now, I was not so happy to see you.
She felt even more unhappy with Chen Feiyu, and could not wait to see how Chen Feiyu made a fool of herself at night.
Next, after visiting the campus, Duan Shiyang suggested that Chen Feiyu take philosophy class with her.
Chen Feiyu had never been to college and was a little moved, so he agreed in Duan Shiyang's expectant eyes.
Duan Shiyang was very surprised and excited, and even took the initiative to hold Chen Feiyu's hand and walk towards the classroom.
He Xianglin frowned slightly. She didn't want to see Duan Shiyang and Chen Feiyu so close. She immediately walked up and separated Duan Shiyang and took Chen Feiyu's hand, and took the initiative to squeeze into the middle to separate the two of them. She smiled and said, "It's not good to pull and pull the ladies of a lonely man and a widow. Besides, you are the school beauties of our Qinghu University of Commerce and Trade. You must be reserved, you must be reserved."
Duan Shiyang felt a little hot on his face, then he nodded with a red face and walked shoulder to shoulder toward the classroom.
After I arrived at the classroom, I saw that it was crowded and basically all of them were boys.
Fortunately, Duan Shiyang and He Xianglin are school beauties and are treated preferentially everywhere, so someone takes the initiative to give up their seats. Otherwise, Chen Feiyu would probably not be able to find a seat.
"Didn't it say that good philosophy is unpopular? Why are there so many students?" Chen Feiyu was shocked and felt that the rumors were not credible.
Duan Shiyang smiled and said, "Because the teacher in this class is very special and is very popular with students."
"Is that so, where is the special place?" Chen Feiyu said curiously.
"You will know after Teacher Duan comes in later." Duan Shiyang smiled mysteriously.
Soon, a tall, sweet-looking woman wearing a white shirt, stockings and skirt walked in with her document course.
Suddenly, the originally noisy classroom suddenly became quiet, and countless pairs of admiring eyes looked at the lecture hall in unison.
Even Chen Feiyu's eyes flashed with a stunning look.
This female teacher has a very beautiful face, with long black and beautiful hair, softly draped behind her, looking intellectual and sweet, and has the feeling of a big sister next door, which naturally gives people a sense of intimacy. The most important thing is that her golden proportion figure is perfect, and the protruding ones that should be raised and the protruding ones that should be raised are definitely at the level of a otakus goddess!
There is such a hot-bodied female teacher and sweet-looking, no wonder there are so many people in the classroom.
"Teacher Duan is the most popular teacher among students in our school. In terms of appearance, she can be called the school beauty. I heard that she just came back from studying abroad last year and focused on philosophy, so the quality of her lectures is very high. How about it, isn't it beautiful?" Duan Shiyang smiled. She also liked this teacher who is like the eldest sister next door.
Chen Feiyu admitted openly: "So her surname is Duan, she is indeed very beautiful."
Seeing Chen Feiyu's stunning gaze, Duan Shiyang suddenly felt a little savory in his heart and couldn't help but say, "That's not, although they are all surnamed Duan, Teacher Duan is intellectual and sweet, but he is much more beautiful than me."
It was clearly because she took the initiative to bring Chen Feiyu to the class, but she started to be jealous again. She can only say that women's minds are really fickle.
Chen Feiyu smiled and said, "She is an intellectual and sweet sister, the eldest sister next door, and your little jasper is the younger sister next door, so each one is good at spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums."
"Is that so? It turns out that I am so beautiful in Brother Chen's eyes, and I can compare with Teacher Duan." Duan Shiyang smiled like a flower again, even his eyes and eyebrows were smiling.
"Bah, you really know how to lie to women. There is no good thing for men who say sweet words." He Xianglin snorted without hesitation.
On the podium, Teacher Duan had already started the class, and countless people were staring at her, and no one was distracted.
After listening for a while, Chen Feiyu had to admit that Teacher Duan's teaching skills were very high. Even boring philosophy could be explained in an easy-to-understand manner. Not only could he give some interesting examples, but he also compared the similarities and differences between Chinese and foreign philosophies from time to time to deepen his impression on the students.
Suddenly, Teacher Duan laughed and said, "Generally speaking, China has no real philosophy, because the definition of philosophy is to explore the origin of the universe and belongs to the category of metaphysics. China's so-called philosophy, whether Taoism or Confucianism, tends to be practical and does not explore the most fundamental essence of the universe."
Chen Feiyu frowned slightly. This remark was not only a big mistake, but also made him feel a little unhappy.
He heard Teacher Duan continue: "For example, Confucius said that he did not speak of strange powers and gods. Because the strange powers and gods are invisible and intangible, Confucius did not talk about these things, and focused on building a Confucian society of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness.
In addition, there is a passage in the Tao Te Ching that the Chinese people highly admire, "The Supreme One, I don't know the following, I praise you with my relatives, I fear you with my relatives, and I insult you with my fears. It means that the ruler with the highest level does not know his existence. The ruler with the highest level is the ruler with the lower level, and the ruler with the lower level is the lower level, and the people will fear him, etc., used to warn the ruler to govern without doing anything. Similarly, it is very practical..."
Chen Feiyu smiled and shook his head. Just from Teacher Duan's words, it is enough to see that she is really not satisfied with her level in the field of classical Chinese studies.
"Chen Feiyu, what are you doing, do you think Teacher Duan is wrong?" He Xianglin asked suddenly.
Chen Feiyu nodded and said, "What she said was not only wrong, but also very wrong."
He Xianglin frowned slightly. Chen Feiyu is too arrogant. Even Teacher Duan’s level dares to question?
Suddenly, her eyes rolled, and she thought about it. She suddenly raised her hand and stood up, whispered: "Teacher Duan, this classmate next to me, just said that you were wrong."
As soon as these words were spoken, the classroom was silent first, then there was an uproar, and they all looked at Chen Feiyu, and even Duan Shiyang was surprised.
Almost instantly, Chen Feiyu became the focus of attention of the whole class.
Teacher Duan was not angry, and still had a sweet smile and asked Chen Feiyu: "Student, what do you think I was wrong?"
He Xianglin sat down and looked at Chen Feiyu proudly, seeing what you should do this time, and wait to embarrass him in front of Shi Yang.
Chen Feiyu shrugged, the woman's revenge was really strong. Then, he stood up openly and said in front of everyone: "What you just said is wrong."
One stone stirs up a thousand layers of waves!
Everyone was in an uproar again and glared at Chen Feiyu, and it was really abominable that they dared to question their goddess teacher!
He Xianglin smiled happier, and the more arrogant Chen Feiyu was, the more embarrassing he would be later.
Duan Shiyang was full of worry and quickly reached out to pull down Chen Feiyu's sleeve and asked him to sit down, but Chen Feiyu was indifferent.
A look of surprise flashed in Teacher Duan's eyes, and he asked with a smile: "Student, what's your name?"
"Chen Feiyu."
"Student Chen, then you can tell me in detail. What I just said is wrong?" Teacher Duan asked with a smile.
Seeing Teacher Duan’s reaction, many people realized it. Could it be that Chen Feiyu deliberately attracted the attention of Teacher Duan?
Thinking of this, many people secretly called Chen Feiyu shameless.
Chen Feiyu said: "You just said, "The Supreme One, you don't know the second best, you are close to praise the second best, you are afraid of the second best, and you are insulted" this passage says that Lao Tzu is warning the rulers to govern without doing anything. This argument is completely contrary to the original meaning of the "Tao Te Ching".
Don’t you know that the Tao Te Ching discusses the essence of the Tao. Every sentence is basically related to the Tao. However, the Tao is mysterious and difficult to accurately describe with ink. There are many metaphors and codes used in the Tao Te Ching. Therefore, everyone is unwilling to understand and wants to use secular methods of governing the country to force the Tao Te Ching. It is just a far-fetched explanation."
"Oh? In your opinion, what should this mean?" A hint of surprise flashed in Teacher Duan's eyes.
Chen Feiyu said confidently: "The subject of this sentence is not the ruler, but the great way. "The Supreme One, I don't know what exists." People at the highest level are truly enlightened people. Such people forget the existence of Tao. For example, using heaven and earth as an example, "The Tao is in heaven and earth, and heaven and earth do not know, and heaven and earth do not know that there is Tao, but they can achieve Tao.
People with the second-class realm are those who are diligent in pursuing the great way, and those who are close to and praise the great way, and so on, the worst is those who insult the great way. Just as another sentence in the Tao Te Ching, "A man who hears the Tao, laughs loudly, and does not laugh at him. People with the lowest realm do not understand the mystery of the Tao, but instead laughs at him."
The classroom was silent, and everyone fell into thinking. They all felt that what Chen Feiyu said was reasonable. At least, it was more in line with the context than Teacher Duan’s explanation just now, and it could also confirm with other sentences in the Tao Te Ching.
The surprise in Teacher Duan's eyes became stronger and stronger. I have to admit that what Chen Feiyu said makes sense, at least he can justify himself.
She pondered slightly and continued, "Since you talk about heaven and earth, I remember another sentence in the "Tao Te Ching", 'Is it like a slight thorn between heaven and earth? It is empty but unyielding, and moving more and more. It is better to keep the middle than to talk too much or too much."
The world is like a big bellows, which looks empty but never exhausted. The more it stirs, the more winds it will stir. It is used to describe the faster the ruler's government orders are issued and the faster the defeat will be. It is better to maintain a state of tranquility in the middle. Isn't this a discussion on the method of governing the country?"
Chen Feiyu chuckled and said, "Your sentence is wrong again. There is a big bellows between heaven and earth. When the bellows are pushed and pulled, there will be wind up and down, which means that there is yin and yang energy between heaven and earth.
The so-called "harmony between man and nature", the universe, the human body is small, and the universe, and the universe is full of yin and yang, the human body is naturally no exception. When a person exhales and inhales, there will be qi and blood circulation up and down, corresponding to the yin and yang of heaven and earth, so '海' refers to the breathing of a person.
As for the saying "If you are empty but unyielding, you will become more and more out of your movement. It is better to keep the middle than to talk too much, so you will be able to keep the middle" by practicing. People who practice speak their mouths and their tongues will be dissipated. When they speak, their spirits and energy will be dissipated in the dark, so they naturally need to maintain a state of silence and tranquility."
Everyone was surprised. This was the first time they heard this explanation, but they had to admit that it was definitely more in line with the context than Teacher Duan's explanation. For them, it seemed to have opened up a new world.
He Xianglin was stunned. No, Chen Feiyu could even fully understand such an obscure book as "Tao Te Ching"?
Teacher Duan became more and more surprised. Chen Feiyu’s words were impeccable. At least, she couldn’t find a place to refute. Could it be that Chen Feiyu’s explanation was correct?
She couldn't help but feel a little curious about Chen Feiyu, the "student".
