"Brother Ding'an, I actually didn't understand what you are talking about. This is how we Eastern wise men are best at giving examples? Can you give a simple example to briefly illustrate the differences between Eastern and Western philosophy, and why do you think Eastern philosophy is better?"

"this……"

After thinking for a while, Old Shi said, "For example, you are heartbroken by your friend Xiangping now..."

Li Xiangping said angrily: "Get out, you've just broken up. How could I have broken up if I do this?"

Lao Shi smiled and said, "Okay, okay, if you don't lose your love, then let's change one. For example, your good friend Zhao Daokai is now in love, how would you persuade him if you little friend Xiangping?"

"this……."

Before Li Xiangping could speak, Lao Shi continued, "I guess with the habits of Xiangping's friends, I would probably say "There is no fragrant grass everywhere in the world"?"

Li Xiangping laughed: "Haha, it's extreme." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After Li Xiangping smiled, Lao Shi continued to say, "My friend of Xiangping, please think carefully. This sentence "There is no fragrant grass everywhere in the world" is actually a typical Western philosophical thinking. It is a big truth that can withstand any logical deduction. However, if you continue to think deeply, is this statement really useful to people who are heartbroken?"

"this……."

Li Xiangping couldn't speak again because to be honest, words like "There is no fragrant grass in the world" are simply ineffective for those who are truly heartbroken.

I would like to take Zhao Daokai out and say that every time Li Xiangping said this to him in his previous life, since this sentence was of course completely correct in ideals, Zhao Daokai felt it was completely correct when he heard it, so he decided to completely forget his previous relationship.

But did Zhao Daokai really forget it?

Well, most of the time he really forgot about it, it was like the saying "There is no fragrant grass everywhere in the world" really worked.

Only the longest time he dated was that guy had been dating a top-quality green tea for 4 years before breaking up. Then the sentence "There is no fragrant grass everywhere" had no effect. It took Zhao Daokai a long time to get out.

What does this example show? In fact, it shows that "there is no grass everywhere in the world" full of Western philosophical thinking cannot solve all problems, especially this kind of "heart" problem-------

Zhao Daokai was really moved at that time, so the sentence "There is no fragrant grass everywhere" was completely ineffective.

Li Xiangping said, "Then, how should we persuade us to use our oriental philosophical thinking?"

Lao Shi sighed: "If you use Eastern philosophy, you will not advise you at all. At most, you will only... Yes, as Mr. Yi'an said: This feeling is impossible to eliminate, and you will only be in your heart."

Li Xiangping stayed silently, quietly recalling Lao Shi's words just now-----

Although he is a poor student, he is a poor student in the junior high school in the Department of Philosophy at Peking University, so he can still understand the meaning of Lao Shi's example:

This is actually the difference between "mind" and "heart" in philosophy. Western philosophy starts from the mind, so it is very rational. Just like "there is no grass everywhere in the world."

Through thousands of years of development, ancient Chinese philosophy has gone from the "Hundred Schools of Thoughts in the Pre-Qin period" to the Han Dynasty, then the "Wei and Jin Metaphysics", then to the "New Confucianism" that merged with the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, until the emergence of the "Yangming Heart Science" unique to Chinese culture in the late Ming Dynasty. This context clearly illustrates one problem, that is, the mind or the heart, which one is more terrifying?

The answer to Eastern philosophy is: the heart is even more terrifying.

When we face the challenges of our destiny, what we are tested is not the problem of our mind, but the power of our mind.

Where does the power of the mind come from? The power of the mind comes from the growth and sublimation of our life emotions. This power cannot be learned from Western philosophical works with the brain, but can only be nourished by reading the great humanistic classics of our nation until our hearts are as big as heaven.

"Oh, Yangming's heart study, it's a pity, Brother Ding'an, these are all good things you did in the Qing Dynasty."

"hey-hey."

Yangming's study of mind is basically the pinnacle of Chinese classical philosophy, and is even qualified to become a new Taoist sect.

One of the major historical reasons why Yangming's mind science failed to dominate the world is that the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains. The Qing Dynasty replaced the prime minister system with military yamen and military rule, and interrupted the path of intellectuals' care for the world.

It is no exaggeration to say that one of the reasons why Japan dared to invade our China back then was because of Yangming's Heart Studies.

History books tell us that Japan became stronger through the Meiji Restoration and systematically learned the West. However, a fact, although the West has strengthened the muscles of Japan through systematic learning, everyone knows that Japan has always had an instinctive fear of China.

How did they overcome this fear? In fact, it was through Yangming’s Mind Learning.

Everyone knows that during the Meiji Restoration in Japan, Yangming's Mind Studies was actually quite popular in Japan. So when it comes to invading China, those Japanese who knew Yangming's Mind Studies jumped up and spoke. They said it was okay, our neighbor was no longer a dignified central empire representing advanced culture. They actually put a good Yangming's Mind Studies without using it, and they also adopted the outdated "New Confucianism". Even in the outdated "New Confucianism", they actually abandoned the essence and took the dross, so they could do it with confidence and boldness...

So it can be said that by learning from the West, this strengthens the Japanese body, and then through Yangming's mind study, this solves the "heart" problem of the Japanese.

Overcoming their fears, giving them a courage, and even helping them unify their thoughts, which caused such a long period of suffering for our nation.-----

The reason why this incident is rarely mentioned in the academic and theoretical circles in later generations is easy to understand. In later generations, our country also chose a kind of materialism from the West to arm the mind, while Yangming's mind study is idealism, so it is not easy to promote.

At least there is no good way to promote it before completing the fusion.

Second, the little Japanese are much more cunning than Bangzi. If Bangzi learns Yangming’s mind, it would be fine. They will directly announce that Wang Yangming is a Korean and then jump up and down in front of the Chinese.

However, the Japanese would not do this. They would learn from one of our ancestors' practices. For example, during the Han Dynasty, a practice called "Confucianism outside and law inside" was quietly absorbed by Yangming's mind, and then made a large-scale transformation to arm their minds.

"Oh~ Brother Ding'an, although I roughly understand what you mean, it's useless. I also admit that the heart is more terrifying than the mind. But when facing a powerful dog, I feel that even if I emphasize the power of the mind, it will be just a bowl of chicken soup for me."

Lao Shi smiled and said, "Don't you care about chicken soup? I'll ask you if the dogs we've seen still have weaknesses?"

"Of course, dogs still have weaknesses. They are still far from the chess god, there is no doubt about this."

"Then let me ask you again, if you continue to deepen the application of pure Western philosophy, it will certainly create a more powerful dog, but can pure Western philosophy really create a chess god?"

"This... should be impossible."

Li Xiangping paused and smiled and said, "Brother Ding'an, I understand what you mean. Do you think that if you want to develop a dog that is really close to the chess god, it may be an algorithm that contains Eastern philosophical thinking, right? Hey, Eastern philosophical thinking algorithm."

"My friend Xiangping, I'll ask you again, do you think this algorithm may appear?"

"I think this is still possible."

“Why is it possible?”

“Nothing,”

Li Xiangping smiled and said, "Because our Eastern culture has a characteristic, a characteristic that Western philosophy does not have, that is, inclusiveness and learning from others' strengths. In other words, Eastern philosophy can accommodate Western philosophy, but Western philosophy cannot do it. They have strong exclusivity and are habitually considered to be either white or black, either this or that."

Lao Shi said: "It's the most. In fact, in my opinion, Western philosophy is domineering. Just like the dogs we have seen, bullying others with power, they are extremely powerful. However, our Chinese civilization practices the kingly way. The kingly way can be compatible with the domineering, but the domineering cannot merge the kingly way. Therefore, the kingly way will surely defeat the domineering, and I never doubt this."

Li Xiangping nodded repeatedly and said, "It's the extreme, just like the year when Brother Ding'an came through. Brother Ding'an, I have a premonition that the year when you came through should be a meaningful year. It will definitely leave a brilliant mark in human history. Historians in 100 years and 300 years later may mention this year repeatedly."

"Oh, why, because I came here."

"Haha, of course not, you think too much of yourself."

Li Xiangping laughed: "Brother Ding'an, you may not know that in the year you came through, the largest domineering country in the world officially started a war against us. Although they adopted a seemingly gentle trade war, I thought it was a desperate showdown, a real battle between kingly and domineering. Although I firmly believe that the kingly way will win, it is unlikely to be achieved overnight. It will definitely be a long contest... Hahaha, I won't say it anymore..." -------

Speaking of this, even Li Xiangping herself is a bit funny. If you can talk about the inevitable battle between China and the United States in the future from "there is no grass everywhere" to the inevitable battle for hegemony in the future, then only those who study philosophy may have the ability.

After stopping in time, Li Xiangping continued:

"Okay, Brother Ding'an, although your opinion on dog fighting is actually like chicken soup, I have drunk this bowl of chicken soup today. Anyway, there are still seven years left. Since the strategic problem has been solved, the rest is tactics. We still have 7 years to find tactics to deal with dogs. Let's stop here today."

"Oh, why don't you chat? But I'm having a lot of chatting..."

"No, no," Li Xiangping interrupted his plug-in and said:

"I have some private matter tomorrow, so let me solve this matter first."

"Private affairs? Is it the matter of your Yaya girl?"

“Yes.”

Li Xiangping smiled and said, "Didn't you often say that if you don't clean a house, you can wipe out the world? Now I'm cleaning my own house first, and then focusing on fighting with you."

On the second day, Yaya was a little restless from the early morning, especially in the afternoon of that day, when she received a call from Li Xiangping that he had already left and arrived at their school immediately, Yaya was even more restless and had no idea how Li Xiangping would "chase her".

The Central Academy of Drama, located in the old city of Xicheng, is actually very small, so Yaya stayed in the dormitory and looked out.

Half an hour later, she saw the familiar car, which was the Mercedes-Benz that Lin Yiran gave to Li Xiangping when Li Xiangping was admitted to college.

The door of the cab opened first, and a hint of disappointment flashed across Yaya, because it was Zhao Daokai who drove today.

Then soon, Li Xiangping drove out of the back seat.

This guy stood in the small courtyard of the Central Academy of Drama, and waved to the girls' dormitory unscrupulously in public, in full view of everyone:

"Yaya, come down quickly."

"Oh oh come..."

So Yaya ran down in a panic.
Chapter completed!
