Tech Life Chapter 1401-1402

Chapter 1401

In this era of money grabbing, talent grabbing era, which has so much effort and those whose minds are still in the primitive society grinding, grinding, good resources are all taken up, good talent are snatched up, and finally crying can not find the ground.


There is no doubt that the future of the technology group this time the top of the list is remarkable, this is the result that Li Linfei wants, the future of the technology group has developed to this scale and today's influence, the same to take the initiative to carry the flag.


Passive absorption of talent for the future development of the company is meaningless, to a certain extent will have to take the initiative to open arms, take the initiative to absorb talent, but also in the global scope of the wide range of talent for their own use.


On the evening of the 17th, Li Linfei was preparing to leave for Xiangzhong tomorrow morning when he received a personal phone call.


It was a personal call from the president of Yan University, and the content was, well, an invitation for Li Linfei to attend a speaking event at Kyoto University, and it was a speaking event.


This news was very surprising to Ye Hua, although there were many universities and colleges in China that had sent him invitations, but this call was very different, now that Tsinghua had also gone, it was not justifiable for Yan University not to go.


"No problem, I'll fly to Yanjing first thing tomorrow morning."


Looks like we won't be able to go back tomorrow again, so let's continue.


......


The next morning would have gone home, but Li Linfei's special plane departed early to fly to the north, this trip must go, not to go after all kinds of trouble like a shadow, like walking on thin ice.


The reason he decided to go on the phone was because the president of Yan University had called him personally.


How did he know this private number? Someone must have told him, and Li Linfei had already guessed roughly when the call was made.


......


Morning, Yan University.


At the event, there were more than two thousand people in the wide indoor hall.


The stage layout was simple, a catwalk, two seats, a bottle of water, a host and a guest was Li Linfei.


Once the opening process was over, Li Linfei picked up the microphone and looked at the scene and said with a smile: "I just learned from my private conversation with the host that most of the students who came to the scene today are not technical men, so it is very difficult to communicate with them about anything. "


I Ching? The Yan University students in the audience were immediately curious, each said live a long time to see, you are a big man of science and technology, how can you get involved with something like the I Ching and gossip?


Li Linfei suddenly laughed: see the amazed eyes of all of you here I have the bottom, everyone seems to be interested in this, interested in the right thing, only then will not sleep."


"I think as soon as you hear the I Ching, the vast majority of people immediately think of divination and fortune telling ...... I don't know how many people have read the I Ching, those who have, please raise your hands."


At once, a third of the people on the floor raised their hands.


Li Linfei: "Students who think they have read the I Ching, please raise your hands ......" Very few.


After taking a sip of water, Li Linfei formally stepped into the rhythm and said, "The I Ching, sprawling but 4,000 words, is raw and difficult to understand, but I suggest that you all must read it, not only read it, but also go and draw the trigrams."


"When you say the I Ching you have to start with the ancient Fuxi 7,000 years ago, Fuxi opened the sky with a drawing, so it is called Fuxi Bagua, in fact the eight trigrams are just the base, but the 64 trigrams, just do a mathematical table, 8,864 trigrams."


"If you read the I Ching and draw the trigrams yourself to understand them you will see that our writing, the square characters, originally evolved from the eight trigrams figure, I am not making this up, it is based on fact."


"The I Ching is the oldest classic in our country, the 'first of the group of scriptures' also the 'beginning of the group of scriptures' also the 'source of culture' of our nation, if there is a map of the genes of the Chinese nation, it is the I Ching."


"The I Ching was not written by Fuxi alone, but was created collectively from the time of Fuxi in ancient times, seven thousand years ago, through Fuxi's drawing of the trigrams, King Wen of Zhou's re-telling of the trigrams, Zhou Gong's lines and later Confucius' revision into a scripture, which is what we now see as the I Ching."


"The I Ching talks about a few thousand words but is all-encompassing and has been integrated into all areas of our Chinese nation's politics, economy, culture, life and customs for thousands of years."


"More and more scientists both at home and abroad are now promoting the I Ching, and there have been several Nobel Prize-winning scientists who have penetrated the I Ching before this."


"Before I get into the main topic I have to emphasise repeatedly that the I Ching is not a superstitious book that can only be used for divination and fortune telling as people stereotypically think, it is actually all-encompassing."


"The I Ching is the 'Tao' and divination is the 'Art'. In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, there was no market for the 'Tao' at that time, and the major vassal states were obsessed with the 'Art', such as the art of zheng and zheng."


"Back when Emperor Qin Shi Huang burned the ancient books, the I Ching was treated as a nonsense book of divination with little use and escaped death, so I feel really lucky."


"Now I ask you all, what ancient scriptures do foreigners currently hold in high esteem in our China? Probably everyone will think of The Art of War in the first instance, after all, what with West Point including The Art of War as a compulsory course and some business schools in the West making it compulsory to study The Art of War."


"Even some American dramas have boards inside to get footage of this "The Art of War" and probably heard Napoleon sighing longingly when he first saw "The Art of War", if he had seen this masterpiece earlier he wouldn't have lost so badly."


"The Art of War is of course well known in the world, but it has been over-exaggerated by the media, and today I will dispel this rumour for you, no, it is the I Ching, which contains the essence of The Art of War."


"Now those foreigners so-called experts on Chinese issues, they can never really understand us Chinese as long as they can't comprehend the I Ching, to see through us fundamentally, reading a 4,000-word I Ching is enough."


"Then many people are worried, if the I Ching is the genetic code of the Chinese nation, won't the foreigners really study us all if they penetrate it? Wouldn't that be great bad news? It has to be banned!"


Chapter 1402

"I think this worry is superfluous, the greatest characteristic of the I Ching is its tolerance, it is all encompassing and all-embracing, there is nothing to fear, what is the saying? The best way to eliminate your enemy is to turn him into your person."


"When a foreigner penetrates the I Ching he becomes a Chinese, if you don't believe me go and see the foreigners who really understand us, none of them are obsessed with studying our classical culture."


"Diving headlong into it for a decade or even a lifetime, he falls into the pit and never comes back up, and he is not very willing to come up himself, the more he studies it the more he feels intoxicated and happy with it."


"Some Westerners who get Chinese nationality still have Chinese skin and Western bones, while some foreign scholars who have penetrated the I Ching have become Western skin and Chinese bones, while some Westerners who have penetrated the I Ching and got Chinese nationality have been transformed into Chinese people, with their skin and bones."


"Many people wonder why China suffered from foreign invasion in ancient times, and was Sinicised away after a short time after entering the Middle Kingdom?"


"This doubt, if you read the I Ching, you will know that this is the inevitable result."


"Westerners are black and white, very rigid, while we are black can be white, white can be black, black is white, white is black, black and white can be transformed into each other or reversed, not rigid at all, very flexible, very elastic."


"We all say that great loyalty is like treachery, great falsehood is like truth, don't go for these literal meanings, the five senses often deceive people, especially the eyes, you have to go for the truth that is interpreted behind the words, the truth is always behind the words."


"The truth behind it is that we think in relative terms, that's why there are idioms like this, great loyalty is like treachery, great hypocrisy is like truth, is it positive or negative? Sometimes it's positive, sometimes it's not."


"Whereas Western thinking is absolute, one is rigid, the other flexible and nimble."


"So Westerners are actually very ambivalent when it comes to the I Ching, they are afraid that after they fall into this pit their values will be completely crumbled and then reshaped by subtlety, in a nutshell: the I Ching has the ability to Hanify everything."


"We Chinese are up now and it's getting to the point where the West has to study us in depth, but you study you're afraid of the three views breaking down and you can't do without it, this and that, it's over!"


"So they are now massively torn, on the one hand they want to really understand our genes so they can find a way to deal with it, on the other hand they are afraid of being handiworked out by you." Li Linfei light-hearted humor, while the scene of the college students can not help but laugh a lot, but really so, a little swell to say. ......


Li Linfei does have a talent for speaking, everyone was originally amazed that he was speaking about the I Ching as a tech guru, which was fascinating, and had thought he was making it up, but speaking about the I Ching from his mouth was also a whole new perspective.


On stage, Li Linfei was titanic and eloquent: "It is inevitable to say that the I Ching is inseparable from Confucius, because the greatest contribution of Confucius' life was to put together the I Ching and fix it into a scripture, raising it from a book of divination to become a scripture of philosophy."


"The philosophy of the I Ching is completely practicable in real everyday life; its difficulty or ease lies in the fact that the people use it every day without knowing it; in fact, every one of us uses it every day, anytime, anywhere."


"It's just that we forget about him because after all, it's 7,000 years away from us, and people scare you off by saying that the I Ching is difficult, that it's impossible for you to penetrate it."


"And indeed when you have to go through it again you find that there are many words in it that you don't know at all, and even if you do know the words but you simply don't understand their original meaning, you are stuck there puzzling over them."


"For example, in the I Ching, it says, 'When you see a group of dragons without a head, it's auspicious', and many people are confused, confused, how can a group of dragons without a head be auspicious? Is there a mistake? Obviously not, a mistake so obvious would not be a mistake, it would be a misreading."


"So there are some texts that you really don't recognise because it's really dead, those texts are dead texts, so we're going to share and exchange and cut through some of these originals that have had a very profound impact on us today in easy to understand modern language and with our ideas and insights today."


"The I Ching is really the source of all things, the root starting point of everything in our Chinese nation comes from here, but with the time we have in this short talk, it is impossible to finish such a vast and subtle, profound and all-encompassing ancient scripture as the I Ching, time is limited."


"You really have to penetrate a trigram for hours, just the first trigram 'Qian Gua' is enough to give you a few days to penetrate it, because it can be used in all aspects, in all walks of life."


"The most crucial point to be made about the I Ching is not because he wrote the sutra into a book, but because he thoroughly penetrated the I Ching and passed on his practice and the results of his practice to millions of future generations of our Chinese nation, which is an inestimable treasure."


"What is this wealth? Confucius summed it all up in one sentence about himself when he said, "I am ten and five years old and set my mind on learning, thirty and standing, forty and not confused, fifty and knowing the will of heaven, sixty and having ears to hear, seventy and following my heart and not overstepping the rules."


"As I said earlier, the I Ching is perfectly fine to actually practice in everyday life, so what is the fruit of Confucius' practice? It can be found in the Analects, it's all there."


"In fact, the Analects that your teachers taught you in primary and secondary school were all wrong and skewed; your primary and secondary school teachers did not teach you the real Analects."


When Li Linfei said this, the students on the floor were full of questions, the Analects they had learnt for so many years was a fake one?


Well, you are the big man, so let's listen to you first.


The university students who were present today and knew Li Linfei realised that he was a god of both literature and science, needless to say in science, a great expert in technology, but today for the first time they saw that he was actually so capable of literature, so he should not be lying.


At this point, Li Linfei's tone was calm and smooth as he eloquently said, "Why do you say it's all in the Analects of Confucius?"


"Ten have five and set their minds to learning" corresponds to the practical outcome of learning and practicing, not also saying."


"Xi here is not a review or revision, but means habit, and Confucius says that after learning, one goes into practice and develops habits, and I am very happy and joyful."


"What's the use of learning a whole lot that's useless? It's also a waste of time, can you be happy? Can you still be happy? Isn't that the truth?"
