Chapter 390 Imperial Study Room
There are three levels of bookshelves on the four sides integrated with the walls. The first level is filled with suet-fat jade books, all of which are sage classics written in seal script.
They were all carved and inscribed one by one by Ying Yi himself.
"Book of Changes", "Spring and Autumn", "The Book of Songs", "Tao Te Ching", "Zhuangzi", "Shangshu", "Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean"...all these.
The pages of the jade book are undoubtedly as thin as paper, and there are fans of Yuanfu cloud patterns, which are exquisite and delicate, and are more works of art than works of art.
The current era and current status do not allow Ying Yi to have more leisure. Yuan Qi's plan takes "The Book of Changes" as its mother. In order to have a deeper understanding of its principles, Ying Yi will read and understand the "Book of Changes" over and over as long as he has time.
Yi is the source of hundreds of schools of thought. In order to have a deeper understanding of the principles of "Yi", Ying Yi's reading scope will expand accordingly. Whether it's Taoist or Confucian, Ying Yi has been able to read through all the classics without any problems over the years.
With the strength of his soul, the so-called photographic memory is easy to do. But not forgetting does not mean fully understanding the truth. Every time I read the sage's subtle words and great meaning, I have a different understanding. The more you understand, the more you will understand the profoundness of Zhu Xia's civilization, and the more you will be able to appreciate the breadth and depth of Yuan Qi's plan.
Reading, memorizing, understanding, and practicing the principles in the book while governing this huge empire made Ying Yi truly sublimated - spiritual sublimation.
Today, Ying Yi can proudly say that he is wise.
Every jade book on the first floor bookshelf was hand-carved word by word after Ying Yi had a deep understanding. He keeps them here, ready to read and understand.
The jade plate on the second floor bookshelf is the Five Elements Talisman that Ying Yi has understood the basic mystery of.
In Ying Yi's view, writing is the carrier of civilization, and Yuan Fu is just like the writing of heaven and earth, and is the carrier of the truth between heaven and earth.
There are a total of 6,480 talismans in the Five Elements Talisman. Now, Ying Yi has understood the basic principles of more than 1,500 talismans.
These more than 1,500 Taoist talismans were all inscribed one by one by Ying Yi on a jade plate three inches long and two inches wide. This is what Ying Yi was doing at Fangcheng Mountain in Nanyang.
There are more than 1,500 talismans that can be put into writing, which is the most complete in the imperial study. Yuan Qi Temple also has a set of methods, but there are only more than 800 ways, which is enough for the worshipers of Yuan Qi Temple to study. After all, they are not Ying Yi, and their understanding of Yuan Fu is far from adequate. Up to now, Master Zhang, who has the deepest understanding of Yuan Fu and the most knowledge, is only as good as Baidao.
Naturally, the simplification of Yuan Fu mainly focuses on the first hundred sub-talents of the Five Elements Yuan Fu. And it has not yet entered the education system - the empire has been established for nearly three years, but the education system has not yet been fully developed. Of course, the earliest new-style students, such as those in Henan and Gyeonggi areas, have not yet completed their free studies, and have not yet reached the level where they can be exposed to simplified Yuan Fu.
Currently, those who are qualified to have access to the simplified Yuan Talisman are all members of the Yuan Qi Palace. Worshiped by monks, or master craftsmen.
In addition, basic simplified Yuanfu classics have been stored in Taixue. If officials in the court are interested and have time, Ying Yi also encourages them to take a look.
After all, their basic quality has reached the corresponding level. Whether it is physical strength or spiritual strength.
Of course, in addition to the classics of sages and the Five Xing Yuan Fu on the bookshelves, there are also "Martial Classics", "Yuan Qi Law", "Da Xia Law", "Da Xia Military Law" and existing Yuan ware manufacturing plans, etc.
But the most important thing in the imperial study is not these classics. The classics can be placed in other places, not necessarily in this place that is tightly sealed by Ying Yi.
The most important thing here is what's on the altar.
This altar is the altar of humanity. Earlier, the Terrace of Humanity was located in Nanyang, but when the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was transferred by Ying Yi to the Temple of Heaven. Now he has already moved it to the imperial study room.
Of course, the human platform in the Temple of Heaven is still useful - it can still be used to enshrine Chi You's flag. But beyond that, there's no other use.
This is the true identity of the Humanity Platform.
The big tripod with three legs, two ears, a square mouth and a round belly on the Human Way Platform is the Human Way Ding that was transformed into the National Destiny, and it can also be called the Xia Ding. The humane national destiny of the Daxia Empire.
This tripod is not all shaped by humane and national destiny as imagined. In fact, it is made of another newly developed alloy - earth alloy, which is used to carry the national destiny of humanity.
Xia Ding, the manifestation of humanity and national destiny, is lifelike to the naked eye, but it is not something substantial.
The golden mist puffed out from the Xia Cauldron is the energy of national destiny, or the dragon energy of human nature. The manifestation of national destiny is closely related to people's cognition. If people under human nature subconsciously believe that the destiny of the country is like a dragon and regard the dragon as a totem, then the manifestation of the destiny of the country is the dragon. If it is thought to be the phoenix, then the manifestation of the national destiny will naturally be the phoenix.
The national destiny of Daxia is dominated by Ying Yi. When Ying Yi founded the country, he did not explicitly designate the dragon as a totem. Even the clothes he usually wears rarely have dragon patterns, but mostly Yuanfu cloud patterns.
Ying Yi subconsciously believed that the tripod was the most important weapon of the country, so the humane national destiny was manifested in the tripod. However, many people still have some inherent cognitions left over from the previous dynasty, so Xia Ding's energy of national destiny is still soaring like a dragon.
Here, Ying Yi has his own understanding of totems. Before traveling to this era, when Ying Yi was a teenager, he, like many people, believed that Zhu Xia was a dragon. Later, as an adult, I gradually learned that this was not the case.
The existence of totem recognition has changed through the ages. For example, the totem of Qiang Qin is the black bird, not the dragon. A strong man is not a dragon either. In other words, in the Han Dynasty and before, the dragon was not the only totem, but the phoenix was superior to the dragon.
For example, in the case of Great Shang, the mysterious bird of destiny descended and gave birth to Shang. Another example is Zongzhou, which is called Fengming Qishan. In the more ancient records, the dragon is a kind of existence that is raised by people, but the phoenix is not. The phoenix is a born god, born with five virtues.
There was the Dragon Clan, who raised dragons for the co-lord at that time. The same goes for the Yulong clan.
So in more ancient times, dragons were not noble.
As for the tripod, ever since the legend of King Yu controlling the floods and casting the tripod to subdue the Nine Provinces began, the tripod has become synonymous with the country and is a truly important weapon.
Therefore, Ying Yi understood that the tripod was the manifestation of the national destiny, not the dragon or anything else.
One foot high and three feet wide, the humanitarian platform in all directions is not majestic to begin with, but under the backdrop of the humanitarian national destiny, it has an extremely majestic and sacred atmosphere.
That tripod is Daxia, and the Humanity Platform is as thick and broad as the land of China that carries Daxia.
The tripod is nine feet two inches high and nine feet two inches wide. At first glance, it seems to have unparalleled power, immeasurable heaviness and stability!
Ying Yi slowly stepped onto the humanitarian platform, the national destiny was boiling with excitement, and dragons and snakes stopped their fans. He stood in front of Xia Ding, looking up at the three-foot-diameter black-yellow metal ball. He slowly stretched out his hand, and wisps of blood like the blazing sun spat out on his fingertips.
