We often hear the word metaphysics in our daily lives, but most people don’t know what metaphysics means.
The reason why metaphysics is called metaphysics comes from the first chapter of "Tao Te Ching": Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao; names can be named, but they are not famous. The beginning of the nameless heaven and earth, the name of the mother of all things. Therefore, always have no desire in order to observe its wonderfulness, and always have desire in order to observe its pleasure. These two have the same origin but different names. They are both called xuan.
So what does metaphysics mean? It's a very wonderful thing, a door to all wonders. For example, the song sings well, missing is a very mysterious thing, and it says that love is wonderful.
What does metaphysics mean? What is metaphysics? Broadly speaking, the end of science is metaphysics. All things that cannot be explained by science are metaphysics. You see, many scientists eventually believe in metaphysics. There is the famous Newton abroad, and Yang Zhenning domestically. They all believe that there is a creator.
What is metaphysics? In a narrow sense, since metaphysics comes from the Tao Te Ching, metaphysics is a doctrine related to Taoism . In fact, metaphysics in the traditional sense refers to the five Taoist arts and fortune telling by mountain doctors.
Mountain means cultivating immortals, and people and mountains together are the word immortal, so many people go to the mountains to practice Taoism. We often hear that someone has ascended to heaven during the day, and has become an immortal, but we have never seen it with our own eyes. Therefore, cultivating immortals is very mysterious, and it is the number one discipline in metaphysics.
Medicine refers to medical skills. Of course, the medical skills here refer to traditional Chinese medicine. Western medicine only exists if it can be seen, so they have anatomy , but the meridian theory in traditional Chinese medicine has not been found in the human body after hundreds of years of dissection. There are meridians, but meridians do exist, otherwise how can acupuncture cure diseases? So this thing is very mysterious.
Meridians are not the most mysterious thing in Chinese medicine. I don’t know if you have heard of Zhu Youshu. It means that as long as a certain expert chants a mantra, your illness will be cured. I personally experienced such a thing when I was a child. Several children When we were playing together, a child hit his forehead on a brick, causing a big hole and blood spurting out. His grandmother ran over and drew an unknown symbol on the hole, then muttered something, and the bleeding stopped at that time. Later, I thought about it carefully and realized that it was Zhu Youshu.
In fact, there is also a well-known Zhu Youshu among the people. You will often find a note posted on the telephone pole with four lines of poetry written on it: Emperor of Heaven, Emperor of Earth, I have a man in my house Ye Crying Man , A gentleman passing by reads this three times and sleeps until dawn. This is the Zhuyou technique for treating children’s night cries. So this Chinese medicine is really mysterious.
Fortune-telling means fortune-telling. Once you report your birth date, a certain half-immortal can calculate when you will die, how many children you will have, what official position you will have, and how much wealth you will make. You can say it is mysterious or not. In fact, his horoscope is equivalent to DNA in Western medicine.
Phaseology refers to looking at faces, including human faces, earth faces, and heavenly faces. The human phase also includes the face and palms, the earth phase is Feng Shui, including the yang house and the yin house, etc. The celestial phase is the stars, wind, clouds, thunderstorms, etc. that can be seen by observing the sky at night. Some great gods know that the emperor is about to die by observing the sky at night. Do you think it is mysterious or not? . It is said that Zhuge Liang was very good at reading the sky. The Battle of Chibi and Thatched Boat Borrowing Arrows were all the results of his fortune-telling.
Divination is divination, The Book of Changes is a classic of divination. Many movies like to say a line, I count with my fingers. This counting with fingers is a technique in divination, called Xiao Liuren. Just count with your fingers and you will suffer a bloody disaster, you say it is mysterious or not.
