"Because he believes in God, he can only be arrested"

Life in the story? "Because he believes in God, he can only be caught" and "Yin and Yang teachers are afraid of ignorance"

"Because he believes in God, he can only be arrested" is a folk story. The story says that at the foot of a quiet mountain, there is a shabby little temple with a stone statue in it. In front of the temple is a path, and there is a stream not far from the path. On weekdays, pedestrians can cross the stream in one step, so there is no bridge on the stream.

One day, a strong man passed by and caught up with the heavy rain at night. The stream was flooded and it was impossible to cross it. He was in a dilemma and suddenly found the statue in the small temple, so he lifted it without hesitation and threw it into the middle of the stream, making a stepping stone and crossing the stream smoothly. One day later, a farmer passed by and found that the idol was a stepping stone. He is very emotional and thinks it is blasphemy. He devoutly fished out the idol from the river, took it to the temple and put it on the throne.

When he got home at night, the farmer had a stomachache, and the more it hurt, the worse it got. He went to see several doctors, but none of them were cured. He was in pain for several days and couldn't get up. Later, a fortune teller told him that he had offended the gods and could burn some paper money in the temple. He quickly asked his wife to burn incense and paper in the small temple at the foot of the mountain, and it will soon be all right.

When the land god saw this scene, he was puzzled and asked the stone statue, "You muddy god, no matter good or bad, the brave man who threw you into the river should be punished, but you ignored it;" The farmer who rescued you from the shore should have been rewarded, but you gave him a stomachache and punished him for burning paper and incense for you. What is the reason? "

The stone god smiled and replied, "You are just a little god who defends the soil. You don't know anything. For that strong man, he doesn't believe in Shinto at all. Shinto has nothing to do with him, and we cannot punish him. " And the farmer who fished me out, he is a devout believer, and Shinto can only work on him. Because he believes in God, he can only be arrested. "

The story of "Yin and Yang teachers are afraid of ignorance" comes from Hu Linyi Xu Ceng Guoquan, a modern bibliophile named Liu Tizhi. According to this story, there are two brothers. My brother doesn't believe in yin and yang ghosts and gods, and there is nothing taboo, but my brother is superstitious. What he says and does depends on the solar calendar, and he can only do things if he seeks the luck of Yin and Yang. The two brothers acted according to their own way of life, but nothing bad happened. Time passed day by day, and a few years passed. My brother felt that he had always adhered to the ghosts and gods of Yin and Yang, and he was too bound. He was cautious and could not let go of his hands and feet, which was very painful. Look at my brother, everything is forgiven. Why not go out? Don't break ground for money. He completely ignored it. He can do whatever he wants and go out whenever he wants. He is free and enviable. So my brother wants to learn from his brother and live a more chic life. One day, my brother was uncharacteristic. He didn't look up the almanac. He got up at dawn and went to town. On the way, suddenly a tall and ugly black man appeared in the middle of the road and blocked his way. He took it over and saw that it was the black star that Yin and Yang said specifically blocked people's way and prevented people from traveling. The black star shouted, "Why do you want to go out when it is clearly written in the yellow calendar not to travel?" Go back! "

The younger brother complained bitterly and asked, "I follow my brother, why should I be responsible for it alone?" I learned it from my brother, so this time you stopped me without looking at the zodiac. My brother doesn't care about this at all. He wants to go out. Why didn't you stop him?

"Your brother is ignorant," said the black star. "Yin and Yang are afraid of ignorance and have to avoid it. If you dare not obey me, Hu can disobey your orders. " It means that your brother is ignorant and doesn't understand the truth of Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang are afraid of ignorance, so they can only avoid him and dare not stop him. And you believe in yin and yang and dare not violate it, then how can you violate it!

The black star stood in front, and my brother couldn't pass, so he had to turn around and go home.

It is said that the person who fabricated this story was Hu Linyi, a famous minister of Zhongxing in Qing Dynasty. At that time, Zeng Guofan's younger brother Ceng Guoquan led the Qing army to suppress the Taiping rebels. After conquering Anqing, he wanted to lead the army eastward and besiege Nanjing. However, at that time, the Yangtze River waterway was not completely controlled by the Qing army, and most areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were still in the hands of the Taiping Army. Ceng Guoquan was afraid that he would suffer alone, so he dared not enter rashly. However, Anqing has been captured, and if we don't take advantage of the situation to March, it will provide the Taiping Army with an opportunity to fight back, and it is likely that all previous efforts will be wasted. While he was hesitating, Hu Linyi wrote to Ceng Guoquan to cheer him up, so he told the above story. After the story was finished, Hu Linyi enlightened Ceng Guoquan according to the situation and said, "Ignorance is enough for everyone in the world. In the past, I have achieved great success. " It means that only ignorant people can achieve great things in the world. Although you March and besiege Nanjing, you will succeed. Ceng Guoquan accepted Hu Linyi's suggestion and entered Nanjing, which was a great success.

The author's testimony: the first short story, people who don't believe in God and take God as a stepping stone, God can't take him and can't punish him; Those who believe in God and protect him will be punished by God. From this point of view, even if there is a God, God is not worthy of fear, because he is a guy who does not distinguish between good and bad, bullies and fears hard, and bites the hand that feeds him. You are kind to him, but he hurts you. What's the use of respecting him? The second story, the brother who doesn't believe in God is free, and God is afraid of him and dare not stop him; The brother who believed in God was bound and went out once without authorization, but was stopped by the dark Lord and had to return.

These two short stories tell people that God only works for those who believe in God, but there is nothing God can do for those who don't believe in God. Farmers often say, "I believe in God, but I don't believe in God." You believe in God, and God is supreme in your heart; You don't believe in God, and God is like clods under your feet. This is downright atheism. Stories and proverbs gently enlighten the world that God is just an illusion created by the human heart. If you believe in God, God will exist, bind and torture you; If you don't believe in God, God doesn't exist and you live happily.

Since the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, especially the rapid development of space technology and modern science and technology, "God" has long been a distant fairy tale, and "God is dead" is an indisputable fact. The concept of divinity, which originated from the totem worship and various sacrifices of primitive people in ancient times, has accumulated into the deep unconsciousness of human beings after tens of thousands of years of evolution. Heaven, hell, gods, ghosts, and churches, monasteries, mosques and temples all over the world all show that the ghost of God is lingering. It will take time for mankind to get rid of the fetters of divinity completely.

The reason why the immortal's vitality is so tenacious is both historical and practical. There are many natural and social phenomena in the vast universe and everything in the world, especially some strange phenomena, which human beings cannot make convincing scientific explanations. Mysteries and black boxes are everywhere. These unexplained phenomena will bring people all kinds of doubts, panic and even fear, causing people's mentality imbalance. The most convenient way to balance the mind and soothe the soul is to attribute it to the nature of the gods and say that all this is caused by the gods. As someone asked Newton, what is the first driving force of the earth's rotation? Newton lived in an era when science and technology were still very backward. In astronomy, man has not realized the existence of dark matter and dark energy, so Newton can't give a scientific answer. He thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it was a snap of God's finger." Once things get to God and God, it becomes very simple, because God and God are not allowed to doubt and reject all research and proof, as long as you sincerely believe.

The above story of "Yin and Yang teachers are afraid of the ignorant" also gives us some enlightenment: the ignorant are fearless, and the fearless often succeed. You ignore the existence of God, you don't know and don't care about risks. If you do it boldly, things will often be done. If you worry too much and doubt too much, and you can't take action, you may miss the opportunity to do things well. Ceng Guoquan accepted Hu Linyi's suggestion, boldly attacked Nanking and won, which is the best proof.
