No forest, no list.

In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, many people fled from famine because of the bad years. There is an old lady named Lin. She is kind and compassionate and has compassion for all beings. Every day, we mix our food with wild vegetables to make "vegetable dumplings" and give them to people who come to beg. For several years, she has never stopped this charity, and she has never refused any beggar.

One of them knows geomantic geography. In the past three years, he not only witnessed the kindness of the old lady, but also received charity from the old lady. So, he is grateful, grateful! When he was leaving, he told the descendants of the old lady that there was a piece of land in their backyard, which could be called a treasure land, and the old man could be buried here a hundred years later. The descendants of the old lady believed it, listened to Mr. Feng Shui's kind advice, and later buried the old lady here. In the following days, as Mr. Wang saw, the descendants of the Lins produced the most juren and Jinshi in the imperial examinations over the years, and no one even missed them. People are like sesame seeds. Every time the imperial examination is held, it belongs to the Lins, so there is a saying that there is no forest in the list.

This is a story widely circulated among the people. The reason why it will be celebrated so far is not only because the story is interesting, but also because the content or theme of the story conforms to the public's kindness and moral yearning.

No matter which dynasty, no matter when and where, people's psychology and feelings of being kind, kind and upward, the belief that good and evil are rewarded, and the concept that ancestors can do good for future generations can be said to have a long history.

Since ancient times, many people have been very sensitive and even superstitious about so-called fate, gods, retribution, geomantic omen and so on. In their ideas and consciousness, there is an invisible but effective "god" who dominates fate. What is the essence of this god, why it works, why it comes true, etc., but it is not clear, or even not clear at all. Most people's cognition stays at the level of blind belief.

Some people say that this is the common mentality and concept of the disadvantaged groups, while others say that this is the creation or "product" of the disadvantaged culture. No matter what kind of statement, no matter where the root cause is, I think it is understandable. After all, ideas, culture and cognition all exist objectively.

Here, I put people's ideas of providence, gods and retribution into heaven! What is heaven? Heaven is the way of nature, the way of law and the way of predestination, that is, "justice". Whoever wants to disobey can't disobey, and whoever doesn't believe or refuses to obey can't disobey. Confucius once said, "Those who do good are not ashamed." It means that people who understand the Book of Changes, people who are really wise and knowledgeable, will not "tell fortune" and will not be superstitious about gods. But only obey the laws of nature, and only do things according to heaven. The reason is simple: you can't get beans if you plant melons, but you will be respected if you respect everyone. If you don't work hard, you will get nothing. What you plant, you will get. This is the law of nature, not heaven, not god.

Without the kindness of Mrs. Lin in the story, it is impossible to attract any Mr. Feng Shui or Japanese dignitaries. Even if the Lins' backyard is a so-called treasure house, it will not be known. The root cause, or the inevitable connection between cause and effect, is Mrs. Lin's kindness and compassion! The so-called god is kindness and good deeds. As the saying goes, heaven is good, and heaven does not bully.
