What nonsense is it?

Some words we often say are actually from old sayings or proverbs, but with the passage of time, the original meaning, original meaning and original meaning of these words have gradually disappeared or blurred. Today, I summarized some idioms for you. I hope I can understand with you what these words that are on my lips every day mean. ...

Nonsense, also known as "nonsense" or "nonsense", refers to nonsense without basis or reason.

In fact, the idiom "nonsense" has two meanings, one is nonsense, and the other is eight characters. The word "nonsense" comes from "Ren Hu". In ancient China, the ethnic minorities living in the west and north of China were usually called "Ren Hu". The word "nonsense" first appeared after the Eastern Jin Dynasty. At that time, the ethnic minorities living in the northwest mainly included Xiongnu and Xianbei. However, people in the Central Plains don't know their words or understand what they say, so they call Ren Hu's articles and speeches "nonsense".

Later, the "Eight Classics" of Hu people refers to people's unfounded nonsense, which is often called irresponsible nonsense. In fact, "Hu Hu" should mean "Ren Hu", not what he meant. As for the evolution of meaning in the future, in the final analysis, it is also "own blindness" and injustice to "others"

According to the data, the theory of "eight paths" originated from Buddhism, that is, "eight right paths", also known as "eight sacred paths", which is one of the thirty-seven products of Buddhism. It mainly discusses eight correct ways and means to nirvana.

First, right view means that people practice the Tao without leaking, see the four truths clearly, and get rid of all kinds of Jaken, such as the existence and non-existence of the outside world. This is right view.

Second: Mindfulness means that people see the four truths, mindfulness, observing the amount of money raised, and increasing their horizons.

Third, the orthodox language means that people always control their mouths with wisdom, keep away from all false words. This is the orthodox language.

Fourth, karma means that people practice their bodies with seamless wisdom, live in clean and appropriate karma, and cut off all evil deeds. This is the so-called karma.

Fifth: Righteousness means that a monk should stay away from the five evils and often beg for a living. If karma is not enough, it is better to be a concerned monk than a monk, so as to have merit. It is also a merit to join the WTO in the spirit of being born, give full play to the function of life and become a true believer at home.

Sixth: Diligence, "being right" means not deviating from evil. No miscellaneous name, no name; It means that people are diligent in practicing the way of abstinence from wisdom and devote themselves to specialization without stopping. This is called diligence.

Seventh: Mindfulness means that people have missed the right path of wisdom, and "five stops" can help the Tao and stop nirvana. This is mindfulness of names.

Eighth: positive definite, which means people are scattered, physically and mentally quiet, living in a vacuum, and deciding not to move, is a positive definite name.

The other comes from Taoism. Taoism pursues immortality and enlightenment, but to achieve this goal, it must go through eight stages, namely eight ways:

One is to enter the Tao, that is, to enter the door;

The second is to learn Taoism, that is, to learn the theory and method of monasticism;

The third is to visit Tao, that is, to ask Gao Dao and Da De to give guidance on the study of Tao;

The fourth is cultivation, that is, the master leads the door and the practice depends on the individual;

The fifth is to gain enlightenment, that is, to deepen one's own path through practice and enlightenment; Sixth, preaching, that is, following the Tao, requires not only individual practice, but also all beings to preach;

Seventh, for the Tao, that is, through the above process, finally reach the Tao and complete the process of monasticism;

Eight is to become a Tao, that is, to ascend to heaven and become a so-called immortal.
