Detailed explanation of eight rivers and lakes

The first of the eight rivers and lakes. Mainly study good fortune and bad fortune, and guide people. So now fortune tellers are all Jianghu people. The ancestors of surprise were Fuxi and Zhou Wenwang. It is said that Fuxi painted eight diagrams, Wen Wang played Zhouyi, and another granddaddy that Jianghu magicians often worshipped was Dong Fangshuo of the Han Dynasty. It is said that Dong Fangshuo once set up a stall in Chang 'an for divination. If there is a classic, it is the Book of Changes.

It is not unreasonable for the Eight Rivers and Lakes Schools to be headed by Qimen, because it studies the change of heaven. Once you master the special skill, the other seven Jianghu skills can be imitated by analogy, and the interpretation of good fortune and bad fortune is the core of world affairs. I'm afraid modern fortune tellers don't have this skill, but judging people's eyesight is still a basic skill, and the skill of the Jianghu in the world is to judge people's dishes and pay attention to the way of practicing medicine to help the world. Medical practice here includes not only quacks, but also sitting doctors, even ancient witch doctors and so on. People are tired as long as they are treated in various ways. There are two grandfathers who are worshipped by people in the fishing family, Zhang Zhongjing, the medical sage, and Sun Simiao, the drug king. But now when we say that the rivers and lakes are exhausted, most of them refer to wandering doctors.

Exhaustion gate is located in the second of the eight rivers and lakes, second only to the surprise gate, and its position is also very important, because it studies people's own knowledge. Strictly speaking, the ancestors of exhausted people are Huangdi Xuanyuan and Yan Di Shennong, and they are also the ancestors of the legendary Chinese nation. The exhausting classics are, of course, Huangdi Neijing and Shennong Herbal Classic. Pay attention to the road to despair. The knowledge of this subject is very profound, so how to deal with yourself and Du E when you are unlucky? The ancestor of Yaomen is said to be Zhu Yuanzhang, and the other is Xia Liu Tuo, which is impossible to verify. In modern times, people who play lotus begging, eat too much and have a windfall, pretend to be monks and nuns, and even take antiperspirants can be regarded as important people.

From this perspective, the eight rivers and lakes are all-encompassing, and they talk about the means and truth of doing things in the world. There is no good or evil in the Jianghu itself, but various means, only the people on the Jianghu are mixed. The eight schools of Jianghu in modern times are almost all about Jianghu tricks, belonging to the narrow sense of "wandering in Jianghu".

In ancient times, there were two kinds of sayings in Jianghu: "profit" and "sharpness", also known as "skill" and "Tao". It refers to means, similar to business, trying to figure out what methods people's psychology can use to achieve their goals; Pointing refers to real skills, real kung fu, and the avenue of pursuit. For example, if you are tired of practicing medicine, "reason" refers to how to deceive people mysteriously, and "health" refers to real medical ethics.

When doing things in the world, you should not neglect the words "internal" and "sharp", otherwise even if you have real skills, no one may be willing to buy them. Throughout the ages, there have been many talented people in the world. As the saying goes, "Zhongrui, great, Zhongrui, play the immortal" is the truth. However, since modern times, most of the magicians and artists who have wandered the Jianghu have studied deception, and most of them have become inferior. In fact, Jianghu itself is a university. If you make good use of it, you can travel around the world.
