It shields all the noise in the world, and only people and things related to the case will emerge in the situation one by one, and then after careful identification, the real answer can always be found.

Extended data

In "River God", lighting a cigarette to argue grievances is like "meditation" in Zen. When people enter a super quiet state, their thinking will become extremely meticulous and their senses will become extremely keen. At this time, the external interference will be shielded, and the answer will automatically emerge from their hearts in a completely pure state.

Ignoring grievances by lighting a cigarette is equivalent to self-hypnosis. Through certain external stimuli, you are forced to enter a kind of tranquility, at which time your brain and thinking will run at a high speed.

The whole drama River God perfectly interprets Tianjin Wei's cultural background, ancient and modern geomantic metaphysics, China tradition and feudalism, class contradiction between the bottom and top of society, and social atmosphere. Coupled with the brain-burning reasoning, it has to be said that it is a genius. The transformation of novels and TV works can be big or small.
