Truly grasping this connection is no easy task. I hope everyone can build confidence\u2014I am confident I can continue teaching, and you students should also persist in listening. Along the way, some confusion is bound to arise. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Earlier, one student raised a point: &#8220;Before this, it was hard to feel confused in lectures. But in your class, I suddenly feel confused not just about calligraphy, but about many things beyond it as well.&#8221; Confusion comes in two forms: one is absolute confusion, which blocks your path; the other is positive confusion\u2014through this state, we are prompted to rethink calligraphy and <i>the Book of Changes<\/i>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Analects touches on this topic. Zengzi said, &#8220;I daily examine myself on three points: whether, in transacting business for others, I may have been unfaithful; whether, in intercourse with friends, I may have been untrustworthy; whether I may have neglected to practice what has been taught.&#8221; How many of us today examine ourselves three times a day? Forget daily\u2014do we even do it three times a week? Forget weekly\u2014do we do it three times a month?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>These &#8220;three times&#8221; represent his constant self-reflection. Without reflection, our lives are wasted away. Once we begin to reflect, confusion arises. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">That student also mentioned &#8220;mystery&#8221; (xu\u00e1nmi\u00e0o). Indeed, as the Tao Te Ching says, <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&gt; The dark beyond the dark\u2014the gateway to all mystery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Without mystery (xu\u00e1n), there is no birth, no embrace, no hidden code. Why &#8220;the dark beyond the dark&#8221;? That &#8220;beyond&#8221; is a verb. &#8220;Mystery&#8221; as a verb is the key\u2014the key that unlocks the lock of the first &#8220;mystery.&#8221; So, the dark beyond the dark is truly the gateway to all mystery. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I believe this student\u2019s question is a genuine one\u2014not just a question for the teacher, but a question for oneself. It\u2019s more than just fulfilling a task; it\u2019s posing a question to your own life. Human life is indeed different from the lives of other beings in nature. This difference lies in the fact that we humans inherently exist. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Confucius said, &#8220;At forty, I was free from perplexities.&#8221; This doesn\u2019t mean he had no confusion at all by forty. Rather, by that age, he had begun to gradually find keys to unlock the codes left behind by the past\u2014to open that very door.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><div class=\"floating-menu float-menu-1 notranslate\"><ul class=\"fm-bar\"><li class=\"fm-item-1-0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/recommend.php\" target=\"_self\" ><div class=\"fm-icon\"><i class=\"fab fa-youtube \"><\/i><\/div><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have initially explored the relationship between the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6255","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-doorm"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6255"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6255\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6256,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6255\/revisions\/6256"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6255"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
