Yes, it\u2019s the &#8220;awakening&#8221; of enlightenment. In ancient times, among the ancients, &#8220;learning&#8221; (\u5b66) and &#8220;awakening&#8221; (\u89c9) were interchangeable\u2014they could be used as phonetic loans for each other. If you study our classics without clarifying this point, you might be able to recite them or fill in the blanks, but it would hold no real meaning for you. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Now, let\u2019s look at its origin: <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Above it, do we see a hand? Right? If you trace its evolution in oracle bone script, what are the two hands holding? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\u2019s yao (\u723b)\u2014isn\u2019t that the yao symbolism? Isn\u2019t yao from the I Ching? Yes, the yao statements in the I Ching. Each yao symbolizes a position, a state of being, right? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Learning, of course, requires effort\u2014but what is the purpose of that effort? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It is to attain awakening through learning. &#8220;Awakening&#8221; (\u89c9) means &#8220;to wake up.&#8221; <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Not just our eyes waking up, our ears waking up, our skin waking up, our sense of touch waking up\u2014it is our consciousness waking up. See? That makes all the difference. See? Making these connections creates a new effect. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If we seize the moment, if we grasp the opportune time, in the process of learning, we can achieve awakening. And after awakening, then what? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Now, why have the two characters been confused? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Is it because when we studied classical Chinese in the past, teachers taught us a method\u2014turning monosyllabic words into disyllabic ones? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Is that method good? Yes, it\u2019s very useful, because most words in classical Chinese are monosyllabic. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But what we must be most vigilant about is this: monosyllabic words masquerading as disyllabic ones. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Take xue er shi xi (\u5b66\u800c\u65f6\u4e60), right? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;Shi&#8221; (\u65f6, time) and &#8220;xi&#8221; (\u4e60, practice) are placed together, aren\u2019t they? This creates a misunderstanding\u2014why does the meaning of &#8220;time&#8221; (\u65f6) become distorted? It\u2019s because &#8220;xi&#8221; (\u4e60) is placed right beside it. See? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Now, how should we understand &#8220;xi&#8221; (\u4e60)? You should find this easier to grasp. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">What is the top part of &#8220;xi&#8221; (\u4e60)? What character is that? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\u2019s &#8220;yu&#8221; (\u7fbd), meaning &#8220;feathers.&#8221; Where do feathers grow? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Do they grow on humans? No, right? They can only grow on birds. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">What does the bottom part, &#8220;bai&#8221; (\u767d), mean? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Let me pose a question: &#8220;Where is the bird\u2019s home?&#8221; <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">See, everyone looks tense now. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In the trees? In the nest? But does it just sleep there all day? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You must analyze the bird\u2014what is its nature? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It is called a &#8220;flying creature&#8221; (\u98de\u79bd). <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The nest is its cradle\u2014even its point of departure. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But it may not be its final destination.<\/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>&#8220;Scholar&#8221; (\u5b66) means &#8220;awakening&#8221; [&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-6538","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-doorm"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6538","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=6538"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6538\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6539,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6538\/revisions\/6539"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6538"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6538"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6538"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
