Well enough. Recommended to take a look! I went to look for someone during the Warring States Period, but ended up being trapped in a cave. I was poked by a monkey with a stick and used a unique movement skill. I got the wordless book and entered the immortal path. The author's writing is a bit unreasonable, especially after the 200th chapter. There are more inner dramas and jokes. Some of the names of people and exercises are laughable😭. What about the nine-turn beating technique? There are many leather sticks. The protagonist is a bit mean. If you are interested, you can read it. I guess the book should be quite long and have some patience.

Reader note

This chapter "Cultivation of the Mind: Letting Go" is a wonderful condensation and sublimation of the core of the series' thoughts. It not only connects the past and the future in narrative, but also completes a closed-loop interpretation of the theme of "Cultivation of the Mind" at the philosophical level. The following is a detailed analysis: --- 1. Theme deepening: the closed loop of practice from "picking up" to "letting go" The title of this chapter "Putting Down" forms a perfect dialectical structure with the previous chapter "Pick Up": · "Pick Up": Emphasizes the necessity of going deep into the classics and acquiring wisdom ("Open the treasure house to get the jewels"). · "Let Go": Warning about the dangers of clinging to forms and being trapped in appearances ("You can't carry the boat on your back when you reach the shore"). Through the typical case of a female lay practitioner who "reads the Ksitigarbha Sutra intensively but does not see the growth of her mind" over the past thirty years, the author vividly explains: Cultivation is not the accumulation of knowledge, but the transformation of the soul; it is not a transaction to seek blessings from the outside, but the awakening of breaking away from the obsession within. This closed-loop structure makes the entire philosophical system of "Cultivation of the Mind" complete. --- 2. Narrative Tension: A Sharp Confrontation between Two Cultivation Paths 1. Female lay practitioner vs. Xu Wuliao: · Female lay practitioner: represents the "formal and utilitarian" folk belief - equates reading the Bible with the accumulation of merit, and simplifies belief into a transaction of "reading the Bible - obtaining blessings". · Xu Wuliao: represents the true practice of "essentialization and spiritualization" - emphasizing that reading the Bible is to seek wisdom, break self-gratification, and achieve inner reconciliation. · The confrontation between the two is the collision between "religious behavior" and "practical essence", which is of great realistic critical significance. 2. Shiyi's role as a bridge: · She goes from "curious listening" to "sudden realization" (using the metaphor of "treasure house and jewelry") to "active connection" (discovering Xu Wuzhen's video), becoming a key role in promoting the plot and connecting the two lines. · Her growth trajectory is exactly the process of "letting go" of obsession and embracing wisdom. --- 3. Ideological criticism: a gentle lashing of the "marketization of religion" Xu Wu's comments on "eminent monks and famous masters" are the ideological edge of this chapter: "They give lectures, have a market, and have traffic, but they are just packaged - they have a halo just to satisfy the imagination of the general public." Although these words are gentle, they point directly to the commercialization and performance tendencies in the current spread of religious culture, and criticize the chaos of "packaging faith into commodities" to meet the psychological needs of the public. This is a sober cultural observation. --- 4. Character creation: The final establishment of Xu Wuluo's image 1. Emphasis on both compassion and wisdom: He not only sharply points out the "self-grasping" of the female lay practitioner, but also comforts her when she is confused ("persistent determination is worthy of admiration"), showing the mentor style of "Vajra's angry eyes, Bodhisattva's low eyebrows". 2. Transparent and humble: He clearly denied knowing Xu Wuzhen, maintaining the independence and authenticity of the character, and avoiding the cliché of "omniscient and omnipotent". 3. Introverted curiosity: He finally agreed to meet Xu Wuzhen, revealing the open mind of a truth-seeker who "will be happy when he hears the truth". At this point, Xu Wuliao's image as a "systematic and solemn wise man" has been completely established, forming a clear and complementary mirror image with Xu Wuzhen. --- 5. Structural ingenuity: laying the final bridge for the "debate of truth" 1. Shiyi's discovery: connecting two time and space through mobile phone video, allowing Xu Wuzhen to "break into" Xu Wuzhen's world, in a natural and ingenious way. 2. Deliberate enhancement of contrast: Shiyi's summary of "You wear white and he wears black, you call him enlightenment and he calls enlightenment" pushes the opposition and echo between the two to the extreme, greatly raising the readers' expectations for the encounter between the two. 3. The location is shortened: "Changfeng is only more than thirty kilometers away from us", which eliminates the physical distance and indicates that an ideological confrontation is about to occur. --- 6. Details that can be optimized 1. The transformation of the female layman is a bit rapid: thirty years of obsession collapsed in a few minutes of dialogue, and some details of her inner struggle can be added. 2. The "Buddha's Light" experience can be more concrete: The "Buddha's Light" she mentioned is an important foreshadowing (may involve perception or spiritual experience), which can be slightly expanded to enhance the narrative level. 3. Shiyi's "smartness" can be more down-to-earth: She was scrolling through her mobile phone at the dinner table and found that the plot of the video was slightly coincidental, which can be adjusted to a more natural social communication scenario (such as sharing with friends, discussing with fellow practitioners). --- Overall evaluation The chapter "Letting Go" is a pivotal work that connects the past and the future in "Cultivation of the Heart" and even in the entire "Xuanmen" series. It has completed three key missions: 1. Philosophical closed loop: It has made it clear that spiritual practice is a dynamic balance of "picking up wisdom and letting go of attachments", which is the finishing touch to the entire theme of "cultivation of the mind". 2. Social observation: Through gentle criticism of "formal beliefs", the work reflects the work's profound observation and humanistic care of the real religious ecology. 3. Narrative preparation: Using Shi Yi as a link, the two clues of Xu Wu Liao and Xu Wuzhen are cleverly connected, building up tension for the upcoming "Zhen Liao Debate". This is not only a lesson for female lay practitioners to learn to "let go" of obsessions, but also a lesson for the author to show readers that true wisdom always thrives in the dialectics of form and essence, perseverance and transcendence, and self and others. Everything is ready, just waiting to meet. When the "white-clothed enlightenment" and the "black-clothed enlightenment" finally meet, the dialogue about "truth" and "realization" will surely become the most anticipated feast of thought in this series.

🍿Lu Chengan, as a scholar, built academies and preached morality in the Kyushu Dynasty where the jungle was strong. He shouted to the powerful court "Government with virtue", to the reckless men and rivers and lakes, "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you", and to the people at the bottom, "Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement." At first he was ridiculed as a useless scholar, but he wrote like a knife and used literature as a sword, making "writing carries the doctrine" a chivalrous edge that pierced the darkness.
