Chapter 1069 Popular
By the time he said this, Fangzheng had already entered the backyard.
"Master, you made it clear! Then what did you give up? So what?" The squirrel chased after him.
Fangzheng sighed: "Giving up the ceremony does not mean giving up the culture, but it must give up the cultural confidence!
Your own way of cultural inheritance has been denied by yourself, and you dare not show it to others. How can you talk about self-confidence?
The poor monk heard that a certain country worships male genitals, so there is a festival where huge male genital molds are paraded. Both men and women will participate in this grand festival. If you look at it from the perspective of the ethics and morals of China, and even the whole world, this is obviously rude. But they were able to carry these things around the market, and proudly told the world, this is our culture of worship! Ultimately, the world accepts their culture and participates in it.
To give another example, if there is no ancestor worship on Qingming Festival, no rice dumplings or dragon boat races on Dragon Boat Festival, moon cakes on Mid-Autumn Festival, and couplets on Chinese New Year, then what are the signs of the coming of these festivals? What do you use as a reminder, and to remind people of its existence? In the end, it must disappear! What kind of self-confidence can a disappearing culture talk about?
A nation without self-confidence must be a nation of cowards.
People are like a cultural beggar, but walking in a cultural corridor, in that kind of extreme inferiority situation, they will see everything in other people's homes as good! When others spit, it’s called physiological needs, when your own people spit, it’s called lack of quality; when others scold you, it’s to guide your way forward, and if you scold others, it’s called low-quality, inferior nation. At this time, you will never be able to stand upright and be a human being! You can only be a monkey who is bent over and hunched, walking on the road and being laughed at and teased for fun! "
"Master, don't be racist at this time." The monkey muttered.
Fangzheng rolled his eyes at him, and continued: "When cultural confidence is extremely lacking, foreigners seem to be superior to others invisibly!
People without cultural self-confidence have no faith, and the so-called literati arrogance are all gone. In order to support that thin body, I can only try my best to hang money on my body, as if wearing clothes piled up with money, in order to give myself a little confidence. But that self-confidence is just a nouveau riche-style cover-up, and it still cannot be respected by others. Now, do you understand the importance of rituals? "
The squirrel widened its eyes and said, "I see! I still don't understand!"
Fangzheng: "..."
"Do you understand?" Fangzheng asked other disciples.
Hong Haier nodded thoughtfully and shook his head, expressing that he understood a little, but still didn't understand a lot.
The others shook their heads directly.
Fangzheng took a look, and sure enough, he played the piano to the cow!
But to be precise, he didn't say it to these disciples, but to himself, in order to disperse the depression in his heart. He said it all in one breath, and his heart was also relaxed. He slightly raised his head, looked at the blue sky, and said in his heart: "Since the people of the world have gone wrong, then the poor monk will lead them back to the right path! Save the people, save the world!" ,I see!"
Fangzheng just entered the door for a while, when he heard a few disciples outside yelling: "Master! It's not good! Something happened!"
When Fangzheng heard this, he hurried out to ask about the situation, and the squirrel ran all the way: "Master, come with me, something has happened! The censer is very popular!"
Fangzheng was dumbfounded, is the incense burner popular? What's happening here?
He ran out to have a look, and saw Honghaier, Xianyu, Monkey, and Lone Wolf looking around the incense burner. Seeing Fangzheng approaching, Honghaier immediately took a stick of incense and inserted it into the incense burner.
Just as Fang Zheng was about to speak, he saw that the incense suddenly lit up, and then burned out at a speed visible to the naked eye! It felt like being eaten! It’s still like eating noodles, just suck it up, it’s gone!
Fangzheng hurriedly asked the system: "Brother System, what's going on?"
"Can't you check the function of the incense burner yourself?" the system asked.
Fangzheng was taken aback for a moment, he was so angry with these prodigal disciples just now, he forgot about it! So Fangzheng quickly checked...
"Fortune incense burner: Use this incense burner to burn incense, which can improve the luck of the incense burner and increase the luck of the temple. When you sincerely pray for the Buddha, the incense burner will respond, and the incense burner will burn during the three worships. Finished! If the heart is not sincere, the incense will not burn. Special effect, dust-free: use this incense burner to burn incense, and there will be no trace of incense ash floating out. It will not disperse: the cigarette will condense, and the wind will not disperse, and it will go straight to the sky!"
After Fangzheng finished reading it, he instantly understood everything. At present, these incenses are all inserted in the original incense burner or outside by some pilgrims, and they have all performed three prostrations. Therefore, once the incense enters the lucky incense burner, it will be absorbed by the incense burner in an instant.
Knowing the reason behind it, Fangzheng also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that another monster would come over by accident. In that case, his monastery could be renamed - Monster Base Camp.
After explaining the reason to the disciples, the disciples looked at each other in blank dismay.
The monkey clicked his tongue and said in amazement: "If a group of dishonest people come, I guess the incense burner will not be enough."
Fangzheng smiled and said, "It's okay, just light the non-flammable incense, just pull it out and put it back where it was."
The monkey nodded slightly, expressing his understanding.
After dealing with all this, Xianyu pointed to the Bodhi tree and said, "Master, is that money my pocket money?"
Fangzheng took a look, and finally there was a little joy in his eyes. He didn't pay attention to it before, but now he took a closer look, good guy, the original altar of Xianyu was full of money! Although they are all in small denominations, the pile is as large as a hill, and there must be a lot if you count them! It is even much more than what Fang Zheng usually collects in the merit box!
Fangzheng subconsciously glanced at the merit box, and Fangzheng's little heart jumped with it! Here, it must not be less than salted fish! How much would that be?
Lone Wolf leaned over to Fangzheng and asked, "Master, do you want to open it and have a look?" After speaking, he subconsciously licked his tongue, apparently also tempted.
Fangzheng shook his head and said, "No, open a bigger one tonight! Now, hurry up and tidy up the yard. After tidying up, hurry up and open the door to collect incense. Check the money at night, and buy New Year's goods for everyone tomorrow!"
When everyone heard that Fangzheng was actually going to buy New Year's goods for everyone, he immediately became motivated. Red Boy and Salted Fish took the lead, Lone Wolf and Squirrel followed, Monkey swept the tail, and One Finger Temple was cleaned up quickly. Afterwards, Fangzheng ran into the backyard, and the gate of the front yard opened!
Fangzheng was lying on the top of the wall and watching secretly, the crowd swarmed in, and then there were exclamations of exclamation after burning incense and prostrating!
"My God, is this incense burnt out?"
"I saw, you kowtowed and the incense burnt a third! After three kowtows, it's just finished burning!"
