The question asked by the fat old man at this time is still easy to answer. He thought that the question he asked was actually pointing to the essence, the essence of the different Eastern and Western cultures!

It is actually easy to answer questions that directly point to the essence.

The reason for the difficult answer is that you don’t see the essence clearly!

Another reason for a good answer is that this question is big enough, even if you can't see the essence clearly and summarize it from a large perspective, it is still a very easy question to answer.

There are two types of questions that are easy to answer. One is like the question asked by the fat old man at this time. It is big enough to be easy to answer.

The other is small enough to be very specific!

For example, if you have a math problem, this problem is small enough. If you know, you know, you know, you don’t know!

At this time, the metaphysics and theology involved in this question have defined the direction of the answer. Chen Jian pondered for a moment and gave his own answer: "No matter how Western culture is involved in the level of theology, there is only one answer. They actually believe in one religion, and they all believe in God!"

The fat old man nodded and said, "Continue!"

Chen Jian smiled and said, "A sentence that Westerners often say is already very evident. However, when translated, there is actually a layer of meaning that is wrong!"

"You are saying oh, mygod?" the fat old man asked immediately.

"Yes, this sentence is the most commonly used sentence by Westerners, but when translated, this sentence should be just the answer to 'My God'. Soldiers should not have the meaning of 'My God'!" Chen Jian nodded.

"Reason!" the old man asked with a smile.

"The word god has a clear meaning, whether God or God, it is the same." Chen Jian said with a smile: "Compared with our Eastern culture, only we Eastern people respect the heaven and the ancestors. Therefore, it is extremely inaccurate to translate this sentence into my heaven!"

After a pause, Chen Jian continued: "Respecting heaven and Dharma Ancestor is basically to worship heaven, transform the gods of heaven, believe in 'God', and at the same time sacrifice to ancestors, pray for the blessings and blessings of ancestors, and imitate the ancestors' virtues and good conduct, family traditions and family laws. Respecting heaven and Dharma Ancestor is a traditional cultural custom that has been formed in ancient times and has been circulated in the eastern land for thousands of years."

"Yes, only we orientals say the word "God"!" The fat old man nodded and said with a satisfied look on his face.

"In addition, we look at our own culture from the perspective of myths and legends and metaphysics." Chen Jian said: "Our myths and legends are not one system, but multiple systems, and cannot be compatible. This can only show one problem, that is, our myths are diversified, not as unified as the West!"

Chen Jian is talking about the truth. The myths and legends of Eastern culture are diversified systems. Taoism has a Taoist myth system, Buddhism has a Buddhist myth system, as well as ancient myths and legends, and even some folk legends. These are incompatible, which fully demonstrates that the East has had the characteristics of being particularly inclusive since ancient times.

"The gods in the most widely circulated myths and legends, that is, the gods in the myths and legends recognized in the lives of ordinary people, are all figures that have existed in history!" Chen Jian said with a smile: "For example, the two most famous door gods who have been passed down to this day are Qin Shubao and Yuchi Gong, who are both famous generals in the Tang Dynasty!"

"For example, Guan Yu during the Three Kingdoms period was worshipped as the God of Wealth. There are also Guandi Temples all over the country, and Guan Yu is also worshipped!" Chen Jian said with a smile: "These are already very telling, and there is no need to give more examples!"

"What can it mean?" The fat old man also smiled and asked this question.

The fat old man's smile shows that he already knows what Chen Jian means, but he still asked this question. It is obvious that he asked knowingly, as if he had thought about Chen Jian!

"It means that we orientals are the least superstitious!" Chen Jian smiled and shook his head, saying, "Our Guandi Temple worships Guan Yu, which is actually the spirit of loyalty and righteousness worship. Guan Yu is just a manifestation of concreteness. Guan Yu, a historical figure, was from Hou to King, then to be named Emperor, and finally revered as Martial Saint, all of which were later generations. Later generations named Guan Yu as Martial Saint and built Guandi Temple to worship. Doesn't it mean that people are more powerful than gods?"

The fat old man nodded and said, "Yes, Guan Yu is just the best example. Just like you said, most of the gods recognized by the people are real historical figures, and they are regarded as gods by later generations. In fact, they are faith in the spirit expressed in their life stories!"

After a pause, the fat old man said again: "We Eastern people are the least superstitious. What we believe in is respecting heaven and ancestors. The essence is to respect heaven and respect ancestors! When you are born as a human being, you must have a sense of awe and know where your roots are. Without a sense of awe, you will often cause great disasters. Those who betray their ancestors and forget their ancestors will be sinners throughout the ages!"

When the fat old man said this, his face looked very serious, and the smile that had been hanging on his face naturally closed.

When Chen Jian heard the fat old man's words, he nodded silently.

But the fat old man was still dissatisfied. He looked at Chen Jian and said, "You must keep what I said just now in mind at all times!"

"Yes!" Chen Jian immediately agreed and said, "Don't worry, old man!"

The fat old man nodded with satisfaction and said, "From the reality, the level you are in is already high enough. Judging from your long-term actions, you also know that your position is firm. The most important thing I say is to remind you to have a sense of awe. What is the heaven? We respect heaven? It is called "God", but in essence it is just our culture, which embodies nature!"

Hearing the fat old man’s words, Chen Jian smiled and said, “Your old man’s words have completely expressed his views on our oriental culture!”

"What did you think of?" the fat old man looked at Chen Jian and asked.

"Tao follows nature!" Chen Jian pondered for a moment and said, "Your words are an interpretation of this sentence!"

"Then do you think I interpreted it correctly?" the fat old man asked with a smile.

Chen Jian shook his head slowly and said, "It's hard to say!"

"Why is it hard to say?" The fat old man didn't expect Chen Jian to give such an answer and asked in confusion.

"I have five thousand words!" Chen Jian looked at the fat old man and said with a smile: "If you want to know the true meaning of this sentence, I am afraid I have to ask the original author, I am the old man!"
