Chapter 108: The Temple of the Sun discusses Tai Chi (Chapter 1)

He was still unfinished, like the hypnotist Milton who ate a peach, he took out his handkerchief, carefully wrapped the date core, and put it in his pocket. Then he saluted: "Doctor Yan, I, and my students, please

I have received such benefits from you. I don’t know how to thank you.”

The professor's students also saluted Yan Zixiu together.

The professor is very kind to them, and they also love the teacher. So this gift is very sincere.

"You're welcome, everyone. Seeing that everyone is healthy and disease-free is the biggest reward for me." Yan Zixiu stepped aside and said with a smile.

Diana was overjoyed when she saw that her teacher had gotten rid of the stomach problem that she had suffered for many years. She teased the teacher and said, "Professor, don't you usually not believe in God?"

Professor Marshall smiled and said: "If you are in a good mood, it doesn't matter if you believe me occasionally."

Everyone laughed.

The professor also laughed: "By the way, Doctor Yan, you are so young, do you know if you are married? If you don't have a fiancée yet, among my female students, which one do you like, I will match you."

This time, Yan Zixiu's shut-up button was pressed again.

He waved his hands repeatedly in embarrassment.

The students were happy again.

Professor Marshall saw that he was thin-skinned and quickly changed the subject: "Dr. Yan, I met the magical you in this mysterious place. As you say in the East, it is fate. Shall we continue on the magical journey?"

Yan Zixiu breathed a sigh of relief and returned to normal: "Professor, it is my fate to meet such a good tour guide like you. Please."

The group came to the northern part of the central part of Machu Picchu, which is a sacred sacrificial area with many temples.

They passed through the ruins of a house and came to an exquisite circular building.

Professor Marshall said: "This is the Temple of the Sun. The Incas believed in and worshiped the sun. The arched door of Machu Picchu is called the Sun Gate. You see, the windows on the wall and the granite boulders placed in the temple reflect the sun.

The observatory function of the temple. Every year on June 22, sunlight will shine directly through this small trapezoidal window into the center of the granite boulder in the temple."

"So accurate!" Several students exclaimed.

The professor said: "There is a Moon Temple on the back of the Huayna Picchu peak opposite, which echoes this place."

The Temple of the Sun and the Temple of the Moon, combined together, aren’t they Yin and Yang? Yan Zixiu thought to himself.

Although the regions between China and foreign countries are different, the experience of the world is still similar.

"Dr. Yan, what are you thinking about?" Diana asked when she saw that he was thoughtful.

"When the professor talked about the Temple of the Sun and the Temple of the Moon, I was reminded of the Chinese Tai Chi diagram."

"Tai Chi diagram?" The students were curious.

Yan Zixiu took out paper and pen, and took out a drawing board to use as a cushion. Under everyone's surprised eyes, he drew a Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram with his brushes flying.

"I have seen this picture, but I don't understand it in depth. Can Dr. Yan introduce it to us?" The professor was very modest.

"Professor, you teach philosophy, and your classmates also study philosophy. Isn't there the law of the unity of opposites in philosophy? Tai Chi diagram expresses this meaning."

"The law of the unity of opposites? Hmm, interesting. Doctor Yan, please continue." The professor touched his chin.

"Our Chinese ancestors believed that everything has yin and yang. Look at this picture, white is yang and black is yin. This represents a kind of relativity, just like the sun represents day and the moon represents night."

"Dr. Yan, why are there black spots inside this white? Are there white spots inside the black?" Diana expressed the question that everyone had in mind.

"This means that there is yin in yang, such as there are shadows during the day; there is yang in yin, and there is light at night." Yan Zixiu explained.

"Yin within yang? Yang within yin? What does this mean in life?" asked Linda, who had long braids.

"Good question. Relevant to life, there are bad things among good things, and good things among bad things. To put it simply, blessings come from disasters, and misfortunes come from blessings. In China, there is a person who is a blessing in disguise.

Story. Once upon a time, there was a family at the border. One day their horse was lost..."

When Yan Zixiu finished telling the story of a blessing in disguise, the students suddenly understood.

They are philosophy majors, so they understand this truth easily.

The tall and thin David was originally a very conceited person, but now he was convinced by Dr. Yan and asked for advice: "Doctor Yan, I look at these two areas, they look a bit like two fish with big heads and small tails. What does this mean?

Woolen cloth?"

When the students took a closer look, they all thought they were very similar.

"David is right, this is called Yin Yang Fish."

When David heard Dr. Yan's approval, his face glowed with excitement and he smiled.

Yan Zixiu took out a needle, passed it through the middle point of the Tai Chi diagram, and then gently turned the paper.

Everyone could see the yin fish running to the place of the yang fish for a while, and the yang fish running to the yin fish for a while, alternating between black and white, and they felt a little dazzled.

When the Tai Chi diagram stopped spinning, Yan Zixiu said: "The fish represents swimming, and the yin and yang fish represent that everything is moving, changing, and even transforming into each other. As the story just told, good and bad things may turn into opposites. So.

Don’t be too arrogant when you succeed, because you may become extremely happy and sad. Don’t be too pessimistic when you fail, because there are opportunities in danger.”

Professor Marshall took the lead in clapping his hands and praised sincerely: "Chinese culture is really profound and profound. Dr. Yan explained the law of the unity of opposites very well."

The students also applauded warmly.

Yan Zixiu stopped as soon as he saw that he was good. He made a fist with his left hand and right hand, and expressed his thanks: "Professor, you are too complimentary."

David's eyes lit up: "I know this, Bruce Lee's Kung Fu!"

He said with a typical white crane's wings: "Oh~ da!"

Suddenly the atmosphere was heightened even more.

"Dr. Yan, do you Chinese know Kung Fu?" Diana asked. This was probably the deepest impression Bruce Lee had on foreigners.

"Haha, if you think it is, then it is." Yan Zixiu thought it would be better to let them maintain a mysterious imagination. It's like magic, it would be meaningless if it was exposed.

"Then you must be able to do it? Can you show us your skills?" Unexpectedly, a few students were even more curious.

"I'm a doctor. Doctors don't have murderous intentions, so I only know how to save people, not how to hit or hurt them."

The students were both disappointed and admired. They were disappointed because they couldn't see the wonderful skills, but they admired Yan Zixiu's kind heart.

David's character is a bit sharp, otherwise how could he have cervical spondylosis.

He asked: "Dr. Yan, what should you do if someone wants to beat you?"

Yan Zixiu smiled: "I will not offend anyone unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will tie them up."

This is the truth. No matter how powerful a mortal is, once the rope that binds the immortal is released, he will still be captured without mercy.

"David, why don't you try Dr. Yan?" Diana said.

"No, no, you misunderstood. It's too late for me to thank Dr. Yan, so why would I attack him? I just care about him and am afraid he will be hurt." David hurriedly clarified.

Yan Zixiu smiled and patted David on the shoulder: "I believe David is a kind and caring person."

David received another recognition and snorted to Diana with some pride.

"Haha. Time is limited, let's continue." Professor Marshall concluded.

From the Temple of the Sun, everyone went up the hillside and passed the stone quarry to the Sacred Square.

"Look, everyone, this is the main temple for worshiping the gods of heaven and earth." Professor Marshall said.

I saw that the main temple had no roof, only three walls. The walls were built with finely polished stones and backed by huge rocks. The lintel was a rock. There were huge stone altars and many shrines in the temple.

"Here, this is the Three Window Temple. Its name comes from the fact that there are three large windows made of stacked huge stones."

From the huge stone window, you can see the Sacred Square and the mountains in the distance.

"Professor, what is this stone? Why does it have four corners?" Linda asked.
