Chapter 654 Extra 6: The Tao can be told - the inevitable is contained in the accident
The reason I kept "Fanbian Wu" so short is because I know some readers won't understand this addition. Let me explain it again with an example.
If you still don't understand, there is no way. For example: 035+9. It means 035 plus 9 in each position. No carry
035
+999
-----
924
You understand, right? Okay, let's get on with the main text.
The next day, I continued to teach Chunlai the "Nine-Five Method." I said, "Write three numbers at random."
He asked, "Why only three numbers?"
I said, "Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. This is stipulated in Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching. Writing three numbers represents all things."
He asked, “Write casually?”
I nodded.
He glanced at me and wrote down 357
I said, "Write nine more sets of numbers like this. Be careful not to think too long about them, just write them casually."
He wrote down ten groups of numbers including 357 in one breath, as follows:
357, 347, 458, 123, 489, 247, 056, 068, 246, 378
I said, "Start by adding 9 to each number in the first group of 357, without carrying, and only take the remainder."
He wrote: 357 + 999 = 246
I said, "Take the result of 246 and add 5 to each of them, without carrying, and only take the remainder."
He wrote down the above method: 246+555=791
"You combine the two groups of numbers [246] and [791] in order of size and write them into one group of numbers.
He combined the two groups of numbers and wrote them in order of size: 124679.
I said, "Write out the remaining four numbers of the ten.
He thought about it and wrote down 0358.
I said: So among the four remaining numbers 0358, there is a number [3] that appears in the second group of numbers [347], right? "
He nodded.
I said, "Okay, let's do the same experiment with the relationship between the second and third groups of numbers. Don't carry the numbers, just take the mantissa."
He began to calculate:
347+999=236
236+555=781
The two groups of numbers are combined into a string of numbers: 123678.
I asked, "The remaining four numbers are [0459], which are the same as the two numbers [4, 5] in the third group of numbers [458], right?"
He nodded.
I said, "Okay, let's test the relationship between the third and fourth groups of numbers."
He began to calculate:
458+999=347
347+555=892
The two groups of numbers are combined into a string of numbers 234789.
I said, "The remaining ten numbers [0156] have the same number [1] as the next group [123], right?"
He is a little strange, let's do another experiment 123
123+999=012
012+555=567
Merge into a string of numbers 012567.
I asked, "The remaining digits of the ten are [3489], which has three digits in common with the following [489], right?"
He was a little unconvinced and continued to calculate:
489+999=378.
378+555=823
I said, "Wait a minute. I only need four numbers anyway. Now combine these two groups of numbers and only write down the one that's the same. Is that [2378]?"
He nodded.
I said, "We only need four numbers. There's no need to write out the remaining six. Doesn't [2378] have two numbers in common with the following set of numbers [247], which has two numbers [2 and 7]?"
He gave me a strange look. Count again: 247.
247+999=136
136+555=681
I said, "After merging, the four numbers [1368] have one number [6] in common with the next group [056]. Is that right?"
He said, "You mean, add 999 to the previous set of numbers, then add 555 to the result, without carrying, and take the remainder. Then combine the two sets of numbers.
If there are six numbers, find the remaining four. If there are only four numbers, use those four. Will one to three numbers definitely appear in the next group?
I said, “Not absolutely, but basically.”
He had no choice but to count 056 again.
056+999=945
945+555=490
The combined number [0459] is the same as the following set of numbers [068], which has one [0] in it.
Count 068 again
068+999=957
957+555=402
Combine 024579, and then find the remaining four numbers in the ten numbers [1368] that have one digit [6] in common with the following [246].
Count again 246
246+999=135
135+555=680
Combined into 013568, the remaining ten numbers [2479] have one [7] in common with the next group of numbers [378].
After he finished the calculation, he looked at me in surprise and asked, "How come the four numbers you calculated using this method will definitely appear in the next group of numbers?"
I said, "You wrote the numbers however you wanted. I didn't force you."
He said, “What does this mean?”
I said, "Everything in the world is connected. Every 9 brings about major changes. As for adding 5, it's from the Hetu and Luoshu in Chinese culture, where 5 is in the middle, used to balance numbers."
He was not convinced, so he wrote ten more sets of numbers and calculated them, and they were also correct.
Finally, he was still unconvinced and said:
"I'll write one set of numbers, and I won't let you see the next set. I'll write it on a separate piece of paper. Is that okay?"
I said, “Try it.”
He wrote down 135. Then he went to his desk and wrote another set of numbers, folded the paper, and placed a teacup on it.
I calculated on paper:
135+999=024
024+555=579
Combined into: 024579, the remaining four numbers are: 1368
He smiled sheepishly and said, "I did that on purpose."
I turned over the cup and opened the paper. The second set of numbers was still 135. It turned out to be a set of repeated numbers.
I smiled slightly.
Chunlai asked, "Why is it so? Even if I write casually, you can still calculate it correctly. Even if I write deliberately and follow this method, it is not wrong either."
I said, "Spring is coming, this is what happens in the world. It may seem accidental, but in fact, there is an inevitable relationship between them.
9 is the largest yang number, which we call "after bad times come good times." When any number reaches 9, it will take on a different state.
Can we predict the next state? The 95 method is a form of creative thinking. However, I'm not entirely sure what the next set of numbers will look like in a random situation.
But I can use the 95 method to calculate the four numbers and predict that one to three of them will appear. The probability of this prediction is over 90%.
Therefore, within cause lies effect, and within chance lies necessity. This is the path we seek. Mr. Dong left me with a difficult question that requires our exploration. We have a long and arduous journey ahead.
This is the mathematical explanation for the saying "every nine must change" in our culture. Adding nine is actually subtracting one. Taking a step back opens up a new world.
Adding five is about correspondence, and the world is balanced. We must learn to regulate our physical balance, yin and yang balance, and emotional balance."
Chun said, "Teacher, since you are willing to teach me, I will definitely practice Taoism well."
At this moment, there was a sudden thunder in the sky, followed by heavy rain. Ten minutes later, the rain stopped and a mirage appeared in the sky.
A line of big words appeared on the gate of the mirage: The Tao can be told.
Dear readers, this is the end of this extra chapter. The mysterious and ancient Chinese culture is worth exploring.
The Dao can be spoken of. However, due to our limited level of understanding, we are unable to clearly explain it yet.
I believe that the Tao discovered by our nation will be slowly revealed by future generations.
The road ahead is long and hard as iron, but now we can start over.
In the next book, let us meet happily with a pot of wine, and talk and laugh about many things from ancient times to the present.
This book is finished, thank you for reading.
