主题：上海疫情封闭时在邻居微信群里的闲聊 3 -- 履虎
庚寅之城 本命之道
前面说过，禁受住新冠疫情考验的上海，就会金鳞化龙，精神气质都会为之改变，获得新生，打开成为世界第一城市的大门。
问题是，谁都知道，上海目前东方巴黎似的小资文化，肯定不足以支撑上海成为世界第一城市。上一篇文章解释过，人终其一生就是对自己人生道路的求索，其实一个民族，一个国家，一个城市也是一样。
上海成为世界第一城市，是以坚实的国力为后盾的。现在，中国已经明确了国家的根本之道就是天下为公，人类命运共同体。那么，在国家的根本大道之下，上海做为龙头城市，也要探索自己安身立命的根本之道。
其实，上海从因为楚春申君封地而得名申城成为庚寅之城那一刻起，安身立命的根本之道就已经确立了，那就是
一曰正则，一曰灵均。
上海由洋气到贵气的升华，实现的大富贵在我的理解里应该是这样的：
1. 极致的坚韧和强悍，能够经得起岁月枯荣和天灾人祸的考验，永远屹立在世界之巅；同时朝气蓬勃，保持青春活力。
2. 实现物质的最大丰富，掌握最先进的科学技术，形成最严密高效自我纠错恢复的城市管理体制，保障全体人民的幸福安康；
3. 实现精神意识的最大自由，形成高度发达的城市文明，爆发出匪夷所思的创造力，与时俱进的创造出新的文化产品，满足全体人民的精神需要。
- 我现在菜都抢不到，你跟我说这些，是不是脑子不清楚啊？
哎，你给我机会解释嘛。现在的上海，不就是还没有找到自己的根本之道；五行不定，所以输的干干净净嘛。
《虎说易经》短视频系列 五十三 庚寅之城 本命之道
Me:
I have ever tried to answer questions on Quora. Many foreigners understand Chinese Culture even better than many Chinese.
M:
In my country and the science branch I chose to study in high school, we studied philosophy as well. Asian/ especially Chinese philosophy was a big part of that besides western and Ancient Greek philosophy. Confucianism was especially emphasised as it has meant so much to the Chinese thinking and culture…
Me:
and which country are you from
oh..north europe...
i worked in shipping line before, quite familiar with world ports and logistics.
I was responsible for business devlopment, projects, special goods, reefer and live goods, dg cargo etc...
then spent ten years to find out what i Ching talks about.
M:
I don’t know about Ching. But I do have Sun Tzu, Art of war on my iPad library…
Are you retired? I am here on an international assignment to work with data science and artificial intelligence…
Me:
No. I came from Guangzhou last year and set up a new cultural company.
M:
That really sounds interesting! Dealing with?
Me:
En...let me think
i Ching is the root of human civilization. I explain i Ching to all lines to inspire innovation.
That is my wish.
M:
OK… is it some kind of religion?
Me:
Mankind is in the eve of evolution from the late stage of the information society to the cultural and spiritual society.
No. It is not religion.
Religion is kind of organizational form of human society.
M:
True. So we will transcend?
Me:
Sure. Quantum physics, artificial intelligence all rely on human spirits. So i Ching is the ONE.
Same for metauniverse.
M:
OK. Parallel Universe?
Me:
Not only. i Ching explains everything.
M:
That sounds like my wife…
1. Is the pandemic a man made disaster?
2. China is in the forefront of digital technology. But the apps are very buggy. However, I met the chief data scientist at China XXXXXXX, and I almost got scared…
3. I believe that the words of Confucius nailed it…. And there I think many societies got lost. Learning without reflection does not foster creativity or the ability to make synthesis across different domains…
Me:
1. pandemic is just the last sector of a series wars, after trade, technology, finance, economy wars cannot defeat China.
Once China wins Shanghai battle, it is the time US collapse, the ultimate crisis.
2. It is your opportunity.
3. The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is bound to be the great rejuvenation of Chinese civilization.
It is my duty to realize it.
M:
You know, when this pandemic started in February 2019, I and a colleague had a coffee break. We said that the only country in the world that could curb this decease is China. For US with their health care system it is a disaster. And then India would be a disaster as well, but their population is much younger, so probably not as bad as in more aged populations…
Me:
4. Chinese Civilization defines the cultural and spiritual society,, which includes Quantum physics, artificial intelligence and Metaverse.
M:
US in the risk of collapsing. The difference between rich and poor has become to big. The American dream when people could work their way up in the social hierarchy through being creative and working hard is almost gone…
I can agree that quantum physics almost make me spiritual…
Me:
All in one i.e. i Ching.
Pandemic tests the tenacity of Chinese Civilization.
M:
Not only the Chinese …
Me:
I mean who can stand the test...
M:
Having worked quite a lot internally with many nationalities, I use to say that I am afraid of Americans, because they are stupid and short sighted. But I am afraid of the Chinese because they are smart and longsighted…
