battle with swords
What is a sword? "A sword is a weapon, and swordsmanship is a killing technique." This is Kenshin's interpretation of swordsmanship and swordsmanship. In fact, when he took off his old clothes of "killing swordsmanship" in the shogunate era, Kenshin looked at the rising sun of the Meiji rule. An Lan's bloody cold heart began to warm up, which happened to coincide with Xiao Xun's way of using the sword, who was tired of fighting and killing people, and decided to cast a counter-blade and live in seclusion in the Tokyo countryside. At this time, this counter-blade combined with the exquisite swordsmanship of Fei Tian Yu Dao Liu, only fought to protect the weak and friends, and Jian Xin also raised his sword and vowed to "no longer kill people". This is how Kenshin used his sword after the Meiji era. But many blood warriors are still immersed in the dead water of the shogunate's sword, light, sword and shadow. Their thoughts are brutal, and their swords are bloodthirsty. On the tranquil lake of Meiji, they are like hungry and greedy cormorants. The broken lake mirror caused bloody ripples. They adhered to the evil traditional Bushido spirit. As samurai, the sword is everything, and the sword is always eager for the nourishment of fresh blood. These so-called samurai, regardless of the replacement of the era, regardless of the right or wrong in the world, are lost in the sound of "pupu" closing their throats and spouting blood, and in the sound of "kaka" breaking bones and heads, they are never worthy of being called "Samurai Swordsmen". "Swordsmen are sword masters, they can control the sword in their hands to do the right thing at will, while Lei Juro and others are just sword slaves, controlled by the blood of the sword and lose themselves. The sword is indeed a murder weapon, which is the original intention of Jianzu, but as a rational human being, when bathed in the bright red that is indistinguishable in the darkness, one should be enlightened. The swordsmith Chi Kong also spent his whole life explaining the way of using the sword. In the chaotic shogunate era, he longed for peace, and he knew that the peace in his dreams would be drenched with blood. The thin blade is a peerless murder weapon like the Taijian. Countless souls died under the sword he made, and the raging fire of the sword-casting furnace burned the bones. When peace came, Chi Kong did not close the furnace and cast aside like his son. He was well versed in the impermanence of the world. His last sword included his life's way of using the sword. It was a shining white blade. ! The reverse edge of the blade! Weapons can never be discarded. Although it is a bloodthirsty devil, it is also the patron saint of peace. The last sword with a reverse edge is engraved with his meaning of watching fire: "Cut my thousand silver hair, cast a knife with a few stars of frost. Although it is hated for the descendants, it is for the blessing of future generations." This is what he insisted on regardless of all the feelings of saving the world by casting a sword as a human being, insisting on using the sword on his benevolent back, and accompany him with happiness and happiness. Some people do not draw their swords just to kill, nor for those nihilistic peace, in their airtight, dark Asura hell world. Fight just to fight, It is only for the sake of happiness after a desperate struggle, and for the reputation of being number one in the world. This traditional Bushido spirit is really beyond reproach, not beyond reproach. There is nothing wrong with this concept. Cover up your vulnerability. Sinaimori Cangzi wanted to carry forward Yuting Fan. After the unfortunate death of four comrades in arms, this heavy longing was placed on him alone, and the sense of revenge that oppressed and promoted life lured this warrior spirit into a deformed state. He did not hesitate to be in the company of the reactionary demon Zhizhixiong, and in the fierce battle between the newly created Taito Dao Liu against Jian Xin's Yu Dao Liu, the penetrating Kenshin hit the nail on the head, showing his weakness, Cang Zi only relied on the death of his comrade-in-arms to inspire his revenge It is tantamount to using the remains of a friend to sharpen a blunt blade. This is an excuse for not being able to face up to failure. After Cang Zi rectified her mentality, the real duel began. It turned out that the duel The absolute truth of the opponent is really important. After Tian Xianglong flashed past, Cang Zi collapsed with a smile. This is the regretless reality that should be faced. Kenshin's sword pierces the body three inches away from the heart to tell those dirty hearts, what is the real kendo, using the sword to purify the heart, this is Xiaoxun's living heart flow, the real way of using the sword.
Ming Wang
Anci, the ten swordsmen of the Ming Dynasty, a monk who broke the precepts, will tell us what will be an eternal topic. It is talking about a political issue, politics. The brick at the top of the pyramid is originally a very small thing, but because of its first place in culture, economy, etc., human beings infinitely magnify it, magnify it to the point of arguing every day Endlessly, they are chattering in tired ears. From ancient times to the present, King Ming’s world view is very strange. He originally created him to destroy and rebuild, and so on and so forth, just like the reincarnation of Buddhism. At first, he supported the Meiji government, but it took a long time. It is inevitable to discover a lot of ills, until the close relatives died innocently in the fire of the government's abolition of the Buddha, the supreme Buddha in his heart also fell, and the King Ming, who lost his faith, buried the innate compassion, He swung the iron fist of the "double limit" at the Meiji government that he thought was damned. He named himself the god of salvation. God is not easy to be accepted. Under the weight of this heavy burden, his body was as strong as a mountain, and his muscular armor made him invulnerable. , let alone touch the deeply buried conscience. Although Zuanosuke's tenacity and reasoning moved him and let him let go of his hatred of the government and his resentment towards the world, I would like to say that, realistically speaking, King Ming is reasonable. No regime is immortal, because King Ming's Buddha's eyes saw the final decay of snobbish human beings. History, this vicissitudes of life, has witnessed the sunset for several days. Maybe, King Ming's anger was not at the best time -- at that time. Meiji still won the hearts of the people, and most of the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. King Ming is just a catalyst for premature birth, and it fails. I can't be as well-versed in politics as the wily politicians, those horrific assassinations, those false oaths, those poverty-stricken after prosperity, those reincarnations on the lottery, rise and fall. I know that if politics is like the simple kindness of King Ming, it will be King Ming's world, an ideal world.
Many thoughtful cartoonists in Japan are talking about politics and using cartoons to describe their political views. The Japanese, who are naturally contradictory, can't find a way to stop all this noise and impetuousness. In his masterpiece "Akira", one of the Three Musketeers of Japanese animation, Keyou Dayang destroyed Japan, a country full of sins, but destruction can never solve the problem, so he wants to commit suicide, which is always a sign of cowardice. However, I racked my brains and found that the two are not equivalent
, Destroy everything, that is the starting point and end point of the idea of exhaustion. In the face of the terminally ill politics and the world, let everything be calm and quiet. The Japanese thoughts are really lovely, so thought-provoking, especially when it comes to thinking about life and death, that irrelevant indifference, the epiphany that comes from God, is always a fascinating dessert. And "Rurouni Kenshin" takes a step back in this regard (after all, the story has to continue) to let the people who love themselves and those they love save the lost soul, which is what I will say below, "the sword solves life and death".
Sword solution life and death
For the Japanese, death has never made them afraid, perhaps since childhood, a kind of thought of giving up one's life for righteousness is deeply rooted in the hearts of the Japanese. It is this group of fearless fighters who see through life and death. Or, in the eyes of the Chinese, they are demons, only then can they survive or even prosper on the barren islands. The Japanese are not afraid of death, and it seems that it has become the consensus of the people of the world. Whether it is from the crazy self-destruction of the "Kamikaze" special team in World War II, or from the ancient samurai's burial, the above point of view is confirmed. In the eyes of the Japanese, everything is Covered with a touch of tragedy, they revere their national flower, the momentary beauty of cherry blossoms, the eternal withering. They have derived an art of death. When death is sublimated to a realm of art, who will refuse it in a deadly manner? It is true that the Japanese philosophy is very profound and plain, like a long river, flowing calmly, but it is difficult to trace back to the source. The tragic and magnificent outlook on life is very fascinating and thought-provoking. The movie "The Undertaker" is about death and family love. It depicts death as a door, a door leading to another world, at the end of this world and the beginning of another world, so in the face of death, we There is no need to grieve, the love of a loved one is as firm as a rock in the heart, and the loved one passes away, but that stone will always remain in my heart. This is a kind of calm, a kind of relief when death comes. However, what "Rurouni Kenshin" tells us is, don't invite death. In adversity, choosing death is always a coward. Kenshin is actually not afraid of death. Those passionate warriors, of course, are not afraid, but What makes Kenshin different is that he knows the profound meaning of the flying swordsman. In the competition with his master Higu Kiyojuro, facing the master's impeccable nine-headed dragon flash, Kenshin has an epiphany. When Taishan is on the top, it is easy to choose death. It's okay, but for the people who love me in my heart and the people I love, and for those who need me, I want to live! The emergence of this desire to survive prompted Jian Xin to instantly understand the profound meaning of Yu Dao Liu, and resorted to the ultimate kill - Tian Xiang Long Shan, defeating the master. It is also Kenshin's absolutely tenacious desire to survive that in the duel with Zhizhixiong's life on the line, he can turn the tide, save the Meiji government, save Japan, and save peace. There is love in Kenshin's heart, which is the driving force that drives him to live. After Ming Wang Anci was defeated by Zuo Nosuke, he felt deeply that he had committed a monstrous sin due to his deep hatred for twenty years. His throat, Jian Xin stopped him, he said that he was a reformer at the end of the curtain, as a murderous assassin, his body was covered in blood, looking back on everything, Jian Xin also regretted that he had killed too much. I thought about suicide, but suicide doesn't change anything, only living to atone for sin. "Live to atone for sin" is also a sufficient reason to live. Only true warriors dare to face the bleak past and go on for justice. The thought of Rurouni Kenshin is positive, it is promoting"
What is death? Perhaps it is the separation of the soul from the body, moving from one living place to another living place, perhaps it is a distant stone monument standing at the end of life, perhaps it is the splendor of summer flowers in a moment, perhaps it is It is a big sleep that life expects. Perhaps it is an abstract concept that makes people realize the absurdity and value of their existence. The poet evokes the deepest call for life. It is an irresistible threat, the source of all human emotions. Confucius said: If you don't know life, how can you know death. Too many "maybe" question marks require us to experience straightening for the rest of our lives, even if it is really a tragedy, even if it is a lonely sword.
