After three generations of zhu family's ancestors and grandchildren "went offline", Zhu Qizhen, who had been spoiled since childhood, led 500,000 troops to face The Wara Under the seduction of the eunuch Wang Zhen, as a result, they were also raided by the Wara Taishi at Tumu Fort, the Ming army was lost, more than half of the casualties were inflicted, and Zhu Qi Town was also taken captive by the Wallachians, which was the turning point of the Ming Dynasty's national fortunes, "The Change of Tumu Fort"!
Don't be afraid of all the broken bones, and leave your innocence in the human world!
After the "Change of Tumu Fort", the Wala army continued to move south and besiege the city of Beijing, according to the "History of Ming": at the time of the survival of the Ming Dynasty, Yu Qianli, who was then the attendant of the military department, resolutely refused to withdraw south, and together with other ministers, he welcomed The King of Qi as emperor, personally defended the city and refused to send Emperor Yingzong back to Beijing first. Under the leadership of Yu Qian, the Ming Dynasty finally won the "Defense War of Beijing".
The Ming Dynasty was able to "continue to live" successfully, and Yu Qian's "backbone" was indispensable, as he said in "Lime Yin": All bones are not afraid, and they must remain innocent in the human world!
The Chinese nation attaches the greatest importance to integrity, "integrity" is to put it bluntly, it is bone qi, and the working people have a more down-to-earth expression for this: "I would rather be the soil under the feet of the poor than the chairman of the rich"!
"I'd rather be the soil under the feet of the poor than the chairman of the treasury"
From a literal point of view, "I'd rather be the soil under the feet of the poor than the rich chairman Shangzhen" is to prefer to do the soil under the feet of the poor than to do the delicacies on the table of the "landlord's old wealth", in order to warn people to have a backbone, not to climb the magnates, and "not to bend the waist for five buckets of rice"!
The root cause of the Chinese nation's ability to continue to this day is our national integrity, and whenever the country is alive and dead, the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation will stand up and resist foreign enemies with the backbone of "not being afraid of all broken bones" and defend the country.
Taking the recent War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression as an example, it is precisely because there are a large number of revolutionary martyrs who are not afraid of death and have backbones, such as Liu Hulan, Jiang Jie, and Xia Minghan, that we can defeat Chinese the Japanese aggressors and win the final victory.
Therefore, the Chinese nation has attached great importance to "backbone education" from ancient times to the present, just as Mencius said, "The rich and noble cannot be adulterous, the poor cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent"; Su Shi said that "those who have great ambitions in ancient times must not only have supernatural talents, but also have the will to persevere"; Wei Zheng said that "if the longitudinal plan is not enough, the generosity will still exist", and Li Bai said, "An can destroy the eyebrows and bend the waist of the magnates, so that I cannot be happy"...
The working people are not able to "export into chapters" like these literati and inkers, but they have also formed a "easy to understand" saying in their long-term production practice: "It is better to be the soil under the feet of the poor than to be the chairman of the rich"! It sounds a bit "tacky", but it's more down-to-earth!
Poor and difficult, do not fall into my ambition!
With the persistence and struggle of generations of "backbone" benevolent people, we have finally won the victory of the new democratic revolution, established a great new China, and rejuvenated our country through reform and opening up, so that the Chinese nation will soon stand on the top of the world's nations again!
Then, in today's society of national peace and security and peace in the world, there is no need for us to be like the old ancestors said: "It is better to be the soil under the feet of the poor than to be the chairman of the wealth and the treasure"!
There is no doubt that of course it is! There is a way that "a man of lofty ideals does not eat the food that comes from the mouth", the poor are not afraid, as long as there is ambition, there is backbone, there will eventually be a day of the head, afraid of no backbone, no ambition, all day long thinking about climbing the magnate, tending to be inflammatory, such a person is not only "poor" look down on, "rich man" is even more despised, they will only regard such a person as a "dog" who will come and go at once, live to such a point, what is the meaning of life?
When the founder of Alibaba Group gave up the work of "within the establishment" and chose to start a business, "Internet" was still a new term in China, and many people had never heard of it, so his entrepreneurial road was extremely difficult, and many times he was driven out as a liar.
But he was never frustrated by this, and did not give up his perseverance, when he had little achievements, countless people threw him an olive branch, wanted to recruit him to serve under his command, without exception, were strictly rejected by him, it is with this indomitable integrity and backbone, Ma Yun finally succeeded in starting a business.
Today, Alibaba Group has become the premier "Big Mac" in China, which not only has changed our lives dramatically, but also pushed Jack Ma to the richest man many times!
Therefore, the temporary poverty is not afraid, what is afraid is that there is no backbone, there is a way is "poor and difficult, do not fall into my ambition of qingyun!" As long as we have the ambition and adhere to the original intention, "I would rather be the soil under the feet of the poor than the chairman of the wealth", there will be a day when we will emerge!
brief summary:
No matter what era you are in, backbone is indispensable for people to live in the world, a humble and flattering person may have temporary glory and scenery, but in the end they will have nothing, become dust, be looked down upon by the world, and even leave a name for eternity, just like Qin Juniper and his wife who are still kneeling in front of Yue Fei's tomb!
"It is better to be the soil under the feet of the poor than to be the chairman of the rich", such simple words have exhausted the "ultimate mystery" of people's life, the wisdom of the working people should not be underestimated, and the sayings passed down from generation to generation are the crystallization of their wisdom, which still has reference significance for today, we must pay attention to it!
