Looking at "Xiao Xiangguo's Family" and "Han Xin's Biography", I can't find the reason why Xiao He has so much confidence in Han Xin. This may be related to the ancients' "art of looking at qi", but the art of qi is mysterious and mysterious, and it is difficult to understand.
For example, when Liu Bang was still the chief of the pavilion, Lü Gong's family banquets invited local celebrities to participate, and Liu Bang also ran to participate at that time. When it came time to pay the gift money, Liu Bang, who was so poor, grinned and shouted, "Liu Ji sent ten thousand dollars and kept accounts", and then Shi Shi ran to eat and drink.
At this family banquet, Lü Gonghui fell in love with Liu Bang and married his beautiful daughter to this Liu Ji. Later, Liu Bang founded the Han Dynasty, and Lü Gong was indeed unique.
(Stills of Lü Gong and Liu Bang)
But why, to ask? Why Lü Gong had such great confidence in Liu Bang, whether it was a gamble or a talk of experience, we do not know, but similar "art of matching people" has also been used in later generations.
For example, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a habit of evaluating the character of the times. When he was a child, Cao Cao was so naughty that it gave adults a headache, and the great celebrity Xu Negative was reluctant to comment on Cao Cao. Later, Cao Cao "kidnapped" Xu Feng and forced him to comment on himself, and the old man had to say to him, "You, you, the powerful minister of ruling the world, the adulterous male of the chaotic world!" ”
The reason for this, why these people can accurately comment on people, may be four reasons:
One: the individual's own attributes.
For example, in the Three Kingdoms period, cui yan, a famous scholar of the Cui family, was known for his incorruptibility, so the talents he recommended were generally real talents. Therefore, in the game "Three Kingdoms Chronicles Power Enhanced Edition", he was assigned a "insight" skill, good at finding talents in the opposition, so that players can be recruited.
This kind of case of programming into the individual's "own attribute skills", just like Huang Shigong, he fell in love with Zhang Liang, and after "picking up shoes three times", he passed on the "Taigong Art of War" to Zhang Liang.
(Zhang Liang wears shoes for Huang shigong)
Second: through observation to find out whether the other party is a talent.
The ancients talked about "God", that is, the so-called "Spirit God", and the performance of "God" can be seen from the human eye.
Like a newborn child, the eyes are as beautiful as jewels, and when they grow up, they begin to become filthy due to the loss of "gods". If you grow up, the girl's eyes are still black and white, it will be very healthy and very beautiful, while the man's eyes are the most beautiful with "bright and energetic".
Once the spirit begins to weaken, the eyes become cloudy, or because of the lack of self-confidence in the heart, they become flickering, like a deer that escapes the living, which is the worst in the eyes of the ancient gods.
Therefore, "not everywhere to see its detachment, to do everywhere to see its needle and thread", there are some people who seem to be cautious in doing things, but the more careful they are, the less refined and less thorough; there are some people who seem to be bold and careless in their work, but look at their stitches, but they are cautious and thorough.
And the historical Han Xin is a person who is cautious and thoughtful, and judging from the various "immortal battles" he fought later, he is both bold and bold and meticulous.
Xiao He is also the third master of the Han Dynasty, the so-called "things are clustered by kinds, people are divided into groups", people with the same ability and the same personality, once they meet, they will naturally come together.
Third: from experience, to determine what kind of person the other party is.
After reading more history books, it is indeed difficult to have a good feeling for Zeng Guofan, a shaver, but after reading his books, you must affirm his strength. How to judge a person from experience, the book "Ice Book" also gives a good reference answer.
1: When he was talking to people, he suddenly turned his eyes and thoughts to other places, which showed that such people were insincere; when everyone was laughing and laughing, he was sneering indifferently on the side, which showed that this kind of person was cold and unsympathetic, and this kind of person was deep in the city government, sinister in heart, and could not establish friendship with them;
2: The opinions expressed by others may not be completely appropriate, but he echoes them from the sidelines, which shows that this person has no definite opinion; he has not yet dealt with this person, but he has maliciously slandered and slandered others behind his back, which shows that this person is open-minded and irresponsible. Such people are vulgar and vulgar, despicable and shameful, and cannot cooperate with them;
3: No matter what he encounters, he will not be able to say anything, and once the matter is approaching, he hesitates and hesitates, which shows that this person is indecisive; when he encounters a thing that is not worth moving at all, he is sad and tearful, and he is moved by feelings, which shows that this person lacks reason. The kindness of such people is purely "the benevolence of women" and cannot be sincere with them.
The article explains that although the above three moods may not be able to determine a person's lifelong fate, if you look at it in reverse, you can learn a lot of things.
Fourth: Through conversation, determine whether the other party is a talent.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and Yuan Shao was in charge of the "Fourth Dynasty and Three Dukes", and Guo Jia first went to him. However, through many conversations and observations, Guo Jia finally withdrew without any nostalgia. Before leaving, he commented on Yuan Shao like this, "Yuan Gong apprenticed to serve the Zhou Gong as a corporal, and he did not know the opportunity to use people!" ”
(Guo Jia chooses between Yuan and Cao)
Remember, in the eyes of the wise man, your every word and deed, every move, he will see in his eyes, rotten in his heart, this is not pretend. Later, Guo Jia ran to Cao Cao, and through some conversation, Cao Cao was very happy, and Guo Jia also said happily, "True Lord! ”
All this confirms the saying, "The so-called great talent does not care about your attitude toward him, but whether what you do can enter his eyes." Yuan Shao learned Zhou Gong's "one mu three hair, one meal and three spit feeding" to the fullest, but Guo Jia still left.
From this, it can be seen that Xiao He had so much confidence in Han Xin, and it must have been through "looking at qi", then observing and talking, which determined that this was the great talent needed by Liu Bang, the king of Han. It's just that sometimes, because our vision and knowledge accumulation are not enough, I don't know what kind of standard answer he uses to refer to it.
We cannot ignore the wisdom of the ancients, and how Xiao can pass on his name to future generations is not without reason!
