Chinese culture is broad and profound, has a long history, and is all-encompassing, one of the branches is the text, the creation of words and words, very interesting, sometimes seemingly simple, the use of a universal word or a word, hidden, contains the great wisdom of the ancestors.
People wish each other well and say "good luck" instead of "good luck to you", from which it can also be known that "fate" is predestined, unchangeable, and innate. And "luck" belongs to the day after tomorrow.
Whether it is the Confucian "Mandate of Heaven" or the Mo family's "non-predestination", it is not accurate enough, the combination of the two, dialectical view, can not be correct, so - "fate is determined by heaven, I am transported by I am not by heaven"
Some people have likened the fate of people to cattle and sheep on the grassland, the sky is clear, the wild is vast, and the wind blows grass and looks down on the cattle and sheep. There are also people who compare fate to sailing ships, all the way to the wind is the ideal state, in reality, will encounter difficulties and obstacles, all the way with the ups and downs of the waves.
No matter what kind of trough it is in, the Tang Dynasty poet Lu You's sentence "Mountains and rivers are doubtful and there is no way, willows are dark and flowers are bright and another village" is the most inspiring.
Many times, life will have signs, there is a preview, specializing in Chinese studies, Nan Huaijin, once put forward six words, if there are these six words in life, it means that it begins to turn from decline to prosperity, which six words? See if you have any.
First, quiet
In his Book of Commandments, Zhuge Liang once ranked "Jing" in the first place, saying that "Jing cultivates the body and frugality cultivates virtue", and to this day, this admonition is also used. Why be quiet? Because the more noisy the world is, the more people pursue quietness in their hearts. Only the inner "quiet" can listen to the wind in the pine, listen to the water near the waterfall, can listen to their own hearts, with "quiet", even if you can't do "spoil and not be alarmed, to stay unintentional", you will not "treat the boring as interesting"
Second, be patient
The ancients admonished: "Patience, can also, patience, patience", "forbearance" is a blade, put on the heart, according to the current discourse, is the "heart of the heart" encountered in life, encounter these things, need to endure, endure for a while calm.
Throughout the ages, there has been no shortage of people who have achieved great things who will "endure", and Yue Wang Gou Jian, Han Xin, Liu Bei, Sima Yi, etc., are all good and forbearing people, because they know that if they are small and intolerable, they will be chaotic and big.
Of course, patience also needs to have a bottom line.
Third, let's
People like to put "forbearance" and "let" together, called "forbearance", in fact, forbearance and let go are different concepts, forbearance is imposed on you by the outside world, unwilling, unwilling to call it forbearance, and let is willing, is to give in.
Taking a step back from the sea and the sky, sometimes, giving up a small part of one's own interests will get greater benefits, giving up the small and taking the big, and giving up the big and getting the big.
Forbearance is a kind of self-improvement, and letting is a kind of open-mindedness.
Fourth, slow
There are three manifestations of slowness, one is to speak slowly, and in the Analects, "noble people speak late", and sometimes, it is also a trick to deal with the world when you want to speak slowly.
One is to do things slowly, people often say "priority", unimportant things, can be slowed down, after all, people's energy, time is limited, everything should be used on the blade, can not let unimportant things, delay time. Things are slow and round, important and not urgent things, handled slowly, careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, because it is important, it is better not to make mistakes, not to rush for a while.
One is that life is slow, and with the development of society, the pace of people's lives accelerates. At the same time as flying, striding forward, you can also slow down, look at the scenery along the way, feel the family and friendship, but don't get lost in the fast-paced life, lose the true meaning of life.
Fifth, flat
"Ping" is a kind of peace, more refers to the heart. In life, people with peaceful temperaments and approachability are more likely to be welcomed by people. Peace is also a kind of equality, all come with spirituality, walk in this world, everyone is equal, meeting is fate, the world is the world of projection, treat the world peacefully, the world will also be gentle to you.
Sixth, light
Like "forbearance", the "flat" and "light" in "plain" are different, "light" refers more to the attitude of living in the world, is a kind of "thin", Zhuge Liang also mentioned in the "Book of Commandments": "non-indifferent is not clear", light is indifferent to the world, to enter the world with birth.
It is not easy to be thin, because there are too many temptations in this world, the imbalance in the heart is easy to produce jealousy, the weak will is easy to breed greed, and throughout the ages, how many people have been buried in the vortex of "jealousy" and "greed".
summary:
Nan Huaijin, in many fields such as traditional Chinese studies, medicine, astronomy, martial arts, etc., is not shallow, and is proficient in "Confucianism and Taoism", especially in the Confucian "Analects", the Taoist "Lao Zhuang" and the Buddhist "Zen", and has a deep academic attainment.
The above is the "six-character proverb" put forward by the old man Nan Huaijin through thinking about life - "quiet, forbearance, let go, slow, flat, and light", and began to realize that when practicing the above six words, it is a sign of life from decline to prosperity.
