Asasan Go-shi
Be a person who looks down on gains and losses, and does things less carefully
The Sniper Gong endowed the man with the words, "Towards three and twilight at four." "The snipers are angry. "Then it is four and three." "Everyone is happy. The name is not lost and the mood is used, and it is also because it is also. - "Zhuangzi QiWu Theory"
One year when the harvest was under-harvested, the monkey keeper said to his monkey, "Now there is not enough food, you must save some food." How about eating three acorns every morning and four in the evening?" The monkeys were very angry and shouted, "Too few! Why don't you eat as much in the morning as you do in the evening?" The monkey keeper hurriedly said, "Then how about eating four in the morning and three in the evening?" The monkeys were all happy to hear this, and felt that they had eaten more in the morning than at night, and that they had already won.
Sentiment:
Chao San Twilight Four expounded such a philosophical truth, whether it is Three Twilight Four or Four Twilight Three, in fact, what the monkeys have received has not increased or decreased, and it is ridiculous that the monkeys turned angry into joy. People are always trying to distinguish between different properties of things, without knowing that things themselves have identity. In the end, like a monkey, he was blinded by the three twilights and the four twilights. Admonish people to let go of the mortal mind of calculating gains and losses, because every death, gain and loss of a person's life is a temporary, and in the end we will find that we have not lost anything, nor have we gained anything. For no matter how many forms there are, there is only one essence.
Monkeys can do it
Man must be proud, but not proud
King Wu floated on the river and climbed the mountain of snipe. When the snipers saw this, they abandoned and fled, fleeing to the depths. There is a sniper; The snake scratched, and saw the king. Wang Shoots, Min gives Bo Jieya. The king ordered the phaser to shoot and snipe to death. Wang Gu said that his friend Yan did not doubt: "The sniper is also." Cut it down, bully it, give it to Ao, and so on. Ring no Ya! Woohoo! Proud of the color! "Yan did not doubt his return, and Shi Dongwu, in order to help him, went to lesbian manifestation; three years, and the Chinese people called it." - "Zhuangzi Xu Wu Ghost"
King Wu took a boat to play in the river and climbed a monkey mountain. When a group of monkeys saw this, they all fled in panic and hid in the bushes of thorns; only one monkey jumped around triumphantly, deliberately showing off his dexterity in front of King Wu. King Wu took up his bow and arrow and shot at it, and the monkey quickly caught the flying arrow. King Wu ordered the attendants on both sides to fire arrows together, and the monkey was shot to death. King Wu turned back to his friend Yan Bu and said, "This monkey boasted of his dexterity, his agility, and his pride in front of me, so much so that he died like this." Be alert! Don't take pride in your position to others! After Yan Buqi went back, he worshipped the sage Dong Wu as a teacher, tried his best to overcome his arrogance, stayed away from beautiful vocal music, and no longer showed his face. After three years, the whole country praised him.
In the eighth year of Xianfeng, Zeng Guofan said in a letter to Zeng Guoquan: "In ancient times, there were about two ends to the defeated by fierce virtue: long pride and many words. Dan Zhu is not shawl, and he is proud of the lawsuit, that is, he is more than a word. Looking at the famous gongjuqing, many of them lost their lives at this end. Here Zeng Guofan pointed out the two major virtues and weaknesses of ordinary people: arrogance and talking. Once people have an arrogant heart, they will inevitably relax their vigilance in all aspects, and disasters and failures will inevitably follow. Pride is the way to self-destruction, so the ancients said that arrogant soldiers will be defeated. In the West, Shakespeare also once said: "A proud man always ends up destroying himself in pride." "No matter how much skill you have, you can't use it as a source of pride." Modesty and prudence are the ways to behave in the world.
Sigh
There are people outside the world, and we must not be complacent in dealing with the world
When the autumn water arrives, the hundred rivers irrigate the river. The flow is so large that between the two cliffs, there are no cattle and horses. Therefore, Hebo was happy and proud, and took the beauty of the world as his own. Heading east along the river, as for the North Sea, looking east and not seeing the end of the water. So Yanhe Bo began to turn his face, looking at the ocean and sighing: "The wild language has a saying: 'Hear the tao hundred, think that it is not self-like. I mean it too. And I have tasted the smell of the young Zhongni, and the righteous one who is light on The Righteousness, the First Wu Fu Faith. Now I see the difficulty of the Son, and if I am not at the door of the Son, I am gone, and I have long seen and smiled in the house of generosity. - "Zhuangzi Qiushui"
Autumn came, heavy rain fell, and countless small streams of water flowed into the Yellow River. Only to see the waves, the river swelled, flooded the sandbar in the center of the river, soaked the depression on the shore, the river surface suddenly widened, looking across the water, even the cattle and horses on the other side of the river could not distinguish between the big livestock. How spectacular the scene in front of him was, and Hebo thought that the waters of the world had gathered to him, and he couldn't help but be proud. He walked east with the flowing water, admiring the water as he walked. He came to the North Sea and looked east, and he couldn't help but be surprised, but he saw that the water and the sky were connected, and he didn't know where the end of the water was. Hebo looked at it in a daze for a while before turning his face to the sea and sighing: "As the saying goes: 'Whoever knows a little more about the truth thinks that he is better than anyone else.'" That's what I said. And I had heard that some people had belittled Jonny's knowledge and despised Boyi's righteousness, and at first I didn't believe it. Now I see the vastness of the sea, and if I don't get here, how dangerous it is, and I will always be ridiculed by knowledgeable people. ”
There are no mountains, no flat land; no sea, no streams. There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are heavens outside the sky. Each of us is actually very small. Looking forward and sighing literally means looking up and sighing because of great things, and by extension, lamenting one's own smallness in the face of great things. Nowadays, many metaphors feel helpless when doing things because they are incompetent or unconditional. This parable is intended to tell us that we should not be arrogant and arrogant, let alone be arrogant, and that kind of thinking and practice of sitting in a well and watching the sky and the night lang are really undesirable. You must know that there are people outside the people, and there is a sky outside the sky!
Luhou raises birds
Do not treat others with yourself and make subjective assumptions
In the past, the seabirds stopped at the outskirts of Lu, and the Luhou emperor visited the temple. Playing "Nine Shao" for fun, with too firm for food. The bird was blinded by sorrow, did not dare to eat a cup, did not dare to drink a cup, and died in three days. This is also to raise birds by oneself, but also to raise birds with birds. - "Zhuangzi Outer Chapters, Zhile"
Once upon a time, a seabird landed on the outskirts of the capital of the Lu kingdom, and Lu Hou thought that it was a divine bird, so he caught it, personally welcomed it to the ancestral temple, respectfully set up a feast to greet it, and offered it up, played "Nine Shao" to it every day, and arranged for the cattle, sheep, pigs, and three animals to have the "Tai Prison" to eat for it. Lu Hou's hospitality made the seabird dizzy and panicked, and did not dare to eat any meat, nor did he dare to drink a glass of water, and died after three days.
"Luhou Raising Birds" satirizes those monarchs who do not raise birds in the correct way to raise birds, but use the method of raising their own birds. In this way, it is revealed that good wishes must conform to facts, and if only subjective wishes are contrary to objective reality, good things will become bad things. Don't look at the object, act completely according to your own likes and dislikes, and good intentions will also make things worse. There are great differences between people and things. What you think is best, others may feel bad, and may even feel the worst. Be a person, do not treat others with yourself, subjective assumptions, which often lead to the failure of things, we must keep in mind that subjective wishes should conform to objective reality.
With the beads of the sparrow
Do things to measure the weight
Now there are people here, with the pearl of the hou, the bird of a thousand birds, and the world will laugh. Why? Then those who use it are heavy, and those who want it are light. - "Zhuangzi Jean King"
The Pearl of Suihou is a very precious orb. There was a man who liked to fight birds, but he used the beads as a projectile to shoot a sparrow flying in the sky. People looked at him and laughed at him. What is the rationale for this? This is because the price paid is too expensive and the things you get are too slight.
According to records, in the splendid ancient history of the mainland, there are two treasures that are equally famous in the world and must be fought for by successive emperors, that is, the Wall of Heshi and the Pearl of Sui Hou. There is a detailed record of these two treasures in the Han Feizi: "The wall of the Heshi is not decorated with five cai; the pearl of the Sui Marquis is not decorated with silver and yellow, and its quality is beautiful, and the object is not enough to decorate." The Huainan Zi Lan Meditation Also says: "For example, the pearl of the Sui Marquis, the Bi of the Heshi, the one who gains is rich, and the one who loses is poor." ”
The Pearl of Sui Hou is extremely valuable, and if you use it to catapult the Sparrow of a Thousand Dragons, it will not be worth the loss, and its function is far inferior to that of an ordinary projectile. "With the beads of the sparrow" is often used as a metaphor for doing things without knowing the weight of measurement, so what is gained cannot compensate for what is lost, and it is also often used as a metaphor for oversized. To do anything, you have to pay attention to the importance, and it is a very stupid act to throw away very valuable things for the sake of things that have no value.
The father-in-law bears the sting
Be more focused on doing things
Zhongni Shichu, out of the forest, sees the rickets bearing the stingrays, and the one who is still in the woods. Jonny said, "Son! Is there a way? "I have a way." In May and June, if you are tired of two pills and do not fall, you will lose the baht; if you are tired of three and do not fall, you will lose eleven; if you are tired for five and do not fall, you will also lose. I am in the same place, if the sleigh is bound; if I hold the arm, if the branch of the mallet is also. Although the heavens and the earth are great, and there are many things, and only the wings know; I do not oppose or side, do not take the wings of all things that are easy to fall, what is not to be! Confucius gu said to his disciples: "There is no distinction between intentions, but concentration on God, and the meaning of his rickets and fathers- and masters!" --Zhuangzi Dasheng
Confucius went to the Chu Kingdom, passed through a forest, and saw a hunchbacked old man holding a long bamboo pole in his hand. The old man's skills were very skilled, as long as he wanted to stick to it, no one could escape, as if it were easy to pick it up. Confucius said in amazement: "Your technique is so ingenious, there is probably some way!" ”
The hunchbacked old man said, "I do have a method." In the summer, when the stickiness is known in May and June, if you can put two balls on the top of the bamboo pole without letting the ball fall, you will rarely be able to escape when you know it; if you put three sticks and don't fall down, ten will only be able to escape one; if you put five sticks and don't fall down, sticking is as easy as picking up things by hand. You see me standing here, as steady as a stake; I raise my arms, and I do not move like a dead branch; although the heavens and the earth around me are vast and boundless, and everything in the world is full of colors, and there are only the wings of knowledge in my eyes. Nothing in the outside world can distract my attention, it can't affect my attention to the wings of knowledge, how can I not stick to the knowledge? ”
Confucius listened, turned back to his disciple and said, "Concentrate on concentration, and your skills can be practiced to the point of divinity." This is what the hunchback old man said! ”
Throughout the ages, all those who have achieved something can never be half-hearted, half-hearted, and chaotic, and most of them are people who are single-minded and determined to move forward. One point of hard work and one point of harvest, spring and autumn fruits, these are eternal truths. Ji Yun of the Qing Dynasty wrote in the "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang": "There is no one in the world whose heart is not in the matter but who can do things, nor does he have the heart in the matter but in the extreme, the heart is in an art, his art will work; the heart is in a post, his office will be lifted." "Where time and energy are, where the achievements are gained, if a person can eliminate all the interference of the outside world, concentrate his energy, study and practice diligently, he can practice excellent skills." If you don't specialize, you can't." To be a person, we should be more attentive and less impetuous; more perseverance, less twilight; more good beginnings and ends, and less tigers and tails.
