In Chinese history, there has been a super bull.
His name is Liu Bowen, which is Also Liu Ji. Lu Xun once said: "How wise and close to the demon." Half-human, half-god.
In the first half of his life, he was depressed and unable to exert his ambitions, and then he was stripped of his military power and returned to his hometown qingtian to write "Yu Ion" in anger. After writing, he went out of the mountains to help Zhu Yuanzhang and laid the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty for 300 years.
What kind of book is such a cattle person writing? Even the Lu Xunlin Yutang, which has always been high, has praised and punched the clock.
I often think that if I go to a remote place, just bring this set of books with me. Really, even if I am an ordinary citizen, I can fight back in life and become "ancient Lu Xun".
Xiaobian read this set of books and felt a lot of feelings. I deeply feel that if people want to be happy or rich in this life, they must find time to read "Yu Ion".
This set of books contains too many confusions and answers to key choices in life that each of us will encounter.
In Liu Bowen's pen, those gods, ghosts, animals, and historical figures, as soon as they reach his eyes, instantly become funny and philosophical, enlightening life.
These stories became simple allegorical prose and the true meaning of life in his pen, and when we read them, the philosophers whispered, and immediately understood the way of survival of all things in heaven and earth. Become wise and calm.
It is no wonder that from the three hundred years since his inception, up to the emperor and nobles, the social elite, and even the ordinary people, they have loved this person's wisdom and attitude towards life.
If you are living a comfortable and happy life now, you may wish to read "Yu Ion", it will add icing on the cake to you, you will also think of danger in peace, you can cherish the present, recognize the "fixed number of all things in heaven and earth", identify the truth, and live thoroughly.
If you are in a low valley now, then you must read "Yu Ion", which can give you charcoal in the snow, give you strength, and make you break through the fog and find the light.
01
Reading "Yu Ion" is like breaking through the fog
See the truth, look for the light
The protagonist of the book is a very mysterious and eccentric legendary character Yu Ion. To a large extent, he is the embodiment of Liu Bowen. Yu Ion, incarnated as a foodie in the state of Qi, told such a story:
Qi Guo has a person who likes to scold people while eating, and the guests at home hate him, but they are embarrassed to say it. Before leaving, the guest gave the owner a dog and said: This dog can drive away animals and animals, and it is not a tribute to you. After the guests had walked twenty miles, the owner began to eat and asked the dogs to come and eat with them, but the dogs barked as they ate. The owner scolds above and the dog barks below, as it does at every meal.
The author tells the world through the mouth of Yu Ion: A person must first have self-inflicted insults, and others will insult you.
There was a farmer in The Sentence Chapter, and one day he heard a cry from the grass, so he pulled open the grass and actually got a pheasant, and he was overjoyed, so he covered the fence with grass again, hoping to get it from there again. The next day he went there to listen carefully, and felt that there was the same cry as before, and when he opened the grass to look, he caught a poisonous snake, and his hand was bitten by the snake, poisoned and died.
Yu Ion said: "Although this matter is small, it can serve as an important warning for people. There are unexpected blessings and unexpected disasters in the world. The little people don't know that the misfortunes are dependent on each other, so they regard the occasional fluke as a common thing. ”
When I read this story, it was really amazing, the old master told the story, no matter how deep the truth, after a little dialing, immediately the clouds and fog dissipated, refreshed.
When I read this sentence: The multi-powerful are fresh, and the multi-minded are fresh. This is a brilliant statement! People who know a wide range of things actually have very few things that they are really proficient in. People who worry too much about everything and have to think carefully about it are often difficult to make decisions when things happen. Metaphorically, erudition is not as good as specialization, and more worry is not a decision.
In the past, I have been suffering from gain and loss, I am a person with choice syndrome, I read this set of books, and now I am quick to cut through the mess, and the leader always says that I am like a change of person, and the efficiency is greatly improved.
The things that are frustrated are always born of what they are proud of. Liu Bowen used the story of "Yu Fu" to say such a truth: the reason why people are frustrated is mostly because they are too arrogant when they are happy, so that carelessness leads to the consequences. This sentence reminds the world that we should not forget our form when we are proud, otherwise we will be happy and miserable.
He has a noble and extremely wise mind, through the ups and downs of life, honor and disgrace, great right and wrong, he can easily resolve, and then smile lightly, just like he said through Yu Ion: There are blessings in the world that are not hopeful, and there are also misfortunes that are not hopeful.
He spoke of the confusion of life that we will encounter: the one who trees the world's grievances, but he values himself and despises others.
The wise man does not think that he has wisdom, and then no one fights with him. To resign from the name of wisdom and to have actual wisdom is the great wisdom of the world.
When I was young, I read "Yu Ion" with wisdom and vision; in middle age, I read about grasping opportunities and shortcuts to success; and in old age, I read about strategies and philosophical ways of transparency and success.
If you are making a mess of your life now and facing a crossroads in life, then you should read "Yu Ion", which can show you the direction, recognize the truth, avoid the minefield, let you be enlightened, soothe the psychology, and help you move towards the road to happiness and success.
Each of our lives often encounters the confusion of life, and even the intersection, a key step, will directly affect our life, a thought difference, is two opposite directions.
At this time, we need a wise man who shows us the way. A good book is like a wise man, which can bring us strength and direction.
02
"Yu Ion": Tear open the gorgeous robe
Discover the cruelty and luck of life
If we say that among contemporary writers, the enlightened person, the male lu xun, is the kind of sharp and ruthless criticism and exposure, into the wood three points.
The female has Zhang Ailing, who is a sigh of deep affection for human nature. These two people's depictions of human nature are often half-pointed, and their works make us often despair of human nature after discovering the cruelty of life.
Liu Bowen is compatible with the depth and affection of the two. He not only discovered the cruelty of the truth of life, he also discovered the deep beauty of life, and even, behind each truth, he can provide us with a variety of coping methods with his unique and wise vision, and point out the right direction for us to pursue success and happiness.
There is a chapter in "Yu Ion" called "Dedication to horses":
The author uses this story to warn us: If in real life, a person is very greedy, do not go too far to arouse his desire: it is better not to give gifts than not to send, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
In the book "Yu Ion", such reminders and warnings abound, and the little whites in the workplace must be careful.
In the face of growth, most people are teaching us: know more about people's feelings and sophistication, and learn more about the way to stand up.
"Yu Ion" not only puts forward various difficult and complicated diseases that we will often encounter in our lives, but also gives us solutions and good medicines. Just so-called: cage Wanhui, insight into the doubts, discerning the strange and strange, skillful in metaphor, but not losing the right.
No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang sighed after reading it: Those who get Liu Ji can win the world.
Liu Bowen will be the philosophy of dealing with the world, through a story, the complex and strange life, in front of you, from the perspective of the bystander, let you enlightened.
Many philosophies are told through a fable story, which is not difficult to read at all, and while reading, those usually esoteric and tangled problems of life are also solved.
