Do not compete with the "three seasons of people"

Remembering that when I went to the countryside, in the days of agricultural leisure, a few Zhiqing talked about the descendants of Yanhuang in Zhiqingdian, some said that we were the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, some said that we were the descendants of the YanDi, and argued endlessly about this, at this time, the director of the village security department walked in, he was an old poor and lower-middle peasant in his 50s, he had not gone to school, his heart was very kind, and the relationship with our Zhiqing was also good.

After listening to the argument for a while, he suddenly said indignantly: You are all wrong, what emperor, the descendants of the salt land? We are not their children.... Everyone listened stunned for a while, and then looked at him and laughed, and the security director looked dazed, and his mouth was still muttering: What emperor salt land descendants, say something, turn around and leave sadly.

In the seventies, back to the city for employment, the next year, in the factory "doubles" office to help, mainly to engage in external transfer, the office 3 people are temporarily drawn from the workshop, department, a propaganda officer, a X youth transferred from the workshop, the two are very close, like to pick other people's faults, nothing to do with some small actions. The other is a college student, surnamed Song in his 40s, rong adult, a mouth of The East Sea, very realistic, speaking straight, but often squeezed by the two people.

Once, Song Relish talked about the experience of going to college, X Youth made the shape of a trumpet behind him, which means "blowing", Master Song was completely unaware, the propaganda officer cooperated with laughter, and the two of them looked like villains.

One day, Master Song came in from outside and said: "Just now, the forklift hit the stacked asbestos cement pipe, almost smashing people, scaring me out of a cold sweat...", the propaganda officer interrupted him and said: "What 'cold sweat', sweating is hot sweat, people sweat when they are hot, where is there any cold sweat?".

"How come there is no cold sweat? People who are nervous and afraid will break out in a cold sweat, which is called mental sweating."

"Hey hey, really college students, there are a lot of new words, we haven't heard of mental sweating." Youth X sneered softly. "When nervous, emotionally agitated, and frightened, sweating on the palms, soles, armpits, and faces is called mental sweating," Master Song explains. The two contradicted each other, and the three argued endlessly.

Maybe they really don't know the basic common sense of "cold sweat", or pretend not to know that it is a normal metaphor, deliberately argue, such an argument has no results, or understand in their hearts, just to pick the bones in the egg, find Master Song's stubble, if so, it is even more incomprehensible, because you can never wake up a person who pretends to sleep.

Some people, because of different experiences, different environments, different horizons, different heights of standing, naturally different perspectives on the problem, so there is no need to argue with them. As for those who have different views or ulterior motives, this is a different matter.

The Analects of Zigong asked about the allusion that there is an account of not competing with grasshoppers for four seasons.

Confucius's student Zigong was sweeping the floor outside the door, and a guest asked him: Who are you? Zigong said: I am a disciple of Mr. Kong! The man said, "Great, I'll ask you a question." Zi Gong thought to himself, he probably has some strange problems, right? Unexpectedly, the man's question was simple: How many seasons of the year?

Zigong thought to himself, is such a simple question still to be asked, so he replied: There are four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter. The man shook his head and said, "No! There are only three seasons a year. Zigong said: "Hey, you're mistaken, there are four seasons in a year!" "Three seasons!" The last two men quarreled and argued, so they bet that if it was four seasons, he would kowtow three heads to Zigong. If it was three seasons, Zigong would kowtow three times to the man. Zigong thought that he had won this time, so he prepared to take the guests to see the teacher Confucius.

Just as Confucius came out of the house, Zigong came forward and asked, "Teacher, what seasons are there in a year?"

Confucius looked at the man, looked at him for a moment and said: There are three seasons in a year. Zigong was startled, but he didn't dare to ask right away. The man said, "Kowtow, kowtow!" Zigong had no choice but to obediently prostrate his head three times.

After the man left, Zigong couldn't wait to ask Confucius: Teacher, there are obviously four seasons in a year, how do you say three seasons? Confucius said: Didn't you see that the person just now was all green? He's a grasshopper! Grasshoppers are born in the spring, they die in the autumn, they have never seen winter, you talk about three seasons he will be satisfied, you talk about the four seasons until the night does not make sense. You suffer losses, prostrate three heads, it doesn't matter, don't be so pedantic in the future.

The Sixth Volume of the Zhuangzi Collected Interpretations of the Outer Chapter, Qiu Shui, Beihai, also says: "The well frog shall not speak to the sea, but shall be confined to the void; Summer worms cannot speak to the ice ones, and they must not speak to the ice ones, and the qushi cannot speak to the Taoists, and they must not be bound to the teachings. ”

This means that the frog in the well cannot be told about the sea because its vision is limited by a small dwelling place; The worm who lives and dies in summer cannot talk to him about ice and snow because his vision is conditioned by the seasons; he cannot talk to him about the great truth to the lesser-informed man because his vision is bound by the education he has received.

The "three seasons of people" in the world can be seen from time to time, there is no need to argue with him about the difference in knowledge, when you meet those who are unreasonable, you think that it is a "three seasons person", and you are relieved.
