What does fate look like?
Ming Dynasty writer Feng Menglong said: "Everything is fate, and nothing is up to anyone." ”
Anyone wants to change their fate, but there are always some difficulties, follow them like a shadow, and they can't get rid of it until the day they leave Hongchen.
For example, the Tang Dynasty poet Li He is as famous as Li Bai - "Taibai Immortal Cai, Changji Ghost Cai".
Talent has enhanced Li He's fame, but also changed his mental outlook, and he has more opportunities to make friends, but the poverty of life has not fundamentally changed. Even more regrettable, he died young.
From his poems, carefully interpreted, the impermanence of fate is in it.
01
There are many people who are popular.
Poetry: Pang Mei is a guest and feels Qiupeng, who knows that the dead grass gives birth to a gorgeous wind. I now hang my wings and attach myself to the Underworld, and he will not be ashamed of the snake and be a dragon.
Translation: An ordinary scholar living in a foreign country can meet the wind of spring like withered grass, and a bird that hangs down its wings can meet a wild goose, and he will surely become a small snake into a great dragon one day.
Li He's ancestors were members of the royal family, but by his generation, he had fallen into the middle of the family. My father was also a county official, and it was difficult for him to support his family.
Although his family background is not good, Li He studies very hard and can write essays at the age of seven.
One day, he intersected with the writers Han Yu and Huangfu Xiang, and he wrote "Gao Xuanguo" in response to the occasion, which was impressive.
Since then, Han Yu has taken care of Li He many times and recommended him as a student.
Even Li Shangyin, a celebrity at that time, couldn't help but praise him: "It's time to vomit out your heart." ”
With hard skills, Li He walked into the Jinshi examination room.
I wanted to become famous in one fell swoop, but I was made difficult by jealous people in every way. An official said: "Li He's father, Li Jinsu, "Jin" has the same sound as "Jin", so he can't be a Jinshi." ”
The inexplicable rhetoric caused Li He to no longer be able to conduct scientific research, even if Han Yue supported and explained in every possible way, it was to no avail.
The dramatist William Shakespeare once said, "Those who nourish envy and wickedness dare to bite even when they see the best." ”
People are like this, they want the poor to live a better life, but they don't want to be better than themselves.
Being jealous of others is as uncomfortable as eating a fly. But the more people who are jealous, or the more people who are jealous, the smell of flies will be accepted.
As ordinary people, we all want to fly on the branches and become phoenixes, but we don't know that the birds on the branches will interfere in every way. It's like one mountain can't tolerate two tigers.
I have worked hard for many years, but in the end, the bamboo basket has been empty. More than once in history. The same is true of Tang Bohu in the Ming Dynasty, because the scientific examination questions were wonderfully written, he was actually identified as fraud and was imprisoned for this.
finally became popular, but as a result, he was suppressed everywhere, and his fate was unbearable.

Every one leaps over the where it is lowest.
Poetry: The osmanthus flowers are scarce under the snow, and the cry is bounced back. Guan Shui rode the shadow of a donkey, and Qin Feng's hat hung down.
Translation: The osmanthus was crushed by the heavy snow, and it was scattered. The crow was hit and returned home with injuries. The reflection in the water is lonely, and the wind makes the hat band hang low.
Li He, who could not be admitted to the Jinshi, went home dejected. Think about it, how to explain to your family and what to say to your lover? In my melancholy, I wrote this poem "Out of the City."
Han Yu and others felt sorry for Li He, and recommended him to follow his father's position and become a nine-grade petty official, Fenglilang.
There are tens of thousands of people in the huge Chang'an City, but Li He is getting more and more lonely. I lived there for three years and had a few friends, but it was difficult to make friends.
After all, people like to be inflammatory, so how can they mix with people who have fallen off the list and people whose reputations have become bad for a long time? Everyone is worried that those who are close to ink are black.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the bad luck was looking for a miserable person. He had no chance of promotion, and he heard that his wife had died in his hometown. simply resigned and went home.
It turns out that in the circle of crows, swans have no place to stand.
When you don't go well, you will know that the wall is falling down and everyone is pushing it. Even your relatives and friends look down on you, and they are afraid that you will borrow money and ask for things.
Su Qin during the Warring States period also had a similar experience. The first time I went out to look for a job, I was ridiculed by King Qin, and then I went home in disgrace, sold all the carriages halfway, and changed the travel expenses.
When he got home, his wife and sister-in-law ignored him, and his parents thought he was a beggar.
We thought that when people were poor, there would be a lot of enthusiastic people, but this is not the case. It's good to have a hand stretched out once in a while, and there are very few people who really help out.
You are destined to walk through poverty alone until the day you become rich. But what day is that day?
03
People are sick and dying.
Poetry: Declining Lan sends guests to Xianyang Road, if there is love in the sky, the sky is also old. The moon is desolate with a disk, and Weicheng has been far away.
Translation: Withered orchid used to send off guests, God has love, but because of sadness has become old. Under the moon is a lonely shadow, in the distance is Chang'an, and the sound of Weishui waves becomes very small.
Li He, who was unwilling, once again sought fame, and after the recommendation of Zhang Che in Luzhou, he served as a staff member in the mansion of Xi Shimei, the envoy of the Zhaoyi Army, for three years.
At that time, the Tang Dynasty was in decline, and the vassal kings were fighting each other. Xi Shimei consulted martial arts and simply recuperated, Li He was unemployed again and couldn't afford to get sick. In his illness, he wrote "The Song of the Golden and Bronze Immortals".
Minister Wei Zhuang asked the emperor to rehabilitate Li He, but it was not done.
It turns out that when a person is sick, he will not be favored by fate, and it can even be seen that many people die in pain.
In real life, when a person is sick, it is difficult to borrow money, because people are afraid that you will never be able to pay it back; if you have a position, the pain will be transferred to others after a long time, and you can't always wait for you to get better; for the family, there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, and it is also helpless.
Too many people have to survive the pain, but it is really difficult.
Master Xingyun once said: "Illness can make oneself wary of the impermanence of life, and stimulate the heart of diligent pursuit of the Tao, which is really a good medicine for practitioners to treat slackness." ”
When you are sick, you will know a lot and have more views on life, but maybe you will be a little late in awakening.

So the question is, how do we crack the fate of impermanence?
To solve the bell, you must also tie the bell, and find answers in everything from your own life, rather than intervening in other people's lives, let alone slandering others, and blindly confronting opponents.
When people are popular, they pretend to be stupid in a low-key manner.
The wisdom of wisdom and foolishness can be used at any time. You look stupid and will be disliked, but you will not be envied and will rarely be guarded against.
Don't always be on the cusp of the storm, that's where others want. You take a step back, the sea and the sky are wide.
When people are poor, they make a fortune in silence.
Be an invisible rich man, don't spend money indiscriminately, don't show off, don't belittle others.
If you can't become an official, go to business, or become an idle crane. If you really can't do it, you can farm, work, and develop slowly, and there is a way in low-level groups. Learn crafts, engage in breeding, write articles, you can do it.
When people are sick, they should recuperate.
Don't be in pain, still have mental exhaustion, and still throw yourself in desire.
You need to rest well and understand that health is the greatest asset. The current conditions are good, it is not a serious illness, it can get better, and the future can be expected.
There are too many uncontrollable fates, but they are not too messy, and the way to change fate is regular, and of course it varies from person to person.
Learn to set goals, work hard to improve your abilities, master the tricks of flexibility, and the door of luck will open for you.
