1. [Avenue to Simplicity]
The avenue is often extremely concise, and it only takes a few words to decipher its essence. The difficulty in the world lies in simplifying the complex. The simplicity here is not rash and sloppy, nor is it naïve and ignorant, but the highest manifestation of wisdom, a symbol of maturity and wisdom. True perfection is often found in simplicity. Simplicity contains truth, simplicity is wisdom, simplicity is the power of accumulation and precipitation. Comprehending the simple way is not simple.
The complexity of things often stems from a lack of wisdom. No matter how large a thing is, as long as you look at it "in two", it will become simple and clear. No matter how difficult a problem is, as long as it is solved from a simple point of view and gradually, it will eventually be resolved. Therefore, complex things should be dealt with in a simple way, simple things need to be practiced repeatedly, and repetitive things need to be done with heart, and in the long run, there will be nothing difficult in the world. The road is simple, and the way to comprehension lies in the heart.
2. [Daichi Wakayu]
As the saying goes: being smart is mistaken by being smart, which means being too clever. We should learn from Zheng Banqiao's "rare confusion", which is the real wisdom. "Foolishness" does not mean true stupidity, but confusion on the surface and clarity in the heart; confusion in small things and shrewdness in big things. Lao Tzu once said: "Those who know others are wise, those who know themselves are clear; those who win are powerful, and those who win are strong." "The great wise man faces the world, has a peaceful mind, is calm and calm, has hills and valleys in his chest, governs by doing nothing, and hides deeply, as if there are millions of male soldiers in his chest. They are flexible in their actions, rather than being bold and courageous, nor are they scheming and greedy for small profits.
Although Yang Xiu was brilliant during the Three Kingdoms period, he ended up tragically and lost his life because he used the wrong time, place and object. When a wise person communicates with others, he pays attention to listening and respect, and is courteous and courteous. Listen more and talk less, which is not only self-contained, but also not to be regarded as dumb. If words are not speculative, they will only breed trouble if they are quick for a while. There is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the people, and the wise know that they know themselves and their opponents, so that they can survive a hundred battles. However, if you are too clever, you will be jealous, and if you are too shrewd, you will be stupid. Grasp the scale of life, abide by the "golden mean", and beware of the opposite.
3. [Tolerance is great]
The sea never dries up because it can hold rivers. A big belly can accommodate things that are intolerable in the world, such as the prime minister's belly can support a boat. Those who have small intestines will never tolerate people, and those who sit in the well and watch the sky will always be lonely and unheard. Only an empty glass can hold the true and pure wine, and the white paper can draw the most beautiful and best picture. Those who measure narrowness are not gentlemen, and jealousy is prone to misfortune. If you can forgive those who have made mistakes, you can make friends, and if you think of friends in your heart, you can become siblings and confidants. To be a man is to be generous, in order to be magnanimous, and to be broad-minded, in order to tolerate the world.
4. [Good as water]
This is the highest state of being a human being. "Water benefits all things without fighting", which means that the highest good deeds are like the character of water, and all things are not seeking fame and fortune. Water is the source of life and a precious treasure given by nature to mankind. Water is industrious, always switching between solid, liquid, and gaseous states, and the cycle is endless. Water treats all living beings equally, never lazy, and only knows how to give, not ask for anything in return. We should also be like water, be kind to others, abandon evil deeds, do more good deeds, do not seek utilitarian gains, and persevere. As the saying goes, "good desires are not true goodness, and evil is a great evil if people know about it." Turning away from the source of evil is the path to light. The root of diligence lies in the eternal life of all things.
When we hesitate or are absent-minded about something, when we have evil thoughts and impetuousness, when we have achieved fame and fame and breed vanity and utilitarianism, we might as well think deeply about the virtues of water. Accumulate virtue to be thick, you can "carry virtue" and reach the highest state of life.
