In Zhuangzi's "Leisurely Travel", there is a fable about "the morning fungus does not know the obscurity, and the cockroach does not know the spring and autumn".
The story is short, but it is full of meaning.
Zhuangzi describes the transience and limitations of life by describing the fungus that dies in the morning and the cicadas that die in summer and autumn.
For the asahi mushroom, there is no change of night and day in its world, because it completes the entire process of life in one day, and for the cockroach, the warmth of spring and the coolness of autumn are the two seasons that it can never experience.
Zhuangzi pointed out that people in the world, like fungi and cockroaches, are often limited by their own time scales, and it is often difficult to get a glimpse of the whole picture of life, let alone comprehend the vastness of the universe and the length of time.
As the ancients said: "Life in the world is like a white horse passing through a gap, and it is all of a sudden." ”
Our life journey is full of unknowns and uncertainties, and on this vast stage of life, each character has its own unique script.
Today, we will explore the lunar birthdays that are said to be the most comfortable in old age and the more wealthy you get, with a relaxed attitude, to see if people born on these days really have the charm of "auspicious days".
Of course, fate is not static, it is influenced by many factors. Although the day of birth is endowed with a certain meaning, everyone's destiny is in their own hands.
Through continuous efforts and struggles, we can all create our own beautiful life.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao led a large army south, intending to dominate the world, and Wu and Shu faced an unprecedented crisis. In the face of the pressure of a strong enemy, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, two wise men, joined hands and staged a wonderful show of "planning things in people". They knew that it was almost impossible to confront Cao Cao's million-strong army head-on with the strength of the Wu and Shu coalition forces alone, so they carefully devised a series of strategies.
First of all, the legend of Zhuge Liang borrowing the east wind, although it has a certain mythological color, but in fact, Zhuge Liang formulated a fire attack plan through accurate prediction of the weather and the characteristics of the southeast wind in winter in the Yangtze River Basin. This is the embodiment of "planning in people", Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu carefully planned, prepared enough fireboats, and waited for the best time.
Then, Jiang Gan stole books, Pang Tong offered a series of schemes, and a series of psychological tactics and military layouts, all of which were artificial wisdom and efforts, aimed at weakening the combat effectiveness of Cao's army. They took full advantage of Cao Cao's suspicious personality and the weakness of Cao's northern soldiers who were not accustomed to water warfare, and advanced their strategy step by step.
However, "success in the sky" is also vividly reflected in this battle. When everything was ready and only the east wind was missing, Zhuge Liang accurately predicted the change of wind direction that night by observing astronomical meteorology, and the cooperation of this natural condition became the key to determining the victory or defeat of the war. The east wind suddenly rose, and the fire attack was carried out, and Cao's ships quickly spread the fire due to a series of schemes, causing heavy losses, and Cao Cao's great cause of unification was also severely damaged.
