Speaking of Han Xin, everyone is not unfamiliar, there is a saying that "Han Xin lowered the army, many are also good", Han Xin as a politician and military figure who helped Liu Bang lay down the Han Dynasty and left a name in history. There is also a well-known story, that is, Han Xin's "crotch humiliation" when he was young, so as a young man with great ambitions, why did he have to accept the humiliation of crotch at that time?

When he was a teenager, Han Xin's family was not well-off, his parents died early, he had to send people to the fence, often ate the last meal without eating, and often accepted a help called "Drifting Mother" when fishing in the river, but Han Xin had the world in his heart, often carried a sword, studied the art of war, pointed out the country, and was ready to go. How did such a good young man attract the humiliation of stepping down?
According to the "Chronicle of the Marquis of Huaiyin": "There were insulting believers in the huaiyin slaughter, saying: "If you grow up, you will carry a sword, and you will be timid." The insults of all: "Faith can die, stab me, cannot die, out of my crotch." So he looked at it, leaned out of the hakama, and crawled. Everyone in the city laughed and believed that they were timid. ”
Literally, Tu Shao let Han Xin climb under the step, so Han Xin climbed over from Tu Shao's step. As for how Han Xin offended the butcher, there have always been three theories
1, Han Xin sword, Tu Shao wanted Han Xin's sword, Han Xin did not give
2. Han Xin was hungry and stole the butcher's meat
3, the "drifting mother" is sick and needs nutrition, Han Xin in order to repay the drifting mother, to Tu Shao credit meat
The above three statements seem to make sense, but if you think about it, the pattern is small. The reason why the humiliation of stepping down has been passed down to this day, in addition to the meaning of "humiliation", it is more important to endure the humiliation and bear the burden and then work hard, which is to hone the mind and taste the courage of the salary. First of all, from the "Chronicle of the Marquis of Huaiyin", the reason why Tu Shao wanted to insult Han Xin was purely because he had nothing to do and a pure heart to find fault. Seeing Han Xin walking around the street with a sword, I am very unaccustomed to it, I Tu Shao is also a figure with a head and a face on this street, today is to take you Han Xin to establish a will.
Then why didn't Han Xin assassinate "Tu Shao" with a sword, but chose to climb over from Tu Shao's step and be willing to suffer the humiliation of this crotch? The ancients can pay more attention to integrity than modern people, even if they are put into modern times, when they encounter this situation, it is also a sword!
First of all, this is the difference between Han Xin and ordinary people, can bear the humiliation that ordinary people can not bear, in order to achieve the merits that ordinary people can not achieve, the ruler at that time adopted the concept of "ruling the chaotic world and using heavy codes" to unify governance, "the murderer dies, the wounded are guilty", if Han Xin is angry for a while, draws his sword and kills "Tu Shao", there is a high probability that he will pay for it, then how can my ambition be realized? How do I apply what I have learned in my lifetime? For the sake of this lofty ambition, I also have to endure it. Which is lighter or heavier, I can carry it clearly.
Secondly, this reflects Han Xin's composure and calmness, even in the case of humiliation, it is not alarming, this is humiliation, it is cowardice, it will be ridiculed by the world, but I still have to endure, those who become big things are informal, and only after enduring this humiliation can they be qualified to face the great winds and waves in the future. It can be seen that Han Xin regarded this matter as a tempering of his mind, which is also the reason why Han Xinjin did not seek revenge on "Tu Shao" after returning to his hometown, but instead made him the chief of the guard.
"The national soldier is unparalleled" and "the merit is unparalleled, slightly not born", is the evaluation of Han Xin at the time of chu and Han, today he is humiliated by stepping down, and he is achieving success in the world!
