In the vast river of history, there is a person known as "seeking the sage", and he is Guiguzi. The wisdom of his life is like a bright star, shining in the long river of history, leaving us with endless thoughts and inspirations. Among them, the concepts of "the common enemy is better than dividing the enemy, and the enemy yang is not as good as the enemy yin" and "encircling Wei to save Zhao" are undoubtedly the treasures of Guiguzi's wisdom, and they are quite mysterious and thought-provoking.
1. "The common enemy is better than dividing the enemy, and the enemy yang is not as good as the enemy's yin" - the philosophy of the overall view.
It is better to divide the enemy than to divide the enemy, and the enemy yang is not as good as the enemy's yin", this sentence reveals Guiguzi's strategic outlook to a large extent. In this world, there are enemies who are strong and concentrated, and ours is relatively weak. In the face of such an enemy, instead of fighting hard, it is better to disperse the forces and weaken the enemy by breaking them individually. At the same time, look for the hidden side of the enemy's dynamics, secretly arrange, surprise and attack unprepared. This is not only a kind of wisdom, but also a philosophy of a holistic view.
2. "Encircling Wei to save Zhao" - a strategy to win by surprise.
Speaking of the wisdom of Guiguzi, I have to mention the story of "encircling Wei to save Zhao". This story solves the crisis of Zhao in an unexpected way, and has also become a classic case in the art of war. The core of this story is that when the enemy's dynamics become the focus, we don't have to rush to fight the focus itself, but can contain and strike at the enemy from the side, so as to achieve the purpose of dispersing the enemy's forces and protecting our targets. This is the vivid embodiment of Guiguzi's concept of "the enemy is not as good as the enemy".
3. The wisdom of Guiguzi: how to apply it in real life.
In real life, we can also learn from the wisdom of Guiguzi. For example, in business competition, we can draw on the concept of "dividing the enemy", disperse the power of competitors in various fields, and gain advantages through various breakthroughs. At the same time, we can also use the strategy of "winning by surprise" to lay out and act in unexpected places of the opponent to achieve the effect of winning by surprise. In addition, the concept of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" can also be applied to interpersonal relationships. When a friend or loved one is in trouble, we don't have to rush to solve their problem directly, but we can give them support and help from the side, distract their stress, and let them find a solution to the problem on their own.
4. Conclusion: The mysterious "ghost" lies in the control and layout of the overall situation.
In general, "ghost" does not refer to ghosts or gods, but to a deep, mysterious, and intelligent philosophical thought. The wisdom of Guiguzi is like a labyrinth, inviting people to explore and fascinate people. He taught us to grasp the overall situation, analyze the situation, be flexible and adaptable, and win by surprise. The application of this wisdom is not limited to military, business or interpersonal relationships, it is equally applicable to our daily lives and work.
The common enemy is not as good as dividing the enemy, and the enemy yang is not as good as the enemy yin", this is Guiguzi's strategic view, and it is also his art of controlling and laying out the overall situation. This kind of wisdom not only requires us to understand deeply, but also requires us to constantly apply and reflect on it in practice. Only in this way can we truly appreciate the "ghost" of Guiguzi and truly integrate his wisdom into our life and work.
Finally, let us learn and inherit the wisdom of Guiguzi with a state of awe and gratitude. Because his wisdom is not only a treasure of history, but also a guide to our lives today and in the future.
