I've known the word since I was a child, but I've never checked its origin. It wasn't until I hit a wall everywhere in my life and work and repeatedly failed to start a business that I understood the importance of this word. Logical reasoning looks at the cause, and the cause determines the effect. As a result, it is destined to return to the essence. Looking back, the essence determines the behavior, the behavior affects the process, the process leads to the result, and the result is destined to not escape the essence.
Let's take a look at the provenance first.
Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, heard that Li Ling led his troops deep into the border of the Xiongnu, and his morale was strong, and he was very happy. At this time, many ministers playfully congratulated the emperor on his wisdom and good use of people.
Later, Li Ling was defeated and surrendered, and Emperor Wu was very angry, and the ministers who originally congratulated him in turn scolded Li Ling for being useless and disloyal. At this time, Sima Qian stood next to him silently, and Emperor Wu asked him for his opinion on this matter, Sima Qian said bluntly that Li Ling only had 5,000 infantry, but was surrounded by 80,000 cavalry of the Huns, but he still fought for more than ten days in a row, killing and wounding more than 10,000 enemies, which is really a great general. In the end, because the food was exhausted and the way back was cut off, the battle was stopped, and Li Ling did not really surrender, but waited for an opportunity to serve the country. His merits can still make up for his sins.
Emperor Wu listened to him defend Li Ling, and ridiculed the emperor's close relative Li Guangli for attacking the Xiongnu from the front, and angrily moved Sima to prison. The following year, it was misreported that Li Ling was training for the Xiongnu, and Emperor Wu killed Li Ling's mother and wife without clarifying the matter. In order to cater to the emperor, Du Zhou, the court commander, framed Sima Qian for the crime of framing the emperor, and actually gave Sima Qian the most cruel and humiliating "rotten punishment".
Sima Qian was devastated by this, and in his pain, he wanted to commit suicide;But after thinking about it, the death of a lowly person like him is just like "a drop in the bucket" in the eyes of many rich and noble people, not only does it not get sympathy, but it will also make people laugh.
He told his friend Ren Shaoqing about this change of thought, and later people extended it to the idiom "nine cows and one hair" according to the sentence "nine cows and one hair" mentioned in his letter. It is used to metaphorize that something or a certain talent is only a part of the vast majority, and even if it is dead, it is only as insignificant as a hairy hair on the nine cows, but it is an inspirational allusion that to live is to do great things.
The ancients said that only those who have great courage can have great wisdom, and Sima Qian is such a person. He knew that in his time, it was better to die a person with no status and no reputation than a dead dog. He bravely survived, and finally completed the unprecedented historical work "Historical Records".
The moral of the idiom is that the life and death of ordinary people in front of society is like pulling out a hair from a cow, which is of no concern to the cow, no pain or itching, and it can be said that there is no loss. Although there is a single hair missing in number, it is a tiny number, and it has not changed for the cow, for the owner, or for the whole world.
Sima Qian realized that his life was of no importance to society and others, and even if he committed suicide, nothing would change. Therefore, he must be strong to survive, no matter what he faces, only by surviving strong and doing a great career can he change the fate of "a dime".
As a socialist leader in New China. Everyone who grew up under the red flag, no matter who they are, although they are still "a drop in the bucket" in this world, but we are still high-spirited and enthusiastic teenagers, learning hard, Xi working hard, listening to the party, and being a brick of society. Work hard to catch the waves, grasp the wind, chase the trend, seek up and down, and exhaust yourself. However, the course of life is bitter and difficult, stumbling and stumbling, and spiritually upside down, eating and sleeping in the open. In the end, in the construction of a characteristic society, I am the country, the country is the country, and all efforts will be made to make a blank shelf, from ** to **.
Logic application to find a way, as an ordinary person in society, the way out is in the world
It's better for a person who has a penny to do a dime a dime. The current situation of society makes it clear that there is a strength and a skill, and it is necessary to do a good job in grasping the profits of a cold hair in the nine cows of the society. It is what can be done, what must be done, and what must be done. It seems that only by accepting fate to be the cornerstone of society, to be a leek, and to be a good tool of the country, can it be easier to survive. However, there are still many things that I don't understand, things I don't understand, and I can't think of a little bit of things that I don't understand.
Logical reasoning looks at the essence, and the essence lies in the fact that ordinary people are the essence of a dime, and they can't be ambitious, they need to do subtraction, and reduce it to the dime that they do. Heaven is destined to make Homo sapiens need to concentrate, do their best, and concentrate on earning a dime of money to live their lives. Only without an ideal life can we live, and we can pursue without dreams, and we can continue to contribute to the prosperity of the motherland. , do your duty, and have no regrets in your life. Broken hats cover up the city, and the leaky boat carries wine in the middle of the stream. The smiling face is hot to stick to the official's finger, bow his head and be willing to be the country's cattle, and work hard behind the sunset, regardless of winter, summer and spring and autumn.
