Explanation of the words
Qianqian: imitate Qian's strength and hard work. After the incubation and hard work of the first family, and after being appreciated by the adults of the ninety-two family, the dragon finally got the opportunity and position to display his talents in the society, and entered the stage of the ninety-third line, and reached the most important stage of life, just like life reached the age of thirty, which is a stage of connecting the past and the next. If you want your life to be further improved, then you must work diligently during the day and avoid fear and introspection at night. Xi Tiruo, Li, no blame: There are at least three kinds of broken sentences, one is "Xi Ti, if strong, no blame", the second is "Xi Tiruo, Li, no blame", and the third is "Xi Tiruo, Li no blame", although the meaning of the explanation is similar, mainly how to interpret "if", combined with the previous sentence "the gentleman is dry all day long", "if" should be interpreted as this, like that. A gentleman should also "do something" at night as he did during the day, and be diligent in introspection. Blame: the meaning of negligence, sin, blame, punishment, grudge, disaster, etc., is generally interpreted as disaster in the Book of Changes, which is a word of possession. Repeatedly: "repeatedly" over and over again. To be a human being is to imitate the cycle of the way of heaven, to persevere, and to persevere. This is the right way to be a human being.
Easy to understand
Or to quote a short story of Zeng Guofan. Zeng Guofan pursued self-cultivation, family harmony, and governance all his life, and had extremely high achievements in literature, military, and academic thought, and was a very influential representative of politics, military, and culture during the Daoguang, Xianfeng, and Tongzhi periods of the late Qing Dynasty. Some people say that if the dynasty is judged by characters, Zeng Guofan is the last person in ancient Chinese history and the first person in modern history. ** once said: "Give it to the neighbor, and serve Zeng Wenzheng alone." "There are not many people who can admire the chairman, and from this alone, everyone can know what a great person Zeng Guofan is. I like a couplet written by Zeng Guofan to his younger brother Zeng Guoquan the most: Leave me alone for a thousand autumns, and study again after returning from a hundred battles. Especially when I was confused in life, every time I read this couplet, I would pick up a book and slowly calm down.
Zeng Guofan said: "The mediocrity of the world, ancient and modern, is defeated by a lazy word;."The world's ancient and modern talents are all defeated by a proud word. "The summary is quite in place, a lazy word, a proud word, how many people in ancient and modern times have been planted on these two words. Zeng Guofan insisted on doing three things every day, and he said in a letter to his younger brothers: "Only remember the occasional conversation after tea, read ten pages of history, and write a regular diary, these three things vow to be uninterrupted for life." Zeng Guofan insisted on writing work and life notes every day, reflecting on himself from history, and writing a diary in regular letters to cultivate his self-cultivation, which is the best portrayal of "dry all day long, and timid".
Therefore, "working all day long" does not mean working all day, but working all his life like Zeng Guofan. In the words of the moment, you can't think that you are done by completing your job during the day, but you must use the evening time to continue to study, check and fill in the gaps, in order to continue to improve. Reading this, we understand that nobles like to help people like Zeng Guofan, who have worked hard all their lives.
History is like a wheel rolling forward, and like a tenacious and eternally young warrior, it not only urges the past, but also gives birth to new talents. People who are content with pleasure and do not want to make progress are like passing clouds of smoke drifting away with the wind;Only those who are strivers and self-disciplined and self-reliant are the stars that will never fall in the vast galaxy. Therefore, the meaning of life lies in struggle, self-discipline, and perseverance. The beauty of life lies in the process of struggle.
