Feng Dao, self-named "Changle Lao", a native of Cangzhou, Hebei Province, is a veteran and important minister and a famous politician during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. He has assisted the ten emperors of the Later Tang Dynasty, the Later Jin Dynasty, the Later Han Dynasty, and the Later Zhou Dynasty, and the Emperor of the Dynasty, who is in a high position such as the general, the third duke, and the third division, for more than 20 years, is the only one in Chinese history who is the "elder of the Ten Dynasties", and can really be described as "the iron Feng Dao, the emperor of flowing water".
The reason why Feng Dao was treated by the ten emperors was mainly because he dared to tell the truth, was fickle without dereliction of duty, high but honest, weak but courageous, and fulfilled his responsibilities to every emperor. As he said in a poem he wrote in his later years to show his knack for being an official: When did Daode die, where is the boat and car?But there is no evil in the sect, and the wolves and tigers also stand up!
Feng Dao attached great importance to the society and the common people in the world all his life, actively entered the WTO, and made progress, and his words and deeds and merits were praised by the people at that time. Placed in the changing historical time and space of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, only such a person can maintain the independence of personality and retreat after asking for the life of the people. The meaning of Feng Dao's life is a living fossil of officialdom, and there are too many places on his body that are worthy of learning Xi today's officials.
Let's learn Xi Feng Dao's poem "The Way of Heaven", and the original text of the poem is as follows:
The poor are all fateful, He Lao sighed.
But know what to do and do good, don't ask about the future.
In winter, the ice is removed, and the grass grows on its own in spring.
Please look at this principle, the way of heaven is very clear.
The gist of the poem is:
Poverty and wealth, hardship and prominence, are all determined by the will of God, and there is no need to sigh for a long time.
Just grasp the present, do the present well, and don't care what the future holds.
Winter is over, and the snow and ice are bound to melt. Spring is coming, and the grass grows on its own.
If you can seriously understand this truth, you can understand this truth.
You can see everything in the world thoroughly, and you can understand the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao.
Feng Dao, a veteran minister during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, this "Heavenly Dao" is a philosophical five-word ancient poem.
The whole poem begins with his own argument or the theme of the poem: the accessibility or obstacle of the path of life is determined by innate fate, so why make all kinds of undesirable sighs?He then pointed out that since the fate has been decided, then we should grasp the present, try to do what we can, and ignore what will happen in the future. Subsequently, through the change of seasons, the aforementioned truth is further elaborated, that is, all these things have their own fixed numbers in the dark, and there is no need for human involvement. Finally, I conclude that you should realize this truth, which is the whole content of the so-called 'Heavenly Dao'.
The whole poem is mainly argumentative, reasonable, simple in language, clear in language, clear in logic, progressive layer by layer, rich in philosophy, quite doctrinal, condensed Feng Dao's lifelong perception and wisdom, and embodies Feng Dao's own philosophy of being sleek and adapting to the changes of the world, as well as Feng Dao's way of being a man and an official.
The first two sentences in the poem: "The poor are all fateful, why sigh" is a famous sentence for the ages, which is also of practical significance, is full of wisdom of life philosophy, is the eternal code of life. I hope that in life, you will do more good deeds and complain less, help others more and seek less personal gain, do more beautiful things, and do less things that fall into the ground. Convenient with others, convenient for yourself. No matter how much noise there is in society, always stick to yourself, live in the moment, and live your best self.
