"Guiguzi" believes that the art of shutting down is an important strategy for lobbying princes, manipulating politics, and dealing with people. If you want to agree with the other party, first refute the other party, make the other party excited, and then expose the truth, so that we can grasp the reasonable place and agree with him, and grasp the unreasonable place and oppose him. If you want to take first, you want to be the same and different, and you want to be the first. The main thing is to complete by speaking, and if you speak well and use the art of shutting well, you will be able to fight without blood.
Guiguzi says: It contains the meaning of the way of yin and yang, the degree of relaxation, the way of opening and closing, the freedom of advance and retreat, and the difference between high and low, etc., and contains the ideological connotation of dialectics.
There are virtuous people in the world, and there are unscrupulous people;There are wise people and there are stupid people;There are brave people, and there are cowardly people;There are upright people and gentlemen, and there are small people. In short, there are differences between each person, and people's conduct is very different, and their qualities are very different. Therefore, it is necessary to take different countermeasures according to different character qualities. For some people it can be enlightened, for others it can be suppressed to keep them calm;Some people can be promoted, and some people can be dismissed;It can make some people rich, and it can make some people poor. In a word, it is necessary to treat people separately according to their different natures and control them.
The purpose of opening up speech is to win the trust of the other party, so that the other party can relax with us and speak the truth to us. The purpose of conniving at the enemy is to let him do things according to his own wishes, so as to deceive the other party, so as to retreat into advance, and finally turn defeat into victory. The art of shutting down requires careful handling, subtle behavior, conforming to laws and truths, and paying attention to the way of yin and yang.
Ming repairs the plank road, secretly crosses Chen Cang" refers to the allusion of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu competing for the world. It is said that Liu Bang burned the plank road he passed through on the way to Hanzhong, and said that he would not return to Guanzhong to eliminate Xiang Yu's suspicions. Then Liu Bang seized the opportunity of someone to raise troops against Xiang Yu and sent troops into the pass. He adopted the strategy of the general Han Xin and sent hundreds of sergeants to pretend to repair the plank road, pretending to attack through the plank road. On the surface, Xiang Yu was confused and relaxed, and then Liu Bang made a detour to send troops, defeated Zhang Han's army in Chencang, and returned to Xianyang.
The art of shutting down is the way of operation of everything in the world, and the law of development, change and movement of things. The art of squeezing is still used a lot in daily life, which can be said to be a kind of wisdom, and it can also be said to be a kind of thick black science. In our daily lives, each of our opponents has hidden weaknesses, and learning the art of shutting down will benefit you immensely.
Everyone has a light side and a dark side in their hearts, and too much dark side will make us lose ourselves, so we must grasp the scale of using the art of closing and being a fair and upright person.
