What a wise man can make invisible to others can also make impossible to see. --Guiguzi Mou".
Guiguzi is the founder of the Zongheng family, and his background is full of mysteries. And his descendants even called him "a strange man through the ages". Based on his theories, he wrote a book called "Guiguzi", which was called "the forbidden fruit of wisdom, a rare and strange book".
Powerful as Guiguzi, he once said: Before people encounter misfortune, there will be four signs, do you know what these four signs are?
Guiguzi is a person.
Guiguzi was a very influential figure in China, and his achievements can be compared to those of Confucius, Mencius, and Zhuangzi. According to the historical records, he was a person from the late Spring and Autumn period to the Warring States period.
Compared to Confucius, he did not recruit many apprentices, but most of them were from the top of all classes. They are all over the country, and their tongues are more effective than thousands of troops. There is such a sentence in "Mencius Tengwen Gongxia":
A smile poured into the country, and a rage shocked all directions. ”
Because his doctrine contains a lot of interesting knowledge, many famous scholars at home and abroad have respected him throughout the ages. For example, former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and the well-known German historian Spengler have carefully studied his knowledge.
Guiguzi is a master of ancient China, and his doctrine is relatively popular in our country, and has been well applied in all aspects of society, economy, and culture. "Guiguzi" also mentions that there are four signs before people encounter misfortune.
Phenomenon 1: "Heart" is not well mastered, resulting in "misfortune from the mouth".
There is such a sentence in Guiguzi The Fourth:
The mouth is the door of the heart, and the heart is the lord of God. Will, desire, desire, thought, wisdom, this is the door, so it must be opened, it must be opened, and it must be controlled. ”
According to Guiguzi, the mouth is the door of the soul, and the mind can control people's thoughts, so we must use the mouth when we express our likes and dislikes to the outside world.
And some people can't control their emotions well, so they will say words like "disaster comes from the mouth". Whether it's work or usual, everyone should "think before acting" or "talk more and do more" to avoid their bad luck.
Sometimes, when we say something casually, it makes the other person hold a grudge against us, which makes our situation worse and more dangerous. Take the spring of the thirteenth year of King Zhouzhuang as an example, when the state of Qi was fighting against the Lu army, but the army was defeated, so he asked Song to send troops to help.
The Song State sent Nangong Changwan to fight, but Nangong Changwan was captured in a big battle. In the end, Song and Lu reached an agreement to release Nangong Changwan to Song. Song Min Gong and Nangong Changwan glanced at each other, and then looked at Nangong Changwan.
I respect you for the sake of your victory, but now, you have lost, and I don't respect you. ”
Nangong Changwan Huai hated Nangong Changwan to the core, and later Song Mingong even humiliated Nangong Changwan, Song Mingong humiliated again, and was finally killed by Nangong Changwan in the first game.
Sign 2: Misfortune due to greed.
There is a sentence in Guiguzi Benjing Yin Fu Seven Techniques:
Cultivation refers to the state that cannot be reached by the mind. Whatever you want, you want. Aspiring people, ambitious people. The more desires there are, the more scattered the will, the weaker the will, and the weaker the will. "
Guiguzi said that people can't indulge in their own desires, because as long as they have desires, they will continue to want to get what they want. The more desires accumulate, the more scattered the human heart becomes, and the less fluid the thinking becomes, which leads to bad luck.
Everyone has desires, but some people can restrain them, and some people cannot. They tend to indulge in their desires, which leads to a mess in their lives and ultimately misfortune.
There are too many examples in China where excessive greed can bring misfortune to a person. Tang Ming Emperor Li Longji is a very representative figure.
When he was young, he had a lot of self-control and was able to restrain himself and not get carried away by his desires. But as he grew older, his ambitions swelled, or rather, his desires made him lose himself.
In the end, Emperor Li Longji of the Tang Ming Dynasty experienced the Anshi Rebellion, although he was known as the "Emperor Taishang", but the downfall of his later years was impressive.
Sign 3: Stick to your point of view and lead yourself to a dead end.
This is another "Guiguzi Benjing Yin Fu Seven Techniques".
Therefore, it is the art of faith, keeping the true oneness, waiting for the convergence of people's hearts, and watching the changes. Strategy is the key to life and death. If you can't think, you can't listen; If you can't wait, you can't plan. So, you can't believe it, and you can't believe it. ”
Guiguzi said that don't blindly insist on your own ideas, other people's opinions will bring you a lot of inspiration, help you constantly improve your planning, and make your work better. If a person cannot accept the advice of others, he is likely to fall into a desperate situation and fall into a place from which he will never recover.
Take Fu Jian, for example, when he was young, he was indeed an eloquent monarch who was bent on reviving the Qin Dynasty. Fu Jian was quite talented in using troops, and it didn't take long to capture Qianyan, Liangyi Erzhou, and Daiguo in the north, and annexed Qianliang.
After his victory in the North, he embarked on a grand march to the South. Fu Jian's subordinate Wang Meng had a different opinion on this matter, but Fu Jian insisted on his own opinion, and in the end he still did not listen to Wang Meng's advice, which eventually led to his southern war ending in a crushing defeat, Qin suffered heavy losses, Fu Jian also died, and northern China was once again in a situation of scattered sand.
Indication 4: The evaluation of appearance is not high.
There is a sentence in Guiguzi Zhongjing:
Those who keep the precepts do not see right and wrong, do not hear evil, recite "poems" and "books" orally, speak and act properly, take the Tao as the body, behave beautifully with virtue, judge people by their appearance, and not by their appearance. If you want to hide it, forget it. ”
People who pay attention to their image and behave appropriately can always make people respect. Whether at work or in life, everyone should pay attention to their personal image, so that they can communicate better and develop better.
Compared to unkempt people, people around them are more likely to be attracted to care about their appearance. To a certain extent, paying attention to appearance is a way of life, and people who can keep their lives in order must also be better at work.
Overview. Overall, the wisdom of the Ghost Valley is worth learning and using. For ordinary people, these ideas of Guiguzi can help them find their own path in life and work, so that they can respond quickly when facing difficulties.
And, in some specific cases, his IQ is also very useful. This guides them to expand their knowledge more quickly. Guiguzi is the founder of the "vertical and horizontal" thought, and what he left to future generations is a rich ideological legacy.
