In the long river of Chinese history, a period of King Chuzhuang in the Spring and Autumn Period "did not fly for three years, and soared to the sky; Three years without a sound, a blockbuster", like a bright pearl inlaid in the chapter of history.
King Chu Zhuang, known as Xionglu (also known as Mi Lu), was a famous monarch of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period, during his reign (613 BC - 591 BC), he achieved the strength and hegemony of Chu State, and was called one of the "Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons" by later generations. In the early days of his reign, he did not immediately show his talent and ambition for governing the country, but indulged in singing and dancing to promote peace, alienated from the government, like a phoenix with full wings but unwilling to spread its wings and fly. However, this superficial absurdity is actually his strategy to observe the world in secret, sharpen himself, and accumulate strength.
After King Chuzhuang succeeded to the throne, he ignored the government for three years and only hunted and drank. And there was also a sign at the gate of the palace that said, "Those who admonish will not be forgiven", but Wu Ju, a patriot of Chu State, understood that it would not work like this, so he thought of a plan. That is, I saw the queen of Chuzhuang and gave the king of Chuzhuang a riddle. The riddle is: There is a big bird in Chujing, perched in the court, which lasted three years, and did not sing or fly. It's so hard to understand, which one is it? What kind of bird is this? King Chuzhuang is a smart man, and replied: This bird is not simple, it does not fly for three years, it soars into the sky, it does not sing for three years, and it is amazing. After that, it was King Chuzhuang's drastic reform, and the effect was remarkable. This is where the blockbuster came from.
In this seemingly prosaic historical background, the magnificence of King Chuzhuang's heart is little known. He quietly perceived people's hearts, judged the situation, quietly cultivated cronies, eliminated dissidents, and built a solid power base. He knows that if you want to be fast, you can't achieve it, and only when still water flows deep can you achieve great things.
Until the time was ripe, the king of Chu Zhuang suddenly attacked like a long-dormant beast, decisively reformed internal affairs, and actively expanded the territory, making the Chu state jump from a weak country in the south to a powerful overlord enough to resist the princes of the Central Plains in just a few years. Its "blockbuster" performance made the princes of the world dumbfounded, and since then, "if you don't fly, you have soared into the sky; If you don't make a hit, it's just a blockbuster" has become a good story that has been passed down through the ages.
Under his rule, Chu not only quelled civil strife, but also defeated the surrounding vassal states several times, established its hegemony in the south, and reached unprecedented heights of influence in the Central Plains. The story of King Chuzhuang embodies the wisdom and courage of the ancient Chinese monarchs who were thoughtful, patient, and accumulated, and is still praised by future generations.
At the same time, it also reminds us that true leaders must not only know how to be silent at the right time, but also be able to speak up and act boldly at critical junctures, so as to lead the team or the country to glory.
King Chuzhuang's "blockbuster" is not accidental, but based on his sober understanding of self-positioning and accurate judgment of the internal and external situation. This enlightens us in the modern society, whether it is business management or personal growth, we need to have in-depth thinking, patient accumulation and precise attack, only in this way, can we stand out in the ever-changing competitive environment and create our own "blockbuster" moment.
