"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes. ”
The beginning of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a classic, summarizing the tone of the whole book in one sentence. The success or failure of right and wrong, the hero's victory, will pass away with time and turn into a joke of ancient and modern times.
For hundreds of years, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has flourished for a long time with its political wisdom, profound ideological connotation, and heroic group portraits.
A large number of depictions of dragons not only enhance the magnificent artistry of the work, but also convey the style, situation and degree of Chinese-style political wisdom.
The general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time. ”
In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the current situation seems to be a fixed situation, but when the timeline is stretched and the perspective is placed at the height of the long-term history, the impermanence of the world and the uncertainty of division and integration are the inevitable laws of social development.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has one of the most classic wine games, "Green Plum Cooking Wine on Heroes".
Cao Cao asked, "Do you know the changes in the dragon?" Liu Bei replied: "I don't know the details." Cao Cao said: "The dragon can be big and small, and it can be hidden and hidden: if it is big, it will be prosperous and swallow fog." The small one is hidden; Ascending soars between the universe, and concealment lurks in the waves. Fang Jinchun deep. The dragon multiplies with time changes. The Jews were determined to conquer the seas. Dragons are things, comparable to the heroes of the world. ”
These words are talking about dragons, but in fact they refer to the political strategy of grasping the general trend of the world and controlling the overall situation.
The dragon flies for nine days, crisscrossing the heavens and the earth, seeing the beginning but not the tail, in charge of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, representing auspiciousness, authority and dignity, which is the symbol of ancient political unification. It can be seen from Cao Liu on the dragon that the triumph of the three kingdoms is essentially a political balance and trade-off. Whether it is between countries or within a country, whether it is maintaining balance or rebuilding order, we must grasp the general trend of the world, take the initiative to enter the trend, and lead the trend of the times, so as to achieve the great cause of the country and benefit the public.
Sima Hui, the first Bole of the Three Kingdoms, said: "Wolong and phoenix, the two of them can settle the world." Mr. Wolong is Zhuge Liang. It was Sima Hui's recommendation that led to Liu Bei's three-way house.
And Liu Bei once used the dragon as a metaphor: "The dragon is hidden in the world, and it can still distinguish evil." Like a dragon in the wild, how can he live under people for a long time? ”
Whether it is "Sleeping Dragon" or "Hidden Dragon", it is a common image in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The essence of the idea of "lying" and "lating" is to keep quiet when the strength is weak, and to endure and lie dormant when the time is not right. Once the power is gained, that is, the dragon leaps up, and the flying dragon is in the sky.
And Liu Bei is precisely the best spokesperson for "Hidden Dragon in the Abyss".
As a heroic instrument of "faith and righteousness written in the four seas", he hid and did not make it, waiting for the accumulation of "quantitative change" to "qualitative change", and finally turned the tide in one fell swoop with the wisdom of the machine like a god.
It can be said that in such a world of surging uncertainty, the pattern of "the hidden dragon is in the abyss, and the machine changes like a god" can be regarded as the peak moment of retreating to advance, patrolling all things in the world, observing the world, and giving birth to the dragon in the world.
The dragon is not in the pool, and he wants to go to the sky by thunder". The dragon soars into the air, hidden and great.
