Zheng Xiang refused to accept fish, in the name of fish love, the truth of refusal, the meaning of his words is two words - willing. It is recorded in the "New Preface" that Zheng Xiang's wisdom is admirable.
His actions and remarks have given us a deep understanding of the true meaning of "giving". In real life, we should also learn to let go of some unimportant things in order to get more important things.
Only in this way can we achieve more satisfaction and happiness in our lives. Therefore, whether in career or in life, we should learn to "give up".
In the cycle of life, giving and giving always alternate with each other. Sometimes, short-term desires may lead us into the abyss, but if we can let go in time, it will lead us to the light.
Historically, success and failure have often been in the first thought, in the word "willing". Abandonment, we can float like summer flowers, and then get autumn fruits.
During the Warring States Period, Meng Weijun Tianwen was one of the famous four sons, and he was famous for his hospitality. He once recruited 3,000 guests, and he was in power in Qi for a while.
Among them was a man named Feng Tan, whose family was very poor, and when he heard that Meng Weijun was kind and charitable, he came to ask to join. Meng Weijun was curious about the arrival of this down-and-out man, so he asked Feng Tan what his hobbies were.
Feng Tan replied that he was good for nothing, and then Meng Weijun asked Feng Tan what his talents were, and Feng Tan also replied that he was capable of nothing. Meng Weijun smiled awkwardly, but still took him under the door.
There are many talented people under Meng Weijun, and it is indeed rare for someone like Feng Tan to have no skills, and to stretch out his hands and open his mouth for food. Even his servants felt that Feng Tan was just indiscriminate, only giving him coarse tea and light rice every day, and never looked at him squarely.
Feng Tan was a non-existent doorman, but Meng Weijun handed over the responsibility of debt collection to him. Feng Tan went to Xueyi and found that the people were living a difficult life and were unable to repay their debts. In the name of Meng Shanjun, he burned all the deeds, and said that Meng Shanjun would no longer come to collect debts.
The people of Xueyi were grateful and said "Long live". Meng Weijun asked Feng Tan what he bought, and Feng Tan replied: "You don't lack gold, silver, jewelry, or famous dogs and horses, and there are beautiful women around you, and what you lack is 'righteousness'."
I have burned the coupon for you and bought the 'righteousness' back. Meng Yanjun didn't understand Feng Tan's words, but Feng Tan's actions won the hearts of the people for Meng Tanjun and took root in Xueyi.
Feng Tan's wisdom, Meng Weijun's life. Feng Tan bought righteousness for Meng Weijun and helped him protect himself in his political career.
When Meng Weijun was framed, once dismissed as prime minister, and his political career was in jeopardy, the common people of Xueyi poured out of the city and welcomed him hundreds of miles away, reflecting Meng Yanjun's influence.
At this time, Meng Weijun realized Feng Tan's good intentions, and said with emotion: "The 'righteousness' that Mr. bought for me has finally seen it today. ”
As the old saying goes: "It is difficult to know, but it is difficult to do; It's not hard to do, it's hard to end up. ”
In **, it is especially difficult to start and finish well. Feng Tan burned bonds to help Meng Weijun give up small profits and gain righteousness, so that he could make a comeback in the future. This story tells us that reluctance is self-trapped, and we will make mistakes again and again.
Huang Xie, who was born later than Meng Weijun and was one of the four sons of the Warring States Period, did not know the wisdom of reluctance. In his early years, he was a hostage of Qin together with Xiong Wan, the crown prince of Chu.
Ten years of house arrest, every day is like walking on thin ice. Until 263 BC, King Qingxiang of Chu was critically ill, and Qin refused to let the crown prince of Chu return to China. Huang Xie risked his life to cover for the crown prince and sent Xiong Wan back to Chu as a coachman, which can be described as a loyal festival.
Therefore, Huang Xie was almost executed by King Qin Zhao, but fortunately, Qin changed his mind and decided to sell the favor of the new monarch of Chu before letting Huang Xie go back.
Overall, the stories of Feng Tan and Meng Weijun teach us that wisdom, courage, and loyalty are the most important qualities in life.
Only with these qualities can we persevere in the face of difficulties and ultimately achieve our goals.
Chunshenjun Huang Xie, a weak scholar, but because of the gift of King Chu Kaolie, he became a prince. He dredged the three rivers and solved the flood problem of the Huangpu River, and was called Chunshenjun by the local people.
Shanghai was also named "Shen" for this reason. However, after Chun Shenjun became Xiangguo, he lost his mind because of the ** of power, which eventually led to his own head being in a different place, and the whole family was arrested and executed.
It all stems from his greed and discontentment. As Lao Tzu said: "There is no greater misfortune than not being satisfied, and there is no greater blame than wanting to gain." Giving up is the phoenix bathing in the fire, and being reborn in Nirvana.
Han Xin was also disappointed when he was young, but he was able to let go of the past, seize the opportunity, and eventually become one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty. In contrast, Chun Shenjun's tragedy is because he doesn't know how to give up or let go.
In a rough life, drinking cold water will also stuff your teeth. Once, Han Shin was provoked by a young man in the Huaiyin market. The young man pointed at Han Xin and provoked him: "You see that you are tall and carry a sword, but you are actually a coward.
If you have the guts, stab me with your sword, and if not, crawl under my crotch. Han Xin looked at the young man quietly, without saying a word, lowered his body, lay on the ground, and crawled under the crotch of the young man in the market.
Han Xin's forbearance and silence were exchanged for ridicule all over the street. Qingren Niu Zhenyun commented on this description: "He stared at the young man for a long time, then lowered his body and crawled under his crotch. Every action is a lifetime of shame. ”
Who would have thought that this was the generation of famous generals who later captured Wei, Po Dynasty, Ping Zhao, Wei Yan, attacked Qi in the east, and destroyed Chu in the south.
Han Shin is not a cowardly and inferior person, on the contrary, he has always been proud. When Han Xin's mother died, he was penniless and didn't even have money for the funeral, but he found a tall and spacious cemetery for his mother, surrounded by thousands of households.
He hopes that one day he will be called the king and the marquis, and let ten thousand families guard the tomb for his mother. Why did Han Xin, who has great ambitions, willing to crawl under the crotch of a young man in the market, so that everyone on the street thinks he is a timid and cowardly person?
It's just because Han Xin at that time knew how to give up and knew when to let go of pride. Goethe said, "One cannot be a hero forever, but one can always be one." ”
Whether it is when he is poor or when he is about to be, Han Xin knows the truth that a husband can bend and stretch. After being worshiped by Liu Bang as a general, Han Xin repeatedly showed cowardice on the battlefield, and finally defeated the enemy.
In Weishui, in the face of the fierce general Long He under Xiang Yu's tent, Han Xin first ordered people to block the upper reaches of the river. As soon as the two armies fought, Han Shin feigned a retreat and lured Long to cross the river.
Long Ji's army was only halfway across the river, Han Xin immediately sent someone to remove the sandbags blocking the water, the river rushed down, Long Ji fought against the water, the army was in chaos, and was finally killed by Han Xin.
The Han army did its best to make Xiang Yu fall into a state of passive defense. Under the wall, confronting Xiang Yu head-on, Han Xin's 300,000 troops fought with 100,000 Chu troops, which did not go well at first.
After the defeat of the frontal attack on Xiang Yu, Han Xin repeated his old tricks and chose to retreat again. waited until the two wings surrounded Xiang Yu, and then led the army to press from the front again, and finally let Xiang Yu be defeated under the wall, and the first battle decided the victory or defeat of the Chu-Han War.
When Han Xin returned to his hometown, he found the young man who humiliated him back then, not only did not retaliate, but named him Lieutenant Chu, and frankly confessed the reason for the humiliation at that time: "I was humiliated at that time, if I was impulsive and killed you, it would be nameless." Why rush to put yourself in prison? ”
Those who know how to give are the real wise men. Han Xin did not know how to give up power, and finally ended up holding hatred and dying, while the writer Jia Pingwa used the word "willing" to remind us that we must know how to give up in life in order to get true happiness.
As Confucius said, when we are full, we must learn to give up at the right time in order to avoid the overturning of our lives. 2. Giving and giving in life, just like the molting of a snake, the washing of gold and the pain of massage, are the process of coexistence of pain and happiness.
Learn to give up in order to usher in true prosperity and success. As Confucius said, the instrument of sitting is tilted when it is empty, and it can stand upright when it is filled with half of water, and it will tip over when it is full.
The same is true in life, only by giving it up at the right time can we grow and develop better.
Give up impetuousness in exchange for inner peace; Abandon anxiety in exchange for a calm life. This is life, and this is the charm of wine. The cup of Baume & Mercier carries the thousand-year-old liquor culture and conveys the charm of Chinese liquor.
Tasting every drop of wine is a deep understanding of "willingness".
