The Northern Song Dynasty poet Cheng Hao once said: "When the mind is quiet, the body is safe, and all things are self-satisfied." ”

During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a person who lived in seclusion in Nanyang, named Zhuge Liang, and was talented in his body. Even if there are many heroes in the world, they have never been disturbed by the complicated world affairs and the disputes in the world.

Just waiting calmly, willing to be lonely, willing to be nameless for a while. It wasn't until Liu Bei, the lord of the Ming Dynasty, visited the thatched house three times that he resolutely went out of the mountain.

Later, the Wei general Sima Yi led an army of 150,000 to attack Xicheng. Zhuge Liang was surrounded by only a group of civilian officials and two thousand and five soldiers.

Zhuge Liang ordered all the flags to be hidden, and the soldiers remained in place. He also ordered the soldiers to open the four gates, and sent twenty soldiers to clean the city in disguise as civilians.

And Zhuge Liang himself climbed the city tower, sat upright and played the piano, with a calm attitude and no messy piano sound. When Sima Yi came to the front of the city, he was suspicious, afraid that there were ambushes in the city, and he did not dare to trade in, so he ordered the troops to retreat.

With an empty city strategy, Zhuge Liang successfully stopped the enemy's attack.

As the saying goes, "If the heart moves, everything moves; When the heart is quiet, everything is quiet. "One stillness can make a hundred movements. Calm down, everything is under control.

Tranquility is a necessary concentration in life, and it is also the foundation of a person's life.

Life is impermanent, calm down and face it calmly, in order to cross the waves and get rid of the predicament.
