Top -level wisdom: Being humble, lacking in doing things

Author: Insight on onetong

The wisdom is foolish, and it is no shortage of Da Cheng.

Before Zeng Guofan sent troops to conquer the Taiping Army, someone gave him a sword.

His father -in -law gave him an ancient sword Ming:

Using its mango, there is injury to move, it is for the weapon;

Zeng Guofan kept this in his life.

He named his study "Qiu Zhai" and encouraged himself to do anything to stay.

In the end, not only was he able to end well, but the Zeng family also flourished for a century.

"The Tao Te Ching" has a saying: Da Zhi is foolish, and it is missing.

If people do not want to be full, they can settle their lives.

01

Be humble

During the Northern Wei Dynasty, a Situ was named Cui Hao, which won the favor of the emperor Tuoba, and in the middle and long -term power of the DPRK.

In 438 AD, Cui Hao was ordered to write the history of the country.

After the compilation was completed, Shi Minzhan and the label suggested that Cui Hao carved the history of the country on the stele to show his credit.

Cui Hao was afraid that his talents would be buried, and immediately adopted the suggestion of the two, engraved the ancestor's deeds on the stone monument, and stood on the east side of the altar of the country of the country.

After seeing the previous Xianbei people, they sued the emperor, causing the emperor to be furious.

In the end, Cui Hao not only was different in himself, but also burned his in -laws.

Li Kang wrote such a paragraph in "Lunar":

"Mu Xiu is in Lin, the wind will destroy it; pile up on the shore, flowing will be turbulent;

Eager to express yourself, just let go, and sooner or later, it will cause trouble.

Knowing how to hide it and be clumsy, you can accumulate strength and stable and far away.

During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the grandson of Cai Yan in the Eastern Han Dynasty was well -known for his knowledge of talents and good debates.

High -ranking foreign relatives are generally miserable in the end, but he was able to end well. After his death, Emperor Jinwu also ordered him to be buried for him to recognize him.

Under the troubled times, Sun Yangyu was preserved, because of his wisdom of his guardianship.

He was embarrassed, and there was no habit of luxury and arrogance of noble children. Even if he faced a low official minister such as Wang You and Jia Chong, he could treat him with courtesy and never despised them because of his identity.

He did not have a good job, and he was proud of himself. After the Emperor Jinwu Sima Yan became the emperor, he chanted the sheep to help him. He wanted to seal him as the county.

Later, every time Jin Wudi wanted to give him an official Jinjue, he resigned that he was ashamed, and he took the initiative to recommend other officials.

In Shen Kuo's "Bi Dream Talk", there is a saying: "There are dry generals, not revealing sharpness."

Like the sharp sword, smart people should cover the blade under the scabbard and hide the sharpness in the dark.

Being a low -key convergence, and being obscure, can we have surgery in the complicated world, and do things.

02

Do things

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, someone triggered a "Kowloon Cup" to Zhu Yuanzhang.

At a banquet, he deliberately took out the Kowloon Cup and wine, and gave a cup of each minister.

When pouring wine, some ministers poured the wine full, but they didn't drink it.

Instead, those ministers who only fell half a cup had tasted wine.

When everyone was doubtful, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "This is the mystery of the Kowloon Cup. The sage said: Qian Zhao Yi, full of damage, all the way of trying to find it justice today?"

Seeking the lack of wine, the full of people, the wine is gone, the wine is not greedy, and the heavenly Tao is avoided.

Nothing is 100 % perfection. If it is forced to be over, it will only be counterproductive.

Zhou Guoping wrote a story.

One day, a horse received the task to transfer the snow on the streets to a large waterlogging dam.

When he was driving a four -horse car and pulled a car full of snow to the dam, he found that the rock wall of the large waterlogging dam was clear, and the snowfall was very obvious.

In order to make the carriage more perfect and prevent marks from the edge of the large waterlogging dam, the horse continued to drive the horse back.

When the car was less than one meter away from the pit, the horse felt dangerous, and the heavenly roared down.

But Mafu kept drinking, pulling the horses' hoe.

For a while, the wheels of the carriage's outer circle moved to the edge.

Mafu didn't care, and he still tightened the reins and pulled it hard. As a result, the horse's feet were crooked, and the entire carriage tilted towards the pit.

At this time, it could only be allowed to plant it to the abyss. In the end, the car was damaged, and Malan regretted it.

"Cai Gen Tan" has a saying: "The gentleman rather lives and lives, and there is no place to go."

Water is full of overflowing, the middle of the day is 溢, and the losses of Yueying. This is the way of nature and the philosophy of life.

As an oil poem said:

The drink is semi -righteous, and the flowers bloom half -vomiting. Fan Zhang was half -fan -free, and the horse was stable.

Semi -a few are spoiled, more than half an anti -annihilation entanglement. Centennial bitterness and half -phase ginseng will take advantage of only half.

When Confucius was sacrificed in the temple, he saw a kind of pupa, similar to the jar.

The middle of the jar is empty, injecting water in the middle, when the water is injected half, it is flat.

When the water is full, the 会 等 will fall over.

After Confucius finished reading, he said to his disciples: "If you are full of things, you must be humble and avoid complacent."

Being a person to hide, you can go long -term without arrogance or impatience; if you do things, you can continue to improve.

Like a praise and encourage friends.
