In the process of the eight-character theory of life, there is a very important law, which is neutralization. Jin Mu's five elements of fire, water and soil, whether hurt or too prosperous, will have bad things reflected in real life, unless there is a way to transcend the boundaries of fate and not be bound by numbers, such as extremely kind people. The road to perfection is also a denial of bad fate, such as not bullying others or the weak. If you really realize this and do it, you can naturally turn adversity into prosperity.
People all know that the "meaningless war in the Spring and Autumn Period" is to attack other countries and satisfy the expansion and interests of rulers. At the end of the Warring States period, although there was a real threat from the powerful Qin State, some monarchs were insatiable and developed the unnecessary war to the point of shamelessness.
The monarch of the State of Yan sent Li Fu, the envoy of the State of Yan, to conclude a friendly covenant with the King of Zhao, and hosted a banquet for the King of Zhao with 500 gold. Li Fu returned to the state of Yan and said to the prince: In the battle of Changping, all the mature men of Zhao died, and their orphans have not grown up, so they can attack Zhao. The prince summoned Chang in his spare time and asked his opinion. Le Xian answered: Zhao is threatened by a strong enemy on all sides. The people of the whole country fight like eating and drinking water. They can neither attack nor attack. The prince said, I can attack him with five times my strength. Answer: That won't do either. The prince was furious. All the ministers thought that they could send troops to attack Zhao, so they mobilized two thousand chariots, one led by Li Fu and the other by Li Fu.
The doctor said to the canal, "I just signed a friendly agreement with Zhao, and invited Zhao Wang to drink with 500 gold." As soon as the messenger came back, he sent troops to attack others. This is unlucky, and the Yanjun will definitely return without success. " The prince didn't listen to Jiangqu's dissuasion, but also personally led some troops other than the main force. Pulling the canal on the ribbon printed on the swallow's waist, the swallow kicked him angrily and cried, I am not for myself, but for your majesty!
When the Yanjun arrived in Songzi, the Prince of Zhao appointed Lian Po as the general, led the army to meet the Yanjun, defeated the Chestnut Belly Army in Mao Di, defeated the Qing Qin and Lecheng Army in Dai Di, pursued the Yanjun for more than 500 miles to the north, and surrounded the capital of Yan. The prince had to send someone to make peace with Zhao. Wang Zhao said: Jiang Qu must come to make peace. So the prince appointed Canal as the Prime Minister and went to make peace with Zhao, whose army had just retired.
Mencius said: "I am old, and people are old; Young people, young people, young people. The world can be transported in the palm of your hand. " It is said that you can easily control the whole world by treating other people's parents like your own parents and treating other people's children like your own. The prince used his father's death to bully his orphan, which was cruel to the extreme; Just after signing the peace treaty, he immediately attacked others, as Ceng Zi said: "If you quit, you will exceed your promise." It can be said that you don't believe in injustice; Under the deterrence of Qiang Qin, it is unwise to fight everywhere; It is unknown to listen only to slanders and not to correct opinions. The demise of this monarchy is inevitable, but if it is not, it will be abnormal.
Zhu Zi's family precepts: Never bully widows, never kill birds. Don't bully the weak, don't be swayed by your own desires, and get the so-called benefits from bullying. People are doing, the sky is watching, not that there is something watching, but that's the rule of the world. The world is a system, and everyone or organization has its role and significance, which is what we often say: "Being is reasonable". If you destroy others for your own benefit, you may end up hurting yourself. For example, in the five elements, some five elements kill the soil. First of all, there is no water. If you want to kill the wood itself, there is not much yang. At the same time, if the water is strong and the fire makes the gold useless, you will hurt the wood. Finally, you will get hurt.
Therefore, people with lofty ideals are all compassionate. "Without great kindness, there is great sorrow." In the traditional culture of China, the world has always been regarded as an orderly whole. Everyone is a part of the whole, and the harmony we pursue is in the process of dealing with the relationship between individuals and the whole, no matter which religion or school. It is resolutely opposed by people with lofty ideals to disregard the overall operating rules for personal selfish desires.
In a word, a man should have a bottom line, "Don't do to others what you don't want him to do to you", always have compassion and compassion, put yourself in others' shoes, don't be driven by interests and desires, don't be fooled by the words of villains, do more things that conform to etiquette and justice, and don't do things that make the world look down upon.
