Chapter 12 4. View development from attitude

For Xiang Yu's wide range of hobbies, variety and lack of understanding, everyone felt a kind of vigor and restlessness, which is what young people should have.However, based on his unique thinking, stubborn opinions, and amazing words, it is a bit far-fetched to conclude that he has lofty aspirations and grand ideals and goals.In the learning stage, no matter whether he was studying literature or martial arts, or later specializing in the art of war against ten thousand enemies, Xiang Yu was always extremely irritable, fishing for three days and drying the net for two days. I don't like to learn, I don't want to learn.His initial interest may have been just a curiosity, but when the enthusiasm aroused by this curiosity passed, he would feel that it was tasteless.

In fact, the learning attitude of knowing a little about the general idea and not asking for a deep understanding is also the portrayal of Xiang Yu's character.During the learning stage, Xiang Yu showed his personality flaws: easily restless, impulsive, lacking in longevity, and lacking in resilience.He doesn't like to spend energy to study anything carefully, which makes him involuntarily continue this kind of thinking when doing anything in the future. The purpose of learning is not to apply the knowledge in books (some things are not needed at all), but it can broaden people's horizons, exercise people's thinking, cultivate people's perseverance, and enhance people's perception and judgment of things.Work will not be wasted, time will not be wasted, and every effort will be rewarded.If Xiang Yu doesn't study deeply, he will look at things simply and take things for granted, which will make him more and more self-willed.When the crowd is competing for the throne, he will neither set up bureaus nor set up traps.And the most terrible thing is that he is also unaware and ignorant of the traps and traps set up for him by others.

In this learning process, the only achievement is Xiang Yu's self-confidence.When he doesn't want to learn a certain skill, he doesn't think it is difficult or not interested in learning it, but a kind of disdain.This kind of arrogant attitude also made him extremely strong inside, everything was done based on subjective wishes, and he felt very good about himself. This kind of person's character is like the sun, hot, enthusiastic and full of passion.Every morning when he wakes up, the sun shines outside the window, Xiang Yu is more confident and feels that he has endless energy. It seems that the fiery red sun rises just for him alone. Can replace him, who was born to rule the world and save all beings.This feeling often makes his heart extremely comfortable.

Xiang Yu's self-confidence also comes from his self-conceived super judgment, he can always make a quick judgment on a matter, and put it into practice according to this judgment.He is active in thinking, and there are endless thoughts flashing in his mind. His cognition of things is completely self-contained.Over time, this kind of self-confidence will turn into a kind of arrogance, a kind of character factor that can do whatever you want, hidden deep in his heart, and will emerge at the most critical moment of his life to influence the direction of his progress. With the continuous victories in the subsequent battles against the Great Qin Empire, Xiang Yu's arrogance turned into a kind of domineering, a kind of domineering, a kind of domineering, "strengthening the mountain and surpassing the world".This kind of domineering has been accompanied by Xiang Yu's life since then, until it was completely submerged in the whimpering of the Wujiang River.

Liu Bang is different from Xiang Yu. He is unwilling to be lonely and lonely. He has no choice, so he lives a very realistic life. It is so realistic that joking with his colleagues and teasing the boss's wife have become an indispensable part of his life.He doesn't think he is capable, so he will rely on others and rely on the strength of others to realize his wishes.Of course, he will do his best to continue to help others and strengthen his dependence on others.After going back and forth like this, he formed his own world, a close-knit small circle centered on him.Although this circle is inconspicuous, it has a very domineering name: power.

Forces do not fight alone, do not act independently, let alone do their own way.It is an interest group condensed by a core person, joined by many people, everyone drinks wine, eats meat, and manages affairs.Of course, Liu Bang's circle was still very small at that time, and it hadn't reached the level of gathering people who raised their arms and responded, but it was already beginning to be seen, because his future life path has been walking according to this inertia.Perhaps Liu Bang at that time would not have realized that his innate pride and helplessness in adapting to life would turn into a gravitational attraction that people would scramble to join in the future, and it would also become the capital for him to be superior to others in the future.

God is fair, give you this and don't give you that.It is precisely because Liu Bang does not have the capital to sit back and pick and choose, that he will actively mobilize every cell in his body and turn them into a kind of energy to survive, or to live better.This kind of energy accumulates little by little, and slowly gathers together, eventually forming an indestructible force, which becomes his confidence and courage in a duel with Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. No matter how individual Xiang Yu is, in fact, he still took a traditional path, and this path was not successful. Apart from showing off his personality, he didn't really settle down to do anything well.What's more regrettable is that his rebellious personality has not been fully brought into play, because his thinking is still limited by tradition.His rebellion is just a kind of rebellion based on tradition, and has not been fully displayed.

In contrast, Liu Bang took a wild path. He completely abandoned tradition, lived happily and showed his temperament.His vision is wider, and his thinking is more connotative. A person with outstanding personality generally has few friends, because it is difficult for others to contact him and understand him.But once such a person has friends, they will definitely be close buddies.Xiang Yu's character is like this, you have to have a deep understanding of him to accept him, and once you accept him, or if you find someone who appreciates him, you will love him even more.Unfortunately, such people are very few.

Liu Bang is more popular. He treats everyone equally (except for Confucian scholars, which we will talk about later), can become good friends with anyone, and get close to everyone. Naturally, these people who come into contact with him are easy to be misunderstood. Infected by it, people will appreciate his casualness, frankness, and forthrightness, and then draw him as a confidant. When Liu Bang was the head of the pavilion in Surabaya, he once sent laborers to serve in Lishan, and the laborers ran a lot on the way.This is Liu Bang's dereliction of duty, and he will be held accountable. He might have to move his head, but Liu Bang didn't get angry, so he thought about it, and he simply untied the ropes of the others, saying: "All the public and others will go, and I will also do it from now on." Gone!" It means that you all run for your life, and I also found a place to play and disappeared.As a result, "more than a dozen strong men among the apprentices were willing to follow", many of them were unwilling to leave, and finally fell into the grass with Liu Bang, which shows the affinity of this escort officer.

Different personalities and different ways of dealing with people also determine that the two form different circles in society.Liu Bang's circle will become bigger and bigger, and Xiang Yu's circle will become smaller and smaller. During the confrontation between Chu and Han, many people who initially followed Xiang Yu turned to Liu Bang, which can explain this problem. Not only in ancient times, but also in modern times, people like Xiang Yu still can't stand it.People like this can be seen everywhere around us. They are inflexible, don't know how to accommodate and compromise, and blindly follow their own temperament. In the end, the leaders don't appreciate it, the subordinates don't buy it, and they don't have many friends.There are more people like Liu Bang now. This kind of people are very easy to eat. They are alert, tactful, and laugh with everyone, so that you have no sense of distance.They also often bring people together for a meal or other entertainment to further reinforce the feeling.This kind of person mixed in the officialdom or the workplace, and usually got promoted very quickly.

There is such a living example. In the early 1980s, in order to enrich the township, both A and B became recruiting cadres (informal cadres) in the township, earning wages of tens of dollars a month. Person A is honest, and every time he receives his salary, he will hand it over to his wife, and his little life will become more and more prosperous because of this. B's salary is all paid for by him, and his wife doesn't want to see a penny. In his words, relationship is also productivity, and the family can't be poor without this money. B's popularity is therefore well mixed.Later, in the township election, B was listed as the shortfall, which meant that the official candidate appointed by the county was shortlisted. B not only became an official cadre, but also became a veritable leading cadre. Liu Bang is similar to B, and it is not accidental that he became the pavilion chief of Surabaya. Before the incident, Xiang Yu had been following and relying on his uncle. Apart from his rebellious character, he had never been completely self-reliant. For a long time, Xiang Yu lived under the shadow of his uncle.Even when the incident happened later, he followed his uncle, not the mastermind, but at most a coercion.This makes him dependent to a certain extent, he will take life too simply, and think of people and things too simply. Xiang Yu has no specific job, so he doesn't have any social experience, which makes him unable to make correct judgments when facing complex social issues.Xiang Yu also has no political experience. He has never experienced political cunning, so he has no political maturity. This became his fatal weakness on the political stage later. He was repeatedly defeated in subsequent political games. Before Liu Bang started the incident, he had already become a member of the society. Not only did he have many years of experience in politics, but he also had the experience of being a bandit and taking the lead alone.These experiences and experiences quickly produced social effects, allowing Liu Bang to have a rough and small circle.After the heroes rebelled against Qin, Xiao He and Cao Shen supported Liu Bang as Peigong and became an independent anti-Qin team. Regardless of the strength, combat effectiveness, and political influence of the team at that time, Liu Bang's status was higher than Xiang Yu from the beginning. His uncle Xiang Liang was a character on the same level, although he later defected to Xiang Liang. So we have another question: Who is Ye Luzi? In terms of education, Liu Bang is definitely a wild way, and Xiang Yu is a right way.When things go wrong, it's the exact opposite.Liu Bang used to be an official, and once occupied the mountain as king, so it is not surprising that he was elected as the leader.However, although Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew are nobles from aristocratic families, they have long been desolate and have become ordinary people. Then their uprisings are similar to those of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.
