Chapter 136 Both "red face" and "white face" can sing

People with red and white faces are the most common characters in costume dramas.In ancient operas, the red faces are mostly decent old men, and the white faces are usually treacherous villains.The former is like Zhuge Liang and Lin Chong in the play, and the latter is like Cao Cao and Pan Renmei in the play.Life is like a play. In life, when people argue with each other and compete for their own interests, people can often see the change of red face and white face.Those who put on a white face are naturally unforgiving, refusing to give in an inch, and act as if they are in charge, while those who put on a red face must be peacemakers with a smile on their faces.

In the traditional Chinese culture that emphasizes "peace is the most important thing", when it comes to the way of being a human being, people are always advised not to haggle over every detail, to retaliate, to be reasonable, to give way to nothing, to be harmonious, and not to disagree with each other easily. A bad face.However, persuasion is persuasion after all, and it often only represents people's good wishes.After all, we still have to face the facts. If you want to play by ear in communication and respond well, and sing the "harmonious" drama well, you still need to sing with red faces and white faces, and you need to sing well with both faces.Just like those brilliant actors, they can change their facial makeup at any time according to the needs of the role.

Emperor Qianlong was such a leader who would target his own needs and change his face in time. When Qianlong was alive, in order to stabilize scholars, he sang red face, tried his best to win over, and carried out positive encouragement;When singing the red face, he showed affection for the scholars, and even wrote an edict: "Confucian scholars must be included in the biography of history. As long as they are scholars with the quintessence of the Ming Dynasty, they don't have to stick to their grades. Like Gu Donggao Humanoid, we must not let them disappear into oblivion!" In accordance with the emperor's will, the history museum specially set up the title "Biography of the Scholars" to compile academic biographies of great intellectuals.Usually, Qianlong would criticize the memorials sent to him whenever he saw comments that despise "scholars" and "book spirit", saying: "The way to cultivate oneself and govern others is recorded in books. Therefore, the 'book spirit' two Words are especially precious, without the spirit of books, they will become vulgar in the market." And he also said: "I read books and discuss Taoism every day, so I am only a scholar!" No one before.

And once Qianlong suspected that a scholar's remarks would endanger the rule of the Qing Dynasty, he turned his red face to the back of his head and turned into a terrifying white face.Hu Zhongzao, a cabinet bachelor, once wrote such a book called "The Poems of Hard Grinding".Emperor Qianlong waited for someone to report for a long time, but no one reported it, so he simply went to the battle to "Yujia's personal conquest", saying: "It's a heart to talk about turbidity and clearness", adding the word 'turbidity' to the country name, what a heart!" Said: "If the sentence 'the old Buddha is not sick now, he can't open the door when he hears about it', it is very strange! I listen to the government and summon my ministers every day, why is the saying 'the door is not open'!" He also pointed out: " The test questions included "Drying three lines is not like a dragon"... Qianlong is my year name, and "Long" and "Dragon" have the same pronunciation, so you can see the meaning of slander!" , In the middle of the North and South Dippers, there cannot be a bunch of broads." In the poem, he also said: "What does it mean to separate the north and the south, and repeat it again and again?"The spirit tablet of Hu Zhongzao's teacher Ertai was also withdrawn from the "Xianliang Temple". Echang, the son of the E family and the governor, was also ordered to commit suicide because he had sang with Hu.

Qianlong's white face turned really badly, it only made the literati and scholars feel insecure and have to be careful everywhere.A few articles about the game, a few words about appreciating the flowers and singing the moon, if you are not careful, you will often be charged with unwarranted crimes.Qianlong used such a ruthless white face to consolidate his rule. Although the story of Qianlong is far away from us, the enlightenment is worthy of our deep thinking: as a leader, whether you praise and encourage or criticize and criticize, the key lies in grasping the timing and changing the face according to the needs of the role.Only when the timing is right can decisive results be achieved.

If you pay attention, you are actually singing red face and white face unconsciously.When a subordinate makes a mistake, you may say this in public during a meeting: "Manager Li's team is facing such a business for the first time, and it is inevitable that there are inexperienced places, and problems are inevitable. We only hope that he and his team will The team can find the crux of the matter in time and get out of the predicament." As for the punishment, it will not be emphasized, and it will be mentioned in one sentence.After hearing this, Manager Li had a grateful expression on his face.And the other subordinates who attended the meeting were also moved by your "understanding" in their hearts.

After the meeting, you called Manager Li to the office in private, closed the door, with a look of resentment, and even patted the table a few times: "What did you do? You don't know my trust in you ! But things can’t be done like this! You have to learn your lesson!” Manager Li looked terrified. Just imagine, if, as a leader, you lose your temper in public at a meeting and sing your white face to the fullest, your subordinates may not only feel sad or gloating towards Manager Li in their hearts, but also have white faces towards you. The face indicates the presence of a rebellious emotion of disdain.

It can be seen that the use of white face and red face is very important, the key is to see when and where to use it.
