Chapter 73 Chapter 73 The artistic conception of "Gong"

"Gong" is borrowed from a Sichuan saying, which means "drill". People say "drilling" and "drilling everywhere", and what they describe are the poor performances of job seekers. Whenever we hear the word "drilling", it will cause extreme psychological discomfort.Affected by this, over time, when we are faced with the situation of seeking an official, we often hesitate and hesitate, thinking that such a drill is very disgraceful. However, we have forgotten, among all the items, what is the most expensive? diamond! It can be seen that the word drill has another mystery in it.

So what does the word drill mean? Let's take a look at the combination of this character. The character "Drill" is composed of metal and a character "Zhan". Metal was expensive in ancient times, and the character "Zhan" is borrowed to describe a top-down tamping force.For example, the top-down hammering of a blacksmith when forging iron, and the top-down hammering of a washerwoman pounding clothes, this specific working posture was of great significance in ancient times. This means that primitive humans drilled wood to make fire.When ancient humans lit a fire, they initially held a hard branch with both hands, pointed at the dry trunk, and rubbed it vigorously, so that the fine wood dust was squeezed out, and then as the friction increased, The temperature at the hole in the tree trunk gradually increased, and finally ignited the extruded sawdust, so ancient humans got fire.This process is called drilling, and the word “drilling” has a golden radical because the tools for drilling wood to make fire developed to use metal as cluster heads.Zhanzi is the tool and process of drilling wood to make fire.

Humans discovered fire and created civilization ever since.From this we can see that the word drill is so important to the development of human civilization that it cannot be more important.It is for this reason that the most valuable and expensive stones are called diamonds, because this kind of bright and beautiful stone can take away the wisdom and soul of human beings in an instant, making people forget themselves and cannot control themselves. Needless to say, the significance of "drilling" to human life and civilization.The philosophical thinking brought to us by only its diamonds is enough to make people feel at a loss.It should be noted that wood is not a solid thing, and it is most afraid of fire. Burning fire will turn the forest into ashes.However, under the roughness and indifference of the wood, there is a raging fire hidden. If you don't persevere and persevere in drilling, this group of flames that can burn and destroy it cannot be released.And once you can make the wood unleash the dormant flame in it, the flame can warm your life and illuminate your soul.

Under the cover of the cold appearance, everyone is like wood, keeping solid and stable in your life.However, in their hearts, there is a raging fire dormant.If you are ruthless, persevering, use the right method, use people as wood, ignore his pain and feelings, and just persevere in drilling, sooner or later you will drill out the fire in his heart, so that the life of others Fire reflects the path of your life. This is the supreme state of the word "Drilling". In order to achieve this state, countless people have traveled all over the world and tried their best. The purpose is to release the flames in others' hearts to warm themselves.

However, when it comes to drilling, one needs to have powerful tools, the other needs to drill to the target, and the third needs to drill well, all of which are indispensable. If the tool is not strong enough, the powder in the wood cannot be drilled out with a grass stick. The grass stick is drilled into pieces, but the wood does not move at all.If you drill with the wrong target, if you accidentally drill the wood with high humidity, even if you drill the dust flying all over the sky, or if you are so tired that your hands are numb, you will not see the slightest spark.The drilling method is not right. If you are unfortunate enough to drill on a wooden knot, the tendons are twisted here, and the drill wood slips away, and you will hurt yourself if you are not careful.

People talk about drilling, people say drilling when they see a hole, and they are laughing at those fools who have wrong tools, wrong choice of targets, wrong drilling methods, and are far from reaching the realm of drilling. During the reign of Emperor Wenzong of the Tang Dynasty, his son Pang Yan went to Chang'an to rush for the exam and won the first place in one fell swoop, so Tang Wenzong appointed Pang Yan as Jing Zhaoyin and a Hanlin Bachelor.But when the imperial court announced the appointment, the clerk was absent-minded, and wrote Pang Yan's name upside down, writing it as Yan Pang.It doesn't matter if it is written backwards, anyway, Pang Yan will be the official, and Pang Yan will draw the salary, which has no real impact.

At this time, a distant relative came to join him, and he was actually the son who was about to take the exam, and he was Pang Yan's nephew in terms of seniority.Pang Yan was overjoyed, so he welcomed the guests in, entertained them with tea and meals, and asked about the situation in their hometown while drinking.The guests answered their questions, but the relatives he mentioned made Pang Yan feel strange. The young Juzi's family members were all surnamed Yan, and none of them had the surname Pang. At that time, Pang Yan was confused, and asked the young man, "What's your surname?" The young man laughed and said, "Uncle, you really know how to joke. Your surname is Yan, and mine is also Yan. Do you still have to ask?" Pang Yan Yan was in a hurry: "But my surname is not Yan, but my surname is Pang." The young man was not happy, and his face sank: "Uncle, we don't bring such fun, how can your surname be Pang instead of Yan? You The surname is Pang, who else can I find to find relatives?"

For this young man, he was right to be good at it. The most important thing in life is to be good at it, and only those who have it can win.But his drilling skills were wrong, the method was wrong, and what was worse was that he drilled the wrong person, so he left his name in the history books and let future generations laugh at him.But in the officialdom, there is no right or wrong. The winner is a prince and the loser is a thief. As long as you have done the right tricks and achieved achievements, no one will make irresponsible remarks to you again.
