Chapter 13 Chapter 6 Learning Team and Five Elements Attributes

In the last chapter, the author expounded what kind of management mode a mature sutra-learning team should have, and this chapter mainly explains what kind of relationship mode a successful team should have among its members. Tang Seng, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Monk have always been known as the perfect scripture-learning team. Someone once asked such an interesting question-comparing the scripture-learning team to a company. If the company encounters a financial crisis, it must lay off employees and will lay off employees. who? Some people say that Sun Wukong should be cut, because Sun Wukong is so capable and powerful that he is more than Zhu Bajie and Drifting Monk, and he is also better than Tang Seng in courage and resourcefulness. He has done all the work that others want to do, leaving others without work But, this is tantamount to stealing other people's jobs, so if you lay off employees, you should lay off him. In this way, the pressure on everyone will be much less when the best ones are gone, and everyone will have work to do. eat.As for Sun Wukong's great ability, he can make a living wherever he goes, so there is no need to worry about him starving to death.

Some people say that Zhu Bajie should be eliminated, because Zhu Bajie is just the opposite of Sun Wukong. He is not capable, resourceful, timid, greedy and lustful. The most hateful thing is to tell lies all day long and make noises to separate families. He is simply a big cancer in the Buddhist scriptures team. , the black sheep, with him, sooner or later, the company will be led astray.If he is laid off, the atmosphere of the whole company will be completely new. Moreover, Zhu Bajie eats too much and consumes too much cost of the company. Laying him off will also save a lot of resources for the company, which will help the company overcome difficulties and further develop.

Some people say that Monk Sha should be fired, because Monk Sha is too ordinary. He has neither excellent business skills nor outstanding learning comprehension, nor is he superior in IQ. Face, customers will be annoyed when they see it.If you insist that he has a good personality, then he is really honest and obedient, but being obedient and honest will not improve his performance; you also say that he has a firm will, but being strong will not bring benefits.There are a lot of people like this in the society, one more is not exposed, and the other is not obvious. In the enterprise, they belong to the kind of people who eat vegetarian food and wait to die. If they are not laid off, who will be laid off?

Some people also said that Tang Seng should be fired, because he is not a good leader, he talks all day long, complaining that this employee is not good, complaining that that employee is not good, he is timid, lacks foresight, and he is self-willed and does not listen to others. Frequently lead the company into the traps dug by the opponents, and let the employees desperately save the company.Apart from these, the most unbearable thing is that there are no weekends, no holidays, rushing to work every day, and no salary every month, and no benefits every year. This is infinitely squeezing the blood and sweat of the working people!Tang Seng must be cut.

There are different opinions, who will be laid off? The question maker laughed and announced the answer, saying: "No one can be cut off." The reason?Because the quartet is a very reasonable team, everyone has advantages and disadvantages at the same time, the advantages and disadvantages complement each other, but it is perfect.For example, Tang Seng is the leader. Without him, there would be no team. It means that the capital of the enterprise is paid by him, so he cannot be lacking; besides, Sun Wukong is the backbone of the business, the elite in the field, and the resourceful military adviser. Without him, the enterprise cannot make a single step; He is proficient in everything, and is a typical senior public relations talent. How can a modern enterprise lack a senior public relations talent?As for Monk Sha, he has to lead the leader's horse, clean the bowl, and get the paper and pen for the leader. He is an administrator, and a good company cannot lack administration.Therefore, none of the four people can be laid off. Under the economic crisis, they should work together to tide over the difficulties.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with saying this, but it is a bit superficial and has not diverged further, and the author of the question seems to have overlooked some key things-the scripture learning team is not a group of four, but a group of five, please do not put the indispensable The white dragon horse was forgotten. Xiaolou statement: I wrote this book to express my own views, not to force anyone to accept my point of view, nor to argue with anyone. For a thousand readers, there are a thousand Journey to the West , Everyone has different experiences and cognitions, and they have different perspectives on problems. As long as there are no mistakes in major issues, why bother to distinguish between superiors and inferiors?If you say you are right, you are right, and if you say mine is wrong, it doesn’t matter, but don’t expound your point of view in my post, you can re-post it, why bother talking in my small building ?It bothers the people and fails to convince me, so why bother?

If anyone has the deepest understanding, then of course it is Mr. Wu Chengen. Unfortunately, Mr. Wu is not here, so if I say mine, others are not qualified to say mine, so it would be wrong, right? Everyone read this book, try to be happy, feel comfortable, take what you need, and get what you want. Why be so serious, isn’t there a saying, if you are serious, you will lose. So, if I disagree with some master or brewing wine, don’t be surprised. I’m not a master. There are so many readers cheering, so many readers like it, so many readers posting it, and the publishing house and editor are willing to publish it for us. To a certain extent, it shows that my point of view is accepted by the public.

Well, enough gossip, I wish you a happy weekend! The author's argument is that the five people who learn from the scriptures correspond to the attributes of the five elements, and the whole is a complete one. The lack of any one will lead to the incompleteness of the five elements and the imbalance of yin and yang. In fact, in Wu Chengen's book, he made a special affirmation of the five people, and replaced the title of the five people with gold, wood, water, fire, and earth in the five elements many times, and the saying that the five people correspond to the five elements is not true. The author is original, and I believe that many people have already raised this proposition. However, although many people agree that the five Buddhist scriptures correspond to the attributes of the five elements, there are different opinions on which attribute each person corresponds to, and the opinions cannot be unified.Some people say that Sun Wukong corresponds to "fire", some say that Tang Seng corresponds to "fire"; some say that Zhu Bajie corresponds to "water", and some say that little white dragon corresponds to "water"; earth".

The author also has different opinions on who should correspond to what. First of all, the attributes of Monkey King, Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha are relatively easy to determine, but it can be seen from the chapters of the book.The thirty-second chapter is titled "Pingdingshan Gongcao Passes the Letter, and the Wooden Mother of the Lianhua Cave is in Disaster". Therefore, the "Wooden Mother" here refers to Zhu Bajie, and "Wooden Mother" is also mentioned in the forty-first chapter "The Heart Ape is defeated by the fire, and the Wooden Mother is captured by the devil". Capture; the seventy-sixth chapter "The mind and spirit dwell in the demon and return to the nature, and the wooden mother descends the monster with the real body", Zhu Bajie is captured by the three demons of Shituoling.According to these chapters, it can be clearly determined that "Wooden Mother" refers to Zhu Bajie.

After confirming Zhu Bajie, Sun Wukong will be sure. The thirty-eighth chapter "The baby asks the mother to know the right and wrong, and the gold and wood can see the false and true" tells that Monkey King and Zhu Bajie go to the imperial garden of Wuji country to salvage the king's body; the forty-eighth The seven chapters "The Holy Monk blocked the sky at night, and the golden wood rescued the little boy" said that Monkey King and Zhu Bajie turned into a boy and a virgin to trick and deceive the inspiration king; This time it is about Zhu Bajie and Monkey King getting rid of the flower skin leopard essence.Since "Wooden Mother" is Zhu Bajie, then "Jin Gong" must be Monkey King.

Sun Wukong is the "Golden Duke" and Zhu Bajie is the "Wooden Mother". What about Drifting Monk? Sand Monk is also sure, the 89th chapter "Yellow Lion Jingxu set up a nail and rake banquet, gold, wood and earth tricks make trouble on Leopard Head Mountain" tells the story of Monkey King, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Monk who went to Leopard Head Mountain to ask for their weapons, so "Soil" is Drifting Monk. There is no doubt that Sun Wukong corresponds to "gold", Zhu Bajie corresponds to "wood", and Monk Sha corresponds to "soil". "Mother of Wood", what is Mother of Wood?The mother of wood is the source of wood, and in the five elements, water produces wood, so the mother of wood is "water", that is, Zhu Bajie is "water" instead of "wood". This point of view is nonsense. It is groundless to interpret "Mother of Wood" as "Mother of Wood". Yes, but the author wants to ask, if the female can give birth, can the male also give birth? If it is difficult to determine based on these episodes alone, then the author can also cite an example. In Chapter 61 of the original work, when Monkey King and Zhu Bajie fought against the Bull Demon King, Zhu Bajie said: "A wood born in Hai is matched as a pig, and the cow is brought back Soil. Shenxia begets gold, but it is a monkey, and there is no punishment and no restraint, so it is more friendly." Listening to this, how clear it is, "Wood born in Hai is worthy of being a pig", "Shenxia begets gold, but it is a monkey", Zhu Bajie is "wood ", Sun Wukong is "gold", and Monk Sha is "earth". In fact, in addition to the bright line evidence written by Wu Chengen, the author can also find some dark line evidence to prove the attributes of Sun, Zhu, and Sha. The first is provenance.How was Sun Wukong born?Naturally born stone monkey.Sun Wukong is a stone monkey, regardless of gold and stone, stone is gold; Zhu Bajie comes from Yunzhan Cave in Fuling Mountain, and the "stack" in Yunzhan Cave is "wood"; Sha Monk comes from Liusha River, "quicksand" is also "earth". The second is the mutual restraint of the five elements.Zhu Bajie was conquered by Sun Wukong, it is "gold conquering wood"; Monk Sha was conquered by Mu Zha, it is precisely "wood conquering soil". All the above-mentioned textual research can always prove the five-element attributes of sun, pig, and sand. In fact, the attributes of these three people are easy to determine, but the attributes of Tang Seng and Bai Longma are not easy to determine, because the book does not clearly state these two people, so it can only be inferred. The first is the source, Tang Seng came from the Tang Dynasty in Zhanbuzhou in the south, and the south is fire; the little white dragon came from the West Sea, and was in Yingshoujian when he took refuge, both of which are water. The second is that the five elements restrain each other, and fire restrains metal. Sun Wukong is most afraid of Tang Seng; The third is character, fire is impermanent, and Tang Seng will get angry if he can't wait for him, and his mood is also impermanent; the highest kindness is like water, water is good for all things without fighting, Xiao Bailong is the most low-key person in the Buddhist scriptures team, and he is also the most uncompetitive person. , Do not compete for favor, do not compete for status. To sum up, the author's argument is that Tang Seng belongs to fire, Sun Wukong belongs to gold, Zhu Bajie belongs to wood, sand monk belongs to earth, and little white dragon belongs to water. The five elements generate and restrain each other, restrict each other, and are not separated from each other. Only in this way can we form a team that is the most harmonious, stable, balanced but also the most varied and flexible. Huo overcomes gold, Sun Wukong is controlled by Tang Seng, that is, the most powerful employee must be controlled by the leader; Jin overcomes wood, Zhu Bajie is controlled by Sun Wukong, that is, the most unstable person in the team must be controlled by the most powerful person; Mu overcomes soil, Zhu Bajie controls sand Monk, the seemingly dishonest people in the enterprise are often the ones who can subdue the honest ones the most; Tu overcomes water, Sha monk watches horses, and the indispensable resources in the enterprise are not dangerous unless they are managed by honest people; Water overcomes fire, The little white dragon carrying the Tang monk is often the most inconspicuous factor in an enterprise that can affect the success or failure of a leadership career. The five elements are independent and each has its own characteristics, so that the greatest potential of the whole team can be brought into play. Tang Seng's fire must have the domineering spirit of a leader to command everything; Angry; Monk Sha's soil must have the harmony of adjusting yin and yang; Xiaobailong's water must have the aura of moistening things silently. A successful team is a team that is like the pattern of the five elements that generate and restrain each other. Different personalities can be integrated with each other, check and balance each other and help each other, forming a seamless and endless life. Therefore, this is also the reason why none of the scripture learning teams should be missing, just like what Wu Chengen expressed in the fifty-eighth chapter of the original book (disturbing the universe with one heart, it is difficult to cultivate the truth and die with one body), once Tang Seng drives away Monkey King, It will inevitably produce the consequence of "separation of the middle way and disorder of the five elements".
