Chapter 12 2. The Wisdom of Chinese People

Cleverness is the opposite of stupidity.Zheng Banqiao said: "It's rare to be confused", "It's hard to be smart, and it's even more difficult to turn from smart to confused." This absolutely smart language has the subtle philosophy of life of the Chinese people.As the saying goes: "Smartness is cleverness and mistakes", and I agree with this.Chen Meigong said: "Only those who are content, snore and sleep until dawn, but only those who take time out, are foolish until they grow old", which is also extremely clever.Therefore, in China, cleverness and stupidity are combined into one, and the use of cleverness is nothing but pretending to be stupid.

The Chinese are one of the most intelligent peoples in the world, and it seems unnecessary to cite them in many ways.Those who can invent mahjong and Kowloon Circle can probably be called a smart nation.It is a proof that Chinese international students rank among the best in the examinations of European and American universities.It may be said that this is due to natural selection, which is not true. It is because not all overseas students are outstanding, and most of them go abroad because of family relationships.Comparing Chinese farmers and workers with their counterparts in the West, they are not weaker than Western nations.This is still an off-topic question.

But the wisdom of the Chinese is absolutely unmatched by the West, and the most worthy of praise is to kill the wisdom of wisdom with cleverness.The theory of the unity of cleverness and confusion is also the theory of extremely cleverness.I only see my country, but I don't see the West.This kind of worship and confusion, that is, Taoism, originated from Laozhuang.Lao Zhuanggu is the world's first-class smart person in ancient times, and the five thousand words of the Tao Te Ching are also the world's first-class smart philosophy.However, being so smart is close to the philosophy of the old, cunning and tyrant. If you don't be the first in the world, you will never be defeated.Because the Chinese people's intelligence has reached its peak, and then they see the harm of intelligence, so they retreat to guard their stupidity and hide their clumsiness.And because he is extremely clever, he sees through everything and knows that "doing" is no different from "not doing". Instead of doing it and it is useless, why not do it to support my life.Just because of this, Chinese civilization has turned from dynamic to static, with the main retreat, the main defense, the main contentment, and the main contentment, and it has become a civilization that emphasizes permanence rather than progress, and emphasizes peace rather than war.

This kind of reasoning has its advantages.Evolution in the world is hard to say.Bustling, what to do.He Ruo "take a step back and think" to be content and happy in order to seek peace of mind.When this kind of concept penetrates into the minds of ordinary people, harmony becomes a social virtue.If "the blessings are not to be enjoyed to the full, and the power is not to be exhausted", it is also an extremely subtle way. But I am afraid that although Chinese people are smart and good at pretending to be confused, they will eventually be misled by this kind of cleverness.China's weakness is due to being too clever.In the world, it is not easy to say whether it is the stupid who take advantage, or whether it is the smart who take advantage, or whether it is from the smart to the confused.Rehe's defeat was due to confusion.But with a smart and confused view, what is the importance of Jehol's loss?This is what the monk said, "Let's see him again in a few years".The retreat of Jinzhou.Mistakes by cleverness.Putting the confused white people in the same situation, even though they knew they were outnumbered, they had to borrow money from the city.The husband is full of jade and broken tiles, and his language is also confused.With Zhang Xueliang's intelligence, it's not worth it.But smart is yes, stupid is yes, Chinese are smart, Caucasians are smart, I dare not say that.

Those who don't know, the Chinese have invented the use of cleverness to pretend to be confused, but they often suffer from this kind of extreme cleverness.In all things, one is good at calculating personal interests and protecting oneself, but it is rare for a confused person to be brave enough to do things, but state affairs cannot be done.I read Zhu Wengong's "Political Training", and saw a section that says: The scholar-bureaucrats of today's world only deal with the past.Get by.Go up and down with each other so as not to cause trouble, don't pay attention to things.And if the falcon is sudden, he will be able to understand clearly, so he will not be an official.Someone who is less negative and less discouraged will regret it.

It's so embarrassing, everything is engraved as a circle, and I follow the customs, and I think it's an advanced age and knowledge... Such a custom is awesome! It can be seen that the Song people already had this kind of problem, not only "modern scholar-bureaucrats" but also.The husband "carves a square into a circle", does not hurt people's feelings, does not distinguish between right and wrong, and goes up and down with the world, and becomes an old and cunning villain. It is not good at this, but for the society and the country. Isn't it smart?Confused?It is not easy to say.In China, when there are more knowledgeable people, there will be one fewer people in the world;The whole country recognizes Thirty-Six Strategies as the sages with the best plans, but there is no foolish man who misses all the plans.Is it a country's good fortune that the whole country does not suffer from the good men who suffer losses in front of it, but there is no one who is willing to suffer from the weak?Is it the luck of the country?

However, although the Chinese are extremely clever, in the final analysis, it is still wise to be clever and wrong.Woohoo, how can I worship a big foolish man.
