Chapter 4 fourth modality

[translation] A person's appearance is the aftertaste of his bone state, which can often make up for bone defects.Modality is the flowing rhyme of the spirit, which can often make up for the lack of spirit.If you focus on it for a long time, you must focus on the spirit of the person; if you look at it at first glance, you must first look at the mood of the person.Anyone who belongs to everyone - such as the behavior of high-ranking officials, scholars and monks, even if they are shy, is still a good look; and the behavior of children is like the crying, laughing, jumping and screaming of ordinary people in the market. , the more artificial, the more childish and vulgar it seems.Looking at people's mood, of course, we must also distinguish between voicing and voicing for the big things, but we must not only distinguish the voicing and voicing for the details, but also distinguish the primary and secondary before making a choice.

[translation] There are four common moods: euphemistic and weak, unrestrained and unrestrained madness, lazy and lazy attitude, and diplomatic and thoughtful dealing attitude.Like a little bird, gentle, gentle, tender and kind, this is a weak state; disheveled, slovenly, arrogant, arrogant, arrogant, this is a mad state; do what you want, say what you want, regardless of the occasion, Regardless of whether it is appropriate or not, this is laziness; to hide your scheming deeply, to observe the appearance everywhere, to seek good luck and avoid evil in everything, and to be tactful and considerate in dealing with people, this is the state of maneuver.These moods all come from the true feelings in the heart, and cannot be pretentious or artificial.Euphemistic and weak but not flattering, unrestrained and unruly but not noisy, lazy and lazy but honest and innocent, communicative and mellow but strong and heroic, they can all become useful talents in the future; Noisy and noisy, lazy and lazy but not honest and innocent, smooth in communication but not strong, all will become useless waste in the future.The state of affairs fluctuates, and it is difficult to accurately grasp, but as long as you see the general situation, you can tell who will become useful and who will become useless in the future.

[translation] What was mentioned in the previous chapter is the modality that often appears in people's life, which is called "constant state".In addition, there are several modalities that do not appear often, called "tenses".For example, when he is talking with someone, he suddenly turns his eyes and thoughts to other places, which shows that this kind of person is not sincere; when everyone is talking and laughing, he sneers indifferently, which shows that this kind of person is cold and heartless. .This kind of people are deep in the city and have sinister intentions, so they cannot establish friendship with them; the opinions expressed by others may not be completely appropriate, but he echoes them repeatedly, which shows that this person has no opinions; People maliciously slandered and slandered, which shows that this person speaks freely and lives up to his responsibility.This kind of people are vulgar, despicable and shameful, and they cannot cooperate with them; no matter what they encounter, they are noncommittal, but once things come to an end, they hesitate and hesitate, which shows that this person is indecisive; He wept sadly and emotionally over emotional matters, which shows that this person is irrational.The benevolence of this kind of people is purely "benevolence of women", so you can't talk to them sincerely.However, the above three modalities may not necessarily determine a person's lifelong destiny.If you can seek the above three kinds of people, then you can almost make friends with all the people in the world.
