Chapter 21 "Miscellaneous Copy of Literature and History" - (181-190)

(181) Viewing the way of life is not only temporary, but constant; not only obvious, but subtle; not only reserved, but sudden. The way to observe people is to observe how people spend their space and time, the days they freely control. (182) "Dong Shudu Secretary", virtue, speech, political affairs, and literature are all the learning of sages, and only sages can have both.All the sages belong to the same subject, so the so-called learning is close to their nature, but the sages are each in the same subject, so combining them makes the learning of the sages complete.Later generations either preached Taoism, or were good at rhetoric, or excelled in economics, or mastered classics and history, that is, the studies of the four subjects.However, the later generations set up their own schools, and they are indifferent to each other, but they want to be similar to each other, but they don't know that each has their own similarities. How can they go the same way? It's just a waste of words.The studies of the four subjects are not only incompatible, but also not indiscriminate.Preaching scholars, rhetoric, political affairs, and classics are all so perverted.The same is true for the two schools of rhetoric and classics.Fortunately, what he said was no good, but it was scoffed by those who knew it; unfortunately, what he said was true, was even more misleading.Anyone who is not what he is good at does not need to be beaked.

The case of Wumenglou: This should be appreciated by politicians and writers. What do people think of "frivolous talk"? (183) "Li·Shu Yi", a gentleman does not eat the rest, Dao Jian enjoys himself. The case of Wumenglou: In the 2,000-year feudal society of Middle-earth, there were party officials in Shangfeng Festival, while Peugeots were more talkative.If you are not guilty of being in power, you will be ridiculed by the gentleman.There is the burden of morality, the calamity of fame and fortune, the stain of integrity, and the flaw of honor and salary.Only a gentleman can enjoy his way, and a villain can only use his tools.

(184) The public is where the interests of everyone lie; the upright is where the foundation of truth lies.No self is fair to others, but no self is not in the same rank and caters to the backward.Therefore, it must be correct. Although the gains and losses are your own, justice is in the hearts of the people. (185) The arrogance of governing the way lies in acting with faith, shocking with prestige, leveling with emotion, adhering to the law, breaking the views of mediocrity, and seeking the appropriateness of supplements.Seeing that it is feasible, it is better to make a decision, and it is far from a stable plan.

(186) Dong Zhongshu said, if you don't study the Spring and Autumn Period, you don't know the proper way to deal with classics, and you don't know the right to deal with changing things.So if you don't learn from the Spring and Autumn Period, you can't decide. Spring and Autumn without justice. There is no good alliance in the Spring and Autumn Period.Allies, loyal and trustworthy, form cliques and conspiracies, help each other with evil, fulfill their selfish desires to establish diplomatic relations, and if there is a gap, they will forget their relatives and betray their alliances, and start fighting.In the morning, in the Lu and in the evening, they are in harmony one after another, only looking at profit.

(187) Although they are different in size, they are the same in principle. In terms of concept, there is no big or small.Lao Tzu said, governing a big country is like cooking a small fish.Also here too.However, only those who can govern a large country can do so.If you only have a blog, you can return to the contract. If you only have a contract, you will be a boring and simple empty head. If you can only cook small dishes, you will be a Lupine.However, the theory of cooking small fresh food is not the truth.If it is processed in the same way, it will be a subjective prior. (188) Bravery: Fearless and fearless.Boldness and courage.

Courage must be based on ideals, purpose, and knowledge.It is for the brave.The courage of madness, the anger of a day kills one's body and one's relatives; the courage of blood, the courage of the flesh, the thought of frustrating others at the slightest, is like slamming to the ruler; Zhiyong also.It's for Xiaoyong. (189) Wisdom: 1, smart; 2, insight.To be able to understand everything clearly is to have the ability to deal with it. Wisdom is based on morality.I am a fraudster, a conspiracy. Wisdom spans the world and changes with time.The opposite of wisdom is stupidity. Those who are stuck in a corner and who don't know how to change are also stupid.Those who are old and decadent, and whose soul is imprisoned tomorrow, are also stupid.

Where does wisdom come from? 1. Talent and intelligence, 2. Talent and learning, 3. Experience. Wisdom performance: 1. Don't be right and wrong.Whether right or wrong is based on morality.If you don't know right from wrong, you will be blinded by profit; if you are not determined, you will have no master in your heart; this is a great fool. 2. Distinguished interests.Interest is the same as right and wrong.If it is true, it is beneficial, and benefit can be done; if it is not, it is harmful, and harm cannot be done.Little profit and little harm, those who don't know right and wrong. 3. Know the current situation.The time means whether the time is ripe or not; if you are mature, you can do it, and it is easy to do it; if you are immature, you can’t do it, and it is difficult to do it.Power, that is, the comparison between the obedience and difficulty of power and difficulty.If the situation is going smoothly, it is easy to use force, while against it, it is difficult to use force and fail.The current situation should be judged like this.When it's the right time, it's easy to take advantage of the situation, and it's easy to get twice the result with half the effort.If you don't pick it when it is ripe, it will eventually rot. Time must not be lost, and those who lose will make mistakes. 4. Know yourself.Confidence with oneself and illusion of the other, victorious in all battles.

(190) Dealing with major events, only to become difficult.Gain or failure, success or failure, is always between breathing, so that the dark person should take it, bewildered and unable to get his strength, confused and depressed, hesitating again and again, but the big thing is gone, and the wisdom is not enough.Wisdom is endowed in the sky, but it is not impossible to learn. Those who are proficient in the sky always have extraordinary abilities, but when things succeed, they often fail because of poor living. Knowing the beginning and darkening the end, those who are full of sorrow, only get In learning, use courage to sink, use nourishment to deepen, when things happen, don't shake or slow, but take advantage of the opportunity. After success, you will be calm as if nothing happened. It's called a big conspiracy.Husbands learn the principles from the classics, and learn from the history, the history is the sixth out of ten, and the experience training is the fourth.There are endless changes, and there is no way to ask questions. However, the ancients can be cited to make a case, and they can distinguish it carefully. When they are in the day, they feel as if they are personally responsible for the task, and there is agitation and conflict in it. In the midst of the life experience, how can one gain it from patience and increase one's strength? From this point of view, it is learned from scholars, half from the sky, and those who are in charge of the world, Wu Ke is ignorant, ordinary wisdom And Wu Ke has no learning.
