Chapter 7 Section 6 Chance of Qianliju meeting Bole

In ancient China, talented teenagers were called Qianliju, which means that their future is boundless, and their talents are enough to make them gallop thousands of miles to pursue that beautiful tomorrow.In ancient China, there is another story about Bole looking for horses. It is said that in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a capable man who was good at looking after horses. His name was Sun Yang, also known as Bole.One day, Bole drove by a place called Yuban (now in Pinglu, Shanxi), and saw an unremarkable horse lying under a salt cart.As soon as it saw Bole, it chirped.Bole recognized that it was a thousand-mile horse, and regretted that it was only used to pull salt trucks, so he got out of the car and cried for it.This story actually uses the relationship between Bole and Qianliju as a metaphor for interpersonal relationships, which means that a talented person is not appreciated by everyone. Only when he meets a person with a discerning eye for a hero can he be recognized from the crowd Come out, promote and reuse.If Qianliju fails to meet Bole, just like a talented person fails to meet someone who can recognize talents, he may be buried for a long time, and even die silently in the sorrow and anger of frustration.The story of Qianliju encountering Bole seems to be a bit opportunistic, that is, it emphasizes the chance of people and ignores the importance of personal efforts.However, in fact, this kind of situation does exist, and chance does have a certain relationship with whether a person can become a talent.The correct approach is that individuals should not only make continuous efforts to equip themselves with the basic conditions for becoming talents, but also properly reveal their abilities to others and do something good for the masses so that they can identify themselves from the crowd and promote them. people who reuse.

The actual example of Qianliju meeting Bole in Chinese history is the most familiar story of Xiao Heyue chasing Han Xin.When Han Xin was young, his family was very poor, and he often couldn't even afford food, so he had to beg for food from others.There was an old lady who was washing cotton wool by the river, she believed that Han Xin was a troubled young man who would be successful in the future, and often brought him food.But when it comes to Han Xin's future, the old lady can't help.But another rogue kept coming to bully Han Xin, telling Han Xin to crawl under his crotch for fun.In fact, Han Xin has great ambitions and abilities, but he was born at an untimely time, and no one appreciates him, so it is difficult to display his ambitions and talents for a while.When Xiang Liang raised an army, Han Xin took his only sword and went to defect, and became a pawn.After Xiang Liang died in battle, Han Xin became a doctor with Xiang Yu.He offered advice and suggestions to Xiang Yu many times, not only for Xiang Yu's sake, but also hoped that he could be reused.But Xiang Yu didn't have the ability to identify talents at all, so he didn't reuse him.In a fit of anger, Han Xin defected to Liu Bang.But Liu Bang is not Bole, and he can't recognize Han Xin, a thousand-mile horse. He just asks Han Xin to make a horse, and is responsible for handling food and grass.Xiao He under Liu Bang is a bole who can know Qianliju.After talking with Han Xin several times, he decided that Han Xin was a general.When Han Xin left angrily because he could not get Liu Bang's reuse, Xiao He took advantage of the moonlight to chase Han Xin all night, and finally chased Han Xin back, and recommended him to Liu Bang again and again, so that Han Xin was finally worshiped as a general. Neutrality made great contributions and helped Liu Bang establish the Han Dynasty.The young Han Xin has a strategy in his chest, which is an internal factor for him to become a talent, which is incomparable to others, and his real success depends on Xiao Hehui's ability to recognize heroes with his eyes, and remove him from the ordinary position of Su Duwei. Identified it and suggested that Liu Bang reuse this opportunity.

Ban Gu in the Eastern Han Dynasty was able to complete the "Book of Han", which depended on the appreciation of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty.Ban Gu was clever since he was a child. He could write articles and recite poems at the age of nine.When he grew up, he was sent to Luoyang, the capital, to study at the Taixue. Because of his hard work, he soon became a young scholar who was well-read and well-documented. At the age of 23, Ban Gu's father, Ban Biao, died.In order to inherit his father's career of editing "Historical Records", Ban Gu continued to edit at home, but was accused of privately writing national history and sent to prison.Fortunately, his younger brother Ban Chao went to the emperor to write a letter to Fu Que, and he was released.At that time, Emperor Han Ming accidentally read several drafts of history books confiscated from Ban Gu's home, and was actually attracted.He found that Ban Gu was indeed a talent for editing history books, so he decided to appoint him, and asked him to review the secret books collected by the royal family while continuing to compile national history.From the age of 27, Ban Gu officially engaged in the work of compiling history books. After years of hard work, he finally completed the immortal masterpiece "Hanshu".If it hadn’t been appreciated by Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty to order Ban Gu to publicly edit the history books as a historian, then, firstly, he might not be able to write the history of the country secretly at home; It is simply impossible to continue editing.The chance for Ban Gu was that Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty occasionally read his manuscripts in person, so he was appreciated and honored with the important task of compiling the history of the country.It can be seen that Ban Gu's ability to edit history books is the internal cause of his success, while being appreciated by Emperor Han Ming is the external cause of his success.The combination of internal and external factors makes it possible for him to become a talent.

Jiang Wan of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period, from official to prime minister, was a remarkable talent who supported the endgame for many years after Zhuge Liang's death.He was able to stand out after being appreciated by Zhuge Liang.It turned out that Jiang Wan was already working under Liu Bei when he was young, because Liu Bei didn't realize that he was a talent, so before entering Shu, he only asked him to be a small official who copied documents.After entering Shu, although the regime was first established and talents were needed everywhere, Liu Bei only appointed Jiang Wan as the magistrate of the small Guangdu (now Shuangliu, Sichuan).Jiang Wan, who has great ambitions, is of course not content to be a small county magistrate. He can finish all the trivial matters in the county in a matter of hours. Chance.Once, when Liu Bei went to Guangdu for some business, he saw that Jiang Wan not only did not come to meet him, but fell asleep at home after getting drunk, Longyan couldn't help being furious, and ordered Jiang Wan to be executed.After intercession, although he was exempted from the death penalty, he was still removed from the county magistrate's post.But Zhuge Liang had Bole's vision, and he decided that Jiang Wan was a good horse for thousands of miles, so he promoted Jiang Wan to be an official again, and took up the posts of Shang Shulang and Dong Caoyu.Later, when Zhuge Liang himself went on the Northern Expedition, he further reused Jiang Wan and appointed him and Zhang Yi to serve as acting prime ministers.From then on, Jiang Wan, a thousand-mile horse, finally had the opportunity to display his talents.He tried his best to raise food and grass in the rear, and transported it to the front line continuously, which relieved Zhuge Liang's worries and enabled him to do his best to fight wits and courage with his old opponent Sima Yi on the battlefield.When Zhuge Liang felt that he was old and weak and was about to die soon, he wrote many times to the master Liu Chan, suggesting that Jiang Wan should take over his position after his death, so Jiang Wan finally became an outstanding figure supporting the political situation of Shu Han .If Zhuge Liang, the Bole, hadn't recognized Jiang Wan as a thousand-mile steed, Jiang Wan might never have done anything.It can be seen from this that Jiang Wan's own talent is the internal cause of his success, and Zhuge Liang's appreciation of him is an indispensable external cause of Jiang Wan's success.

Wang Meng of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the former Qin Dynasty was able to serve as a general of the auxiliary country because Qin King Fu Jian appreciated his ability. When Wang Meng was young, his family was very poor and he made a living by selling dustpans (ben ji native machine).He is poor and ambitious, studies hard, reads extensively in military books, and hopes to become a general in the future, but no one can appreciate Wang Meng.People always think that this young man selling dustpans covered in rags and lice is just an ordinary person, nothing special.One year, General Huan Wen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty led troops to the Northern Expedition, and when he arrived in Guanzhong, he stationed troops in Bashang.Wang Meng thought it was his chance to make his mark, so he went to see Huan Wen.When he met Huan Wen, he caught the lice on his body while talking eloquently, analyzing the situation at that time, and expressing his views on the political situation.However, Huan Wen was not Bole, he was skeptical of what this strange young man said, and he couldn't recognize that the horse in front of him was a galloping horse, whistling and roaring.After listening to Wang Meng's conversation, he didn't intend to take in the talented person, but sent Wang Meng away.Later, when Huan Wen's class teacher returned to the south, although he had planned to take Wang Meng away, Wang Meng had already recognized Huan Wen's true colors and thought that he was not the person he should rely on, so he didn't follow him, but stayed to sell his dustpan. Waiting for someone who really appreciates him.After Qin King Fu Jian heard about Wang Meng's situation, he thought it was a pearl buried in the grass, so he quickly sent someone to invite Wang Meng for an interview.This time, the situation was different. Wang Meng talked eloquently, while Fu Jian listened intently, and kept nodding his head in agreement while listening.The words made Fu Jian believe that Wang Meng was a good steed for thousands of miles, and immediately decided to reuse it.Wang Meng was first appointed, and soon promoted to concurrent, and later sent him to serve as general of Fuguo.In one year, Wang Meng's official position was promoted five times. Wang Meng was only 36 years old that year.From then on, Wang Meng took off his tattered and lice-infested clothes and the dustpan he depended on for his livelihood, and helped Fu Jian drastically reform politics and display his talents to the best of his ability.With talents like Wang Meng in the former Qin Dynasty, the country has flourished since then, and soon became a powerful country in the north.

Wang Yingchen, a scholar full of reform spirit in the early Southern Song Dynasty, would never have achieved his later career if he had not been discovered by the county captain Yuxi [chu out] of his hometown Yushan County (now Yushan, Jiangxi) as a talented young man.Wang Yingchen is from Yushan, Xinzhou. He has been dignified and sophisticated since he was a child. He knew how to study hard at the age of five.His father was an archer in the Yushan County Government. He had neither social status nor much cultural accomplishment, and his family was very poor, so he couldn't afford lamp oil for lighting at night.Wang Yingchen wanted to read more, so he had to go up the mountain to pick up some dry branches and light them as lamps for reading at night.After he studied in a private school in his hometown for two years, the teacher was no longer able to teach him, and his family was really unable to afford him to study in the county school.At that time, a scholar named Yu Xi happened to be sent to Yushan County as a county captain.After he took office, he found that Yushan County was closed and culturally backward, so he vigorously expanded the county school and cultivated talents.He heard that Wang Yingchen, the son of an archer in the county government, was a studious child, so he asked him to take the exam in person.As soon as they met, Yu Xi was very happy to see that Wang Yingchen was handsome and energetic, so he wrote the upper line of "a horse's hoof broke through the green grass", asking Wang Yingchen to make a second line.Wang Yingchen immediately blurted out: "Dragon Claw removes Bai Baiyun".Yu Xi was very surprised that the little child turned out to be a dragon symbolizing the emperor, and decided that Wang Yingchen must be a pillar of the country when he grew up, so he left him to study in the county school, free of tuition, and provided with board and lodging.Two years later, he betrothed his daughter to him.When Wang Yingchen was 18 years old, Yu Xi asked him to go to the capital Lin'an (now Hangzhou) to take the Jinshi examination.In the test paper, Wang Yingchen put forward the famous saying that "sincerity should be the foundation of governance", which greatly moved Song Gaozong, and Yubi personally named him the number one scholar.From then on, the son of an archer in Yushan County ascended to the sky in one step, became a nationally famous champion in new disciplines, and began to embark on the road of becoming an official.Later, Wang Yingchen successively worked as an official of the Ministry of Officials, a young supervisor of the Secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and an agent of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. He was also sent to Sichuan to be the prefect of Chengdu.Everywhere he went, he carried out reforms to clarify the administration of officials and save money, which was quite popular.Later, Wang Yingchen was squeezed out by treacherous officials and demoted.He returned to his hometown, opened a museum to teach apprentices, and contributed to the development of cultural education in his hometown.People said with deep emotion about Wang Yingchen's growth: the son of an archer, without the strong support of Yu Xi, the county lieutenant and father-in-law, would never be able to rise to the top.Of course, his own hard work is also a very important factor in his success.

I have told many stories about Qianliju meeting Bole, but I still want to go back and emphasize what I said before, which is: Qianliju must first have the ability to run thousands of miles. This is achieved by hard work and hard work. It is an internal cause.Bole Xiangma, distinguishing Qianliju from ordinary horses, so that it can be reused and galloping, this is a chance, but an external cause.It is possible that a genuine thousand-mile horse will not meet Bole for a while, or even for a lifetime, but most of the outstanding horses will always be appreciated by Bole sooner or later. Mercedes Benz.It is impossible for a lazy and clumsy horse to meet a Bole-like character and insist on pulling it to act as a gallant horse, because it does not have the ability to gallop a thousand miles, and it will inevitably die by the side of the road in the end.
