"Ray is a dutiful son, wealth is cruel, hemp rope is particular about details, and bad luck is for bad people"! Right?
In China's filial piety culture, filial piety is the first of all virtues. Since he is a true dutiful son, how can he be struck by lightning? Is this too unreasonable and confusing black and white? Because in our traditional consciousness, only unfilial sons will be struck by lightning. Here is a story that can help us understand.
There is a play in Beijing Opera called Qingfeng Pavilion. The main content of the play is that during the period when Xue Rong, a scholar in the Song Dynasty, went to Beijing to take the exam, Yan, a family official, threw his son born in the mill by his concubine Zhou into the wilderness. Zhou had no choice but to hide the bloody book and the golden hairpin in the swaddling clothes for marking.
The baby was picked up by Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Yuanxiu who lived in grinding bean curd, named Zhang Jibao and brought up. When Keppel 13 years old, he was laughed at by his classmates, went home to ask the truth, and was scolded by Zhang. Jibao fled to Qingfeng Pavilion and met Zhou, who read The Book of Blood and was admitted to Beijing.
Zhang Yuanxiu and his wife were very sad and sick after losing their son. They became beggars. Later, Zhang Jibao won the first prize, and the couple went to recognize it after learning it. Who knows that Keppel turned against him, two old people both died in Qingfeng Pavilion, and Keppel was also killed by thunder.
Although Zhang Yuanxiu and his wife are not their biological parents, they regard them as their own. Although they are infertile, they have the grace to nurture. The essence of both is to protect parents. However, Keppel turned against his former adoptive parents, so that both Zhang and his wife were killed and Keppel was killed by lightning.
From this point of view, "lightning strikes a true dutiful son" is established. It is not true that a dutiful son will be struck by lightning, but that ungrateful people will be punished by heaven. Truth corresponds to falsehood, which is more ironic and practical.
This sentence is actually warning people that we should not be ungrateful to those who owe us, and the kindness of parenting is also kindness. It is a traditional virtue that the Chinese nation should carry forward to be kind and repay the kindness of dripping water.
Wealth is cruel to people, and wealth is cruel to people. Does this mean that people can only get rich if they are cruel? The "malicious" here refers to people's personality characteristics: decisive mind, not procrastinating when things go wrong, not breaking when things go wrong. Such people often get ahead of others in shopping malls or workplaces, so that they can succeed and make a fortune.
You can't understand "malice" as: do whatever it takes to achieve your goal. As the saying goes, a gentleman loves money and takes it wisely. The main way to get money is justice. Therefore, if you want to get rich, you must obey the law first, and you can't do whatever it takes to get rich, so that you ruin yourself.
"Heaven makes the gentleman strive for self-improvement; The terrain is Kun, and the gentleman carries things with morality. " This sentence is regarded as a classic of China culture by many people. "Being virtuous and carrying things" makes many celebrities regard themselves as gods.
In modern interpersonal communication and enterprise operation, people attach importance to morality. Why is it that our accumulated wealth is always easy to be lost?
That's because we haven't accumulated enough virtue. Only with profound virtue, wealth, beauty, etc. We can bear it, only virtue can bear it. Coupled with our courage, confidence, initiative and outstanding ability, we are likely to make a fortune.
Generally speaking, hemp rope is composed of three strands, but if it is used for too long, it will wear out over time, and it is likely to change from three strands to 1 strand, and the details of the rope are easy to break. This is common sense, no doubt. At this time, it is necessary to replace the rope or make up the other two strands so as not to affect it.
Hemp rope's special choice of breaking point explains a philosophy to us: a levee of a thousand miles collapses in an ant nest, and things are often bad in the weak link. If we don't pay attention to it, the consequences are usually unimaginable.
The amount of water in the same barrel often depends on the shortest board. Just as we want to succeed ourselves, the key to success lies in our most fatal shortcomings. Only by overcoming the key shortcomings can we succeed.
Bad luck is reserved for people with bad karma. Bad luck is reserved for people with bad karma. It's hard enough, but why bad luck? Is it unfair?
Bad luck is not only for those who have bad karma, but also for those who are rich and powerful. Only when bad luck comes to bad karma, because the family is poor, it is unsustainable and precarious, and when bad luck comes, it is even more vulnerable.
To put it bluntly, the root cause is that the family has a weak foundation and little capital, and it will collapse at the touch of a button.
For example, in the old society, poor farmers had little food at home and their lives were very difficult, but once they encountered natural disasters, it was equivalent to adding insult to injury to farmers who depended on the weather for food; But for the landlords and the rich, the occasional disaster has little impact, because the landlords have a lot of surplus grain at home.
Do you think the above is correct?
