The hoof is quick and steady, brave and resolute.
"Hard-working people, everything pays off, go forward bravely, and the 3,000 Yue family can swallow Wu." Gou Jian, the King of Yue, was dormant for ten years. He is in no hurry for a moment of honor or disgrace. He is determined, forbearing and down-to-earth. He made great efforts to prepare his horse, lying on a pile of firewood and sucking his bile. Finally, it annexed the State of Wu and took advantage of it.
It can be seen that courage makes the hoof disease, and perseverance makes the steps steady. Only by going forward bravely and being firm and unyielding can we go straight to the dark cloud road step by step and strut.
Shang Yang's political reform is a good example.
When Qin Xiaogong was in China, the land of Qin was barren and the people lived in poverty. In order to preserve itself and make great achievements in plundering the hegemony of princes, Qin decided to reform and strengthen itself. I have long known that there will be bloodshed and sacrifice in ancient political reform, and you are as smart as a business gentleman. But he still argued with Confucianism in a lonely voice and in front of the monarch, so the mighty reform flourished in the northwest with thunderous momentum. Of course, political reform will inevitably touch the interests of some people. The nobles, officials, bureaucrats, and Hao You of the State of Qin protested against this, and they were boiling like a bee. However, Mr. Shang remained calm and resolute, which enabled the law to be implemented quickly, and the foundation of the law was as firm as Mount Tai and unshakable. Even though he still can't get rid of the fate of being a victim of political reform, his brave spirit has long been integrated into his thoughts and opinions, protecting the hoof development of Qin, sweeping the six countries and unifying the whole country.
As we can see, Shang Jun is fearless of power, innovative and indomitable until death do us part. His spirit has been praised and studied by reformers in past dynasties. However, all the beautiful things in the world also have a "degree" to keep balance. Shang Yang is brave but not reckless, firm but not stubborn. Throughout the long river of history, how many reformers rampaged and went too far; Or was it headstrong and self-serving, which eventually led to the failure or even collapse of the dynasty?
For example, as soon as he came to power, the ambitious little emperor and Wang Anshi, who was proud of his talent, vigorously promoted the New Deal, regardless of the sufferings of the people, and used harsh punishments to achieve their goals. Such "great courage" not only failed to restore the poor and weak national strength, but brought more national strength to the Song Dynasty and the declining people's livelihood.
"The hoof is sick and steady, brave and resolute." Courage is burning your bridges. The determination of the last stop is the ambition of "trying to compete with God", which is the whip of the changing times. Once it is waved, it will pass like lightning. Perseverance is the persistence of "sticking to the castle peak and not relaxing" and the determination of "not regretting after a narrow escape". No matter "east, west, north and south" or "saying that I am good at prostitution", we can't shake our will to make steady progress. Courage leads to hoof disease, perseverance leads to steady steps, courage leads to perseverance, and braving the wind and waves.
I want to ride a brave horse and whip it from now on. Spring is just right on the road, and the sky is sunny!
