It is rare to be confused, that is to say, it is rare for people to be confused when they should pretend to be confused. "Difficult to be confused" is a famous saying handed down by Zheng Banqiao during the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, which is his own official and life situation. Later generations think that the word "rarely confused" is philosophical, so they hang it at home in the form of banners as a warning for daily life.
Origin:
After Qianlong, the word "muddleheaded" written by Zheng Banqiao was made into various gifts or rubbings or sold as badges like leaflets, which also made people more interested in this cynical Mr. Zheng Banqiao; The explanation of "rare confusion" comes from one's own psychological needs, so it is postponed to the mindset and value orientation of the word "rare confusion". But because the author didn't know his intention at that time, he will have a different understanding now.
It is said that the word "rarely confused" was written in Yunfeng Mountain, Laizhou, Shandong Province. One year, Zheng Banqiao made a special trip here to see the Zheng Wengong Monument, but he couldn't leave. It was dark and he had to spend the night in a cabin on the mountain. The shopkeeper is a refined old man, pretending to be a "confused old man" and speaking well. In his room, a table-sized inkstone was displayed, which was exquisite in stone and carved, leaving a deep impression on Zheng Banqiao. The old man asked Zheng Banqiao to engrave an inscription on the back of the inkstone. Banqiao thought that the old man must have a history, so he inscribed the word "muddleheaded" and used the seal of "Kangxi Scholar Yongzheng Juren Gan Long Jinshi".
Because there are still many gaps in the inkstone, Banqiao said that the old man should write a postscript. The old man wrote: "beautiful stones are hard to get, especially hard stones, and it is even harder to change from beautiful stones to hard stones." Beauty is in the middle, but stubbornness is outside, hiding the home of savages, not entering the treasure door. " He used a square seal, which said, "College entrance examination first, rural entrance examination second, and palace examination third." Banqiao was surprised to know that the old man was a retired official. Feeling the name of the confused old man, I saw that there was still a gap on the back of the inkstone, so I added a paragraph: "It is difficult to be smart, especially confused, and it is even more difficult to change from smart to confused. Let go, take a step back, feel at ease now, and report later. "
The fine print of calligraphy and painting is: "it is difficult to be smart, but difficult to be confused." It's even harder to change from smart to confused. Let go, take a step back, and feel at ease now, not to get a return later. "
