Zuo Lanzhou couplet calligraphy

Zuo is a famous minister and "national hero" in the late Qing Dynasty, which can be called "both civil and military". He is famous for writing couplets. Zuo's couplets are not only magnificent, but also contain his legendary wisdom in dealing with people.

This picture "A man made of iron can be polished by the weather, and much ado about nothing" is a couplet written by Zuo to encourage himself. Nan, Li Ka-shing and Ma Yun, masters of Chinese studies, all appreciate this couplet and take it as their motto.

An iron man who can stand the grind of heaven and earth

This sentence can be regarded as a true portrayal of Zuo's life experience. Zuo's career in the first half of his life was not smooth. First, he went to Beijing to take the exam three times and failed, which is really a pity for his talent. Later, I finally stepped into the officialdom, because my honest and frank personality offended many people and I have been depressed.

These ups and downs of life did not crush Zuo, but tempered his will and made him stronger and stronger. If you are unlucky, make up for it with your efforts. Setbacks and difficulties are not terrible, but gold always shines!

After experiencing various tests of fate, Zuo completed the transformation of his life. His outstanding military talent was discovered by Zeng Guofan, and he took this opportunity to make great achievements, and finally ushered in the dawn of success and became a national hero admired by future generations.

The ancients said: "The sword front comes from sharpening, and the plum blossom fragrance comes from bitter cold." If you want to achieve great things, you must suffer first. Everyone wants to experience the joy of success, but "no pains, no gains", if you don't experience tempering and sweat, how can you get a reward?

What is not envied is mediocrity.

There is a saying that makes sense: "Winners are lonely". This sentence can be understood as that success belongs to a few people, and it can also be understood as that there are many doubts and obstacles on the way to success.

Excellent talents will inevitably be envied by some narrow-minded people. In addition to verbal attacks, more will be framed. These are all necessary experiences for success. There are so many excellent people, why are only a few successful? Whether you can survive this is crucial.

If you lose confidence in questioning and in the face of villain's attack, you will end up in failure, let the villain succeed and waste your talent in vain.

Not being jealous is a mediocrity, so how to deal with the jealousy and attack of villains? Then we must use our own hard power to face it aboveboard. In the face of real strength, these are not problems. At the same time, in the way of dealing with people, we should keep a normal heart and don't let others hinder us. As long as you do yourself well and let nature take its course, all problems will be solved.
