Han Danchun (about 132-22 1), a native of Yuzhou City, Henan Province, was a calligrapher of the Wei Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms, and his official position was Cao Pishi. He is famous for his three volumes of Laughing Forest, and is called "the ancestor of Laughing Forest". The story of "one leaf is blind" comes from this.
Once upon a time, there was a man in the state of Chu who lived in poverty. He read Huai Nan Zi, saying that the mantis can't catch cicadas because a leaf can't be seen. He was very happy, so he ran to a tree and looked up, hoping to find the leaf that mantis used to cover himself when catching cicadas.
One day he found it, so he reached out and took it off. Unexpectedly, when I missed it, the leaf fell to the ground and mixed with other fallen leaves, which was beyond recognition. So he simply swept up all the fallen leaves and collected several buckets.
After taking it home, he took turns covering his eyes with leaves one by one and asked his wife, "Can you still see me?" At first, my wife kept saying, "I can see." Later, after a whole day of tossing, his wife was really tired and impatient, so she lied to him and said, "I can't see!" " "
Hearing this, the man secretly rejoiced and quickly held the selected leaves in his arms. Early the next morning, he came to some booths one by one, covered them with leaves and got something to eat. Small stall owners think he is a fool and don't care about him. This made him think that the stall owner could not see him and jumped for joy. Later, I came to a cloth shop, carried a piece of cloth and left. The shopkeeper reached for him and said, "How can you carry my cloth?" He was surprised and said, "Why, you can see me!" "
The government sent officials to escort him to the county government. When the county magistrate asked him, he described the whole story honestly. The magistrate laughed, decided that he was a fool, and let him go without punishment.
After the narrator finished the story, it made me think a lot. I always thought that "one leaf can't see Mount Tai" was actually just a philosophical generalization. I didn't expect such an interesting story, which made people think deeply after laughing.
In this world, there is no shortage of people who take advantage of small things. Such people are always self-centered and never consider the feelings of others. Take what belongs to him and try to take what doesn't belong to him. As long as he feels right, he won't care about anything. You are happy when you take advantage, but you are unhappy when you don't. Dealing with such people, they think that fairness is a loss. Even if you let him take advantage, he won't appreciate you. On the contrary, he thinks you owe him. In his view, he will always be the center of the universe, and others will revolve around him and let him satisfy everything.
Chu people, living in poverty, don't think hard, thinking about how to get something for nothing all day. Holding a leaf to cover your eyes, you think that no one in the world can see it, reaching for something that doesn't belong to you, smug. If you meet a rigid county magistrate, you may be jailed for several years, and it is too late to regret it.
For these people, it is best to avoid and communicate less. At present, their interests will never have a sense of justice, and the heart you give him may become his capital to betray you at any time. Such people tend to be narrow-minded and care about petty profits, and will not become talents. In the long run, due to fewer and fewer friends, they become more and more withdrawn, even with tears at home, and often end up depressed.
Greedy and cheap, big losses, the ancients did not bully!
