Hong Jiang and Zheng Banqiao
——Suffering a loss is the beginning of good fortune
Suffering a loss is a blessing
Those who are full will lose the opportunity; Gradual gain. If it harms oneself, it will benefit the other person. Externally, I will gain peace of human feelings, and internally, I will gain peace of mind. I will continue to be peaceful
and be at peace. Blessings are there,
——Zheng Banqiao
On the wall of the ancient cellar house at No. 1 Tangchong, Qingshiban Lane, Hongjiang Ancient Mall, we saw the famous calligraphy of Yangzhou in the Qing Dynasty This wall couplet was left by Zheng Banqiao.
Why is Zheng Banqiao's original calligraphy engraved on the high wall of the ancient cellar house in Hongjiang? It is said that at that time, there was a famous calligrapher Zheng Xuan in Hongjiang, who was a distant relative of Zheng Banqiao. In his early years, he also came to Hongjiang to do business with his hometown business team. When he came here, he couldn't help but sigh that there was such a prosperous shopping mall in the Wuxi barbarian land. On a whim, he moved his family to settle in Hongjiang. One time, Zheng Xuan was in the timber business and the goods were shipped to other places. The price of the goods plummeted. Even if he sold the goods, he would lose all his money. Zheng Xuan thought his end had come and was very depressed. When Zheng Banqiao learned about it, he gave it to Zheng Xuan. Zheng Xuan returned to Hongjiang with this piece of advice. Unexpectedly, on the way back, the price of lumber suddenly rose, and Zheng Xuan unexpectedly made a fortune. After returning home, Zheng Xuan quietly thought about Zheng Banqiao's inscription to him, and realized the philosophy of life from it, so he took Zheng Banqiao's
inscription as a family motto and carved it on the high wall of the cellar house to show to future generations. . Due to Zheng Banqiao's reputation, over time, Zheng Xuan's "Suffering is a blessing" carved on the wall of the cellar became a cultural landscape of the ancient shopping mall of Hongjiang.
People cannot be successful and rich forever. If you are satisfied with temporary wealth, you may miss better opportunities and experience unexpected losses and losses; people should not be depressed by temporary losses. Often, unexpected profits and bright spots will occur when you lose money or lose money. Not all money in the world can be earned by one person. Sometimes suffering a loss is also a blessing. As far as being a human being is concerned, one cannot be satisfied with the status quo, cannot be proud and complacent, and overflow when full. People should have a normal mentality. Sometimes suffering is the beginning of good fortune. (Liu Zhifeng Travel Times 6.12)
