nine horses
Zhuo Mao, generous and respectful, loves the old village, and although he is different from Mao, he loves Yan Yan. Taste, someone recognized his horse. Mao knows its fallacy, hey, solve it. Another day, the owner of the horse won't get the dead, but will send the horse to thank him. It's not easy to argue like this.
translation
Zhuo Mao is a kind and generous man, respectful and polite, and friendly to his hometown people, so the villagers get along very well with him even if he is not in the same industry. Once Zhuo Mao went out, a man identified the horse that Zhuo Mao was riding as his. Zhuomao knew clearly in his heart that the man had made a mistake, but he still gave his horse to that man. Later, the man found his lost horse from another place, so he returned Zhuomao's horse to him and apologized. Zhuo Mao is so unwilling to argue with others.
Comment
Maybe the person who claimed the horse that Zhuo Mao rode was not intentional, but really made a mistake at that time, but no matter what happened, Zhuo Mao did not argue with that person, but gave his horse to that person. Zhuo Mao's magnanimity is really admirable.
The biggest feeling in life is the feeling of gain and loss, especially when you lose what you cherished in the past, you will have the deep feeling that it was difficult to cross the sea. In fact, gain or loss is only a part of the development and change of the whole world, just as everyone will go from birth to death, and all good things must come to an end. These are the natural laws of human society. Only by enduring the lost unhappiness can we welcome tomorrow's new life with a positive and optimistic attitude.
in some cases, if you care too much, you will lose too much, but you will give up everything. When mistakes are in front of us and lessons are found quickly, we should settle this matter quickly. Too much care will make us fall into depression about the past, which will curb our confidence and even affect our judgment. Therefore, bearing losses is also a sign of confidence. At a deeper level, the loss actually includes openness and tolerance, but also adds reason and self-restraint. Openness in the face of losses is a kind of self-confidence based on personal ability, but not everyone has this kind of self-confidence.
Don't care about temporary gains and losses when explaining typical examples
During the Warring States Period, there was an old man named Sai Weng. He kept many horses, and one day one of them suddenly got lost. When the neighbors heard this, they all came to comfort him. Don't worry too much. When he is old, pay more attention to his health. When Sai Weng saw someone comforting him, he smiled and said, "Losing a horse is not a big loss, and maybe it will bring good fortune."
The neighbors were amused at what Sai Weng said. It's obviously a bad thing to lose the horse, but he thinks it may be a good thing, obviously it's just self-consolation. But after a few days, the lost horse not only went home automatically, but also brought back a fine horse.
When the neighbor heard that the horse came back by himself, he admired Sai Weng's foresight and congratulated him, saying, "You are still far-sighted. Not only did you not lose the horse, but you also brought back a good horse. What a blessing."
Sai Weng listened to his neighbor's congratulations, but he didn't look happy at all. He said anxiously, "Getting a good horse for nothing may not be a blessing, but it may cause some trouble."
The neighbors think that his posturing is purely the cunning of the elderly. I was obviously happy, but I didn't mean to say it.
Sai Weng has an only son who likes riding horses very much. He found that the horse he had brought back was a good horse, with long hooves, loud neighing, and fierce and handsome. He rides a horse every day, and he is proud of himself.
One day, he was too happy. He hit the horse and galloped, stumbled, fell off his horse and broke his leg. When the neighbors heard about it, they came to offer their condolences.
sai Weng said, "Nothing. It may be a blessing to save your life after breaking your leg." Neighbors think he's talking nonsense again. They can't figure out what good fortune a broken leg will bring.
Soon, Xiongnu soldiers invaded on a large scale, and young people were drafted into the army. Sai Weng's son could not join the army because he broke his leg. All the young men who joined the army died in battle, but only Sai Weng's son saved his life.
This story has been passed down from generation to generation and gradually condensed into an idiom: "A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise." It shows that the good and bad things in the world are not absolute. Under certain conditions, bad things can lead to good results, and good things may also lead to bad results.
There was a famous calligrapher Zheng Xuan in Hongjiang in Qing Dynasty. He was a distant relative of Zheng Banqiao. In his early years, he also came to Hongjiang to do business with the business team in his hometown. When he came here, he could not help but sigh that there was such a bustling shopping mall in Wuxi. On a whim, he moved his family to Hongjiang to settle down. Once Zheng Xuan was engaged in timber business, and the goods were transported to other places, and the price of the goods plummeted. Even if he sold it, he lost all his money. Zheng Xuan thought it was the end of himself and was very depressed. When Zheng Banqiao learned this, he gave Zheng Xuan a picture of encouragement: "It is a blessing to suffer". Zheng Xuan returned to Hongjiang with this message of encouragement. Unexpectedly, on the way back, the price of wood suddenly rose, and Zheng Xuan unexpectedly made a fortune. After returning home, Zheng Xuan quietly thought about the inscription given to him by Zheng Banqiao, and realized the philosophy of life from it, so he took Zheng Banqiao's inscription as a family motto and carved it on the wall to show future generations. Because of Zheng Banqiao's reputation, over time, Zheng Xuan's "A loss is a blessing" carved on the wall has become a humanistic landscape of Hongjiang ancient shopping mall.
