1. Original poem
"Born in sorrow, died in peace and happiness"
Shun was born in the countryside, and Fu Shuo was built in the edition. During this period, Jiao Ge was raised among the fish and salt, Guan Yiwu was raised among the scholars, Sun Shuao was raised in the sea, and Baili Xi was raised in the market.
Therefore, when Heaven is about to entrust this person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions. What it cannot do.
People can change after they have made mistakes; they are stuck in the mind and balance, and then they act; they are characterized by color and sound, and then they can express themselves. If you enter, you will be unable to control the people at home, if you leave, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will be permanently destroyed.
Then I know that I was born in sorrow and died in happiness.
2. Original meaning
Shun was selected from among the fields, Fu Yue was selected from among the bricklayers who built the wall, Jiao Ke was selected from among the fish and salt sellers, Guan Yiwu was promoted after being released from the prison officer, Sun Shuao was selected from the seclusion of the seaside, and Baili Xi was selected from the market. Therefore, when God assigns great responsibilities to such people, it must first cause pain to their hearts, fatigue their muscles and bones, make them endure hunger, make them suffer the pain of poverty, and make things difficult for them. The heart is frightened, which strengthens his character and adds talents that he does not possess.
People often make mistakes before they can correct them; (when they make mistakes) they are troubled in their hearts and can only rise up [or do something] after being blocked by thoughts; a haggard and withered look is reflected on their face, and they chant and sigh. The anger comes from the sound, and then it is understood. If there are not ministers who can uphold the law and the Magi who can help the monarch, and if there are no neighboring countries to rival it and no foreign disasters, a country will often perish. People survive and develop, but enjoying happiness makes people die from exhaustion.
3. Appreciation of the original text
Be born in sorrow and die in happiness is a famous saying from Mencius. The original text is this: "When heaven is about to entrust this man with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind and will, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions. Therefore, if his heart and mind are tempted, his endurance will benefit him. No. ...Then you will live in sorrow and die in happiness." ("Mencius Gaozi")
This means that if a person wants to achieve great things, he must go through many hardships and hardships. Only by going through hardships, going through ups and downs, and seeing the world, can we temper our will, grow our talents, and take on big responsibilities. If you grow up in a greenhouse and live comfortably, you will not be able to develop the ability to overcome difficulties and get rid of adversity. You will be helpless in the face of difficulties. When you encounter setbacks and adversity, you will become depressed and despairing, which often leads to death. So he came to the conclusion: "Be born in sorrow and die in happiness."
It is of special significance to keep in mind the truth that one is born in sorrow and dies in happiness, and to promote the spirit of conscious tempering; only by consciously enduring hardships and hardships can we shoulder the important task of welcoming the great national rejuvenation.
4. Creation background
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were wars and disputes. If a country wanted to remain invincible, it could not be content with the status quo and not think about making progress, but had to work hard to become stronger; If a person enjoys life comfortably and has no ability to overcome difficulties and get out of trouble, he will be helpless in the face of difficulties and will become depressed and despairing when encountering setbacks. It is like standing under a collapsed wall and his life is in danger at any time. Therefore, Mencius wrote "Born in sorrow, died in peace and happiness" to remind people that they should have a sense of sorrow at any time and be prepared for danger in times of peace, so that they can prosper forever; if they are content with the status quo, "There is wine today, and you will be drunk today. If you wake up tomorrow and think about it", you may be worried and trapped for the rest of your life.
