Horse idiom story 3:
The old pioneer lost his horse-a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.
A blessing in disguise is a fable from Huai Nan Zi Ren Xun. This shows Laozi's view that "misfortune is a blessing, and happiness is a blessing".
There is a saying in Ban Gu's "Tongyou Fu" in the Eastern Han Dynasty that "Bei Zuo knows his leaning", which shows his meaning. There lived an old man near the frontier fortress. Old people are proficient in numerology and are good at predicting the past and the future. Once, an old man's horse broke free for no reason (probably the mare was in heat) and ran to the place where the Hu people lived. Neighbors came to comfort him, and he knew it well and said calmly, "Isn't this a blessing?" A few months later, the lost horse suddenly went home again, with a good horse of the conference semifinals. The neighbors all came to congratulate his family when they heard about it. The old man was indifferent and said calmly, "Isn't such a thing a disaster?" The old man's livestock has raised many good horses, and his son is martial and likes riding horses. One day, his son rode a fierce horse to practice riding and shooting in the wild. The fierce horse lost control, threw his son heavily on his back and broke his thigh, which became a lifelong disability. When the neighbors heard about it, they came to offer their condolences. The old man said calmly, "Isn't this a blessing?" Another year passed, and the conference semifinals invaded the border and entered the fortress. All the able-bodied men in the four townships and eight neighbors were drafted into the army and took up arms to participate in the war. There are countless casualties. Residents near the frontier fortress, with ten rooms and nine vacant rooms, were all killed in the war. Only the old man's son didn't go to war because of his lame disability. Therefore, the father and son can live and spend the rest of their lives together. Therefore, blessings can be turned into disasters, and disasters can also be turned into blessings. This change is unfathomable and no one can predict it.
Song Weitai's "Dong Xuanlu Lost Horse and Broken Snake": "Ceng Bu is an envoy of three departments, and it is easy to lose the city. When Lu Gong left Cambodia, he said, "A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. Today's grief is insufficient.". ? "Lu You's poem Chang 'an Road says:" It is a dream for a judge to divide the deer, but a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. "Later, it developed into" a blessing in disguise, how to know it is not a blessing "and" a blessing in disguise, how to know it is not a curse ",which frequently appeared in literary works or daily spoken language, or used to illustrate the impermanence of things, or to metaphor that both fortunes can be made and bad things can be turned into good things. Everything is constantly developing and changing. Good things and bad things, the opposite sides of this contradiction, are transformed into their own opposite directions under certain conditions.
