The sun sets in the west and water flows away from the east.
When things happen, the authorities need to make progress.
When people are proud, they turn back.
This is the opening poem of the third chapter of the Water Margin.
Summer solstice is cold, spring, summer, autumn and winter.
The sun rises and sets in the west, and the lost water flows east day and night.
To be fair, the first two sentences of this opening poem are a little ordinary, but they can give people a feeling that "time flies, time flies". This also laid a good foundation for telling the most critical two times in life.
When are the two most critical times in life?
One is "when something happens to an organ" and the other is "people should be proud".
Organs are critical moments. Encounter a word, which means that things come a little suddenly. In this case, most of it will not be a good thing, and nine times out of ten it will be a disaster.
In fact, it is.
The poem "When things go wrong, there will be progress" is about the progress of the nine dragons.
Speaking of Shijin, Nine Dragons, who lives in Shijia Village, Huayin County, has never done farm work since he was a child, and loves to shoot guns and hit sticks all day.
Please ask the master to teach martial arts. In Shi Taigong's original words:
I don't know how much I spent. ...
It can be seen that Shi Jin's family still has some roots in the local area. Even if it is not rich or expensive, it is also a rich family.
In front of Shijia Village, there is a Shaohua Mountain.
Recently, a gang of bandits appeared on the mountain, led by Zhu Wu, a military strategist, and two other leaders, Chen Da, a tigger, and Yang Chun, a white snake, specialized in robbing houses.
On this day, Shi Jin was in the village. Chen Da suddenly came to borrow the passage.
Shi Jin certainly disagreed.
In this way, the two men fought.
As a result, it doesn't matter Shi Jin not only captured Chen Da alive, but also sent Zhu Wu and Yang Chun to the door in a short time. But the two men didn't come to fight, but begged Shi Jin to arrest himself and give it to the government together with Chen Da.
Shi Jin was puzzled and asked why.
Zhu Wu said that the three of us swore to live and die together. Now that Chen Da has been caught by you, it seems that he will not live, so the two of us are here.
Shi Jin is also a hero. How can he stand this? So, not only didn't catch these two people, but also let that one go; I not only let go, but also got in touch with each other from now on.
It is a great sin to put this matter aside in the Song Dynasty.
The government can do nothing to deal with bandits on the mountain; But it's not the same when bandits go down the mountain and run to a flat-headed common people's house.
So on August 15th, Shi Jin and Zhu Wu were drinking and enjoying the moon in the back garden. Huayin county commandant, with 300 or 400 officers and men, surrounded Zhuangzi in one fell swoop, allowing Shi Jin to hand over people.
What should I do if this happens?
Do you want to deny it? Obviously unreliable; Really tie up Zhu Wu and hand them over? Afraid of being laughed at by heroes all over the world; Against the government? But the promise of our ancestors immediately disappeared.
If you want to say Shi Jin is a man! At this critical moment, he didn't hesitate, packed up some softness, set Zhuangzi on fire, and then led Zhu Wu Sanhe and a group of Zhuangke to kill the officers and men.
This is what the poem says, "When things happen, organs must progress." In other words, in the case of sudden disaster, you must make a decisive decision and make a choice as quickly as possible. Don't think there is a way to kill two birds with one stone. You have no room for change.
"Everything happens for a reason, and organs must make progress" refers to historical progress, and who does "people turn back when they are proud" refer to?
This man is monk Lu.
At that time, his name was Lu Da, and he worked as a prefect under the competition manager "xianggong" in Weizhou. In the Song Dynasty, this was a rank of six or seven, and now it is also a cadre at the regiment level.
Therefore, at this time, Luda is a time when life is proud.
But he doesn't know how to restrain himself.
This can be seen from the way he walked when he first appeared in Water Margin:
I saw a big man striding into the teahouse. ...
Is it a rampage?
Next, he went to a bar to drink with Jiu Wenlong Shijin and Tiger Warrior Jong Li, and then he met the incident of Kim's father and daughter.
I had the ability to reach out and take care of it. There's nothing wrong with that.
In fact, until the next day, he went to the store to let the Kim father and daughter go, and then stuck in front of the store for two hours, and nothing happened.
At this point, the Kim father and daughter, estimated to have been out of town.
At this time, he should stand up, pat his ass and leave as if nothing had happened. Of course, he got up and went out, but he went to find Zheng Tu.
Next, Zheng Tu was killed by three punches, and Lu Da also ended a person's life and fled outside.
Therefore, the author Shi Naian said in his poem, "When people are proud, they will turn back." . In other words, the more proud a person is, the more cautious he should be, the more measured he should be in dealing with people, the more he should know how to advance and retreat, and never act rashly.
Otherwise, you will become discouraged and depressed if you are not careful.
It is a pity that most of us forget our own discretion when we are proud; I forgot to choose when I was suddenly changed.
