Chongzhen’s death and the demise of the Ming Dynasty were ultimately at fault. Some people believe that Emperor Chongzhen’s weakness led to the complete decline of the Ming Dynasty. If Chongzhen could have been tougher, perhaps the Ming Dynasty would not be like this; others think that It was the fault of many officials of the Ming Dynasty that they lived in poverty, were corrupt, and had a lot of gold and silver in their homes, but they were unwilling to use any of it to defend themselves against the enemy. In fact, we can't tell who is right or wrong, because all of this is impossible to judge.

Gui Guzi from the pre-Qin period has long told us that there is no right and wrong in the world, it is just people’s inversion of the world. The so-called right and wrong are actually relative, and we must learn to be flexible. , if we can’t adapt, then this world of disputes will swallow us up sooner or later.

The art of verticality and horizontality, the distinction between black and white, are all jokes.

We often say that Guiguzi is the ancestor of the art of vertical and horizontal, so what is the art of vertical and horizontal? In my opinion, the art of vertical and horizontal is stronger than attacking the mind and looking for weaknesses, rather than blindly participating in politics. . Participating in politics is just a derivative of the art of vertical and horizontal. The real purpose of the art of vertical and horizontal is to show us what is black and white, because there is no right or wrong in time. Guiguzi's vertical and horizontal technique is just to distinguish them more intuitively.

Because in the minds of most people, the world is either right or wrong, except what is good for us is harmful. As everyone knows, all things in the world are in harmony with each other, yin and yang, flourishing and declining, and they are always changing each other. This is the reason why everything in the world changes. What is good for you today may become harmful tomorrow.

The position of Prime Minister Yan Song seems to be lofty, and everyone is respectful to him. However, little does he know that the higher he stands, the more painful it will be when he falls.

As Emperor Jiajing became dissatisfied with Yan Song, it didn’t matter if he was in the first rank or if he was once a favorite of Jiajing. In the end, he left the court in a dark way. Those who once flattered him just looked at him coldly. That’s all. No matter the past glory, people are like this, and so is the world.
