Heaven rewards diligence, and diligence can make up for it. Real rewards are not weak. Human nature rewards virtue, and virtue can make up for widowhood.
The idiom "Heaven rewards diligence" means that God will reward diligent people according to everyone's efforts. More hard work, more harvest, as long as you make enough efforts, even if you can't see the direct benefits now, you will definitely get corresponding returns in the future. Jin Hantang's painting "Heaven rewards diligence" is very imposing.
The hexagrams in the Book of Changes: "Heaven is healthy, and gentlemen are constantly striving for self-improvement; The terrain is Kun, and the gentleman carries things with morality. " Heaven (that is, nature) is just strong, accordingly, a gentleman should be resolute and hardworking; The potential of the earth is thick and slippery, and the gentleman is tolerant. In ancient China, people thought that heaven and earth were the largest and contained everything. The understanding of heaven and earth is: the sky is above and the earth is below; The sky is yang and the earth is yin; The sky is gold and the earth is earth; Strong and soft. It is believed that heaven and earth combine to create everything, and the four seasons are different. Without heaven and earth, there would be nothing. Heaven and earth are the universe, and the universe is heaven and earth. This is China's simple materialistic cosmology in ancient times, and it is also China's cosmology. Therefore, in the gossip, the dry hexagrams are the first, and the Kun hexagrams are the second; Dry on the top, Kun is next; North dry, South Kun. It's Gao Xingjian. It is thick and heavy. Then the philosophy of life is further extended from the explanatory attributes of the two hexagrams (that is, heaven and earth), that is, life should be as tall, resolute and independent as the sky, as thick, broad and virtuous as the earth.
"Yi" says that "a gentleman is modest and restrained, and eventually ends up."
As far as Shangshu is concerned, there is a saying that "Heaven rewards diligence". Han Yu once wrote an inscription "Heaven rewards diligence" to encourage others.
The word "Tian" first appeared in Shangshu, and it appeared in many pre-Qin books, mainly referring to "the law of nature", and it was also explained in Ci Hai (or see "Tian" in Ci Yuan).
"Heaven rewards diligence" is condensed from "Heaven inspires me to succeed, and Heaven only inspires me with diligence" in the Book of Heaven. Similar examples include "building a harmonious society" and so on. The original text is as follows:
Shu Dawei: God helps me succeed, and I dare not spare Wang Ning's life.
Han Kong Anguo said: Shun and Shen Ye said that success lies in the careful care of my Zhou family. I dare not do anything planned by King Wen, that is, peace.
Tang Lu Dai Mingshuo: The secret of cymbals.
Qing Qian Daxin says: Heaven helps me to succeed, teaches me to be cautious, and explains: Heaven helps me to succeed in Zhou family. Kong: Zhong, Shen. Textual research on Ben Yun: Yi and Shen Ye. As the word cymbal is used as a symbol, it is not suitable for reproduction. According to the cloud, God helped me succeed. Then we know that this classic is the result of hard work, the glyphs are related, and later generations made mistakes, but Confucius was not wrong. According to the classics: diligence, interpretation is diligence, and this cloud says: caution. Then you can be diligent. In the clouds: Heaven is only useful for our people. This is hard work.
There is a cloud in the sky: Heaven can only help our people with diligence, if there is disease.
