The idioms from the Book of Changes are as follows:

1. Continuous self-improvement: Fake arrogance is not a true gentleman

Original text: "Heaven is moving vigorously, and a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement." Source: "Qian Gua·Xiang Ci"

Interpretation: Only when the way of heaven is strong and strong can the sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers run continuously. Heaven and man correspond to each other, and a gentleman must constantly strive to improve himself so that he has the ability to benefit society and serve everyone. A gentleman is by no means poor, gentle or fake. A gentleman strives to create wealth, is not trapped by material desires, and can selflessly give back to society. This is a true gentleman!

2. There are regrets when a dragon is strong: Things will turn to the extreme, and deal with it calmly

Original text: "There are regrets when a dragon is strong, and it will not last long." Source: "Qian Gua Shangjiu·Xiang Ci"

Interpretation: Qian Gua ninety-five is already "flying dragon in the sky". If you go further, you will definitely regret it. Everything in the world goes through the process of birth, development, prosperity, decline, and destruction. This is a natural principle and cannot be changed by human beings. The right way is to adapt to the current situation and retreat bravely from the rapids! < /p>

Interpretation: In addition to constantly striving for self-improvement like the sky, a gentleman should also be as open-minded and tolerant of all things as the earth. This requires a gentleman to continuously improve his virtue, temper his character, and enlarge his life pattern. "Be strict with oneself and be lenient towards others", "If you want to stand up for yourself, stand up for others, and if you want to stand up for yourself, stand up for others", etc., are all concrete manifestations of being virtuous.

4. Accumulating evil will lead to disaster: Don’t commit evil just because it is small

Original text: “A house that accumulates good deeds will be blessed; a home that accumulates bad deeds will have disaster.” Source : "Kun Gua·Wenyan"

Interpretation: People who often do good things will have many blessings; people who often do evil things will have many disasters. If no matter how small a mistake is, if it is not corrected in time, over time, it will turn into a big mistake and cause serious losses. Before Liu Bei's death, he told Adou, "Don't do evil things because they are small, and don't neglect doing good things because they are small things." This can be called the wisest principle in life, but unfortunately there are very few people who can do this.

5. Hiding the weapon in the body: if it does not make a sound, it will be a blockbuster

Original text: "A gentleman hides the weapon in the body, waiting for the time to move." Source: "Book of Changes·Xici" "

Interpretation: There is a very vivid saying in "Cai Gen Tan": "The eagle stands as if it is sleeping, and the tiger moves as if it is sick." The same is true for a gentleman. When the situation is unfavorable and the opportunity has not arrived, he must learn to Be patient, even if you are in trouble, you must continue to sharpen your ability and will. Once the time is right, you can move forward. A gentleman must wait for the opportunity to "dazzle his sword"! < /p>

Interpretation: The level of achievement in life depends on whether you can seize opportunities. Good opportunities often disappear quickly, so a gentleman must be aware of the subtleties and accurately foresee the direction of development of things. Once an opportunity comes, act quickly and don't miss it.

After "hiding the weapon in the body" and being able to "take action when the opportunity arises", why worry about failing to achieve great things?
