The meaning of fullness is as follows:
1. From "Book of Changes·Feng": "When the sun is in the middle, it will be empty, and when the moon is full, it will be eclipsed." When the water is full, it will overflow, and when the moon is full, it will overflow. The full sentence of "Man Ze Kui" should have been revised by later generations. If the water is full, it will overflow; if the moon is full, it will suffer losses; if you are complacent, you will be defeated; if you are conceited, you will be foolish.
2. This means that optimism is good, but being too optimistic is conceited and arrogant, which may be counterproductive. "When the moon is full, it will be waning; when the water is full, it will overflow; when the people are full, they will be arrogant." It talks about three natural phenomena and is a metaphor for the way people behave in the world. It is also a wise saying left by our ancestors. Most successful people leave room for words, act appropriately, and keep distance when making friends. This is a kind of philosophical thinking, and the key is to grasp a certain degree.
Only those who are neutral, respectful, and open-minded can embrace all rivers, embrace everything, and, over time, continue to move towards the ideal kingdom of the soul. The Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty loved to play Go. She was not very good at chess but resented others beating her. Even when Li Lianying, the personal eunuch in charge, played against her, she pretended to have a fierce battle with her. During this period, she deliberately exposed a flaw so that Lafayette could win to ensure that she would win. superior.
However, some young eunuchs who had just arrived did not understand this truth and beat the Empress Dowager Cixi to pieces. They offended Cixi and were punished, and even lost her life. Once, a teenage eunuch was ordered to play chess with the Queen Mother.
3. The little eunuch was a little timid at first, but as he continued to play, his mind was completely transferred to the chess game. He quickly took a large piece of the Queen Mother's chess piece, which was thinking about state affairs, and even clapped her hands and applauded: "This is your piece." It's all over!" Upon hearing this, Cixi flew into a rage and ordered someone to kill the young eunuch. If the little eunuch understood the principle of "water overflows, full moon loses; complacency leads to failure, self-respect leads to foolishness", he would not have lost his life in vain.
Four. What we talk about here are three natural phenomena, and they are also metaphors for people’s attitude in dealing with the world. They are also the wise sayings left by our ancestors. Most successful people leave room for words, act appropriately, and keep distance when making friends. This is a kind of philosophical thinking, and the key is to grasp a certain degree. Only those who are moderate, respectful and humble can be open to all rivers, embrace everything and, over time, continue to move towards the ideal kingdom of the soul.
