Famous quotes by the historian Zhu Zaiyu

1. Running around every day is just for hunger, so that you have food and clothes. I put the silk on my body, but when I raised my head, I thought the house was too low. He builds tall buildings and mansions, but he has a beautiful wife in front of his bed. I have married all my lovely wives and beautiful concubines, but I worry that there is no horse to ride in front of my door. Use your money to buy a horse with a high head, and follow the horse less often. The family hired dozens of people, and they were bullied even though they had money but no power. When Yi Quanquan reached the county magistrate's position, he said that he was a junior official with low power and low status. Once you reach the senior position in the cabinet, you will think about ascending to the throne every day. One day, I was sitting in the south facing the world, and I thought that gods would come to play chess. Dong Bin played chess with him and asked where the ladder to heaven was. Before the ladder to the sky was finished, the devil came to urge me. If this person hadn't reached his end, it would still be too low to climb up the ladder to heaven! ——Zhu Zaiyu, "Sheep on the Hillside·Ten Insufficiencies"

2. People in the world open their eyes and look at heroes. Qian is a hero. With money, you can take advantage of everything, but without him, it would be difficult to move even an inch. The kidnapper is rich and walks crookedly. The mute is rich and makes beautiful gestures. Nowadays, people respect money. Even if Kuai Wentong has no money, he can't compete with Tongguan. To tell the truth, people travel around the world for copper coins. To tell the truth, they ask for a piece of paper from others, and they follow behind and wipe out the front. ——Zhu Zaiyu "Sheep on the Hillside - Money Makes a Hero"

3. Fame is high and profit is high, but wealth lasts only a century. If you drink tea and drink together, no one will be happy for a thousand days. The world is in a hot and cold state, and it is difficult to protect the day or night. Avoid making trouble in front of others, afraid of talking down. May your heart be at peace and your belly full, and may you be happy and free from greed and righteousness. Three points of justice, look to the sky and the heavenly principles to shine through. Cultivate the mind and cultivate the mind, and the mind will be firmly tied. Forgive others as long as you tolerate them. Fame and fortune are wasted, but money is shared. Why study extensively and discuss in vain is a waste of body and mind. Everything is a mess, there are no centuries-old people in the world, and all the hard work is in vain. Keep your head down and pretend to be stupid, why do you look handsome in front of others? Today, the two words of the Holy Word are chosen by people. After thinking about it, who praises whom? Everything is in vain, and people only see the light of day. At the end, he let out a long sigh and understood the mechanism. Living with common clothes covering one's body and home-cooked meals, peace and happiness are worth a thousand dollars. Mind your own business, and keep me poor and humble. ——Zhu Zaiyu, "Man Jiang Hong"

4. If you know that it is enough, what will you do if you are greedy for money without any righteousness? Life in this world is just like this, eight words, created by heaven. Help the poor, rescue those who are in need, do good deeds, and stop doing evil. If you are afraid of being known, stop doing it, but if you want people to respect you, do it more. When meeting people in the world, it is convenient to travel. The best is to build temples and pagodas. Listen to us, we are far away from our children and grandchildren, but close at home. Listen to us, the laws of nature are cyclical and retribution is not bad. ——Zhu Zaiyu, "Sheep on the Hillside - Walking Conveniently"

5. Climbing when you fall and expecting others to help you are all false. The words spoken by our dearest relatives are words from across the mountain. They coax us with false affection, treat us with pretense, and still look at us with cold eyes. Stop boasting now. After ten years of wealth, whose family is it? Crossing the sea is difficult, but difficult yet easy; asking for help is difficult, but getting to the right place is difficult. Kinship and flesh and blood are hidden deep and far away, and close friends are severed from each other. When they met, Xiang turned his head and lowered his head. When he asked, his face changed and he spoke late. I didn't speak here, but he avoided me in every possible way. The flowers on the brocade rush to replenish the cake first, but who is willing to send the charcoal in the snow? Listen! When you fall, you get up by yourself, and you rely on others to help you up. ——Zhu Zaiyu, "Huang Ying'er - It's Difficult to Ask for Help"

6. Advise people to stop seeking relatives if they don't have money. If they do, they will lose their lives. Generally speaking, it is human nature, and the master has two minds. No matter how old or young you are, you will be respected if you are neatly dressed. I'm afraid you won't believe me. If you look at it at the banquet, drink to the rich first! ——Zhu Zaiyu's "Sighing on People and Respecting the Rich" Famous Quotes by Writer Liu Yiqing
