Broad-minded, broad-minded, things will be successful and unsuccessful.
I have had fun and experienced difficulties.
Fate forced me to obey, but I was very patient at home.
The foundation of harmonious life, strong and troublesome children,
Don't argue and don't be jealous. There is no harm in losing me.
A blunt axe can easily split the gravel, but a sharp knife can hardly split the water.
How many heroes have there been through the ages?
-The Hundred Words Proverbs of Emperor Taizong
I can't believe that this 100-word motto was written by Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin. At first reading, I feel that the author seems to be a modest gentleman with an open mind; Read it again, as if it were a generation of Ming Di's warning and exhortation to civil and military officials; After the third reading, just like the ancient sages' exhortation to the whole world, it is full of profound philosophy of self-cultivation and governing the country.
Proverbs are truth. Reading attentively will certainly benefit us a lot.
