Dr. Liang, who had the Song Dynasty, tasted as a border county magistrate and was bordered by Chu. The pavilion on the edge of the beam and the pavilion on the edge of Chu both grow melons, each with its own number. The pavilion people on the edge of the beam, pour their melons with a few efforts, and the melons are beautiful. The Chu people watered their melons sparingly, and the melons were evil. Chu Ling angered his pavilion melon for its beauty. Chu Ting's heart hates Liang Ting's sage, and because he steals Liang Ting's melon at night, everyone dies. Liang Ting felt that he wanted to steal the melon from Chu Ting because he invited his commandant, and the commandant invited Song. He said, "Evil! What is it? There is a way to blame, and people are evil, so what is wrong? If I teach my son, I will send people to visit him every evening, and I will be good at watering his melons at night for Chu Ting. Don't let him know. " So Liang Ting steals the melon of Chu Ting every night. Chu Ting's trip to melons is all about irrigation. Melons are beautiful every day, and Chu Ting's strange observation is what Liang Ting did. Chu Ling was greatly pleased to hear it, because he heard it from the king of Chu, who was ashamed of it, and told the officials, "Is he guilty of scratching the melon slightly?" The yin of this beam is also allowed. " It is thanks to the heavy money, but please give it to Liang Wang. When Chu Wang said that Liang Wang thought it was a letter, so the friendship between Liang and Chu began in the Song Dynasty. The saying goes, "Turning defeat into success is a blessing because of disaster." Lao Tzu said, "Good for evil." This is also called. Madam is not good, Hu Zu is effective!

[translation]

There was a doctor named Song Jiu in Liang State, who once served as a county magistrate of a border county, which was adjacent to Chu State. Both the border barracks of Liang State and the border barracks of Chu State grow melons in their own ways. The people guarding the border of Liang worked hard and often watered their Gua Tian, so the melons grew well. Chu soldiers are lazy and seldom water their melons, so melons don't grow well. The magistrate of the State of Chu angered the soldiers of the State of Chu for not planting melons well because Liang's melons were good. Chu soldiers were jealous that Liang soldiers were better than themselves, so they secretly turned over their melons at night, so melons always died. Liang soldiers found out about it, so they asked the county commandant, and they also wanted to secretly go to revenge and turn Gua Tian of Chuying. The county commandant asked Song for instructions on this matter, and Song said, "Alas! How can this work? Hatred is the root cause of trouble. Why are you so narrow-minded when others do mischief? If you want me to teach you the way, you must send someone over every night to secretly water their melon garden for the Chu barracks at night, and don't let them know. " So the soldiers of Liang secretly watered the melon garden of Chu soldiers every night. Chu soldiers visited the melon garden in the morning and found that they had all been watered, and the melons grew better day by day. Chu soldiers were surprised, so they paid attention to it and realized that it was Liang soldiers. The county magistrate of Chu was very happy to hear about it, so he reported it to the king of Chu in detail. After listening to it, the king of Chu was sad and ashamed, and regarded it as his own heart disease. So he told the official in charge, "Investigate those who make trouble in Gua Tian. Do they have other sins?"? This is the Liang people secretly blaming us. " So he took out a generous gift, apologized to Song, and asked to make friends with Liang Wang. King Chu often praised King Liang and thought that he could keep his word. Therefore, the friendly relations between Liang and Chu began in the Song Dynasty. As the old saying goes, "Turn failure into success and disaster into happiness." Laozi said, "repay the enmity of others with kindness." That is to say, this kind of thing. Others have done something wrong, where is it worth emulating!

Comment:

This article tells a famous story about Dr. Liang and Song who used "the benefit of watering melons" to solve the grievances of Liang and Chu border pavilions. Song repaid the grievances with good deeds, and did not cause disputes because of trivial matters. The characters who were tolerant were very distinct. Using concrete examples to write a person's mind and quality is very prominent. As the origin of the idiom "watering the melon", the truth contained in this article also has a strong enlightening effect today: in dealing with interpersonal relations and various social relations, we should be tolerant and generous in everything, pay attention to the overall situation, and the practice of "taking a step back to broaden the horizon" is by no means cowardice, but taking a step back to advance, so as to resolve the possibility of conflicts, thus transforming contradictions and opposing tensions into a powerful peaceful situation between the two sides. 3. What are the ancient texts about "preparing for danger in times of peace"

Original text: The courtiers said: "Governing the country is like treating a disease. Although the disease is cured, it is still appropriate to take care of it. If you indulge yourself and get sick again, you can't save it. Today, China is blessed with peace, and all four barbarians are in obedience, as we have hoped since ancient times. However, I am cautious every day, but I am afraid of it, so I want to count on Wen Qing's generation to fight. "

If you let yourself loose immediately, once the old disease recurs, there is no way to save it. Now the country is fortunate to have peace and tranquility, and the ethnic minorities in all directions obey it. This is really rare since ancient times, but I am getting more and more careful every day, only afraid that this situation will not last long, so I hope to hear your arguments many times. "

Wei Zhi replied, "I don't think it's worth celebrating that domestic and foreign countries have been governed and peaceful, but I'm glad that your majesty is prepared for danger in times of peace."

The minister said, "Governing a country is like treating a disease. Although it recovers, it is better to take care of it.
