Famous aphorisms about conceit
From Zhouyi Feng: "When the water is full, it will overflow, and when the moon is full, it will lose money; Complacency leads to failure, and complacency leads to stupidity. " It is easy to have an eclipse when the moon is full, and the water will overflow when it is full. If you think you are satisfied, you have failed. Blow your own horn will be boring. Metaphor means that things will decline at their peak. This means that optimism is good, but being too optimistic means conceit, which may be counterproductive.

"When the moon is full, it will be lost, when the water is full, it will overflow, and when people are full, they will be arrogant." This is a metaphor for three natural phenomena and a wise saying left by our ancestors.

Complacency leads to failure, and complacency leads to stupidity. Don't be too easy to satisfy the status quo, take a long-term view and don't always praise yourself. It is easy to immerse yourself in your own world, which is not conducive to your own development.

Historical allusion

Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty loved to play, but hated the victories of others. Even though Li, the eunuch in charge of her body, played with her, she pretended to fight with her. During that time, she deliberately exposed a flaw and let Galeries Lafayette win to ensure that her head was in the game. However, some new eunuchs do not understand this fact. They defeated Empress Dowager Cixi and killed her.

Once, a teenage eunuch was ordered to play chess with the Queen Mother. At first, the little eunuch was a little timid, but later he turned to play chess. He ate a big piece of chess that the queen mother was thinking about state affairs, clapped her hands and said, "You are all finished!" " "Cixi flew into a rage and had the little eunuch killed.

If the little eunuch knows that the water is full, it will overflow; When the moon is round, it will definitely be missing. When it is proud, disappointment will come soon. Truth will not be lost in vain.
