extremes must be reversed: "Lu Chunqiu Bo Zhi": "Everything must be lacking, and extremes must be reversed." "Guanzi Circulation": "The extremes of things are contrary, and life is called circulation." First, the meaning of extremes must be reversed

Extremes: vertices; Anti: transform to the opposite side. When things develop to the extreme, they will change in the opposite direction. Second, the extremes of things will turn against the source

There are twelve words in the "Bo Zhi" in the Spring and Autumn Annals of Lu: "Everything will be lacking, extremes will turn against it, and gains will be lost." It's just that the extremes of things will be reversed, and it's too thorough to say that everything goes round and round, and the extremes will decline. Life is like this. Failure is easier than success. There is a long process from "no" to "tai", from "tai" to "no" in the blink of an eye. The so-called "whether it is too late": it takes a long way for people to go from failure to success, but success to failure is only one step away. Third, the philosophical origin of extremes meet

extremes meet is a very far-sighted concept in China's ancient philosophy. This philosophy may have originated from the Book of Changes, because there are great changes in the two hexagrams of Gankun in the Book of Changes, from the fifth to the sixth. It is a special concept. You should be wary of diviners, and any career will change. When it comes to extremes, you must pay special attention to it, and you can avoid unexpected disasters if you are psychologically prepared. Therefore, it is a famous saying of Laozi in the Tao Te Ching, which means that there are blessings in disasters, and there are also disasters in blessings.

Later generations often use this sentence to warn everyone. Don't think that you are blessed, but be careful of the disasters that will follow. Later, there was an idiom-"A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise", which was probably a story written by Laozi's saying that "misfortune is a blessing to lean on, and blessing is a blessing to hide" to warn people.
