"I hope to hear about it." Yue: "Gu Ruoying knows." Liezi is very concerned about watching movies: if the shape is wasted, it will bend, and if the shape is straight, it will be right. However, it is useless to follow the shape instead of the shadow. It is said that it is the first thing to do.
Liezi studied under Hu Qiuzilin. Hu Qiuzilin said: "Only when you know how to remain modest and retreat can you support yourself physically and mentally."
Liezi said, "I want to hear from you about the truth of staying modest and retiring."
Hu Qiuzilin said: "Look back at your shadow and you will understand this truth."
Liezi looked back at his figure: the body bent and the shadow bent with it; When the body is straight, the shadow is straight. It can be seen that the shadow depends on the movement of the body, not the shadow; Embarrassment or success in life depends on the constraints of external things, not the subjective will of individuals. This is why only by being modest can we stay ahead in life.
