Extended data:
In the early Warring States period, Sun Bin of Qi and Pang Juan studied the art of war together under Guiguzi's door. Pang Juan thought he had learned enough, so he went down the mountain to seek fame. Sun Bin continued to stay with the teacher. Guiguzi saw that he was simple and diligent, so he taught him the art of war.
Pang Juan was highly regarded in Wei. I heard that Pang Juan's classmate Sun Bin was very talented, so I asked Pang Juan to write and invite Sun Bin to Wei. Sun Bin talked about the art of war in front of Wei Huiwang, which made Pang Juan very jealous. Pang Juan spoke ill of Sun Bin in front of Wei Huiwang, but Wei Huiwang believed him and ordered someone to dig Sun Bin's kneecap. Sun Bin, who was flogged, was renamed Sun Bin.
Sun Bin was very moved by Pang Juan's apparent attentions to Sun Bin. Sun Bin didn't know that Pang Juan was the culprit, and promised Pang Juan to write Sun Tzu's Art of War on the wooden slips. Sun Bin's experience aroused the sympathy of a boy sent by Pang Juan to serve Sun Bin. The boy told the whole truth, and Sun Bin suddenly realized.
In order to get away, Sun Bin began to play the fool. He cried and laughed for a while, and his speech was upside down and incoherent. Pang Juan suspected that he was playing dumb and threw him into the cesspit. Sun Bin grabbed the shit and ate it. Pang Juan believed that Sun Bin was really crazy.
Later, Chunyu Kun, a debater, was sent to Wei to rescue Sun Bin, and Sun Bin was highly valued. Sun Bin led the troops to attack Wei and cut the stove to destroy Wei Jun. Pang Juan committed suicide after the defeat.
This idiom talks about the philosophy of "retreat for progress" from the perspective of military science. Laozi used "subject" and "object" to compare the invaders and victims in the war. The main body is the aggressor, and it is the party that takes the initiative to attack. The guest is the aggressor, not the passive party. "Inaction", like "inaction", is one of the core contents of Laozi's Taoist philosophy.
Laozi believes that war should be based on defense and win by defense, which shows Laozi's thought of opposing war and the principle of retreat and obedience in Laozi's philosophy of life. This chapter is about the truth that the sorrowful soldier will win and the arrogant soldier will fail, which has become a military saying of military strategists throughout the ages.
The "mourners" described by Laozi are not vulnerable, but those who attach great importance to the enemy and at the same time put on a low profile in front of the enemy, in order to make the enemy look down on us and thus generate pride. The low profile here is just a means, not an end.
In life, keeping a low profile can make you feel good and don't worry about trifles; In my career, keeping a low profile helps me make fewer enemies and achieve further development. Keeping a low profile is like shooting an arrow with a bow. Taking a small step back when pulling the bow is to pave the way for high-speed progress.
