Being kind and charitable, able to convince others

Allusion: Zhou Yu was a romantic general of the Wu Kingdom who was praised by many people in Chinese history. Suave, strategist, and a very talented person. But before the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu were established, Zhou Yu was not successful. Before going to the Kingdom of Wu, he was just an underappreciated subordinate of the warlord Yuan Shu. He was appointed by Yuan Shu to serve as a small chief of the nest for four times, and the largest appointment was just a small county magistrate.

One year, there was a famine where Zhou Yu was, and the harvest was very bad. It doesn't matter if the harvest is not good, but what's even worse is that they have lost a lot of food in successive years of war. The food problem is becoming increasingly serious. The people in the area under Zhou Yu's jurisdiction had no food to eat, so they ate bark and grass roots. Many people starved to death, and the army was so hungry that it lost its combat effectiveness. As a parent official, Zhou Yu was so anxious when he saw this tragic situation that he didn't know what to do.

When Zhou Yu was worried about food, he heard others say that there was a philanthropic rich man Lu Su nearby, and his family had always been wealthy. Zhou Yu thought that Bi had hoarded a lot of food, so he might as well ask him to borrow it. < /p>

When Lu Su saw Zhou Yufeng's handsome appearance, he was obviously a talented man who would become a great person in the future. He didn't care that Zhou Yu was just a small nest leader now, and laughed loudly and said, "This is just a trivial matter. I promise." After saying that, Lu Su personally took Zhou Yu to check the granary. There were two granaries stored by Lu Su's family, each with three thousand yuan. Lu Su said happily: "Don't mention whether to borrow or not, I will take one of them. I'll give it to you in one warehouse." Zhou Yu and his men were stunned when they heard how generous he was. You know, in a year of famine, food is life! Zhou Yu was deeply moved by Lu Su's words and deeds, and the two immediately made friends.

The best good is like water, which carries great virtues:

"The best good is like water" comes from Chapter 8 of Laozi's Tao Te Ching: "The best good is like water. Water is good for all things and does not fight for it. It is disliked by everyone, so it is almost road". The key word "Tao" in this sentence is the core of Laozi's philosophy and is the natural law followed by all things in the world. The "ji" in "Jiyu Tao" means "very close, achieved, consistent", which can be understood as " Meet and comply with the laws of nature." And "more than the Tao" echoes the previous "supreme good" (the most beautiful character). The meaning of the whole sentence is: the most beautiful character and noble sentiment should be like water. Water nourishes all things and benefits all things, but it has nothing to do with the world. Water is always in a place that people don't want to be, so it is in a beautiful state and conforms to the laws of nature.

The phrase "having great virtues to carry things" comes from the "Book of Changes". The original text is: "When the sky moves vigorously, a gentleman will strive to strengthen himself. The terrain is weak, and a gentleman will carry things with great virtues." These two sentences echo each other and illustrate the corresponding relationship between talent and virtue: Tian Xingjian (the sky is high above, influencing the world with powerful and irresistible operating laws), and a gentleman strives for self-improvement (talented people should constantly pursue, Be aggressive and strengthen yourself).

This sentence explains that a strong person should have extraordinary ability to help the world through continuous efforts. After we understood this sentence, we were really amazed that the Chinese elite King Wen of Zhou was imprisoned for seven years, but he could actually shout out the heroic words in the "Book of Changes" that "Heaven is moving vigorously, and a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement." Bold words that echo through the ages.

Adhering to the ambition of his father, the heroic and heroic King Wu of Zhou later led tens of thousands of unstoppable troops. During the "Battle of Muye", he vowed to shout "Call Ergo, Bilgan, and Li Ermao" ( Raise your arms, line up your shields, and raise your spears)! It’s not strange to defeat King Zhou’s hundreds of thousands of merchant troops! After understanding the meaning of the previous sentence, it is easier to understand the latter sentence: "The terrain is good, and a gentleman carries his wealth with kindness."

Yi Ci said: "Kun is thick and loaded with things, and virtue has no boundaries." It means: The earth carries all things with its breadth and depth, so it can benefit all things with good conduct and be all-inclusive. The sentence "A gentleman carries his wealth with kindness" is closely related to the previous sentence, using the breadth and thickness of the earth to metaphor a person's ambition. It means that a gentleman should be like the earth, carrying all things, tolerating all things, nourishing all things, and benefiting all things with his broad and deep good character.

This sentence corresponds to "Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement." It warns a gentleman not only to have unique talents for helping the world, but also to have noble moral character and a spirit of dedication to benefit all people. That is to say, it emphasizes having both talent and virtue, and having both ability and political integrity. It can be seen that "the sky moves vigorously, and gentlemen strive for self-improvement" reflects the tenacious, enterprising and vigorous spirit of the Chinese nation; "the terrain is uneven, gentlemen carry things with great virtue" demonstrates the noble character of the Chinese nation's broad-mindedness and selfless dedication.
