Heaven (that is, nature) is just strong, accordingly, a gentleman should be resolute and hardworking; The potential of the earth is thick and slippery, and the gentleman is tolerant.
In ancient China, people thought that heaven and earth were the largest, and it contained everything. The understanding of heaven and earth is: the sky is above and the earth is below; The sky is yang and the earth is yin; The sky is gold and the earth is earth; Strong and soft. It is believed that heaven and earth combine to create everything, and the four seasons are different. Without heaven and earth, there would be nothing. Heaven and earth are the universe, and the universe is heaven and earth.
This is China's simple materialistic cosmology in ancient times, and it is also China's cosmology. Therefore, in the gossip, the dry hexagrams are the first, and the Kun hexagrams are the second; Dry on the top, Kun is next; South dry, North Kun. It's Gao Xingjian. It is thick and heavy. Then the philosophy of life is further extended from the explanatory nature of Gan Kun's image, that is, life should be as tall, resolute and self-reliant as the sky, as thick, broad and virtuous as the earth.
The story of "Heaven rewards diligence and morality carries things"
Zeng Guofan is one of the most influential figures in the history of China, but his talent was not high since he was a child. One day when I was studying at home, I repeated an article many times and was still reading it aloud because he hadn't memorized it yet. At this time, a thief came to his house and lurked under his eaves, hoping to get some benefits after the scholar went to bed. But wait and wait, just don't see him sleeping, or read the article over and over again.
The thief was furious and jumped out and said, "What books do you read at this level?" Then recite the article and leave! The thief is very clever, at least smarter than Mr. Zeng, but he can only be a thief, and Mr. Zeng has also become the person admired by President Mao Zedong: "the richest man in modern times." "Diligence is a good training, and one point is hard work."
The thief has a good memory. He was brave enough to recite the article after listening to it several times. He can jump out of "great anger" when he sees others not sleeping. Teach Ceng Laoshi a lesson, so we have to endorse and leave. Unfortunately, however, his name is not known, and Mr. Zeng later used a lot of talents. It is said that the thief and Mr. Zeng have known each other for a short time and can be used for one or two things. Unfortunately, his talent was not coupled with diligence, and he became ignorant.
