-Sima Guang

The relationship between virtue and talent has been the focus of discussion since ancient times. Virtue refers to people's moral cultivation, only to people's cultural cultivation. In my opinion, as Sima Guang said, it is the key that people should strengthen and master both morality and ability.

"Jingkang is ashamed, but it is still snowing, and the courtiers hate it. When will it be returned?" This song "Full Red" was written by Lu Fangweng, but how many people dared to sing for Yue Wumu at that time? In fact, during this period, there was another famous person. Let's take a look at Cai Jing, one of the four great calligraphers in the Song Dynasty.

Cai Jing is a great calligrapher of a generation, but he doesn't conform to the famous saying that "the mind is regular". He impressed the monarch at that time with his superb brushwork, and with the power of reward, he colluded with a group of ministers to dominate the capital. The mansion covers an area of dozens of miles, and every time it is expanded, thousands of houses will be forcibly demolished. He greedily forgot the way to be a minister. In the declining imperial court, he ignored the hunger and sufferings of the people, regardless of the massive invasion of the Jin people, only his pen wrote volumes of Chua's calligraphy to win the favor of the incumbent.

Ignoring moral cultivation, just like Cai's, even if he has a wealth of knowledge and talent, it will only harm others and society. Lu You, however, is not. He is not only civil and military, but also has lofty virtue. Later generations called him a "patriotic poet" as an example.

Lu You was born in a rich family, but his father took him from place to place all day because of the war. During this period, he loved literature very much, which made him know about Yue Fei. He was crazy about reading books, so he picked up a sword and began to practice martial arts. Yue Wumu in the book made him admire. When the news of Yue Fei's death came, Lu You wrote this article "Full of Red" like a soldier grabbing a weapon, in which no one could understand his inner pain. Later, he tried his best to become an official and go through the customs to kill the enemy. However, how did he defeat tens of thousands of nomads in his old age? Later, he "paid tribute to the title and released the Weng". Although he had the great ambition of "getting on the horse and attacking the crazy Hu, dismounting the grass army", he failed. However, a pure heart still lit his old age, and a series of excellent works proved that his life was integrated into the rise and fall of the whole country, and it was with this bumpy road that he became an indelible monument of literature.

Talented people lack character and become a stagnant pool. Without the flow of living things, there will be no unforgettable memories. Therefore, I should have a good grasp of the relationship between virtue and talent, so as to achieve both moral and professional training and both ability and political integrity.
