Liu Bei, AD 161-223, is also a well-known figure in the Three Kingdoms. He became famous at home and abroad for his virtues in persuading people and knowing how to use them well. The story of his three visits to the thatched cottage has been passed down to future generations and is talked about with great relish. His life was full of ups and downs, with moments of great glory and moments of great decline. After seeing clearly the situation he was in, he knew that the strength of one person alone was not enough to support his ideals and ambitions, so he successively attached himself to Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, Cao Cao and other princes.
In 208, after the Battle of Chibi, he had the foundation to ascend to the throne. In 221 AD, he established the Shu Han regime and reigned for two years as Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty. In June 223 AD, he asked Zhuge Liang to help him in front of his sick bed. He could not say all of them, but he said one sentence to his son Liu Chan: Do not do evil because it is small, and do not do good because it is small.
He intended to tell Liu Chan not to underestimate the impact of a small thing, not to do it because it is a small evil thing, and not to refrain from doing a small good thing. This sentence, which was written into Chinese textbooks, actually teaches the principles of life and work, and is also used as a golden sentence for enlightenment education.
Small principles, great wisdom. Liu Bei's life was nothing short of wonderful. He had seen everything in great storms. So what is the real profound connotation behind this sentence as a precious treasure he left to future generations before his death? Everyone who has heard this sentence knows what it means, but not many people actually do it. Life, in today's society, is synonymous with hurry.
This world has given us a lot of responsibilities. From the moment we are born, we carry with us unshirkable obligations. Faced with all kinds of temptations in this world, some hesitate, some plunge in, and some stick to their principles. In fact, every choice is influenced by values. Building good values ??requires a good environment, a quiet environment where you can stop and reflect and cultivate your mind.
When you are what this world has given you, what kind of person should you be. When you understand your own heart and your pursuit, the strength of your heart will tell you that no matter how big or small the good or evil is, you will make your own judgment and go in your own direction.
Everyone has heard the saying "Women are like clothes, brothers are like limbs". This mainly comes from Liu Bei's words in 195 AD: Even if clothes are torn, they can still be mended; if limbs are broken, they can be repaired. Of. But in fact, these two sentences do not mean the same thing. The situation when Liu Bei said this was that Zhang Fei lost Xuzhou because of his greed for drinking and pleasure.
Liu Bei's family was still in Xuzhou at that time. Zhang Fei felt that he had not trusted Liu Bei and regretted it very much. Liu Bei said this to protect the brotherhood and stabilize the current situation. Therefore, these two sentences are not closely related, and Liu Bei's words cannot be used as the basis for the saying that women are like clothes and men are like brothers.
Nowadays, this sentence more or less carries a sense of ridicule and ridicule. I believe many people born in the 80s and 90s have seen this sentence in gangster movies. It can be said that it has become It has become a catchphrase of gangsters. In fact, it has no other meaning. It is that Liu Bei and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were sworn brothers. Although they are not compatriots, they are like brothers. Later, in the eyes of most people, this sentence also expresses the deep brotherhood. The best statement ever.
