Lao Tzu said: "Those who know do not speak, those who speak do not know." Poetry fairy Li Bai has a typical poem that "people don't speak much"-"Xia Ke Xing", in which there are two sentences: "Kill a person in ten steps, do not stay for a thousand miles. If things happen, they will go away and hide themselves and their fame. "
Take the simplest and rude example in reality. Those dogs who bark when they bluff and bark are usually petit dogs. The cruel characters who really bite are often quiet and come up to shine on your calf. It's just a bite. Before you can react, it has gone away, hiding its merit and fame.

those who have been compared all day long in history can basically be determined to be fakes. The real ruthless people have no time to chat with you. They are all straight to the subject, even emotional transitions. No. For example, it was also a self-recommendation. During the Warring States period, Qi Guomeng Changjun had a slut. As a doorman, because he was small and transparent, he shouted:
"Changchai is back!
Shiwuyu.
Changsha is back!
has no car.
is back!
has no home." The meaning of
is obvious. You need to have meat and seafood when you go out; you need a special car to pick you up when you go out, and you have to send a driver! The apartment rented by the boss is not good enough, and the house must be divided. This person was called Feng Yuan. Although he was indeed a little capable, and later did a lot of things for the master, he always felt that the price was too low.
You look at Jiang Taigong, he just squatted to the edge of the Weihe River, dropped a straight hook, and caught the fish very much. King Zhou Wen sent it to the door himself and made him a deputy from the beginning. President.
After the State of Qin destroyed the State of Chu, there was also a ruthless saying in Chu-although Chu had three households, Qin must be destroyed. Wu Zixu, a contemporary of
, also had a hard time. Chu people killed his family, and he came to Yue without saying a word. After some careful manipulation, he destroyed Chu with the King Wu. , But the enemy, the old King Chu, has passed away. According to ordinary people's temperament, he just gave up. But Wu Zixu did not. He dug up the tomb of King Chu and pulled him out of the coffin to whip his body.
Later, because King Wu listened to the villain’s slander, Wu Zixu was framed tragically. He didn’t defend himself, even if he died, he would die just now. After he died, he asked someone to goug his eyes, pick it up on a wooden pole, and say yes. It is necessary to see how the Yue State army can destroy Wu State. As a result, he said that, not much to say, Gou Jian, who only had the courage, led three thousand Yuejia to destroy the country of Wu.
Kyushu during the Warring States Period was like a porridge cooking mode. The whole country was fighting around, and there was no one day between the princes. Facing such a situation, Lao Tzu, a wise man who saw through everything, was too lazy to say a word. It was only because of Guan Yiyin’s hard work that he left the 5,000-word "Tao Te Ching", otherwise I am afraid we will even have a history. I don't even know that I have ever had a character like Lao Tzu.

do things ruthlessly, often without much words. Just like in the last years of the Qin Dynasty, it was also an uprising. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's operations were a bit of a drama, exposing the performance personality. It’s a stick-up again; it’s looking up at the sky at 45 degrees, and exclaiming, “The princes and generals are so kind”; it’s also packaging it for public relations, saying that a sticky note was found in the belly of the fish with the words "Chen Sheng is the best" Yes!!!" The words; I heard the fox calling at night again, saying "Da Chuxing, King Chen Sheng".
has a series of horrible operations, it seems to have a nose and eyes, but it can't stand it, so he kneeled down and begged for his father.
On the contrary, look at Xiang Yu, a ruthless man. He just glanced at Qin Shihuang in the crowd and vowed to replace him. Later, he defeated the Qin army and crushed the Qin State, and he was on the throne of the eye.
take another classmate around us to give a chestnut. When we were young, we had the loudest answer to the questions in class, and the ones who raised our hands the fastest. They were often not very good at learning. They were just half a bottle of water. Those with a high school level were always very low-key. When people talk about learning, I always push out with my hands: I can’t, I can’t; every time someone has a question to review the situation before the exam, I always shook my head hurriedly: no review, no review, no effort or effort.
, but they are first in the exam.
lowTuning is a high profile. Do you see who is the smartest, greatest and most powerful in the universe? Of course it is "Tao". Everything we can't see now is born from it, but have you seen others show off? Have you seen a sense of presence in your circle of friends?
No, Tao has always been unknown, as if not moving.
That's why Lao Tzu warned us to "shut down and close the door; set back the sharp and resolve the dispute." "Daily" and "door" are both exports, and if there is an exit, there will be leakage. Just like a person, there is life and death. The body is born with seven orifices, and the disease comes from the mouth. Therefore, the most powerful Central Heavenly Emperor in myths and legends, it is a monster that looks like a fleshy sac, without a face and aperture.

low-ranking people, especially like critics, especially like to classify people, just like children watching TV series, always like to distinguish who is good and who is bad. To put it nicely is called Tong Yan Wuji, to put it bluntly is silly, white and sweet, thinking too simple, thinking too simple, too yang too simple.
look at elementary school students, men and women at the same table have to draw a line on the desk , This side is mine, and that side is yours. If you exceed my limit, I will tell the teacher.
How does the Buddha comment on a great god like a Bodhisattva? There is no self, no one, no sentient beings, no life. There is no difference between people and mine. Mine is yours, and yours is yours. Animals are life, and plants are life. Everyone is living beings in the six realms. Who doesn't reincarnate in this world of Saha for one lifetime?
Don't say anyone, but the majority are greedy, anger, and foolish.
Only those simple-minded and narrow-minded people can easily draw conclusions about one thing, one size fits all for a group of people, and an eternal standard for everyone.
Therefore, Lao Tzu said: "If you can't get close, you can't get close; if you can't get it, you can harm it; if you don't get it, it's expensive, and you can't get it and it's cheap." People who are in harmony with Tao do not have so many bends Winding around, just like Qi Huangyang, the doctor of the Jin Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period, the boss asked him to recommend candidates. He was selfless, and he neither avoided his enemies nor deliberately avoided his son. In his eyes, what he wants is the talent suitable for that position, not the relationship between him and himself. In the eyes of the sage,
does not distinguish between relatives, interests, and nobles. The world is not benevolent, and everything is a dog.
The sentence "Screw it, close the door" also appeared in Chapter 52, which is equivalent to the air vent of a balloon. Once the hole is opened, it will immediately become discouraged and become a cavity; it is also like the gate of a reservoir. When it is opened, it will lose all its potential energy. What power will it have after the flood?
Therefore, we must do the opposite. The more fragrant the wine, the more it must be hidden in the deep alleys, so that everyone can only smell the smell and not see it. When the curiosity is heavy, the gluttons will be hooked, and they will naturally rush.
This has also formed a strange phenomenon in Chinese history, which can be regarded as a reverse operation of Laozi's view, which is an artificial "reverse operation". Many people always think that those who are hidden must be superiors. Therefore, some people who seek fame and honour have little knowledge. They also have to pretend to be a hermit. They hide in the mountains and sing loudly with a book they don’t understand, waiting for the price. sell.
also formed a kind of "hermit economy". It was originally a mediocre person. After several years of hiding in the mountains, people immediately looked at him differently. Lao Tzu knows these pickled talents, I guess he will have to laugh and cry.
