It seems that "those who are near the ink are black" has become an eternal motto. However, as long as we think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that it is not necessarily black people who approach Mexico. No matter whether you have read Zhou Dunyi's Love Lotus or not, anyone who has seen the lotus will be deeply moved by its quality of "emerging from the mud without dyeing, and being clear without being demon". Lotus can be described as "black near the ink", but it is crystal clear and graceful, which has been praised by people in past dynasties. It is quietly rooted in the mud, but it is not in cahoots with it, and it is more graceful like a bright moon. It can be seen that there are many people who are not black near the ink. Then, why are there people who are close to ink but not "black"? Black or not, the key lies in the quality of those who are close to ink. The reason why lotus is "not black" lies in its innate purity. It can be seen that whether people approach ink is a superficial phenomenon of the external environment, and whether people who approach ink will eventually turn black is determined by their own quality, that is, internal factors play a leading role. Imagine that those who are upright and awe-inspiring, whether they are near the ink or near the red, should always be upright and awe-inspiring, so that "red" can admire and "ink" can be ashamed. During the Warring States Period, Qu Yuan's idea of practicing internal affairs and uniting with foreign countries against the State of Qin could not be realized. He was in a "fighting" environment, but Qu Yuan remained unmoved. He would rather "worry and end up poor" and "seek peace" for the people. In his body, it embodies the quality of being close to ink but not black. But there are also many "black" people who are pro-ink. Pro-Zhu may not be "red", but their quality will be black, which is not determined by "Zhu" and "Mo". Throughout the dynasties, once upon a time, there were no traitors and villains who disturbed the platform and corrupted the state affairs. Visible, black and not black, the key depends on whether its essence is black.
