Example: Waiting for the rabbit-nothing is absolute, anything is possible. History is strikingly similar. As the master of all things, it is not uncommon for human beings to repeat the same mistakes, let alone rabbits.
Idiom:
New solution:
Idioms, as the crystallization of ancient wisdom, have become more and more precious with the passage of time, but when we carefully push some idioms from another angle, we will find some new interpretations, which is not unreasonable.
1, naturally: metaphorically, when the conditions are ripe, things will naturally succeed, that is to say, where the water flows, it will naturally become a canal.
On the other hand, water may not come naturally. As we all know, a person's success depends on internal factors, both of which are indispensable. If we regard a person's external cause as "water", can the external cause "reach the water" and the internal cause "follow the water"?
Jia Baoyu in A Dream of Red Mansions is brilliant and well-off. Jia Zheng has been forcing him to read sages' poems in order to make him the top scholar and honor his ancestors. The teacher has changed several times, and my father's sermon rings every day. The external conditions are ripe. What about the internal factors? Stupid people are afraid of reading articles. As a result, "even if the skin is well born, the abdomen is grass." Cao Xueqin's poem said: "Wealth does not know happiness, poverty is unbearable and desolate. Poor and disappointed, there is no hope in the home country. " It can be seen that "water" may not be "successful".
Investigate its reason, "water arrives" but "waterway" fails, how to store water? Of course, there will be no such thing as success. It's like a crop field that has been dry for a long time, and it is in urgent need of water diversion for irrigation. However, there is a wide river a few meters away from the ground, which is rich in water, but there is no diversion channel between the two places. Even if the water source is nearby, it can't be discharged. How can it be a "canal"? On the contrary, "the canal becomes" can lead to "water".
The premise of success in many things is not to wait for the arrival of "water", but to dig a "canal" and make all preparations before accepting "water". In fact, the clearest water source belongs to those who dig canals and draw water with their heart. "Water is coming" may not be "successful". "Water comes naturally" can lead to "water".
2. Going upstream, the situation is not smooth, and people need to work hard. Although this spirit of struggle in adversity is commendable, which ship can go faster under the same work compared with a ship sailing downstream? It goes without saying that if you don't advance, you will retreat. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you keep going upstream, you will be exhausted.
"Anti-Tao" is also like "countercurrent". Everything has its reasons and laws. When you can find the law, master it and apply it, you are like an old boatman who is familiar with water, and you can shuttle back and forth between the peaks and valleys with the tide. In history, Zhuge Liang's borrowing from the east wind is also proof that he took the helm with the wind.
Cao Cao, Chen Shi, Jiangbei, Jin Ge and Tiema have the potential to hold Jingzhou firmly. Zhuge Liang relied on the law of southeast wind on the "Winter Solstice Day", and a fire turned Sun Jun from defeat to victory. If Zhuge Liang acts recklessly, even if Sun and Liu join hands, it will be difficult to defeat the 800,000-strong army.
The ebb and flow of tides is a natural law, and the development of society is the general trend. People should be soberly aware that adaptation, evolution and harmonious development have become common sense, and we should not blindly encourage "going upstream". Take advantage of the trend and ride the wind and waves. Why not?
3. The story of "Looking at a Leopard in a Tube" originated from Wang Xianzhi, a calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He has been very clever since he was a child. One day, several guests came to his house to play a new game. He is watching the excitement. Looking at it, he suddenly said, "The one in the south is going to lose!" " "The guests were surprised: at an early age, I saw a little doorway! Later, Nanfang really lost. A guest said, "this lang really keeps his word!" This is also a peek at a leopard, you can see it when you see it! "
There are two completely different understandings of looking at a leopard in a tube: one is positive, that is, people can infer the whole picture from a part of something. Literally, "looking at a leopard in a tube" means seeing a leopard through the line of sight from a "bamboo tube". Because the line of sight is limited by the area of the round hole of the "bamboo tube", you can't see the "whole leopard", only the spotted pattern with leopard characteristics can be seen, so it is inferred that this is a leopard. This idea is extremely wise. "See the whole leopard from a glimpse", "See the world from a grain of sand" and "Know the sea from a drop of water" are often used to praise smart people who see the big picture from small things and understand the big truth through small things.
But if you think about this sentence in turn, you will immediately find that there are many loopholes. "A glimpse of the leopard in the tube shows a spot." So, can we see that all the spots are leopards? Don't! The stripes on sika deer are by no means inferior to those on leopards. Therefore, the stereotyped "seeing a leopard in a tube" may even lead to the unjust case of "referring to a deer as a leopard"!
Saying goodbye to "peeping at a leopard in a tube" is also the starting point for scientists to discover, invent and create. Columbus used to have a map of the world. If you can see the leopard in the tube, it seems that you don't need him to go on an expedition again. Of course, the meaning of being Columbus does not exist. In order to write "On the Origin of Species", Darwin boarded the naval expedition ship Beagle, made an almost desperate global expedition, and collected thousands of animal and plant specimens. If we look at the leopard from the inside, his Origin of Species may not become an epoch-making masterpiece, and it is difficult for him to become the founder of evolution. Therefore, we should do everything thoroughly and carefully, grasp the overall situation and be not afraid of hardship, and make clear the ins and outs of each link, and never look at it because of a moment's coincidence.
4. "To be an expert in understanding cows" requires vigilance, mastery of the relationship between the personality and characteristics of things, courage and carefulness. It took the ancients 19 years to master a thousand oxen. Wen marveled that "the blade is as new as a blade". Zhuangzi explained that he followed heaven, relied on nature, was in absolute emptiness, swam in nothingness and was not harmed by foreign objects. "Not injured by foreign objects" shows that my master is familiar with ox bones and tendons, skilled in the technique of solving cattle, and wielding a knife like a god, so 19 is as good as new. If you don't master the skills of understanding cows, you will violate the way of understanding cows, cut tendons and break bones, and both sides are injured, and you have to change your knife every month. The consequences are unimaginable.
5, contentment is always happy, which means that you are always happy when you know that you are satisfied. This sentence comes from Laozi, saying that "the disaster is greater than dissatisfaction, and the blame is greater than desire, so satisfaction is enough." At first glance, Lao Tzu's words and instructions are very reasonable. People should be satisfied and never aim too high. This should be a good thing. But in a blink of an eye, Lao Tzu is the founder of Taoism. There must be a reason for him to say this. After reading the materials, I learned that an important viewpoint of Taoism represented by Laozi is that it advocates "abandoning wisdom" and even fantasizes that people should be in a state of "small country with few people". Based on this, it seems that the "contentment" advocated by Laozi has the negative significance of being content with the status quo.
I don't care about everything in the world, but I am only interested in my own things. This is probably the simplest expression of contentment. Li Bai wrote in the poem "Into the Wine": "Oh, let a man with boldness of vision travel where he likes, and don't point his golden cup at the moon! "It is actually a passive and evasive outlook on life to drown one's sorrows by drinking and have fun by getting drunk, and to put aside everything in the world.
As we all know, the material world is always moving and developing. The interrelation and interaction of the material world constitute the movement process of things, and stillness is also a special form of movement; The movement of things is carried out in the form of continuous advance and rise, which is a process and development. For example, the movement and development of nature shows that the old owners gradually perish, and on this basis, new owners gradually appear; The movement and development of human society is manifested in the gradual development from primitive society to slave society, and then to feudal society, capitalist society and socialist society. Human's understanding of the objective world is also from shallow to deep, from phenomenon to essence, and constantly leaps from the realm of necessity to the realm of freedom. Contented people are always happy, denying the movement and development of things. Because of their temporary success, they fell into a state of self-satisfaction, lying on the previous credit book and not moving forward. They may forget the old saying: life is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.
A famous person once said: "The most interesting thing in life is to send the old and welcome the new, because the highest desire of human beings is to create a new life from time to time.
When we stand on the wave of life, we should not only learn from history, but also face a broader future. Starting today, we will try to understand idioms in new ways and look at the world from different perspectives, so that the world will be better.
6. Teach fish to swim.
People always think that "teaching others to swim is teaching others to swim", that is, showing off their talents in front of experts, which is easily despised and denied by everyone and really not worth taking. But my opinion is just the opposite: the courage of a man who can use an axe in front of Lu Ban is very commendable.
First of all, from the point of view of "Banmen", the axe craftsmen brought them a lot of fresh blood.
First, talents can be found. Without the volunteer and recommendation of the axe maker, the "Maxima" will be buried in the valley forever, and its talents will not be brought into play.
Second, it can encourage experts like Ban Men by going up a storey still higher. Now some people call themselves "Banmen". They are conceited and arrogant. If you say. The thugs "made a name for themselves" and even "worked miracles" in front of him, which is undoubtedly a kind of pressure on "Ban Men", making him feel that he can no longer eat his old money, thus catching up.
7. Make up for mistakes.
In the past, the well-known story of "making up a few things" was mostly used to criticize Mr. Nan Guo, a man who made a living by cheating people. They were cheated for a while, but they can't be cheated for life. In the end, it can't escape the test of practice and is exposed in disguise, warning future generations to study hard. Only by practicing a perfect skill can they stand all the tests.
Reading again today, I feel that Mr. Nan Guo is very sad, but the story is really thought-provoking: Qi Xuanwang likes to be lively and ostentatious, always wants to show the majesty of the monarch in front of people, and does not know how to pretend to understand, giving Mr. Nan Guo a chance to make up for himself; The band leader only gets paid and doesn't perform his duties. He didn't know there was "blindness" in the team, or he knew but didn't report it. He is extremely irresponsible to his superiors, leaving Mr. Nan Guo free for several years without "mending after it is too late"; The "teachers" around Mr. Nan Guo must have recognized that he can't blow a spade, but "everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door and nobody cares about others' frost", which makes Mr. Nan Guo fool others and be complacent.
