In a sense, "a hunter who chases deer but can't see the mountain" is by no means a good hunter.
In Qin Ershi, Zhao Gao refers to the deer as a horse, which is the most typical person who only sees the "deer" but not the "mountain". As a result, Qin lost his deer. Xiang Yu seems to be a good "hunter", but he only saw the "deer" missing the "mountain" and ended up in Wujiang River. At that time, you had to accept that the real good "hunter" was Liu Bang: he entered Xianyang first, but he was able to make three rules and command the army.
"Hunters chasing deer can't see the mountain", maybe there will be more prey on the other side of the mountain, and maybe there will be a magnificent scene of a group of deer boiling and shocking. Therefore, the meaning of this sentence is essentially enlightening us that life cannot be covered by immediate interests, and we must be far-sighted if we can see longer-term interests; Never "see only the trees, but not the forest" or "see only one leaf, but not Mount Tai".
We often have such classmates around us who are addicted to online games and online novels. , or puppy love, chasing and playing. In short, they don't realize the importance of learning knowledge for the future ... These students are actually hunters who "chase deer but don't see mountains".
Why do some people only see the immediate interests, but can't see the longer-term interests?
This is because the immediate interests are like deer in front of us, concrete and vivid, within reach, which makes people itch; And long-term interests are like distant mountains, remote and elusive, and it is easy to lose confidence. Moreover, people who pursue immediate interests are often selfish and narrow-minded, unable to plan their lives in the long run, eager for success and lacking patience; But those who pursue long-term interests can stand tall and look far, have lofty goals and lofty aspirations, and persevere.
In real life, some people only see immediate interests, and even don't see injuries or disasters. Just like fish, only bait, no hook. This is because the benefits are in front of us, but the harm and disaster are in the future, which is uncertain, just like virtual; Some people even think that they will avoid this kind of injury and disaster. Just like those corrupt officials, they knew they would go to jail and had long been ruined. Maybe they won't reach out at first, or they won't reach out for that long. This kind of person who "sees the benefits but not the harm" is similar to the person who "sees the immediate interests but not the long-term interests" and is also a hunter who "chases the deer but doesn't see the mountains".
Everyone has been chasing "deer" all his life, but not just chasing "deer" While chasing "deer", we should also see the existence of "mountain"!
