The opening of the Water Margin begins with the opening of the stone tablet door in the town of *, which is the collective birth of the highest day on earth. Finally, when Emperor Song Huizong went to Li Shishi for a tryst, he was led to the water margin by Dai Zhong in his dream, visited the scenery of the water margin village, and listened to Song Jiang and others who had turned into ghosts telling the story of Gao Qiu, Tong Guan, Cai Jing and others deceiving their superiors and deceiving their subordinates, and designing to frame Liangshan heroes. After Song Huizong woke up, he arranged for loyal officials to make on-the-spot verification, and later made amends for Song Jiang and others, but officials such as Gao Qiu, Tong Guan and Cai Jing still won the trust of the emperor.
The story unfolds and ends in a mythical background. In the whole novel of Water Margin, relying on Gongsun Sheng's Daoism, you can directly participate in the battle on the battlefield, or like Luo Zhenren, you can arrange for the Yellow Scarf Lux to throw Li Kui jy into the air with his magical power. In the dream, Sung River got a gobbledygook (similar to the Military Strategy Book in Sun Tzu's Art of War) taught by Xuan Nv for nine days, and the hero Zhang Shun was shot dead by the defenders in the West Lake in Hangzhou during the process of conquering Fang La. Later, he personally killed his enemy through his brother Zhang Heng's soul possession. Various magical cases abound. In novels, these fairy tales are regarded as true stories. The injustice in the real world (for example, ministers Tong Guan and Gao Qiu framed heroes of water margin for many times) can only be compensated fairly by appearing after death (for example, Song Jiang was buried in a sparse depression similar to the topography of water margin after his death, and often appeared to pray for the people in his workplace).
For example, Xuan Nv's nine-day authorization to Song Jiang, the slogan of doing good for heaven recorded in the gobbledygook, and the heroic gobbledygook tablet of 108 have all made these rebels against the government find spiritual support. If we carefully observe the peasant uprisings of past dynasties, we will find that at the moment of regime change, almost all the insurgents rely on the divine right granted by heaven to obtain the justice of rebellion. Chen Guang hid a piece of white cloth in the belly of a fish and wrote Chen. And find someone to imitate the fox's cry at midnight. In the late Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu relied on Liu Xiu's prediction in divination to be king, thus creating the legitimacy of being king. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yellow turban insurrectionary army relied on the spread of Taiping Dao, claiming that Heaven was dead, and the peasants of the Yuan Dynasty rebelled against the belief of Maitreya Buddhism, claiming that Wang Xiaoming was going to be born. Such a dynasty was called the Ming Dynasty. The scholar Hong Xiuquan rebelled, copied the concept of God and claimed to be the son of God. In the late Qing Dynasty, the Boxers boycotted foreigners, believing that joining the Red Gun Club was invulnerable and blessed by the gods.
Liang Shanbo's heroic resistance also followed this set of roads. Only Li Kui jy shouted out in public that Brother Sung Jiang could still be emperor, but he was laughed at by his brothers. Ruan, though courageous, can try on his imperial robe after defeating Fang La, but after all, he is a minority among Liangshan heroes. Sung river, under the banner of doing good for heaven, is ultimately against the logic of ministers rather than emperors.
In the ending of heroes in Water Margin, most of them are wise to protect themselves. In fact, the choice of these people is more helpless. In the traditional culture of China, people who want to do something will end up with three outcomes: one is to be crowned king and make a name for themselves, the other is to win or lose, the third is to be a prisoner, and the third is to see through life, regard success or failure as a phantom bubble and convert to Buddhism. In various feudal dynasties, people who made great contributions usually ended up like prisoners. This is because in the eyes of feudal emperors, heroes with different surnames are always untrustworthy and will usurp power and seize power sooner or later. People who are too capable are very valuable when dealing with the enemy. Once the enemy doesn't exist, these people will become potential power competitors, so they will always be just chess pieces used by the emperor. After their success, the result is still an unknown disaster.
Many brothers of Liang Shanbo played the banner of rebellion with Song Jiang, read brotherhood, ate meat and drank wine, and then followed Song Jiang to the north to fight without complaint. The three Ruan brothers are one of the typical cases. When Wu Yong went to Ruan Jia Cun to join the three brothers, he was angry with his skill, saying that if he could make contributions, even one day in his life would be worth it. He was full of enthusiasm and devoted himself to the cause of Water Margin. It's a pity that Song Jiang's strategy is consistent from beginning to end. Waiting to win over, relying on the talents and strength of a group of brothers to contribute to the court, waiting for promotion and knighthood, and then returning to China, this is Song Jiang's ideal. But as everyone knows, these brothers were originally the eyesore of the court. After repeated failures in military conquest, the imperial court had no choice but to choose the strategy of wooing and peace. Song Jiang and his gang started at the grassroots level. By testing their own strength, they got the opportunity to contribute to the court. However, after their enlistment, their superiors were all former enemies, and the court could just use Song Jiang as a pawn to cut off the rebel forces of dissidents, waiting for the snipe and clam to compete and the fisherman to benefit. Since the heroes of the Water Margin have chosen the road of confrontation with the imperial court, it is difficult to return to the original order.
Among many heroes in the Water Margin, Song Jiang is a martial arts enthusiast. Although he can wield a sword and spear, his strength on the battlefield is no match for Liangshan heroes. Strangely, all heroes are in a hurry to defect when they mention the name of Timely Rain.

Change habitual thinking, be good at observing things around you and learn to sum up. According to economics, people are rational and usually weigh their actions according to their own interests. In daily life, due to the habit of things around us, we will not think about the existence and rationality of things, nor will we study the appearance of things in a deeper level. In fact, life has its own charm, and everything in life contains economic reasons. Most of the time, we take it for granted, it's just a habit. It is this way of thinking that influenced me in my previous study. I ignored the significance of inquiry, which is a natural idea. After reading this book, I realized how poor my previous understanding was and how divorced from reality my theory was. The answer could not be affirmative. If you think from another angle, you will have a new understanding.
Understand the concepts in the basis of economics in the simplest and most direct way. Although I study accounting, I also have a lot to do with economics. When I took the course of western economics before, I was so confused that I couldn't even remember the formulas and technical terms, so I didn't talk about continuing exploration. After the exam, I felt light and secretly vowed never to touch it again. Economists' books are all aristocratic economics, a lot of tables, formulas, strange nouns and English abbreviations. This gives us an illusion that economics is abstract, difficult to understand and has little to do with life. "Milk Coke Economics" has taught me to understand abstract theories with examples around me, so it is simple and clear, and the same is true when communicating with people. The quickest and most effective way to make the other person understand what I mean is to give examples around you to familiarize them. Especially in the future work, the people you meet may not all know accounting terms or terminology, so using examples around you will make your work get twice the result with half the effort. Why not?
After reading the whole book, you won't feel obscure, which completely dispels the psychological barrier brought by the mountain of economics. At least this book made me understand the simple truth that theory comes from life, and let me see interesting and vivid economics. For the explanation of the phenomena seen in life, the book expounds two economic concepts that the author thinks are the most basic and important: opportunity cost and cost-benefit principle. Opportunity cost refers to giving up the value of other things in order to engage in one activity; The principle of cost-effectiveness means that it is worthwhile to do it only when the extra benefits brought by the action are greater than the extra costs, and you should do it only when there are other costs. This is the answer to the question.
For example, why is milk sold in square boxes and coke sold in round bottles?
First, because of consumption habits, coke is round and suitable for drinking in your hand. Few people drink milk cartons, although some are equipped with straws. Second, the product characteristics are different, and the milk needs to be specially packaged in the freezer, which has high operating costs. If it is round, the utilization rate of the freezer will be reduced. And most of the cokes we see in the supermarket are open.
On the shelf.
This is the answer given in the book. I believe there is no absolute standard answer. You can combine real life and learn to think from different angles. For example, the milk of Wang Lao Ji and Wang Zi is packed in square paper and round aluminum cans. I don't know which beverage has high profit, but judging from the fact that it can be bought everywhere, the same beverage, with different packaging and different pricing, occupies a certain share in the beverage market. I think, whether square or round, it depends more on product positioning and market demand.
This also shows that this book aroused our enthusiasm for thinking and interest in economics, and we learned how to analyze from an example. There are many small things in the book, so don't take the examples too seriously, because the author is in a different environment from ours, and some examples are incomprehensible. In the future, we should use economics to solve problems and feel the charm of life, which will not only help our career, but also optimize our life. Although not everyone is an economist, we can at least think more actively and apply our thinking to our lives.

Ordinary World is a novel that Lu Yao won the Mao Dun Literature Prize. It describes the modern urban and rural life in China. Through Sun Shaoping and other figures, the images of ordinary people in all walks of life, such as self-esteem, self-improvement and self-confidence, struggle and struggle, frustration and pursuit, pain and joy, are intertwined and sad.
The Ordinary World is a great masterpiece, which explains the ordinary and suffering and the meaning of life for us. I like the starting point of Lu Yao, the ordinary world. What the book describes for us is a world on the loess plateau, which is also my hometown. There are a group of ordinary people who have faced the loess for generations. They are all lovely people, performing a drama of birth and death, joys and sorrows, poverty and wealth, suffering and struggle, and changes in the world. Is it a comedy? Tragedy? Drama? Maybe a little of both. In this book, there are no gorgeous words, no thrilling bizarre plots, no earth-shattering scenes, only ordinary people, ordinary life, ordinary feelings and ordinary stories.
In junior high school, my teacher recommended this book to me. At that time, I thought it was nothing special and the name was boring, so I didn't read it until the summer vacation was boring and I opened it conveniently. When I opened the first page, I was attracted by a scene described by rain and snow: misty rain with a little snowflake. I like this landscape description and appreciate it beautifully. This may be the book. It is natural that spring goes to summer, summer to Qiu Lai, autumn to winter, and winter to spring again, which spans the seasonal changes of nearly 10 years. Different descriptions of the same season show me grand plans. I fell in love with this ordinary book, and the person who impressed me the most was Sun Shaoping. This is a man who has a deep understanding of suffering, life and spiritual world. He has a strong personality, strong spiritual strength and great courage. From an African as a student to an adult laborer, he experienced a hard life struggle. But in the process of pain and tempering, he formed a sense of pride and loftiness in his suffering. I admire his philosophy of suffering, his understanding of labor and his understanding of life.
Regarding the philosophy of suffering, the book expresses that he struggled at the bottom of society and suffered for a few dollars; But he has not only regarded this as a living and survival, but now he loves his own suffering more. Through this bloody baptism, he believes that the honey of life brewed by himself is definitely more delicious than that easily obtained. He derided his understanding as the theory of pain. What kind of understanding is this? Every time we encounter difficulties and setbacks, perhaps this kind of difficulties and setbacks is only one millionth of what Sun Shaoping has suffered. Have we ever had such an understanding? Even if it rains after school, or the weather is sultry and the power is cut off, we often hear many complaints. However, I think that as long as you finish reading Ordinary World, you will understand the philosophy of suffering, and even if there is more suffering in the future, you will not complain.
For the understanding of labor, the book writes: Whether a person's spirit is full or not, or whether his life is meaningful, mainly depends on his attitude towards labor. This is absolutely an incisive theory, which will never go out of date. Only labor can make people strong in life. No matter who you are, you will eventually need workers who can create a life with their hands. For these people, Sun Shaoping taught them the most important lesson in life. How to treat labor is the most basic topic in life. There are two kinds of people here, hardworking and lazy. There is no difference in life, but after different circumstances and development, great differences have occurred between people. During this period, different understandings of labor played a decisive role in producing this difference. Just like when we were admitted to the university, there was not much difference in study. However, after three years of college life, the differences between people are enormous. In fact, everyone's ending is carefully designed by themselves.
When we read this, we should all think about how we treat labor. What I appreciate most is that the author has given us a profound truth from the stories of these ordinary people, that is, how we live and our attitude and thinking about life. Life is mentioned many times in the book, which may be the depth and essence of this book.
If we can deeply understand suffering, it will bring people a sense of loftiness. If life requires you to endure pain, you must grit your teeth and stick to it. A great man once said: Will pain be in vain? It should make us great! What is ordinary? Those who are lost in ordinary life, familiar with the dullness in their eyes, content with mediocrity in their thoughts and content with the status quo in their lives are truly ordinary.
This is a noisy, impetuous and moral crisis era. Everyone who still has a dream and is pursuing it should review "Ordinary World", which will let you know that although fate is so unfair and society is so unfair, as long as you persevere, work hard and go forward bravely, you can finally succeed. Everyone who is wasting his life should read Ordinary World, which will make you know how to cherish it.
This book is interspersed with two complicated love stories. I believe that everyone who has read this book will feel sorry when they hear Tian Xiaoxia. Tian Xiaoxia is a nobleman in Sun Shaoping, and Sun Shaoping is satisfied with her appearance. Even if we can't be together in the end, we are all happy. This is also an extraordinary point in Sun Shaoping's ordinary life. He met Tian Xiaoxia. However, how many people can find their true love in real life? For many people, Sun Shaoping's love is enviable. Shao An is the most successful character in Ordinary World, I think so. It really depicts the characters to the extreme. I even think Shao An is someone around me. He dropped out of school when he was a child because he had no money to study. His love with Runye is so regrettable. Yes, there is no romance. Shao An, everything he does is for this family. He is very selfish to his family. In order to maintain his family, he gave up moistening leaves. Although the book says that he and Runye are brother and sister, we will never forget his joy and even madness when he received Runye's confession letter. Run leaves such a good person, Shao An has no reason not to like it. It's just that our sense of responsibility is too strong. He subconsciously thinks that he can't give happiness to his lover, so he dare not talk about love. He only has marriage, not love. His wife must be able to support the family with him. Speaking of Shao An's career, it can be said that Shao An is a smart, diligent and enterprising person. It is not beyond our expectation that he can make a fortune in the wave of reform and opening up, but his experience is bumpy. How realistic it is, what you pay will be rewarded. Of course there are gains and losses. At the peak of his career, his wife treated a disease, but she was terminally ill. This is another masterpiece of Ordinary World.
The book Ordinary World has changed my understanding of life, changed my thinking and changed my attitude. It deeply shocked me. Their fate is subject to that era. Isn't it? Each of us can't completely decide our own destiny. What we can do is to feel the beauty of life as much as possible and experience the extraordinary happiness in ordinary life.
