Some people say that after material civilization reaches a certain level, comfort becomes a necessity. But I don't think so, because comfort is not a good thing. Ouyang Xiu's Biography of Lingguan explains the harm of comfort. Zhuang Zong was ordered in a crisis, and he kept in mind his father's instructions. He stayed up all night trying to be strong. I conquered Yan and Liang in a few years, and my ambition was rewarded. However, he didn't prepare for danger in times of peace, and he didn't understand that work can rejuvenate the country and leisure can die. In the end, he was trapped by dozens of actors, died and died, and was laughed at by the world.
Worry and fatigue can rejuvenate the country, and leisure can die. Comfort is indeed the root of disaster.
(3) In fact, in the vast history of China, Zhuang Zong was not the only one who was destroyed because of ease? It's convenient and everywhere.
(4) If the talented emperor Yang Di is cruel, loyal, far-sighted and disdainful, who can say that he will not become a wise king? But history played a joke on him, chasing debauchery, chasing pleasure and ease, and finally the country was ruined and ruined, and it fell into an eternal stigma, sad!
⑤ The heroic Qin Shihuang destroyed six countries, unified China, unified currency, weights and measures and writing, and facilitated world trade. If there were no subsequent brutality and despotism, he would be a generation of heroes. It's a pity that he had no self-knowledge, squandered everything in the world, and built Abang Palace and Lishan Mausoleum in pursuit of ease and pleasure, attracting beautiful women. As a result, he complained and became angry, leaving a short-lived dynasty for future generations.
There are countless such figures, such as Emperor Tang Ming, Emperor Nuo of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Daoguang and Emperor Xianfeng. , are incompetent emperors in the history of China. Incompetence is only appearance, and the reason for incompetence is the desire for pleasure and comfort.
⑦ I understand that Emperor Taizong lamented "Jun, Zhou Ye; People, water also. The knife cuts bread and fingers. I also understand the connotation of Zhu Yuanzhang's feeling that "sitting on the ground is more difficult than ploughing"; I have a better understanding of the practical and far-reaching significance of "we must be alert to the enemy's sugar-coated cannonballs" instilled by Mao Zedong to all party comrades after the founding of New China ... We must keep comrades modest, cautious, arrogant and calm, and we must make comrades work hard.
A man cannot covet ease, nor can a nation covet ease.
A country cannot covet comfort. People who love ease are doomed to play with things and do nothing; A nation that yearns for comfort is doomed to decline, without vitality and creativity; A country that loves ease is bound to be eliminated and abandoned in the increasingly fierce international competition.
Pet-name ruby worry can rejuvenate the country, and ease can stop. Remember.
