During the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin Mugong once asked Bole, "You are the first-class horse racing master in the world. Do you have any children to inherit from? " Bole said with a smile, "My children are all mediocre, and they can only distinguish ordinary horses from their bones and muscles. But the concept of a good horse in the world is elusive. However, I know a man named Jiufanggao, who has a special talent for appreciating horses and is much better than me. Indifferent personality, often working for others or chopping wood for a living, but especially like incense and hemp. If you agree, I'll be happy to introduce this person to you. "
Mu Gong was very happy and immediately asked Bole to bring the Jiufang cake. After receiving Jiu Gaofang, Mu Gong ordered him to find a sweetheart and a good horse. After a few months, Jiufanggao met Mu Gong, and Mu Gong asked him, "What color did you find a good horse?" After a moment's hesitation, Q9 Fang Gao said, "It's a yellow mare." Mu Gong and the guards went to the stable to have a look, and it turned out to be a black stallion, not a yellow mare! Mu Gong was disappointed and angry. He immediately sent an audience to Bole: What skills do you recommend for Jiufanggao to know horses? Male and female horses are indistinguishable, and they can't even tell the color!
Bole said slowly, "In fact, you criticized the old Gao Fang. He doesn't know horses. Knowing horses is his gift! What you see is the inner beauty of the horse, not the external form. He is transcending the horse's body and directly understanding the essence of the mysterious realm! " Sure enough, the horse that Jiufanggao brought back proved to be a good horse outside the group after tests.
2. After Wu Ju was sent to the State of Jin, King Chu Ling invited Zheng Zi Chan, Zi Chan and Zheng Jiangong to come together. He knows that Zi Chan is a very clever man.
"You help me analyze, can the Golden Man agree with our request?" King Chu Ling told a general story and then asked Zi Chan. "No problem, the monarch of Jin pursues ease, and their ministers are all mediocre corrupt elements, unable to assist the monarch." Zi Chan answered without hesitation, and King Chu Ling was very happy. "So, do you think the governor will come?" "Come, why don't you come? I'm afraid Wei, Lu, Zhu and Cao are the ones who won't come. Because both Lu and Wei are attached to Jin, Yan and Cao are attached to Lu and Song, and they dare not say this. " The property analysis was in place, and King Chu Ling nodded.
"So, will I get what I want?" "Ask others, not; Have the same desire as others and try your best. ("Zuo Zhuan") "Zi Chan said that you can't force others. If it is in line with other people's wishes, then there is no problem. King Chu Ling said nothing, but said in his heart, "I insist on arrogance and let you see if it is useful." -in the summer, the princes came. According to the rules, Qi can't come, so Qi didn't come. Besides, Wei, Lu, Yan and Cao didn't come.
Lu's excuse is that he is meeting with Duke Zhou, and there is a conflict in time. Wei's excuse is that Xiang Gong is ill, while Guo and Cao's excuse is that the country is unstable. Everything is as expected by Zi Chan. Apart from these countries, in fact, the most important country is the monarch of Zheng Guolai, the Qing Dynasty of Song Guolai, the son of Taizong Zuo Hou, and the rest of the participants are small countries. On June 16, King Chu Ling held a peace conference in Shendi. Before the meeting, King Chu Ling specially asked Wu Ju to discuss the way of peace.
"As far as I know, politeness is very important. Now, if you want to convince the princes verbally, you must conform to the etiquette. Only in this way can we achieve hegemony. In the past, there was a banquet in Xia Qi, a quiet banquet in Shang Tang, an oath in Jin Meng in Zhou Wuwang, a military parade in Qiyang in Zhou Chengwang, an audience in Zhou Kangwang, a mountain-killing meeting in Zhou Muwang, an uprising in Qi Huangong, and a joint practice in soil by Duke Wen of Jin. Which one are you going to use, your majesty? " Wu Ju showed off, which made King Chu Ling dizzy. Only then did he remember that the practice of Tu Meng began in Zhaoling, Jin Wengong and Qi Huangong.
"Then, just like Qi Huangong." After careful consideration, King Chu Ling felt that he could not be the same as Jin, which would attract ridicule from Jin people. "Well, that's called the son of Xu Xiang and Zheng in the Song Dynasty. These two are knowledgeable and they know how to operate. " Wu Ju said he didn't understand. King Chu Ling called Xu Xiang and Zi Chan. Sure enough, they read widely and made the etiquette of the whole process clear. "Wu Ju, you stand behind me. If I do something wrong, point it out to me at once. "
Before making peace, King Chu Ling assigned Wu Ju a task. "No problem, the king will be bold." Wu Ju readily promised. The peace conference turned into an alliance meeting, and everyone vowed to respect Chu as the boss. The whole process went smoothly, and everyone wanted to understand that no one was a fool and no one would suffer immediate losses. King Chu Ling feels very good about himself. He defined this congress as "unprecedented success". After taking the oath, King Chu Ling suddenly discovered that during the whole process, Wu Ju did not correct a mistake, and it seemed that everything he did was in line with etiquette.
"Hey, hey, look, I have this set of things. I'm fine." King Chu Ling proudly said to Wu Ju. "Ah, how did the king know that he was all right?" WuJu some surprise. "If I didn't do everything right, why didn't you correct me?" "Ah, I didn't correct you because I haven't seen it. I don't understand. " Wu Ju suddenly realized. "Ah, so that's the way it is?" King Chu Ling suddenly realized that more than half of his pride had disappeared, and he was a little unhappy: "Since you don't understand, why are you still standing behind me?"
"Big king, if I don't stand behind you, can you be so confident? You can't let your son take you behind, can you? Besides, you are the leader. Isn't everything you do right? " "Ha ha ha ha, I like to listen to this." King Chu Ling is happy again. He likes martial arts and thinks that this man can see the essence of everything through phenomena.
Linklater, a famous American host, visited a child one day and asked him, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" The child naively replied, "well ... I want to be an airplane pilot!" " Linklater then asked, "What would you do if one day your plane flew over the Pacific Ocean and all the engines died? "The child thought for a moment:" I will tell the people sitting on the plane to fasten their seat belts first, and then I will hang up my parachute and jump out. "
While the audience was laughing, linklater continued to observe the child to see if he was a self-righteous guy. Unexpectedly, then two lines of tears welled up in the child's heart, which made linklater realize that the child's sympathy was far beyond words. So linklater asked him, why did you do this? "The child's answer revealed his sincere thoughts:" I'm going to get the fuel, and I want to come back! "
4. In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a mute. Whenever a new magistrate takes office, he will present a wooden stick and inexplicably provoke the government to beat him. This year Bao Zheng took office, and the dumb came to give a stick. Bao Zheng thought, this person must have grievances, otherwise he was beaten every time, why did he come to offer a stick? But this mute can neither speak nor read nor write, and he doesn't know why.
So, Bao Zheng told his men not to hit him no matter how stupid he was. On this day, the mute came to offer a stick again. Bao Zheng asked his men to paint pig's blood on the dumb, pretending to be very hard, and then tied the dumb and paraded the streets. Then he ordered his men to bring it back and ask if anyone complained about being dumb. Sure enough, when the mute was wandering in the street, an old man shouted injustice. So the old man was taken to the sheriff's hall.
The old man said, "This mute is a stone mute in our village. He can't speak since he was a child, but he can hear. His brother Shi Quan swallowed up his rich family property and drove him out of the house. Dumb people complain to the yamen by offering sticks every year, but they are scolded by sticks every year. Today, he was beaten all over with blood. I really couldn't stand it today, so I cried for the dumb. " Bao Zheng immediately sent Shi Quan to see the official's son, but Shi Quan refused to acknowledge the younger brother. Bao Zheng's persuasion was of no help, so Bao Zheng thought of a plan in his mind.
He let Shi Quan go first, and then taught the mute to say, "If you meet your brother in the future, hit him." The dumb man looked at Bao Zheng in surprise, blinked, shook his head and looked scared. Bao Zheng said: "Don't be afraid, just fight, and this official will make the decision for you." A few days later, Shi Quan, who was severely beaten, came to complain, accusing the mute of disrespectful manners and beating his brother. Bao Zheng asked: "Of course, your brother can't be lenient when he hits your brother, but if it's not his brother, it's another matter." Shi Quan didn't know it was a scam and insisted, "He is really my own brother."
Hearing this, Bao Zheng shouted loudly: "Since he is his own brother, why do you take the family property for yourself and ignore it?" Shi Quan realized that he had been cheated. It turned out that all this was arranged by Bao Zheng. Don't be fooled by superficial phenomena. Everything has a cause and effect. As long as you observe carefully and think carefully, you can grasp the essence of the problem.
5. During World War II, British and American military decided to reinforce the plane with more bullet marks according to the distribution of bullet marks. However, statistician Ward believes that more attention should be paid to the parts with fewer bullet marks. Obviously, in the eyes of ordinary people, this is an extremely incredible view. But please don't rush to refute it. Let's think about it: if bullet marks are the key points of the plane and need to be strengthened, then why can the plane survive after being hit many times?
This shows that even if the parts with many bullet marks are damaged, it will not have much impact on the plane, but those parts with few bullet marks may be the key points of the plane, because they did not hit these key points, so the plane survived. It is through this that Ward made such absurd suggestions for those who don't see through appearances. Facts have also proved that Ward is indeed right.
