After reading Mr. Wang Liqun's new book "Xiang Yu Reading Historical Records in Wang Liqun", I felt a touch in my heart, as if I had crossed the boundary of time and space, and projected the shadow of Xiang Yu in my heart, vaguely seeing the sunset of that era ... Xiang Yu had too many regrets, or people who should have become heroes failed to become real heroes. However, his qualities determined that it was impossible for Xiang Yu to realize the unification of China's imperial industry in his life, and the hard-earned world could only be handed over to Liu Bang. No matter what the real reason for Xiang Yu's failure is, after reading this book, I think Xiang Yu and even Chu Han's hegemony have the following inspirations for modern enterprise management:
1, fight alone and always work as a team;
The old saying "one hero and three gangs" is vividly reflected in Xiang Yu and Liu Bang. The former is a failure and the latter is a success. Have you noticed that there are many talents around Liu Bang, including Sean, Chen Ping and Xiao He, as well as Han Xin, Fan Kuai and Peng Yue. It was these civil servants and military commanders who fully made up for Liu Bang's lack of personal ability, formed a good complementary team, and finally achieved the imperial industry. On the other hand, Xiang Yu was definitely the champion of singles at that time, and he was a veritable overlord, but there were also several right-hand men around him who really came in handy. What we can remember seems to be only "father" Fan Zeng and "uncle" Xiang Bo. The former is not a senior counselor to tell the truth, and the latter is "eating inside and picking outside", and rescued Liu Bang, a "in-laws" who was deeply in crisis for more than three times.
2, leaders should always guard against arrogance and rashness:
Xiang Yu is the creator and destroyer of hegemony. Because of his super ability, Xiang can hardly see talented people in his eyes and heart, and he can hardly see the strengths of others. Xiang Yu's "when I hate you the most", "willfulness", "narrow-minded" and "improper sealing" are well known to women and children. Here I just want to point out a fatal weakness of his character: easy to get angry. Throughout the Historical Records, the two most commonly used words about Xiang Yu are "anger" and "great anger". "Biography of Xiang Yu" records that Xiang Yu only laughed once in his life, that is, Wujiang laughed before committing suicide. In fact, Xiang Yu's weakness is more or less reflected in the entrepreneurs and managers of many enterprises. In any case, no matter how great and successful yesterday was, we should guard against arrogance and rashness, and never become a stumbling block for enterprises to continue to create brilliance.
3. Forever strategy > tactics:
Compared with Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, Xiang Yu is a person who lacks the overall strategic view, and Liu Bang, with the help of Sean and others, has achieved the initial strategic layout step by step. Xingyang campaign is a typical example. In this 28-month-long Chu-Han hegemony, Xiang Yu's fatigue is an obvious manifestation of "emphasizing tactics without strategy" and "emphasizing one city and one pool without the overall situation concept" Although the battle of Xingyang ended in Xiang Yu's victory on the surface, the real winner was Liu Bang. In addition to "dividing the gap between the two sides and the Chu-Han border", Han Xin also controlled a vast area north of the Yellow River.
4. Learn the advantages of competitors with an open mind:
On personal talent, Xiang Yu should be better than Liu Bangqiang. But one of the key factors for the second-rate Liu Bang to finally defeat the first-rate Xiang Yu is Liu Bang's "three virtues": good listening, good use and good reward and punishment. Translated into modern Chinese, Liu Bang is a good listener. Can put the right person in the right position; Reward outstanding leaders, the difference is obvious. On the other hand, Xiang Yu, none of these three elements can get a "passing score". So the final outcome can be imagined. This also applies to modern enterprises and entrepreneurs, and attaches importance to competitor research. Whether it is systematic benchmarking, competitor analysis or competitor intelligence collection, it should always be an enterprise.
Bloom flowers fall, leaves fall to the roots, it is inevitable that it is a bit bleak; After the rain clears, birds sing together, which makes people happy. Since ancient times, it has been inseparable from emotions and customs. Looking back at the flowers and the moon last night, the past has become history after all, but it belongs to itself and is too ordinary. Known as "the swan song of historians", Historical Records is a masterpiece written by Sima Qian after tens of thousands of sunrises and sunsets. Just snow and moon, lonely boat and tears, be immersed in love for children are all behind. Even though the Gobi desert and stormy waves have all passed away, they are just the scenery on the road of life and seem to be full of crises. For Sima Qian, it must be even more embarrassing.
I like such people, such courage, such a soul. From the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there are many friendships, many helplessness, many grandeur and many truths. Who dares to touch those extraordinary history? You know, as a historian, what you need is the shattering and persistence of life. It was Sima Qian, a brave man and a hero, who shouldered this mission with his own shoulders and devoted his life to this mission, to the ancients and to the newcomers. I only left a healthy spirit, an unyielding and forever moving soul.
It's really so unfinished. Reading Historical Records is not only about its content, but also about its spirit and the author's personality charm. Seeing its heroic style spanning times and time makes me feel grateful and want to embrace miracles. I like this realm, this legend, this feeling, the painstaking efforts between the lines, or lighter than a feather, or more important than Taishan's brushwork, and wrote pages, articles, legends and beautiful legends.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the King of Qin seized power, and what I read was that kind of domineering; Embattled on all sides, Qu Yuan threw himself into the river, and I read its vicissitudes. Xi Li, in troubled times; Daughter laughs, ridiculous and shameful; Cross the rubicon and go forward bravely; It is a great pleasure to return to Zhao safely. It covers the political, military, economic, cultural and historical trends of more than 3,000 years, as well as the deeds of emperors, generals and scholars.
I like this language, so rich and colorful. The language of Historical Records is rich and colorful, with the washing and training of ci and fu, the fluency of prose and the warning strategy of essays, and its language style is also the essence. It is no exaggeration to say that Historical Records has the wisdom of historical lessons, the brilliance of poetry, the delicacy of mathematics, the profundity of natural history, the solemnity of ethics and the eloquence of logical rhetoric.
I don't know how to compare this magnificent masterpiece, and I can't find out what kind of mentality to read it. In other words, as long as you have free time, even if you read Historical Records hundreds of times, you will still have different feelings and experiences. This is a great treasure of the Chinese nation. It's simple to keep in mind. To integrate yourself into that era, only historical records can edify you.
I am more into history, and different legends are constantly evolving on the same land. Tracing back to the source, this heavy and solemn text records everything. Now, it will come alive from the dust and appeal to the myth that China is not old. Outside the window, it is a tall building, a mansion, and a technology of 2 1 century. Looking up at the blue sky is still the scene of the past, perhaps annihilation is dusty and even more stirring. Traveling around Qian Shan is not as good as tasting a word-everyone will die, or it is heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather.
I admire Sima Qian's profound writing of Historical Records, every hero in Historical Records and China's rich and long history. Today, I finally finished reading a thick Historical Records. After reading this book, I really gained a lot.
This Historical Records records the history of more than 3,000 years from the Yellow Emperor to the early years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Its narrative is concise and vivid, which is very attractive. Historical Records is a historical record with great Gao Wenxue value. Its literary value lies in the use of real historical materials and the successful creation of many distinctive characters. In characterization, Sima Qian truly achieved the unity of history, characters and themes, which not only made history alive, but also made characters alive. After reading every story, it seems that every character appears in front of my eyes. He is also very good at depicting characters' characters through their words and deeds. In my opinion, the language of Historical Records really deserves to be regarded as an achievement of later "ancient prose".
In the book Historical Records, the story that impressed me the most was the story of five sheepskins. This story mainly tells: During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qin Mugong, who cherished talents, exchanged five sheepskins with Chu people in order to redeem the clever and talented Priscilla. Finally, Qin Mugong redeemed his favorite minister, Priscilla. After reading this story, I understand a truth: everything should be thought from a different angle, just like Qin Mugong in the article. If he redeemed Prissy with a large sum of money, the Chu people would think that Qin Mugong valued him very much and wouldn't exchange him easily. But if you exchange five sheepskins, the Chu people will definitely despise Priscilla and agree to exchange. Clever Qin Mugong thought about this problem from different angles, and finally got what he wanted. I think I should learn from Qin Mugong.
To sum up, in the book Historical Records, I learned about the great history of China for five thousand years. At the same time, I also learned a lot of knowledge and gained a lot of fruits. I think the book Historical Records is worth reading.
