This sentence sounds like superstition, but it is not. The wisdom of the ancients really cannot be underestimated. So what does the ancient saying mean by the saying "It is better to suffer the peach blossom disaster than to get close to the body of a white tiger?"
Peach Blossom Tribulation , it is easy to understand. In modern times, when we talk about a relationship, or have a relationship entanglement, we will also say that we have committed the Peach Blossom Tribulation. To put it in a saying, this person is lucky to have a love life again, which shows that this is a relatively good reputation among the opposite sex. The explanation for love is that when the peach blossom disaster, it means that people encounter emotional entanglements that make people feel troubled. Some people are still willing to accept things like
. Although it brings them troubles, it is very boring to live a lifetime without anything. No matter how many such things are, it is just that the mind is hurt or mental depression is over for a period of time. Generally, there will be no situation of human life. However, if the White Tiger is close to it, there will be a worry about life. So what is the "White Tiger"?
If you want to know the white tiger, you must first know, this sentence " left Qinglong , right white tiger, front Vermillion Bird , back Xuanwu ." What is this? This is the Four Spirit Mountain Art. The so-called blue dragon on the left and white tiger on the right is when we look forward from the mountain, and we have a backer on both sides, just like a person stretching out his arms and embracing the open space in front. The left Qinglong represents masculine and male. The position of Qinglong is strong and prosperous, which means that the nobles have the power to suppress. The white tiger position on the right represents femininity and represents female. The White Tiger is strong and prosperous, which means that it has strong feminine power. These are all ancient myths and legends. The White Tiger here means the same, but it is still a bit different from the White Tiger we are talking about now.
Today we actually refer to the red-topped businessman Hu Xueyan in the late Qing Dynasty. Hu Xueyan is not an ordinary path, especially in feudal society. If you want to do business with the government, you must have a strong backing. Although it is profitable, it is not that easy. Hu Xueyan's success is because he dares to do business with the government, and failure is also because he fails in the officialdom. What's going on? What does it have to do with the "White Tiger"?
In 1882, Hu Xueyan, who was already an official, wanted to monopolize the national raw silk , but because he monopolized the interests of other powerful people and foreign merchants, he was jointly resisted. In addition, the Sino-French War that year and the raw silk harvest in Italy and other places, under the influence of a series of external factors, Hu Xueyan declared bankruptcy.
Just one or two years after he declared bankruptcy, the court announced his house to be raided. Since then, Hu Xueyan has been unable to afford to be ill. When he was about to pass away, he called all his descendants and descendants to them, saying, "Don't get close to the White Tiger", and then he passed away. So what does Hu Xueyan mean when he said "Don't get close to the White Tiger"? In fact, it is just warning his descendants not to follow him and follow the path he took before. What path should he do? It is to be an official and do business.
Hu Xueyan’s “white tiger” here is actually a waste of money. Doing business is the most risky thing, and he is an official of the court, so he will be doomed if he is not careful. That's why there is a saying that "I would rather suffer the peach blossom disaster than be close to the white tiger." After all, a relationship may not necessarily lead to death. If you fail in business, you can make a comeback. However, if you become an official and still do business, you will be in a different position if you are not careful.
His descendants also listened to him. Among his descendants, almost no one was doing business, and no one entered the official career.
