The old saying goes that it is better to suffer the peach blossom disaster than to get close to the body of a white tiger. Peach Blossom Tribulation and White Tiger Body, what exactly does it mean?
First of all, let’s talk about the Peach Blossom Calamity. The ancients liked to look at astronomy and astrology, and always used astrology to correspond to some things in life. For example, this Hongluanxing was believed by the ancients to correspond to marriage and love, and some people also commonly known as "peach blossom".
This good peach blossom tweed can meet a suitable partner and have a smooth marriage. This is called peach blossom luck; if it is a bad peach blossom tweed, there will be emotional disputes or disasters. This is the peach blossom evil, also called peach blossom disaster.
What are the specific manifestations of the peach blossom disaster? For example, the immortal jumps! You think a wonderful encounter is actually because someone else had planned it, but the result was that he didn't eat the mutton, which made him feel bad. It’s okay if the immortal jumps, it’s just to lose money and eliminate disasters, and there is also a kind of peach blossom that cannot be removed.
For example, a man has married and had children, but has a new relationship outside. In this case, the ancients could only marry and become concubines. Once there are too many concubines, it will cause the family to be uneasy. Finally, there are those who use the peach blossom disaster to destroy others' reputations.
Some famous scholars from the ancients paid great attention to fame, and they also gained respect from the world because of their reputation. So some competitors sent prostitutes to play good women and create opportunities for heroes to save beauty. Then he asked the prostitute to bite him back and said that he was overbearing and that this person's reputation was defeated, and all of these belonged to the peach blossom disaster.
But in the eyes of the ancients, the peach blossom disaster is nothing, what is terrible is the "white tiger body"! White tiger has nothing to do with women, so don’t think too much. In Chinese mythology, the White Tiger is one of the four spirits of heaven and is the god of the West. Our ancient Chinese astronomers have compiled , twenty-eight constellations, , among which the seven constellations in the West, also called the seven constellations in the White Tiger.
Because the ancient festival hall was generally in the west of the Marshal's Mansion, it is also called the White Tiger Festival Hall. This is an important place for military operations in ancient times, so the White Tiger was born into the officialdom. In addition, the White Tiger has another meaning, which is silver. To explain this sentence, we have to start with Hu Xueyan .
There was a businessman named Hu Xueyan in the late Qing Dynasty. He was rich enough to rival a country and entered the political arena, but in the end he was demoted and his home was raided. Before his death, he left three last words, one of which was "Don't get close to the White Tiger". This common saying evolved from Hu Xueyan's last words. But Hu Xueyan didn't have time to explain, so to understand the meaning, we must first review Hu Xueyan's life.
Hu Xueyan's family was very poor when he was a child. He made a living by herding cattle for others. The start was similar to Zhu Yuanzhang's . When his father died at the age of 12, Hu Xueyan went to Hangzhou to work and started his career in Hangzhou. He worked as a small worker and an apprentice, and later became a clerk in Xinhe Money House.
19 years old, he changed jobs to Fukang Money House. The shopkeeper of this money house has no children and is smart and flexible. Hu Xueyan was chosen as his heir. After the shopkeeper passed away, Hu Xueyan owned a money house.
26 years old, he caught up with an official named Wang Youling . When Wang Youling was in a downturn, he received funding from Hu Xueyan. Later, Wang Youling continued to be promoted and began to help Xiao Hu. Hu Xueyan took advantage of the convenience of the government and his business grew bigger and bigger.
Wang Youling died of unfavorable defense in Hangzhou, and Hu Xueyan took the line to Zuo Zongshang again. He helped Zuo Zongshang form an army and was also responsible for resolving the post-war financial crisis. Zuo Zongshang naturally had to protect this little brother, so Hu Xueyan's money house continued to expand.
Later, he entered the medicinal materials and silk tea business, becoming the boss of the business circles in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the richest man in China at that time. He even became a third-rank official and was given yellow jacket . But Hu Xueyan's business empire collapsed in an instant!
Hu Xueyan first helped Zuo Zongshang to start Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau ; when Zuo Zongshang recovered Xinjiang, Hu Xueyan raised military expenses everywhere. After recapturing Xinjiang, he was awarded the title of governor and could wear a second-marathon red top for his merits, so he was also called a red top businessman, which was the peak of Hu Xueyan's life.
, but the good times did not last long. As Zuo Zongshang lost his power and died of illness, Hu Xueyan lost his protection. In addition, he lost half of his property in the raw silk business, resulting in poor turnover of the money house.Those bureaucrats who once called brothers frantically extorted him, and Cixi also took the opportunity to seize the opportunity and dismissed Hu Xueyan's post and searched his home. The giant tycoon who was once rich enough to rival a country has now become a fat man in the eyes of the bureaucratic class. In the end, Hu Xueyan died in poverty and hatred.
Before dying, he had the last words of "Don't approach the White Tiger". Because he felt that his later years were miserable, he was too obsessed with chasing wealth. If he had been at a loss in the past, he would have been able to live a happy life with his family. But then again, after Hu Xueyan took the route from the government, his money was making the same speed as he had a cheat. Who could stop? In the end, it gets deeper and deeper!
Therefore, Hu Xueyan reminded his descendants not to get close to silver, that is, not to do business, the same is true in the officialdom. When he was a commoner, he was extremely eager to enter the officialdom. However, after entering, he found that his colleagues were all fierce and evil tigers. Once you were in a downturn, it would become a delicacy in their mouths, and anyone would tear off a piece of meat from you.
Hu Xueyan's last words will eventually evolve into: "It is better to suffer the peach blossom disaster than to approach the white tiger." The peach blossom disaster will bring some troubles at most, and the White Tiger will kill you, which may make people lose their lives and even endanger their family, so you must be very cautious!
