Qi Huan Gong is one of the five spring and autumn tyrants, and the first of the five tyrants.
According to the " Shiji ", the story of the son Xiaobai (Qi Huan Gong) and the son fighting for the throne, and Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya , the story is unforgettable and unforgettable.
Undoubtedly, Qi Huangong used wise means to create a generation of hegemony. He is a very smart and very wise politician.
But there was a person who walked from the court to the hall and pointed out a key issue of Qi Huangong, which made Qi Huangong very angry: if you speak the truth, you will live, if you can't speak it, you will die...
It is Lunbian, a famous craftsman in Qi State. The idiom involved is Lunbianchu [zhuó] 轮——
On this day, Lunbian made wheels under the court, and Qi Huangong recited the classics in the hall.
Qi Huangong shook his head and seemed to read with gusto.
Lun Bian couldn't listen anymore. He put down the vertebral axe, patted the sawdust on his body, and got up.
Lun Bian came to Qi Huangong’s hall and said respectfully:
"Dare to ask, what do you say, what did you read?"?
Qi Huangong looked up and saw that it was a craftsman, and said calmly: "Sage's Words".
Lun Bian asked: "Is the saint still there today?"
Qi Huan did not understand why he asked this question. Some monks couldn't figure it out: "Already dead".
"Then what you are reading is nothing but the dregs of the ancients!"
Qi Huangong originally thought he was here to ask questions, but unexpectedly asserted so!
"Whoever reads a book, a craftsman would dare to talk nonsense?" Qi Huangong was a little angry, and gave "choose one of two", "There is a saying that is acceptable, but it doesn't make sense to put to death!"
However, what made Qi Huangong even more surprised is that ,Lun Bian unexpectedly said such a simple and profound truth!
The wheel flat said: "Let’s use the wheel to make a wheel. If the tenon is too loose, it will not be strong. If it is too tight, it will not be connected.
Only when you are not relaxed can you be comfortable and the whole work process is in accordance with the law.
Among them, the proportion, heat and reason can not be expressed purely in words.
So my biological son cannot master my experience and methods, now I am more than 70 years old
The same is true of ancient things, because the deep truth is hard to explain, so what you read is just the dregs of the ancients."
Nowadays, people speak Chinese The level of ability seems to be very high. You might say that the moral of this story is very simple. It can be summarized as-
One is not to be dogmatic, the other is not to be extreme, the third is that it is too shallow on paper, and the fourth is to be exhausted. Letters, not as good as no books...
Although this answer is quick and comprehensive, even if the answer is very accurate, we still think that it is too shallow, just like Qi Huangong reading the book of a saint.
Under the craze of Chinese studies, people often fall into this misunderstanding when interpreting classics:
You think you understand the truth, but in fact it is only from literal to literal, from paper to paper, from form to form;
do you think I understand all of them, but I don’t really “understand” in fact;
even some experts or so-called masters of Guoxue think that the interpretation is very thorough and very clear, but in fact it is very shallow and very external, but they think they understand, even I simply don’t understand at all, I don’t know how to pretend to understand...
The more fundamental and critical issues include three levels:
First, the ancients said "morality" is a very deep way, not translated into modern Chinese , Translated into the vernacular, even if you understand it, or it is called learning, it may be just a fur, just a blind person touching the elephant;
The second is that even if it is easy to understand, it is easy to hang up and do not practice. ;
Three is easy to say,It's hard to do, and I don't know how to use it, let alone a magical effect.
For Qi Huangong, the key is to read and read meaning.
In Qi Huangong’s circumflex and relish, it actually reflects his taste, focus and understanding, or it is completely unmatched, far away from the words of the saint...
For Lunbian, the key is to be obedient. Listen.
In Qi Huangong's circumcision and relish, Lun Bian may have felt Qi Huangong's self-righteousness, felt Qi Huangong's simple or partial...
