is the husband, and only one scoop of water can be taken to drink three thousand.
For thousands of years, the most envious and jealous of the scholars and officials: not only did he plan for King Yue and win thousands of miles, successfully realized the "Mioc Dream", wash away the national humiliation, and dominate the East; it also caused him to retreat after his success, take Xi Shi to sail in the rivers and lakes, go into business, become a great wealth, and be honored as the God of Wealth by later generations. Although it is Taoist , it has reached the highest level of life in the so-called "cultivation of unity and governance" (cultivation of oneself, family, country, and world). In the officialdom, battlefield, shopping mall, and love field, we win every game, and we can move forward and retreat every game, and we can get the reward of "ambition" and enjoy "blessings". Who can compare with it from ancient times to the present?
As the first winner in life in the ages, Fan Li has a lot to do with his versatility. In the current terms, it is called extremely high overall quality. People in the Spring and Autumn Period had no idea about economics, but Fan Li had put it into practice. Of course, this was due to his good teacher-- Jiran .
Jiran, Kuiqiu Pu Shangren, surnamed Xin, and his courtesy name is Wenzi, is an exiled young master of Jin . Fan Li learned a lot of economic knowledge from him, such as how to farm, how to build water conservancy, how to control crop diseases and pests, how to manage trade and currency. It is precisely because of these knowledge that Fan Li helped Yue State quickly enhance his strength and surpassed , Wu State .
It is also because of this knowledge that Fan Li fled to Qi before he quickly became rich. After all, if he only got rich once, it could be said that it was due to opportunities, but after he moved to Tao, he could still make a fortune again, and his assets far exceeded the last time, which shows that his success depends on his own talent.
Fan Li was one of the rare "perfect people" in ancient China. He had righteousness to the King of Yue and affection for Xi Shi, which made a country and changed a period of history. Being a government official is a matter of concern for the national economy and people's livelihood, but ancient Chinese officials had to consider more issues, that is, how to protect themselves. Unfortunately, there are few who can start and end well. Fan Li can be said to be one of the best. He can help others to prosper the country, make a fortune, and be able to move forward and retreat easily, which is even rare in the ages. Li Bai said in "Song of Sorrow": "When Fan Zi once loved the five lakes, and he retired by himself after success or fame."
Fan Li is different from other ancient people in his "unstupid loyalty". Under the long-term brainwashing of feudal culture, those who are ministers must be "loyal", such as a type of person represented by Zhuge Liang and . He clearly knew that the later master Liu Chan was a foolish and useless person, but he still devoted himself to his work until his death. When Fan Li saw Goujian being sinister and vicious, he casually "fired" the king.
Moreover, there are two main reasons why Fan Li was able to escape safely from the officialdom:
One is that he did not miss him, and he had been lying on firewood and tasting gall for more than 20 years, and achieved success and fame. He should have enjoyed the fruits of victory, but he left - he still took Xi Shi with him. Even if Xi Shi was taken away, later generations speculated that Fan Li might have a beautiful excuse: "Will you take Xi Shi away without intention? I am afraid that the country will be more confusing." How can a beauty be left to the leader and make him make mistakes? Let me sacrifice it and drink this big pot of water alone. Undoubtedly, such "sacrifice" is enough to make men in later generations salivate and want to imitate.
Second, there is enough advancement and the opportunity is seized early.When Goujian just swallowed Wu, Fan Li pulled away. At this time, Goujian was still immersed in the pleasure of revenge and victory. The matter of hiding the bow and cooking the dog was not mentioned on the agenda. Even if he had this intention, he would not be able to do it at this time.
The opportunity for Fan Li to escape, the Yuan Dynasty Zhao Meng was deeply moved:
"Famous and fame have been a crisis since ancient times, who is like a gentleman who brushes his clothes early? I would like to look for a boat in the five lakes, and the frost yellow wood leaves and geese fly first." ("Inscription on Fan Li's Five Lakes Duling Huahuahua")
This is really a comment that sees through the mystery. To get rid of the "crisis of fame and fame", we must not only be brave enough to "brush the clothes", but also pay attention to the key to "brush the clothes", that is, "early".
The officialdom has always been where most people are unwilling to "brush their clothes".
The reason why I was unwilling to "wash my clothes" was that I was reluctant at first, or I was greedy for fame or profit, and I was always unable to give up. After falling deeper and deeper, I suddenly stepped on a landmine and could no longer get out of it. I exploded as soon as I moved, so I had to stay stalemate and wait for as long as I could. Once many high-powered people lose their authority, they often feel relieved in addition to losing, that is, because the pressure of stepping on the thunder is no longer there.
With China's greatness, there are never a few people who are as talented as Fan Li, but they are as rare as Fan Li. Sima Qian Once sighed, "A man will lose his money when the moon is full, and things will decline when the things are prosperous. It is the constant of heaven and earth. Knowing to advance but not knowing to retreat, long-term wealth and honor will lead to disasters and accumulation of literature. Therefore, when Fan Li left Yue, he did not accept his official position, and his reputation was passed down to future generations. How can he not forget it? Those who advance later are careful to be careful." ("Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Tian Shu")
Fan Li's Bole and colleague Wen Zhong had obviously had a great degree of cultivation in "brushing the robe". After Fan Li was flying with Mei, he left a private message to Wen Zhong: "The birds were gone, and the good bow was hidden; the cunning rabbit died, and the lackeys were cooked. The King of Yue was a man with a long neck and a bird's beak, and he could share hardships with him and troubles, but not enjoy them. Why not go? " ("Records of the Grand Historian: The Family of King Goujian of Yue") This is what he said thoroughly.
Wen Zhong did things, but Fan Li did not do anything at all. After receiving the letter, he said he was "sick and did not pay tribute." This "three no" choice - not resigning, not going to work, not escaping - is really strange: in order to avoid disaster, we should "retire naked ", completely give up our power, it is best to fly away; neither retreating nor going to work, but continue to take on the high merit of "not rewarding" (actually "hard" rewarding) and occupying a position. Is it a pampering act to be a leader or a demonstration? The signals released by the "three no's" are ambiguous and ambiguous. In the extreme asymmetry of the information, how do you plan to let the leader interpret and judge? From this point of view, text type is really good at planning others and clumsy about planning oneself.
Sure enough, "people may slander and cause trouble." In fact, there is no need for others to provoke ("slander"), and the "three nos" itself is a disaster for killing. So, Goujian gave him a sword and said, 'Zi teaches me how to attack Wu for seven techniques. I use the third to defeat Wu, and the fourth is in Zi. I will try it for me to follow the previous king.'Zi then committed suicide."
Hesitated when he was "brushing the yarn", and the action of "brushing the yarn" may have been regarded as a move to pull out a gun. Wen Zhong's death was due to indecisiveness and deformation of his actions. Compared with Fan Li, the difference was divided.
According to the modern people's concept, as a man, Fan Li has indeed realized all the dreams of men in the world: in his career, he can establish a country and build a country, retreat and help the world, and be able to be rich after being in a high position. After being rich and reborn, he dares to disperse his wealth in the whole house; in love, he can win the heart of Xi Shi, the world's number one beauty, and the two respect each other, stay together forever, and be tall and elegant. Four things that life pursues: power, money, beauty, reputation, and it will be remembered forever. As for Fan Li, the four words "winner in life" are no longer enough to describe him.
Xi Shi's stills
The most overwhelming thing is that Fan Li still lives a long life. According to historians' research, he actually lived to be 88 years old, which was an era when "life is rare in seventy years." In other words, when King Goujian of Yue successfully destroyed Wu and restored the country, Fan Li was already an old cadre around 63 years old.The old white-bearded grandfather can also clearly and keenly decide to retreat, stay away from the system, and start a business again. He also has to take on Xi Shi, who is charming and in his prime, and is in his prime. This not only requires a young heart, but also a strong body. No wonder later generations don’t even support the wall and just obey Mr. Fan!
As a scholar, Fan Li realized his ambition to make contributions to the country; as himself, he rode a small boat and pursued his own spiritual paradise. "Loyalty is the country, wisdom is to protect yourself; business is to get rich, and become famous all over the world."
If a man wants to do well, he must have an insight into life early.
