In this world, anyone wants to succeed. The ancients said, "When God is going to give a great responsibility to this person, he must first suffer his mind and mind, exhaust his muscles and bones, and hungry his body." Only after experiencing various life tests can he become the chosen one. Indeed, the success of anyone is not easy. Only they themselves know the sadness behind those princes who seem to be beautifully dressed in princesses. In history, Jin Wengong Chong'er was the son of Jin State. He also experienced exile and bumpy. He made a promise to the King of Chu to "retreat and give up". Do you know the weight behind the idioms?
The loyalty of gratitude
In people's lives, There are people who are grateful and repay kindness with grievances. Human feelings and warmth are also one of the norms of life. Not everyone has the word conscience ; just as the sentence "poor is in the downtown city and no one cares about it, and rich is in the deep mountains" describes it, life is a variety of life, it's good to get used to everything you encounter ; society is still progressing, which means that the majority of people are still justified, and only the story of Duke Wen of Jin's "retreat and give up" will be promoted by people.
Eastern Zhou In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Zhou royal family declined and the collapse of rituals and music became a normal state. Due to civil strife in Jin, the prince Chong'er was forced to flee. Not every monarch had a strategic vision. On the way to escape, he was also a prince of a big country, and after fleeing to Chu , he was grandly received by Chu. thanks to others' dislike in times of trouble. In that era of fighting for hegemony, Chong'er made a promise to the King of Chu that one day in the future, if he became the king of Jin, if he had a conflict with Chu, he would definitely retreat to repay him.
As a great power in the Spring and Autumn Period, war was inevitable on the road to hegemony. In the end, the battle of Chengpu in Jin and Chu broke out. . The Battle of Chengpu in Jin and Chu broke out. . In order to repay the kindness of the two armies, when the two armies contacted each other, they took the initiative to "retreat three times", that is, retreated ninety miles to show their kindness. The marching speed at that time was only about forty or fifty miles a day. Jin still gave a great sincerity to Chu. , the general of Chu Ziyu thought that Duke Wen of Jin was afraid, and attacked the Jin army, so he committed suicide in shame after defeat. Duke Wen of Jin became the new overlord of . Spring and Autumn .
The credibility of the words is the one that is necessary to say
After defeating the Chu State, Duke Wen of Jin also learned Qi Huan Gong 's "respecting the king and expelling the barbarians", becoming the second overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period, requiring all the princes in the world to " all reward the royal family and have no harm. With this alliance of Yu, the Ming Shenshou "; it can be said that he commands everyone in the world to dare to obey. In addition to the unrivaled national strength of Jin State, there is also the reputation of Duke Wen of Jin's reputation for his loyalty. In that era when rituals and music were broken, a leader who was loyal to the world was the real overlord of the world.
There is no shortage of treason in this world. Interest is the eternal theme. When King You of Zhou Fenghuo played the princes, he had long left the word "First and Righteousness" out of the sky. No wonder no one believed that Fenghuo was a signal of foreign enemies harassment. Duke Wen of Jin not only showed the powerful strength of Jin in the Battle of Chengpu in defeating Chu, but also showed the world his behavior of repaying kindness, which made others understand his image of trust and righteousness.
As the saying goes, "When you say it, you will succeed", what a person needs to achieve success is action and credibility, and without credibility, you will never succeed without action; Duke Wen of Jin was destined to keep his promises at the moment of making a promise. One word is the true king's aura. Without such a demeanor and mind, he is not worthy of being the overlord of the world; any time he loses his reputation, he will bring unimaginable disasters to himself. The short promise of "retreat and give up" is the foundation of the king's foothold.
Conclusion
Confucius What I want to restore in my life is the ritual system of the Zhou royal family. When the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period was the ruler, Xinyi was still the foundation for all countries to establish themselves, and they were also trustworthy in wars; During the Warring States Period, the royal families of various countries used any means to succeed, and occasionally some national letter alliances would make way for the benefit, so that Zhangyi would appear such as ; after experiencing that chaotic era, people also knew the importance of loyalty, and many unwritten rules in later generations were found.
