Where does "peaches and plums don't say anything, the next step is to make their own" come from?

The original intention of "peaches and plums don't talk, but go their own way" is that peach and plum trees don't take the initiative to recruit people, but people come to see the flowers, pick the fruits and walk into a path under the tree.

Metaphor is noble, honest, upright, and naturally respected and admired by people without self-promotion.

Excerpt from Historical Records and Biography of Li.

Original text: "Tai Shigong said: Chuanyue:' Its body is upright but not ordered; His body is not straight, although he is not obedient. "That's also called general lee. I have met General Li, who is too modest to say anything. On the day of death, what the world knows or doesn't know is mourning. He is loyal and sincere to the literati. As the saying goes,' peaches and plums don't talk, but they have their own ways'. Although this statement is small, it can be said to be big. "

Interpretation: Tai Shigong said: "The Analects of Confucius said:" People do righteousness without making orders; It is not correct in itself. Even if it is ordered, people will not follow it. "This is general lee. When I met General Li, he was as simple as a countryman and was not good at words.

When he died, everyone in the world mourned for him, whether they knew him or not. His loyalty and sincere heart really made the literati respect him. As the saying goes, "peaches and plums can't talk, but they can step on the path under the tree." This is small, but it can make people understand the truth!

This passage is Sima Qian's high praise for the flying general Li Guang in Historical Records and Biography of General Li. Li Guang has superb defensive ability and noble personality. In Wang Changling's Out of the Fortress, "only make the Dragon City fly, and don't teach Huma to cross the Yinshan Mountain." It's also a compliment to Li Guang.

China is a country with a civilization of 5,000 years, and the evaluation of talents always puts morality first. From Li Guang, we can find what has been lost in today's society. "its body is right, but it does not make; His body is not right, although he does not obey. "

This is the foundation of being a man, and only in this way can it be possible to "speak without saying anything." Be strict with yourself, be pragmatic, be down-to-earth, and contribute silently. In this way, people will naturally welcome and respect him.

Sentence making: As the saying goes, "peaches and plums have their own way out." You don't have to be too impatient.
