My opinion on Jianghu culture

I heard that there are rivers and lakes where there are people;

I heard that rivers and lakes are not fighting, but the world;

I have heard that it is better to forget each other than to care about each other.

So, what exactly is Jianghu? After some information inquiry, it turns out that rivers and lakes are also its inherent culture.

Business, a word we are all familiar with, is now business. This is a word derived from Jianghu terminology. Of course, its meaning has also changed a little. The original intention of doing business is to deceive people, just wrapping a coat of small business outside him, and defrauding people of money in this way. Business, cheating business, helping business. In the old society, merchants were divided into eight categories, namely: gold-plated colorful hanging, evaluation group and willow tune.

Jin: Jianghu artists calculate divination by face;

Skin: thread is the general name for selling medicine;

Color: it is a color stall, that is, juggling;

Hanging: practicing acrobatics at fairs and temple fairs;

Comment: Say storytelling;

Tuan: A crosstalk performer. Jianghu people call teasing children with cross talk "Tuan Chun".

Tone: selling opium drugs in the hut;

Liu: Drummer.

Among these eight businesses, lottery, awards, group tours and willows are beneficial to people, mainly for entertainment and enriching people's spiritual and cultural life. In the old society where entertainment was scarce, they were well-deserved artists. The remaining four businesses are all liars. They cheat people of their money by various means and tricks. If they are cheated carelessly, it is because they lack Jianghu experience and think they are unlucky.

Jianghu people are very loyal, mainly in the following aspects:

First, Jianghu people don't cheat Jianghu people. Everyone in the Jianghu is a family, and it is a Jianghu rule that families don't cheat their families. Anyone who breaks the rules is bound to be excluded and isolated by other Jianghu people. An isolated person is very terrible. As the old saying goes, you depend on your parents at home and your friends when you go out. An isolated person can't live outside. There is no place in the Jianghu except to starve to death or go home.

Second, Jianghu people take care of Jianghu people. Come out to run around, do business and take care of each other. Every place has a big Jianghu community. Anyone who wants to make money in this place just needs to sign up for a Jianghu club and have a place to eat and live. Will be arranged in a gathering place where Jianghu people stay. This gathering place does not accept outsiders. If a Jianghu person arrives at a place late and doesn't occupy a good booth to do business, people who do similar business will share the booth with Jianghu people who come late. For example, if you say cross talk, I will say, tell stories, perform in the morning and perform in the afternoon. If this late-comer doesn't want to board the boat with others, then leave. Jianghu people who come early will collect his travelling expenses and practice. Some even buried Jianghu people who died suddenly outside to take care of the parents, wives and children of the deceased. This is the loyalty of Jianghu people.

Third, Jianghu people pay attention to it. Jianghu people are very particular about doing business. They don't bully old people and strangers among their peers, but take care of each other in different industries. When you see older and younger people among your peers, you should avoid them. Because people are old, lack of strength, and the voice of selling and attracting customers is low, it is bound to hurt the income of old businessmen for a young and strong person to do business around the old people. Young man, who has just started business, is inexperienced in Jianghu and needs to be taken care of. Between different industries, juggling is noisy, and storytellers and fortune tellers need to be quiet and not close to each other, which will affect the business of storytellers and fortune tellers.

Fourth, Jianghu people know things. As mentioned above, people from all walks of life will live together, and their jobs are at the door of every industry. If they don't enter the business, they can't spread. Once it gets out, they won't make money in the future. Therefore, Jianghu people should be sensible and stay away from the secrets of their profession when they see that their masters and apprentices are imparting artistic significance and doorways. If you peek, it is a violation of the rules of the rivers and lakes, and you will be excluded and punished by everyone.

Jianghu people have an independent language system, which is called "Spring Point" and "Teasing Children", also called "Jianghu terminology" and "slang". People outside the Jianghu can't understand it. There is an old saying: it is better to give a spring than a certain amount of gold. The role of spring is very important. He is necessary for a person to walk in the rivers and lakes. He can't stand without a spring. Jianghu people will "tell the truth" when they meet, and ask and answer questions with the vernal equinox. If the other party is a Jianghu person, it is a family, and they will get the care and help of Jianghu people and be treated loyally. In this way, Chundian is the identity authentication of Jianghu people. In view of this, Spring Festival travel rush cannot be taught to people outside the Jianghu. Once people outside the Jianghu master the Spring Festival, the business of Jianghu people will suffer big losses, so there is a saying that "it is better to give a certain amount of money than a spring".

There are other benefits of the Spring Festival, such as the exchange of experience between Jianghu people. Even people outside Jianghu (called Kong) can't get information from the language of Jiang Laker. This is especially important for Jianghu people in games. If the "defendant" knew the inside story, he would not be deceived. Therefore, the spring point is a tool for information transmission between people in rivers and lakes.

Somehow, the use of the Spring Festival is getting less and less. Many people inexplicably delay the Spring Festival, and there is no inheritance between master and apprentice. Soon, this language will disappear. Maybe there are fewer people wandering in the rivers and lakes now, and the accommodation conditions are better. You can find a suitable place and time to talk, so you don't need to spend energy studying Spring Festival travel rush.

360 lines, each line is a champion. This sentence is now understood as any industry can make money and can achieve the ultimate. However, a few people in every line can earn money and become the best in the industry; Most of them can't make money and become cannon fodder in the industry. Why is the same industry so different? The fundamental reason is that "leaders" have mastered the tricks and tricks of this industry and are handy in doing business. "Cannon fodder", I don't know the tricks of this industry, but it can only be cannon fodder.

There are two ways to get the knack. One is to learn about it slowly, summarize it slowly, try and make mistakes constantly, and finally get a way to make money. This method is very expensive and requires a lot of trial and error. Many times, I starved to death before it was realized. Another method is mentoring. This "teacher" is a "master" rather than a "master", and the relationship between master and apprentice is more than blood. Master must pass on the know-how of this business to his disciples so that they can earn money to support their families. Disciples should also take Master as their parents, help the old and take care of the young, and do their best.

The apprentice's respect for the master is not artificial, but from the heart. I sometimes think, why? Can you say that an apprentice has noble personality and moral character? Later, I found out that it was because of Master. Master will take good care of all his disciples, teach them skills and tricks, Spring Festival travel rush, and let them walk around the Jianghu and have the ability to eat before they can stand on the Jianghu. Apprentices have different talents, but master can certainly provide the most stupid apprentice with basic living security. If an apprentice is talented and attentive, it is his nature. Therefore, there is a saying that "the master leads the door and the practice depends on the individual".

From this, it can be seen that Master gave rice bowls, and as a disciple, he must have great respect for those who gave rice bowls. Because my life path will be pointed out by master, without master, there will be no food behind. My parents gave me flesh and blood, and Master gilded the blood of flesh and blood. There is no reason not to respect Master.

Having said that, I really want to talk about the so-called "gratitude" now. Gratitude is not necessary. If you are a little nicer to others, is it abnormal to ask others to be grateful? "Grateful" is to let the other person be grateful first. As for how you can make the other person feel grateful, that's your problem. You ask the other person to be grateful to you, but the other person doesn't feel grateful. Isn't that bullshit? When there is a problem, don't always think that the problem is the other side. It is most important to reflect on yourself. As a leader, elder and master, you should know this better than your subordinates, younger generations and apprentices.

Jianghu has Jianghu culture, and Jianghu has Jianghu rules. It is precisely because everyone abides by such culture and norms that we can keep a living space in a complicated society. Jianghu people may not know each other well, but they all know that their teachers will help and take care of them. The enlightenment to me is that we must make good friends, be as loyal as Jianghu people, and do what we should do. "Every time a dog is killed, it is mostly a scholar." Because dog butchers are Jianghu people, but literati are not. I want to be an upright scholar.
