Read "Bow your head and worship the sheep" at night under the lamp.

In the afternoon, a brother visited and had a rest.

Speaking of colleagues or friends around us, most of them are post-60 s, while the backbone of the unit, the leading component of post-70 s, began to step onto the front desk after 80 s, and the fledgling post-90 s is rare.

Looking around, people of our age are gradually stepping into the ranks of the second line, and jokingly, they are also photographed on the beach. In this regard, some people can see, some people can't.

Then, I remembered a poem written by Zeng Guofan to my younger brother Ceng Guoquan.

"Left column bells right slander books, there are multiplication and division methods everywhere in the world. Bow your head and worship the sheep and say everything about space. "

When you make achievements, become famous, or make achievements and become famous, it is followed by slander, slander, slander and splashing dirty water, just because "trees in the forest will be destroyed by the wind."

At this time, we should let go and relax, "bow our heads and worship the sheep."

The story told by Tu Yang comes from "Zhuangzi: Let the King".

Tu Yang said that he was originally an obscure ordinary butcher in the capital market of Chu, who made a living by killing sheep and selling meat. When the State of Chu was occupied by the State of Wu, Tu Yang said that he would follow King Zhao of Chu to escape from the State of Chu and follow the country. Take care of King Zhao's diet along the way. Later, when King Zhao of Chu came back to restore the country of Chu, he would reward those who followed him. At this time, it is not acceptable to slaughter sheep.

Others advised him: "You only kill sheep for a living, and you can get a lot of benefits by being an official."

Tu Yang said, "The reason why I am with King Zhao of Chu is because Chu has perished. With the demise of Chu, I can no longer live by killing sheep and selling meat. Now that Chu has been restored, I can go back to my old job and earn a living in the market to support my family. Why should I be a big official? "

This is what Tu Yang said, a man indifferent to fame and fortune. It can also be said that this is a real hermit, a hermit who is "hidden in the city".

Sometimes, we really need to learn the spirit and mentality of killing sheep.

After reading this poem and this allusion, we can understand Zeng Guofan's self-cultivation kung fu.
