If you know it, you can't do it.

First, you know it's not your own work, but you steal the trademark and write your own work under the guise of others' reputation. The preface to Huang Lizhou's "Ming Confucianism Case" says: "Han, Liu, Song Zhiou, Su, Yu Ji of Yuan Dynasty, Yao Gui, all of them have no writings. Also, the loss of ancient books, since the Ming Dynasty, is that the Ming people did not know how to cherish the culture, but the Yuan Dynasty kept it very well. If there are people who say that the Yuan Dynasty did not attach importance to Han culture, please read Zhu Yizun's words: ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… In the Yuan Dynasty, he moved to Pingyang Classics Institute in the capital. Besides, we included the bookshelves of the counties in the south of the Yangtze River, and sent envoys to Hangzhou. We learned that the official bookshelves were engraved in most places ... We were extremely cautious in examining the books collected in the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, and we were responsible for offering books, storing books, surveying books and exposing books. To the Ming Dynasty, with millions of volumes of secretaries, one official keeps an eye on the books of responsibility, and all of them are born, and they don't know how to love them. In addition, it also set up a special branch to cover posts, and the four-son book Yi Shi, the first Zhuzi, followed Chua's book, used Hu's family in the Spring and Autumn Period, and honored Chen's family. Bo lovers stopped at the encyclopedia and dared not touch other families. What is hidden in the secret province, the bandits look at it and listen to it. After a hundred years, there is no book to finish. After a long period of time, the school has left a legacy, but only the local records are left, which are all books after Jialong, and they are not old books at the beginning. The classics are lost, and there are very few ……………………………………………………………………………………………………. Besides, in terms of pure literature, the famous novels "Water Margin" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" both originated in the Yuan Dynasty. It is an indisputable fact that the Yuanqu is radiant. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Quan recorded 566 kinds of zaju, with 187 authors. Excluding some works by Ming people, there were more than 5 kinds. If you add the missing ones, some people estimate that there are as many as a thousand kinds. As for the number of zaju writers in the Yuan Dynasty, according to the "ghost book" and "ghost book", there are more than 2 people. Second, I know I have a little knowledge, but I think I'm smart, and I think man of great talent has to fight with the historical ancients to win or lose

Gan Bao's Search for the Gods is so famous that besides copying it from generation to generation, it's not uncommon to even copy its title. There are at least Tao Qian's Postscript of Searching for God, Tanyong's Theory of Searching for God in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Sou Shen Ji in the Tang Dynasty, Sou Shen Zong Ji in the Song Dynasty, A New Collection of Sou Shen Guang Ji in the Yuan Dynasty, Luo Maodeng's Six-volume Sou Shen Ji in the Ming Dynasty and Jiao Lu's Sou Shen Lu (Sou Shen Lu).

Third, Zi Xia said, "When a villain makes a mistake, he must write. ",do not honestly admit mistakes when doing something wrong, but also argue irrationally

" Zuo Zhuan Xiang Gong Jiu Nian "knows Wuzi:" A gentleman works hard, a villain works hard, and the system of the first king is also. "

They are all opinions far from the orthodox theory of Neo-Confucianism in Song and Ming Dynasties, and there are different opinions on whether it is reasonable or not. Zilu stayed at Shimen. The morning gate ② said, "Xi Zi?" Zi Lu said, "Since Confucius." Yue: "Who knows what it is impossible to do?"

① Shimen: the outer gate of the capital of Lu.

② Morning gate: People who open the city gate in the morning "don't climb mountains, Fuchiyama is the highest;" I don't know how thick the land is if I don't come near a deep stream (Xunzi's exhortation to learn)

"Knowing what I can't do" is only a preliminary judgment based on experience, which is not necessarily accurate, nor is it the actual "impossible". It can only be verified through practice, that is, doing it, that is, practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

if you know what you can't do, you won't do it, which is tantamount to admitting that you don't have to persist in everything, just give up when you encounter difficulties, leave it to fate and let it be. Then there will be no turning the tide, turning Gankun, turning adversity into prosperity, turning crisis into safety, and so on. There is a proverb in English: God helps those who help themselves, which is the truth. In Yao Ming's words, you may not succeed if you work hard, but you will definitely not succeed if you don't work hard. "You can't do it if you know it", which is a profound summary of Confucius. Obviously, the man guarding the city gate is not an idle generation, but a great hermit with high self-cultivation but hidden in the city. Going back to the sentence "knowing what you can't do" itself, this is an idealist's image sketch.

a person knows that what he is doing is promising, so he keeps on doing it and finally succeeds. Although he is a successful person, he is not particularly remarkable.

But a person knows that what he is engaged in will not succeed in his lifetime, but he persists in doing it meticulously, "and the silk-worms of spring will weave until they die, and every night the candles will weep their wicks away." It is very hard and valuable to devote yourself to your beliefs and ideals. Just like the foolish old man moved mountains, and like sisyphus pushed stones up a hillside, saints did not know that "self-denial and self-rehabilitation" had a long way to go, but they traveled around the world, and their spirits remained unchanged. In their later years, they retired to give lectures, still taking the culture of rites and music as the core content and contributing to the implementation of "benevolence". As Ceng Zi said, "Benevolence takes responsibility, isn't it important? Isn't it far after death? " It is this spirit that highlights the characteristics of Confucianism's active accession to the WTO, which is quite different from Taoism, which knows what it is impossible to do. (Morning Gate) It is a kind of know life's learning to know what the world can't do, but to ridicule Confucius and not know what Confucius knows. What the world can't do is providence, but what I can't do is still providence. It's fate to walk in the Tao, but it's also fate for people to walk in the Tao without doing anything. Confucius went to school to get to the top, and went to school, that is, to walk the road. Up to, know life. However, a word from the morning door reveals the sacred heart all his life, sealing people's words ("The Analects of Confucius, Eight Essays, Twenty-four", "Heaven will take the master as the Muduo"), but the heavenly heart will never be happy, and it is beyond his knowledge. (Qian Mu's New Interpretation of the Analects of Confucius)

"A gentleman's official position also carries out his righteousness. If the Tao is not good, it is known. " (The Analects of Confucius)

The so-called "impossible" is not that it cannot be done, but that it is impossible for ordinary people to realize it. It is a "thankless" thing, so it is considered unnecessary to do it. Be sure to see the effect soon before you do it, be sure to benefit yourself first, be sure to benefit all of you, and be sure to benefit the times at that time. Although these situations are different, they are all from the perspective of work. Sages and gentlemen pay attention to morality when they do things, and the realization of their achievements is reflected in morality, rather than amplifying things above morality. If it is not moral, even if there are partial and temporary interests, it will cause serious future trouble. Do things according to morality, even if you can't see the benefits locally or temporarily, but the overall and long-term benefits are among them.

Confucius decided not to do it because of his success, but because he should do it. Confucianism says "doing nothing": one can't do nothing, because everyone has something he should do. However, all these things he did were "doing nothing", because the value of doing these things lies in the doing itself, not in the external results.

"What will the Tao do? Life is also. Will the Tao be abolished? Life is also. " (The Analects of Confucius, Xian Wen)

He tried his best and died. Life refers to destiny, that is, the command or providence of heaven, and it is regarded as a purposeful force. But later Confucianism regarded life only as the condition and strength of all the existence of the whole universe. To achieve external success in our activities, we always need the cooperation of these conditions. But this kind of cooperation, on the whole, is beyond our control. So what we can do is to try our best to do what we know is what we should do, regardless of success or failure. In doing so, it is the "know life".

There are countless examples of making yourself a stepping stone, a paving stone and a prelude to an epoch-making breakthrough in scientific experimental scientific research, artistic creation, theoretical discussion and the formation of a new theoretical system. If you don't know what you can't do, you can't do it, you can't make it happen, you can't make historical progress and scientific progress, you can't have the accumulation and glory of human civilization, and you can't have an epic history. You must have the spirit of knowing what you can't do, and you must have the determination and courage not to be afraid of hitting a wall, failing, taking risks, paying and investing while pursuing success, mystery and high realm.

But there is another point, which is heavy. I must tell readers: Although I firmly believe that virtue is necessary, wisdom, light, mind and realm are all necessary and have wonderful effects, these good things are not destined to be invincible as soon as they appear. Their recognition, their play, application and success still need a process. Before, during and after this process, there are still people who hate virtue and wisdom. The reason is simple: your kindness reflects his or her malice, your wisdom highlights his or her stubbornness, your broadness reminds him or her of his or her intolerance, your light shines on his or her darkness, and your knowledge and eagerness to learn make him or her more confused and ignorant. In this way, your existence has become a challenge to the wicked, stupid and confused people, a great shame to him or her, and a thorn in his or her side. What should we do? Can it be that you are not kind, not good at learning, not smart, not bright, not broad and not wonderful? Can you surrender to stupidity and malice? No, it's impossible. We can only know that it's impossible.
