Guiguzi "Six Sections" / He Yongqi

Original text: The way of the shut-in, with yin and yang to test it, so with the yang words, according to its noble, and with the yin words, according to its humility.

The following seeks small, and the high seeks large. In other words, everything is out, everything is in, everything is possible. It can be said about people, about family, about the country, and about the world.

For the small without the inside, for the big without the outside; the gains and losses, just go, double the opposite, all with yin and yang to control its things.

Yang moves and walks, Yin stops and hides, Yang moves out, Yin hides in. Yang also ends yin, and the cathode is anti-yang.

Those who move with yang are born with virtue, and those who are quiet with yin are also formed by form. It is the gateway of the round square.

Note: Here Guiguzi talks about the actual usage of "捭阖", which also confirms the conclusion reached earlier: Guiguzi's wisdom comes from his observation and reflection on yin and yang. This is confirmed here.

There is a strange phenomenon! Although Guiguzi is talking about the use of the shut, we find that his understanding of "yin and yang" and "Tao" is very profound. This shows that Guiguzi's wisdom goes far beyond his writings themselves.

That is to say: "Guiguzi • Guiguzi" does not completely show the wisdom of Guiguzi! The chapter may only be the tip of the iceberg in the wisdom of Guiguzi.

Guiguzi's language and thoughts are the condensation of wisdom, and the whole Guiguzi still has not finished expressing his wisdom. It is only one aspect of Guiguzi's thoughts. His wisdom stands out in addition to strategy......

In general, there is just one point: the whole Guiguzi only embodies his "essence"; Especially in the examination of events, situations, and situations, Guiguzi's wisdom is particularly prominent.

- This is the manifestation of "fine".

In this way, Guiguzi will not suffer. Unless he would rather suffer, he will never lose.

Guiguzi can see the "cause" of the development of things, and he can also see the "effect" behind it, which is amazing.

The essence of Guiguzi is mainly manifested in "personnel". That is to say: he sees the affairs, situations, and situations between people very clearly. In terms of personnel, Guiguzi is worthy of being a saint, and he is a well-deserved king of "sophistication".

Therefore, those who speak with yang are noble according to them, and those who speak with yin are humble according to them.

What is he talking about here?—— he said: The affairs, situations, and situations of people are similar to the operation of yin and yang. Silently, invisibly, but secretly, it determines the growth and decline of all things.

This is an explanation: Guiguzi's understanding of yin and yang is very profound! Otherwise, he would not have used yin and yang to expound "捭閖."

If he can use yin and yang to explain it?—— then he must have a clear understanding of yin and yang. Guiguzi has this point, and his understanding of yin and yang is very profound......

Anyway, the Tao of Guiguzi is different from the Tao of Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu's "Tao" is the way of heaven! The Tao of Guiguzi is ?—— humane ,—— sophistry.

Guiguzi embodies his wisdom in the "potential", and he can see the cause of the situation, the situation, and the situation. Not only can he see through the "cause", but he can also know the "effect" behind it, which is his power.

Let's put it this way, if Guiguzi wants to fight the world, then the world will be his. Except for Lao Tzu, Guiguzi has no opponents. I still like Lao Tzu!

Guiguzi said: The way of closing should be like the operation of yin and yang, secretly, quietly, and unconsciously, which is Guiguzi's requirement for "closing down".

This also highlights an important point: the hunter, the layout, and the lower set are not only interlocking, but also secretive.

The "bureau" must be made into the appearance of the "Tao", silently, silently and intangibly, and often affects the law of the growth of all things, which is the "Tao". Hunters, layouts, and sets ?—— should also operate like "Tao".

This is Guiguzi's requirement for the squeeze, only in this way can the "bureau" be free from the limitations of space, so as to be invincible.

It can be said that most of the students of Guiguzi are geniuses. Those who practice Guiguzi must have a high level of "wisdom"! Otherwise, they will not be able to meet Guiguzi's requirements for "squeezing."

Judging from ancient history, there are only two people who can be called strategic wizards: one is the military strategist Sun Wu, and the other is the strategist Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang's strategy is very deep, this is a genius among strategists. Sun Wu was tactically advanced in military affairs, and he was a general in the military field. Whether it is Zhuge Liang or Sun Wu, the two of them have one thing in common, that is, "planning", and the strategy is very deep.

General summary: These two people are strategists, Zhuge Liang is a specialist, Sun Wu is "planning and use", Sun Wu really combines strategy with practice. He used "conspiracy" to guide the war.

Sun Tzu's Art of War said: If you don't plan something, you won't stand. Here we can see Sun Wu's understanding of "planning", which is the key to success or failure.

Sun Tzu said in the Art of War: When two armies fight, there is a lot of difference between planning and not planning. If you don't seek ?—— win or lose, you will lose, and victory or defeat depends on luck.

In this way, "wisdom" will have no effect in combat. Victory or defeat is completely determined by strength, which family has more soldiers and more generals, will win ironcladly, there is no suspense. Attention! This understanding is wrong in Guiguzi's view. Guiguzi is talking about "wisdom", and having more soldiers and generals is only one aspect of success or failure, and relying only on more soldiers and generals will lose, and they will lose very badly.

Sun Wu said: Although the success or failure of a war is related to the number of soldiers and generals, it is not absolute. As long as the plan is thoughtful, less can win the strong; if the plan is not in place, the strong will lose.

I believe everyone knows the story of the siege of Wei and the rescue of Zhao, and this battle is very famous, and it also proves Sun Wu's point of view. The soft is better than the steel, the weak is better than the strong, the key is still in the "strategy", the ...... Very important!

Guiguzi said: The way to close is to try it with yin and yang. It is said here that the situation, the current situation, and the situation are constantly changing, and its trend is constantly hovering between strong and weak. The layout of the strategist must be unpredictable, and the "bureau" must also be "alive".

Only if the "game" is alive can it adapt to different environments, then the opponent will be unable to guard against it.

The hunter, the layout, the next set, the game must be alive; the master layout is always prepared with both hands! The front hand hunts others, and the back hand is the way out.

A plan, two hands to prepare, the right hand to hunter, the left hand is the way out. Only care about the present, not the behind? There is only one death. This must be remembered clearly, and it must not be sloppy.

Therefore, those who speak with the yang are noble according to them, and those who speak with the yin are humble according to them. Here it is said: Spend time with those who are virtuous, and rely on their exaltation (prestige).

Use their prestige to improve your reputation. In this way, others will gradually come to you (trust).

For example, if you have a bad reputation, others will avoid you, and no one will want to deal with you. Your path is very narrow at this point, and no one wants to do business with you. I always suffer when I cooperate with you, and people are afraid of you.

What should you do?—— no one will cooperate with you? You will be alone, and there will be no benefit? There will be no "benefit" at all.

I tell you, "There's a way!" You can improve your reputation. Use "sincerity" to approach those who are highly respected, and often soak with them, and over time, these people will bring your reputation to you.

Virtuous people don't need to speak for you, the people around you can find the answer by looking with their eyes.

You use the "reputation" of a virtuous person to mingle with him! Over time, your credibility will be established. At this time, your business is alive again, and the profits are there.

Therefore, those who speak with the yang are noble, remember, by the credibility of those who are famous, and your reputation will be slowly established.

If someone with a reputation dislikes you?—— it's okay, use "sincerity" to move him. Do what he likes, slowly impress him with "sincerity", and after a long time, he will naturally change his opinion of you.

You only need to stand next to a virtuous person and do not need him to speak for you, and others can get the answer with their eyes. Your purpose is to pull the banner and pull the tiger's skin! Over time, other people's perception of you will change. In this way, your reputation will be established, and what will happen to you after you have it?—— your path will be wide.

Important: You should always be with a virtuous person and use his prestige to build your credibility. Building credibility doesn't take a day or two, and it takes at least six months for someone to change their opinion of you.

When you have nothing to do, sit with a moral person, eat, drink tea, and increase your exposure; this respected person is your "living advertisement".

Seeing that I haven't ?—— Guiguzi is to teach you how to "plan" things, situations, and situations. In different situations, you can help you stop losses and turn over.

Summary: If you are a moral person, you should use his prestige, and use his prestige to improve your credibility, so that there will be more people doing business with you.

You are equivalent to "pulling the banner and pulling the tiger's skin", often standing with a famous person, who can decorate your façade. It's a great way to build credibility that you need to be able to "use".

Your purpose is to use his prestige to elevate yourself, and when your reputation is good, your "profit" will come out.

With the whisperer, according to his humility, you are with the one who makes a living by shady means, remember to use his "darkness". This kind of person is afraid of the light, so to speak, he dies when he sees the light, and you use his "might" to do your own thing. Note: Different people have different uses, the key is this "person", how do you use it.

People who make a living by dark means have strengths and weaknesses, and their strengths are that ordinary people hide from them, and their disadvantages are that they die shortly. Ha ha!

The purpose of the shut-off is to "make profits", and if it is advantageous, it is necessary to make a shut-up. You must always be a "wise man" and don't be trapped by events, situations, and situations.

A profound strategist is not affected by events, situations, or situations, and he comes and goes freely. Hehe, you can't catch the master!

There is another important point here: those who speak in the dark must know how to "hide". That is to say: you have achieved a certain status by shady means, and then you will be "hidden". It's the best way to save your life.

Yin stops at hiding, and this "hiding" is hidden. It has two meanings:

First, the first meaning of hiding is "hidden", and if you achieve the position of boss, you should be "hidden". Generally wash your hands and change careers, don't covet the title of "boss";

Second, zang also means "quiet", "quiet" - "to wait." When the market is uncertain, what you have to do is not to "move", but to "be quiet" - wait for the situation to be clear. This is your best bet, and it will affect the whole body. Stillness is the best lesson when it's uncertain.

Annotation - "hidden" has two meanings: the first is "hidden", and the second is "quiet", which you must remember clearly! It is very important to you.

He tells you, "You have to know how to hide," and this "hidden" means "hidden" on the one hand, and "quiet" on the other.

People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and it is only a matter of time before you hunt you, not "hidden". It's important to see ?—— "hidden".

One plan, two hands to prepare, the front hand to hunt others, the back hand is their own way out.

Two cards, the king always holds in his right hand. The front hand cloth "game" fails, and the left hand can still save you from escaping.

Guiguzi's thinking is "rational", which makes his thinking able to solve the contradictions in reality. "Reason" here is the key! Rational thinking abandons all unrealistic illusions. In this way, under the domination of rational thinking, what is "planned" will not be "emotional fantasies".

Don't let your emotions sway your judgment, as that will lead to irrational results (contrary to the essence). The result of irrationality is "wrong".

The mode of thinking of Guiguzi attaches great importance to "reason," and reason is the core of Guiguzi's thinking.

Here's what it says: no matter what role you are, no matter what level your status is, you must strive for "excellence".

It doesn't matter who you are! No matter what kind of person you are, strive for excellence.

For example, you're a thief? You're stealing a needle, that

Your goal is to steal the country (strive for excellence).

Another example: if you are a briquette, then you must strive for excellence! Your goal is to build rockets.

In short, it is: the pursuit of excellence, to achieve the limit! This is Guiguzi, the highest requirement for "squeezing".

In other words, everything is out, everything is in, everything is possible. It can be said about people, about family, about the country, and about the world.

There is a premise here, only after you have achieved "excellence" can you form an "invincible" situation at this time. How to do it?—— strive for excellence! Do it to the limit - you are invincible.

This creates a situation in which everything is present, everything is pervasive, everything is possible. At this time, you will become: you can say (shui) people, you can talk about home, you can talk about the country, you can sleep in the world.

Only after you reach the limit can you form an "invincible" situation in the future. - Remember, excellence and the limit are in the front, and invincibility is in the back, and they cannot be reversed. It is divided into before and after, and only after you have reached the limit can you enter the state of "invincible".

For the small without the inside, for the big without the outside, the profit and loss, to go, the reversal, all with yin and yang to control its things.

Note: Here is still mentioned "strive for the limit", Guiguzi gives a concept of "big and small"; what concept ?—— you do small, there is no "core" to do, and small should be so small that there is no center point (limit).

To be big?—— to be big has no edge, this is Guiguzi's highest requirement for "shutting down". Push to the limit, no matter where you are.

So where did Guiguzi's understanding of "捖閖" come from?—— the answer is "yin and yang"; Guiguzi was inspired by his reflection on yin and yang.

Yin and yang are invisible, intangible, and secret. Everything in the world, including people, is "born" from the operation of yin and yang.

Guiguzi saw its role from yin and yang, and all things not only came into being with yin and yang, but yin and yang also determined the decline and fall of all things, which was the work of yin and yang.

In the view of the ancients, yin and yang determine the fate of all things, including people, and are also affected by yin and yang.

From here, it can be seen that Guiguzi has a very deep understanding of yin and yang. He can use yin and yang to explain "捭阖", which shows that his understanding of yin and yang is very transcendent. We don't know how Guiguzi became a talent, but his way of thinking is very special! This is inseparable from the background of the times.

It's really the times that create heroes, and in the era of Guiguzi, there were many "saints".

What kind of education did you say Guiguzi? On the other hand, what method was used to train so many great thinkers in that era?

- This is worth thinking about, and it is also worth asking.

But one thing is certain, that is: Guiguzi's observation and reflection on yin and yang condensed his wisdom. That is to say: Guiguzi's use of "捖阖" comes from his understanding of yin and yang.

Do you know?—— Guiguzi's observation and reflection on yin and yang helped him improve his wisdom (thoughts). The whole Guiguzi is the result of his understanding of the "Tao" of yin and yang.

If yin and yang are a tree of wisdom, then "shutting" is the fruit that bears from this tree.

Guiguzi saw this tree, and through observation and reflection, his thoughts were sublimated!

There are several key points here, which are divided into several steps: the first step is yin and yang, the second step is Guiguzi, the third step is Guiguzi's reflection on yin and yang, and the fourth step is the result.

This is how the wisdom of Guiguzi comes from: 1 Yin and Yang, 2 Reflection, 3 Result = Close. Note that the "fruit" is the "fruit", and the yin and yang are the "tree".

Summary: The whole Guiguzi is a "fruit", and the fruit is not there from the beginning. It comes from Guiguzi's "observation and reflection", and the final summary is "Closing the Door".

Through the observation and reflection of yin and yang, Guiguzi condensed the "捭阖" (the method of seeking things).

Lao Tzu's "Dao" comes from heaven, and Guiguzi's "Dao" comes from Yin and Yang, which are different.

Lao Tzu's wisdom is manifested in "Guang", and Guiguzi's wisdom is expressed in "Jing". Lao Tzu's wisdom is broad and vast, all-encompassing, and Guiguzi's wisdom is "refined" and specialized.

Compared with Lao Tzu and Guiguzi, Lao Tzu is superior; Lao Tzu's heavenly way, Guiguzi's humanity. Hehe, I still like Lao Tzu.........

Yang moves and walks, Yin stops and hides, Yang moves out, Yin hides in. It is said that yang is always dominant, and the key to yang is "movement", which is a symbol of positivity and vitality.

Yang has a strong stamina, you can't see it on the surface, you think it's dying, and when you move it, it's the first thing to be extinguished. The law of yang is "strong" in the middle state, and at the end, its stamina is very explosive, and the decline of yang is death.

Yin - The strength of Yin is also in the middle state, and gradually decays at the end, and there is no explosive power. Its death is "stillness".

There is a strange phenomenon here, whether it is yin or yang, they end in death. Moreover, the state of yin and yang at the end is different. The death of Yang is called "extinguishment", and the death of Yin stops at "stillness"; Yang is true death, and Yin is fake death.

Note: Yin and Yang, the death of Yang is true death, Yin death tends to be "quiet", Yin is fake death.

Here is another conclusion: the end of the universe is "yin", and the death of yin ends in "stillness". Well, the future of the universe is also static.

Note: This "stillness" of yin is its form after death, and the end of the universe tends to be "stillness", that is, stop.

Quiet: It means that there is nothing, no space, no time, no concept, this is a world of "nothing". Nothing – is what the universe was like at the beginning.

Now there is another contradiction: since the death of yin is stillness and nothingness, where does "yang" come from?

In this way, it seems that "material perpetuity" is true, but it is not possible. Because matter is consumed, it cannot last forever!

However, the "yang" still cannot be explained, for example, how did the matter in the universe come about, how did the earth and other planets come about?

One life is yin, two are yang, and three are all things, and this "three" is the dynamic transformation, and yin and yang interact to give birth to all things.

The yin and yang alone are dead, and the "interaction" between the two of them brings them to life. In this way, yin and yang have the ability to give birth to all things (interaction).

Profit and loss: always review the changes in the situation, evaluate the damage from time to time, and be aware of it.

On the one hand, it refers to adapting to the changes in the situation and making adjustments to one's profession.

Another aspect of "going for" also refers to taking the initiative to find the positive side in the situation, and then doing things.

Doubling: This is a last-minute strategy, the mountain is pressing, and the situation is very unfavorable to you. Now it's time to give up on your career or goals. That is to say: in the general environment, when people accuse you, you also have to blame yourself, and choose "profit" by the trend.

Yang moves and walks, Yin stops and hides, Yang moves out and hides in.

Yangdong: After observing the opportunity, we must take action and make action. Yin is much more difficult to operate than yang! The main thing is to grasp the situation. Those who seek a career by shady means must know how to hide after the deed is accomplished. "Hide" here does not mean not to do things, but to wait.

Yang is also yin, and the cathode is anti-yang, which refers to the law of "tense". No matter what kind of lobbying you are engaged in, there is no general who always wins, and this is a foregone conclusion.

Yang also ends yin, and the cathode is anti-yang.

Those who move with yang are born with virtue, and those who are quiet with yin are also formed by form. It is the gateway of the round square.

Summary: Yang is always dominant, and Yang represents light and justice. Yin is the origin of the universe (the initial form) of the universe, although it carries "negativity".

This also tells us a truth: those who make a living by shady means, you must know how to "hide", understand to "hide", and know how to "be quiet", otherwise it will not last long.

Guiguzi's "Close" is to teach you how to deal with things, situations, and situations, and it shows you a way.

It's still the same sentence: don't covet the name "boss", learn to "hide", learn to "hide", learn to "quiet", when the position reaches a certain status, washing hands in a golden basin is the best way out. Otherwise, the gun will hit the first bird, and it will be difficult to escape.

When the situation comes, I can't help you, if you don't move?—— someone moves.

Thanks for reading, welcome to follow!
