What do you mean? Bring up the soup and stop cooking.

It's better to bring the soup up and stop cooking it.

Instead of scooping up the boiling water in the pot and dumping it, it will cool down and not boil. It is better to draw the firewood from the bottom of the pot and not let the water boil. From: Han Dongzhuo's Book of Shang He Jin: "I heard that Tang Yang stopped boiling, so I didn't receive a salary." I heard that I scooped up the boiling water in the pot and poured it out so that it would cool down and not boil. It is better to draw the firewood from the bottom of the pot and not let the water boil.

The last sentence of "It is better to raise soup to stop boiling than to draw salary from the bottom of the pot" is "It is better to retreat and build a net". The original meaning of this sentence is that you are standing by the pond. Instead of eagerly looking forward to and imagining the fish, it is better to go back and try to make a fishing net.

From the biography of Han Dong Zhongshu, "People who have been trying to cure since the Han Dynasty gained the world have lost not more civilization, but more civilized ability." The ancients said,' It is better to retire and build a net than to catch a fisherman in the forest. "

Vernacular: "Therefore, people who have been trying to govern the country well since the Han Dynasty won the world, but have not yet managed it well, should be more civilized and not change. The ancients said: "Standing by the river pond, instead of looking forward to and imagining the fish, it is better to go home and make a net." "

To raise the soup to stop boiling is to scoop up the boiling water in the pot and pour it out so that it will cool down and not boil. The metaphor is wrong, and it can't fundamentally solve the problem. From Wen Zi's Wen Zi in the Spring and Autumn Period (also known as Xuantong Zhenjing): "Therefore, it is very beneficial to raise soup to stop boiling, and to know its source is to eliminate fire."

Vernacular: "Therefore, the boiling of soup is more serious. You know it yourself, just stay away from the fire. "

Taking out the bottom of the pot comes from the nineteenth plan of the 36 th plan, which means that the firewood at the bottom of the pot can be removed to prevent the water from boiling. Metaphor is to solve the problem fundamentally, but also to destroy it in the dark.

Sentence discrimination:

1. It is important to have a clear purpose between the purpose and the means, but without the necessary means to achieve this purpose, the purpose will be illusory and unrealistic.

2. Warn the rulers that to govern the country well, we must grasp the fundamentals of thought and system.

The Han dynasty hoped that the country could be governed well, but it did not achieve this goal. The reason is that it has not carried out necessary reforms and adjustments in concepts and systems. So he used the old saying "settle for second best" to warn the rulers that to govern the country well, we must grasp the concepts and systems.

The allusion that "it is better to be lenient than to settle for the second best" also warns people that between the purpose and the means. For example, our purpose is to fish, but only by "retreating" and weaving a good net can we fish.

Here, the word "back" is very important. "Retreat" means that under certain conditions, we should temporarily put aside our purpose and try to solve the problem of means first, just as we have to solve the problem of boats and bridges before crossing the river.

In life, some people will be envious when they see others get rich first. This is of course human nature, but envy alone is not enough. We should try our best to master the skills of getting rich and explore ways to get rich. This is the most fundamental and feasible, and this is "quitting the network".
