A horse travels thousands of miles. What do you mean you can't go without riding?

A good horse can gallop thousands of miles, but it can't go back and forth without a rider.

This sentence comes from the work "Broken Kiln Fu" by Lv Mengzheng, Minister of Northern Song Dynasty.

Excerpts are as follows:

Accidents will happen. Scolopes has a hundred feet and can't walk like a snake; The rooster has two wings, but he can't fly over the crow. A horse has a journey of a thousand miles, and it can't be done without riding it; People are ambitious, but they can't be self-sufficient unless they are lucky.

Gavin: In this world, wealth can't be lewd, and poverty can't be moved. The article is overwhelming, Confucius is in Bang Chen; Excellent martial arts, squire fishing in Weihe River. Yan Yuan's life is short, he is not a vicious person; Stealing feet is old, so he is a kind person. Emperor Yao was wise, but he gave birth to a black sheep; Gu Sou is stupid, but he is a filial son.

Zhang Liangyuan is a civilian, and Xiao He is called a county magistrate. Yan Zi, who was less than five feet tall, was appointed Prime Minister of Qi. Kongming, who lives in the thatched cottage, can become a strategist of Shu Han. Although Chu Ba was a hero, he was defeated by Wujiang River and committed suicide. Although Hanwang is weak, it has Wan Li.

Li Guang has the power to shoot tigers, not to be old; Feng Tang has the talent of Lapras, but he has never met him in his life.

Translation:

It is difficult to predict the change of the weather, and it is hard to say the fate of people sooner or later. Although centipedes have hundreds of legs, they can't climb as fast as snakes. Domestic chickens have big wings, but they can't fly like birds.

A good horse can gallop thousands of miles, but it can't go back and forth without a rider. Everyone has lofty aspirations, but only when they have the opportunity can they succeed in their official career. No matter how well this article was written, Confucius was still trapped in Cai Chen. No matter how many ways to fight, Jiang Taigong also fished by the Weihe River first. Thieves live a long life and are not kind people.

Yan Hui's life is short, but he is not a vicious man. Although Yao Shun was the most holy king, he gave birth to a black sheep. Although Gu Sou was naughty and slow, he gave birth to the son of the Great Sage. Sean was originally a common people, and Xiao He called him an expert in governing the country.

Yan Zi was less than five feet tall, but he was appointed as the prime minister of Qi. Kongming lives in a thatched cottage, but he can be a strategist in West Shu. Han Xin, helpless, was named the general of the Han Dynasty. Although Feng Tang had the ambition of governing the country and keeping the country safe, he had no official position until his death. Although Li Guang has a reputation for shooting at a tiger with an arrow, he has never been appointed.

Although Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, was stronger than Ma Zhuang, Wujiang's suicide was inevitable. Hanwang Liu Bang is weak, but he has Wan Li. Full of knowledge, I have never won the list in my life.

Appreciation of works:

Broken Kiln Fu reveals the idea of life fate and the natural change cycle of heaven and earth. Based on my own experience from suffering to wealth, this paper lists all kinds of fates and hardships experienced by many famous people in history from ancient times to the present, and explains the ups and downs of life destiny in this world in a factual and reasonable way.

The beginning and end of life, in this cycle of natural changes in heaven, earth, time and space, will have different and unexpected artificial and natural changes. Only those who have experienced too many hardships, vicissitudes and ups and downs can experience the most profound changes in the impermanence of heaven and the warmth of human feelings, and can experience the ups and downs of fate and the helpless endings of many lives in the cycle of human hardship, man-made and natural changes in heaven and earth.

What Lv Mengzheng pursues is his life wisdom of listening to the cycle of heaven and earth, being rich but inexhaustible, and being poor but unable to deceive himself. The opening is "unexpected events happen in the sky, and people will have misfortune and happiness one day", and the last is "life is alive, wealth is endless, poverty can not be bullied" and "listen to the cycle of heaven and earth, and start again and again".

In his works, Lu Meng reveals the idea that in a specific and unexpected cycle of heaven and earth, people should strive to be rich and poor, and those who cannot deceive themselves should work hard.

Accidents will happen. Lv Mengzheng reminded people of the ever-changing things in nature. With the change of time, people and things will bring a huge gap and have a great impact on people. The cycle of heaven and earth is repeated, and people must face the smooth road and bump calmly.

Lv Mengzheng used a considerable space to list the gains and losses, the huge gap between success and hardship of many famous people in history since ancient times. He deliberately listed so many numbers to show that many people want to conquer nature, but in fact most people can't conquer nature. Many people live in this world and will not accept the reality and cope with the change.

"A thousand miles, no one can't walk; People have the ambition of Lingyun, and they can't get ahead unless they are lucky. " Although some people are "learned", they can't be officials when they are old, and some people become officials when they are young. This is called "luck", which is what people often say.

"Broken Kiln Fu" reminds people that heaven is impermanent and human feelings are warm and cold, which is the normal state in the world, reminding people to accept reality and cope with the changes in heaven, earth and time.
