Read What kind of person do you think Sniper is in Three Evenings and Four Days?

During the Song Dynasty, there was an old man who raised a group of monkeys, and people called him"Sniper"(Sniper means monkey).He liked these monkeys very much, they were like grandchildren. These monkeys have to eat a lot of chestnuts every day, and the old man's family is not too wealthy, and they can't afford it for a long time.

One day he told the monkeys that they would not be able to eat so many chestnuts every day. I'm going to limit your numbers. What do you think of giving each of you three chestnuts in the morning and four chestnuts in the evening from now on?

When the monkeys heard this, they shook their heads, and they were all too little. Then the old man said, "Well, how about four chestnuts in the morning and three chestnuts in the evening?"

The monkeys all agreed.

Here it is"Sniper Monkey"story. That is, today's idiom"Morning and evening" "Four in the morning and three in the evening".This story illustrates the short-sightedness of monkeys.

The monkey only sees the immediate benefits, and does not think about the results. There are also many such people in today's society, who only see a small profit in front of them. and did not take into account the big picture.

We have to learn from this story.

Sniper is a smart, flexible person.

While we criticize the monkey keepers for their treacherous and scheming, we should also learn the flexible working methods and thinking patterns of the monkey keepers, and the meaning of the story has changed somewhat, which is extended to be capricious, and is used to condemn the kind of people who often change their minds and do things irresponsible

A person must have ideals, identify the goal, and keep moving forward, and must not be in the morning, then nothing will be accomplished.

Sniper is a smart man.

This story originates from "Zhuangzi * Theory of Things".

One year, when there was a lack of food, the monkey keeper said to the monkey, "Now there is not enough food, we must save some food." How about eating three acorns in the morning and four in the evening?

The monkeys were very angry when they heard this, and they shouted noisily, "Too little! Why don't you eat as much in the morning as you do in the evening?

The monkey keeper hurriedly said, "So how about eating four in the morning and three in the evening?" When the monkeys heard this, they were all overjoyed, and felt that they had eaten more in the morning than in the evening, and that they had triumphed.

In fact, the total number of acorns has not changed, but the distribution method has changed, and the monkeys have turned their anger into joy. Theorists who pursue name and reality always try to distinguish between the different properties of things, without knowing that things themselves have identity. In the end, like a monkey, he was blinded by the morning and evening and the morning and evening.

The original meaning of the morning and evening refers to the fact that the essence remains the same, and people are deceived by changing the name. Song "Ercheng Quanshu, Testament, Eighteen, Mr. Yichuan's Words": "If the saint is not known, how can the heart of the saint be the art of the future generations?"

Unfortunately, the people who later applied this idiom did not know the origin of the three and the twilight, and confused it with "the twilight of the dynasty". The latter refers to the Warring States Period, when the two great powers of Qin and Chu were opposed, and some weak countries fell to Qin for a while, and then to Chu. Just like 10 years ago, when the United States and the Soviet Union were vying for hegemony, some African countries sometimes turned to the United States and sometimes to the Soviet Union.

Originally, it had nothing to do with this, but as a matter of falsehood, over time, everyone was accustomed to understanding "three days and four days" as unprincipled and capricious.

He is intelligent, capricious, and sees the essence through the phenomenon, and no matter how many forms there are, there is only one essence.

Sniper is a smart man.

Are you doing workbooks?

The translation of this text is wrong, and it should be the person who raised the macaque, not the sniper.

Seeking adoption!!

is a relatively intelligent person who takes advantage of the monkey's cleverness.

Sniper (hail lift jū): Macaque.

Sniper: A monkey keeper.

Sniper is a cunning and intelligent man.

Story: There is an old man in the Song Kingdom who raises monkeys, likes monkeys, and raises them in groups, he can understand the meaning of monkeys, and monkeys can also understand the old man's mind. The elderly man who keeps monkeys would rather reduce the amount of food he and his family have to meet the needs of the monkeys.

Soon, his family will run out of food, and he will limit the amount of food for the monkeys. But he was afraid that the monkey would not obey him, so he first deceived the monkey and said, "Give you acorns, three in the morning and four in the evening, is it enough?"

The monkeys all stood up and were furious. And he said, "Give you acorns, four in the morning and three in the evening, right?"

The monkeys were very happy and then they all lay on the ground.

Cunning and scheming. Old-fashioned and flexible.

Sniper is a very smart person.

The original meaning of this story was to expose the deception of snipers and warn people to pay attention to reality and avoid being deceived by rhetoric. But then, the meaning of the story changed a bit, and it was extended to be capricious, and it was used to condemn the kind of people who often change their words and do things, and are irresponsible.

Look beyond the surface to see the substance, and don't be fooled by the formalities.

The truth of the story: the clever satire of the two foolishness of management and management, the latter who is ridiculed because of "a leaf blind to see Mount Tai" and "laughing generously";However, the former, who seems to be proud, is only used to solving the immediate predicament, and is accustomed to some 'self-deception, human rights, and the strategy of delaying the army', and naturally ends up being resented because it is not a long-term solution. Caution people to be pragmatic and avoid being deceived by rhetoric.

Later, it was extended to capriciousness, condemning those who speak and act irresponsibly.

The story of "Three Evenings and Four Days" comes from: Zhuang Zhou's "Zhuangzi Qi Theory of Things", also known as "Sniper Gong Fu Qi", the original text is: "Sniper Gong Fu Qi, said:'Three and four. 'The snipers were furious. Said:'Then it is four and three. 'All snipers are pleased.

Vernacular translation: The monkey keeper divides the monkey with acorns, saying, "Three liters in the morning and four liters in the evening." The monkeys were very angry when they heard this, and the monkey keeper changed his tune and said, "Then let's take four liters in the morning and three liters in the evening." The monkeys were glad to hear this.

Originally referred to the use of deception to deceive people. Now describe the person who sees the difference.

Originally referred to the use of deception to deceive people. The post-parable is often hexagram and capricious.

"Three Dynasties and Four Dusks" comes from Zhuang Zhou during the Warring States Period.

Original text: Sniper Gong Fu, said: "Three in the morning and four in the twilight."

The snipers were furious. He said: "Then it will be four and three at dusk."

All snipers are pleased. The name is not lost and the joy and anger are used, and it is also because it is. It is a saint and a right and wrong, which is said to be two lines.

Translation: The monkeys were overjoyed when they heard it. Names such as names are no different from the nature of the physical objects represented by names, but under the psychological effect of people's joys, sorrows, joys and evil desires, they have become different understandings, and this is because the consciousness that only knows the four days and does not know the three is doing tricks.

Therefore, the saints who have restored the Dao heart can not only control the various contradictory and opposing consciousness in a neutralized state in the layman, but also be at ease in the spiritual realm of the Dao mind in the inner realm, which is the same as the inner and outer behaviors.

Interpretation: The original metaphor is that a wise person is good at using means, and a stupid person is not good at discerning things, and later the metaphor is capricious. There was a man who played with monkeys and fed the monkeys acorns, and he told the monkeys to give each monkey three acorns in the morning and four in the evening, and all the monkeys were anxiousLater, he said that if he gave four in the morning and three in the evening, all the monkeys would be happy (see Zhuangzi Qi Wu Treatise).

Source: "Zhuangzi Qi Theory of Things": "Sniper Gong Fu Qi said: 'Chao three and Mo (twilight) four. The snipers were furious. ”

Example sentence: He is always in the morning and evening, and has no backbone.

Originated from Zhuang Zhou's "Zhuangzi Qi Theory of Things". The original moral of this story is a clever satire of the two foolishness of management and management, and the latter is ridiculed for being "laughing and generous" because he "can't see Mount Tai with a leaf";However, the former, who seems to be proud, is only used to solving the immediate predicament, and is accustomed to some 'self-deception, human rights, and the strategy of delaying the army', and naturally ends up being resented because it is not a long-term solution. Now, it is implied that the goal is not firm or emotionally dedicated.

Allusion to "Zhuangzi Qi Theory of Things": "Sniper Gong Fu Qi, said: 'Three in the morning and four in the twilight.'"

The snipers were furious. He said: "Then it will be four and three at dusk."

All snipers are pleased. The name is not lost and the joy and anger are used, and it is also because it is. It is a saint and a right and wrong, which is said to be two lines.

The "sniper" here refers to the monkey, and the "sniper" is the person who plays the monkey.

The Yellow Emperor also expands on this story in detail, saying that there was a man who raised macaques in the Song Kingdom, because he raised too many macaques and his family was short of wealth, so the macaques raised people planned to restrict the macaques' food. He said to the monkey, Give three acorns in the morning and four in the evening, and the monkey was furious, and the monkey did not rejoice until he said four in the morning and three in the evening. This is the story of "three days and four days", which means that the essence remains the same, and people are fooled by changing their eyebrows.

But now we are more metaphorical and capricious.

The god of labor is one, and he does not know the same, which is called the three. "Trying your best to seek "one", but not knowing that it is the same, this is "Chao Three". The total number and essence of Chao 3 and Chao 4 and Chao 3 have not changed in total, they are both seven, but the order is different, and the impact on the monkeys is also different.

It turns out that we all misunderstood "three days and four days", and there is such an interesting story behind it!

The meaning and explanation of the morning and evening, come in and listen.

Morning three and four is an idiom, derived from Zhuang Zhou's "Zhuangzi Qi Theory of Things", the original metaphor used deception to deceive people, and later used as a metaphor often changing hexagrams, capricious, changeable, and unpredictable.

"Three days and four evenings" warns people to pay attention to reality and avoid being deceived by superficial illusions. Now it refers to people who speak and do things capriciously, and often change hexagrams.
