In the past few days, I have continued to watch the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
At the same time, look at Cao Cao.
In my life, Shishan has brought me three major revelations:
The first is that a person is ambitious and capable, but if he has poor moral cultivation, he will not be able to succeed. It can be said that it is the truth that will remain unchanged through the ages. Cao Cao has the ambition to calm the world and the talent to govern troubled times.
It's a pity that he has talent but no virtue, and he dares to openly preach the employment policy of valuing talent over morality. With his way of cleaning up the northern heroes, why did he meet Liu Bei.
Sun Quan, there have been repeated setbacks, and there is nothing he can do? It turned out that there were many talents at that time, and Cao Cao's actions forced those who valued morality into the two camps of Liu Bei and Sun Quan. As a result, throughout his life, he failed to fulfill his great wish.
The second is that a person should correct the social atmosphere, but he should not overdo it. The golden mean, which is not faulty and inferior, is a reasonable trade-off standard. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, because the two emperors of Huan and Ling emphasized the relationship between cronies and favored eunuchs, they corrupted the social atmosphere.
Therefore, people who attach importance to moral cultivation are as jealous as hatred, and they have flaunted their high solar terms and formed parties, but they are somewhat extreme. In order to change this atmosphere, Cao Cao deliberately advocated the way of emphasizing talent and ignoring morality, and said arrogant nonsense of "rather teaching me to bear people, and not teaching people to bear me". This kind of overcorrection method not only fails to improve the atmosphere of being clear and extreme, and self-appreciating oneself.
On the contrary, because of his words and deeds, it caused a crooked trend of competition for materialism in the early Jin Dynasty.
The third is that even if a person has ambitions, talents, and achievements, as long as his moral character is corrupt, the rest of his performance should be written off and not praised.
Character first, is the fundamental reason why people are human. How many virtuous and virtuous sages in history have been able to become objects for future generations to learn, revere, and emulate, and all of them have noble moral character. Those who have bad moral character, even if they have achievements in a certain aspect, everyone will not respect him and learn from him.
This is the unworthy standard brought about by the thought of Deben Caimo.

Landlord, what does Cao Cao mean by inviting Zhuge Liang? I really don't understand this, but it seems that the upstairs understands, and can actually answer it.

When Cao Cao was young, the flying eagle lackeys did not do his job, and his uncle did not like him very much. often told his father how bad Cao Cao was. Once, Cao Cao had a cloak with his hair scattered, his mouth was crooked, his eyes were slanted, and his mouth was foaming at the mouth, and his uncle saw it and quickly told his father.
When his father came to see Cao Cao, nothing happened. Cao Cao said to his father, it was because my uncle didn't like me, so he deliberately said this about me. From then on, his father did not believe his uncle's words.

After Cao Cao occupied Hanzhong, the strategists suggested that he attack Shu, because Liu Bei had just obtained that territory at this time, and the people's hearts were still unstable, so there was a great chance to defeat it. But Cao Cao said that people can't be too greedy, "People are bitter and insufficient, and they have Long, and they look back at the evil of Shu!" What he meant was that just after getting Hanzhong, don't go to Shu again. >>>More
Speaking of Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period, everyone's evaluation of him seems to be particularly unified, and they all feel that he is a complex and changeable person, and he is also the most powerful person to unify the whole country during the Three Kingdoms period, looking back on the entire history. At the beginning, Cao Cao's strength was the strongest, and his own ability was excellent. >>>More
There are three main reasons for this. First, it is necessary for people who do great things to have an extra mind. Second, Cao Cao suspects that everyone has his own reasons, and he will not think that he has a problem without reason. >>>More
