"Half of the Analects rules the world".

Half of the "Analects" rules the world" is from the "History of the Song Dynasty". Legend has it that Zhao Pu, the founding prime minister of the Song Dynasty, could not decide every time he encountered a political matter, so that he could consult a book at home after returning home, and the problem was solved the next day. Over time, the family was curious and secretly looked into the box, and it turned out that there was only half of the Analects in it.

So the people of the time said that Zhao Pu ruled the world with half of the "Analects".

The allusion of Zhao Pu's half of "The Analects" to rule the world has been controversial since ancient times. Some people believe that Zhao Pu is suspected of simplifying the problem by ruling the world with half of the Analects; Some people believe that half of the Analects ruled the world purely as a result of the hype of the ancients; Some people believe that the legal knowledge contained in the Analects is very rich and can govern the world. Taiwanese writer Li Ao thinks:

The Analects are nothing more than 11,705 words of empty things, and the ancient prime minister actually wanted to use half of the Analects to rule the world, which inevitably made it very easy to "rule the world". And the author thinks that although half of the "Analects" is short, if it is carefully studied and implemented like Zhao Pu, and its essence is brought into full play, what is the difficulty in governing the world? Although some rules and regulations are long, if they are not implemented, scrutinized, or studied, they will be long in vain!

Zhang Liang loves to watch "Huangshi Gong Art of War" and "Qimen Dunjia".

Zhao Pu loves to read the Analects.

Choose an excellent proposition to adopt.

It depends on the king's skill, and sometimes the monarch will make a more informed decision than a strategist.

That's why a strategist can only give advice, but a king can be much higher than a strategist

Because each of the ancient books was very knowledgeable, and as advisers, they did not read many books.

The amount of books in ancient times is much less than now, because in ancient times, books were not very good to make, and the books at that time were not paper, and the richer families used cloth to make paper, and bamboo slips were used as the carrier of recorded words, so in the past, it was not called a book, and if you want to finish reading a book, it is basically a car of bamboo slips.

Why, then, are ancient books so precious and abundant that strategists cannot read them all, but still have great wisdom? This is related to the intelligence of people, why there were often many pioneering inventions in the past, because of the limitations of the original times, many things were not available, but people's IQ does not mean that they cannot be improved without too much education, but only the limitations of cognition.

Although there are few ancient books, each of them is a classic, such as the Four Books and Five Classics, although it is said to be eight strands, but the content in it condenses a lot of models of Chinese culture, and in the past, there were schools of thought, which had their own clear full-time schools, and everyone had their own opinions, so they were very specialized in a certain aspect of detailed research, and could be learned to apply, so the strategists would be resourceful.

Moreover, why do strategists often rely on the strong, because they have no money, but the strong have money, relying on those strong people, strategists can see more knowledge that they can't see before, and they are also well-read, but they don't have as much information as they do now, but it is easier to refine their knowledge.

There are not many ancient books that have survived to this day, but ancient books are full of great wisdom, so although they don't read much, they are enough to use them.

Some people's intellect is innate, and many strategists may need scheming and insight into people's hearts many times.

Although the ancient models could not read the whole book, they could gain knowledge based on mutual debate, focusing on the cultivation of thinking skills.

Ancient books are very esoteric, and they are resourceful and depend on their own talents and intelligence.

Who said that the ancient counselors did not read much? Zhuge Liang's main job every day between going out of the mountain is to read books, so that he has great wisdom in his chest.

Ancient strategists were very clever and could often draw inferences from others and see small things, so they could grasp the laws of historical development.

You have to believe that there are not many books, but the essence. It's better to turn a book over and over again than a few books at once.

Because in ancient times, something was very intelligent, and the thinking of the problem was considered from many aspects.
