Ask for essays and fairy tales about the meaning of Seon s lost horse. 10

There is no end to the sea of learning, and turning back is the shore.

During the Warring States period, there was an old man named Saion. He kept many horses, and one day one of the horses went missing. When the neighbors heard this, they all came to comfort him that he didn't have to be too anxious, and that he was getting older, so he should pay more attention to his body.

Seeing that someone was advising, Seon smiled and said, "If you lose a horse, you won't lose much, but maybe it will bring blessings." ”

The neighbor listened to Seon's words and thought it was funny. The loss of the horse was obviously a bad thing, but he thought that maybe it was a good thing, obviously just self-comforting. But after a few days, the lost horse not only went home automatically, but also brought back a steed.

When the neighbors heard that the horse had returned on its own, they admired Seon's foresight and congratulated him and said, "It is a blessing that you have always had the foresight to not only did not lose the horse, but also brought back a good horse." ”

When Seon heard the congratulations of his neighbors, he did not look happy at all, and said worriedly: "It is not necessarily a blessing to have a good horse for nothing, but it may cause some trouble." ”

The neighbors thought that his pretense was pure old man's cunning. I was obviously happy in my heart, but I deliberately didn't say it.

Seon had an only child and was very fond of horseback riding. He found that the horse he had brought back was looking forward to life, with long hooves, neighing loudly, and a fierce horse, and he knew at a glance that it was a good horse. He rode every day with pride.

One day, he was a little overjoyed, and he galloped on his horse, and with a stumble, he fell off the horse's back and broke his leg. When the neighbors heard about it, they came to offer their condolences.

"It's nothing," said Seon, "maybe it's a blessing to break my leg and save my life." "The neighbors thought he was talking gibberish again. They couldn't think of any blessing that would come from breaking their legs.

Soon after, the Huns invaded, and the young men were conscripted into the army, and Seon's son could not serve as a soldier because he broke his leg. All the young men who enlisted were killed in battle, but only Seon's son survived.

1. The implication is: people should look at problems dialectically from the perspective of development and maintain an optimistic attitude. Whether you encounter good things or bad things, adjust your mindset and take into account the extreme changes that things can take.

2. The original text of the story of "Seon Lost Horse":

Among the people living near the border was a man who was proficient in mathematics, and his horse ran to the Hu people's residence for no reason. People came to pay their respects to him.

The old man said, "Why can't this be a good thing?" After a few months, the horse came back with the good horses of the Hu people. People came to congratulate their family.

The old man said, "Why can't this be a bad thing?" "He has a lot of good horses at home, and his son likes to ride horses, so he fell off the horse and broke his thigh. People came to comfort their families.

The old man said, "Why can't this be a good thing?" "A year later, the Hu people invaded the border area, and the men in the prime of life took up bows and arrows to fight.

Most of the people near the border are dead. Only this man was spared from the battle because of his lame leg, and the father and son were able to save their lives.

Zhizi Suspicious Neighbor" Warring States Han Fei.

Original text: Song Dynasty There was a rich man, the sky was raining, the wall was broken, and his son said: "If you don't build it, there will be thieves." His family is very wise about his son, and he is suspicious of the father of his neighbor.

Translation: There was a rich man in the Song Kingdom, and one day it rained and the wall of the rich man's house was destroyed. His son said:

If you don't build it quickly, thieves will come in. The old man next door said the same. Sure enough, a large amount of belongings were lost that night.

His family admired their son's cleverness, but suspected that the old man next door had committed the theft.

Literary appreciation: From the old man of the neighbor who said that kindness is not rewarded, it is attributed to the shallow and deep words, and from then on, the human feelings are practiced, and silence is golden. This layer is not to say.

This clearly shows that it is wrong to criticize the master's family, and the same opinions have different attitudes because of the distance between relatives, the so-called "thin people are suspicious". It means that intimacy is a kind of hindrance, hindering the master's understanding of the truth and falsehood.

In fact, Han Fei's original intention was not to criticize the master's family of "Zhiqizi suspicious of his neighbor", this fable is found in the chapter "Saying Cong is Difficult", which means how difficult it is to persuade others, because everyone is in a different position. This was accepted by Han Fei as a fact, so his main goal was to study the precautions that would help others listen to him.

The shallowness of the relationship is one of the precautions, so the original intention of Han Fei's fable is to criticize the practice of the rich - they are treated differently because of their different identities.

The "thin people who see suspicions" that were accepted by Han Fei as facts have a more technical explanation today. The saying that "everyone is in a different position" is replaced by economic language, which means that the transaction costs are very different due to the asymmetric state of information, which affects everyone's judgment and behavioral choices.

All the efforts of Han Feizi in "Difficult to Say" are the most decisive problems of today's information economics, that is, how to make the other party say the truth and believe the rest of the words in the case of information asymmetry, let the other party believe in his own words, and finally reach a contract with the other party.

Hello dear! The implication of Saion's loss of the horse is that people should look at problems from the perspective of development and maintain an optimistic attitude.

Whether you encounter good things or bad things, adjust your mindset and take into account the extreme changes that things may have. The story tells us that no matter whether we encounter a blessing or a curse, we must adjust our mentality, look beyond time and space to observe problems, and take into account the extreme changes that things may have. Under certain conditions, good things and bad things can be converted into each other, bad things can become good things, and good things can become bad things.
