Who will tell the story of Seon s lost horse, the story of Seon s lost horse

Hello! The story is as follows:

This story is the book "Huainan Zi Human Training" written by Liu An, the grandson of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty

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.

This story later evolved into the idiom "Seon lost his horse".

Hope you enjoy this story and mine!

A blessing in disguise. —Excerpt from "Huainanzi".

The people who are close to the plug, there are those who are good at sorcerers, and the horses are invincible and die and enter the Hu. Everyone hanged on him, and his father said, "Why is this not a blessing?"

After a few months, his horse returned with a horse. Everyone congratulated him, and his father said, "Why can't this be a disaster?"

The family is rich and good, and his son is easy to ride, and he falls and breaks his hips. Everyone hanged on him, and his father said, "Why is this not a blessing?"

After living for a year, Hu entered the blockade, and Ding Zhuang led the way to fight. The man who is near the fortress, the dead nineteen. This is only because of the lameness, and the father and son protect each other.

Among the people who live near the Biansai, there is a man who is good at speculating on good luck and evil and mastering the number of techniques. Once, his horse ran to the Hu people's residence for no reason. People came to comfort him for this.

But the old man said, "How is this not a blessing?" "After a few months, the lost horse came back with the good horse of the Hu people.

People came to congratulate him. Then the old man said, "How can this not be a calamity?"

The fortune teller had many good horses in his house, and his son, who loved to ride horses, fell off his horse and broke his thigh. People came to pay their respects to him. The old man said:

How can't this be a blessing? "After a year, the Hu people invaded the border fortress in a big way, and the sturdy men all picked up the ** to fight. Nine out of 10 of those in the vicinity of Biansai died.

The man was spared from the battle only because of his lame legs, and the father and son saved their lives together.

A blessing in disguise. "is a Chinese fable, and the following is the synopsis of the story:

A long time ago, an old man who lived on the border, Seon, had a horse. One day, his horse escaped from the fence Mori Sakura, which was considered a bad thing and people expressed regret. However, the old man Seon said calmly

The horse escaped, maybe it's a good thing, maybe it's a bad thing, who knows? ”

A few days later, the old man's horse returned with a herd of wild horses. At this time, people felt that he was very lucky and congratulated him. However, the old man Seon still said indifferently: "The horse has brought back a herd of wild horses, maybe it's a good thing, maybe it's a bad thing, who knows?" ”

In the days that followed, the son of the old man Seon fell and broke his leg while domesticating wild horses. People also felt that this was a very unfortunate thing, and they felt sorry for the son of the old man Seon. However, the old man said calmly

This sail clump son broke his leg, maybe it's a good thing, maybe it's a bad thing, who knows? ”

Soon after, war broke out, and young people from the border areas were drafted into the army. Since Seon's son was wounded and could not go to war, he survived. When people saw all this, they sighed at the luck of the old man.

However, the old man Seon still maintained a calm attitude: "My son didn't make it to the war, maybe it's a good thing, maybe it's a bad thing, who knows?" ”

This story teaches us that the good and bad things in life are often not always obvious. Sometimes, our views and judgments on an event may be one-sided, and only the passage of time and the development of events can reveal the truth of the matter. Therefore, we should learn to remain calm and optimistic, face the changes and challenges in life with a peaceful heart, and believe that fate often brings us unexpected turns.

In the ancient northern part of China, there was an old man in the village called Saiong, who was not only knowledgeable, but also open-minded, calm about things, and did not like to care about others.

He had horses and was good at riding, and his horses were strong and fast. One day, there was a sudden storm, thunder and lightning. One of Seon.

A white horse of good breed was frightened and ran away in the night. The neighbors all thought it was a bad thing and came to comfort them.

Sorry. But Seon didn't mind, but said lightly: Losing a horse is not necessarily a bad thing, and it may not be returned.

That's a good thing! 」

To people's surprise, a few days later, the lost white horse not only ran back by itself, but also brought back a strong horse

Running fast, the leather horses of the Hu people. When the neighbors heard the news, they all thought it was a good thing and came to congratulate them, but who would have thought this.

But Ci Seon said with a serious face: Don't be too happy, this thing may bring disaster! 」

A month later, Seon's son was thrown out of the horse and broke his leg when he went hunting on the horse he had brought back.

The neighbors thought it was a bad thing, so they all ran to comfort Seon.

But Seon was not at all sad, he looked at his son and said, "Things in the world are often unexpected. This thing sees.

It's a disaster, but it's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse! 」

In the second year, the Hu people in the north led a large group of men and horses south to invade the border of the Central Plains. All the young burners in the village were drafted into the army.

Pick up ** and join the army. After the war, many people died in the battle and did not return. Seon's son was able to suffer a leg injury.

He was exempted from military service and did not join the army, so he was spared and saved his life. Since then, Seon and his son have lived a comfortable life.

The story of Huainanzi tells us that the encounters in life are difficult to predict. Lao Tzu said: Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and blessings may be disasters.

Misfortune can also be a blessing, don't be negative and pessimistic because you encounter misfortune, and don't pay too much attention to unexpected blessings, so as not to be happy.

Extremely sad, but should be dealt with with a normal heart. Later, people thought that Chang used the phrase "Saion lost his horse, but he didn't know whether it was a blessing" to express the fortune and misfortune.

It's hard to draw conclusions.

The essence of what people encounter is often not as easy to distinguish between good and bad as it appears on the surface. A lot of people think so.

What is good may be a bad thing, and what many people think is a bad thing may be a good thing. In life, we should be like Seon.

When something happens, you should look at the essence of things, not just look at the surface.

As the saying goes: a blessing in disguise! Destroy the wealth and eliminate the disaster! That's what I'm saying.
