Jin Yongwen studied for 20 years, and Zeng Guofan hid it in the quilt, influencing countless emperors and generals throughout the ages

Today I would like to recommend to you a masterpiece that you can benefit from for life as long as you read it once!

Since its birth, it has been worshiped by countless heroes in later generations.

Until the age of 49, the writer Feng Tang still read two chapters a day to calm down and cultivate his nature.

When Mr. Jin Yong predicted the development situation in his early years, someone asked him what the secret was, and he replied easily: "I have been reading the Zizhi Tongjian for 20 years, and it has helped me understand the laws of China's history.

This strange book is the "Zizhi Tongjian", which is known as the "double wall of historiography" along with the "Historical Records".

It is not an ordinary history book, but a "textbook for governing the country" specially created for the emperors of the Song Dynasty. It records the rise and fall of a total of 16 dynasties from the Warring States period to the five dynasties.

What is the reading value of a book written for the emperor?

Writer Zhang Jiawei answered this question on Zhihu.

He said: If you read "Historical Records" a lot, people will be enthusiastic; If I read the "Tongjian" a lot, I will think about doing big things before ...... Learn a little bit of logical thinking first.

I agree with that.

If the "Historical Records" gives us a glimpse of the deeds of historical figures, then the "Zizhi Tongjian" is a "treasure book of life" that helps us gain insight into human nature and see through people's hearts.

Let me give you a small example.

"Tian Ji Horse Racing", everyone has learned it in middle school, Tian Ji adopted Sun Bin's clever plan, won two wins in three games, and won the king of Qi.

This period of history, in the "Historical Records", is almost the same as recorded in the book.

However, in "Zizhi Tongjian", Sima Guang told you: Tian Ji won the horse race and was in the limelight, but he was "hated by the villain".

Zou Ji, who is the prime minister of Qi State, but because he was jealous of Tian Ji's talent, he sent someone to pretend to be Tian Ji's divination and prediction.

In ancient times, it was taboo for important ministers of the court to divinate privately, so Tian Ji was framed for rebellion.

King Qi Wei asked Tian Ji what his intention was to divination, Tian Ji was difficult to prove his innocence, and in a fit of anger, he actually raised troops to attack the capital to capture Zou Ji for revenge, but he was defeated and fled......

The frustrated ending of this hero suddenly gives this story a different educational significance.

And this is the reason why "Zizhi Tongjian" was regarded as a pillow book by the emperors of all dynasties -

Compared with personal struggles and legends, it respects historical facts more and hopes that we can see the unchanging human nature and the law of success and failure in the course of history.

I think that every knowledgeable Chinese may have a secret ideal in his heart, that is, to read through the "Zizhi Tongjian" in this life.

In terms of temperament, when the life and death of tens of millions of people are turned page by page, you will become more open-minded.

In terms of decision-making power, when you see the rise and fall of thousands of years, the successes and failures, the alternation of the old and the new, and then look back at the road you have traveled, you will have more foresight and courage.

From the perspective of the pattern of life, when you look at the historical chess game of 1362 and look through the ups and downs of 16 dynasties, you will stand on a higher perspective and look at merit, fame, fortune and lu.

It's just that for the vast majority of ordinary readers, the classical Chinese of the original work of "Zizhi Tongjian" is too obscure and difficult to understand, which makes everyone daunting.

A must-read for the illustrious people of all ages

丨 The great wisdom of the Chinese to settle down and live is covered in one book

From ancient times to the present, "Zizhi Tongjian" is a general existence of YYDS.

Zeng Guofan, a generation of famous ministers, read it several times and praised it as "the book of the sages who shocked the world, and he was not good at Sima Wenzhenggong's "Zizhi Tongjian".

Historian Qian Mu called it "a must-read book for those who study history." ”

Liang Qichao said bluntly: "It is a textbook for emperors."

Why can a book be read by emperors, generals, and literati?

Because, a large number of real case analysis is recorded in "Zizhi Tongjian", no matter what your identity is or what you encounter, you can find the answer to your question in it.

For example, as an entrepreneur, how can a company attract talent?

It's simple –

Cao Cao said: "The army has no wealth, and the soldiers do not come; There is no reward for the army, and the soldiers do not go. ”

What do you mean, the boss is reluctant to "spend money", and the cattle can't be recruited; attracted a reluctant reward, and the cattle couldn't keep it.

And there are two keys to reward, one is to be strong, and the other is to be timely.

If you want to achieve great things, you must be willing to "cut meat", and only in this way can we gather talents and work together to do great things.

For example, as a subordinate, how do you "correctly" give advice to your boss?

"Tongjian" records that Wu Qi and Le Yang fought hard for three years and finally returned victorious.

The monarch Wei Wenhou gave the territory he had beaten down to his son. He also asked the ministers: "How am I a king?" ”

One by one, the ministers replied, "You are the king of benevolence." ”

But a courtier named Ren Zao went and said bluntly: "How can the king conquer Zhongshan and not give it to the meritorious hero and his younger brother, but to his son?" ”

The scene was very embarrassing, and Wei Wenhou was about to lose his temper when he saw it.

At this time, another courtier, Zhai Huang, came out to the rescue: "Monarch, you are a benevolent monarch!" ”

Wei Wenhou asked again: "How do you know?" ”

Zhai Huang replied: "The minister heard that only the king is benevolent and virtuous, and the courtier can be upright. Isn't that just a testament to the righteousness of your words? ”

Wei Wenhou listened to Dayue.

In one sentence, it not only extinguished Wei Wenhou's anger, but also rescued Ren Zheng, who was also a loyal minister, and left a good impression on the leader.

Can you say that this sycophant is not very clever!

Another example, how to recognize people in the workplace and life?

"Zizhi Tongjian Tang Ji" said: "Those who are angry are normal, and those who laugh are unpredictable." ”

What does it mean? Anger is human nature, if someone is angry but does not show it, but puts a smile on his face, such a person, you should stay away.

In a word, the weakness of human nature and the unpredictability of the human heart have long been written by Sima Guang.

Reading even a tenth of them is enough to make you see and pattern far better than your peers.

More importantly, reading this book, through the wisdom of our predecessors, and always referring to self-reflection, can help us avoid many detours in our lives and avoid unnecessary disasters.
