Mountain does not turn to water, and water does not turn to people. Pronunciation: [shān büZhuàn ShuǐZhuàn, ShuǐbüZhuàn rén? zhàn].
The Analects of Confucius said, "The benevolent enjoys Leshan, while the wise enjoys water." The benevolent likes mountains because they are static, fixed and motionless. Among them, it is a kind of firmness and persistence. For example, our persistence in love and career. Wise people like water, because water is moving, flowing and rotatable. As the saying goes, "mountains don't turn into water", and water embodies a flexibility and a change, which is the attitude of wise people towards things. At the same time, it also implies that everything is the development of sports. Mountains, water and people are all concrete things. In all things, stillness is relative, and motion is absolute. There is relative stillness in absolute motion and absolute motion in relative stillness. "Mountain becomes water", a natural phenomenon in words, contains rich philosophy of life in essence: compare people with mountains. Everything in the world, movement is absolute, and stillness is relative. Even though "mountain" (a metaphor for people, including you and me) subjectively wants to "turn", "water" (everything in nature) still "turns" regardless of people's will. For example, since the reform and opening up, many institutions and personnel arrangements have changed almost every day, and some people can't adapt and complain. In this case, you can use this sentence to convince him and make him happy. Compare people with water and other people or things with mountains. When the situation is difficult to reverse, or when the two sides are at loggerheads, use this sentence to persuade people to take flexible measures instead of playing hardball, so as not to lose both sides. Metaphor is that the mind has water. The so-called "mountains don't turn to water, water doesn't turn to people" means that when you hit a wall and fall into a desperate situation, your brain should first "turn around" to overcome panic. This sentence can also encourage yourself or others: no matter how many hardships and setbacks there are, don't lose heart, there will always be a sunny day. Whether there is such encouragement or not, the result is very different, because when people are patient to the limit, they are always weak and desolate.
