Confucius said: "inchworm bends and stretches;" The dragon and snake sting is to survive. " In the Song Dynasty, Zhu thought that "the rise and fall of flexion and extension" was "an eternal and difficult truth". He proposed that before the time came, we should "retire and support ourselves, and be unlucky with the times", learn to "support and be unlucky", wait for the opportunity and make a comeback. You can achieve great things by standing by and moving.
Life in the world, like a river, can't go straight into the sea. It is bound to be tortuous and twisted according to the terrain, so that it can go down the river and fall into the sea. So, don't forget that "bending" is for stretching. People who just want to stretch can't stretch for long, and finally they can only get nothing. Bend first and then extend. This is the eternal paradise.
In modern social life, the economy is excited, the material desires are cross-flowing, the competition is fierce, and the pace of life is accelerated. Many people are anxious, impetuous and eager for quick success. They only know "stretch" and "advance" all day, that is, we often talk about pioneering and struggling, but they ignore the role of "bending" and "retreating" and ignore everything in the world. It is easy to break when stretched, and it is easy to break when stiff.
A gentleman has ups and downs, and he can bend and stretch. Qu Zhongsheng, stretch and solve; Bend and be human, stretch and have a way; Doing things in the middle and achieving things in the middle. Flexion and stretching are the instinct of people and everything, and also the wisdom of living in the world. Instinct is innate potential, and intelligence is acquired kung fu.
Xunzi said that the Book of Songs turned to the left and could cope. By the way, you can control everything ",it is worth living in vain.
Laozi once said in the Tao Te Ching: "The winner is strong, and the loser is strong." Society is full of competition and a lot of deception. People are often confused, timid people avoid it, and stupid people commit suicide. In fact, in a word, we haven't fully grasped the true meaning of flexion and extension. Everyone wants to gain a foothold in society, but they are often dissatisfied with reality and have a bad attitude. If this lifestyle is not handled properly, it may be eliminated by the real society.
Throughout the ages, anyone who can achieve great things must be a man who can bend and stretch. There are two realms in life: adversity and prosperity. In adversity, difficulties and pressures force the body and mind. At this time, it is necessary to understand the word "bend", compromise for perfection, and save your strength and wait for a turning point. In good times, luck and environment are good for me. At this time, it is necessary to understand the word "stretch" and soar in the wind of Wan Li, so as to cope with the situation to the next level.
When it comes to being a man, you should be firm and soft. If a person is too strong, he will face difficulties regardless of the consequences when he meets things. Such people are easily frustrated. Life is too short, how many setbacks can you endure? People are too weak to be afraid of things. How can such a person fight the wind and waves in the sea of life? Therefore, only people who can bend and stretch can grasp the direction of life well and realize their great ambitions.
And Fiona Fang's skill, can be said to be a kind of last stand's skill, is to deal with people skillfully with wisdom and defeat the enemy.
Fiona Fang's learning is a weapon. It is obviously risky for you to fight for it while the enemy is shooting at you. In real life, honest people often hope that there is a pure justice in the world, and this is just a dream. The world is changeable, and if there is justice, there will be evil, which is also a natural law. We all know the story of young Han Xin. If he can't stand the humiliation of his original legs, there won't be an all-powerful general in history, only an unknown ghost will cause death. In the eyes of ordinary people, the humiliation of his legs is unbearable and a great shame. Han Xin put up with it. What a mind and courage!
If you want to do great things, you have to endure humiliation that ordinary people can't stand. History will give you a great task, so you should have a broad mind to tolerate the injustice in the world and be prepared for suffering and humiliation. That is not only a test of fate, but also a test of yourself. Faced with shame, we should think calmly. When people encounter difficulties and shame, if their own strength can't compete with each other, self-help is the most important.
Flexibility and temporary humiliation are all for long-term career and ideal. If you can't stand temporary setbacks, your ambition can't be realized. "Bend" is the preparation and accumulation stage of "stretch", just like an athlete's long jump, leg bending is to accumulate strength, condense the whole body's strength to the point of exertion, and then jump up and stretch in the air to achieve the highest goal.
We all know the hedgehog in the animal kingdom. It is the embodiment of wisdom and can stretch and bend. When it is prosperous, it bows its small head and is covered with thorns. When it is in danger, it retracts its head and rolls itself into a thorn ball, making the enemy invulnerable. Should we learn some philosophy of life from hedgehog's survival instinct? Stretching is the way to progress, and bending is the means to save yourself. In life, we all come out of the state of repeated stretching and bending.
When life encounters difficulties, low tide, adversity or failure, if you use the wisdom of "bending", you will often get unexpected results. On the other hand, if we give in, it will be dealt a heavy blow. At that time, our lives will be in jeopardy. What else can we talk about life, career, future and ideal?
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Gou Jian, King of Yue, and his wife were taken hostage and enslaved by Fu Cha. They lived in a cave stone house, Fu Cha went out, and Gou Jian personally led the horse.
On one occasion, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, was ill. Knowing that Fan Li would be well soon, Gou Jian secretly asked him to make a prediction for himself. Gou Jian visited Fu Cha, tasted Fu Cha's excrement with his own eyes, and then said to Fu Cha, "Your Majesty will be well soon. I once studied medicine with someone. You can know the severity of the disease by tasting the patient's feces. I tasted the king's excrement, which is a little bitter, so your illness is not serious. " Sure enough, in a few days, Focha recovered. Fu Cha thought Gou Jian was more filial than his own son, so he was moved and put him back in Yue.
After returning to China, Gou Jian worked hard to make a living because he knew that Vietnam's national strength was weak and its troops were not strong, and it was not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. It is because of his own flexion that he got the extension that "three thousand Yue families can swallow Wu" and became the overlord of a generation.
Gou Jian's way of flexion and extension is a model of flexion and extension in history.
There is no secret to turning defeat into victory in the world.

There is no eternal winter and no eternal failure in the world. It is wise to keep fighting spirit, confidence and patience in difficult and unfortunate days.

People walk by bending and stretching their legs. They had to bend down and reach for something. When eating, they have to bend over and put their hands into their mouths. People do things by countless combinations of flexion and extension, which is the relationship between survival and flexion and extension.
Fishing by the stream in Legend of Deification met King Wen, which laid the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years. Zhuge Liang lived in Longzhong, and later helped Liu Bei establish Shu; Sima Qian accepted the punishment of corruption and finally completed the spread of Historical Records through the ages ... These are successful examples of celebrities' "bending" and "stretching" in history.
In life, it is generally believed that flexion and extension represent advance and retreat, "flexion" represents frustration, and "extension" represents complacency, which is only superficial understanding. The "flexion" and "extension" in life are far from simple. "The Biography of Ban Gu in the Later Han Dynasty" said: "Although flexion and extension are impermanent, they vary from time to time." The "flexion" and "extension" in life are subject to the changes of the times and environment, rather than arbitrary.
People can't do everything and know everything. Even the Monkey King, who became invincible in seventy-two, could not escape the Tathagata's hand, let alone be a human being. People always have their limitations, and the god of luck can't stay with you for a long time. Everyone should foster strengths and avoid weaknesses and make a difference. Difficulties, low tide, failure and adversity are inevitable in life. When something happens, we should sharpen our edge, compromise and make concessions, hide our strength and bide our time, wait for the opportunity, and make a comeback with constant changes. Don't be impatient. In other words, if a mortal wants to achieve something, he can only bend down before reaching out, just like hitting someone, you must bend your arm before reaching out. We often say that "heroes don't eat short-term losses", which is the reason.
Who doesn't have his own dreams and goals in life? In order to achieve these goals, we need to make great efforts to face barbarism, loneliness and even misunderstanding by society and relatives. All these are normal and worthwhile, because it does not lose your personality, but shows your personality strength at a higher level. More importantly, today you are willing to endure the unfair treatment of some people, and tomorrow you may be respected and even admired by more people. To be wronged as much as possible is to maximize self-extension and development. To ask for help, you must first wronged yourself and put down your airs. You can't let your dreams for many years be stillborn because of face. If a person wants to get ahead and make great achievements, he must know the essence of flexion and extension.
