People who do great things should be the source of Mount Tai's collapse without changing its face.

Said by: Su Xun [Song], Mind: "If you want to teach the truth, you must first treat the mind. Mount Tai collapses in front of it, but its color remains the same. Elk thrives on the left without blinking, and then it can control its interests and rule its enemies.

Interpretation: Taishan collapsed in front of him, his face remained unchanged, and the elk danced beside him, and he did not look. Then you can kill the enemy and win.

The Heart Sutra is an argumentative essay written by Su Xun, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is one of the Power Techniques.

The word "brain" has a complicated meaning. "Guanzi" has a chapter "Heart", which talks about the way of nourishing the heart and governing the country with the theory of emptiness. Su Xun's Mind is about the general's psychological cultivation, the way to treat the enemy, the skills of thinking and motivation.

The article first discusses the "general": "If you want to teach a general, first cure his heart". Governing the mind is psychological cultivation. In the author's opinion, the most important psychological qualities of a general are two points: first, superhuman calmness, not chaos in the face of major events.

"Taishan collapses in front, and the color remains unchanged"; Second, extreme silence can effectively eliminate all interference. "Elk thrives on the left without blinking." If we can do this, we can grasp the gains and losses and resist the enemy. Sun Tzu's cultivation of generals includes "wisdom, faithfulness, benevolence, courage and strictness" (Sun Tzu's Art of War). Su Xun also stresses wisdom and strictness, which belongs to intellectual and moral cultivation, but he thinks that calm and quiet psychological quality is more important. This is the "general demeanor."

Secondly, on "soldiers": "All soldiers are righteous". Upholding righteousness means advocating justice, "not moving without justice" and taking justice as the criterion of military action. If you are not just, you will "take something for victory and avoid something for failure" (Ji Xiang). The theory of emphasizing righteousness has its own nature, but Su Xun is not repeating the theory of generalization. He is a unitarian of justice and benefit, and thinks that "justice and benefit are combined, and the world is in the palm of his hand" (On the Beneficiary's Justice and Harmony).

He put forward the principle of respecting righteousness from the purpose of profit, because a treacherous and mercenary war can only gain temporary benefits and will eventually come to the point of "being at a loss", which is a great disadvantage. If you act according to justice, you can do the best. Because "only righteousness can anger soldiers", we should inspire soldiers with "righteousness", "ten can anger with righteousness", and the handsome justice is invincible in the world.
