"Reading"

The author has repeatedly trying to tell us is that difficult and it is easy to convert each other;Hard right now, when it is in high spirits, dancing;Adversity, that time may be the apprentice.Businessman profit business, for example, if you want to make money profits, have to invest money and energy, through hard work, can learn.

This truth and understand.Not heaven fell pie, not forest farm, there is no food to eat, to the boy was not hit the Wolf, he daunted, our ancestors iterating, really remember our children and grandchildren, and physically, with practice to prove this truth.Passed down to children and grandchildren, made the Chinese special national character can bear hardships and stand hard work.This point out early, above reproach.

Interestingly, the authors of the zhouyi does not seem like a gentleman later adults stereotype profit in business, don't say "no, do not rape, no rape is not" a class of mar businessman, was valued merchant activity, this kind of attitude, I'm afraid than the Confucian scholars of the later interpretation of the zhouyi were much more open-minded and tolerant, may be able to suit the socialist market economy condition?
