    Chapter 154 "Don't Be Filtered Sand"

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    When the big waves wash the sand, you will see real gold.  It means that real gold is not afraid of fire, and pearls are not cast in secret.  Gold will always shine.

    Since the gradual improvement of the imperial examination system in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, this merit-based talent selection system has broken the long-term occupation of the political arena by the elites of the gentry, and helped talented people from poor families enter the court and become officials, and make great achievements.  And the selection of the imperial examination system is like a big wave washing the sand, so that real talents can enter the officialdom, which is what we call real gold and pearls.

    We always use the second half of the sentence, emphasizing that pearls and real gold are destined to shine, but we often ignore the first half of this sentence, namely "sand".  Little do they know that it is precisely because the ordinary sand is filtered out that the real gold stands out and the pearl shines brightly.  But in real life, how many people are sand, and how many people are real gold and pearls?

    The answer is self-evident.  Pearls and real gold can be said to be rare, but there are countless small gravels.  Some people work hard to make themselves stand out; some people are willing to degenerate, reduced to gravel, sinking to the bottom of the river, doing nothing.  Just waiting for the big waves to wash away day after day, drifting with the current year after year I don¡¯t know how many times I have witnessed the rising and setting of the moon, and I don¡¯t know how many springs, summers, autumns and winters I have gone through, and I am still numb and indifferent. This is the most sad sand.

    There is a very interesting plot in the TV series "Kangxi Dynasty". The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang visited the mansion of the old minister Sony in disguise, and asked the maid to knock on the door and said, "My mother-in-law is visiting your master".  Most of the servants are like sand with eyes but no eyes, who speak bad words at each other, and refuse to give notice.  The queen mother was not annoyed, and let the sedan chair switch from the main door to the side door, and then from the side door to the small door.  The court lady couldn't help but said: "The servants who are getting lower and lower in status in the future, why are they more arrogant than one?" The queen mother smiled and said: "Don't be angry, dragons have dragons, and rats have rat holes. I was wrong."  , let¡¯s go through the main entrance.¡± When the sedan chair reached the main entrance again, the Empress Dowager asked the maid to give her crutch to the servant at the main entrance.  Compared with the servants at the side door and the small door, the servant was more humble. After many observations, he realized that the visitor had a lot of background, so he quickly changed his attitude and respectfully gave the crutch to his master.  Soon the front door opened, and Sony's family knelt down to welcome the Queen Mother.  Including those servants who were still arrogant by the side door and the small door not long ago, they all knelt in desperation, making people look very funny.

    This example tells us that when the big waves wash away the sand, the lower the level of people, the less able they are to grasp who they are.  For example, the politeness of Sony's servants shows an increasing trend from the small door, the side door to the main door.  The lower you go, the worse your attitude becomes. People don't understand that this kind of low-level person has the capital and temper to boss others around?  This is the stubborn and hopeless sand, which has been settled at the bottom for a long time; and those who are a little bit smarter are either promoted to the side door or the main door.  And the sand that is the most unseen on the table, just sits at the small gate and watches the sky all his life, accomplishing nothing.

    Don't be the filtered sand when the big waves wash away the sand.  Because the sand is always filtered away repeatedly and easily, but the real gold and pearls are likely to be unearthed once, and play a real role where it belongs.  Just as the school divides key classes and parallel classes, if the top performers in the parallel class are not willing to be sand, they will always advance to the key class; while the real gold and pearls of the key class, which are content with the status quo and going downhill, will sooner or later be shattered into sand and thrown away.  To the parallel class Not to mention that society is full of filters, all kinds of exams, evaluations, and elections are all for the purpose of filtering out the mediocre sand, removing the real gold and beads, so that they can be carefully polished and carved, and turned into a dazzling array of jewelry stores  , Priceless gold jewelry, and then bought by those who can also afford it and match their status.

    Only when you are better, can you meet better.  The big waves wash the sand, and the sand wanders in the rolling river again and again, so its world is just that constant river water, there will be boredom and slack, then indulge yourself, a vicious circle and real gold and beads, from the original  When the ecological beauty is transformed into a better ornament, it will become the pearl necklace on the snow-white neck of the famous lady, the "gold inlaid jade" medal awarded to the Olympic champion, and the high-level people in the society who spared no expense to buy it at the auction.  A rare treasure, only because it is good enough, it is worth it, worthy of better people and scenery.

    Don't be the filtered sand, whenever you want, be a person with value and self-restraint.  Like the sand in the waves, it is dispensable. When you grab it, your life is quite sad and hopeless.  This is the profound enlightenment given to us by the big waves washing the sand, and it is also a misunderstanding that all of us need to avoid.  As long as you have lofty aspirations and dreams in mind, age is no reason to persuade you not to work hard.  Just as Jiang Taigong was old enough to help the King of Wu defeat Zhou, that was his pursuit of career; "Frozen Age Goddess" Zhao Yazhi is still beautiful and elegant in her sixties, which is her yearning for beauty, self-discipline and persistence in body management and daily maintenance.

    It is true that most of us are ordinary people, and there is no need to deliberately restrain ourselves like great stars.  But remember, don't be the filtered sand!  Even if it evolves into a small pebble, it is a kind of?Eternal tenacity is the proof of your struggle and the existence of your meaning.
