Hidden Rules (Revised Edition): Real Games in Chinese History

The so-called moral standards and rules that people accept since childhood are different from the rules that society actually abides by. This is why when growing up and entering society, they often encounter situations that conflict with their own moral values. The author named it "hidden rules". Under one set of rules, there is actually another set of rules that people actually use, and this set of rules reflects the true side of society.

Just like the dark web. Just like the gangsters of old. You manage during the day and I manage at night. But at that time the gangsters were greedy. So it's over. Just like now, there is no white and black, only gray.

The real psychological journey. I have experienced second-class fairness and third-class fairness. The ability to benefit and harm people can be converted into benefits. Benefits are everywhere. There is a lack of supervision. Reduce supervision costs. Everyone can respond to problems, and the problems will not get worse.

A good book is a good book, thought-provoking and fascinating. I haven't read many books like this. After reading it, I realized that the facts are so unbelievable. I am afraid that as an ordinary citizen, I have always been a little ant living on the undercurrent.

A very good book. The power of reality and rationality will not be suppressed by the obvious system. We must see the darkness and the logic of darkness. Even if you are in darkness, you must yearn for the light.

The greatest value of this book is that it created the famous name "hidden rules" and demonstrated it with a thesis-style story. Everyone can even see or experience it from life experience. But why is it there? How to identify it, use it, fight against it, and eliminate it? In view of the complex nature of human nature, this is a question with no solution.

This is a very good book that allowed me to see the charm of in-depth thinking. It also allowed me to understand the unspoken rules that many people keep secret. It greatly broadened my horizons and gave me a new perspective on observing problems. It is worth recommending.

We are a nation with two thousand years of orthodox history and a time machine of nearly two thousand years of writing. Without scientific enlightenment, we have studied culture and writing. The art of rules and language itself is part of the culture. Although the unspoken rules are ugly and evil in the culture, they are indeed thousands of years old. Part of our culture, our history, especially the past two thousand years, has been about playing with people and rules. Unspoken rules have been formed and have become phoenixes for thousands of years. They have been left to the contemporary era... There is the art of speech at the top, and the art of execution at the grassroots level. Essentially, the victims are the common people...

In essence, officials are selected based on their degree of corruption and their ability to make the pie bigger. It is difficult to reduce official corruption when it is suppressed to a certain extent, and if the total result cannot be positive growth, negative growth will definitely make the people's interests less and less. Exhausting the water will make farmers unable to survive and industry and commerce unable to make profits. The national finances are insufficient, so in order to maintain the economy, the people can suffer (as long as the farmers can survive and many people are not unemployed). At this time, the country has a chance to make the pie bigger by cracking down on corruption and carrying out reforms (if the officials have the ability to execute). The system is a circle that is never round and can only be constantly perfected. Most people will only complain but have no concrete or better way to solve the shortcomings. Only development can go further.

You can't resist the coming of darkness, you can only light a bright light in your heart!

Understanding the true nature is extremely important in today's society, and it is scary to follow others' opinions.

The content is good, and it cleverly uses some ancient allusions to illustrate the ubiquity of unspoken rules. Although we have entered a new era, the idea of ​​unspoken rules has not been abandoned at all, and has even become more widespread.

In the past, when I read books on history, economics, etc., I only had a vague sense of social phenomena. I knew it but didn't know why. After reading this book, I suddenly became enlightened, just like holding a pot for enlightenment. Thank you Mr. Wu Si!

Unspoken rules are the rules that we must know when walking in this society. Although these rules are not explicitly expressed, they are what we must know. If these rules are discovered by us, they will help us to achieve great success, but if we accidentally violate them, then we may not only face disaster, but also death. The unspoken rules of ancient times are particularly complex, and this book discusses them in detail.

The phenomenon of unspoken rules is common in all walks of life. In order to obtain benefits, people do not hesitate to adopt some tricky or even illegal behaviors. The ability to harm others legally is a special skill of officials. This is a true art, according to which resources and wealth are divided and realigned. This book tells the historical events in Chinese history that led to various tragedies due to the use of hidden rules. Through history, we can see the dangers of this society and human nature.

Cold sweat, hair on the hair is exploding

The author Wu Si is the first person to discover and systematically study the hidden rules of Chinese history. While telling the story of officialdom vividly and interestingly, the author uses historical appearances to reveal the unwritten rules hidden under the formal rules that actually govern the operation of society, and calls them unwritten rules. Hidden rules are another kind of rules hidden behind the actual rules. This kind of rules is the code of conduct that people really follow. This code of conduct is closely related to their interests.

Where does the word unspoken rules come from? There is not much difference if you read this book or not. It is 2025, but it was written more than 20 years ago. It can be said that today, when the Internet is highly developed, there is probably no Chinese who does not know this word, the meaning behind this word, and this phenomenon. Staying content with your duties is easier said than done. This kind of situation has been suppressed, but after being suppressed, it will breed from new angles. This is a protracted battle.

The description of the unspoken rules is detailed and has a good starting point. The ideological part is also enlightening, although some of the arguments are biased. The macro narrative of the overall and historical progress of human civilization is relatively thin and not convincing enough. It's generally a readable article, but it's not an article that emphasizes political correctness.

This book was recommended by the Half-Buddha Immortal. It tells about many hidden rules in Chinese history that are unknown or that we are accustomed to. In officialdom stories, the hidden rules of power are revealed. What are hidden rules? The author said that they are another kind of rules hidden behind the actual rules. What needs to be emphasized is that this kind of rules is actually a code of conduct that people really follow in their daily lives and workplace rules. Although the author said that he made up the word, it is really vivid and easy to understand.

It is very interesting. It has changed the way I think about some things and can make my thinking closer to reality. It is a rare good book.

The more I looked at it, the more frightened I became. It was so terrible. How could feudal society not perish under those circumstances?

[Sending Hearts][Sending Hearts] Leave a note when passing by! ! ! [Preface: About "hidden rules" and this book "Unwritten rules" is a word I made up. I have also thought of some other words, such as gray rules, internal regulations, informal systems, etc., But I always feel that they are not as appropriate as "hidden rules". This word is not made up out of thin air, it comes from a period of my life experience.

Very forward-looking and ambitious. I believe it can expand your horizons. He can help you make up for the shortcomings of traditional Chinese Confucian education, which avoids evil and promotes good. Let you break away from a dogmatic world and learn Marxist theory better through Zheng's dialectics. Here you can have an in-depth understanding of the law of historical cycles. The lecture is very good and is a good introduction to the family. At the same time, the angle is also very good. It is said that the death was due to land annexation. Here you can further understand how land plays the role of a buoy in the historical cycle rate. You can also learn about the ideals in Chinese culture and lament that there is nothing new under the sun. When it comes to shortcomings, I think they have been explained clearly enough, but the author himself did not explain them in a systematic way. It is an article after article.

Nothing has changed! !

Five stars, thank you for this book that allowed me to understand the unfamiliar aspects of each dynasty.

Insights into worldly matters are knowledge, and understanding of human feelings are articles. It's all about human nature. Not only in officialdom, but also in dealing with people, there are "hidden rules". Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are "rules."

From the analysis of history, culture and human nature, the inevitability of many phenomena has been revealed.

I was enlightened. The "wisdom" of the ancients is fully expressed in this book.

It is very objective and has remained unchanged for thousands of years. This book will still be useful in a hundred years. A hundred times better than those fantasy, literature and the like!
