Good Looking + Practical
I would like to read a book similar to "Record of Destiny Change (Practical Techniques for Changing Destiny)". There are stories about educating children, about having a righteous mind and righteous thoughts, about how to get rich, and about answers to many social problems... This is a very good practical novel that I have read so far.


































How can I put it, after reading this book, I have very complicated emotions. Li Si has a life that he pursues, and he has tasted all the ups and downs in this life. I think this may be our life. Although some people have a calm life, they also have passion; some people have a high position in their life, but they also feel at a loss. Whether a person's merits outweigh his faults in this life, or whether his faults outweigh his merits, is only evaluated by future generations based on their understanding. In this long history, we are all just participating in one event. It's enough to let your own charm bloom. Why should it depend on the evaluation of others.
"Getting rich and noble without justice is like a floating cloud to me." How many gentlemen are there? I believe that most people living in troubled times will choose to be rich and noble unjustly. If a modest gentleman cannot survive, he will still need a gentleman's demeanor.
This book, written with clear ideas, shows Li Si's character from another perspective. Use the era to set off the characters, and use the characters to reflect the era. Li Si, a gravedigger of the old era and the founder of the new era. The author shows the complex character of this character from an objective perspective. He is from a poor background, has a positive attitude, does not succumb to fate, is talented, is also narrow-minded and keen on interests, has a cowardly character, and has a long-term vision. The author cleverly connects the characters with the times. Under the rolling tide of history, one can also see the ups and downs of individuals. The argument is well-founded and based on history. The explanation of Li Si's history is more logical and clear, easy to understand, and shows this character vividly [Like]
After watching Li Si's Life, I felt quite complicated. When people are young, they set great ambitions, know their own way, learn to strengthen themselves, have high morale, and unswervingly move towards their goals. When they are young, they work bravely throughout their lives, move forward with their goals, and walk on their own life path. Use your intelligence and talents for your own selfish gain. Calculate the world and people's hearts. In the end, he will be rewarded with glory and wealth. When you are old, you have obtained what you dreamed of when you were young. You only want to keep your roots. You are afraid of losing what you have gained. You lose your fighting spirit. You care about the head and tail. In the end, you have no ambition to fight as a youth, let alone the grand strategy of youth. I am worried that I may lose a lot in old age and be trapped by the machinations of the rats. In the end, things become too prosperous, dragons and phoenixes fall together, and what is gained is lost. In the final analysis, Master Li is an ordinary person. He started by watching rats to understand his will, and worked his way up from the bottom. He observes words and colors, and uses wisdom to make plans. He assisted the Emperor of Qin in his great cause, but protected his own interests when the current situation became turbulent. Walking too far, standing too high, being caught up in the tide of the times and unable to control yourself, you can only be forced to push forward, and will eventually be counterattacked by the general trend. It's so sad. Some words are typed wrong😂😂😓
This book explains Li Si's life from an objective perspective. He has achievements, mistakes, peerless talents, and cowardice. In the end, it is like a big dream, which is somewhat similar to the feeling of reading Dream of Red Mansions.
This book has many similarities with Teacher Du Yinshan's Qin Shihuang. They can be read in conjunction with each other, which is more conducive to deep memory. Li Si is probably the best that an ordinary person can achieve. He is more resourceful and less decisive, which should be Li Si's biggest problem. Overall, Li Si was born for Qin Shihuang. When Qin Shihuang died, Li Si also went with him. It was Li Si who created Qin Shihuang, and Qin Shihuang created Li Si.
This book describes the ups and downs of Li Si, the founding hero of the Qin Empire. His contribution to the Qin Dynasty in his life was not insignificant. In the end, because of a word of profit, he went to the abyss of death and annihilation, which is very sad. The author's detailed and vivid descriptions of the characters' expressions and psychology seem to have really brought us closer to that "one-in-a-lifetime" era, allowing us to immerse ourselves in every fate-related decision made by Li Si. In addition, key figures such as Qin Shihuang, Hu Hai, and Zhao Gao are also described with flesh and blood, making it a pleasure to read.
Zhao Gaoxing, he asked Li Si to see him at the wrong time. He lied to Li Si in prison more than a dozen times and gave up hope. He also mistook a deer for a horse, confused right and wrong, deceived superiors and deceived others, coerced and induced. It was not clear enough what he was thinking. It was like a Tyrannosaurus rex thought its tail was ugly and wanted to After eating his own tail, he would no longer be able to maintain his balance. The Qin Empire could only fall down and face the earth with its bloody mouth. There was not a single capable minister. In this way, he helped the tyrants to do harm, and he had no sense of crisis. In the end, he thought of supporting Qin Prince Ying and puppeting the Qin King. Zhao Gao has a hexagram, which should be mountain peeling. From the very beginning, Li Si had to distinguish between righteousness and benefit, and Quanquan chose benefit. Only Ying Zheng could use him, and a benevolent king would not control him. A fatuous king would be blown up to heaven by him in order to protect himself. It was the First Emperor who fulfilled Li Si, otherwise in the other six countries, It is absolutely impossible to become the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty and be famous throughout the ages. Secondly, he is proud and underestimates the enemy. It is true that ordinary people may not make the same choice as him, so Zhang Juzheng is the right path, and he will retire after success. Hu Hai was infected by the First Emperor. The world was impermanent and he enjoyed himself as much as he could. He was infected by the First Emperor's attitude, but he also had regrets in the same entertainment and excitement. He turned decades and more than ten years into two years. He should use Zhuangzi to answer the emperor's fallacies. The First Emperor was a law for success, a law for decline, and a law for defeat. Most of the first generation of the dynasty had the highest martial arts. They were emperors immediately, and they should rest and recuperate later. Because of the law, Li Si was used by him to unify the six countries. Because of the law, Fusu and the Meng brothers died unexpectedly and did not dare to interfere. Because of the law, the country was rich and the army was strong. Because of the law, the tired people and gangsters were on foot. They rose up and cut down trees to become soldiers. How many first emperors and how many emperors were there? Emperor Wu? There are tens of millions of disciples of the Dharma, but not a single First Emperor. How many kings of Qin have there been? There are no survivors of the sixth generation of the Qin Dynasty. Times make heroes. The economic base determines the superstructure, and the superstructure also affects the economic base. This is right! Mudd, this is right. To distinguish between righteousness and benefit in life, one should have a yardstick, bear the infamy of one life, and create peace for all generations. The hero of the enemy and the enemy of mine always have gains and losses. There is a measure, a measure, and it is true to measure and grasp. Li Si sorted out the weights and measures, and did he find the yardstick and balance? , A strong dragon has regrets, but it cannot be promoted. Now the game level is infinite, there will never be a peak or an end, and the most flying dragons are in the sky. Life is like a golden shovel that combines fetters, a main fetter, add pendants or small fetters, and a crown to break the population limit and then upgrade other fetters. Taking history as a mirror can help us understand the ups and downs.
I like Ying Zheng's description better. Although he is reckless, he can still listen to advice. He is not so confused. Li Si's description is not profound enough. I prefer Ying Zheng to do whatever he says. If I make a mistake, I will correct it, but I must intimidate you. This is the talent of an emperor.
The whole book not only writes about Li Si's life, but also the life of Qin Shihuang and the "life" of the Qin Dynasty. Li Si's fate is firmly tied to them. I really admire him. From toilet rat to hamster, it is a very inspiring story, but he did make a lot of mistakes. I think this is very reasonable. He is a real person and cannot be perfect. It all depends on what others think of him. For me, he is really inspiring [like] Oh, yes, the writing is good [like]
It's not finished yet, it's so well written, and the characters are well drawn. When a person is about to die, he also has a good saying, "You can't lead the yellow dog again." What you miss most is the ordinary days and simple happiness. The world is a big dream, and life has its cool moments in autumn. It's nothing more than singing and sighing three times, and sleeping on the yellow beam.
This is a short biography book about Li Si. It tells the story of Li Si's life. In the first half of his life, he worked as a small official in Shangcai County, equivalent to today's urban management, studied Xunzi, became a disciple of Lu Buwei, and finally became the prime minister of Zuo in the Qin Dynasty and was granted the title of Tonghou. Assisted Qin Shihuang to unify the six countries and unify weights and measures. However, the ending was quite tragic. From the Sand Dune Incident, his life went downhill. He gave in to Zhao Gao and killed the Fusu and Meng brothers. In the end, he was manipulated and framed step by step, and was cut in half by the Heyi clan. There is hard work and perseverance, but there is also greed and cruelty. For example, the part where he killed Han Fei was really vicious. This is a controversial figure.
After reading the whole book, I was deeply impressed by three deaths: the death of Han Fei, the deaths of Fusu and Meng brothers, and the death of Li Si. The biggest impact was the death of Li Si, which was also due to the fact that Li Si, as the protagonist of this book, described his final tragic ending in detail. The important minister who created the world and the sinner who destroyed the industry, Li Si is neither a saint nor a devil, just a profit-seeking mortal. I have been running for profit all my life, but in the end I fell for it. What I miss when I die is the ordinary days of leading yellow dogs and chasing cunning rabbits. It is sad and lamentable. The ending of Li Si is really tragic. The mortal Li Si was tortured to death by Zhao Gao, a villain with no bottom line. The last chapter was painful to watch. Si, dragon; Gao, maggot. Li Zhi's evaluation is very appropriate.
This book starts from the personal life of Li Si and tells the story of his life, with ups and downs, merits and demerits, and brings Li Si's personal image to life on the page. He made great achievements in the Qin Dynasty, but also ruined the Qin Dynasty by mistake. Among them, he was selfishly pursuing Sui, which gave me a deeper understanding of the Qin Dynasty.
Li Si's veil was unveiled for the first time. I have never known Li Si so deeply. I have always seen the opposite side of him. A petty official from Chu State to Cai State seized the opportunity and became the prime minister of a country through his own efforts. Who can deeply feel the hard work and hard work along the way. His contribution to the Qin State may be indispensable to the entire system of feudal society, but he is a typical egoist. It was because of this one but that he ruined himself and the Qin Dynasty. His hard work in pursuing his goals is admirable. Sometimes you should not lower your head but raise your head and look around.
The author's writing style is beautiful, and he has translated ancient texts. His comments are always well-sourced, and he quotes scriptures with great rigor. He vividly interprets Li Si's life for us. In summary: Qin's success is also due to Li Si, and its failure is also due to Li Si!
Regardless of whether the ending is good or bad, Li Si's life is wonderful. He is unwilling to be ordinary, has great ambitions, and succeeds in the end.
Take history as a mirror. After reading history, you realize how insignificant you are. Historical celebrities are great but they are also criticized.
2025.2.9.16.00 Qin Shihuang was humiliated in other countries when he was a child, and his character was distorted. After returning home, he saw Lu Buwei and his mother messing around, and he was also dissatisfied. After taking power, he began to kill decisively. After cleaning up the internal affairs, he began to merge the six countries and recruit talents. Even though he was hated by many people and was assassinated by many people in the process. He was unmoved, probably because of the humiliation he suffered when he was a child, so he was determined. After the merger, due to historical reasons, some people in other countries actually hated him, but he had no good way to deal with it. He could only make everyone busy and have no time to rest, so that there would be no time to think. But during the trip, his luxury was seen by others, so later Liu Bang, Xiang Yu and other figures appeared. At first, everyone hated him for destroying their own country, but gradually it turned into a struggle for power. So desire inflates people. The only emperor through the ages was also because he calmed down the turmoil in the country and merged the six countries. He had no experience and could only cross the river by feeling the stones, so many things were not done perfectly, but I think he had done his best at that time. Summary: 1. If you don't train your mind well when you are a child, you will definitely not be able to achieve anything when you grow up. This is how you see old age at the age of three. 2. Childhood personality and background determine future achievements and abilities. 3. Read a book when you have no experience, listen to other people's opinions and consider them comprehensively, and finally read your fortune. 4. Recruit wise men and raise a bunch of them, they will always come in handy. 5. Interest is the eternal pursuit. Don't be blinded by short-term interests. This is self-destruction. You must accumulate wealth and have long-term plans. 6. Once people do not have long-term plans and thinking, they will become food for others.
An ambitious mortal, leading a glorious and sad life.
People have benefited a lot from this book. The author does not simply use extremism to evaluate Li Si's good and evil deeds. Instead, he takes a full perspective and without emotion, truly representing the complexity of Li Si's personality. At the same time, characters such as Zhao Gao, Qin Shihuang, Qin II, and Han Fei are portrayed, allowing readers to have a certain objective understanding of them, and further enriching Li Si's character image.
Historical figures are full of flesh and blood in this book, and everyone in the world likes to "close the coffin", but people's hearts are complicated, let alone set it in the treacherous late Warring States period of Bo Yun. Li Si had a magnificent life. Although later generations have quite complicated evaluations of him, looking at his life, showing his prominence in his late forties, and the combined efforts of the emperor and his ministers to sweep away the enemy, it still inspires people and brings tears to their eyes. Even his cowardice makes me feel sad.
The author has both historical and literary skills. It's a good book!
A great book, we learned a lot of stories and felt a lot Li Si's life trajectory can see the struggle and decline of an extreme interest person. His rat philosophy is amazing, but his moral character has been criticized repeatedly; Han Fei will eventually be an indelible stain on him, and the change in Dune is the most The biggest failure was that he was still blinded by interests. Ying Zheng's phrase "Li Si is cowardly" hit the nail on the head. Under Zhao Gao's pressing step by step, Li Si always passively defended, and finally ended up sighing that "he can no longer lead the yellow dog", which is regrettable. Worth pondering
It is really well written. It is not just about Li Si, but also about the times and thoughts. It has a strong sense of substitution. The ending and the beginning form a closed loop. After reading it, I feel shocked but also have an indescribable touch of sadness.
It is well written, logically compact, dissected layer by layer, and has good literary talent [Sending my heart]
Li Si's biggest mistake was to be persuaded by Zhao Gao to make the idiot Hu Hai his second son. The second emperor of Qin died. The idiot Hu Hai was definitely the biggest reason.
The writing style of this book is very interesting, like telling a story, narrating Li Si's life. The author's writing style is also good, and the wording is very precise, making it easy for people to understand what Li Si did. I particularly hate the character of Li Si. He will do whatever it takes to benefit his own interests, and even tamper with the imperial edict. He is really a selfish person. But this book also made me understand that people should not only consider themselves, but also have morality and conscience.
More realistic without deifying the protagonist
Everything you've done, good and bad, will come back, it's just a matter of time.
