    The Legend of Zangfeng: The Way of Survival for the Strong in the Mountains and Forests During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a vast mountain forest stretching thousands of miles in the Chu region, named Woyunling. In the mountains, birds and animals multiply, vegetation flourishes, and the laws of the weak and the strong, and the survival of the fittest, are played out every day. Everyone says that this mountain forest is a microcosm of the human world. Every creature that can live in the mountains for more than ten years understands the true meaning of survival. However, the one who can truly reach the top and become the king and be stable for a long time is never the one who is the most flamboyant, the most ferocious, and the one who loves the limelight. In Woyunling, there once came a tiger king who was famous all over the world, his name was Liefeng. The strong wind is majestic, the fur is shiny, the word "" on the forehead is as clear as an engraving, the roar can shatter the boulders in the valley, and the claws are sharp, and a single swipe can tear a mature wild boar apart. He has been a genius in the tiger tribe since he was a child. He can hunt alone at the age of six months. He defeats all opponents of his tribe at the age of one. At the age of two, he sweeps across Woyun Ridge, drives away the old wolf king, subdues the fox, wolf, deer, and rabbit tribes, and becomes the undisputed overlord of the ridge. The principle that Li Feng believes in the most is that "the strong should show their sharpness and make all living beings in the world fear me, respect me, and obey me." It patrols the mountain three times a day. Everywhere it goes, it roars loudly, scaring all the beasts to the ground, trembling, and not daring to raise their heads. It never uses any strategy when hunting, but only relies on brute force to rush forward. No matter how deep the prey is hiding, it must chase it out by force. It must bite the prey until it is dripping with blood in full view of the public, in order to show its majesty. It never knows how to restrain itself. Whenever the leader of any tribe is slightly disobedient, or any bird or beast dares to secretly talk about it, it will immediately step forward to punish it, ranging from biting to death directly, without mercy. In just three years, no living being in Woyun Ridge dared to resist the strong wind. When all living beings saw it, they had to take a detour, not even daring to breathe. Liefeng felt that this was true power. His sharpness shocked the entire forest. He would never have an opponent and could always sit firmly on the throne. But it doesn't know that if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them; if the trees are too sharp, disaster will follow. Its publicity has already secretly laid the root of its demise. The first people to be dissatisfied were the remnants of the old wolf king who were driven away by it. The wolves were originally cunning and forbearing. They were defeated by the strong wind with brute force and lost their territory and food. Their hearts were filled with resentment. They did not dare to confront the strong wind head-on, so they hid deep in the dense forest every day, observing the strong wind's habits and recording its patrol routes, hunting habits, and temperament weaknesses. They discovered that Gale was too conceited, never hiding its whereabouts, never taking precautions, always rushing to the front in everything, for fear that others would not see its majesty; it was impulsive, irritable and competitive, and would lose its mind at the slightest provocation and pursue it desperately. The second dissatisfied are the beasts that it has suppressed all year round. The deer, rabbit, and sheep tribes live in fear every day, not knowing when they will become the food of the strong wind; the fox tribe, the intelligent creatures like the mink tribe, are in fear every day, for fear that if they say something wrong, they will be killed. Everyone is afraid of the strong wind, but everyone is looking forward to its collapse in their hearts. It's just that everyone doesn't dare to say it or do it. They can only endure it silently and wait for an opportunity to overturn it. Liefeng knew nothing about this and still acted domineeringly every day, showing off his minions and showing off his majesty. It feels that all forbearance is cowardice, and all low-keyness is incompetence. Only by showing all the edge and making no one dare to resist can one be truly strong. Until the late autumn of the fifth year, Woyunling encountered a severe drought that had never been seen in a century. The river dried up, the vegetation withered and turned yellow, and the prey decreased sharply. Food is getting less and less, and Gale's temper is getting more and more violent. If he can't catch food, he will kill weak creatures at will to vent his anger. The roars when patrolling the mountains are getting more and more fierce, and the methods of punishing the creatures are getting more and more cruel. The fear of the beasts finally turned into despair, and under despair came desperate resistance. The old wolf king seized this opportunity, secretly united all the ethnic groups who were dissatisfied with Li Feng, and made a plan to kill him. They know that they can never defeat Gale in a head-on fight. They can only use its sharpness and pride to lure it into the game, and then attack it in groups. That day, the wolves deliberately left a fat and injured antelope on the path of the strong wind. The antelope's blood trail extended all the way to the Valley of Despair, which was surrounded by mountains on three sides and had only a narrow road in and out. Liefeng smelled the smell of blood from a distance and saw the figure of the antelope. Without thinking, he roared and chased after it. It didn't even bother to check if there were any traps ahead. In its eyes, the entire mountain forest belonged to it. No living being dared to devise a plan to harm it, and no living being could harm it. It rushed all the way into the Valley of Desolation. As soon as it caught up to the antelope, hundreds of wild wolves suddenly emerged from the surrounding dense forest. The huge boulder at the entrance of the valley instantly rolled down, completely blocking its retreat. Immediately afterwards, on the cliff, countless birds and beasts pushed down boulders and rolled down dead branches. The creatures of all races who had been hiding in the dark all rushed out with red eyes. They are not afraid of death. They will starve to death or be bitten to death by the strong wind anyway, so why not risk their lives and overthrow the tyrant who makes them live in hell. Only then did Liefeng panic. It roared and killed the wolves, killing two or three wild wolves with one claw. However, the wolves kept chasing after each other and could not kill them all. It wanted to rush out of the valley mouth, but huge rocks blocked its way out, and rocks from the cliff kept falling. Its majestic fur was soon stained red with blood, its sharp claws gradually lost strength, and its proud roar turned into a painful wail. It couldn't figure it out until it died. It was obviously the strongest creature in the entire forest, why did it end up like this? Why do those cowardly, small creatures who don't even dare to look up at it dare to unite to kill it? After Li Feng died, Woyunling was in chaos for several months. The wolves wanted to be king again, but the wolves were cunning and liked to fight among themselves, and all the tribes refused to accept it. Other strong beasts also jumped out to fight for the throne, still imitating Li Feng, showing off their edge, and fighting each other. In just a few months, Woyun Ridge was littered with corpses, and it was even more chaotic than when Li Feng was alive. At this moment, a figure that had never been noticed by anyone slowly walked into the sight of the beasts. It is a black bear named Xuan Shi. It has lived in Woyun Ridge for fifteen years. It has seen countless overlords rise and fall, and it has seen countless flamboyant creatures die early. Xuan Shi is so big and powerful that no creature in the entire Woyun Ridge can be its opponent in a single fight. But in this life, it has never been arrogant, never roared to show off its strength, and has never killed weak creatures at will. Even many young creatures did not know that there was such a powerful black bear in the mountains. It only hunts in the early morning and evening every day. It never hunts pregnant females or young creatures. It only takes enough food to satisfy its hunger every time. Any more will not hurt it. When other creatures fight, it never joins in the fun. When someone provokes it, despises it, or even secretly steals its food, it never gets angry or fights back. It just hides away silently and finds food in another place. When Li Feng was alive, Xuan Shi would always hide in the deepest dense forest and never show his face. He would always avoid Li Feng's mountain patrol route. Even if he could easily defeat Li Feng, he would never fight for the throne. When the wolves and other tribes were fighting, Xuan Shi still stayed in his cave, not helping anyone or expressing any opinions, as if the disputes in the world had nothing to do with it. All the beasts laughed at it for being cowardly, incompetent, and timid. They said that it had no strength, but was like a shrunken turtle, and could never achieve great things in its life. Faced with these ridicules and contempt, Xuan Shi never defended or refuted, let alone proved his strength. It just bows its head silently, eats its own food, sleeps its own sleep, nourishes its own strength, and keeps its own heart. It understands a truth: true strength is never to make everyone afraid of you, but to make everyone feel at ease; true wisdom is never to reveal all the edges, but to hide all abilities. When you reveal all your strengths, you expose all your weaknesses to your enemies. The more public you are, the more people will be jealous of you, the more people will want to harm you, the more enemies you will make, and the faster you will die. And if you hide your edge, don't compete with others, don't fight with others, don't show off, and don't be domineering, others will not be able to understand your depth, and if they can't find your weaknesses, they won't attack you easily. Only then can you live peacefully, quietly accumulate strength, and when you really need to take action, you can win with one attack. The chaos in Woyunling reached the extreme level. All the fierce and competitive beasts were killed and injured in the fighting. All the beasts were displaced and in danger, and they no longer had the strength to fight. At this time, Xuanshi slowly walked out of the dense forest. It did not roar or show off. It just relied on its own strength to clean up the corpses in the valley, dredge the dry rivers, lead the beasts to find water and food, and stop the fighting among all ethnic groups. It does things fairly, never favors any group, does not bully the weak, and is not afraid of the strong. It will silently help anyone who is in trouble, and gently mediate if there is a dispute. It never says that it is a king, and it never asks all beasts to surrender, but all living creatures spontaneously obey its arrangements, fear it, trust it, and rely on it. No living creature would laugh at its cowardice anymore. Everyone understood that this was the real strong man. It can withstand years of loneliness and contempt, it can resist the desire not to show off or fight, it can keep its true heart in troubled times, and it can silently accumulate strength in the trough. It hid its edge, avoided all disasters and jealousies, survived all turmoil and disputes, and finally sat firmly on the throne without any effort, and sat on the throne for twenty years. In the past twenty years, the weather has been smooth in Woyunling, and all animals are in harmony. There have been no large-scale battles, and no living beings have died because of their domineering behavior. Xuan Shi is still the same as before, not showing off, not domineering, not fighting or grabbing, hiding his own strength, being gentle and living a stable life. Before he died, Xuan Shi said a sentence that has been passed down through the ages to the beasts surrounding him. This sentence has become the way of survival for all the creatures in Woyun Ridge, and it has also become the true wisdom of the strong in the world: "Everyone in the world likes to show off their edge, and they think that showing off means being strong, and being competitive means being capable. But they don't know that the more the edge is exposed, the faster they will die; the more the limelight is, the more urgent the disaster will be. If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it; if one acts higher than others, the crowd will reject it. This is an eternal truth in heaven and earth. Real strong people never like to be in the limelight or show off their talents for a moment. They know how to hide their edge, know how to be humble, know how to be patient, and know how to remain silent. When others compete for fame and wealth, they silently accumulate strength; when others show off, they act in a low-key manner; when others provoke and ridicule, they do not argue. It is not that they are cowardly, but they know that small impatience will mess up big plans, and temporary victory or defeat is nothing. Long-term stability is the real win. Only by being able to endure poverty, loneliness, contempt, grievances, and all the hardships that ordinary people cannot bear, can you enjoy blessings that ordinary people cannot enjoy. Don't complain about the unfairness of fate when you are at a low point, and don't give up on your original intention when you are in trouble. Just hide your edge and be steady. Stay true to your character, work quietly, and persevere silently. The way of heaven will never let down those who are determined and determined. If you survive all the darkness and hide all your strengths, one day you will win the world without making a move, and you will shine with your own light." This is Zang Feng's wisdom, and it is also the most transparent and practical way of survival in the world. It is never the high-profile people who go the furthest, but those who are low-key, reserved, calm and humble, can make steady progress, achieve success, survive all the wind and rain, and usher in their own light.
