Lu Zushuo Shi Ji

The poor Taoist Lu Yan, known as Lu Dongbin in the world, has read history for thousands of years and has seen through the rise and fall of success and failure, as well as the warmth and warmth of human nature. The purpose of opening Tai Shigong's "Historical Records" today is not to talk about ancient times, but to illuminate today's people - it is written for everyone who is in turmoil, deeply involved in internal affairs, confused and entangled. From the perspective of Lu Zu, this book interprets the essence of "Historical Records" in a popular way, and writes about emperors, generals, assassins, knights, and loyal ministers and righteous men. If you write about the overlord Xiang Yu, you will be able to conquer mountains and rivers with great power; if you write about the assassin Jing Ke, you will be courageous and heroic for thousands of years; if you write about Liu Bang and Zhang Liang, you will hide your strength and be humble, and achieve success in a stable manner. It is not boring, not obscure, and not chicken soup. It has domineering exaggeration, heroic empathy, and the correct wisdom of the Four Books and Five Classics. From Xiang Yu's arrogance and defeat to Liu Bang's forbearance and success; from an assassin's promise of a thousand gold to Han Xin's enduring humiliation and becoming famous, this book turns thousands of years of history into the most practical way of life for modern people. Whether you are a migrant worker, an entrepreneur, a scholar, or an ordinary person, you can learn about advancement and retreat, choices, strengths and weaknesses, successes and failures. There is no nihilistic cultivation here, only the right path in the world; there is no empty preaching, only the truth. Teach you to be talented but not arrogant, to be courageous but not violent, to be powerful but not arrogant, to be patient in times of difficulty, to keep your heart in the thick of things, to gain momentum in turbulence, and to accumulate strength in troughs. Reading a volume of history will set your mind for a lifetime. I hope that after reading this book, you will have confidence inside, harmony outside, righteousness in your bones, and stability in your conduct, so that you can settle down in troubled times and achieve success in the ordinary.
