Destiny

[Eastern Han Dynasty] Written by Wang Chong

In the Mohist theory, people believe that death is lifeless; in Confucianism, they believe that death is lifeless. Those who have fate, see Zi Xia's words, "Death and life have fate, wealth and wealth are in the sky." Those who have no fate, hear the capital of Liyang, one night will sink into a lake; Qin Jiang Bai Qikeng Zhao Jiang died under Changping , 400,000 people, all die at the same time; in the spring and autumn, the defeated army, the dead will hide the grass, and the corpses will be ten thousand; when the year is hungry, the hungry are full of the road; the temperature and the air epidemic, the thousands of households will be destroyed, if there must be life, how can it be Qin Qi Tongye? Those who have a destiny say: The world is big, the people are all, the capital of Liyang, the pit of Changping, and the same fate will die. It is not surprising. Fate should be drowned, so it gathers in Liyang; fate should be crushed, so it gathers in Changping. In the early days of the ancestors of Judah, the ancestors entered the rich and plentiful state, and there were many princes. They may not be expensive for all ages, men and women. They are often seen when they are outstanding. In the capital of Liyang, there are neither men nor women, the pit of Changping, the young and old are trapped together, among the tens of thousands, there must be people who live for a long time. The time was declining, and the military revolutions rose together, and they could not end their lives. There are long and short lives, and sometimes there are ups and downs, and decay is disease, and it is also the experience of disaster. "

Song, Wei, Chen, and Zheng were in the same day of disaster. Among the people of the four countries, there must be people who have not been declining, but they are all destroyed, and the country is also a mausoleum. Therefore, the fate of the country is better than the life, and the life span is better than the life. People have the appearance of life and death, as well as the law of rich and poor, high and low, which can be seen in the body. Therefore, the short life span is in the sky; the good and evil of bone law are found in the body. Fate is a premature death, although it is different, it will not grow long; Lu is poor and low, although there is goodness, it will not be fulfilled in the end. Xiang Yu died, Gu said his disciple said: "My defeat is fate, not the fault of soldiers." This statement is true. Xiang Yu, the real man, used too much of the ancestors, and since the ancestors, there is destiny. The fate of the country is tied to the stars, and there is good and bad for the country, and the country is blessed and blessed; when the stars go by, people will rise and fall. People have good and bad luck, but years have abundance, life has decline and prosperity, and things have noble and bad. During one year old, one is expensive and one is low; during one life, one is declining and one is prosperous. The high and low of things are not in the abundance and consumption; the decline and prosperity of people are not in the virtues and fools. Zixia said, "Death and life have fate, wealth and wealth are in heaven", instead of saying "Death and life are in heaven, wealth and wealth are destiny", what about? The dead and life have no image in the sky, and sex is the main thing. The nature of strong endowment is strong and strong, strong life is long, and long life is not premature death. People with weak temperament will have less air and sluggishness, while sluggishness will lead to a short life span, and short life will lead to death of fleas. So saying "fate", fate also rules nature. As for the gift of wealth, and the qi of nature, it is the essence of the stars. The stars are in the sky, and the sky has its appearance. If you get rich and noble, you will get rich and noble, and if you get poor and humble, you will be poor and humble, so it is called “in the sky”. How about in the sky? There are hundreds of officials and stars in the sky. The heavens give qi and the stars produce the essence, the qi of the sky, the qi of the stars are in it. People are born with qi, with qi and long, noble is noble, and noble is cheap; nobility or rank has high and low, rich or rich, all are given by the stars and the inferior and the inferior. Therefore, the sky has hundreds of officials, the sky has many stars, the earth has all the people, and the essence of the five emperors and three kings. There are kings and beams, Cepheid, and people also have them, and they are indifferent to their anger, so they are clever in imperialism.

The legend said: "There are three fate, one is right fate, the second is fate, and the third is fate." Right fate means that one's own self-fulfillment is auspicious. The nature is good, so you don’t pretend to behave in order to seek blessings and good fortune, so it is right fate. Those who follow orders, poke force to perform good fortune, indulge in desire and evil, so follow orders. Those who are ordered to do good and get evil are not what they hope to do, but they suffer from evil when they are outside, so they are killed. Mortals are ordered to have good and bad luck when their parents give their breath. The husband's nature is different from the destiny, or the nature is good but the destiny is fierce, or the nature is evil but the destiny is good. Those who practice good and evil have sex; those who do good fortune and bad luck have fate. Either doing good will lead to misfortune, or doing good in nature and fate is evil; or doing evil to get blessings, is doing bad in nature but fate is good. Sex has its own good and evil, and life has its own good and bad. Those with auspicious missions may not be without blessings even though they do not do good; those with fierce fate may not be without misfortunes, although they are reluctant to act. Mencius said: "There is a way to ask, and to get fate." Good nature is what can be asked, and good fate is what can be obtained. Good sex and fierce life, you can't get it if you ask for it. Misfortunes ensue for those who do evil. Pirates and Zhuangzhu are rampant all over the world, gathering thousands of parties, attacking people, cutting off people, and being innocent, they should meet their disasters and end their lives. If the husband is like this, he said as he pleases, what is safe? Those who are ordered, do good at the inside, and suffer from the outside. If Yan Yuan and Bo Niu are followers, how do they suffer? Yan Yuan, Bo Niu, those who do good, should follow their orders, blessings and blessings, why are they murdered? Yan Yuan is trapped in learning, so he commits suicide; Bo Niu lives in an empty space and suffers Sickness. And the followers of Qu Ping and Wu members loyally assisted, exhausted the festival of the king and ministers, while Chu let his body go, Wu Pang his corpse. To do good is to get the blessing of resignation, which is the curse of resignation. What is it? Saying resignation means no resignation, saying resignation means no resignation. The Confucian theory of three destiny, how can it be determined? And fate is in the first birth, bone See you there. Today's words follow the behavior, and this life is at the end, not in the original. The rich and the poor are all at the beginning of their life, not when they grow up, they follow their behavior. Those who live upright will die at a hundred; those who live upright will die at fifty. Those who have been ordered to suffer viciousness at the beginning of their anger means that they suffered evil during pregnancy, or were changed by a thunderstorm and died before they grew up. This is called three lives.

There are also three characteristics: there is righteousness, there is follow, and there is suffering. Those who are positive, are endowed with the five-permanent nature; those who follow, follow the nature of their parents; those who suffer, are also due to the appearance of evil things. Therefore, pregnant women eat rabbits, and their children have missing lips. "The Order of the Moon" said: "It is the moon, and the thunder will speak." Those who do not guard against their tolerance will have children who are unprepared and will be fierce, deaf, lame and blind. Qi was injured by the fetus, so he suffered sexual madness. Sheep tongue resembled when I was born, and sounded like a jackal. I grew up with evil nature and died of misfortune. When he was in his mother, he suffered from this sex, such as Dan Zhu and Shang Jun. Life is at the root, so the "Rite" has the method of prenatal education: When the child is in the body, the seat is not upright or not, the cut is not upright and not eaten, the eyes are not looked at if the color is normal, and the ears are not heard. Long and long, set a good teacher and good teacher, teach the ruler and ministers, father and son, the righteous is not shameful at this time. When receiving anger, if the mother is not cautious and deliberate about evil, the son will grow up, madly rebellious and unkind, and ugly in shape. The law of the plain female to the five daughters of Huangdi Chen is not to hurt the parents, but it is the sex of men and women.

People have fate, luck, encounters, and luck. Those who fate are rich and poor; those who are lucky are those who rise and fall. Taking fate as the rich and noble, and when it is the lucrative of prosperity, it is always safe and not dangerous; when the fate is the poor and the poor, when it is the luke of decline, there will be misfortunes and even misfortunes. Those who suffer are met with extraordinary changes. If you become a prisoner of Tang Xiatai, you will be the king of Wen. With the virtue of the sage, and the change of prisoners, it can be described as suffering. Although the change is very big, the order is good and good, and the change is not harmful, so it is called the disaster. What happened to Yanzi was a big deal. A straight soldier pointed to the chest, with a white blade like a neck, and walking in the land of death, as the front of a sword and halberd, holding on to death to survive. Life is good, good luck is prosperous, and there is a disaster, and you can't hurt it. The capital of Liyang, the pit of Changping, in which there must be people with good luck and prosperity, who will die in the same night. The misfortune is so great that the good will not be able to survive. For example, water and fire are more similar, water is more than fire, and fire is more than water. If you meet, you can use it when you meet its owner. Although there is good destiny and prosperity, it will not be effective if you do not meet the confidant. Fortunately, it is said that what has been touched is good and evil. Fortunately, to get rid of the crime. Not guilty, but unfortunately. After being detained for a long time, he was ordered to be good and good, so that the catastrophe could not hurt him. Ou, that is the king also. In order to matter to the monarch, the monarch is good at his words, so he uses his body, even. The line is obedient to the Lord, retreats far away, not even. Not long after retreat, Shangguan recorded the summons, ordered good luck and prosperity, and he could not stay without incident.

The old husband encounters a lucky spouse, or merges with fate, or leaves with fate. When you encounter a lucky couple, you are finished; when you encounter a misfortune, you are defeated. It is also a fate. Failure to succeed in the middle, the turning of good into evil, is also the one who is separated from the fate. The deceased's life, there are good and bad destiny, there are prosperity and decline, the importance of encountering fortunate encounters, the deeds of good and evil from life and death, and the ambition in his chest is hopeful.
