"Guiguzi" Sample Essay 1
"Guiguzi" is a study A classic work on strategy and power tactics in ancient social and political struggles. In fact, I didn't know much about it, but as soon as I saw this book in the bookstore, I felt that it was different.
When I turned the first page, I couldn’t put it down. The one that impressed me the most was the second article "Reaction Technique". "If you don't see the shape and circle, you can use the Tao to understand it. If you see the shape, you can understand the matter." This sentence impressed me the most. This sentence also reminds me of a living example? Yan Zi made Chu: Yan Zi was a native of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period. He was unattractive, short in stature, and looked unremarkable. But he was so talented and quick-witted that few people in the country could compare with him. He quickly achieved a distinguished position with his sharp tongue and abundant knowledge. Once, Yan Zi was sent as an envoy to the State of Chu on the order of the King of Chu. The King of Chu saw that Yan Zi was so short and wanted to ridicule him. To show the dignity and power of one's country. He expected that Yanzi would endure the ridicule, but he was wrong. The King of Chu made things difficult for Yan Zi again and again, so Yan Zi and the King of Chu quarreled. After the King of Chu learned Yan Zi's power, he never dared to make things difficult for him again?
This made me understand a truth. : In the face of malicious attacks, you cannot blindly avoid or tolerate them, but you must counterattack appropriately, or switch skillfully, or retort, or fight to maintain your dignity. Otherwise, the other party will take advantage of it and put itself into a passive position. Here, Yanzi used the principle of harmony to induce the other party, and used the strategy of taking advantage of the situation to put the other party into an embarrassing situation, while preserving the dignity of himself and the country.
This reminds me of my own current situation: whenever others say bad things about me and other malicious attacks, I always avoid and tolerate them. As a result, I am always bullied by them, and they get more and more bullied every time. Pushing further and further, I finally couldn't help it, and there was a volcanic eruption? But the consequences were really unsightly?
When I slowly closed the book "Guiguzi", I still had endless aftertaste, as if Beat the drum in your heart, and the lingering sound lingers.
When I close my eyes, I seem to be dreaming about the time that has passed thousands of years? Gongsun Yan, whose talent is unappreciated and whose ambition is hard to realize; Guiguzi, who is clever and calculating and sits in the mountains; Wei, who is sophisticated and knows everything like a god. Mr. Wei Xuan, who is eager to win and greedy for profit?
In the ups and downs of the story, I also gained some insights. First, if you are too competitive, you will not succeed in the end; second, we must always have a sense of moderation in everything we do in life.
There is no one who is too competitive than the crown prince of Wei State, Wei Xian. The Wei soldiers led by the young and energetic Wei Xuan were brave and good at fighting. When they attacked the Weiguo city, he originally planned to capture the city in five days. Unexpectedly, after eight days of continuous attack, the city still stood. The mighty Wei Tiejun could do nothing even to the weakly defended city. He couldn't lose face, so he launched a fierce attack in anger, burning, killing, raping and looting, doing everything. Dazzled by desire, his thoughts have been distorted. Every time he captures a city, he feels that he has accomplished something great. Later, Gongsun Yang specially set up a snake formation to lure Wei Yan to the bait. As a veteran general, Long Jia earnestly warned Wei Xian that this was a trick, but he was blinded by his previous victory, full of confidence, and kept advancing without retreating. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were eventually defeated.
Seeing Wei Xun's tragic ending, I can't help but think of my studies in the first volume of seventh grade, which can be said to be the same as Wei Xun's competitiveness. I have just come into contact with a new campus in seventh grade. I really want to perform well and hope to surpass others. But it didn't work out as I expected, and my grades couldn't keep me at the top of the class. I was worried about this. I went to talk to the teacher and I asked why I have never been able to surpass others? Was my starting point wrong? The teacher told me: "Others are not your opponent, you are your own opponent. You must try to be the best version of yourself and surpass yourself." "Myself." I obeyed and tried to calm down and study slowly. Every time I took an exam, I would summarize my experience and compare it with the previous exams. As long as I made progress, I would be very happy. Therefore, sometimes being too competitive can backfire on you.
Everyone should have a degree of restraint, and must know how to balance firmness and softness, and be relaxed and relaxed.
Just like Duke Wei. Qi Wei Gong praised him like this: "Wei Gong is by no means an idle person. Although he is submissive in small matters, he is always clear-cut in big matters. Even though Ji Su (referring to Wei Gong) shows weakness everywhere and timidity from time to time, there is one thing you must not do. If you don’t accept it, for twenty years, there have been wars all over the world, but the country has been peaceful and the people are safe without a trace of war.”
Contact us in our daily lives. In life, we should be both strong and soft, advancing and retreating, both to our teachers and elders and to our classmates and friends. To be strong and unyielding, to stick to your own personality and your own principles. If you retreat, you should know how to put yourself in someone else's shoes, be more considerate of others, and deal with unhappy things rationally instead of doing things rashly based on impulse.
Slowly opening my eyes, I couldn't help but marvel at the mystery of the book "Guiguzi's Bureau". This seems like reading other people's lives, but in fact I am watching the ever-changing world! I slowly imagined that I have become Guiguzi's fifth disciple, and he leads me to decipher the situation that has been sealed for thousands of years?
Since I got this book, I have learned a lot about society. This is really a classic.
"Guiguzi" Review Sample 2
In this era of overflowing books, it is not easy to find a good book and write a lot of review after reading it. Turn on the Internet, In this fictional world that extends in all directions, there is nothing you can't find, only things you can't think of. Walking on the street, you will also see masterpieces such as "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Guiguzi" that have cost many lives because of half of the fragments, lying on the roadside stalls for only 15 yuan.
Feeling curious, I picked up the slightly yellowed "Guiguzi" and flipped through it. Guiguzi is a very mysterious person. Even though I love classical Chinese and history, I don't know anything about him. There are very few records about him. The reason why he is famous in history is because of his disciples. Su Qin and Zhang Yi, who dominated the world during the Warring States Period, are said to be Guiguzi's disciples, as well as Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Mao Sui, Xu Fu, Le Yi, Cai Ze, Zou Ji, Huang Shi, Li Si, etc., with such an all-star lineup of apprentices, Guiguzi can't even think about becoming famous.
It is said that Guiguzi’s knowledge is very profound and not everyone can learn it, but as long as he learns one skill, he can conquer the world. This advertising slogan is really contagious. It made me couldn't help but spend 15 yuan to buy it, and then go home to savor how to control the world.
It took me a whole winter vacation to finish reading. The book is not thick, it can be said to be a bit thin, but the reason why I read it so slowly is because the wisdom hidden in it needs to be savored carefully. "Guiguzi" is a book about political strategy. It can be said that it taught me how to use my mind and how to calculate others. Before seeing the shape and circle, use the Tao, that is, seeing the shape before seeing the matter, which means that when the situation is not clear, use the round strategy to confuse the opponent, and after the situation is clear, use the square strategy to defeat the opponent. Doesn't this teach us to be tactful in life, to be round on the outside and square on the inside, and to combine the round and square to eliminate the enemy without realizing it? No wonder "Guiguzi" has always been shameless for Confucianism. Perhaps this is something that people who understand the "plots of princes" should master. But a book is just a thing, an object outside the body. It depends on how we use it.
The art of smashing and closing in the first article is either yin or yang, hard or soft, the composition material is "Reflections after Reading "Guiguzi"". It means that everything must be done with both strength and softness, and the harmony of yin and yang. In my education work, I work with leaders, colleagues, and students. We all advance and retreat. To advance is to be unyielding, show your own personality and stick to your own principles. Retreat, know how to put yourself in someone else's shoes, be more considerate of others, and resolve unhappy things rationally rather than relying solely on impulse.
The second reaction technique is to listen to what is said. Obviously, the meaning of this sentence is to listen to other people's superficial words and try to figure out the meaning. It also includes the process of listening to the other person's words, being good at inducing the other person to speak, and using the other person's remarks to understand the true situation of the matter. In teaching, we often encounter students with difficult problems to deal with. Sometimes they cannot communicate, psychologically refuse to communicate with the teacher, and sometimes they cannot express what they mean when they speak. The reaction technique taught me "Listen to the truth and understand the similarities." If you are different, you will be deceived." That is to say, if you want to understand the inside story of the other party, you must be good at using imitation and analogy methods. Similar voices can echo each other, open the other party's heart, and refine their words to get the information you want. .
For example, tell the students that the teacher was very naughty when he was a child and made the same mistake as you. What did I think and how did I do it? Once I tell the students, the students will naturally find ***Ming and tell them. Use your own ideas and then use his words to figure out how to solve his problems.
Guiguzi is a book full of wisdom. Our teacher often mentions some of his own educational methods, and I can see or understand them in the book. Some people may say that reading "Guiguzi" will make people become fake and face everyone with a colored mask. In fact, it is not the case. I think that making oneself fake is going too far. Just like money, we need money. Pursue money, but don’t pursue it too much. We must control money instead of being controlled by money. This is called backlash. Backlash will be latent because it is silent and belongs to you loyally! Things can be humanized, but People must not be objectified, as objectified people will become indifferent and cruel. In short, understand yourself clearly, and then comprehend the wisdom in "Guiguzi" so that you can step into a virtuous circle of people and people, people and things, and people and things, and make your working and living environment more harmonious.
Sample essay three of "Guiguzi" after reading
After learning about Maya recently, I always like to ask people to do their calculations after their birthdays. Yesterday someone said that she did not dare to see me for fear of being seen through by me. After I laughed, I thought: Am I too sharp?
Recently, I have been meeting high-ranking people, and I often feel like I am being ignored by others. The feeling of seeing through.
So I found the book "Guiguzi" and learned the great wisdom of being a human being. On the one hand, it is to know people, and on the other hand, it is to show the side of myself that I want to show so that others can know me.
Guiguzi said that "the mouth is the door to the heart", that is, language is the door to the soul, so there is "communication starts from the heart", knowing people, that is, knowing the heart, Guiguzi's nine mind-reading skills :
Ninth: The art of reading people's minds
Principle: What changes in one's emotions inside is visible on the outside; therefore one must always know what is hidden by what one sees; this is what is called measuring Deeply affectionate.
Note: Psychological changes will inevitably be reflected on the outside, so it is necessary to obtain the existing conditions through the ability to observe words and colors to deduce what the other party knows and thinks.
Thoughts: On May 4th, a customer from a famous company discussed cooperation. Another friend said: You should be careful about this person. When he took out his business card from his pocket, there was only a crumpled one. I guessed whether his business card was real: he didn't sit there and listen like us, but was running around, so If I were you, I would first confirm the authenticity of his identity.
Enlightenment: Pay more attention to the small movements of key people around you.
Eighth: Mind-reading skills
Principle: Those who want to speak must be concealed, and those who plan things must be obedient.
Note: If you want to lobby, you must make psychological assumptions, and you must follow rules when planning things.
Thoughts: A word I often hear recently is: thinking from a consumer perspective. Li Qian is still doing consumer exercises, observing one thing every day and writing 10 reasons for buying or not buying.
Only by guessing others can we better understand others and thus persuade others.
Seventh: Mind-reading
Principle: The plan must be thorough; the place must be chosen and explained to the person who understands it.
Note: Planning must be thorough, and you must choose to communicate with people who share your mind.
Thinking: careful, there are two levels of thinking. One is the rigor of the logic of speech; the other is the need to master more useless knowledge. Therefore, you can speak human language when you see people, and you can tell ghosts when you see ghosts.
Sixth: Mind-reading by comparing images
Principle: The image is like the thing, and the comparison is like the words
Note: The image is the image of the thing. Everything has an image, and comparison means comparing and contrasting words. All words are contrastive.
Thoughts: "Xiang" is just a story. A topical story.
It is better to tell stories than to reason. The story is more engaging and easier for everyone to remember.
The image of "chiseling the wall to borrow light" is to express Kuang Heng's love for reading, and the "cone thorn" is to express Su Qin's hard work. Perhaps these things are fabricated, but they can be easily accepted by people.
In terms of marketing, the parent-child stories of three fathers and the story of 55 Degree Cup’s daughter’s burn scars on her neck are all still fresh in people’s memories.
In fact, marketing is also about telling stories.
Fifth: Questioning and mind-reading
Principle: If there is a discrepancy in what you say, ask for it instead, and it will surely come out.
Note: When there is a misunderstanding in communication between the two parties, use reaction techniques to obtain the other party's true feelings.
Thoughts: When the other party’s ideas deviate from ours, we might as well prepare a few questions to guide the other party to the point. During the communication process, learn to ask questions, especially rhetorical questions, and you can easily take the initiative in the negotiation. Furthermore, when the other party's ideas are different from your own, you might as well provide a question as a trap to let the other party take the bait and then read the other party's mind.
During yesterday’s discussion, Mr. Cao asked a series of questions that instantly opened up the two channels of Ren and Du.
Only by asking good questions can you get good answers.
Fourth: Mind Reading
Principle: Those who do not see the kind but do it will see the opposite. Those who do not understand the situation and say it are wrong.
Note: Those who lobby before the situation is clear will definitely backfire; those who lobby before they have a grasp of the actual situation are bound to fail.
Thought: "You are not a fish, how can you know what a fish is thinking?" A true master of communication must know how to understand psychology and classify it. Recently, I have come to understand the sentence better, "You are not me, and you cannot understand why I made this choice."
In many cases, only by understanding the person's background can we better understand why he said and did what he did.
Third: Observation and mind-reading
Principle: Therefore, the mouth is a mechanism, so feelings are closed.
Note: What you say is what you think, so you need to be careful in your words and deeds, and keep your emotions closed.
Thought: This sentence should be posted on the computer. Many times, you will unconsciously fall into the role of a talkative person and love to talk too much. I also know: the more you talk, the more you make mistakes.
So if you want to talk, you must learn to shut up.
If you want to read minds, you must first learn to be silent. Only by talking less can we have more opportunities to observe and think.
Second: Reaction Mind Reading
Principle: Instead, observe the past, and overlay it to examine the future; Instead, use it to know the past, and overlay it to know the present; Instead, to know the enemy, and overlay it to know yourself. .
Annotation: Look back on the past and examine the future; examine history and understand the present; gain insight into the other party and understand yourself.
Thoughts: When I listened to "The Pivot" last month, I especially felt like connecting the past with the present. Only by understanding history can we better understand the present. Only by understanding the general environment can we better understand market changes; and in communication, we must also learn to think in reverse thinking, change space, and change time, so that the other party can explain their psychological resonance and achieve emotional success. Only then can the purpose of mind-reading lobbying be more easily accomplished.
First: Listening and mind-reading
Principle: When others speak, they move, but when they remain silent, they remain silent. Listen to his words.
Note: Others’ speaking is dynamic, while your own silence is static. You can read the other person’s psychology based on their words.
Thoughts: A person who truly understands Guigu’s secret art and the art of silence must be a master of listening. A good listener knows how to listen to what is being said, and can hear the hidden meanings and make use of them. A good listener understands, observes and figures out, and sees through people's hearts.
Starting today, be a good listener.
More than 10 years ago, what I hated most was when others commented that I was smart, and the same is true today.
Hope I can move from cleverness to wisdom?
