What does it mean to be proud to meet a sheep and a horse? Why did Guiguzi say that?

Although Pang Juan was a very famous strategist in the ancient history of our country, we all know that the struggle between Pang Juan and Sun Bin can be said to have been with them all their lives. Finally, Pang Juan lost to Sun Bin, and he was also killed. That year, Pang Juan studied with Guiguzi. When he left, Guiguzi once gave Pang Juan an eight-character proverb, which is "the pride of a sheep is destroyed by a horse." What exactly does this sentence mean? It seems that Pang Juan will be proud of "sheep" in the future, but he will die of "horse" in the end. So what do sheep and horses mean here? Why did Guiguzi tell Pang Juan like this? What kind of life did he predict for Pang Juan?

1. From Pang Juan's downhill to Wei's Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, disputes among countries continued. In this bonfire that lasted for hundreds of years, many magical figures appeared. Among many figures, Guiguzi is the most powerful. In addition to his own achievements, he has trained many students. After completing their studies, these students go to various countries to contribute their knowledge and become the best in all countries. Pang Juan, the general of Wei, is also a student of Guiguzi. When going down the mountain, Guiguzi sent him eight words: I am proud when I meet a sheep, and I will die when I meet a horse. Guiguzi gave Pang Juan these eight words, which can also be said to be a prophecy. So, did his prediction come true?

Among many students of Guiguzi, Pang Juan is quite famous, and Sun Bin is also learning from Pang Juan. Although these two people are students taught by the same teacher, their personalities are far apart. But they had a good relationship before going down the mountain, and they ate and lived together on the mountain every day. The fly in the ointment is that Pang Juan is slightly inferior to Sun Bin in knowledge, and always feels that he is shorter than Sun Bin, so he regards Sun Bin as an opponent in his mind and thinks that he must surpass him.

When Pang Juan went down the mountain, he accidentally learned that Wei was recruiting a large number of talents, and the treatment was very impressive. At that time, Pang Juan had studied under Guiguzi for more than three years. As soon as he heard this wonderful thing, he had an idea at once. In three years, Pang Juan learned a lot of military theories, and he knew all about marching and disposal. Going to Wei at this time has a bright future.

Pang Juan thought about the plan and hurried back to the mountain, hoping that Master would let him go to Wei to realize his ambition. However, when he really returned to the mountain, he didn't know how to tell Guiguzi. He is worried that Guiguzi will not let him go when he knows what he thinks. Pang Juan, who has always been proficient in oral kung fu, became at a loss in front of Guiguzi and didn't know how to speak. In fact, Guiguzi, as Pang Juan's master, how could he not know his thoughts?

2. What did Guiguzi say to Pang Juan? However, Guiguzi did not embarrass his disciples. But tell him that now is the best time to join the WTO, so that he can seize this opportunity and seek the wealth he wants. Pang Juan was very happy after listening to Master's words, but he was a little hesitant, because he didn't know whether he still had a chance to be appreciated after joining the WTO. Guiguzi knew what Pang Juan was hesitating about, so he asked him to pick a flower for him on the mountain. Pang Juan was so happy that he hurried to the back to pick flowers. But when he got to the back of the mountain, he found that it was bare, and it was already June, and there were no flowers on the mountain long ago. He searched for a long time and finally found a grass flower.

Pang Juan uprooted the flowers and prepared to go back to Guiguzi, but he felt that the flowers were too humble anyway, fearing that such humble flowers would affect his fortune. After careful consideration, Pang Juan threw away the grass flower and prepared to find a more noble flower. But no matter how he looked, he couldn't find the second flower. In desperation, Pang Juan had to pick up the lost flowers again. Pang Juan told Guiguzi after returning to his residence that there were no flowers in the mountains. Guiguzi knew that the apprentice had found the flowers, so he directly asked him to take them out for himself and lectured him a few words. Later, Guiguzi took the grass flowers and began to calculate for Pang Juan.

It turned out that what Pang Juan found was not ordinary flowers, but Aristolochia. In full bloom, this kind of flower can reach twelve, which is the age when Pang Juan made his fortune. Guiguzi figured it out that the place where he developed would be Wei, but Pang Juan must not cheat others, otherwise his end would be particularly miserable. Finally, Guiguzi also sent Pang Juan eight words: I am proud when I meet a sheep, and I am embarrassed when I meet a horse.

Guiguzi helped Pang Juan to tell her fortune, just as Sun Bin was listening. Pang Juan told Sun Bin that if he really develops in Wei in the future, he must be invited to create a great cause in Wei, and he said that if there is any violation, he is willing to bear the pain of an arrow piercing the heart. Pang Juan may have said this unintentionally, but Sun Bin took it as a promise and waited hard.

3. The end of Pang Juan's destruction of Sun Bin Pang Juan went to the wrong home after he arrived in Wei, and he was very happy with Wang Cuo. Wang made a mistake and recommended him to Wang Wei. When Chongjuan visited Wang Wei, she happened to meet someone who sent Wang Wei a roast sheep. Pang Juan was very excited to see this scene, because Master said he would be proud to meet a sheep. Later, Pang Juan was appreciated by Wang Wei and made a fortune in Wei. A year later, Sun Bin really received a letter from Pang Juan, saying that he recommended Sun Bin to Wang Wei.

Sun Bin read the letter and handed it to Guiguzi to share his joy. But Guiguzi found a problem in the letter. He taught Pang Juan for more than three years, and Pang Juan didn't mention himself at all. From this letter, Guiguzi can see that Pang Juan is an ungrateful and jealous person. If Sun Bin really went to Wei, it may not be a good thing. Guiguzi was bent on preventing Sun Bin from going to Wei, but Sun Bin had long wanted to go to Wei when he heard that Pang Juan was developing in Wei. How can we convince him? In addition, the envoys of Wei were sincere to him, as if they really attached great importance to him, so it was hard to stop Guiguzi.

Before he left, Guiguzi also called Sun Bin to pick a flower on the mountain, which was regarded as divination, but Sun Bin's heart flew to Wei, and he was in no mood to pick flowers. In order to cope with Master, Sun Bin took a flower from the vase on the case and gave it to Guiguzi. Guiguzi didn't blame the apprentice's behavior, but carefully calculated the flowers sent by Sun Bin. After a while, he figured that Sun Bin would suffer a lot in Wei, but he would not die in Wei, but would develop and succeed in Qi.

Guiguzi really didn't read Pang Juan wrong. Pang Juan sent Sun Bin to Wei, not to help himself, but to trick Sun Bin into spying on Wei so that he wouldn't ruin his own good deeds. After Sun Bin arrived in Wei, Pang Juan was worried that Sun Bin would steal his thunder, so he wanted to frame Sun Bin. Pang Juan fabricated a charge casually, cut off Sun Bin's leg, and tried to kill him completely. Thanks to Sun Bin's cleverness, he fled to Qi with the help of Ambassador Qi, and was later appreciated by Tian Ji and became a guest of Tian Ji.

As for Pang Juan who cheated Sun Bin, he was shot dead by an arrow, just as he said. Pang Juan died because he cheated Sun Bin, and as a result, he was cheated by Sun Bin to Maling Island, where he had laid an ambush in advance, and died under the disorderly arrows. Judging from the life track of these two people, Guiguzi is really not a hollow reputation, and has reached a super high level in accounting.
