Confucius said that fifty people know the destiny. What is "destiny"?

Fifty knowing the destiny comes from the second chapter of The Analects. Zi: Nine times out of ten, you are determined to learn, stand at 30, be confused at 40, know your destiny at 50, be agreeable at 60 and be content at 70. Among them, "knowing destiny at the age of 50" shows that at the age of 50, he mastered and complied with the laws of nature. Simply put, "everything that exists is reasonable." I'm 50 years old. I've experienced a lot and I'm used to it. I can live with it, live with it, and everything will not be extravagant.

At the age of 50, I am open-minded and generous, and I can deal with different views or be biased. At the age of 50, I won't reprimand harshness any more. It's important to understand everything. At the age of 50, I learned to be kind to myself, and people who are not motivated have learned to get rid of it. At the age of 50, I stopped competing with others. Understand that the result of struggle is the result of winning or losing my feelings. At the age of 50, I am optimistic about the gains and losses. I am fortunate to know that I will lose my life. I won't fight with my life anymore. The scenery you can see at the age of 50 is necessarily different from that at the age of 20, 30 and 40. 50 years old is the dividing point of life, which is just in line with the average consciousness of the people of the whole country. The road of life is smooth and plain.

Of course, Confucius is talking about every link in a person's life, every ten years. In that case, the simple view that people know their destiny is that after the age of 50, everyone is basically stable about their family, work, marriage and children. Everyone has a basic understanding of the social situation, their living conditions and working ability, and the market prospects. To put it bluntly, it means that we basically know our luck in the first half of our lives.

I think "fate" refers to the laws of nature, that is, the objective reality. Living in this world is an important task entrusted to you by God. You should fulfill certain obligations and complete your important tasks. By the age of 50, you should know that all your public actions are carried out in accordance with objectivity. In a word, you are in your thirties and over half a year old. Be sure to stay awake and understand that "life" refers to the important task entrusted to you by God. "Fate" refers to a person's life and death, which is a natural law. When a person lives over 50 years old, he will have experience in daily life, rich and colorful professional knowledge, grasp the meaning of life and understand the laws of nature.
