Who said "those who play with fire set themselves on fire"? From where?

(Play with fire and set yourself on fire management wisdom)

"Kinship Rebellion" and "Playing with Fire" come from the Tibetan public in the four years of Zuo Zhuan: "Stay down, stop fighting and be patient." Stop the soldiers, there is no crowd; Patience, no family. Rebellion and separation are hard to help. Husband, soldier, return fire; Fu Wei will burn himself. "

After Xu killed his brother and proclaimed himself emperor, the people didn't support him, the minister was unconvinced, and the vassal state refused to admit it, which made him feel burst like him and changed his mind to sit on the throne of the monarch.

He thought about it, but he still played his specialty-fighting. When he was a son, Zhou Xu liked to handle knives and guns. He was also a general. With such a foundation, he wanted to establish his prestige by fighting, so that the people would support him, the ministers would obey him, and the governors would recognize him. Who are you hitting? He remembered that there had been friction between Zheng and Wei, and he was going to attack Zheng. At this time, it happened that there was a contradiction between Song Xianggong and Zheng. Send someone to the palace and say, "If you crusade against Zheng, we are willing to recruit and help." Song agreed. So, Song, Chen, Cai and Wei attacked Zheng, reached the capital of Zheng (now xinzheng city), surrounded the east gate of Zheng's capital, surrounded it for five days, and returned with great victory. This is the famous battle of the East Gate. Will the people and courtiers support Zhou Xu after winning this battle? Will the bannermen recognize Zhou Xu? When Lu Yin, the monarch of the State of Lu, was in doubt, he went to ask the doctor Zhong Zhong. Zhong Zhong said: "I heard that governing the country by virtue is supported by the people. Never heard of ruling the country by disaster. Governing the country by disaster is like rearranging the messy silk. Zhou Xu used war to solve everything he encountered. He didn't put the people's suffering on himself at all, but only regarded cruelty as his own skill. If we rely on force, we will lose the masses. If you are cruel to others, no one will approach him. If you are alienated from others, you will hardly succeed. War is like fire. If you don't know how to restrain yourself, you will burn yourself. Zhou Xu killed the monarch, abused the people, did not cultivate morality, and it was inevitable that he wanted to accomplish something with disaster. "

If this is fortune-telling, Zhong Zhong can be called an expert in fortune-telling, that is, to calculate a person's fate according to the objective truth of things. Confucius said, "Governing the country by virtue is like the North Star living in its place and the stars arching it." It means ruling the country by virtue is like the Big Dipper in the sky. Standing in that seat, there are many stars around. The Book of Changes says that virtue "clouds and rain, goods flow", governing the country by virtue, is as smooth as clouds and rain, as everything grows, as smooth as rivers. Of course, these words may not be comprehensive in the modern sense, but in ancient times, they were the truth that many scholars firmly believed. The state strongly urges us to move against the tide, use violence to control violence, and use force to replace morality. As Zhong Zhong said, the result is not only physical death, but also the country suffers. Later, in order to avenge the battle of Dongmen, he attacked Wei in the north and hit the shepherd, which is the periphery of the capital of Weiguo. After being defeated by Weiguo, he never got up.

Of course, the condemnation of Zheng was a bit "successful", that is, he used his personal life to buy us two idioms of "betraying others, alienating himself" and "playing with fire" to make us understand that no matter what we do, we should not play with fire and alienate others.

In addition, people have extracted the idiom "Guansi is good for you" from the popular phrase "Guansi is good for you", which means that dealing with problems is irrelevant and makes them more complicated.

Original text of Zuo Zhuan

After he acceded to the throne, Zifeng returned to Zheng. Zheng ren wants to accept it. Weizhou, on the other hand, urged him to blame Zheng, in order to repair the monarch of the former dynasty and favor the ministers, in order to make peace with the people. The envoy told Song, "If we attack Zheng, we will give priority to the monarch. If our city is ceded to Chen and Cai Cong, we are willing to protect our country." Song people agreed. Chen, listening to Wei's words, ordered Song Gong, Chen Hou, Cai Ren and his troops to attack Zheng, surrounded the East Gate and returned in five days. The public asked Zhong Zhong: "Does Weizhou urge it to succeed?" Yes, I said, "I smell morality and people, but I don't smell chaos." With chaos, it is also a good silk control. Fu, resist the soldiers and be patient. Stop the soldiers, there is no crowd; Patience, no family. Rebellion and separation are hard to help. Husband, soldier, return fire; Fu Zha, will set himself on fire. It is inevitable that Fuzhou will not be virtuous, but chaotic. "
