Hong Zichen. The most famous aphorisms

In life, we often hear words that are objectionable to us and do things that bring displeasure. But only in this way will we find the touchstone on which our virtue will be sharpened. And if you listen only to what you want to hear, and think only about what is pleasant to think about, then you will live your whole life as if drugged by a poisonous potion.
In the cycle of worldly life, it is not shameful to take a step back. Retreat is the key to moving forward. Letting another take your share is happiness. By helping others, true self-help is maintained.
In peace, thoughts are purified and you see the true essence of the heart. In idleness the spirit becomes malleable and you will come to know the true source of the heart. In serenity, thoughts become deep and you comprehend the true basis of the heart. In order to see your heart and touch the real, there is nothing better than these three states.
Don't be ahead of others in receiving your reward. Do not be behind others in doing good deeds. When receiving from others, do not take more than what is due to you. In good deeds, do not do less than is available to you.
In suffering, consolation often opens up to the heart. And when it suddenly seems that you have caught the truth, it immediately becomes bitter that you could not keep it.
In teaching it is important to be concentrated, but one must be able to be careless at times. If you forever deny yourself joys and pleasures, then for those around you you will be like the deadly breath of autumn.
In teaching, not to be equal to the great sages means to be a slave to the lead and the writing board. In public service, not to love the people means to steal the dress and hat of an official. To talk learnedly and not care about one's behavior is to indulge in idle talk. To be in charge of an important matter and not to think about strengthening virtue is to splurge.
Power and profit, brilliance and glory: whoever does not touch them is truly pure. But he who touches, and does not have dirt on him, is doubly pure. Knowledge and cunning, sharpness and insight: whoever is deprived of them is truly exalted. But the one who is endowed with them, and does not use them, is doubly exalted.
A big name and good fame should not be used alone. By sharing them with people, you can avoid trouble and live your life to the fullest. Shameful deeds and bad reputation need not be wholly attributed to others. Taking some of them upon yourself, you can, hiding the light of your virtues, cultivate the truth in yourself.
For someone who keeps the truth in himself, life shrinks into an instant. For someone who craves power over others, life drags on forever. A person who has comprehended the truth strives for things that are not in the world of things, and thinks about who he will be when he is gone. He will accept the flight of the moment and reject the numbness of eternity.
Virtue depends on the breadth of outlook, and outlook grows through knowledge. Therefore, one who wants to strengthen his virtue cannot but expand his horizons. And in order to expand your horizons, you need to increase your knowledge.
Kindness can often cause harm, so when you want to do good, think carefully. You can often learn a useful lesson from failure, so mistakes are the best help to the cause.
If the liver hurts, vision will deteriorate. If the kidneys hurt, hearing will weaken. The disease nests where it is not visible, but manifests itself in what is noticeable to everyone. A noble man, striving not to have visible sins, does not first commit sins where no one can notice them.
If out of ten words nine are true, don't consider it an achievement. It is enough for one word not to be true, as it will gather around itself a cloud of lies. If nine out of ten ideas are successful, do not consider this a success. It is enough for one plan to remain unfulfilled, as a forest of reproaches will grow around. Therefore, a noble man values silence and rejects vanity.
If you do not attach yourself firmly to the world, then the dirt of the world will not stick to you. If you go deep into the affairs of the world, then the mechanical mind will go deep into you. Therefore, a noble man in his aspirations is more devoted to the artless, and in his deeds he values the immediate above all else.
If you do not try to rise above yourself at least a little, you will spend your whole life cleaning your clothes in dust and washing your feet in mud. How can you be clean here? If you do not move away from the world, then you will become like a moth flying into the fire, and a ram butting the gate. How can you find peace and happiness here?
If Heaven deprives me of happiness, I will make up for it with the greatness of my virtue. If Heaven compels me to work to the point of exhaustion, I will oppose it with the loftiness of my heart. If Heaven doesn't give me luck, I'll make my way to her by going my own way. What can Heaven do with me?
If the fields before our eyes spread wide, their sight will not be forgotten. If the good that we leave behind spreads far, the memory of it will not fail.
If failure haunts you, think of those who are more unfortunate than you, and your resentment will dissipate. If negligence creeps into your heart, think of those who have succeeded more than you, and you will perk up.
If a person does not have a single sincere thought, he is like a beggar who leaves from everywhere empty-handed. If a person does not have a single genuine hobby, he is like a wooden idol that stands where he was placed.
If a person has even one selfish thought, his firmness will turn into cowardice, his knowledge - recklessness, his mercy - cruelty, and purity - depravity.
If, having eaten your fill, you think about food, then even the most delicious dishes will not arouse your appetite. If, having satisfied lust, to think about love pleasures, there is no desire to indulge in them. That is why people often regret their actions after they have committed them. But it is worth renouncing the temptation of what we anticipate in our imagination, as our thoughts become unshakable, and our actions become impeccable.
The thirst for acquisitions does not hopelessly hurt the mind. Our plans and imagination are the main enemies of reason. Sound and color do not necessarily hide the truth. Our mind is what tightly blocks the truth from us.
No matter how great a thing you are engaged in, if you have driven away vain thoughts, then you have reached perfection. No matter how successful you are in learning, if you have freed yourself from the power of things, then you have known what wisdom is.
When there is light in the heart, heaven shines in the dark dungeon. When there is darkness in thoughts - and demons breed in the light of the sun.
When the consciousness awakens, you understand that even having entered the path of passions, you can enter the path of truth. Awakening grants the ability to see everything anew. Here is the mystery of how trouble brings happiness, and death brings back to life. Solving it is not easy.
When, having done evil, a person is afraid that people will find out about it, he can still find a way to good. When, having done good, a person tries to make people know about it, he generates evil.
Only by renouncing thoughts of fame, wealth and power, you can free yourself from vulgarity. Only by renouncing thoughts of good, humanity and duty can you join wisdom.
Only after living below, you will learn how dangerous it is to climb up. Only after being in the dark, you will know how bright the sunlight is. Only by keeping calm, you will find out how much energy those who are in motion spend. Only by nurturing silence do you realize how vain verbosity is.
It is better to protect what has already been achieved than to dream about what is not yet perfect. It is better to prevent a future mistake than to regret a past sin.
People think that it is joyful to have fame and high position, but they do not know that the joy of the absence of glory and high position is real. People think that it is unfortunate to endure hunger and cold, but they do not know that it is the hardest thing to grieve without suffering from hunger and cold.
Souls tormented by passions blaze with fire. These will incinerate anyone in their path. Those without mercy are cold as ice. These will freeze anyone they meet.
The wind will blow - and the bamboo will rustle. The wind will rush away - and the bamboo will fall silent. A flying goose will be reflected on the surface of a frozen pond. A goose will fly away - and its shadow will not remain on the ice. A noble man thinks about things as they come before him. Things will pass, and his consciousness becomes empty.
Our spirit must be strong, like metal hardened a hundred times. Those who do not have patience will not achieve this. Our kindness must be full-bodied, like a crossbow weighing a thousand juns. Accustomed to shoot without effort, they will not be able to use such a weapon.
Don't make hasty promises. Don't get angry. Do not make plans in joyful excitement. Don't think about what's ahead when you're tired.
There is no true taste in sour, salty, bitter or sweet. The real taste is imperceptible. Neither an extraordinary mind, nor an amazing talent is the dignity of a real person. The virtues of a real person are inconspicuous.
From one sincere movement of the soul, frost will fall in the summer, the walls of the city will collapse, metal and stone will melt. In a deceitful person, even if he is healthy in body, his mind still perished. In society, he is unpleasant to everyone. In private, he hates himself.
When evaluating those who are in difficulty, see what they dream of. Assessing those who have achieved honor and glory, see how they spend the rest of their days.
Behavior should be sublime, but not bizarre. Thoughts should be subtle, but not petty. The character should be balanced, but not weak-willed. Manners should be polite, but not cutesy.
A vile person is low in soul, therefore his joy is petty and fleeting. Everything they do betrays injustice.
A person who has seen the light "does not think about anything, does not worry about anything." The dark man knows nothing, knows nothing. These two can conspire and work together. Mediocrities talk a lot and bustle a lot, they are curious about a lot and make a lot of plans. That is why they are suspicious of each other, and it is not easy to get them to act together.
The path of heavenly truth is unimaginably wide. One has only to dream about it a little - and the heart becomes light and spacious. The path of human passions is strikingly narrow. It is worth stepping on it - and before your eyes there will always be thorny grasses and dirty puddles.
Do not be harsh with a subordinate, otherwise he will not want to serve you. Do not be cheeky with friends, otherwise you will have only nonentities among your friends.
Tyranny is easier to cure than addiction to reasoning. Obstacles in business are easier to remove than fenced off from the truth.
The misers, even if they are rich, think that they lack. They do not understand why the disinterested, although poor, have everything in abundance. Ambitious people work, but do not receive satisfaction. They do not understand why people who do not boast of their abilities are idle and live for their own pleasure.
The one who is skillful in reading tastes the joy of knowledge, not discarding "tops and snares." He who is skilled in contemplation sees the secrets of the heart and spirit without turning away from visible images.
Lucky people don't talk about how to be calm and happy. Even when they dream of spirits, they do not lose their composure. Losers do not notice how everything falls out of their hands. They even see intrigues in a funny joke.
The mouth is the gate of the mind. If you keep them open, the mind will slip out. Imagination is the legs of the mind. If it is not curbed, it will lead the mind astray.
A troublesome person worries about himself and others, never remaining indifferent. An indifferent person does not care about himself or others, being indifferent to everything.

Wheat and peas will grow faster 15.01.2018

Researchers from the English Research Institute in Norwich, the universities of Queensland and Sydney have developed a technology for accelerated crossing of plants. Scientists and engineers have reduced the life span of one generation of plants, from seed to seed, to eight weeks. This breeding rate allows for up to six experimental crops per year; this is three times more than usual.

Why plant growth is important, explains study leader Brande Wulff: "A crowded planet needs large yields and disease and pest resistant crops. The faster we can test new varieties, the faster we can give farmers new, better crops." ".

Plants grown using the accelerated method look just as good as normal plants and produce as many seeds as those grown in the usual time frame. New varieties of agricultural plants bred using accelerated crossbreeding technology will be on the market in 10 years, Wolf said.

In greenhouses for accelerated crossing, light is 22 hours; additional lighting after sunset and even at noon is provided by economical LEDs. Room settings. such as humidity and temperature are monitored at all times by a system of sensors and regulators. To date, the authors of the study, published in Nature Plants, have managed to harvest six crops a year of the following crops: wheat, durum (durum "pasta" wheat), barley, beans and peas.
