If there is a thing, there is a reason(shì yǒu bì zhì，lǐ yǒu gù rán)

If there is a thing, there is a reason

Things are bound to happen, and that's the way it should be. It means that no matter how things are prevented, they still have to appear. This happens and develops in accordance with the inherent laws of things and cannot be changed.

There is no doubt that Su Xun's theory of distinguishing evils is inevitable. Only those who are quiet in the world are aware of it when they can see it.

It was first written in the fourth chapter of Qi CE in the Warring States Period: "Tan Shizi said," if there is a thing, it must come. Is it true that you know it? "

Idiom explanation

That's how it should be. It means that no matter how things are prevented, they still have to appear. This happens and develops in accordance with the inherent laws of things and cannot be changed.

The origin of Idioms

There is no doubt that Su Xun's theory of distinguishing evils is inevitable. Only those who are quiet in the world are aware of it when they can see it. Everyone knows that the moon faints but the wind blows, the foundation moistens but the rain falls. In the course of human affairs, it is difficult to know the reason of the situation, but it is difficult to measure the change, which is related to the Yin and Yang of heaven and earth. But the sage does not know, why? Likes and dislikes are among them, but interests are beyond them.

Once upon a time, the mountain giant source saw Wang Yan and said, "Whoever wrongs the common people in the world must be the same person." When Guo Fenyang saw Lu Qi, he said, "if this man succeeds, there will be no descendants left." From now on, its principle is already visible. In my opinion, Wang Yanzhi is a person with beautiful appearance and speech, who is inherently cheating and stealing fame. However, he didn't ask for anything, and things went up and down, so that there was no emperor Huidi in Jin Dynasty, but only the middle Lord. Although he had a hundred thousand, how could he disturb the world? Lu Qi's treachery was enough to defeat the country. However, if he did not learn, his appearance was not enough to move, his words were not enough to dazzle the world, and he was not the despicable of the virtue school, how could he use it? In other words, the material of the two gongs and the two sons are not necessarily.

Today, some people recite the words of Confucius and follow the journey of Yi Qi. They call the well-known people and those who don't succeed. They think Yan Yuan and Meng Ke will come back. However, the villain is sinister and has a strange interest with others. It's the combination of Wang Yan and Lu Qi. How can his misfortune surpass his words!

It's a man's greatest love that he doesn't forget to wash his face and wash his clothes. This is not the case. * what is the love and clothing of Yi Chen's clothes, the food of dogs, and the death of his face? In all cases, those who are not close to human feelings are rarely guilty of treachery. In the name of peerless, it is necessary and undoubted that it is not the ratio of the two sons.

Sun Tzu said, "those who are good at using weapons have no outstanding achievements." It is too much for us to say that we should not use them. But if we sigh that we have not met with them, who knows what the trouble is! Otherwise, the world will be its disaster, and I know the name of words, sad husband!

Source explanation

There must be a point to be reached when there is something, and there is a rule that it should be. Only those quiet people in the world can predict the future significant results from the small signs. The halo around the moon indicates that the sky will be windy; the return of wet pillars indicates that it will rain; this is well known to all. As for the change of human affairs in the world, the causal relationship between reason and situation, how can it be compared with the change of yin and Yang in heaven and earth? And even the virtuous people don't know about it. What's the reason? Just because his hobbies and dislikes disturb his own opinions in his heart, and his external actions are influenced by his gains and losses.

Once upon a time, when Shantao saw Wang Yan, he said, "it must be this man who will bring disaster to people all over the world in the future." When Guo Ziyi, king of Fenyang, saw Lu Qi, he said, "once this man is successful, my descendants will be killed." Today, of course, some of the truth can be foreseen. In my opinion, Wang Yan's manner, whether in appearance or in speech, is certainly conducive to cheating the world and stealing fame. However, he is not jealous or corrupt and follows the mainstream. If the Jin Dynasty was not ruled by Emperor Hui, how could it disturb the world if there was only one middle-class monarch, even if there were hundreds of Wang Yan? Although a treacherous minister like Lu Qi was enough to bring down the country, he was ignorant and unskilled. His appearance was not enough to impress others and his words were not enough to influence the society. If it was not for Tang Dezong's rudeness, how could he be reused? From this point of view, Shan Tao and Guo Ziyi's expectations of Wang Yan and Lu Qi may not be completely correct.

Some people recite the words of Confucius and Laozi, practice the noble behavior of Boyi and Shuqi, and recruit a group of scholars and depressed people who pursue fame. They collude with each other to create public opinion and praise each other in private. They think that Yan Hui and Mencius are reborn, but in fact they are insidious and ferocious, which is different from ordinary people's interests. This is really a combination of Wang Yan and Lu Qi. Can we say the disaster he caused? Don't forget to wash your face when your face is dirty, and don't forget to wash your clothes when your clothes are dirty. But it's not like that. He wears the clothes of criminals and eats pig and dog like food. His hair looks like a prisoner and his face looks like a dead man in his family. But he talks about poetry and books. Is that reasonable? There are very few people who do things unkindly, who are not evil. Such people are those who make mistakes, change their teeth and make prescriptions. With the help of his highest reputation, this man can cover up the disaster that has not yet been exposed. Although there are emperors who are willing to govern the country well and prime ministers who respect talents, he will still recommend and appoint this man. In this way, he must be the disaster of the world, not just Wang Yan, Lu Qi and others.

Sun Tzu said, "those who are good at using troops have no outstanding achievements." If this person is not reused, then my words are wrong, and this person will sigh that he will not meet the bright Lord. Who can know that the disaster will reach this point? Otherwise, the world will suffer from him, and I will get a reputation for foresight, which is too sad!
