Interpretation: leisure; L: tired. It means to be fully prepared in the war, save your strength and give a head-on blow when the tired enemy attacks. Used as predicate, object and adverbial; Refers to the formal structure of methods such as combat and work. Synonym is to preserve physical strength, antonym is tired. Homonym is lighter than feather. The best way to keep a feather at the back of your stomach is to shake the riddle with fear. The original code is trapped by the enemy, and it is impossible to fight; The wound is strong and soft. Note (1) Trap the enemy: force the enemy into a besieged position. (2) Impaired rigidity is beneficial to softness: Yijing is damaged. "Stiffness" and "softness" are two relative phenomena. Under certain conditions, the opposing parties can transform each other. "Loss", hexagram name. This is a different overlap (previous generation). The upper divination is the root, the root is the mountain, the lower divination is the intersection, and the intersection is the ze. Going up the mountain and going down the river means that osawa has eroded the roots of the mountain, which means that water has infiltrated the mountain and restrained the loss of the mountain, so the hexagram is named "loss". It is based on this that "losing rigidity is beneficial to softness"
The divination is the general principle and law of "combining rigidity with softness, while the master changes". This plan is based on the principle of "injury", that is to say, the trapped enemy can take the initiative to defend and gradually consume the enemy's effective strength, making it from strong to weak, while I can make myself passive to active and win without direct attack. It is said that this is the enemy's law. "The Art of War" said: "Be on the battlefield first, wait for the enemy to escape, and then work on the battlefield. Therefore, a good fighter will cause others and not others. " The book of war discusses the enemy, which is a theory of potential, and its purpose is to treat the enemy indiscriminately; The surface is mainly simple, with constant strain, with small changes to deal with big changes, with immobility to deal with small movements, with fulcrum to deal with rings. For example, Guan Zhongmin's military orders are in the internal affairs, but they are prepared; Sun Bin ambushed Pang Juan on Maling Road; Li Mu kept the Wild Goose Gate, and did not fight for a long time, but prepared for it and defeated the Xiongnu.
Edit the origin of this idiom
Sun Tzu's military struggle: "Stay close and far, and wait for merit."
It is also a rule to treat others with sincerity and satisfy them. "Allusions at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Gansu warlord Xiao Wei left Liu Xiu to take refuge in Gongsun Shu, and Gongsun Shu proclaimed himself in Sichuan. Liu Xiu was furious and sent troops to attack osmium, only to be defeated by it. Liu Xiu sent Feng Yi, the general of the Western Expedition, to occupy Gouyi. Kui device got the news and ordered the patrol to go to Gouyi immediately to seize the favorable terrain. When the ministries in Feng Yi learned about this, they advised Feng Yi not to fight the patrolling troops. Feng Yi said categorically: "We must seize the city and wait for merit." Feng Yi ordered the troops to March in a hurry, but before patrolling, he occupied Gou Yi. Feng Yi tightly blocked the news, closed the gate, put a stop and let the man have a rest. As soon as the patrol rushed to the gate, drums suddenly sounded on the rostrum and Feng Yishuai's flag flashed. The patrol troops were unprepared and fled in horror. Feng Yi opened the gate wide and led his troops out of the city to crush the enemy. Let your army recharge its batteries and wait for the enemy from afar in order to destroy the enemy. This is called "waiting for work". [2]

The Red Army soldiers fought back with indomitable spirit and finally got rid of the enemy's pursuit. Su Qin, the teacher of Gongba Division, was also there. ◎ In a war, if we can effectively use military strategies such as "as close as possible, as tired as possible, and as hungry as possible", we can defeat the enemy.
Edit the source of this paragraph.
Waiting for the work, the language is "Discrimination of Sun Tzu Jun Zheng". There are many explanations and examples of this theory in military and historical books of past dynasties. For example, "Sun Tzu's Art of War Debate with the Army": "Treat the near with distance, treat the merits with fear, and satisfy the hunger. This is also a rule. " Ancient "Yi" and "Yi" were interlinked, indicating that the troops were rested and full of energy. On the contrary, the troops did not get rest and fatigue. There are many ways to wait for the enemy. "Sun Tzu's Art of War: Virtual and Real" said: "Be on the battlefield first, treat the enemy, and work hard; Those who occupy the land later will do their best. " Preemptive occupation of favorable terrain is a way to wait for the rabbit. "On the North-South Tactics" said: "When you hear Sun Tzu's Art of War, the defenders are always at ease, while the attackers are always working and waiting for work." It is also a way to take the initiative to defend first and then take the initiative to attack. However, waiting for the opportunity is not passively waiting for the fighter, but giving full play to the subjective initiative to mobilize the enemy, leading the enemy by the nose, keeping the enemy busy and constantly consuming the enemy, and then destroying the enemy when the enemy's spirit is exhausted. Therefore, "The Art of War" said: "Therefore, a good fighter is to others, not to others."
Edit the summary of this paragraph.
The ancients wrote: This is the way to make enemies. Sun Tzu's Art of War says, "Wang Jian, who is first on the battlefield, is waiting."
If you don't treat the enemy well, people in the battlefield will work hard. Therefore, a competent commander can bypass the enemy instead of being moved. "(The Art of War). Sun Tzu's art of war discusses the enemy, not the theory of potential, with the aim of treating the enemy indiscriminately; The surface is mainly simple, with constant strain, with small changes to deal with big changes, with immobility to deal with small movements, with fulcrum to deal with rings. For example, Guan Zhong's military orders in internal affairs are practical and prepared. ("Historical Records" Volume 62 "Biography of Yan Guan"); Sun Bin ambushed Pang Juan on Maling Road (Records of the Historian, Volume 65, Biography of Sun Tzu Wuqi); Li Mu kept the wild goose gate, fought for a long time, and actually prepared for it, and defeated the Xiongnu ("Historical Records, Biography of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru", Volume 8). The ancient notes quoted the fact that Guan Zhong was preparing for war, Sun Bin Maling Road ambushed Pang Juan, and Li Mu defeated Xiongnu, which proved that it was "invincible" to adjust the enemy to submission and wait for opportunities. Emphasis is placed on using the central hub, that is, the key condition, to deal with the endless and changeable "ring", that is, the situation around the vast area. Grasping the initiative in the war is the key to this plan. Who knows, when two boxers are right, the smart boxer often reaches the goal in one step, while the stupid boxer is aggressive and tries his best from the beginning. Therefore, they are often knocked down by those who give in. In The Water Margin, Hong tried to hit Lin Chong at Chai Jin's home and even called "Come" several times. As a result, Lin Chong gave in, saw Hong's flaw and kicked Hong over. This plan emphasizes that to put the enemy in a difficult position, it is not necessary to simply attack. The key is to grasp the initiative, change with constancy, change with constancy, actively mobilize the enemy, create fighter planes, prevent the enemy from mobilizing himself, and try to lead the enemy by the nose. So the word "waiting" should not be understood as passive waiting. "Waiting for work" is also often used to make money in modern business. Using this scheme requires the operator to have good psychological endurance. In the process of struggling with their opponents, they must stand up to time, all kinds of temptations and small favors, and maintain a good self-condition in order to get their real needs. In business, being willing to compromise and regress is not the goal, but to gain opportunities, rest and meditate through regress, and come up with unexpected tricks to benefit yourself. Because the necessary retrogression is in exchange for greater interests, we must not act blindly and fight hard with our opponents under unfavorable operating conditions. You must stop looking for opportunities, wait for opportunities, and then compete, in order to turn defeat into victory. Mccormack, an American, started from less than $500 and finally presided over an "international management consulting company" with an annual turnover of hundreds of millions of dollars. In his book "What He Can't Learn at Harvard Business School", he revealed the secret of the success of an upstart: "His website has a favorable location. "In the distribution activities, the biggest' geographical advantage' is to allow yourself to wait and work and calmly deal with business rivals from afar. You can achieve the same goal when you are not in your own territory, just try to make the other person feel as tired as a long trip. For example, you are a buyer and go to other places to purchase goods. After you have ruled out the position of the "emperor", the only buyer of your competitors, you can start to try to mobilize your shippers and keep them busy. You can ask him to show you a commodity again and again on the grounds of checking the quality of the sample, and then put it back one by one; You can also urge him to look around on the grounds of ensuring the supply of goods; If you have patience and time, you can pretend to be noncommittal and let him do it again. The shipper has spent a lot of time and energy on you, and it's hard to let it go. If this business fails, you will feel wronged, so you will be profitable in many aspects, such as price, and the owner will make concessions, thus successfully showing your waiting and work plan.
Edit the beat analysis of this paragraph.
The interpretation of Sun Tzu's Art of War shows that whoever treats the enemy comfortably and actively on the battlefield first, and then comes to the combat post, must be the passive and the affected. When the two sides are at war, the forerunner has the advantage of "good weather, good geographical position and harmonious people". In the case of a balanced combat power between the two sides, the winning rate of "escape" and "labor" is even greater. However, in the case of disparity in strength between the two sides, people with little strength can defeat the powerful "laborers" as long as they "escape". Therefore, as a good commander, he should fully understand, excavate and grasp the law of the other side's activities in time, be good at choosing one or several appropriate ambush sites, and be good at luring the enemy into the "pocket" array arranged for him and destroying it. However, if the military forces (mainly weapons and equipment) of the two sides are too far apart, the "evaders" may not be able to defeat the "laborers". For example, in the TV series My Brother's Name is Shun Liu, the Sixth Division of the New Fourth Army chose to ambush the Japanese army in the village. At first, the Japanese were beaten in a daze. However, due to the large number of Japanese troops, the weapons and equipment were far superior to our army. After several rounds, the Sixth Division was gradually defeated. Due to the timely arrival of the first division, the failure of the sixth division was avoided. Therefore, it is not omnipotent, and it is different. Especially in modern wars, information warfare has become the leading role of the war. Escape and labor complement each other, and the key lies in who has the dominance, creativity and humanistic advantages in the war!
Edit the plot allusion of this paragraph.
At the end of the warring States period, Qin was slow.
In, Li Xin led 200,000 troops to attack Chu. At first, Qin Jun was unstoppable. Soon, Li Xin was ambushed by Chu Xiang Army, abandoned his helmet and armor, and fled in a hurry, losing tens of thousands. Later, the king of Qin began to use Wang Jian, who retired in his later years. Wang Jian led 600,000 troops, and Chen Bing was on the border of Chu. The Chu army immediately sent heavy troops to meet the enemy. Veteran Wang Jian, no intention to attack. He just concentrated on building the city and put on a firm look. When the two armies confront each other, war is imminent. Chu Jun was eager to repel Qin Jun, and it was deadlocked for 10 years. Wang Jian encouraged the soldiers in the army to recharge their batteries, eat, drink and rest. Qin Jun soldiers are all strong and energetic. They usually practice hard to improve their skills. Wang Jian was very happy. A year later, Chu Jun's taut string has loosened, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit. They thought that Qin Jun was really defending itself, so they decided to retreat eastward. Seeing that the time had come, Wang Jian ordered the pursuit of the retreating Chu army. Everyone in Qin Jun went down the mountain like a tiger, just to kill the Chu army in their escape. Qin Jun's 56-point victory was overwhelming. In 223 BC, Qin destroyed Chu. This plan emphasizes that to put the enemy in a difficult position, it is not necessary to simply attack. The key is to grasp the initiative, change with constancy, change with constancy, actively mobilize the enemy, create fighter planes, prevent the enemy from mobilizing himself, and try to lead the enemy by the nose. So the word "waiting" should not be understood as passive waiting.
Edit this case of Three Kingdoms.
Liu He has been sworn friends for many years and has always been like a close friend. When the three pillars were basically formed, the important task of guarding Jingzhou fell on the second brother Guan Yu. However, Guan Yu violated Zhuge Liang's strategy of refusing the east and the north for him. As a result, he lost Jingzhou and went to Maicheng, and finally he was defeated and died. In order to avenge Guan Yu, Liu Bei did not listen to dissuasion and went eastward to attack Wu. At the beginning, the morale of the Shu army was strong, and Soochow could not resist it. Even a few generals are broken, and they are willing to wait and wait.
Ning, Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong all died in this battle. No one can be a leader in the Shu army. At this time, Wu Dong's autumn of life and death shocked the whole country. At this critical moment, recommended by Kan Ze, Sun Quan made scholar Lu Xun the viceroy, and the military forces in Jiangdong fought against Liu Bei. Lu Xun's men are mostly heroes, old generals or nobles in the office written by Wu Dong. They are self-reliant and have no respect for the young commander-in-chief Lu Xun. I don't understand that Lu Xun insisted on not fighting and thought that Lu Xun was weak and incompetent. Lu Xun said: "Although I am a scholar, I was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by my master. I think I have one advantage, that is, I can bear the burden of humiliation." General, keep the pass, keep the risk, and don't move. People who violate the order are embarrassed! " It is hot at this time, and it is difficult for the soldiers to get water. Liu Bei ordered to camp in a beautiful place near the spring. The Shu army camped in succession from Jianping in Wuxia to Yiling in seven hundred miles. From 1 month to May, it has been at odds with Wu Dong. Liu Bei asked for a decisive battle, but the other side just ignored him. He was so angry that he sent Wu Ban to lead thousands of weak soldiers to camp on the flat ground and draw Wu Jun out. He took his soldiers in ambush in the valley, ready to cut off Wu Bing's retreat. But Wu Bing just won't fight. Lu Xun advised people that Wu Ban must have a unique skill to fight, and we can only wait and see. Liu Bei saw that Wu Bing couldn't get out, so he had to pull out the ambush soldiers. The two armies confronted each other for another month. Lu Xun observed the situation and saw that the Shu soldiers had lost their initial spirit and were ready to turn from defensive to offensive. But the generals thought that when the attack started, it could not be advantageous now. But Lu Xun had a well-thought-out plan, so he sent his troops to test it first. Without success, he immediately changed his tactics and ordered the soldiers to take a handful of grass and attack the Shu army with fire. All Wu Jun went out together. This battle led the Shu army to flee hastily and beheaded several Shu generals. This battle broke the 40 th battalion of the Shu army, forcing many generals of the Shu army to surrender, and Liu Bei fled to Baidicheng. This is the famous battle of Yiling. The Shu army was defeated. Lu Xun did not finish the calculation, and continued to storm. Liu Bei tried every means to escape. The description in the book is thanks to the Eight Diagrams of Kongming. In this campaign, Lu Xun used the tactic of "the sooner the better": First, knowing that Liu Beiyuan was coming, he was not acclimatized and certainly wanted to make a quick decision. At this time, Wu Jun had to lose. Second, Lu Xun deliberately showed weakness, deliberately paralyzing the Shu army and letting it go deep (now called luring the enemy to go deep). Third, the Shu army was dragged down, the Shu attack failed, and its combat effectiveness and willpower declined. At this time, the decisive battle of Wu Bing is sure to win.
Edit this shopping mall case
In the early 1920s, Ford faced another blow, with a sharp drop in car sales and economic recession. At that time, the American automobile industry was taking off in an all-round way, and major companies introduced a new type of car with bright colors-Ford Model A.
, to meet the different preferences of consumers, thus selling well. Only the black Ford car remains unchanged, looking serious and dull, and sales are naturally greatly affected. However, whether it is the agent who asks Ford to supply fancy cars all over the country or the consultant in the company, Ford always resolutely pushes back: "Ford cars are only black." I don't see anything wrong with black, at least it lasts longer than other colors. "Production gradually became difficult, Ford began to lay off employees, some equipment stopped working, and night shifts were changed to day shifts to save electricity. People inside and outside the company are floating, and even Mrs. Ford is confused and impatient. Ford smiled and said, "This is my sleeve. I'll tell you when I think about it. "His wife is worried that if the company complains too much, people will leave. Ford understood his wife's concern and said confidently, "Our company is better paid than any other company, and they will not be unfaithful. At the same time, they know that I am a person who will never give up. I believe I won't produce light-colored cars with others, and I must have other plans. "It is suggested that at least we should have a new car for sale in the market, so as not to let people say that our company is going bankrupt. Ford smiled cunningly: "Let them talk, the more rumors, the better for us. "People feel very strange and ask if the company is designing a new car. Will there be new cars in the same colors as others? Ford replied, "it's not designing, it's already finalized!" "Unlike others, it is our own. Our new car is definitely cheaper than others!" This is one of Ford's most proud "masterpieces" in his life-buying an abandoned ship and disassembling it to make steel, which greatly reduces the cost of steel and lays the foundation for the victory of the upcoming Model A car. 1927 in may, Ford suddenly announced that all the factories producing model t cars were shut down. This is the first time in 24 years that the company has stopped leaving the factory for new cars, and all products sold in the market are in stock. When the news came out, the whole world was shocked and speculated that bees were going to get up. Except for a few capable cadres, no one can figure out what Ford is up to. Strangely, the workers were not fired after the factory stopped working, and they still went to work every day. This situation has aroused great interest in the press, and newspapers often publish news about Ford, which encourages people's curiosity. Two months later, Ford finally revealed that the new Model A will be launched in February of the same year. This is even more shocking than announcing the shutdown of the factory. At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, the colorful, elegant, lightweight and low-priced Ford Model A finally went on the market after a long wait, which was really unprecedented. Formed a brilliant situation of Ford's second take-off. Because of the development of Model T, Ford has established its position in the American automobile industry. This time, in the face of the challenges launched by various companies with color and appearance as weapons, Ford did not take up the challenge. Instead, we should save our strength, foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, grasp the two keys of quality and price, and make full preparations. Once he is mature, his competitors will become weak from strong, and from excellent to bad. This is the old Ford's "trick"-waiting and working. Old Ford's "waiting for materials by work" is exactly a strategy of taking the initiative and taking the initiative. This strategy is often followed by a way, that is to say, enterprises do not force research and development of new products, but when a new product appears in the market and shows strong vitality, they immediately copy and improve it, and put the improved new product into the market quickly, so as to achieve the effect of "shine on you is better than blue". In commercial warfare, the strategy of "attacking the enemy later" or "waiting for the merits early" is often adopted. "Waiting for work" is not "being lazy and hating work", but saving your energy and waiting for the enemy to be exhausted. Therefore, the key to winning the battle is not only to be calm and calm, but also to have the ability to "know yourself and know yourself" and "win with many moves". When using this strategy, we must be calm, estimate clearly the environment, intention and strength of ourselves and each other, and be alert to the changes of things anytime and anywhere. The time is not ripe, you should be as steady as Mount Tai, and when the opportunity comes, you will turn the tide. This plan emphasizes not only to attack the enemy under difficult circumstances, but also to master the initiative, wait for action, respond to changes with constancy, actively mobilize the enemy and create fighters with static braking. So the word "waiting" should not be understood as passive waiting.
