China's fable: A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.
Once upon a time, there was an old man who lived in the border area adjacent to the Hu people. Passers-by all addressed him as "Sai Weng". Sai Weng is philosophical by nature and treats people differently.
One day, for some unknown reason, Sai Weng's horse got lost while eating grass and never came back. When the neighbors learned the news, they all expressed regret. However, Sai Weng doesn't care. Instead, he comforted everyone: "Losing horses is certainly a bad thing, but who knows if it will bring good results?"
Sure enough, a few months later, the lost old horse ran back from the Great Wall and brought back a good horse rode by the Hu people. So the neighbors got together to congratulate Sai Weng and praised his foresight when he lost his horse. At this time, however, Sai Weng was worried and said, "Alas, who knows if this incident will bring me disaster?"
Sai Weng's family has added a good horse that the Hu people ride, and his son is very happy, so he rides it every day and enjoys it. Finally, one day, my son got carried away, fell off the galloping horse, injured his leg and was disabled for life. After hearing the news, the kind neighbors came to offer their condolences, but Sai Weng still said, "Who knows if there will be a good result?"

All able-bodied young people were recruited as soldiers, and nine times out of ten they died on the battlefield. Because Sai Weng's son was lame and exempted from military service, his father and son were able to escape the disaster in Where Are You Going?

Ancient prose: people close to the frontier have good skills. Ma died for no reason and went to Hu. Everyone hung up, and his father said, "Why isn't this a blessing?" After living for several months, his horse returned to Hu. Everyone congratulated him, and his father said, "Why can't this be a disaster?" It's good to have money at home, and my son is easy to ride. He fell and broke his moustache. Everyone hung up, and his father said, "Why isn't this a blessing?" After living for a year, the Hu people entered the fort, and the Ding Zhuang people played with strings. The people near the fort died of nineteen, so this is the only reason for lameness, and the father and son protect each other. Therefore, blessing is a curse, and curse is a blessing, which is extremely unpredictable and unfathomable. -"Huainanzi Human Training"
In the crowd near the frontier fortress, there is a man who is proficient in numbers. His horse went to the conference semifinals by itself, and everyone came to sympathize with him. The father said, "How do you know it's unlucky?" A few months later, his horse came back with the good horse of the Hu people, and everyone congratulated him. The father said, "How do you know this is not a curse?" There are rich horses at home, and his son likes riding horses. Once he fell off his horse and broke his thigh bone. Everyone sympathized with him, and his father said, "How do you know it's unlucky?" After a year, the conference semifinals invaded the frontier fortress on a large scale, and all the able-bodied men took up bows and arrows to participate in the war. Combatants 10 people died and 9 people were seriously injured. Only because his son broke his leg did the father and son save their lives. Therefore, blessings can be turned into disasters, and disasters can be turned into blessings. These changes are elusive and unfathomable. -"Huainanzi Human Training"
A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.
The story of a blessing in disguise tells us that no matter what happens, we should adjust our mentality, transcend time and space and take into account the extreme changes that may occur. In this way, whether the blessing event is a disaster or a disaster turns into a blessing, there is enough psychological endurance. Metaphor may benefit from a temporary loss. It also means that bad things can be turned into good things under certain conditions. The blessing and misfortune of things can be transformed into each other under certain conditions and should be treated with a dialectical attitude.
