3. The heavens will not let a person have no way to go. If you feel that He is forcing you into a dead end, it's actually opening another path for you. As long as you are sufficiently resilient, have strong willpower, are fearless, and remain calm and composed, you can encounter a brand new landscape. As the saying goes: Amidst the mountains and rivers, one doubts there's no way forward, only to find another village in the dim willows and bright flowers.

9. "三从四德"是压迫、束缚妇女的封建礼教，是为适应父权制家庭、维护父权-夫权家庭(族)利益需要，根据"内外有别"、"男尊女卑"的原则，由儒家礼教对妇女的一生在道德、行为、修养的进行的规范要求。也是男性选择妻子的标准。三从四德虽然对古代妇女有重要意义，但已经不适合现代社会的发展，也不符合社会主义核心价值观。

9. "The Three Obediences and Four Virtues" is a封建 (feudal) moral code that oppresses and confines women. It is designed to meet the needs of patriarchal families and to uphold the interests of patriarchal-husband-dominated (clan) families, based on the principles of "differences between the inside and the outside" and "male superiority over female inferiority." This code, derived from Confucian moral teachings, sets moral, behavioral, and修养 requirements for women throughout their lives. It also serves as a standard for men to choose their wives. Although the Three Obediences and Four Virtues held significant importance for women in ancient times, they are no longer suitable for the development of modern society and do not conform to the core socialist values.

12. This situation was spread by those around him, and it is very likely that the government will send troops to capture him. Zhu Yuanzhang found himself in a desperate situation, and he had no choice but to take the road of a head-on collision with death—joining the rebel army.

15. Especially the promotion of filial piety culture, where sons show special respect and filial piety to their mothers, especially widowed mothers, is uniquely Chinese. If today we can replace this with new content of the times, such as emphasizing "virtue" in the cultivation of civil etiquette and修养, "speech" and "merit" focusing on the development of talents and creativity, and "appearance" paying appropriate attention to grooming without the deliberate use of makeup and beauty treatments, it would have considerable reference value.

16. 无人可依，那是上天告诉你，只有你才是自己人生的主人，不要把希望寄托在任何人身上。

16. Being without anyone to rely on is a sign from heaven that you are the master of your own life. Do not place your hopes on anyone else.

17. 三从四德是中国古代习俗之一，“三从”与“四德”的合称。“三从”指妇女未嫁从父、出嫁从夫、夫死从子；“四德”指妇德、妇言、妇容、妇功。

17. The "Three Obediences and Four Virtues" is one of the ancient Chinese customs, referring to the combined term of "Three Obediences" and "Four Virtues".

21. 对"三从四德"，首先应该看到，这些对妇女的要求规范是特定时代、出于某种需要产生的，并且随着社会的变化也有一些变化。随着时代的推移，"三从四德"在儒家整体文化框架下，强调"从父"时，也需要听从母亲;强调从夫，妻子也"与夫齐等"。

21. Regarding the "Three Obediences and Four Virtues," it should first be recognized that these norms of requirements for women were produced in a specific era for certain needs and have also undergone some changes with the evolution of society. As time progresses, within the overall cultural framework of Confucianism, while emphasizing "obedience to one's father," one also needs to listen to one's mother; while emphasizing obedience to one's husband, the wife is also "equal to her husband."

22. 德、言、容、工。就是说做女子的，第一要紧是品德，能正身立本；然后“言”，要有知识修养，言辞恰当，语言得体；其次是“容”，即相貌，指出入要端庄稳重持礼，不要轻浮随便；最后是“工”，即治家之道，治家之道包括相夫教子、尊老爱幼、勤俭节约等生活方面的细节。

22. Virtue, speech, appearance, and housekeeping. This means that for a woman, the most important thing is virtue, which can correct one's character and establish the foundation; then comes "speech," which requires knowledge and修养, appropriate and proper language; followed by "appearance," which refers to one's looks, indicating that one should be dignified and steady in one's demeanor, avoiding levity and carelessness; lastly is "housekeeping," which encompasses the principles of managing a household, including being a good wife and mother, respecting the elderly and loving the young, and practicing diligence and thrift in daily life.

23. 在中国的生肖文化中，龙被视为誓无二心的象征。龙是中国传统文化中的神兽，被崇尚为威武、神奇、高贵和至高无上的存在。作为十二生肖之一，龙年出生的人据说具备坚定的意志、高尚的品质和忠诚的特质。

23. In Chinese zodiac culture, the dragon is seen as a symbol of unwavering loyalty. The dragon is a mythical creature in traditional Chinese culture, revered as a powerful, magical, noble, and supreme being. As one of the twelve zodiac signs, those born in the Year of the Dragon are said to possess a strong will, noble character, and loyal traits.

24. 后来寺庙也破产了，他被迫到河北，河南一带乞讨。扶着竹杖，风餐露宿，芒鞋破履，每敲开一扇门，都可能遇到欺负，轻蔑，嘲讽和冷漠，但为了生存，他必须去面对。这样的环境让他的内心变得无比强大，他实际上成为了一个武装到心灵的战士。

24. Later, the temple also went bankrupt, and he was forced to beg in the Hebei and Henan areas. With a bamboo cane in hand, living under the elements, wearing worn-out sandals, every time he knocked on a door, he might encounter mistreatment, scorn, mockery, and indifference, but for survival, he had to face them. Such an environment made his inner self incredibly strong, and in fact, he became a warrior armed with his spirit.

25. 弘一法师说：“无人可依是上天给你最大的礼物，这样才能彻底斩断你对外界的一切期待，一切向内求，有勇气安住当下，直面所有的勇气与痛苦，走投无路以后就是大彻大悟，大彻大悟以后就是无所畏惧，无所畏惧以后，就是风生水起，不要着急于报复，烂掉的水果，自己会从树上掉下来，这叫英国循环，不需要你自己亲自动手，报复是人的本能，而控制本能则是人的修养，弱者选择报复，强者选择原谅，而智者选择忽略，你只管积你的德，老天有眼，自会分辨。”

25. Master Hongyi said, "The greatest gift from the heavens is that there is no one to rely on, which allows you to completely sever all expectations of the outside world, seeking everything internally. With the courage to settle in the present moment, facing all courage and pain, when you have nowhere to turn, it is a moment of profound enlightenment. After profound enlightenment, there is no fear. After no fear, there is the rise of wind and water. Do not hurry to seek revenge. Rotten fruit will fall from the tree by itself; this is called the British cycle, which does not require you to take action personally. Revenge is an instinct of humans, but controlling instincts is the cultivation of humans. The weak choose revenge, the strong choose forgiveness, and the wise choose to ignore. Just accumulate your virtue; heaven has eyes, and it will distinguish on its own."

26. 领导力强：属龙人天生具备领导才能和魅力，在团体中常能成为领导者或关键人物。

28. 未嫁从父，既嫁从夫，夫死从子。意思是说女孩子在未出嫁之前要听从家长的教诲，不要胡乱地反驳长辈的训导，因为长辈们的社会见识丰富，有根本性的指导意义；出嫁之后要礼从夫君，与丈夫一同持家执业、孝敬长辈、教育幼小；如果夫君不幸先己而去，就要坚持好自己的本分，想办法扶养小孩长大成人，并尊重自己子女的生活理念。这里的“从”并不是表面上的“顺从、跟从”之意，而是“辅佐、辅助”的意思。

28. "Unmarried, follow one's father; married, follow one's husband; if the husband dies, follow one's son." This means that before a girl gets married, she should listen to her parents' teachings and not arbitrarily refute the instructions of her elders, because the elders have rich social experience and provide fundamental guidance; after marriage, she should follow her husband in social etiquette, manage the household together, honor the elders, and educate the young; if the husband unfortunately passes away before her, she should adhere to her own duties, find ways to raise the children to adulthood, and respect the life philosophy of her own offspring. Here, the word "follow" does not mean a superficial "submission" or "obedience," but rather "assist" or "support."
