Wisdom and cleverness come from different sources.
Cleverness is achieved through practice, but wisdom arises from a state of calmness. In spiritual cultivation, it is said that stillness leads to calmness, and calmness leads to wisdom, meaning if you want to attain wisdom, you must first be calm.
No journey can reach a thousand miles without accumulating small steps.
A person who is constantly busy, no matter how talented, can rarely attain wisdom, because such a person can never truly be still.
Wanyan Xiyin is undoubtedly a busy person.
A qualified strategist is sure to be busier than the commander. Over the years, as Wanyan Zonghan has crushed Liao and fought Song, he hasn't paused his campaigns, and as Wanyan Zonghan's chief strategist, Wanyan Xiyin definitely spends even his nap time calculating strategies.
Such a person cannot be still, cannot be calm, so how does he possess the appearance of wisdom?
