After the nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant caused by the Japanese earthquake and tsunami in March last year, a wave of salt grabbing swept through China, and supermarkets, shopping malls and wholesale markets all snapped up salt.
Such a spectacular sight is really a farce that makes people laugh and cry today. Why is the Japanese salt market, which was seriously affected by the disaster, calm, while China, which is thousands of miles away, has rolled up a whirlwind of buying salt?
I think one thing is undeniable, that is, we are not calm and lack a quality of quick wind and slow heart.
The so-called "the wind is urgent and the heart is slow" means to remain calm and calm in the wind and rain.
Facts tell us that without it, we can only make jokes; Only when you have it can you be called "quality", "character" and "cultivation".
Only when people are anxious and slow down can we achieve great things and turn the tide. During the People's Liberation War, Mao Zedong was unhurried and fearless in the face of the full-scale encirclement and suppression of Yan 'an by Kuomintang troops. He moved some central organs to Xibaipo, assumed his own name, and led some troops to stay in the mountainous area of Yan 'an to play hide-and-seek with the Kuomintang troops, so as to gain time for the deployment and adjustment of large troops. It is said that in the most critical time, the PLA troops in Mao Zedong were hiding behind the slope, and everyone held their breath with Buffon's mouth, while the elite troops of the Kuomintang came from the front, but the distance between the two sides was more than 100 meters, and they didn't notice! Imagine that if any soldier makes a sound because of nervousness and panic, then the founder of the new China may no longer exist; If Mao Zedong is in a hurry, fighting in a hurry or fleeing in a hurry when the army is besieged, the people of China may still be oppressed by the "three mountains".
The wind is urgent and the heart is slow, and the spirit can be full. A person with an empty heart and no mood must be insecure; A person who has no sense of security must be afraid of this and that. In this way, when he heard of "nuclear pollution", he would also buy salt and hoard salt before the impact of "nuclear pollution" to avoid future troubles. When we really talk about the word "the wind is quick and the heart is slow", I'm afraid we will all think of hermits like The Way of Zhuangzi or Tao Yuanming. Yes, the hermit's heart should be calm and detached from the secular. I never believed that when they came here today, they would follow the trend and grab salt. But their living environment is innate, and the wind and rain they face may not be as urgent as the laity. So I think that people who are anxious and slow are more suitable for hermits in the secular world. The so-called "hidden in the city" refers to this realm.
The word "quick wind and slow heart" is not a new word. People have owned it since ancient times and follow it. For us today, we need to learn from the ancients. Of course, what is more indispensable is that we must make it grow in reality, not just a seed of "ancient style".
