At that time, the talented woman who played piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and hops became a housewife obsessed with "rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea". Indeed, such a change in heaven and earth is distressing, just like the white swan in the sky suddenly turned into a wild duck fluttering in the water. Who won't feel sorry for this subversive moment?
However, is this really the end of comedy and the beginning of tragedy? I don't think so. Once upon a time, standing in the starlight spotlight was the highlight of the crowd, enjoying the sense of superiority brought by life, but everything will come to an end, just as people who walk on stilts will eventually walk off stilts, and we will eventually enter the essence of life, because we are the experiencers of life.
Xi Murong said: "Every road has its own reasons to trudge like this, and every road has its own direction to choose like this." When a lofty and elegant woman puts on an apron full of ups and downs, she is also moving from poetry to mixed tastes. Perhaps this is the real life, not just gorgeous flowers and cakes, but the dull life that often accompanies her for the rest of her life.
Maybe this is the meaning of life. From heaven to earth, from noisy to quiet, from graceful to bent back. We gradually integrate into life from the impermanent changes, experience life, experience life, lose the elegance that gradually faded on the way, and pick up an apron stained with stains on the roadside, which is tears and comfort, bitterness and preparation for regaining life.
Tao Yuanming resigned and returned to his hometown to live in seclusion, while Li Shutong fled into an empty net at the peak of his artistic career. Who hasn't gone from the peak to the simplicity of life? Ji Kang, who refused to bow to the powerful all his life, should let his son inherit his strength, but he taught his children not to be such a tough guy, but to learn to bow. Su Dongpo also wrote a poem to his son: "Everyone raises his son to be smart, but I was eventually mistaken for being smart. I only hope that this child is honest and honest, and there is no disaster and no difficulty in reaching the public. " I never doubt their insistence on moral integrity, but I believe that in the face of children's happiness, they may all bow to reality and surrender to life. This may be the truth of life that can only be felt by wearing an apron of life.
When elegance puts on an apron, we may get lost, but one day when we suddenly look back, you will find that this is not the bifurcation point of tragicomedy, but the drama of life as usual.
In this drama of life, we just learned to sit in front of the court and watch the flowers bloom and fall, the leaves wither and the wind stop, and from looking up at the starry sky to bowing our heads to feel the clear Wan Li.
