Looking up at the starry sky, people determine their unique coordinates in the world in the vast galaxy; Down-to-earth, people in the process of accumulating footsteps, moving towards the holy land in their hearts.
People say that the earth is very different from the sky, and it is a contradiction to look at the stars in a down-to-earth way. People will forget to move forward when they look up, and forget the direction when they are on the road. I don't think so. The blue sky above them and the earth under their feet are isomorphic to the world we live in and indispensable to us. The sky represents hopes and goals. Looking up at the starry sky, people have the impulse to fly and their own little consciousness. The earth represents reality and life, and people are down-to-earth, so they can pursue what they want in their hearts and move forward calmly towards their ideals. Walking between heaven and earth, people have dreams and reality, hope and life at the same time.
Looking up at the starry sky, the infinite unknown gives people the courage to explore and insert the wings of dreams for this creature walking on the earth. The change of the laws of the sun, the moon and the stars day and night has brought people their own curiosity and impulse, and people are eager to know everything around them and their position in the world. Thus, from the theory of "the sky is round and the place is round" to the shock of "geocentric theory" and then to Gagarin's initiative, when Apollo landed on the moon for the first time, countless people looked at everything from a rational point of view in different ways, and science existed. Thus, from China's Zhouyi, to the sculpture of ancient Greece, and then to the Renaissance, countless people described the world we live in from a perceptual point of view in different ways, and art continued. Science and art come from looking up at the starry sky, which has brought rich spiritual life to mankind, so people have a pair of wings that can fly to the unknown.
Down-to-earth, let us have the pleasure of asceticism, let us have an ordinary and peaceful life. As the old saying goes, "settle for the second best and be lenient." Down-to-earth, let's start weaving nets to harvest our dreams, which is a simple attitude towards life. Someone once asked the secret of meditation, and the Zen master only replied, "I'm hungry and I'm sleepy." All kinds of picky, all kinds of difficulties, all kinds of requirements. "So people in reality are not like this. People are dizzy all day and ask for it with unrealistic fantasies, but few people can calm down and do what they should do now. Down-to-earth, they weave a net for people to catch their dreams.
In our life, looking at the stars in a down-to-earth way has always been a seamless whole and can never be separated. Some people only look up at the starry sky, hold unrealistic ideas, and deceive themselves at the same time, so that they forget to retreat and make a net. Some people only pay attention to their feet on the ground, but fall into a blind and ignorant situation, so that they miss the opportunity.
If looking up at the starry sky brings us a rich spiritual life, then it brings us a down-to-earth life. May we gallop freely between heaven and earth, and rely on the wings brought by the starry sky and the huge net brought by the earth to harvest our inner dreams and wonderful life.
Looking up at the starry sky and down-to-earth, we can walk on our own roads calmly. Look at the stars in a down-to-earth way

Some people say that people should know how to look up at the stars, otherwise they will be nearsighted; Some people say that people must be down-to-earth, or they will accomplish nothing. In my opinion, we should neither forget to look up at the starry sky nor keep our feet on the ground, otherwise we will either lack our dreams or the power to put them into practice.
Premier Wen once said: Only when more people look up at the starry sky will a nation have a future ... Indeed, we need to look up at the starry sky like Thoreau and turn the pursuit of worldly fame and fortune into an illusion of the starry sky. While others are used to measuring the value of life by numbers in order to haggle over every ounce, Thoreau found his direction in the vast nature and the purest dream in the vast starry sky. Imagine if we
Shortly after Mr. Qian Zhongshu died, someone wrote an article in memory of him.
Indeed, Mr. Qian Zhongshu's "silent" and "diligent" life can be described as a down-to-earth model. He devoted himself to academic research all his life, never contended for fame and fortune, never wasted his time making friends, reading ancient books, studying and writing monographs. He devoted all his life to putting his demanding knowledge into practice, and worked hard to create this great scholar who is proficient in Chinese and Western. Imagine without his feet.
We can envy Thoreau's freedom to look up at the stars, and we can also envy Qian Zhongshu's down-to-earth efforts. However, please don't forget that no great man can achieve such admirable achievements just by looking up at the stars or keeping his feet on the ground. If Thoreau didn't open up a world far away from the city by himself after looking up at the starry sky, lacked the determination to stick to a pure and peaceful dream all his life, and couldn't turn his dream into reality, how could there be Walden Lake? If Mr. Qian Zhongshu doesn't know how to look up at the vast starry sky of human history and set up such lofty aspirations before he is down to earth, how can he achieve the excellent introduction of Guan Cone and write a wise and incomparable philosophy of life written on the edge of life?
Therefore, looking up at the starry sky is the beginning of our dream, and down-to-earth is the way to realize our dream. We need a childlike innocence to find the light of our dreams, and we need maturity and perseverance to complete the journey of realizing our dreams.
Look up at the stars and look for dreams beyond the constraints of reality.
Down-to-earth, use your own hands to realize your dreams.
Since the goal is in the distance, only pay attention to the hardships and hardships, and set out towards the brightest constellation in the sky, step by step, in order to capture your dreams.
