The most important quality in life is to stick to the bottom line of the soul. As a man, be worthy of the sky and not ashamed of the ground. The bottom line of the soul is the cornerstone of life, the minimum criterion of life, stick to the bottom line of the soul and be a real person.
When Qu Yuan walked towards the Guluo River with a big stone in his arms, the phrase "I am alone when the world is turbid, and I am alone when the world is drunk" should still reverberate behind me. "People who can observe with their own bodies and be influenced by things? It is better to go to a regular stream and be buried in the belly of a river fish. It can be white, but who is gentle in the world? " This is his confession. He didn't want to go, so he wrote Huai Sha and walked to the river. He looked back and saw the March of Du Ying and Qin Jun. After closing his eyes, he stuck to his inner bottom line. He lay at the bottom of the river, but stood between heaven and earth.
Guluo River is flowing quietly. Is it telling something, or is it implying something? I silently realized that my thoughts were flying.
Whenever Su Qin flies, it seems that he can still feel Ji Kang's heroic spirit of dying. Neither the 3,000 Thai students who bowed their heads and asked him to be a teacher, nor the king of a country who stood above them, made him hesitate. Is life, as long as he bowed his head and said a word, but he raised an eyebrow and said "bring the piano", then the result is death. A song "Guangling San" ended his life. In the melodious sound of the piano, he stuck to his inner bottom line with his life.
That song is great. It shows us a real Ji Kang. Even in the face of death, he didn't let his heart fall below that bottom line. He is an upright man.
If Ji Kang is a shining star in the vast historical sky, what about Tao Yuanming?
The stream is gurgling, the chrysanthemums are fragrant, and the voice of Tao Yuanming's poems is floating in the wind. "Building a house is under human conditions, but there are no chariots and horses. Ask what you can do, but your heart is far from self-centered ... "He didn't bend down to pick up five buckets of rice, but found his own peach blossom garden in the secluded chrysanthemum in Nanshan. He searched all over the valley and rugged over the hills, staying away from the dirty officialdom in leisure and sticking to the bottom line of his heart.
It is undeniable that Tao Yuanming can shine in the historical sky and stand calmly between heaven and earth. Looking back at history, I also saw Su Wu, Li Bai, Yue Fei and many other sages who stuck to their inner bottom line. They stand proudly between heaven and earth, making all those who cross the bottom line feel ashamed.
Stick to the bottom line of the soul, let the sky be overcast, let the sea be empty, and let the rain cast its shadows before it, and you can go on leisurely. In the sky of the soul, you can watch the fallen flowers in front of the pavilion.
