Throw away all the miscellaneous things in life, and look at the past in life calmly, not happy with things, not sad with yourself. Fan Zhongyan treated his demotion calmly, and encouraged people to take the world as their responsibility and set up lofty thoughts with his political ambition of "worrying about the world first and enjoying it later", which also reflected the poet's broad mind and calm mind. Just like the couplets in Chen Jiru's "Little Window" in the Ming Dynasty: don't insult, look at the flowers before the court; I have no intention of staying or staying, looking at the clouds in the sky. A pair of couplets, in a few words, profoundly expresses the attitude that life should have towards things, things and fame and fortune: you don't like what you get, you don't worry about what you lose, you don't disgrace it, and you don't have any intention of staying or staying. Only in this way can you feel peaceful and indifferent to nature. The word "looking in front of the court" is to hide in a small building and become a unified one. It is also natural for flowers to bloom and fall. Why care about spring, summer, autumn and winter? The word "looking up to the sky" shows a broad feeling of being far-sighted and not agreeing with others; The last sentence, there is a lofty realm, one can bend and stretch. This is not only similar to Fan Zhongyan's "don't be happy with things, don't be sad for yourself", but also similar to the broad-minded romantic feelings of Wei and Jin figures.
Let go of all the complexity, grope for ideas in simplicity, and it is easiest to understand and perceive the true meaning of life when you are calm. A leisurely life is like a quiet stream, and a leisurely work is like a gentle breeze. Perhaps it is because of this calmness and calmness that life and work have that kind of passion and happiness. People are as light as chrysanthemums, what they want is the calmness and persistence of chrysanthemums. The key to indifferent life is a light word. Beyond honor and disgrace, beyond fame and fortune, beyond temptation. Although I despise life. But it has the backbone and charm of chrysanthemum. It has the lightness and fragrance of chrysanthemum. Chrysanthemums bloom in September, showing their beauty and charm. Attract public attention. Let a hundred flowers blossom, and I am the only one. In the cold season, chrysanthemum still smiles brightly. I think this is also Tao Yuanming's calmness.
The reason why Tao Yuanming's Wei and Jin figures are so open-minded and romantic is that they are indifferent to fame and fortune, not happy with things or sad for themselves, and can write those free and easy poems with a quiet and peaceful mind. The core of The Analects is to promote an attitude towards life, that is, a person's life is just a period of time borrowed from the long river of years, so we should cherish it and find ways to be happy and happy. If you are hurt and treated unfairly, you should forget it as soon as possible and let it go. If you are worried, sad and angry about it, then you will be doubly hurt, that is, you are not kind to yourself and others, and the benevolent has no worries and leads a quiet life. Learn from Yan Hui's calm attitude to the situation: "A spoonful of food and a spoonful of wine, in a mean alley, people can't bear their worries, and they won't have any fun when they go back.".
There is still a long way to go in life, that is, when the night is quiet as water ... the greatness of life lies in its unpredictability, sometimes crisis, sometimes blooming. Life is beautiful. Let's face it hard. But after walking in the world for so long, we finally know that there is a desert in life. We can't choose life, but we can choose the way of life. Being a man should be somewhat indifferent, somewhat cool and drizzling, and somewhat charming and poetic; Do things calmly, between pitching, still free and easy, still casual. Not deliberate, not hypocritical, not influenced by thousands of poems, we have a plenty of simplicity in simple years; Without maturity after vicissitudes of life, we have plenty of calmness.
Mr. Zhao Puchu, a famous social activist and outstanding patriotic religious leader, wrote in his posthumous work: "Be happy when you are born, and die without regret. The flowers are still blooming and the water is still flowing. I have nothing. Who will rest in peace? I don't care if the moon is bright and cool. " This sentence fully embodies a lofty spiritual realm of modesty, letting nature take its course, not demanding and not regretting, and also shows the world Zhao Lao's indifferent attitude towards life.
In life, poverty and wealth, nobility and lowliness, sharing weal and woe, gains and losses are inevitable. It is important that we learn to find a balanced life coordinate, so that we will not be conceited because of complacency and will not sink because of frustration. When we face the great joys and sorrows of life or the impermanence of life and death, we can treat everything with indifference, and those in life will naturally return to dust. As the saying goes, true heroes are free and easy, true celebrities are romantic!
