The content of A Floating Life Like a Dream consists of four parts: 1. Life. See Nanshan leisurely. Second, socialize. No Ding Bai. Third, diet. But I like the beauty of perch. Fourth, life. Life is like a dream.
The first part is about life, including essays describing daily life, such as elegant rooms, reading, mahjong, chess and cards. Between the lines, I feel the author's lightness, satisfaction and humor. For example, in the article Reading, the author said that if the book can be made into a "micro-movie" and brought into the stomach or projected into the brain, learning will become unnecessary. In Mahjong, the author can't play mahjong. He claims to be a person who knows three things-nothing.
The second part, about social communication, includes topics such as modesty, giving gifts, why not tell the truth, the art of conversation, and talking about friendship. , focusing on communication and getting along with each other. Social communication is full of knowledge everywhere, whether it is giving gifts, talking or swearing, there is knowledge. Take gift giving as an example. If everyone gives cakes on their birthdays, the owner of the birthday will have to worry about what to do with the cakes they receive. If it is to send valuables, but the small room can't hold them, it is also an annoyance. If the gift is delivered incorrectly, it will become a burden to the recipient. Therefore, Master Liang Shiqiu said that gifts should be to one's liking.
Regarding the communication between people, Liang Shiqiu quoted Schopenhauer's fable in No One is Watching to remind people that there are others in this world besides myself, and I am not the only human porcupine. It's best to restrain my mane, big and small, and don't stretch as proudly as possible like a peacock.
The third part, about diet. Collected 17 essays such as Zen, Eating and Drinking, and Bean Juice. With such a large space to write about food, it can be seen that Liang Lao's preference for food is also called "eating goods" in his choice.
The fourth part, about life. This part * * * contains essays such as "Remembering childhood, childhood, middle age, old age, missing my mother" 10. Liang Shiqiu wrote about his retirement and his feelings about life since he was a child. It is a natural law to live, die and die, but when you really reach middle age and old age, you will still be disappointed. And people, doing the right things at the right age, is a good state.
Old Liang likes to use allusions. Many articles in A Floating Life is Like a Dream are allusions. These classics are annotated, and there are many gains from careful annotation.
