I. Introduction to Cold Kiln Fu
Also known as "Broken Kiln Fu" and "Persuasion", it is the work of Lv Mengzheng, a sage in the Northern Song Dynasty. At that time, Lv Mengzheng used to be the prince's teacher. This article was written by Lv Mengzheng to persuade the prince. Lv Mengzheng described his experience from poverty to wealth, and listed the ups and downs of many famous people in history to illustrate a natural cycle of life thought. The text of this article is easy to understand, but its meaning is profound, which is very close to the content and form in Zengguang Xianwen, and the relevant materials of Song history are also recorded.
Second, a brief analysis of the works
(1) Broken Kiln Fu reveals the concept of life fate and the natural change cycle of heaven and earth. Based on my own experience from suffering to wealth, this paper lists all kinds of fates and hardships experienced by many celebrities in history from ancient times to the present, and explains the ups and downs of life destiny in this world in a factual and reasonable way.
(2) The beginning and end of life, in this cycle of natural changes in heaven, earth, time and space, there will be different and unexpected man-made and natural changes. Only those who have experienced too many hardships, vicissitudes and ups and downs can experience the most profound impermanence of heaven and great changes of human feelings, and can experience the dramatic ups and downs of fate and the helpless ending of many lives in the cycle of human traps, man-made and natural changes in heaven and earth.
