The meaning of this passage is that if you can observe foreign objects with a calm eye in an extremely lively and noisy occasion, you can save a lot of annoying things; When you are frustrated and lonely, if you have a determination to make progress, you can get a lot of real fun in life.
If there is a happy realm, there must be an unhappy realm opposite it; Where there are beautiful scenery, there must be beautiful scenery for reference. It can be seen that there are joys and sorrows, good and bad. Only ordinary people and self-discipline are the happiest state.
Roll up the curtains and look at the mountains surrounded by white clouds. Only when you see the smoky mountains and green waters can you understand how wonderful nature should be. Flowers and trees flourish in front of the window, bamboo forests sway, and birds and pigeons tell the time. So I have realized the unity of all things without forgetting myself.
If you know that success is bound to fail, then maybe the idea of success will not be so firm; If you know that life must die, then you don't have to be too well-intentioned.
Gui Guzi said: "Everything in the world should be treated with dialectical thinking." In other words, we should look at problems dialectically in life.
Everything has two sides or many sides, but in real life, most people always "kill a boatman with one pole" and always like to generalize.
For example, if a girl has had several friends of the opposite sex, she will blame the man for all the reasons after the failure of love, and then come to the conclusion that men don't have a good thing, and I don't believe in love anymore.
So we should not be too radical and extreme about this world, which will bring a lot of trouble to our lives.
"A friend in need is a friend indeed, and the cold comes and the summer goes" is the spirit of thinking of failure when you succeed and keeping struggling when you fail. This is actually a very wise enterprising spirit.
"Zhi Zhi will be confirmed later, and then he will be quiet." This sentence is best explained by a word "enough".
Stop at the right time and place, so as to have a clear understanding and judgment of the present form and the future road.
Therefore, actions are measured, and everything is measured.
Su Shi put forward in Bao Hua Tangji: "A gentleman can hint at things, but he can't pay attention to them. Hidden in things, although small things are enough for fun, although beautiful things are not enough to cause disease. Pay attention to things, although small things are enough to get sick, although beautiful things are not enough for fun. "
Su Shi loved painting and calligraphy when he was young. How much does he like it? Things collected at home, so as not to lose them; Others have it, but they are afraid they won't get it.
Later, I suddenly realized: "I am thin and rich, but I am thicker than a book, and I am more important than painting." Isn't it a mistake to lose your heart? " Since then, I have never indulged too much. In this way, beautiful calligraphy and painting will still make you happy, but you won't be overly addicted.
For example, if we are slightly drunk, this should be the highest level of drinking.
Some people say that "drunkenness is a happy way for adults to be alone, and it is also the most decent indulgence for adults."
The ancients said, "Half-blooming flowers make the wine slightly drunk." Being slightly drunk is just the right thing to drink, and it is a pleasure.
If you are drunk as mud, if you exceed this level, the result will be tumbling over the river, vomiting, and your health will inevitably suffer.
Therefore, everything is measured. The ancients said, indifferent and complacent, quiet and far-reaching, is to pursue the doctrine of the mean, frugal but not extravagant, quiet but not impetuous.
Once everything goes too far, it will inevitably cause harm to the body, and it is more likely to make mistakes in treating people.
Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, once said, "My husband is better than me, and I am not as good as my ovary."
This "ovary" that can make a generation of kings feel ashamed is Sean, one of three outstanding heroes of early han dynasty.
He played a decisive role in the process of Liu Bang's proclaimed himself emperor. With his wisdom, he saved the day many times and made great contributions.
Later, Liu Bang gained hegemony, but his doubts grew day by day, which led to the killing of many heroes.
In this cruel struggle, Sean knew that "a wily rabbit dies, a running dog cooks birds, and a good bow hides;" The truth of the destruction of the enemy and the death of the counselor.
Therefore, at the right time, we chose to retreat and leave the center of the whirlpool decisively, avoiding the ending of "the rabbit died and the dog was cooked".
In advance and retreat, Sean grasped the right "degree". This is the most perfect ending for Zhang Liang to retire and die well.
Confucius once said, "Do whatever you want." .
Throughout Sean's life, he not only obeyed his heart, but also did not bring disaster to himself because he broke the rules, and he was always free to do things.
As the saying goes, life is measured and it is a disaster.
Only by grasping the "degree" in life can we achieve real stability and prosperity.
Laozi once said: "Five colors are blind, five tones are deaf, five flavors are refreshing, and they are crazy about hunting." Indeed, the world is rich and colorful. If we don't control our feelings, goods, achievements and reputation, we will easily fall into the whirlpool of material desires and get lost in hobbies and fame.
Therefore, in life, people must be appropriate and not excessive.
Life is a cycle, and everything is full. Monthly surplus means loss, water surplus means overflow, and people surplus means arrogance. Only by keeping half can they live happily.
Flowers bloom and fall, these are the laws of natural circulation, and they are also the way of profit and loss.
Some people say that why birds fly high is because birds make themselves very light. Only by acting moderately and doing everything moderately can we not be trapped by things and have fun everywhere.
As the saying goes, "Leave a line in everything so that we can meet again in the future." Leave room for everything and avoid going to extremes.
Especially when weighing the gains and losses of advance and retreat, we must pay attention to what is appropriate, stop when it is ready, and never go too far.
