Five-color blindness and five-tone deafness
Mr Jiang Yang once said:
"A simple life and a noble soul are the highest realms of life."
The road is simple, simple and complicated to control.
The higher the spiritual level, the simpler life.

Simple desire
The ancients said: "Life is alive, those who have desires are tired, those who have no desires are safe, and those who have no desires are strong."
Everyone has worldly desires.
Desire is human nature, but it is too heavy and tired.
In the face of money, some people will use all means; In the face of fame, some people will be insidious and vicious.
The abacus tinkled, and finally I was exhausted, and I lived more tired than anyone else.
And people with simple desires will live more comfortably without calculation.
Just like Mr. Jiang Yang, despite her poverty, she still has confidence in money, fame and wealth.
After the death of her husband Qian Zhongshu, Jiang Yang lived a simple life and carefully arranged Qian Zhongshu's manuscripts.
At that time, these items were very expensive, but Jiang Yang didn't miss the money.
But she and her husband's payment were donated to Tsinghua University.
Set up a "study hard" scholarship to reward those students from poor families who love reading.
The whole world calls her "sir", but she doesn't value those reputations.
In 2007, a media used her and Qian Zhongshu to speculate on sales.
Jiang Yang, who has always been kind to others, was very angry when he learned this. He also wrote an article asking them to apologize.
Some people say that there is no need to be so serious. It is a good thing for more people to know your husband and wife.
But Jiang Yang doesn't think so. She thinks that propaganda with false news is not only disrespectful to her, but also deceiving readers.
She cares more about the truth and readers' feelings than fame.
Not only Jiang Yang, but also Qian Zhongshu.
They don't cling to their own desires, seek neither fame nor profit, and spend more time on their studies and their own lives, so their lives are simpler and purer.
It is often said that the older you get, the more troubles you have.
In fact, it is not age, but people want more and more things.
Lin Qingxuan once said:
"Qing Huan is the subtraction of life. Now we abandon the shackles of secular pursuits and desires and return to the simplest happiness. This is the most delicious situation in life. "
People with higher spiritual level must be indifferent to the pursuit of material luxury.
It is great wisdom to be skilled in the heart, simple in form and simple to the extreme.

Life is simple.
What is happiness?
Different people have different answers.
The poor will say that money is happiness; The blind will say that seeing is happiness;
The patient will say that living is happiness; A bachelor will say that a wife is happy.
All these have come true, will they still say these are happiness?
Not necessarily, because happiness is not an end, but a state.
From 65438 to 0935, Jiang Yang and her husband Qian Zhongshu studied at Oxford University in England.
At first, Jiang Yang was not used to studying abroad. He often wanted to go home, and his mood was very low.
Qian Zhongshu saw it in his eyes and pitied it in his heart.
In order to alleviate her homesickness, he tried his best to make her happy.
One morning, while Jiang Yang was still sleeping, Qian Zhongshu got up quietly.
He seldom does housework, and plans to make breakfast for Jiang Yang himself.
I worked hard and finally prepared a hearty breakfast for her.
When Jiang Yang woke up, he took care of her to get up first, and then put the small table on the bed so that she could enjoy breakfast comfortably.
Jiang Yang was very surprised. After breakfast, she happily said to Qian Zhongshu, "This is the best breakfast I have ever had."
Later, after their daughter A Yuan was born, the sweetness of two people became the happiness of three people.
Jiang Yang wrote in The Three of Us:
Once, when students came home, Qian Zhongshu taught them seriously.
Jiang Yang keeps the house clean, while Ayuan plays in his room.
After the students left, Ah Yuan went to see Qian Zhongshu's manuscript, and Qian Zhongshu hid it for fear that she would break it.
One father and another daughter hide, while the other searches and plays with each other.
Jiang Yang sat by, watching them play, with a happy smile on his face.
There is a proverb that says well:
"Life is simple and charming, and people are simple and happy. Learning to be simple is not simple. "
Happiness begins with simplicity, and pain begins with complexity.
People often complain that life is not happy at all.
That's because we don't feel the little things that bring us happiness with our heart.
Go out of the office after work and know that there is a lover waiting for you at home;
As night falls, I see a lamp lighting for you at home;
When you are frustrated, someone is around to shelter you from the wind and rain.
Three meals a day all year round. The family sat together, with lovely lights.
Life is like this, what can a husband expect?
Speaking of it, the most precious happiness is also the simple little luck in life.

simple-minded
Lin Yutang said: "The most important thing to enjoy is the state of mind."
There are always several hurdles on the road of life; Life is always a little bitter.
Facing the same situation, different people have different moods.
Only with a simple mind can you have plenty of energy to face the difficulties of the world.
1958, Jiang Yang was sent to rural reconstruction.
At that time, rural conditions were very limited, and food, clothing, housing and transportation were big problems.
Even the toilet is a big barrel with two boards on it, and people are squatting there without any sense of security.
This is a great challenge for Jiang Yang, who comes from a famous family.
But instead of complaining, she actively adjusted her mentality, quickly accepted the status quo and adapted to local life.
She goes to work with local farmers, eats, lives and chats together.
During this period, she didn't put herself above her figure and didn't dislike anyone.
This mentality made her quickly integrate into the villagers, and all the women in the village regarded her as their sisters.
If you have something to say to her, she will help when she needs help.
After the completion of the transformation task, many people commented on her as "a farmer who can integrate into the countryside".
This surprised not only colleagues in the unit, but also Qian Zhongshu.
How a person looks at the world and what kind of mood he has.
Complex mentality, looking at things, will be more worried and more painful;
Simple-minded, seeing things will be more direct and clear, and a little more happy.
Arthur conan doyle said:
"A state of mind is one hundred times better than a dose of good medicine. Only a state of mind is the world where people can gallop freely. A mentality can turn hell into heaven or heaven into hell. "
The road of life and the difficulties encountered are inevitable.
In the face of difficulties, since there is nowhere to escape, it is better to face them calmly with the simplest mentality.
When encountering difficulties, face them directly; When you are entangled, let it be.
When your mind is simple, all problems will be solved.
Tao Te Ching said: "Five colors make people blind, five tones make people deaf, and five flavors make people cool."
The road is simple and complicated in people's minds.
All beings suffer, but there are always some people who live happier, not because they have more than others, but because they want less than others.
Be a simple person and live a simple life, no matter what the world is like, you can always walk leisurely.
Give us a compliment. I hope we can live a simple and happy life with a simple mind in this complicated society.
