However, throughout the ages, regardless of the starting point, which one is not Wang Yang who is tossing life?
Ye Chuqiao, a young writer, continued to play his relaxed and humorous style after the publication of Spring Breeze and a Glass of Wine: the Happy Life of Poets in the Tang Dynasty and I Don't Know I'm a Guest in Dreams: Poets' Years of Poetry and Wine in the Song Dynasty, mocking and continuing to write I'm a Guest on Earth: a Record of Ancient Scholars' Tossing and Turning.
This book records the life stories of 2 1 ancient literati such as Cao Zhi, Ji Kang and Tao Yuanming.
Through these 2 1 stories, we will suddenly realize that a comfortable life needs art tossing.
It takes firmness to toss your dreams.
In Xiangyang forest, three or five friends push a cup of silver lamp. A drunk shouted, "It's good to be alive and happy. Why be famous! " "
A man next to him grabbed him: "Meng Haoran, drink less, and tomorrow you will go to Beijing to see the holy one."
The man who drank himself unconscious was Meng Haoran, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty.
He is nearly 50 years old, but he has no official position. He finally got a chance to change his life in Beijing, but he got drunk this time and completely missed the officialdom.
Is his literary talent not good? Or is he unlucky?
None of them is to be adopted.
Meng Haoran went to Beijing for the first time and made friends with Zhang Jiuling, Wang Changling and Wang Wei.
At the finale of a talent contest, he let the atmosphere reach its peak with the phrase "Wei Yun is a light-hearted man with scattered raindrops". Everyone else in the room stopped writing, feeling that they couldn't get a better sentence.
For a time, Meng Haoran's fame soared. Everyone, including himself, thinks that he will be the first this time.
Unfortunately, there is "strategy theory" in the examination subjects, so it is necessary to comment on current events and give some policy plans.
This is the least familiar to Meng Haoran. Because before that, his dream was not to be an official, but to live in seclusion and sneer at current events.
"Listen to Pang Degong said yesterday, I herbalism. The mountain stream is suitable for the growth of Ganoderma Atractylodes, and the stone bed is covered with thick moss. The old man in Xiangyang was deeply grateful and pulled up the cable and climbed up. The hidden traces still exist today, and the wind is far away. "
Meng Haoran worships and imitates Saint Pang Degong. At the age when I should be striving for progress, I yearn for seclusion, write about the wild interest in Shan Ye Woods, and don't envy fresh clothes and flowers.
If he can be a hermit firmly and continue to toss about in this dream, there may be more detached Leng Shi on the Moon in the world.
However, when he saw his friend off for the exam in Beijing, he had doubts about his dream. When traveling in Dongting Lake, his blood was boiling because of the magnificent scenery.
He is no longer satisfied with mediocrity and is eager to make contributions. As the year ended, Fang moved to Beijing. On the way, he was still struggling for his career and retirement.
This entanglement continues until the last chance of old age.
Not knowing the direction of his dream, he invited his friends to make a decision for himself.
Because I was drunk and swayed between dreams, I missed the opportunity.
We should know that only when we work hard in our dreams will we know whether dreams are dreams or fruits that can be picked.
Dreams need firm pursuit. Want to, can be realized.
Tossing fame and fortune requires indifference.
"Song is dead, but this person is not dead, the first person in the world in 300 years!"
This is a high praise from Saint Zhu Dui.
Lin Bu recorded in The History of Song Dynasty is as follows: quiet, simple-minded, not pursuing fame and fortune. Even if his family is poor and has insufficient food and clothing, he is so plain. He lives in an isolated mountain near the West Lake and has not been to that city for twenty years.
He does not seek fame and fortune, but "fame and fortune" often knocks on his door.
Song Dynasty poets Mei and Fan Zhongyan were his guests.
Song Zhenzong Zhao Hengjiu sent someone to the West Lake Gushan to invite Lin Bu to be the capital of the Prince's class.
This is the teacher of the future son of heaven! How many literati and scholars are eager to be famous all over the world.
Lin Bu said: "Although the reputation is far away, it is only a hollow name; Being in officialdom is a very dangerous thing. How can fame and fortune compare with majestic peaks and picturesque lakes? In this life, as long as you are comfortable. "
He doesn't want wealth to come to his door. He also burned his famous works indifferently and casually.
Facing others, I don't understand why they don't make their works into a book to be immortal.
He said brightly: "I live in seclusion in the mountains, but I just don't want to be famous in this era." How can I think about spreading it to future generations? "
Lin Bu's more than 300 poems would not have been circulated if there were no silent records of it. Su Rang, the son of Su Shi, a great writer, lost a model essay because of imitation learning.
Lin Bu can write not only good poems, but also good handwriting, especially cursive. Ou Yangxun, Li Jianzhong and other calligraphers applauded his works. Seeing Lin Bu's calligraphy, Huang Tingjian said: "There is no medicine for illness and no medicine for hunger."
You don't need to take medicine when you are sick, and you don't need to eat when you are hungry. Just look at Lin Bu's handwriting.
Life in Lin Bu is the most advanced way of life.
He took plum as his wife and crane as his son, and wrote "Fragrant fragrance floating" in "thin shadow".
He does not take the initiative to toss about fame and fortune, and is indifferent to fame and fortune.
When he died, he was only glad that others could not find his flattery in his manuscript.
He showed us:
Fame and fortune can't be tossed around. If you don't care about it, the breeze will come.
Throwing away power requires caution.
In the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang gave the prepared soup to Song Lian.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who is suspicious by nature, has given Song Lian infinite honor, but he also wants to test him from time to time.
Once after dawn, Zhu Yuanzhang left Song Lian alone and asked him: Did you drink last night? Who did you drink with?
Song Lian told the guests at the party and the delicious drinks in detail.
Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded frankly: I sent people to your party to observe, and what you said was the same as what they reported. You are really honest.
Song Lian quickly bowed: "Your Majesty, you are my father and heaven. How dare I lie to you? "
The emperor's face lit up and he trusted Song Lian even more.
He asked Song Lian to comment on the civil and military officials. Song Lian has given great affirmation.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously, "None of them are bad?"
Song Lian's righteous words: "Colleagues are loyal ministers and sages. Others, I have never dealt with them, and I don't know who they are. "
I can't compliment you for being so thorough, steady and cautious in dealing with people.
For example, Shang Shuru, the minister of punishments, angered Zhu Yuanzhang because of his comments on state affairs. Others echoed the emperor's words, saying that Ru Taisu despised and slandered the court.
Only Song Lian "committed a crime against the wind", advised the emperor to calm down, and could not punish the active ministers.
The emperor carefully re-examined the throne of Ru Taisu and had to admit that Ru Taisu's remarks were well-founded. If Song Lian hadn't stopped him, he would have really made a big mistake.
Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a rough background and didn't read much. There is a little trouble in the sky. He is worried about whether the country he just laid is stable.
Song Lian was worried about your worries, but he didn't cater to his negative emotions. Instead, I took the opportunity to persuade the emperor that "as long as you are kind and win the hearts of the people, everything will be fine."
People often say, "A companion is like a tiger."
Because of political needs, Zhu Yuanzhang raised a butcher's knife to Song Lian. Song Lian's second son and grandson were executed, and the whole family was able to drag out an ignoble existence and was exiled under the mediation of Ma Huanghou and the Prince. Song Lian died in exile.
Serving the powerful, especially the emperor, is treading on thin ice. If you want to toss about in power, there is no prudent and calm living method, which is even more difficult.
Song Lian can't die a fair death. After his death, Emperor Xiaozong resumed his official position and made it clear that he would sacrifice twice a year. Emperor Wu Zongdi chased posthumous title.
Zhu Yuanzhang also gave him a fair evaluation in Ming History:
The best man is a saint, followed by a sage and then a gentleman. Song Like Lian, who has been with me 19 years, has never said anything against his will, never exposed the shortcomings of others, never embarrassed or humiliated, and has always been consistent. He is not only a gentleman, but also a saint.
In life, risks are everywhere. Tossing power can only be cautious.
There is a saying in Historical Records: "Shu Ren is content with the old customs, and scholars drown in the old news."
It can be seen that there are many knowledge nutrients in Old News.
