Don't lose face, just watch the flowers bloom in front of the court. If you have no intention of staying or staying, it is easy to follow the clouds outside.
This sentence is a couplet written by Hong Yingming in Ming Dynasty, which is included in Chen Meigong's anthology "You Chuang Xiao Ji". This is the most famous sentence in this book.
This sentence means that when people do things, they can be as ordinary as flowers and flowers, and they can be calm; See if you want to keep the position, it can be unintentional.
A pair of couplets, in a few words, profoundly expresses the attitude that life should have towards things, things and fame and fortune: you don't like what you get, you don't worry about what you lose, you don't disgrace it, and you don't have any intention of staying or staying. Only in this way can you feel peaceful and indifferent to nature.
Looking at the front of the court means hiding in a small building to take care of spring, summer, autumn and winter, while looking up at the sky shows the broad feelings of not sharing common sense with others; The phrase "clouds roll and clouds are comfortable" has the lofty realm that a gentleman can bend and stretch. Similar to Fan Zhongyan's thought of not being happy with things and not being sad for oneself, it is also quite broad-minded and romantic for Wei and Jin figures.
