Fan Zhongyan said: "Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself" to express his open-mindedness, but you know, people like Fan Zhongyan who can be given the posthumous title of "Wenzheng" after death can enable the family to inherit A person who has not declined for hundreds of years, let alone a saint, is at least a first-class sage.
Don’t be happy with things, don’t be sad with yourself, this is what I say to sages like Fan Zhongyan. If we hold ourselves to this standard, we are asking for trouble, because it is simply impossible to achieve it.
Li Bai said, "To be successful in life, you must have all the fun" to be more like an ordinary person. So, "you must have all the joy in life", but what should you do when you are frustrated in life? Enjoy the poetry of "frustration"
In fact, this has been made very clear. When you are not successful in life, don't drink to drown your sorrows. It's still the old saying, "A knife cuts off the water, and the water flows forever; drinking wine to drown sorrow makes it worse." Yes, alcohol can only allow you to escape reality for a while. When you wake up, the problem is still there. If you don’t make up your mind to move it and overcome it, it will always be in front of you, blocking you.
Think about the successful celebrities in the world who have never experienced the suffering of their darkest moments. There are countless examples, not to mention that we are all ordinary people. People who have gone through the baptism of Phoenix Nirvana will be unfazed by favors and humiliations, and the clouds and clouds in their hearts will become lighter and lighter like the passing clouds and smoke.
Because of many things in the past, I felt like the sky was falling down at the time. Looking back now, I can only sigh at how ignorant and stupid I was at that time. In fact, the key to many failures is our lack of knowledge or insufficient accumulation of experience.
Then get up, keep the green hills, and don’t worry about running out of firewood. As long as you are not willing to fail, you will always succeed. Since life is often unsatisfactory, we should always keep "not drunk" when we "have fun". The difference between the two types of people
The first is that they are frustrated in life and focus on the mountains and rivers, either living in seclusion or wandering, and their mentality is also different. For example, Tao Yuanming, who refused to give in to five buckets of rice, lived in seclusion and wrote immortal masterpieces such as "Drinking Drinking", "Returning to the Garden and Living in the Fields", and "Returning to Come and Say Ci".
There is also Wang Wei, who had no intention of pursuing an official career in his later years and devoted himself to Buddhism. He was deeply attached to landscapes and was one of the representatives of landscape pastoral poetry in the Tang Dynasty. Together with Meng Haoran, he was known as "Wang Meng". The two of them lived a secluded life, contentedly. Qu Yuan, who was loyal but abandoned, was wandering by the Miluo River and wrote "Li Sao": "Fu Qingbai will die straight, solid and holy." He tried his best to wash away his grievances, but he couldn't get over this hurdle and was buried in the belly of the river fish. , so miserable.
When Yang Shen, the great talent and number one scholar of the Ming Dynasty, was extremely frustrated in his life, he walked to Jiangling in Hubei Province in shackles. He saw a fisherman and a firewood man cooking fish and drinking wine by the river, chatting and laughing, and felt very sad. With emotion, he wrote a poem that has been passed down through the ages: "The rolling waters of the Yangtze River pass eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes. Right and wrong, success or failure, are all gone.
The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. The white-haired fisherman and woodcutter On the riverside, I am used to seeing the autumn moon and the spring breeze. I am happy to meet each other over a pot of wine. Many things in ancient and modern times are all laughed at. "This poem was originally written when I was most frustrated, but it expresses the most indifferent and detached mind. It is soul-stirring to read. The second is to devote yourself to learning and eventually become a master.
For example, Sima Qian, the author of "Historical Records", finally wrote my country's first biographical general history, "Historical Records", after suffering the torture of castration. He is known as the Li Sao without rhyme and the historian. The swan song. Wang Yangming, a famous thinker, philosopher, calligrapher, military strategist, and educator in the Ming Dynasty, was relegated to Longchang, Guizhou, where he served as the postmaster of Longchang Station.
Longchang was still an uncivilized area at that time, but he was not discouraged and civilized and taught the locals according to their customs, and was loved by the people. After studying things to gain knowledge and enlightenment in Longchang, he finally became a master of mind learning. Interpretation
This is a poem that many people copied in their notebooks. The poet was in adversity at the time, but still insisted on a positive, optimistic and strong attitude towards life. A very ordinary poem, but it aroused people's attention The *** rings.
"If life deceives you", the poet asked people at the beginning, yes, there is no low point in a person's life. Life is not smooth sailing, and sometimes it will be very bad. , but we cannot be depressed, escape or feel depressed because of this.
There is no need to be filled with anger because we have been deceived by life. When times are bad, we should calm down and everything will pass. The real world may not be as everyone wants, but we must firmly believe that the future will get better. If you survive, you will win. After the storm, there will be a rainbow. When you look back on everything in the past, you will face it with a smile. .
So when people encounter difficulties and are frustrated in life, they should maintain an optimistic heart, learn to be open-minded, and face it positively and bravely. After the storm, they can appreciate the beauty of life.
