King, hand and foot calluses; King Wen eats it, and he gives it every day. There are many suburban bases now, so you have to think for yourself. It is not appropriate to talk about abolishing government, nor is it suitable for today. [3]
It can be seen from here that he should have such positive ideas and beliefs to save the world! Therefore, when he was an official, he really worked hard on practical issues such as the national economy and people's livelihood-and such practical issues are precisely the relationship between Confucianism and society. [4]
Therefore, in this fanatical metaphysical atmosphere, he is a rare and very calm person, with a clear mind and a dull spirit forever.
Xihe is a quiet thinker, thinking about reason, personality and order. Therefore, even if the West finally had to rely on the unique high-spirited world of this era, it never failed to reflect the wisdom of Mencius: "If you are rich, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be immune to it." Although his free and easy attitude towards life can't get rid of the unique melancholy and lamentation that pervades this era, he indulges in life, yearns for freedom, reverberates with beauty and seeks rest in the afterlife, but he is by no means the sad atmosphere of people at that time, because they yearn for another world other than the one they can't find. Therefore, only decadent feelings and ambitions will continue; However, the right army is still pursuing in this world, because he has worked hard and firmly adhered to this world, and the strongest anxiety and melancholy thoughts between them, as well as elegant thoughts, have troubled him almost all his life.
Confucius said, "Tao cannot be done, but floats on the sea with a fork." [5] From this point of view, after the enthusiasm for the country, the society and the people was finally empty, it suddenly retired, as if catching the last ray of sunset light when the night was coming, swimming in the famous mountains and swimming in the sea. He wished Xie An this:
I was in Sang Yu in 2000, so naturally, I was constantly afraid of children's feelings because of the writing of silk, bamboo and pottery, which ruined the fun.
In addition, he also wants to say:
I should be so happy!
This kind of temper and appreciation of nature is not necessarily the distant sound of Confucius' exclamation that "I am a little bit". !
"What you are tired of is that feelings are advancing with the times and feelings are related." When he is engaged in the deepest meditation of life, his thoughts-melancholy poems are the things that can best be reconciled with philosophy-sadness, which makes people meditate and understand human existence and transcendence, arouses a person's rationality, approaches the question of essence, pursues the true meaning of existence and touches the concept of eternity. Therefore, his famous preface to Lanting reconciles the most contradictory and complicated things: free and easy, persistent; Warm comfort, sadness; Kindness and indifference; Happy, melancholy ... so his enthusiasm for saving the world and philosophical thinking on life formed his profound thoughts, lofty spirit and rich and detached temperament. On the one hand, he has real social consciousness, on the other hand, he understands the mystery of metaphysics in Laozi and Zhuangzi, and discusses the nobles at the time of heaven and man with his true temperament and intelligent mind! Therefore, the personality of the right army is mainly based on the Confucian view of personality, plus the ideal of personality beauty in the form of Taoism or "on the world" Although the two are different, the spirit of mutual assistance is wonderfully integrated into Xihe-at this point, I think his spirit seems to contain Qu Yuan's tradition. This is also an indispensable yeast in his artistic conception of calligraphy.
If it works, adopt it!
