Love doesn't last long, but it's humiliating to be rigid, modest and gentle as jade.

"Love doesn't last long, strength leads to humiliation, modesty leads to tenderness, and softness leads to jade". Such profound words are not from any ancient classics. I haven't read martial arts novels. It turns out that this is the lettering that Jin Yong gave to Chen Jialuo Peiyu in The Sword. It is these four sentences and sixteen words that express his special admiration in life. In that case, how to understand it depends on everyone's mentality!

"Love doesn't last long", and "longevity" means long. The meaning of "too deep feelings will not last long". It's about the truth that extremes meet. Too strong feelings won't last long.

The meaning of the word "strong is humiliating" should be the same as "the dead are easy to fold" "Humiliation" here means burial. Love is too deep to last long; If you are too tough, you will be humiliated. As the saying goes, "you can't be soft for long."

There seems to be a faint helplessness behind deep feelings. Imagine, people live all their lives, who doesn't want to pursue eternity? I just can't force it for too long, to say the least. Isn't this a roundabout tactic to get room to turn around? Who can say that this faint helplessness is not a wisdom of survival?

The source of "modest gentleman" is qian yao: "modest gentleman, modest self-grazing." Refers to people who are modest and strict with themselves.

"Wet as jade" has been a symbol of wealth since ancient times, just like gold. In ancient times, there was a saying that it was "moist as jade", which described its moist and smooth characteristics. Ancient gentlemen had to wear jade articles. It is an extraordinary temperament, a kind of indifferent realm.

Only when we really understand the world can we have such a detached attitude! Facing such a complicated society, there is really a feeling of returning to nature!
