Mr. Artist, a great hero of a generation, is determined to be noble and has written a lot. He used to entertain himself by collecting Small Windows. Gather the secrets of heaven and earth, take the essence of classics and history, and speak with smoke clouds and harmonious stones. Wake up and hold the world tight without saying a word. Swing with the wind and win a seat for discussion; Clever words often attract some flowers. The so-called dignified and miscellaneous, elegant and gentle, beautiful and perfect, unprepared, is it really my husband's improper use of words, just to cover up the use of information?
-(Qing) Chen Benjing
Among the strange people who rose in the late Ming Dynasty, whether they lived in the forest pavilion by shooting the truth, refused to speak out and gave their lives overseas, or lived in seclusion in the valley, they all paid great attention to the meaning of life, and there were many people who devoted themselves to self-cultivation. Chen Jiru, a famous writer, was one of them.
Chen Jiru is not only a famous writer in Ming Dynasty, but also a famous painter and calligrapher. He is good at writing poems, especially long poems. He can also draw and write. A number of works, such as Taiping Flower Green, An De Lao Ren Yan, Mo Shiyu, Diary of a Madman, etc. , spread all over the world, and "Breaking into You Ji" was especially loved by people at that time, and the aphorisms chosen were full of fun. Or implicit, making people have a long aftertaste; Or full of interest, read with relish, in short, flashing the spark of wisdom.
With the rapid development of society, people's personnel environment and material environment are also changing rapidly. In the face of this complicated and changeable environment, we can't help sighing. It is not only difficult to do things now, but also more difficult to be a man. The way of life is the way of being a man. Today, if we want to stand on the society, we should start with how to be a man. Only by knowing how to be a man can we live in harmony with others and treat others reasonably. This is indeed a profound knowledge, which is worth our lifelong study. On the question of how to survive in the world, Chen Jiru's The Story of the Small Window points out a bright road for us. He summed up the four methods of "Ning is the first method of doing things, modesty is the first method of keeping in good health, tolerance is the first method of treating others, and self-cultivation is the first method", which advised people to be open-minded and peaceful, and had a far-reaching impact on future generations.
The exquisite language and spiritual interest in The Story of the Small Window are amazing, especially the wisdom of thinking about life and dealing with the world, which has benefited the world endlessly. If modern people want to find their true self, get rid of their inner grievances and get rid of the noise and troubles of the world, they may as well open the book The Story of a Small Window and naturally find a quiet, indifferent and free and easy place.
