Is Zuo's calligraphy useful?

For 5,000 years, China has been in the middle, and China has continued the cultural essence that belongs to us with its unique cultural charm. Living in such an environment, we are more or less lucky. Can we inherit the essence of these cultures and make use of them? This is indeed a great test. If we can make full use of it and apply it to our own lives, we can say that it is either rich or expensive. Today, let's take a look at how others used it to create our extraordinary life.

There is a garden in Wuxi, Jiangsu, called "Rongshi Meiyuan". It is true that he is an outstanding generation of China people, and the private gardens built by the Rong brothers took more than ten years. Nanmu Hall, the landmark building of this garden, is officially called Bindian. It has a pair of couplets hanging on both sides. This pair of couplets was written by Zuo in Qing Dynasty and inscribed by calligrapher Shen. You may be surprised. What kind of couplets are treated so highly? Let's take a look at this couplet. The first part: make a first-class wish, make a middle-class knot, and enjoy the next-class blessing. The second part: Choose a high place to stand, find a flat place to live and walk to a wide place.

Seeing this, I think everyone has a little understanding. The meaning of the first part is to warn us to have lofty ideals and lofty goals, and then work towards them. In this process, it may not be smooth sailing. After all, some things have nothing to do with themselves, so they should go with the flow and should not be forced. Only in this way can we enjoy a little happiness. The bottom line is that the pattern of doing things should be big, and one leaf can't block the eyes. We should take a long-term view and proceed from the overall situation. Only in this way, the road of life will be wider and wider, and road to riches will come uninvited. From here, we can see the golden mean of China's culture for thousands of years, telling us that only by following the golden mean can life be smooth sailing. Don't force fate, don't force fate, and don't touch things that don't belong to you. In fact, Zuo also took this opportunity to express his approval of thrift. Being rich and expensive is not rich. With thrift, you are truly rich.

Li Ka-shing came to the mainland by accident. At that time, he came across this couplet. At first, he was surprised and liked it. So he ran around and invited a painting to hang in his office. Since then, his career has undergone a qualitative change. Zuo made Li Ka-shing with these 24 words. Of course, we are not superstitious about the magical power of this couplet. On the contrary, if you understand the meaning and do that, those rich people will naturally know you. If you just hang a couplet there, your behavior basically has nothing to do with it, that is, others want to get these 24 words, and the result may not be like Li Ka-shing's, then this couplet becomes meaningless.

After thousands of years of cultural hardships and thousands of years of people's wisdom, what remains is not necessarily good, but after a long baptism, it is still recognized by people. It must be foolproof and unique. It is such a couplet, from the left to the Rong brothers, and then to Li Ka-shing. Why is it recognized by these unusual bosses? This is left's profound understanding of the golden mean. Li Ka-shing may not be as knowledgeable as Zuo, but he can find the hidden meaning and make use of it, and finally achieve his career.

There are many kinds of life, what the world looks like. Paying attention to it may not completely transform you, but if you ignore it, you may regret it for a lifetime.
