Life can be said to be long or short.
Zhuangzi said that in life, the gap between heaven and earth is like the passing of a white horse, just suddenly. Qu Yuan said, the road is long and long, I will search up and down.
Long and short are relative. But no matter how long or short, whether it is Zhuangzi or Qu Yuan, they are just to express the views they want to express later, and time will not become longer or shorter because of personal understanding.
In our lives, happy days are always short, while difficult days always seem so long. How to slow down the fast passing days, or make the difficult days easier, there is a secret, that is to let your heart find a place to rest, where you can not only retain time, but also relieve people from pain. Liberation is an everlasting panacea.
Many people find it difficult to feel like you belong and find your own excitement, but it is not. Because this excitement point has no distinction between high and low, no distinction between good and bad, it belongs to oneself and not to others. As the saying goes, "A person knows whether he is warm or cold when drinking water." As long as it can please yourself, it does not matter what others think.
For example, many people find calligraphy and painting out of reach. In fact, as long as you like it, you can put away the pens, inks, papers and inkstones, find a copybook or picture album that you like, and first "follow the gourd and draw the dipper". When you gradually become familiar with it and have strong control ability, you can then put aside the template and gradually accumulate Experience and find your own way of expression. In ancient times, because most of the good works were hidden in the hands of royal nobles, it was difficult for ordinary people to see them. It was very difficult to learn and copy the excellent works of the ancients. So we see that many calligraphy and paintings in ancient times were produced by relatives of the emperor. For example, Wang Xizhi, the "Sage of Calligraphy" in the Jin Dynasty, whose Wang family was a prominent family at that time, and there was a saying that "the king and his horse rule the world". The poet Liu Yuxi of the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem, "In the old days, the swallows in front of Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people." The "king" in "" refers to the Wang family of Langya; Emperor Huizong of the Southern Song Dynasty Zhao Ji was a leader in the calligraphy and painting world at that time. He created his own calligraphy "thin gold style", and his flower and bird paintings became "courtyard style"; famous calligraphy and painting in the Yuan Dynasty Zhao Mengfu, the eleventh grandson of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, had great achievements in calligraphy and painting. His paintings were known as the "Crown of the Yuan Dynasty" and his calligraphy was called "Zhao Style". Together with Ouyang Xun, Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan, he was also known as the "Four Masters of Regular Script". . There are many such examples. The reason why they achieved these achievements has a lot to do with the environment in which they live and the conditions they can achieve. Nowadays, the printing industry is developed, and you can see the calligraphy and painting works of famous artists in the past. Some of them have demonstrations or demonstrations on the Internet. If you have the conditions, you can also go to museums in various places to see the actual works. For a calligraphy and painting lover, it is really great. So convenient.
Another example is collection. If you have strong capital and are not short of money, you can build a comprehensive collection of bronzes, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, jade, furniture, and other large collections. If you don’t have such good conditions, you can prefer one type or create some niche collections. I have a friend who has hundreds of bells in his collection. Some people say, what are the bells worth collecting? In fact, no matter what the collection is, you don’t understand the situation before you go in. Only when you actually go in do you realize that there is a unique world inside. If you think about it, take bells as an example. According to regions, they can be divided into domestic and foreign countries. From the perspective of the Chinese cultural circle, foreign countries include Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, etc., and domestically, there are Southeast, Southwest, Northwest, Northeast, Central Plains, etc. In this way, you can understand the customs and customs of different regions; by ethnicity, there are 56 ethnic groups in my country, each with distinctive characteristics; by function, camel bells can remind you of the long sky in the desert, camel bells are bursting, and wind chimes can remind you of towers and temples. , the degree of spring breeze, the geometry of Spring and Autumn; by material, copper, iron, porcelain, etc., you can understand the handicraft industry at that time; by age, from prehistory to the Qin and Han Dynasties, to the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties, you can see small bells development context. Through summarizing and summarizing these differences, we can discover a lot of knowledge points, which is also very interesting to study. Therefore, although it is a small niche and looks inconspicuous, it is still a meaningful thing if you really get into it.
Just like Mr. Laoshu said, "It's getting late, so take your wife to bed; screw your mother for all the trouble in the world."
Make everyone smile.
