Stealing half a day's leisure in a floating life, the most delicious thing in the world is happiness. It means that it is rare to get a moment of leisure in this troubled world. The poem is detailed as follows:
1. Tang Dynasty Introduction to Li She's "Inscribed on the Monk's House in Helin Temple":
1. In a state of drunkenness and dreaming all day long, I suddenly heard that spring was coming and I was climbing a mountain. Because I met a monk while passing the bamboo courtyard and talked to him, I had another half day to relax. I had been feeling groggy all day, as if in a dream, and suddenly realized that spring was about to pass, so I mustered up my energy to climb the mountain to enjoy the scenery. Passing by a temple full of bamboos, I chatted with a monk for a long time. It was a rare moment of leisure in this turbulent world.
2. This poem was written on the wall of Helin Temple in Zhenjiang. After listening to the old monk's lesson, the author understood the concept of treating life, and understood that only by downplaying the utilitarian aspects of life, calming down emotionally and mentally, turning a blind eye to the bleak reality, and being calm about changes, can he forget the past, smile at life, and look forward to the future.
2. The creative background of Li She's "Inscribed on the Monk's House of Helin Temple" in the Tang Dynasty:
1. The poet Li She was demoted to join the army as Shaanxi Sichuan Sicang during the reign of Emperor Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty. He was called a doctor of Taixue, and was later exiled to the south. During his exile, in the words of his poem, he was "drunk and dreaming all day long" and his mood was extremely depressed.
2. However, during the chat with the eminent monks of Helin Temple in "Suddenly I heard the spring, I climbed the mountain", I unintentionally untied the knot of depression, resolved the worries of being addicted to the world, and experienced the experience of facing the world head-on. Reality and the relaxed feeling of life were able to add a little happiness to my long-numbed mind, so I happily wrote this poem on the wall of the temple to express my inner feeling of "having half a day's leisure again."
