"The human taste is pure happiness." This philosophical poem is the "poetic eye" of the whole poem, giving people endless thinking and pondering. What is "Qing Huan"? Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, away from the struggle of officialdom, forget the desire for fame and fortune, walk into the mountains and feel the simple life of farmers. This is "Qing Huan". "Qing Huan" people, light happiness, not big, carnival, not greedy. There is no denying that Su Shi's theory of "Qing Huan" has certain limitations, which implies a negative thought of retiring after a sinister career and a broad-minded attitude towards life.
However, Su Shi's theory of "Qing Huan" still gives us some useful enlightenment. In today's society, there are few "happy" times. Don't say that the official welcome and business contact transactions are mostly completed in the "carnival" of feasting; It is the wedding celebration of ordinary people, the gathering of relatives and friends, which does not pursue fashion and pay attention to lively ostentation and extravagance? Even primary and secondary school students are hiding in the game room to have a "party" on holidays. It seems that without great joy and carnival, people's feelings and worldly wisdom have been weakened and can't keep up with the trend! What's more, some people lost their way in this "carnival" of pursuing secularism: corrupt officials who swallowed whales fell down in the carnival, unscrupulous profiteers were arrested in the carnival, nouveau riche who were addicted to money went bankrupt in the carnival, and people who were greedy for pleasure were jailed in the carnival. ...
"Qing Huan" has a taste. Of course, when we appreciate Qing Huan today, we don't have to stay away from the city and walk into the mountains to refuse to eat fireworks. Instead, we should face social life, do less hype and do more practical things; Less hypocritical smiling faces, more calm sincerity. When you are proud, you don't "try your best". Thinking that success is only the beginning of a new round; Feeling frustrated when frustrated is also a great wealth. Progress can be honest and self-disciplined, and contentment is always happy; If you retire, you can't forget to care about your country and have fun with the people. Even Su Shi, the advocate of "Qing Huan", could not have completely walked into the mountains and forgotten the world in that year. Although he suffered a blow and was excluded, he still benefited one party as an official: as the governor of Xuzhou, the Yellow River lacked dikes, and he took the lead in fighting floods with the people; As the satrap of Hangzhou, he led the people to dredge the West Lake and build dikes to prevent floods. In his later years, he was demoted to a wild country and still spread advanced farming techniques and culture to Li compatriots for the benefit of the people. "Qing Huan" is indeed a supreme spiritual realm.
