From Hong Yingming's Caigen Tan in the Ming Dynasty.
Interpretation: I don't care about honor or disgrace, just enjoy the bloom flowers and plants in the courtyard leisurely; Whether it is rising or falling, you don't care, just watch the clouds roll freely in the sky.
Extended data:
Caigen Tan is a collection of quotations on self-cultivation, social life, socialization and fertility compiled by Taoist Hong Yingming in the early Ming Dynasty. It was a rare and precious training for the past. It has an incredible subtle influence on people's cultivation and moral cultivation. ?
Its text is concise and clear, and it adopts both refined and popular tastes. I like quotations, but I have fun that quotations don't have; Arrange in order, whoever seems to be an essay will have an essay that is not easy to achieve; It seems to be exhortation, but there is an awakening that exhortation lacks; And there is rain and mountains, the night is quiet and the bell rings, the words are clear and delicious, and the wind and moon are boundless.
Hong Yingming, Ming Cheng, was a Taoist at first. His residence, year of birth and death, and average life expectancy are unknown. He was a thinker and scholar of the Ming Dynasty, who lived in Ming Shenzong during the Wanli period. In addition to the famous Caigen Tan, he also compiled four volumes of fairy tales.
According to the Preface to Fairy Wonderland, he "yearned for flowers when he was young and lived in seclusion in his later years." (Interpretation: I was keen on official career and fame in my early years, and retired to the mountains in my later years to cultivate monks and seek immortality. ) Before and after thirty years of Wanli (1602), he once lived in Qinhuai River in Nanjing and devoted himself to writing.
