Lohan in Zhangzhou [1]
I am an idle guest in space and a wild monk in the crowd.
Let him laugh at me, and I'll be drunk everywhere.
Record of Deng Chuan in Jingdezhen 1 1 Volume 2007
New singing method in vernacular Chinese
I am an idle person in the universe.
In the crowd, he is a wandering monk.
If someone doesn't like me,
Then let him laugh at me!
I'm always at ease.
Analysis and appreciation
The mainstream and non-mainstream cultural trends of human beings are often different. The former is conservative and stable, but it may also become a stubborn force to suppress the truth. The latter's innovation and challenge to the old authority are the driving force for progress, and may also bring chaos. According to historical experience, the progress of human culture comes from the ups and downs of mainstream and non-mainstream culture. If we can be more tolerant of non-mainstream culture, the pain of progress can be reduced.
Thoreau once said:
If someone
Didn't keep pace with his companions.

He heard different drums.
Accepting people who disagree with us will give us a broader view of things.

Monet, the French impressionist master, exhibited his famous painting Picnic on the Grass for the first time in 1863, which was ridiculed and ridiculed by everyone. Some people even said that he "can't handle this pen carefully"!

In the field of spiritual practice, Lao Tzu once said: "Staff sergeant is diligent and knowledgeable; The sergeant heard that living is death; The corporal laughed, but it wasn't enough. "
How "it's impossible not to laugh"! Summer insects can't talk about ice. How can ordinary people understand the state of mind of saints?
People with foresight will take everyone's ridicule as a guarantee for the future.
