Don't be happy with things, don't be sad for yourself, this is what I said to a saint like Fan Zhongyan. If my generation demands itself by this standard, it can be said that it is asking for it, because it is impossible.
When Li Bai said, "Oh, let a man with spirit take risks where he likes", he was more like an ordinary person. So, "Oh, let a man with spirit take risks where he likes", what should we do when life is frustrated?
Enjoy the poetry of "frustration". Actually, this is very clear. When you are frustrated in life, don't drown your sorrows in wine. Still an old saying goes, "Draw a knife and cut off the water, and the water will flow forever. It is even more worrying to drown your sorrows by drinking." Yes, alcohol can only make you escape from reality temporarily. When I wake up, the problem is still there. If you don't make up your mind to move it and cross it, it will always be in front of you and stop you.
Think of the successful celebrities in the world, who have never experienced the torment of the darkest hour. There are countless such examples, not to mention that we are all ordinary people. After the baptism of phoenix nirvana, people will be humiliated, and the clouds in their hearts will become light and light like passing clouds.
Because of many things in the past, I feel that the sky is falling. In retrospect, I can only sigh that I was so ignorant and stupid at that time. In fact, the key to many failures is our lack of knowledge or experience.
Then get up and stay green, not afraid of burning without firewood. As long as you are unwilling to fail, there will always be success. Because life is always unhappy, we should always "stay drunk" when we "have fun".
One difference between these two types of people is that they are frustrated in life, care about mountains and rivers, live in seclusion or drift, and have different mentality. If Tao Yuanming hadn't stooped for the sake of fighting for rice, he would have lived in seclusion and created immortal masterpieces such as Drinking, Returning to the Garden, and Returning to the Garden for Xi Ci.
Wang Wei, who was careless about his career and devoted to Buddhism in his later years, was one of the representatives of pastoral poetry in Tang Dynasty, and was also called "Wang Meng" with Meng Haoran. These two people live in seclusion and have a good time. The loyal minister abandoned his son Qu Yuan and wandered along the bank of the Miluo River, writing Li Sao: "Innocent people, with the sincerity of death, are the sincerity of former saints." I tried my best to clear my grievances, but I couldn't get past this hurdle and died in the stomach of a river fish. It's so sad.
Yang Shen, a great talent and top scholar in the Ming Dynasty, went to Jiangling, Hubei Province when he was extremely frustrated. He saw a fisherman and a Chai Fu cooking fish and drinking by the river, laughing and laughing, and was very emotional, thus writing a poem that has been told through the ages: "The Yangtze River is rolling eastward, and the waves are scouring the heroes. Whether it is right and wrong or failure, it is empty now and has disappeared with the passage of time.
Castle Peak still exists, the sun still rises and the sunset still sets. The white-haired hermit by the river has long been used to the changes of time. I met an old friend and had a drink. How many things in the past and how many times have been put into the conversation. "This is a poem written at the most frustrating time in life, but it expresses the most indifferent and detached mind, which makes people sad to read. The second is to concentrate on learning and eventually become everyone.
For example, under the torture of castration, Sima Qian, the author of Historical Records, finally wrote China's first biography, Historical Records, which was hailed as a poem without rhyme and a swan song of historians. Wang Yangming, a famous thinker, philosopher, calligrapher, strategist and educator in Ming Dynasty, was demoted to Longchang, Guizhou, where he served as a post office.
Longchang was still an uncivilized area at that time. He was not discouraged. He taught the local people according to the custom and was loved by the people. In the dragon field, I realized the Tao and finally became a master of psychology.
This is a poem that many people copied in their notebooks. The poet was in adversity at that time, but he still insisted on a positive, optimistic and strong attitude towards life. A very ordinary poem has aroused people's attention.
"If life deceives you," the poet asked people at the beginning. Yes, when a person's life has no trough, life is not smooth sailing, sometimes it will be very bad, but we can't be depressed, escape or depressed because of it.
There is no need to be angry at being cheated by life. Calm down when it's bad, and everything will pass. The real world may not be what everyone wants, but we must firmly believe that the future will be better. If you survive, you win. When you look back on the past, you will smile.
Therefore, when people encounter difficulties and setbacks in life, they should keep an optimistic heart, learn to be open-minded, and face them bravely and positively. After the storm, they can better appreciate the beauty of life.
