The test is in the stream, and the wisdom of a master is broad.
If you sleep alone and say nothing, you will never be silent.
The test is in Ah, the twig of a master.
Sleeping alone in the song will never pass.
Examination in mainland China is the key to mastery.
If I sleep alone and sleep alone, I will never tell you.
Built wooden houses in the mountains and streams, the wise people live in a vast world.
Sleeping alone, waking up alone, talking alone, always remember the happiness that cannot be conveyed in words.
A wooden house is built on the slope of the mountain, where wise people live like a comfortable nest.
Sleeping alone, waking up alone, singing alone, I will never leave this mountain.
Built wooden houses on the plateau, where wise men live alone.
Sleeping alone, waking up alone, and sleeping alone are indescribable pleasures.
This poem comes from "The Book of Songs·Weifeng". What does the title of the poem "Kaopan" mean? Some people say that it means lingering, which means living in seclusion from the world. There is also a saying that it refers to singing while holding the plate. For me, which statement to adopt is not the most important, because it has been more than a thousand years, and who can say it so clearly? In addition, I think the most important thing is to be able to appreciate the rhythmic beauty of the poetic language and the emotions conveyed in the poem.
In the chanting of repeated chapters, we can see the image of a hermit who is indifferent to fame and fortune. The hermit was alone in an inaccessible place, talking to himself, sleeping alone and waking up alone, enjoying himself and being happy. During the day, you can "freely fish on the blue stream" and linger among the mountains and rivers. At night, "fortunately, you can see the cool breeze and the bright moon, with the moss spreading and the clouds rising". Isn't it beautiful? Living in the mountains and wilderness, you may be lonely and unknown throughout your life, but you can stay away from the noise and disputes. There are gains and losses, it depends on how you choose.
For today's people, it is unlikely to live in seclusion like this. Even if it is possible, there are very few people who live in seclusion. Most of them are busy running around for firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. people, so we will have more cares, more desires, and more noise lingering in our ears.
Under such circumstances, if we can still be "cautious about being alone", if we can still be at ease in any situation, if we can still have a calm and indifferent state of mind in the complicated world, this will be extremely precious!
