Therefore, life and art are an integral part of Song rhyme culture. Song people's aesthetic life and artistic elegance really gave Song Yun a unique temperament.
However, if we need to understand the spiritual characteristics of an era and systematically refine its excellent cultural elements, we must have a more comprehensive and profound understanding of Song Yun culture. We can't just understand the word "rhyme" in a narrow sense, and we can't help but distinguish it from the two Song Wenhua, which are all-encompassing and coexist with good and bad, and equate it indiscriminately. To understand Song Yun culture, we need to adhere to a realistic, rational and objective attitude, see the essence through phenomena, accurately grasp the historical "chassis" of an era, and improve the tone and quality of Song Yun culture.
For example, regarding the elegance of the Song Dynasty, there is an article that regards incense, tea, paintings and flowers as the essence of life in the Song Dynasty, which is very appreciated, based on the record of "burning incense and ordering tea, hanging pictures and arranging flowers, and doing four things that should not be tiring at home". However, in the Song Dynasty, in addition to elegance, there were various drawbacks. For example, the circulation of spices does not produce value. By buying and banning spices, the imperial court raised the price of domestic spices and profited from it, in fact, it plundered the national wealth in disguise. The luxury consumption of spices stimulates the economy, but the luxury of life destroys the healthy development of the economy; It is a waste of national strength to buy a large number of spices as luxury goods with the wealth earned from exporting silk and porcelain.
