Life needs a sense of ceremony.

A fading sense of ritual

Chen baopu

Ritual sense seems to be often mentioned by people, but few people really explain what it is or the special meaning it contains. The sense of ceremony seems to be a vague feeling in everyone's heart, but it is difficult to see clearly. Perhaps in everyone's eyes, the meaning of ceremony is different, but they are interlinked.

In my eyes, the sense of ceremony is the medium to communicate between the ideal realm and the real world. The sense of ceremony makes the ideal dawn light up life and makes a peaceful heart look forward to the future.

I always like to go to the classroom before breakfast. In the empty classroom, the tables and chairs around are messy, but my heart is unusually calm. In this unsuspecting place, in this slightly dim space, put aside the posture in front of others and enjoy this exclusive quiet moment alone.

But now, more and more people don't even cherish this short silence and don't want to pursue it. They even regard the "sense of ritual" as a useless burden and just want to stay away from it. But in this empty society, only in this way with a little hope and real desire can we transcend the so-called rationality and bring a little hard-won emotion.

Perhaps it is the insurmountable deviation between reality and thinking that makes most people willing to be helpless, indulge in despair, bury their dreams of singing and forget their energetic self. However, some people still have discerning eyes. They have found a bridge between ideal and reality, and have unique tastes and thoughts on everyday life. And this gap between people is precisely this sense of ritual that is nowhere to be found or everywhere.

Ritual sense is a balance between sensibility and rationality. Whether it's free and easy when dealing with people, bold and unrestrained when standing shoulder to shoulder with mountains and rivers, or the pure truth of crying and laughing, people nowadays always admire every move of the ancients. I don't know if we can do it easily in life, because the sense of ritual is also a kind of letting go of prejudice against anything and returning to the original heart.

In the torrent of the times, the sense of ritual is disappearing, and in the face of the disappearing sense of ritual, we should stick to not rigid rules, but an attitude of loving life and a belief in ourselves.

Live a ritualistic life

In the afternoon, there are always few people passing by, only cars pass through the window in an instant. Clouds usually block sunlight and draw light and shadow alternately. A few scattered horns sounded in my ear, accompanied by the * * sound of rusty wheels. Perhaps only in this sunny afternoon, when everything slows down, can we find the ancient charm of sitting at the window reading and writing for a while.

The ancient people's sense of ceremony was not only in solemn ceremonies, but also in ordinary afternoons. Or stand at the window and recite poems, or look at the spring scenery in front of the mountains and rivers, or spread a blanket and dip it in thick ink to express your feelings. Isn't it beautiful? If you are as bohemian and carefree as Li Bai's generation, you can be simple and free, travel around, drink proudly and write poems at will, which is also very cheerful.

Dragon boat races for eating and Mid-Autumn Festival for enjoying the moon reunion. These ceremonies are not only the historical tradition of China, but also the epitome of the life interest of China people. Nowadays, we ignore too many rituals and stifle the diversity of life.

Under many urgent threats, such as "an inch of time and an inch of gold", we replaced the solemnity of calligraphy with the blessing of copying and pasting, but did not leave a little leisure to enjoy flowers and tea at the Flower Festival, arbitrarily deleted the rich and fulfilling ceremony, leaving nothing to be done.

In fact, the sense of ceremony is very small, so small that it is not as embarrassing and cumbersome as we thought. Liu Liangcheng thinks that lying in the field listening to insects is a sense of ritual. Xiao Hong believes that it is a sense of ceremony to look at the fiery red clouds from one side to the other. Leave an afternoon with beautiful images of flowers and fish, or read a good book quietly at the right time. Immerse yourself in a coherent text and let the author lead you into a story. This moment of life can bring unspeakable happiness and satisfaction.

In fact, the sense of ceremony is very easy, but what is difficult to cross is our increasingly anxious heart. Our life, in fact, a simple sense of ceremony is enough.

Bees on mango trees

Bao Zongchang

On a winter night, a cold wind blew through my hair. In a lonely and clean city, car bells and whispers are rarely heard. If you ask me what is the best thing to do at this time, I will tell you that it is to read a book with an instinctive taste for the true meaning. Now, I am sitting at my desk, lighting a lamp and reading a book called Miguel Street. Every article of it is unpretentious, but it tells a story full of true meaning in a gentle way.

What impressed me most was the poet in the book. Or to put it cruelly, he is a beggar living at the bottom of society. Before he arrived at the hero's home, he was not obsessed with material pursuit, just looking up at the bees on the mango tree and insisting on writing a poem every month, such as "The Stars are Deep Tonight". He doesn't have much expectation and desire, but a person who is judged by hunger and cold every day can keep indifferent to material and attach importance to spirit in repeated tests. I believe he wants to be a poet and make his life full of ritual.

In my opinion, the sense of ritual is the necessary soil for poets to enrich their hearts. Nowadays, the soil of ritual sense is getting poorer and poorer, and there are fewer and fewer poets. In this rapidly developing society, the sense of ritual and poetry of life has become useless and extravagant, and people seem to have forgotten the most important truth: we are here to live, not to survive. Ritual sense is the premise of life, perhaps it is not as huge and unaffordable as people reject. The sense of ceremony can be big or small. For a person who is far away from home, this is a sense of ceremony, and for those who live at home, it is also a sense of ceremony to feel happiness subtly.

So I think, no matter how big or small the sense of ceremony is, as long as it can make your life different and exquisite. Perhaps this is also the original intention of the sense of ceremony. Poets in Miguel Street regard observing bees and writing a poem every month as their sense of ritual. Reading in winter night, listening to the wind, drinking a mouthful of hot water and sometimes looking at the stars may be a sense of ceremony. In a complicated city, a simple and persistent sense of ceremony may be the joy of life.

The beauty of flowers

Moonlight is like water, silent in the quiet night, gently turn on the desk lamp, gently rub the pages, and savor the poems lying safely on the yellowed paper. Although sometimes I always find it difficult to understand its meaning, this kind of sitting and relaxing may be regarded as a minimalist sense of ceremony.

When I first saw the sense of ceremony, what flashed in my mind was that the national flag of Ran Ran was raised in the passionate national anthem. This was a grand opening ceremony held with the cheers of thousands of people, and everyone dressed up in a solemn atmosphere ... At this time, I couldn't help wondering if the sense of ceremony only existed in such a grand scene. But other than that, I really don't remember anything.

I had to open my poetry collection with sadness and look for the true meaning. Seeing Tao Yuanming's elegant taste of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely" and Ouyang Xiu's comfort of "the meaning of drunkenness is not in the wine, but in the mountains and rivers", I have a yearning in my heart. I thought, is this a sense of ceremony? What's the use of such a sense of ceremony? Why are only poets looking for it?

Occasionally, in my spare time, I opened a magazine and met a strange festival-"Flower Festival". This is the day when the ancients celebrated Hua Juhui, and there are various customs and rules. At first, I was greatly disdainful. "If it's just a grass and a flower, how is it worth wasting time?" . On the other hand, the mechanical life of modern people can't help but make people break out in a cold sweat.

What happened from people's interest in flowers and scenery in the past to indifference to the beauty of the world now? Because of the changes of the times, people are more and more addicted to secular disputes. They saved all the "trouble" and "uselessness" for the so-called simplicity and efficiency, but they also stifled the sense of ceremony and ended up like this.

Ritual sense is a kind of emotional appeal and a way of communication between mind and reality. It makes life no longer just material, but more emotional tone and self-awareness. It is essential, because the sense of ceremony is a barrier between life and existence. I hope this last feeling can be cherished and the beauty of life will bloom like a flower.

How many people live a ritualized life? Maybe very little, maybe not.

The sense of ceremony seems to be out of tune with daily life. Haizi once said, "The sense of ceremony does not necessarily bring expensive, but it can certainly make people noble." Just like the Flower Festival on February 12 of the lunar calendar, people agree that the dress for picking flowers should be dignified and elegant, not grand and gorgeous, which can not only express respect for the flower god, but also not take away the brilliance of the flowers. Every year, everyone abides by it. What a sense of ceremony. As written in The Little Prince, the sense of ceremony is actually around each of us, big or small, more or less.

The sense of ritual is the mental relaxation behind the burden of behavior. My mother is a practitioner of ritual sense. At home, whether in the living room or bedroom, put a bottle of flowers, often water them for new flowers, or cut off withered petals. I asked my mother why she was so tired every day. She replied: I feel good when I see these flowers every day. I think maybe these flowers have magical power, which can make mom feel comfortable and relaxed after a day's work. Maybe this is also a sense of ceremony!

But now people! Jane saved everything they thought was "complicated", but at the same time she lost the taste of life unconsciously. When everyone's essential mobile phone replaces the paper book with some ink in the yellow pages, people will pay less attention to knowledge. When instant messages replace affectionate handwritten letters, people are less sincere to their friends. The sense of ceremony that people lack now may be in the wave of more and more pursuit of convenience and simplicity, and no matter how to find it, it can't be found back.

So, please pick up life bit by bit in your life. In fact, even the smallest sense of ceremony contains the truest love. Posting for ten minutes every day, sometimes the expression of an article, can sow beautiful starlight for the heart!

It's just that we are simple and forget what we shouldn't forget. Now that I think about it, I am still willing to agree with my mother, because the sense of ceremony may be a kind of persistence, insisting on leaving a quiet place for myself in the miscellaneous things, insisting on sprinkling a little light in the gloomy night, and then merging into a bright galaxy.

Throughout the ages, "sense of ceremony" is like a boat, leading us to the other side of success and shining with the spring of life.

February 12th of the lunar calendar is a festival of the ancients-Flower Festival. This day is very important for everyone. Everyone is dressed up to attend, but they must not dress more brightly than flowers. On this day, everyone is so neat, exquisite, elegant and natural. I once heard a story: a woman holds a party every year at the Flower Festival to celebrate the beautiful and lush flowers of this year. However, one year, the flowers were unexpectedly in bud. But she still held a party and missed the beautiful scenery of the past.

It can be seen that the Flower Festival is not a bunch of meaningless ceremonies for the ancients, but a carrier with a sense of ceremony. Ritual sense is a way to make us love life, and it is also the source of our great strength. However, the sense of ceremony has been "transformed" at present and gradually ignored by modern people.

Perhaps the development of science and technology has led to today's randomness and perfunctory. On the previous New Year's Eve, the family got together and sat around the table. Or laughing, or sitting in front of the TV watching the Spring Festival Gala, or excited under the fireworks of the New Year. However, the taste of the year has been dispelled by the "mobile phone". Everyone is no longer everyone, but a puppet dominated by the screen, numbly grabbing red envelopes and playing games. The flavor of the year gradually disappeared in modern people, and the sense of ceremony once vanished.

What is the ceremony? Unforgettable and memorable. And the sense of ritual should be created with heart. Some blessings, reunion, culture, love and respect are not the epitome of rituals in life?

Life needs a sense of ceremony, which is serious, awe-inspiring and solemn, not deliberate, affectation, affectation and hypocrisy. The sense of ceremony makes people not live in the world, but bless the fun of blind life. Just like the ancient Flower Festival, we maintained respect for flowers and appreciation of beauty in the ceremony.

Let's live a life with a sense of sacredness and ceremony, and make life brilliant into a brilliant spring!

In the vast Xinghai, there are always several shining stars. Because of their existence, the whole Xinghai has become unique and charming. In our life, there are also amazing "stars". Only by grasping them and creating them can we paint our own starry sky.

February 12th of the lunar calendar is the Flower Festival. In ancient times, people visited relatives and friends on that day, and with full joy, they exchanged flowers with their lovers, friends and relatives. People who have the ability will also hold a flower show, and participants will wear elegant and clean clothes to appreciate the beauty of flowers. This festival is out of people's love and respect for flowers, and it also adds some gorgeous colors to the plain days.

Tomb-Sweeping Day went to visit the grave, climbed the mountain on the Double Ninth Festival, and got together with his family on the Mid-Autumn Festival. He did unique things at unique moments, enjoyed every minute and left good memories. This is the meaning of people's pursuit of ceremony. But now many people distort the sense of ceremony and pursue it excessively. For example, you can't afford huge expenses, but you still insist on holding a grand wedding because of the coercion of face. In fact, only the expensive gift of material body is not as good as a sincere hug and an irreplaceable heart.

The sense of ceremony does not need to be particularly grand. When you are doing your homework, the sun just shines into the room. You tidy up your desk, close the door, do your homework quietly, and enjoy the comfort of sliding your pen across the paper. This is also a sense of ritual. The poor man lives with the woman he loves. Every day, he will pick up the book of poetry that has been read thousands of times and read it to the woman affectionately. Women also look at men happily. These ritual feelings are trivial things in ordinary life, but they are all enriching their own lives with their hearts, and the ritual feeling is precisely to make life a life, not a survival.

When the sun rises in the morning, lie quietly in bed and listen to the birds singing; Take a leisurely walk towards sunset in the evening; Enjoy the bright moon alone in the moonlight at night. Pick up the bits and pieces of life, be worthy of life, be worthy of yourself, be worthy of the days when flowers bloom and fall, and the years are quiet.

A sense of ritual formed by the heart

Chang Liu

The sense of ceremony makes the beauty in our own hearts meaningful.

What kind of ceremony is the sense of ceremony derived from? If it's for some emotion, a heartfelt nostalgia, then you don't need to follow others at a certain time. Just like Tomb-Sweeping Day's grave. You can sweep when you miss your ancestors, but Tomb-Sweeping Day doesn't have to wait. For the sense of ceremony, the factors of festivals are not inevitable. Haizi, once a talented poet, had a beloved girl in college. After graduation, Haizi wrote a poem for her every day, which is also a ceremony.

After meeting a teacher, I was fascinated by poetry, and I was looking forward to writing such a beautiful poem as "Facing the sea, blooming in spring", and I also wanted to have such amazing literary talent as Haizi. I tried to write poetry. Poetry is always at sixes and sevens when you don't know anything. It is difficult for me to write a poem every day. Compromised by "limited intelligence", every poem I write has temporarily become a poem I read and taste every day.

I think I made the right choice for this ceremony. Fan said: "Poetry will evoke things that we have forgotten, the beautiful past covered by glitz and prosperity, and the elegant, secluded, simple and indifferent poetic life that we are not familiar with. Life is full of chaos and warmth. When chicken feathers in one place become the necessity of daily life, it is particularly precious to retain the initial yearning and poetic placement. " Poetry is always beautiful. People who love to read poetry never read poetry for elegance, but for that faint touch. Perhaps out of a sense of ritual, I always play some pure music when reading poems, so that the rich emotions in the poems can jump in the music and make the poems more artistic.

Ritual sense is a kind of "feeling". Is it necessary to use foreign objects to strengthen the ceremony? I don't think so. The beauty in the heart is the end point of the focus of the sense of ceremony.

Ma De said that acacia is "the candle went out, the lamp went out and the moon rose;" The moon is hidden; As the sun sets, the earth is dark and the heart is bright. "This sentence is not only used for lovesickness, but I think it is more suitable for the sense of ceremony.
