Excerpts from "Teacher's Diary" by Feng Zikai

July 25, sunny

1. Painting must start with sketching. Characters are the best materials for sketching. Look at the general pose of the character and delete the details.

2. Sitting on the back of the driver’s chair, my body bent into an S shape. At 3:30, my body returned from S to I.

3. There is a leak in the cowshed (that is, my study). I plan to ask workers to repair the leak in the cowshed and level the cowshed area for Xinmei to live in. If he eats milk and lives in a cowshed, he will be as strong as an ox in the future and can break up the enemy's formation and regain lost ground. At least I can farm and save the hungry people in the world. It doesn't matter if he is as stupid as an ox. The reason why China is what it is today is because people are too smart and refuse to use stupid skills!

4. The way to know everything is to train your eyes and hands.

5. Eating silently makes you feel full easily. I just ate a bowl and a half.

6. No one sees me, and there is no fight with each other. The great mind that unites all things.

7. It has been rainy for days, but it suddenly cleared up today. This portends a bright future for you. May you strive to love yourself.

8. I haven’t been a teacher for ten years and I don’t know how to deal with students. I treat students as friends or children at home. If I want to teach a skill in a short period of time, it is obviously very difficult to succeed.

9. How vast are the weeds, but the poplars are also fluttering. In the middle of September, the frost sent me out to the outer suburbs...

10. In previous years, I took a flat road, but this year the road I took was very bumpy. Standing in the rugged ravine and looking back at the broad road in the past, I felt that it was too flat and turned into ordinary. The so-called "there is no way out in the mountains and rivers, but there is another village with bright willows and flowers", which is very appropriate to describe my life in one year. Life in the past was like a prairie, with a long road and few changes. At most, it was just a few turns, a few ditches, or a few bridges. This year's rough road has gained me a lot of experience and given me a lot of exercise. However, I am by no means praising the rough road over the broad road. Who doesn't want to walk slowly on the broad road? But walking on a rough road also has its rewards for hard work. It is not entirely unfortunate, especially if you are afraid of the road and complain about it.

11. Any invasion by force will not last long.

12. Articles use words, comics use images.

13. You will not get sick wherever there is no medicine; you will not get sick if you have important responsibilities.

14. Occasionally throw out good fruit seeds, and you will be happy to see green buds.

15. It rains in the morning and is partly sunny during the day.

16. When I am idle, I “just watch the sun rise and go down” every day.

17. I still haven’t woken up when the guests leave at dusk. At dusk, the shadows are slanting as the spring society disperses, and every family supports people to return intoxicated.

18. The frost and the scorching sun have all passed by, and the spring breeze has come to the thatched cottage one after another.

19. Beauty is not formal, it must be consistent with truth and goodness. As for the method of studying, I think one must have a sharp eye and quick hands. A person with quick hands is also called a person who uses nimble skills to do practical research on various subjects. Therefore, sharp eyesight is the mother of revolutionary spirit, and quick hands are the source of true talent and learning. Life begins at forty. The beginning of my real life.

20. Spring arrives first at the savage’s house.

21. The thunderstorm has lasted for more than two months. It has cleared up a little recently. When I walked outside, I saw green mountains and lush trees. Although there are no goose-yellow willows, they still have a spring color of their own.

22. The content of the slogan should not be vague, and the form should avoid long or incorrect sentences. The three elements must be practical, concise and smooth.

23. If you don’t do useless things, how can you send someone who has a long life?

24. Qingshan doesn’t know my surname, and I don’t know Qingshan’s name. The flying birds seem to know each other, and they call me towards the mountain.

25. Yangshuo has the most beautiful scenery than Guilin. We met in the sunset today, and it was indeed exquisite. The county town is surrounded by the Canine Tooth Mountains. There are trees, houses and pavilions in the mountains. Refreshing your mind and looking down at Taixu, it looks like a rockery bonsai sold in the Shanghai City God Temple.

26. A young child does not recognize his father. Sitting silently in the bamboo carriage, when he saw me entering the door, he stared at me and did not turn his eyes away for a long time.

27. Today’s children have grown up, and half of the relatives and friends of yesteryear have died.

28. When I look at his appearance, I am amazed at the passing of his years, and sigh at the rapidity of impermanence.

29 Music has the greatest affinity and is best at controlling the emotions of the masses and uniting the national spirit. During the Anti-Japanese War and the founding of the country, this should not be ignored. Because this class is similar to physical education, it must be practiced in a group and is not suitable for individual self-study.

30. The attitude of mathematicians is mostly straightforward and cheerful, so they don’t feel unfamiliar. Although our friendship with each other is shallow, we might as well speak directly or argue as long as the reason lies. This is the advantage of such people. Literary and artistic people often have tortuous speech, reserved attitudes, or nervousness, searching for what is said between words and observing what is done outside the lines. If this is the first time, it is difficult to describe it smoothly. Eating at the same table with him is indescribable.

31. The child eats on the side of the mourner and is not full.

32. Half a piece of scholarly favor paper.

33. Farewell to your first marriage, and your children suddenly come together. .

34. I can only do my job respectfully and fulfill my responsibilities, regardless of whether I listen or not.

35. Summer vacation has begun. After only one morning, I felt that life was long and sloppy, and it was better to be disciplined than in class. This mentality may not be unique to me, but is a human weakness.
