What do you mean, "others laugh at me for being crazy, but I laugh at others for not being able to see through"? Where is the source?

It means: others laugh at me for being crazy, but I laugh at others for not being able to see through the world.

Origin: Song of Peach Blossom Temple is a seven-character ancient poem by Tang Yin, a painter, writer and poet in Ming Dynasty.

Excerpt from the original:

I hope I die of old age. I don't want to bow my head in front of horses and chariots.

If you are rich, you will become a hermit.

If the revealer is compared to a hermit, one is underground and the other is in heaven.

If we compare Hua San to horses and chariots, I will have no leisure.

I just want to die of old age in the peach blossom wine room, and I don't want to bow before the horses and chariots of dignitaries. Flow is the interest of nobles, and wine glasses and flowers are the fate and hobbies of poor people like me.

If you compare the wealth of others with my poverty, one is in the sky and the other is in the ground. If I compare my poverty to the horses and chariots of the powerful, they work for the powerful, but I get the pleasure of leisure.

Extended data

In the second year of Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty, Tang Bohu and his friend Zhang Ling built a villa in Taohuawu, Suzhou, called Taohuaan (later renamed Zhongtian), and lived with his second wife, Shen nine niang.

He used the money from selling paintings to build Liuru Pavilion and Mengmo Pavilion in the villa, and planted peach trees in the garden. Every spring, peach blossoms are in full bloom, which looks like a red cloud from a distance and is beautiful. At this time, Tang Bohu lived in seclusion and experienced many pains in his life, such as the death of his parents, the death of his wife and sister, cheating in scientific research and imprisonment.

I was deeply impressed by the words "like a dream, like electricity" in the Diamond Sutra, which coincided with my own experience, so I named myself "Six Ruju" and wrote this song "Peach Blossom Temple Song".

In Tang Bohu's view, his present life is the life of the Peach Blossom Fairy. He planted peach trees everywhere, sold flowers for wine, drank wine to sleep, and lived a dissolute life. This kind of life, though poor, is unrestrained, and you don't have to compromise yourself to please the powerful, let alone live like a slave for money.

He believes that only those who are not tired of fame and fortune can enjoy the company of peach blossoms and wine every day. This is a fairy-like day, not driven by others, carefree. But most people in the world don't understand this truth. They still laugh at Tang Bohu as a crazy freak.

Facts have proved that those heroes in history, even if their status was high during their lifetime and their achievements were comparable to those of the sun and the moon, will still turn into a pile of loess after their death and prove their existence by a tombstone. Now many graves have been plowed into farmland by later generations, and finally there is nothing.

In this song, Peach Blossom helps Tang Bohu create a paradise without competition. He can linger on wine, forget worldly disputes and troubles, and not be ashamed of worldly wealth and fame. He also told us that everything in the world that is painstakingly pursued will eventually disappear with the passage of time.
