Wait till you wake up.

-Appreciation of Su Dongpo's Poem Ding Fengbo

Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, has two poems that he likes: Looking back at the bleak place, there is no rain or shine! This is the transcendental chic that he longed for all his life, and it is also his ideal pursuit of getting out of the mire without contaminating his spiritual realm.

It is said that it is difficult to be confused. Many things in the world should not be seen through, and many phenomena do not need to be dismantled. The so-called clear water means no fish, and people feel that there are no disciples. Analyzing Su Dongpo's way of doing things and his calm mentality of "rain or shine", there are at least a few points worth appreciating and imitating:

First, when you can't change your destiny, it's better to keep your inner "pure land". Everything in the world changes endlessly, and there is a destiny between heaven and earth. Everything has a cause and effect, and the development and change of things are regular and independent of human will. When you feel that you are behind the times, you should analyze the reasons for your failure in time, adjust your pace and choose the right direction. He who knows the times is a hero, and will not be hit by the severe reality like old Suman who drowned his sorrows in wine. But behind Mr. Su Dongpo, his merits are perfect and he is famous all over the world.

Second, dreams wake up in the morning, and they should be awake when they wake up. The ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny. There are many beautiful dreams in one's life. Some people pursue money and wealth and fantasize about getting rich by wearing gold and silver. Some want to be officials, step by step, cocky, crowding round; Others pursue beauty and enjoy the happiness of others; No matter whether you want to go down in history, you can pay tribute to your ancestors ... but when you wake up, the millet porridge cooked by your old mother in the ruined temple has not been cooked-a pillow from Conan, a strange dream! For the vast majority of people in this world, we still have to face reality, be down-to-earth and be a gentleman!

Third, keep your strength, and change with the same. Elephants are invisible. Despite the unpredictable situation, the guns on the Huang Yangjie roared, but I remained the same! For example, the game between world powers today is internal strength-strategic strength. Chairman Mao, the great man, put it well; Looking at Jinsong in the twilight, flying around is still very calm! People who have achieved great things in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, are informal. Don't confuse your eyes for the present. You can't regard a moment of loyalty as a heroic feat. You should be as still as water, knowing and doing as one. Of course, it is easier said than done, and it is not easy to reach this level. How many heroes and heroines on the historical stage fell on the steps before success!

Fourth, the winding water is smooth and natural. The Yangtze River flows eastward, and the trickle returns to the sea. It is said that the real meaning of China Wushu Tai Ji Chuan is to go with the trend and go all out. Dongpo lay man's "No Rain, No Sunny" used his bleak tragic fate to warn and comfort later generations. Don't force everything, the Tao is natural, and gold will always shine. Step on the call of the morning bell and the evening drum, and the holy lotus will bloom on your pious tapping road!

There is no winter that can't pass, and there is no spring that can't come. Wake up, rain or shine! Mr. Dongpo, a talented man, this is a kind word.
