Everyone who does not talk about human affairs is nothing on earth.

Someone once joked: "People who live in the world are' useless'."

There are thousands of people in Qian Qian, and there are thousands of things in Qian Qian.

Some people "care about everything in the world", some people "forget what's going on in the world first and strive for fame after death", and some people "see everything in the world and be neither rich nor poor" ......

However, no matter how many "ancient and modern" things are, in the end they are just "all in one joke."

Life is full of disappointment, so you might as well smile.

In fact, many seemingly troublesome things in life depend on your mood.

When the mood is simple, life is simple.

Learn to be a "carefree person" and you will find that the world is far better than we imagined.

Six clean roads are roads.

Backward is forward.

This poem comes from the Song of Transplanting Rice, written by a monk in the Five Dynasties.

The monk was born in a peasant family. Although he is short, he is strong and very good at transplanting rice seedlings.

One day, he was transplanting rice in the field. Inadvertently, he found that it was his own step-by-step retreat that made Miao Miao move forward step by step.

Then, he suddenly realized: "backward, it turned out to be forward!" "

Sometimes, retrogression is not self-indulgence, but moving in another direction.

Although Zhang Zhidong, a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty, was in a high position, he was ugly, thin and short. When he first took over as governor of Huguang, a local painter painted a watercolor painting of "Three Little Boys".

These three dwarfs are Zhang Zhidong and his two subordinates.

After the painting was completed, the painter hung it in his own exhibition to gather popularity. When other officials and people heard about it, they all rushed to see the exhibition and wanted to see Zhang Zhidong's Beauty.

This painting is full of humor, which makes Zhang Zhidong, who is not handsome, even uglier.

So slandering court officials, even subordinates can't stand it, demanding that the painter be arrested.

With Zhang Zhidong's power at that time, it was a piece of cake to catch a painter, but he chose to take a step back: this painting was actually bought by himself.

This move made the painter who despised him admire him, and from then on, he was respectful to him, and no more defamatory works came out.

Zhang Zhidong is so wise and impressive that he has resolved the slander of others by retreating.

But in the secular world, how many people really know the wisdom of "retreat"?

There is a saying in Caigen Tan:

It takes courage to go further and wisdom to take a step back.

Behind the road is the road. Taking a step back is not muddling along, but leaving more space for life.

The vast sea of people, ups and downs of personnel, to retreat for progress, is the road.

The wind sends the sound of water to the pillow.

The moon moved mountains and shadows to the window.

In the Song Dynasty, a monk came to Dalongshan and asked Master Hongji about Zen.

The monk asked, "What is a Buddha?" Master Hongji replied, "That is, you are."

The monk asked again, "What is subtle Zen?"

Master Hongji replied, "The wind sends the underwater acoustic pillow, and the moon moves the mountain to reflect the window."

The sound of water caressed the river again and again with the wind, and the mountain shadow was slowly pushed to the window by the moon.

This is the environment of practice and the state of mind of practice.

The altar sutra says:

Practice is to cultivate the mind. To cultivate your mind, you must meditate first. Peace of mind means leisure, and leisure means spirit, which is not disturbed by foreign objects.

Zeng Guofan was impatient when he was young. Every time he meets an emergency, he is like an ant on hot bricks.

In order to get rid of this problem, he once consulted Tang Jian, a famous official of Neo-Confucianism, and Tang Jian gave him a word-"Jing".

From then on, Zeng Guofan sat quietly for a while every day, thinking about what happened. Especially when I encounter important choices, I often sit in a quiet room, think twice before making a decision.

Sometimes in order to make the atmosphere more peaceful, he will light a incense to calm himself down. In this case, no matter how big the family is, it won't bother him.

Many of Zeng Guofan's experiences and methods in dealing with people, studying and going into politics were obtained in this "meditation".

Even he himself said:

Silence is silent, but it is extremely powerful.

The world is noisy and impetuous. If you want pure land, you can't be quiet.

Because a quiet life will not escape the troubles of the world, but will only enjoy the inner happiness.

In this way, I have nothing to do, just sit down and have a good time in a simple meal.

Come quietly, go quietly, just like running water, natural and pure.

Drink today, when you can ―― enjoy it.

Worried about tomorrow, tomorrow will worry again.

In the Tang Dynasty, when the imperial examination was prevalent, countless talented people dreamed of being the first in the imperial examination, but some people failed.

Luo Yin is one of them.

At the age of 27, he took the imperial examination and failed in Sun Shan for more than ten times in a row.

However, he is not worried about this. When other candidates were upset about the failure of the imperial examination, he had a drink and sang happily:

A person has a chance to sing, otherwise, it is stopped, and sadness and hatred are completely ignored.

If you get drunk today, you will worry about your troubles tomorrow.

Song and dance soothed Luo Yin's sadness, gave him the courage to overcome and fight again and again, and left the world with an attitude of eating, drinking and living in the present.

23-year-old Yuan Mei stood out in the imperial examination very early, became a scholar in high school, entered imperial academy and was appointed as Jishi Shu.

Young people stepped into the official career, and their achievements were abrupt, but when their official career was smooth, they resigned and returned to China on the grounds of "worrying about their mother."

Yuan Mei resigned because he saw many officials "just attending meetings, seeing off big officials and being slaves", which was completely different from his life of "having fun and enjoying the scenery, no matter how many stalks".

After resigning, Yuan Mei began to take care of his own Suiyuan, which was originally the garden of Cao Xueqin's grandfather Cao Yin, the predecessor of the Grand View Garden in A Dream of Red Mansions, and was renamed Suiyuan after being bought by Yuan Mei.

Suiyuan has since become the spiritual harbor of Yuan Mei.

Around 10, he spent almost all his savings to repair the garden.

But when the garden was completed, he decided to tear down the fence around the garden and hang a couplet at the gate:

Let the crane look for the mountain bird,

Let anyone see the flowers at four o'clock.

Besides, Yuan Mei has a soft spot for food. After the completion of Suiyuan, Wang Xiaoyu, a famous chef in Nanjing, volunteered to enter the park and became a private chef in Yuanmei.

Since then, the reputation of the garden has shaken the south of the Yangtze River. From dignitaries and poets to the middle class and ordinary people, all of them are complacent about "having tasted delicious food in the garden".

Yuan Mei's long-cherished wish was realized by his carefree life in the garden. He lives a life like a landscape painting every day;

Ouyang Xiu said: "Eat and drink, be young, and respect only when you look down."

Eating, drinking and having fun in time is not indulgence, but an attitude of living in the present, which is the minimum respect for the years.

If you eat, drink and be merry, you can't stay here.

The future is short, so why not seize the present and not waste this life?

Don't talk to everyone about human feelings.

There is nothing on the earth.

In the late Tang Dynasty, the soldiers were in chaos, and the poet Du Xunhe was born in poverty but cared for the people. But he was unable to change the chaos and had to live in Jiuhuashan for a long time.

Jiuhua Mountain is a famous Buddhist mountain. Deeply influenced by Buddhist thought, he often chats with monks about Zen.

These two poems are his feelings when he saw a monk meditating.

When he saw the monk meditating, he was lifeless, and he was not tired of foreign things at all. Now he is "nothing on earth" that is detached from things.

Many things in the world come from the mouth of the masses.

Sometimes, your complaining about life will only make you farther and farther away from this world.

After losing her son, Sister Xianglin in Lu Xun's novel said, "I'm so stupid, really …".

At first, everyone would comfort her, and then no one liked listening to her.

Those who say right and wrong must have right and wrong. Only by being indifferent can he not be disturbed by right and wrong.

Liu Yuxi, a great poet, was demoted for supporting "Yongzhen Innovation". He lived in Kuizhou, Sichuan for 23 years before he came to Anhui and Hezhou to be the secretariat.

"Bashan Chu water is desolate, and he gave up on himself for 23 years" is a true portrayal of his time.

I haven't changed much since I came to Anhui, and I am also a magistrate of a county. Although my official position is not as big as Liu Yuxi's, I have real power in my hand, and I am very rude to Liu Yuxi.

According to the law, the secretariat should live in yamen, but the magistrate of a county placed him in the south of the city. This place is remote and uninhabited, and there is only a river at the door.

Liu Yuxi was able to shrug off, looking at the boundless river, happily wrote two poems:

Facing the river and looking at the white sails,

I am arguing with Zeus.

The magistrate was very unhappy after hearing this, so he arranged Liu Yuxi from the south of the city to the north. This residence is even worse. Not only is the room small, but the original river has also become a river.

However, Liu Yuxi was still not angry. Looking at the spring scenery, he wrote:

Weeping willows by the green river,

People are in the sun and their hearts are in Beijing.

When the magistrate heard about it, he was furious and found a worse house for Liu Yuxi. This house is pitifully small, only a bed, a chair and a table can fit in it.

But there is still no waves in Liu Yuxi's heart, just quietly wrote:

When the pen stopped writing, The Humble Room Inscription was completed. Liu Yuxi had this article engraved on a stone tablet and stood in front of the door to express his inner indifference.

Wang Zengqi wrote in "Human Vegetation":

A person's calmness and open-mindedness are often reflected in the most depressed time. A calm and open-minded person sees everything most thoroughly, least and least.

Life is only a hundred years. It is better to be open-minded and relaxed for more than a year than to live unhappily.

From then on, the full moon is poetry, and the lack of the moon is wine; Looking up is spring, looking down is autumn. Isn't it soon?

Life is like a flying ship. When we set out, Jianghai was the rest of our lives.

We are often confined to trivial matters, thus losing the breadth we should have.

In life, when we encounter difficult things, it is better to stop or take a step back and think about it. Maybe you will find that "there is no doubt about going back, and there is another village."

At work, when too much pressure comes, don't be impetuous and anxious, but learn to calm your heart. As the saying goes, if you are calm, everything will be complacent. Only by sorting out your mood can you get a better start.

In the process of communication with family and friends, don't care too much about gains and losses, be more understanding and tolerant, and be less complaining and complaining, and everything will prosper with moderation.

As the ancients said, "If you are less than a hundred years old, you should always worry about whether you are a thousand years old."

If you want to get rid of this shackles, you must understand:

Retreat for progress, there is no ancient and modern meditation.

Eat, drink and be merry, doing nothing.

In the process of surfing, I don't like it or fear it.

That's good.
