The era when the mood disappeared

author:SCHILLER

The content of modern life is getting richer and richer, but I feel that the mood of life is disappearing from our genes little by little.

I especially like to read Liang Shiqiu and Wang Zengqi's articles on eating, they are not writing about the taste of mountains and treasures, but it is strange that even if Liang Shiqiu wrote about the Yellow River carp or Wang Zengqi wrote about Gaoyou salted duck eggs, which are not unusual in ordinary life, you will still unconsciously swallow after reading their articles. Now, we can often see many self-proclaimed foodie friends in the circle of friends sunbathing in the south of the Sea and the north of the food photos, the intuitive stimulation of food pictures is indeed very tempting, but after watching more always feel tasteless, can not raise appetite. You can often see some food articles written by some food experts on the Internet, but some of them look like recipes, and some of them use what is sweet and soft in the mouth, and they are also not interested. To be honest, today's cuisine is certainly richer and more delicious than in the past, but why do our pictures and articles not have the same interest as before. The reason is that the food articles of the predecessors have created a very beautiful and comfortable atmosphere for you, so that you can immerse yourself in this mood, and the food will naturally taste delicious. And now, whether it is food pictures or articles, they pay too much attention to the food itself, too little to create the mood, no mood, over time, people will be those pictures and articles wooden.

Talking about drinking, the mood of drinking now is far worse than in the past. Ancient drinking orders, poems, inscriptions... The activities are varied. Li Bai drank wine and wrote hundreds of poems. Wang Bo drank wine, and Yixing Shufei wrote the "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion". Here is also a poem related to wine, Bai Juyi's "Ask Liu Nineteen" - green ant new wine, red clay small stove. Late to the day want snow, can drink a cup of nothing. On the evening when it was about to snow, stay in the house, where the wine was boiled in a red clay stove, leaning in front of the window to drink wine and watch the scenery. There is both a hint of warmth and a hint of loneliness. Look at this mood created by people's drinking, how wonderful, how leisurely, and now this is the typical petty bourgeois mood. In modern times, the mood of drinking has deteriorated, but it is still very flavorful. Three or five friends found a small restaurant, first set up tea, to the meal and then a few exquisite small dishes, a few people drank slightly drunk, and then chatted and played small mahjong. This little mood is also very fascinating. By now, drinking is no longer emotional. Most of the time, when people think of drinking, they think of one word - irrigation! You irrigate me, I irrigate you, pour one after another. If you drink too much, it is basically a lot of situations. Not only is there no mood to speak of, but it also makes many people smell the wine, which is a relaxing and pleasant thing.

Some people may ask - as long as life is really rich, what mood do you want, it is really pretentious. This kind of thinking is wrong, the mood is the catalyst for experiencing the beauty of life, and people with emotion can feel the beauty of life more truly. If life is compared to food, then the mood is the condiment, the food without the condiment will be tasteless, and the life without the mood will also be happy.
