Monogatari:
Take your time, but also a kind of sincerity.

I'm afraid of those who slow down.
Many people like Mu Xin's poem "Once Upon a Time Slow":
"The old days became slower
Cars, horses, mail are all slow
Only enough to love one person in a lifetime."
However, in reality, it often can't be slowed down. Want to go to the countryside for a slow day, but can't wait five minutes for a taxi in the city center. I want to live a life calmly, but I am always chased by the deadline. Plants were planted on the balcony and hoped to blossom and bear fruit in a few days.
Our lives seem to be caught up in a state of rapid illness, and we can't say what the contest is for, and we dare not relax, and we suffer from gains and losses.
Therefore, I am afraid of those who slow down, afraid that they dare to be slow, can be slow, know how to be slow.
They dare to choose the life they yearn for
I'm afraid of people who slow down, afraid that they treat life with light in their eyes and numbers in their hearts.
Zhang Erdong, a man who lives on zhongnan Mountain. After graduating from college, he went to live in the mountains, eating, sleeping, writing, painting, raising dogs, growing vegetables, or doing nothing, just basking in the sun in the yard, and spending almost nine years slowly.
For many people, in the stage of their twenties to their thirties, promotion, buying a house, getting married, having children, etc. are the necessary topics, if not, it seems that life is not complete and successful.

For Erdong, these are not troubles. As he said in an article: "I have seen interviews with many smart people and found that they are very entangled, everyone knows very well what the conclusion is, but it is impossible, I can't do it, I don't want any live broadcast, cargo and work, I want to take a nap, roast the fire, bask in the sun, be real, clear and stable." ”
Because I know what I want and what I don't want, even if that is the success criterion recognized by society, but "it is difficult to buy what I am willing to do", what do I not like, and what do I have to do with it?
So, he dared to slow down. Slowly watching the mountain change from green to blue and vast; slowly observing how the apricot blossoms in front of the door bloom, year after year; slowly waiting until autumn, harvesting some persimmons and apricots, eating some winter melons that you planted yourself...
The slowness of the second winter is to choose the life you yearn for. Slowness is not a slow response, but a way to treat life and know how to find a rhythm that suits you, rather than being pushed by the clock of society.
I am afraid of someone like Er dong who slows down, and what is even more afraid is that one day he will not be able to stay on the Zhongnan Mountain?
I am not afraid of slow people, but I am afraid that no one will live the life they yearn for.
They can afford to blossom and bear fruit slowly
I'm afraid of those who slow down, afraid that they won't tire of repetition and do what they believe they do.
These days, I meet a lot of fresh and interesting people in Jingdezhen. There was a girl who impressed me.
When I first met her, she was setting up a stall in the market, wearing a woolen hat, a clean and delicate melon face, and holding her own firewood works in her hands, which was a different atmosphere. Or apply an ochre-like glaze, like dirt on the earth. Or the color is condensed like ink, just like the mountains of deep winter, the cracked texture is exposed, but there is a strong sense of life.
But a few years ago, when I first arrived in Jingdezhen, I was empty-handed and everything was unknown. But she thought to herself, since she likes to play with mud and wood burning, let's do it.
At the beginning, you can't make good things, and you can't support yourself, so learn slowly, do it slowly, and think about it slowly. Just do it, just wait and wait.
Some people say that many young people in Jingdezhen have a kind of "calm between hands and feet.". This calmness may come from having a certainty about what they want to do.
Because of believing, because of certainty, what is the harm in slowing down and being faster? You know, you're going to get where you want to go.
Sometimes, we can't slow down because of anxiety, because we don't believe in ourselves, worry that it's too late to be slow, but forget that doing is the best way to alleviate anxiety, and doing it can never be slow.
So, I'm afraid of those who can slow down, afraid of people who are still determined about what they want to do in the midst of rapid change, they can afford to wait, they can slow down.
In the "Vegetable Root Tan", it is said: "The years are long, and the busy people promote themselves; the wind and snow are idle, and the disturbers are redundant." "The power to slow down, like a tree, knows that as long as it is cultivated, deeply rooted, blossoming and bearing fruit, it is natural.
They know how to slow down and understand beauty is to slow down and be themselves
I am afraid of those who slow down, afraid that they can live a beautiful daily life in ordinary life.
Living in the courtyard of Jingde Lou, time will become very slow. It inhabits the tail end of the village, with a rice field in front of it.
In the early morning, Teacher Le got up early and took advantage of the faint light to start practicing in the study until the sun climbed up the plum branch little by little.
After breakfast, start cleaning. The yard is not big, but the seasons come and go, and there are always fallen leaves, dead branches, dust and so on. The broom rustles, and sometimes when I see a beautiful branch, I pick up a flower maker.

Sometimes, go to burn porcelain, burn it for a few days, and slowly wait for them to be reborn. Sometimes, when friends come to visit, they will drink tea together in the tea pavilion, drink tea and chat, watching the bamboo leaves slowly dyed golden, and the moon bending to climb to the eaves, just like the ancient poem "Raise a glass to invite the bright moon, and the shadow becomes three people".
I don't know when our time was cut into precisely calculated blocks, divided into different things and people, such as working hours, parent-child time. However, here, after slowing down, you will find that time is actually when it is enjoyed and aesthetically pleasing, just like our ancestors.
Spring life, summer long, autumn harvest, winter Tibet, when friends get together, the cup of joy when friends get together, the loss of a person when listening to the rain, and the heavy heart when looking at the distant mountains, are all real and vivid daily life.
I'm afraid of those who slow down because they show us the imagination of another life: slow down, give yourself some space, feel the everyday, enjoy the useless beauty.
As Jiang Xun said: "Beauty is to slow down and be yourself." ”
