Many people talk about aesthetics and do not pay attention to logic.
1. Talk about beauty: The best moments in life are often the moments when you forget the reality.
The student once came to Zhu Guangqian's home and wanted to clean the layers of fallen leaves in the courtyard, but he stopped him: "I have accumulated so much that I can hear the rain."
"I waited for a long time to save so many layers of fallen leaves, and when I read in the study at night, I could hear the sound of the rain falling and the wind rolling up. This memory is more vivid and profound than reading many poems of autumn mood. ”
2. Talk about tragedy: After going through bad years, always sitting gently in the dark, putting yourself in a position to listen.
Qi Bangyuan wrote in "The Great River": In 1945, the war was not over. At that time, Zhu Guangqian "did not mention a word" when he was in class, but one day he talked about Wordsworth's "Margaret's Sorrow", writing about a woman, whose son had not heard from her for seven years, who choked up, paused and read again, and read the last two sentences, "If any chance to heave a sigh, They pity me, and not my grief.", he took off his glasses, tears flowed down his cheeks, suddenly closed the book, walked out of the classroom quickly, leaving the room full of shock, No one spoke.
Qi Bangyuan, who is more than eighty years old, has been displaced all her life and has gone to the country to leave her hometown, but she always remembers this moment, "Even the most desperate poems seem to have a strong vitality ... There is no dead end in life. ”
3. Talk about life: Man should live according to the nature given by nature, like grass, trees, insects and fish.
I have two ways of looking at life. In the first method, I put myself in the foreground and play tricks with all the people and things of the world; in the second method, I put myself in the background, standing by and watching others pretending there.
When I stood at the front desk, I saw myself as the same as the others, not only like the others, but also like the birds, animals, insects, fish and other things. When I stand in the background, I look at people and things the same, I look at war the same as I look at cockfighting, and I look at love the same as I watch male dragonflies chasing female dragonflies. Therefore, right and wrong, good and evil have no meaning to me, and I just think that looking at these chaotic people and things is like looking at pictures, like reading novels, every piece is very interesting.
4. Talk about yourself: Anyone who cannot maintain a calm and objective attitude has the problem of taking "me" too much.
There are many places that should be thankful for literature and art, especially he taught me to learn a method of world view. Anyone who cannot maintain a calm and objective attitude has the problem of taking "me" too much. They look at the world through the colored telescope of "I," and everything loses its true nature.
The so-called calm and objective attitude is to throw away this telescope and let "I" jump out of the circle, not to see the world as if there is a "me" in the world, or to see the "me" in the same way as everything like "me". Only those who are calm can observe and realize that "all things are self-sufficient."
5. Talk about life: walk slowly, appreciate!
There is a large car road in the Alpine valley, lined with beautiful scenery, and a placard inserted in the road advises tourists: "Go slowly, appreciate!" "Many people live in this world of flowing water and horses, just like a car in the Alpine valley, hurrying through, not having time to look back and linger, so that this rich and gorgeous world becomes a lifeless prison. What a pity! Life is inherently an art in a broader sense. The history of each person's life is his own work. Life is short, but there is someone or thing that makes you willing to stop and quietly appreciate.
6. Talk about the motto: this body, this time, here and now
True beauty is extremely weak, but it is unconquerable. Throughout his life, he adhered to his motto, "This Body, Here and Now," which means that everything that this body should do and can do will never be prevaricated by others. At this time, it means that everything that should be done and can be done at this time will never be postponed to the future. Here, it means that whatever should be done and can be done here is not waiting for the better situation imagined. Before his death, a student went to see him, and he wrote that "the wildfires burn endlessly, and the spring wind blows again."
