In life, in addition to the rice oil and salt sauce vinegar tea, there must be something else to pursue. Meeting the physiological needs of survival, after all, is the need of the lowest layer. Spiritual satisfaction is actually a very important pursuit of a person. How can such a pursuit be realized? The spirit of "higher, faster, stronger" in sports, and the beauty of poetry that "can only be understood, cannot be spoken", can best meet this need.
Sports competitions are not only the struggle for champions, but also reflect a spirit of never accepting defeat. This spirit of never giving up, its motivating effect is actually very huge. In sports, especially football, which is called the "first sport", can best reflect the spirit of sports.
On January 3, 2022, the Chinese women's football team struggled twice, equalized twice, and defeated the world champion Japan through the final penalty shootout. To be honest, before this game, it is estimated that not many people think that the Chinese women's football team will win. However, the Chinese women's football players won this game with the spirit of not accepting defeat and never giving up.
Of course, the spirit of football's "first sport" can only be seen in women's football, men's football, it is best not to look at it as a good idea. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, on February 1, 2022, the Chinese men's football team lost 1:3 to Vietnam, a result that left people speechless. "There is not much time left for the national football team" and "there are not many opponents left for the national football team", this is the words we hear the most.
As far as poetry is concerned, we have unparalleled Tang poems, Song poems, and Yuan qu. Almost every Chinese can say a few words of poetry casually, which has become an inseparable part of their lives. Not only Chinese, but many foreigners are also impressed by our traditional poetry and are fascinated by it.
However, we must remember that when reading poetry, do not read modern poetry, especially modern poetry in recent decades. This is not cultivating sentiments, but looking for boredom and taking the initiative to find uncomfortable. Those modern poems that you read may scoff at them and may vomit discomfort.
Although the current "famous poets" appear in groups and the awards are numerous, there is really no work that can be taken, even if it is a single one. The only things that people can remember now are some "bodies", such as "pear blossom body", "black green body", "lamb body", "peace body", "feces and urine body". These poems, which have been ridiculed by others, are only ridiculed by people.
As for the specific works, few people can remember them. Even if it is remembered, it is only used as a joke, or used to adjust the atmosphere after tea and dinner. As for the spiritual edification and the pursuit of "beauty", there is nothing at all. Watching the Chinese men's soccer team is infuriating, and reading modern poetry makes people feel ridiculous.
However, if we don't watch the Chinese men's football team and don't read modern poetry, our life is actually quite good. Food, clothing, housing and travel are becoming more and more worry-free, and the spirit of women's volleyball and women's football will always inspire us from time to time. Tang poems and Song ci are always nourishing us from time to time.
At the just-opened 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, traditional Chinese poetry, especially Li Bai, shines at the opening ceremony. Li Bai's "The Water of the Yellow River Rises from Heaven" in Li Bai's "Will Enter the Wine" and the poem "Yanshan Snowflakes Are As Big as a Seat" in Li Bai's other poem "North Wind Line" are the finishing touches at the opening ceremony.
In fact, China is inseparable from traditional poetry, and has never forgotten traditional poetry. However, the current poetry world is an exception. They despise traditional poetry, or even abandon it completely, and everything is in line with the West. This is really a strange idea, don't give up your own good things, you have to learn other people's bad things, you can only say that there is no difference between good and bad.
Therefore, as long as we don't watch the Chinese men's football team, as long as we don't read the modern poetry now, our life is really quite good. Of course, if you have a peculiar hobby of "looking for abuse", watching Chinese men's football matches and reading modern poetry can definitely satisfy your special habits.
