For office workers who cycle back and forth day after day, especially those who are infected with "siege fatigue", they can't always stay at home and brush WeChat in their leisure time, so they especially yearn for poetry and far away. I wonder if you have ever thought about it, is poetry related to distant places?
Semantically speaking, what is poetry and what is far away, everyone understands. However, when it comes to the relationship between the two, it is slightly more complicated.
Some people lobby and learn to live their lives into poetry; some people masturbate and live poetically. This is of course good, the question is, how much money can be disposed of in the bank card? What about pots and pans? Some people may say that poetic dwelling is not about more money and less money, but about the state of mind. Just like Tao Yuanming, "Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the South Mountain." It should be known that "Mr. Wuliu" Tao Qian served as a liquor sacrifice in Jiangzhou, joined the army in Jianwei, joined the army in the town army, and ordered Pengze County, and because he was tired of his official eunuch career, he resigned from the position of county order and returned to Xi. If he did not have a certain amount of savings and enough hired workers, what would he rely on to buy a garden and take care of his life? Taohuayuan is very beautiful, very ideal, very detached, more than a thousand years before the utopia conceived by Thomas Mohr, but this is just a dream that Mr. Tao has illusioned, or it is a beautiful legend, and although beauty is beautiful, it is worth envisioning, but it is not true.
As Mr. Lu Xun said, all famous hermits always have the happiness of "leisurely wandering and talking about the age of death". Otherwise, where is the leisure to chop firewood, plough the fields during the day, water vegetables at night, and weave at night? Mr. Tao Yuanming is a well-known cain and pastoral poet, naturally he does not run periodicals, nor can he catch up with the "Geng", but he has "more than ten acres of square houses, eight or nine grass houses", and there are "child servants to welcome each other" in the home. Otherwise, his old man would not only have no wine to drink, but also no food to eat, and would have to worry about his livelihood all day.
It is reasonable to say that poetic inhabitation does not matter whether it is far or near, there is poetry in the heart, everywhere is far away, there is inspiration for the eyes, and the pen is a poem. "The window contains the thousand autumn snow of Xiling, the door berths the East Wu Wanli Boat" "Sitting idly in the small window to read Zhou Yi, I don't know how many times the spring has gone" is a close-up view; "the sea is born bright moon, the end of the world is at this time" "On a sunny day, a crane is lined with clouds, and the poetry is introduced to The Blue Sky", the camera is opened, but it is still reverie. If you can "wave your hand to go" and "march away" like Li Bai, come to a hike that you can walk and walk, it is more romantic.
In fact, as long as you have such a leisure, you can feel the warm spring blossoms in the wilderness, why face the sea? As long as you don't "get drunk and don't know the way back", why go through a thousand sails? As for returning as a teenager, it depends on how long you have been out, and if you "leave home and return to the old man", you will blame the village boy for "laughing and asking where the guests came from".
"Seven days in the cave, the world has been a thousand years", that is the myth of returning from the fairy cave. Today, humanity has made life in heaven a reality. According to the special relativity algorithm, one day in the sky and one year on the ground, then the astronaut returns after six months in orbit, that is, more than one hundred and eighty years. However, after the astronaut returns to the ground, although there will be corresponding physiological changes, the age will only increase by half a year synchronously, and it will not become the same as the old life star. To borrow a romantic analogy, wouldn't it be appropriate to say that they are still teenagers when they return?
In fact, poetry and far away are two major spiritual pursuits: poetry cultivates the soul and expresses emotions; distant places broaden horizons and increase insights; the intersection of the two is interest, or the condiment of life. In real life, different perspectives, different feelings, so there is a "half fireworks and half poetry" mood. There are also distant places in the poem, and there are also poetry in the distance. Because the hometown is tired of a long time, the familiar place has no scenery, the distance produces beauty, and the outside world is wonderful, so there is a desire for "the world is so big, I want to see it". People who have traveled all over the country and traveled around the world and five continents, although they are also tired, they are also happy. The ancients said that "life is like a reverse journey", and conversely, the reverse journey can also be happy in life. It is true that Li Bai's reverse journey was free, and Su Shi's reverse journey was forced, but he also lived a different life. Poetry and the distance have been harmoniously aligned, harmonized and harmonious with them.
The modernization of the city has brought us many benefits and conveniences, but because it has blocked our closeness with nature and alienated our feelings with nature, over time, many people gradually feel bored, anxious, and depressed, and they want to break free of this man-made cage and plan to travel around the world. However, with the densely populated city as the axis, the footprints of modernization are extending to sparsely populated places, even if we come to the vast wilderness, can we still see the "ambiguous distant people's village, relying on the smoke in the ruins"? Even if you walk into the vast Gobi, can you still see "the desert is lonely and the sun is setting on the long river"? Even if you stand by the river, can you still see "the lone sail is far away and the blue sky is exhausted, only to see the skyline of the Yangtze River"? But no matter what, the broadening of the field of vision can always soothe the sleepy soul, make people feel relaxed, always dissolve the sorrow of the void, and make people down-to-earth. At the very least, it will make dry eyeballs moist and tired pupils become lively.
But all those who have a little "surplus grain", "residual ink" and "yule" are not willing to be unwilling to be monotonous and boring daily life, not willing to be unwilling to be commonplace in the scenery, they need to relax themselves, let go of themselves, broaden their horizons, and enjoy their bodies and minds, otherwise they will live too materialistically, too tired, too forced, too embarrassed, too depressed, too stubborn, too boring. Even if you can't give poetry and fill in words, you still need the cultivation of poetry and painting, and the leisure of music and dance. Nowadays, Grandpa and Aunt are walking, carrying a Walkman in their hands, and even the cleaning staff in public environments are also plugging headphones to listen to music. Food and clothing are just needed, entertainment is nourishment, and material pursuit and spiritual enjoyment are not contradictory. Why do some people envy "then slow"? That's the same thing.
