What is happiness?
A thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets, and each person's definition of happiness is different.
Confucius said that happiness is a simple thing: "Learn and learn from time to time, don't you also say?" Have friends from afar, are you happy? ”
Zhuangzi said that only by not coveting worldly happiness can there be true happiness: "There is no happiness in the most, and there is no reputation for the most." ”
The ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus said: Happiness is the absence of pain in the body and the absence of disturbance of the soul.
Today I bring you six ancient poems, see the ancient poets' answers and pursuits of happiness, and hope that everyone will have a little more happiness every day, a little more.
"Spring Tour"
Don Bai Juyi
Get on the horse and go out, go out and patrol again.
Turning back to his wife, he should blame the spring tour frequency.
Sincerely know the frequency of spring travel, its nai old body.
Zhu Yan went back and forth, and the white hair was renewed.
Please count the number of relatives for me.
The maximum age is 100 years old, several people and seventy years old.
I am sixty-five now, and I am walking down the Saka wheel.
If it makes seventy, there are only five degrees of spring.
Spring is not fun, but I am afraid it is a fool.
In March, when the spring light was just right, the sixty-five-year-old Bai Juyi rode a horse and prepared to go out to play, but his wife blamed him for "playing too often".
In this regard, Bai Juyi believes that life is short and should be happy in time, he told his wife: Don't go out to play in the spring to find fun, I'm afraid I'm not a fool!
Yes, the time of the world is fleeting, where is the time to grieve? Why don't you pick up the spirit and go play?
If you are not happy, go on a spring tour, let the spring breeze blow on your face, listen to the birds singing, pick a beautiful flower, you will know that the world is worth it.
"The Eight Virgins of the Guard"
Don Du Fu
The Lord said that the meeting was difficult and exhausting in one fell swoop.
Ten is not drunk, and the feeling is deliberately long.
Life will inevitably encounter some unsatisfactory things, rather than being lonely and lonely alone, living in sentimentality, it is better to call friends to drink together.
When you have a leisure time, you can raise a glass with your friends, and time is like wine in a glass, gradually draining in joy, and losing together, as well as the boredom in your heart.
If you are not happy, then call a friend, promote a long conversation on your knees, and drink poetry to comfort your life, which is the true meaning of happiness.
"Homecoming"
Don Du Mu
The boy asked how late he was to return.
Whoever fights for years wins the sideburns.
Du Mu went home, and the childish child pulled on his clothes and asked him: Daddy, why did you come back so late?
When you come home from a busy day's work, with your wife and children waiting, you are already happier than many people.
Feng Zikai said: Only children can make people forget the troubles of the world.
If you feel that the family is unhappy, take a look at the cute children, their cute faces, innocent smiles, will definitely make you forget the troubles of the world.
"Reward Zhang Shaofu"
Don Wang Wei
In his old age, he was quiet and did not care about everything.
There is no long-term strategy for self-care, and the empty knowledge returns to the old forest.
The loose wind blows the belt, and the mountain moon plays the piano.
Jun asked poor reasoning, and the fishing song went deep into the pool.
In the eyes of pessimistic people, life is a chicken feather; in the eyes of optimistic people, life is full of poetry.
In his later years, Wang Wei took advantage of the night to come to the forest and played the piano with strings in the good moonlight, so unhappy.
Poetry and songs are endowed with dreams, and piano, chess, calligraphy and painting accompany life. The feeling of turning a life into poetry is the ultimate joy of elegance.
"Snow Plum Part I"
Song Lumepo
Mei Xue did not refuse to fall in the spring, and the rioters put aside the pen fee to evaluate the chapter.
Mei Susun snow is three points white, but the snow loses plum incense.
As the saying goes: people are better than people, and people are angry.
Although it is an exaggeration, compared with others, whether you win or lose, it is ultimately a futile annoyance.
Understand that every life has deficiencies, do not make senseless comparisons with others, cherish everything you have, and happiness will naturally come.
"Drinking Five"
Eastern Jin Dynasty Tao Yuanming
The knot is in the human realm, and there is no traffic or horse noise.
Q. How can you do it? The heart is far away from self-deprecation.
Under the eastern fence of the chrysanthemum, you can leisurely see the South Mountain.
The mountain atmosphere is good day and night, and the birds are returning.
There is truth in this, to discern what has been forgotten.
Tired of the officialdom, Tao Yuanming chose to retire to the mountains and forests, and in the mountains, he found his own happiness.
What is happiness? Happiness is a calm and leisurely heart, and you can smile happily when you see the ordinary sunset birds.
Everything does not care, peace of mind, where life is not a good scenery.
Bremer said, "True happiness is intrinsic, and it can only be found in the human mind." ”
The most important thing in life is frustration and difficulties, and the most missing thing is our optimistic attitude when facing difficulties.
If you are not happy, just calm down, go out for a walk, find someone to talk to, stay quiet for a while, eat a good meal, and in the ordinary years, experience that the world is worth it.
May everyone be accompanied by happiness, and may everyone have a brilliant tomorrow.
