It is said that between the ages of 45 and 65, there is a saying called mature years. Life during this time is mature, skilled, mature, and not yet old. Su Shi, who lived in Huangzhou, was at this time, and after this time, there were Dongpo monks. Men and women who have gone through mature years, if they are not greasy, and when they see through the world, they should still be like youth, there is a fire, but there is no ambition to burn the prairies, only baking a warm cloud around them, about like a cup of hot tea aged in the hand in winter, mellow and clear. And reading is a way to keep warm.
Read "Cold Food Post", and reread "Chibi Fu" and "Later Chibi Fu". I felt that my soul was as soft as smoke, and my perception seemed to be nourished by the darkness of invisible existence, and I didn't realize that time had passed. If there is such a person, staying with him, like a spring breeze, very comfortable, and able to perceive his kindness, but knowing that this person has a bottom line and boundaries, and cannot be offended casually, this is probably beyond the reach of us laypeople. In the Analects, Confucius is described as gentle and powerful, mighty but not fierce, respectful and peaceful. The so-called "gentleman is like jade", which is as hard as a stone and has a warm water color, which is about this realm.
At this age, you will encounter a variety of points of view in reading, and in the trade-offs, you will feel that your vision is full of stars, clusters, and dazzling, or absorb an idea and establish your own system. So there is a vague appearance, continue to absorb and build, this vague appearance is clear and clear, belongs to oneself, is the condensation of one's true thoughts, and the core of this idea is the fire in the heart. Once this kind of system is established, it is like building a magnificent building, and it is even more like sewing clothes to be worn at any time, whether it is true or false, whether it is true or false, whether it is a program or a warp and weft, and all kinds of knowledge points are like being covered with all kinds of patches, as if it is a hundred clothes. Legend has it that wearing a hundred clothes can dispel illness and disasters, and live a long and happy life. When we build a garment to wear on our bodies, like an invisible armor to protect the fire in our hearts. Maturity is a bright and not harsh brilliance.
