Li Bai once praised with a poem, "The moon of Mount Emei, half a round of autumn colors hangs on the horizon"; Bai Juyi also used words to express his nostalgia, "still holding the pipa, half covering his face and telling his heartstrings".
The most moving scenery in the world often lies in the flow between the half-hidden and the half-visible, and the most beautiful image in the world is always just right to be half-revealed and half-hidden.
"Half" is not only a subtle and far-reaching meaning, but also contains a profound and harmonious wisdom.
The most subtle realm of life is precisely in the blending and balance of this "half and the other half".
01
Reading is half boring, half interesting
It is undoubtedly a challenging task for children who are naturally curious and energetic to read quietly. Even if the monotonous black and white pages are transformed into colorful pictures, they cannot fully compare to the vividness and wonder of the real world.
For teenagers who are in the school stage, although reading is not entirely out of personal interest, it is undoubtedly an indispensable and important part, and boredom is inevitable. However, there is also a lot of fun in the world of reading.
You can't experience thousands of miles in a day, and you can't experience thousands of life situations in a lifetime, but books can take you through time and space to achieve all this.
In the book, you will find that the things that once bothered you and cared about them seem so insignificant in the long course of history, and that the dimensions of life are not simply binary opposites, but full of diversity and tolerance.
When the spiritual world is enriched by reading, books become a bridge connecting everything, making life lively and interesting, full of infinite possibilities.
Just as Huang Tingjian, a literati of the Song Dynasty, once said: "If you don't read for one day, your heart will be covered with dust, if you don't read for two days, your speech will be boring, and if you don't read for three days, your face will be hateful." ”
Nowadays, the forms and boundaries of reading are constantly expanding, from paper books to e-books to listening books, reading is no longer confined to the four walls of classrooms and libraries, nor is it limited to sitting upright.
If you truly understand the essence of reading, then whether you can taste the delicacy of a spring rain or appreciate the splendor of a flower, it is a way to read.
As long as there is love in the heart, everything in the world, even the heavens, the earth, the grass and trees, has its own worthy interpretation and taste.
02
Work, half involuted, half lying flat
If one can live out of love, it is undoubtedly the supreme experience of happiness.
In real life, however, most people's careers are not so poetic, and they revolve day after day around work they don't love, unable to escape from it despite their inner resistance.
Even so, it cannot stop the increasingly fierce involution trend of society. When the morning light is slightly dewed, countless people have hurriedly embarked on the road to commute, they go all out, dare not slack off, and even sacrifice their rest time to work overtime, just to firmly protect the seemingly fragile job.
However, after being trapped in the whirlpool of involution for a long time, the knowledge reserve will eventually be exhausted, and the enthusiasm that has been accumulated will gradually fade until the work results are not visible and fall into anxiety and uneasiness.
In fact, the ideal workplace state also needs to be adjusted and nourished by "lying flat" in a timely manner.
For example, sip a cup of soul-awakening coffee, read a biography of a combative person, or choose to do nothing but stare quietly at the endless sky and empty yourself.
You'll realise that not all busyness brings value, and that sometimes taking a break to recharge your body and mind can help you run faster, farther, and more powerful in the pursuit of your dreams.
03
Social, half lively, half solitary
Socialization undoubtedly plays an indispensable role in the realm of adult life.
Ideal socialization is like a warm symphony, and even if only two people resonate, it can inspire endless ripples of energy.
However, in the torrent of reality, social normality is often accompanied by the interweaving and weighing of interests, and people are torn and choose between their own demands.
One way to socialize that has been given high praise is to be alone. This does not mean that you are lonely and uncared for, but you choose to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd, or even the distractions of modern communication tools, and instead devote yourself to the quiet world of deep dialogue with yourself.
We can immerse ourselves in the vastness of the sea of books, revel in the beauty of the scenery, or devote ourselves to a protracted journey of deep inner cultivation. Whether it is to improve one's own realm or to purify the dust of the soul, solitude is undoubtedly the best place to cultivate.
When you complete the transformation in the baptism of solitude and find those things that are more worthy of investing time and energy, the form of social interaction will be simplified, abandoning redundancy and returning to the essence;
When you successfully eliminate the shallow joys in life and break free from the shackles of many passive choices, the road of life will suddenly open up and lead you into a more prosperous and broad world.
04
Marriage, half love, half family affection
In the world of marriage, a union without love is undoubtedly unfortunate, and a marriage that is sustained by love alone is often difficult to last. Marriage is like a temple built of love, which is strengthened and endured by the cornerstone of responsibility.
In the journey of marriage, love is like the rising sun, attracting each other to get closer, and in the long river of years, this love will gradually evolve into affectionate family affection, from the initial mutual attraction to sublimation to the support of each other through the wind and rain together.
Don't misunderstand that marriage is the end of love just because your heart is no longer strong. It is important to know that the heartbeat is an instantaneous touch, and if you keep seeking a strong throbbing, that touch will eventually lose its original charm.
In real life, nothing can always maintain a state of enthusiasm, but the normal state of ordinary life is the deepest and long-lasting way of existence.
Family affection is a vivid portrayal of marriage towards far-reaching and long-lasting, which not only carries the temperature of love, but also reflects the power of companionship and the responsibility from the depths of the heart.
Some people may yearn for romantic love in their youth, however, when the years go by, they can still hold hands and accompany each other until they are old, which is the most beautiful destination of love and the happiest appearance of marriage.
Therefore, a marriage without love cannot give birth to happiness, a marriage without love can hardly withstand the test of time, and only when love and responsibility coexist, marriage can last for a long time and bloom with the most beautiful brilliance.
05
Life, half poetic, half fireworks
Life is deeply rooted in the warm soil of the fireworks of the world.
It is the cycle of day after day, the comfort of every meal, the understanding and care that is built by every verbal exchange.
Maybe it's not always romantic, but it's full of affection, or maybe it seems ordinary year after year, but it really carries the weight of life.
Life does not need to be magnificent, just stable and peaceful, after all, in the trivial daily life of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, every detail is indispensable, and every moment of experience touches people's hearts.
However, life also calls for poetry and distance. Even though the days are flowing in repetition, our mood can become brighter and brighter like the rising sun;
Even a simple vegetable and a meal can be transformed into thousands of flavors through infinite creativity, and even ordinary conversations can be integrated into warm love words to add a touch of color to life.
Everything in this world may not have been vivid at all, but it is because of our love and joy that we give them life and make them shine with a unique brilliance.
Just like plants and trees, they are the ruthless existence of nature, but they become full of emotion and spirituality because of the poetry in the hearts of the viewers.
Another example is books, which were originally just silent paper, but because the reader's heart is full of yearning, the ink fragrance overflows, and the words leap onto the paper, giving birth to endless wisdom and emotion.
In fact, half of life is immersed in the warmth and nourishment of the fireworks in the world to maintain survival, and the other half is leisurely in the poetic spiritual world to soothe the soul.

Life is half uphill and half downhill
It is generally believed that the age of 35 is an important milestone in life, as it was like climbing a mountain peak, and then it seems to be a downhill journey.
However, whether it is uphill or downhill, the charm and challenges in between depend entirely on how we navigate and complete this journey of life.
In the uphill phase of the climb, we give it our all, because only by doing our best can we reveal how high we can reach and what magnificent scenery we can enjoy.
If you can be like Du Fu, "you will be at the top of the mountain and see the mountains at a glance", it is undoubtedly a lofty ideal of life, and if you can emulate Wang Wei's open-mindedness, "go to the poor place of water, sit and watch the clouds rise", it is also a profound philosophy of life.
No one has the right to define the right way to open life, no matter what the situation, as long as the mind is satisfied with the present moment, without worry, it is the full state of life.
Compared to the courage to go uphill, the downhill road is actually more challenging. When you go uphill, you don't know anything, and you tend to go up with a momentum, but going downhill can't be so simple.
Because after reaching the top, you have enjoyed the panorama of life and have some precious things, so when going downhill, people will inevitably weigh the gains and losses repeatedly. Moving too fast can lead to falls and slips, and carrying too much on your back can make it difficult to walk. So, in the face of downhill, we need to slow down, stay steady, and learn to give up at the right time.
Only by leaving behind the past successes and failures can we travel lightly, and at the same time have a firm belief in the future, so that we can move forward steadily without impatience and panic.
Every part of life has its own unique scenery, the top of the mountain is majestic but also full of dangers, and the foot of the mountain, although unremarkable, gives people a sense of peace and stability. There is nothing more beautiful about life than to embrace the ups and downs of life with a peaceful heart.
Lin Yutang wrote in the book "Half and Half Philosophy": "The sail is half a fan to avoid turning over, and the horse is half a reins and stable." ”
This is not to divide the things in our lives into two, but to teach us how to have the wisdom of "doing something and not doing something", so as to live a calm and calm, not demanding or perfunctory life.
The I Ching also reminds us that when things develop to the extreme, they will go in the opposite direction, and that behind perfection and perfection is often decay and withering. Therefore, the search for moderation in all aspects is the key to achieving true fulfillment.
In the future, let us leave a quiet space for ourselves in the face of the complex fireworks in the world, and enjoy the time of dialogue with ourselves and self-entertainment.
Even if the future is still full of unknowns, we will find ourselves lighter. Encourage everyone.
