In the bustling ancient city, there is an antique teahouse called "Weijing Xuan". In the teahouse, the fragrance of tea is overflowing, and the ancient charm is long. On this day, a group of literati and artists gathered in the corner of the teahouse, and they sat around a table, drinking tea and discussing the Tao, and the atmosphere was warm.
Suddenly, a middle-aged scholar stood up, cleared his throat, and groaned loudly: "Taste the ups and downs for a lifetime." As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. This couplet not only has a far-reaching artistic conception, but also covers all kinds of tastes of life, which is endlessly evocative. Everyone was amazed, but no one could make a suitable link.
Just as everyone was deep in thought, a young voice broke the silence: "Sir, how about I try to get the next link right?" Everyone followed the prestige and saw a young scholar walking in with a folding fan in his hand and a smile on his face.
The middle-aged scholar nodded, signaling the young scholar to give it a try. The young scholar thought for a moment, and then slowly chanted: "Joys and sorrows are separated for a hundred years. As soon as these words came out, there was a round of applause in the teahouse. This sentence is not only neat and neat with the upper couplet, but also rich in life philosophy, integrating the joys, sorrows, joys and sorrows of life into it, and complementing the upper couplet.
The middle-aged scholar was full of praise for the young scholar's next link, and he stepped forward and shook hands with the young scholar. The two talked happily and seemed to be familiar at first sight. It turned out that the young scholar's name was Li Yi, and he was a talented man who traveled all over the world. He heard that there were often literati and scholars gathered in the "Weijing Xuan" teahouse, so he specially came to exchange and learn.
Li Yi chatted with a middle-aged scholar about his perception of life. He said: "Life is like a journey, we are all constantly tasting the ups and downs, experiencing joys and sorrows on the road. These experiences make us grow, make us mature, and make us cherish the people in front of us and cherish the present moment even more. ”
The middle-aged scholar nodded sympathetically, and he said, "You're right. Each of us is writing our own life story in our own way. And the ups and downs, joys and sorrows in these stories are our most valuable treasures. ”
The more they talked, the more speculative they became, and they decided to become confidants. They agreed to come to the "Weijingxuan" teahouse on the first day of each month to meet and discuss tea and exchange experiences together. As time went on, their friendship grew deeper and deeper, and it became a good story in the teahouse.
However, the good times were short-lived. One day a year later, the middle-aged scholar suddenly fell ill at home. He knew that his time was short, so he asked his family to invite Li Yi to his home. When the two met, the middle-aged scholar's face was already very pale. He held Li Yi's hand tightly, his eyes full of reluctance.
The middle-aged scholar said with difficulty: "Brother Yi, I'm afraid my time is running out. Before I leave, I want to couplet with you one more time. Li Yi tearfully nodded in agreement.
The middle-aged scholar took a deep breath and said slowly: "Wind, frost, rain and snow go through the four seasons. This couplet is full of emotion and helplessness about life, and it also indicates the fate of his imminent death.
Li Yi was sad in his heart, but he still held back his tears and said the following couplet: "The clouds are rolling and the clouds are comfortable." This couplet not only expresses the mourning for the death of the middle-aged scholar, but also expresses the good wish for their friendship to last forever.
The middle-aged scholar smiled slightly after hearing this, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes. He held Li Yi's hand tightly and said, "Brother Yi, thank you." With you as a confidant, I feel very happy and satisfied as I walk through the last journey of my life. With that, he closed his eyes forever.
Li Yi cried silently at the funeral of a middle-aged scholar. He knows that he has lost a rare confidant and a close friend with whom he can savor life. However, he also understands that life and death are life, wealth and wealth are in heaven, these are unchangeable facts.
After the death of the middle-aged scholar, Li Yi continued to travel all over the world, looking for a confidant who could resonate with him. He traveled to many places and met many people, but he never found anyone who could replace the middle-aged scholar. Whenever he remembered the time when he drank tea with middle-aged scholars, discussed Taoism, and exchanged experiences, his heart was filled with endless thoughts and feelings.
Time flies, and decades have passed in the blink of an eye. Li Yi has become a gray-haired old man, but he still hasn't forgotten the friendship and couplet with the middle-aged scholar. Whenever he recalls that time, his heart is filled with warmth and emotion.
One day, Li Yi came to an ancient temple during his travels. He met a monk in the temple, and the two had a great conversation. In the conversation, Li Yi mentioned his relationship with a middle-aged scholar and his perception of life. After hearing this, the monk smiled and said, "Donor, your friendship and couplet with that gentleman are all precious treasures in your life. These experiences have given you a deeper understanding of the meaning and value of life. Even as the years pass, your friendship and couplet will live on forever and become the best memories of your life. ”
Li Yi was deeply inspired. He realized that no matter how many ups and downs, ups and downs we have experienced in life, as long as we can cherish the people in front of us and cherish the present time, we can find our own happiness and satisfaction.
From that day on, Li Yi began to cherish his life and everyone he met even more. He uses his own experience and perception to influence the people around him, and continues to inherit the couplet relationship with middle-aged scholars.
Time flies. Li Yi eventually passed away, but his friendship and couplet with the middle-aged scholar remained forever in people's hearts and became an eternal story.
