What life has given us, only we can't be clearer. In his spare time, he counts the past one by one, and the sorrows and joys in it are mixed, and the bumps in it are self-aware.
So what is the cultivation of life? Let's go see what Yan Shu and Zhu Dunru have to say.
01
Among the literati of the Song Dynasty, Yan Shu can be regarded as a person with a smooth career and a comfortable life.
"Helpless flowers fall, déjà vu Swallow returns" is his spring sorrow, "want to send color notes and rulers, mountains and rivers know where" is his boundless thoughts.
His sentence "When the green plum boils wine bucket is new, the weather is cruel to spring" wrote the yaxing of the literati Green Plum with wine. Mr. Wang Guowei also regarded his "last night's west wind withered the green tree, went up to the tall building alone, and looked at the end of the world" as the first realm of learning.
Until I read his sentence "Full of mountains and rivers and empty thoughts", I suddenly felt that I fell in love at first sight and realized it.
"Huan Xi Sha"
I have always had a limited body, and it is easy to lose my soul when I am idle.
The wine feast song Xi Mo resigned frequently.
The mountains and rivers are empty, and the falling flowers and wind and rain hurt the spring even more.
It is better to take pity on the person in front of you.
A moment of time, a limited life, like a river flowing east, never to return, deep sorrow.
Therefore, frequent gatherings, borrowing wine to dispel sorrows, singing to wine, having fun in time, and talking about this limited body.
When it came time to land, looking at the great rivers and mountains, I couldn't help but think of my friends in the distance; when the wind and rain blew down the prosperity, I found that spring was easy to pass, and I couldn't help but feel more sad about spring.
Yan Shu embodies a profound philosophy of life in the mountains and rivers: the years are limited, the world is impermanent, lamenting the distance between time and space, and pursuing the beauty of the past are all futile. For wine as a song, life is geometric, why not have fun in time, drink freely, and send feelings to yourself.
In the political arena, Yan Shu can be called a winner in life. Known as a "child prodigy" since childhood, at the age of 14, he was elected to the capital to participate in the temple examination, and because of his outstanding performance, he was given the same jinshi birth by Emperor Zhenzong of Song, and eventually became the prime minister.
In lexicography, Yan Shu also achieved extraordinary results. His words are beautiful and clear, delicate in feelings, scattered with light sorrow, and no voice of mourning, and are known as the representatives of the "gentle school" lyricists.
Yan Shudeng has approached the peak of his life, admired the beautiful scenery, and has also been degraded from Beijing and tasted the bitterness of life. In the ups and downs, in the sad and happy clutch, he still has a strong self-forgiveness: "Wine feast song Xi Mo frequency."
There is a classic line in the movie "Mountains and Rivers": In the past, now, and in the future, everyone can only accompany you for a while, and sooner or later they will be separated.
So, instead of vainly missing relatives and friends far away and being sad by the flowers that have fallen from the wind and rain, it is better to be practical:
Don't be sad for the unpredictable tomorrow, don't be sad for the spring and hurt the other, the joy in front of you is more worthy of enjoyment, and the friendship in front of you can be more grasped.
After all, the past can only become a kind nostalgia, and we cannot indulge in it.
May we all take pity on those in front of us and live seriously in the moment.

Zhu Dunru is known as "Zi Jun", although he had great talent in his early years, he always stood alone, proud and frivolous.
The sentence "I am the Qingdu Shan Shui Lang, the Heavenly Sect pays and is loose" shows how wild and uninhibited he is, free and happy.
At the beginning of the change of lords in the country and the mountains, at the beginning of the southern crossing, he was angry when he was worried, and looked forward to "removing Feng Tianwei, sweeping away the madness, and rectifying everything."
After the fall of Fenjing and the guests living in Jinling, he ascended to a high altitude and looked far away, indignantly saying, "The Central Plains is chaotic, the hairpins are scattered, and when will it be harvested."
However, he has a poem that understands the world's human feelings and is more touching, that is, "Xijiang Yue".
"Xi Jiang Yue, The World is As Short as a Spring Dream"
The world is as short as a spring dream, and human feelings are as thin as autumn clouds.
Don't worry about hard work, everything has a destiny.
Fortunately, three glasses of wine are good, and a new flower is new.
The film is laughing and dating, and tomorrow is uncertain.
The word is full of sadness, and it is full of vicissitudes. This is what Zhu Dunru wrote after going through the vicissitudes of the world and the ups and downs of life.
The world is short-lived, fleeting like a spring dream. Human feelings are thin, like thin clouds in the autumn sky. Don't worry about your own hard work, everything is already predestined.
I was fortunate enough to encounter three glasses of wine and a flower with buds in bloom. The short joyful reunion was so intimate that no one knew what would happen tomorrow.
Zhu Dunru was once a wanderer who was drunk and drunk in this dynasty, and he turned to the world in middle age, but he was not at the right time and never satisfied.
Looking back on his life, the unbridled joy of the youth and the embrace of the prime-age have long become a distant past. When the old age is coming, the years that have passed in the heart of this elderly writer have engraved the sentimentality of the world's cold state and the lament of ill-fated fate.
In the "Vegetable Root Tan", it is said, "Reading through human feelings, we must first understand the enough preciousness of neglect; if we taste the taste of the world, we will know that it is true." This means that after reading the sophistication of human feelings, I know the preciousness that was once wild and uninhibited; after tasting all the tastes of life, I understand that fame and fortune are not the most important thing in life.
Non-indifference is not clear-sighted, non-tranquility is not far-reaching. After experiencing the baptism of earthly wind and rain, but not tolerated by the world, in his old age, Zhu Dunru simply "hid in a small building to become a unified, managing his winter, summer and spring and autumn", choosing to live a leisurely life.
After tasting the cold and warm of human feelings, sweet and bitter, bitter and sweet, he looked at the world, looked down on fame and fortune, and had a thorough understanding of life's encounters.
Of course, people have a utilitarian side of inflaming and clinging to the situation, when you are rich and developed, there is naturally no shortage of people around you who sneak around and shoot horses, but if you lose your momentum, those friends will disappear in an instant and disappear without a trace, to climb the upstart.
Everyone knows that "human feelings are like thin paper, and the world is like a chess game", then it is no wonder that "no one asks about the poor living in the downtown, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains".
Everything is insightful and learned, and human emotions are articles. In this world, there is probably no more complicated thing than the world, human feelings, and human nature.
Along the way, I know what I have gained and lost, and I am willing to be self-aware. Living in the present moment and managing what you have in front of you is the greatest gift to yourself, and it is also a kind of wisdom in life.

Yan Shu, Zhu Dunru's words and phrases, are truly admonishing us: The cultivation of life is to understand the world and cherish the present.
Indeed, in the rush of the world, if we are not careful, we will be immersed in entanglement and complexity.
As everyone knows, people have been saddled with the mission of game, resistance, and struggle since birth, and the wandering and trepidation of the soul is permanent and unavoidable.
And the future has pinned us too many hopes and yearnings, and even now we are still in torment and grief, and we still have to rely on our inner cultivation and our own strength to become stronger.
Only if you think deeply, you can still find your true nature without violating your original intention.
I hope that in addition to being sentimental, I can also cherish the present and love myself.
I hope that in addition to worrying, I can also learn to be relieved and look down.
May the hardships be ignited and the siege be highlighted.
