"Zhu Zi Family Training"
Do not covet windfalls, do not drink too much wine
In the fourteenth chapter of the Analects, it is said that "righteousness is then taken."
Righteousness is what should be, and only the goods that are deserved are to be taken. As the saying goes: "A gentleman loves money and has a way to get it." ”
"There is not much to hate for wealth, but there is more money to harm the Son of Man!"
Many things in life are contradictory, just like the Treasure Book of the Wind and Moon in "Dream of the Red Chamber", which can cure diseases on the one hand, but it is scary. The other side is soul-destroying, but it will die.
The Buddhists say that "if you ask for something, you will suffer," and as long as you ask for something, you will suffer.
People pursue money endlessly, fearing less.
Because the days without money are painful, no one wants to live that precarious life.
However, more money is not necessarily a good thing, human nature is greedy, the so-called "people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant", the end of insatiable greed is often indigestion.
The original meaning of greed is to be dissatisfied. Why not be satisfied? It's because of desire.
Desires, if left unchecked, become the source of all sin and suffering.
The Buddhists list 'greed' as the first evil that must be abstained from in the first place.
Only when people are content and happy can they not be greedy. How can you be content?
The key is to understand a truth: the pros and cons of gains and losses are always complementary.
In the affairs of the world, there are as many advantages as there are drawbacks. If you look at how much a person gains, then he must have lost a lot. (Or love, or love, or money, or freedom.) ）
For wealth and honor, we must know how to stop at the right time, and when the moon is full, we will lose, and if the flowers bloom, we will be thankful.
Chinese pay attention to yin and yang, you must know that the anode must be reversed, and things will go to its opposite side after doing too much. Knowing that if you receive what you see, there will be no danger.
Desires are hard to fill, lust for profit is smoked, and if you do whatever you want, you will suffer great calamities.
People's pursuit of fame, money, status and other desires must have a limit, otherwise the bow is too full, sooner or later it will be broken, and then people will lose more than they lose.
Wine, a traditional culture of Chinese, is now brought out separately and is called 'wine culture'.
You see our Chinese dinner, if there is no wine, I always feel that there will be less charm. As a result, now there is a proverb - no wine, no table!
"Wine is a color matchmaker, and the more you drink it, the more spiritual it becomes!"
People always need some excuses to make their lives more comfortable, for example, after getting drunk, some of what should be said and what should not be said, what they want to say but dare not say, can all be spit out by the momentum of wine!
Spitting out the truth after drinking? Drunken promiscuity? Lost heart after drinking? I have not seen anyone get drunk and give me all the money on him, but when it comes to paying, he either rushes to the toilet or goes to the door to smoke...
"Drunk, the ugliest!"
Are there fewer cases of drinking misconduct in history?
Zhang Fei lost Xuzhou: Liu Bei was ordered to attack Yuan Shu and ordered Zhang Fei to guard Xuzhou.
Cao Bao, who did not want Zhang Fei to gather the crowd to drink heavily, and also forced Cao Bao, who was unable to drink, wanted to borrow Lü Bu's face, but instead provoked Zhang Fei and ate a board in vain.
Cao Bao went back, hated Zhang Fei deeply, sent a letter to someone overnight, and threw Xiao Pei to see Lü Bu, and said that Zhang Fei was rude;
And Yun: Xuande has gone to Huainan, tonight can take advantage of the flying drunk, lead the army to attack Xuzhou, do not miss this opportunity. (Excerpt from the 14th episode of romance of the Three Kingdoms)
Xu You switched to Cao Cao, believing himself in his merits and speaking in vain after drinking, and eventually provoked the disaster of killing himself.
Wine is a double-edged sword!
Of course, there is also a wonderful pen here, that is, Zhang Xu, a great calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty who is known as 'Zhang Qian'.
As we all know, the Tang Dynasty had three masterpieces: Li Bai's poems, Pei Min's swords, and Zhang Xu's cursive writing!
Zhang Xu is also an alcoholic, but he is often able to write and spend flowers after drinking.
Of course, this stems from his own solid foundation, in order to gradually get into a better state after drinking, splash ink, indulge in heroism, and write another kind of cursive - "wild grass"
Zhang Xu's cursive works appreciate "Pain Stickers"
"The flowers are half open, and the wine is slightly drunk, which is very interesting." If you are drunk like mud, you will become a bad situation! - "Vegetable Root Tan"
Everything has a degree, which is what "The Mean" calls "no fault and no failure!" ”
Drinking is indeed an elegant culture, depending on how it is treated.
In many cases, the great truth of the world needs to be half dreamed and half awake in a slightly drunk situation to be understood.
Pavilions and pavilions sit under the moon, and the beautiful scenery helps the wine.
"Li Baidou wine poems", the subtle drunkenness of the literati lies in being able to think of the fountain and speak wittily.
It seems that drunk qiankun has a little taste of living out the true meaning of life.
