Xu Wei's life is based on? A prodigy? The beginning is an identity. He started reading at the age of six and never forgets anything. At the age of ten, he imitated Yang Xiong's Xiechao in the Western Han Dynasty and wrote an article Disturbance, which was appreciated by Liu Hao, the magistrate of Shanyin County. Everyone who knows his name believes that he can be the first, and Xu Wei himself thinks so.
However, no one can predict that his road to the imperial examination hit a nail in the initial stage: at the age of seventeen, he took the Shaoxing children's exam for the first time and failed! How does Xu Wei feel? Just want it? Into the pit set himself on fire? . At the age of twenty, Xu Wei went to the examination room again, and was barely admitted to the scholar. At this time, Xu Wei was full of ambition, but he didn't know that his long history of suffering had just begun.
After three years, Xu Wei rushed to Hangzhou to take the provincial examination. Eight times before and after, failed every time. The servant dust, empty into a sad smile, this person who dreamed of rising through the imperial examination since childhood, has become a gyro repeatedly whipped by the whip of the imperial examination system.
Xu Wei's pain is profound: it is far more than his reputation that afflicts him. In the particularly difficult 20 or 30 years, in addition to repeated battles and defeats after the rural examination, I also suffered various hardships, in turn: the death of my second brother Xu Lu; Brother Xu Huai died and his property was occupied by the wicked; Pan Shi, the first wife, died young; Divorce from his second wife, Wang; Entrust yourself to the shogunate and rely on others; Years in prison are painful. For Xu Wei, the road of suffering happens from time to time, which is even worse. This is a leak in the house, a mortar, an ambush. No wonder there are historical data suggesting that Xu Wei suffered from the so-called? Depression? And the degree is not light.
After all, Xu Wei is not an ordinary person. He didn't sink. In a place like prison, he began to devote himself to the study of health preservation. So his face became rosy, his depression gradually subsided, and his spirit gradually flourished. For many years, he was like a dead vine. What is his resurrection? Ivy. . Men who are extremely unhappy in the first half of their lives finally feel happy in the second half. The fate of thousands of turns has raised his happy experience to the height of philosophy. Xu Wei, who is rich in literary talent, summed up this philosophy as a couplet?
In difficult times, when you have fun, you can have some odds and ends music;
There is no end to suffering, and when it comes to suffering, it is extremely bitter.
It is difficult to get large chunks of happiness in life, but happiness is extremely important, so we should regard happiness as a precious opportunity worth fighting for. You can't disdain to catch opportunities just because they are limited and fragmentary. Once you have something happy, you should be happy soon. This is Xu Wei's happy philosophy in exchange for his half-life ups and downs.
With the support of this concept, in? Life is 70 years old, which is rare? In ancient China, Xu Wei lived to 72 years old and made rare achievements in many fields of literature and art, which became an unavoidable milestone in the cultural history. In the suffering of life, it was his happy philosophy that saved him and made him do it? Resist despair? , is it? To the past? . Without this philosophy, we probably wouldn't know that there was once a man named Xu Wei.
