I have a friend who used to have a bad opinion of tea.
He always thought that tea was bitter and troublesome to drink. I think it's good enough to drink and heroic enough. I don't understand why I love tea like life.
Until recently, he also began to drink tea. He said: the first half of life and the second half of life are also the conversion of wine and tea.
First, wine is the world of mortals.
In the first half of my life, I was full of vigor and vitality, chasing the tail of my dream day after day, eager to become a successful person.
This ambition is like drinking wine, turning sincerity into ambition and making us think that "we will succeed".
In fact, in the first half of our lives, we really struggled for entrepreneurship or love.
If you want to live a better life, drinking and socializing are inevitable.
A drunken incident in Nanjing subway station in the first half of the year attracted the attention of netizens.
A young man in a suit fainted in the subway station because he was drinking with a client. He lay on the ground regardless of his image, and then got up and leaned against the post.
The policeman stood next to the man, and when he asked him, the man was hoarse and kept chanting:
"Drink a lot, drink a lot"
"No, really not."
"It is not easy for everyone to make a living."
A few minutes later, the man's wife appeared. One second he pretended to be calm and collapsed in an instant. He cried with his wife in his arms, and his voice trembled and he began to apologize. "I'm sorry, baby, I think I'm useless ..."
At this point, the wife patted her husband's head regardless of his filth, and then they hugged each other tightly.
If life is beautiful, who wants to get drunk?
Everyone knows that drinking too much is not good, but life is like this, and he can't help it.
Even if you are drunk, it is unknown whether the order on the wine table can be taken down.
The man in the news, he is his child, he must force himself for a better future.
Courage in youth is to raise your glass when you know you may not succeed. It was also when I knew the future was uncertain that I stumbled forward.
"Liangzhou Ci" by William Wang, a poet in the Tang Dynasty: If you want to drink the pipa with a glass of luminous wine, you must urge it immediately. Drunk lying on the battlefield, you don't laugh, there have been several wars in ancient times.
Helpless, this battlefield is a battlefield and a career. No one knows whether this undertaking will succeed or fail in the end.
I can only drink my tears under the cover of a few glasses of wine, and I still have to smile when I take away the glasses.
Cao Cao said that "drinking is a song, and life is geometric".
How heroic this sentence is! It seems that time and the world of mortals are in a glass of wine.
But on reflection, I found that there was a lot of sadness and helplessness hidden in it.
Once we worked hard, and it was late at night, so we put some kebabs and bottles of beer on the roadside to catch our breath.
People think that drinking beer is heroic, drinking white wine is bold, drinking red wine is romantic and cocktails are emotional appeal.
In fact, it's just that I want to drink when I'm too uncomfortable, so I can find a reason not to lose face for myself who drinks.
Wine is the first half of many people's lives. It seems to be heroic and chic, but in fact it is depressed and helpless.
Wine is something you have to drink for work, and it is also something you choose to immerse yourself in to escape from reality.
Drinking thought it was a red dust, but in the end it left a yellow maple leaf.
Now that the drinker is mature, he begins to put down his glass and pick up his teacup.
Second, tea is like a great cause of life.
Life is eight elegant: piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, tea and hops.
There are so many things to drink in the world, and the poet just blends wine and tea into elegance.
Wine is often intoxicating, but tea is just an awakening.
Half my life has passed, and I have had enough setbacks and bitterness. I should drink tea now.
Tea can really wake people up, because people who drink tea often like quiet, especially alone.
Quiet, drinking tea alone, you can introspect, have an epiphany, feel life and enjoy beauty.
If you struggle for career and love in the first half of your life, you should live a good life in the second half.
"Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely" is a poem by Tao Yuanming in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
He is known as the first pastoral poet in China and the originator of ancient and modern hermit poets.
Real life is like Tao Yuanming's retirement, with a slow pace and relaxation, watching the clouds rolling in the sky and the ups and downs of the sun and the moon.
How comfortable and comfortable, it is a great happiness to have a little time to enjoy flowers and birds in the second half of life and enjoy the quiet passage of time.
We all envy Tao Yuanming's leisurely life after he retired to the countryside, and feel that life is out of reach, but in reality, someone really did it.
Dong Zhang, a modern painter and poet, is such a practitioner.
He rented an abandoned old house in Zhong Nanshan and converted it into his own residence. He cooked, grew vegetables, raised geese and repaired houses by himself, and really lived a leisurely life of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely".
He wrote his story into an article called "20 14 relying on mountains for a living".
After the publication of this article, it was once screened in a circle of friends and was considered as "a life like tea and poetry".
This article and this life can be ignited, and one thing can be seen:
How this era longs for a leisurely and indifferent day.
However, leisure is not a form, but a mentality.
After work, all we need is a cup of tea and a quiet heart to live a hermit's life.
Even in a city like the steel forest, you can live a "leisurely and indifferent" life by raising cats and walking dogs, or planting some flowers and plants.
For the rest of our lives, we live slowly and feel the beauty of nature.
We used to drink, just like a chivalrous man wandering the Jianghu, thinking that he was invincible in the world, and we ran into a wall everywhere. When we succeed, we look down on fame and fortune.
Finally, we put down our cups and drank tea.
Even if we get together with friends and have a little wine occasionally, we should just miss the bitter days of the past.
But we prefer drinking tea, because in tea, there is a taste of indifference to life.
Exactly: three glasses of wine in the world of mortals and a pot of tea in the Millennium.
