Some people wonder why they should learn to meditate, because they are not monks. When you are young, you may think that the days when people come and go are the most pleasant, but you will gradually find that people have to bear the wind and rain alone after all.
Therefore, behind "Qing Huan" is a kind of "meditation". A glass of wine will feel hot when you just drink it, but it will be tasteless when you drink too much. A cup of tea, when you just drink it, will feel dull, but if you taste it carefully, it will smell fragrant.
Life is a process of tasting tea. The so-called "life is like tea, you must be slow, years are like songs, you must listen" is the truth.
Wang Zengqi once said: "Wotou cabbage, less desire to go, a clear conscience, long life."
The main style of the first half is "enthusiasm", so the main style of the second half is "Qing Huan". If you eat too much delicious food, you need to try more steamed cabbage. If you are used to seeing cars and horses coming and going, you need to try to walk more.
After all, life is a process from simple to complex, and then from complex to simple. If you give it a metaphor, then it can be said that this journey is the process of fireworks blooming, and after the fireworks, it will eventually be dull.
Many people say that a person's mind and age can be judged by his "eating and drinking". Maybe I didn't think so when I was young, but slowly, I think it's true.
Young people, full of blood, are completely a portrayal of "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers." They don't like bland things, but prefer spicy and exciting taste, which reflects their restlessness and anxiety.
After going deep into society, many people changed from "milk tea" to "thermos cup". Cups of "Gouqi tea" have become a health drink for many middle-aged people, reflecting a kind of calmness.
Later, more and more people went out of the unit wine bureau and became loyal supporters of green tea oolong Pu 'er. They don't want to be with complexity, they just want to savor time quietly.
What is "steamed cabbage, small desire to go"? Does it really mean literally? Actually, it's not. It reflects a constantly simplified life state, that is, a kind of indifference.
Bai once said: "people don't know the benefits of tea until middle age." If it is just to quench your thirst, tea is not the best choice. "
Drinking tea is a belief and a pursuit of life. Like steamed corn-bread cabbage, although it tastes rough, it has its own unique taste, and it is also a pleasure to taste it occasionally.
This is the truth of Tao Yuanming's "picking chrysanthemums under the hedge and seeing Nanshan leisurely". Things in the world are unpredictable, and it is difficult for outsiders to know. Our happiness is "like a duck to water, knowing ourselves in cold and warm".
When people know how to put down their bodies, slowly taste some "indifference" and gradually adapt to "calm down and do not dispute", they will suddenly wake up, and the so-called "Peach Blossom Garden" is in this heart.
What is the most important thing in one's life? Human life and health are priceless. The process of life is like a train trip. Get off at the station and say goodbye at the station.
Although people can't do things perfectly, they should at least be worthy of heaven and earth and their own conscience. In this life, people don't want to be rich and expensive, but they want to have a clear conscience.
There is a saying in the "Four Disciplines": "People are kind, although the blessing has not arrived, the disaster is far away; People are not sages, although the disaster has not arrived, the blessing is far away. "
What is the "blessing" that people often say? In fact, it's not that complicated, just the kindness and kindness hidden in people's hearts. It is fair that the world will treat you as you treat the world.
If you do things with a clear conscience, then the world will at least treat people with a clear conscience with kindness, even if it is sinister, because people in the world have a bright side after all.
Derived from the word "a clear conscience" is a kind of responsibility. The ancients had the responsibility of being the first to condemn the world, but ordinary life did not need such lofty dreams. Being yourself is the greatest respect for society.
People's responsibilities are nothing more than self, family and society. Therefore, "seeing yourself, seeing the world and seeing all beings" comes from this, but the most fundamental of these three "seeing" is "seeing yourself".
When people understand what they want in life, they will not be confused. Just like the pursuit of fame in youth and peace in old age, there are different people and things at different stages, which do not disturb or entangle each other.
Because of this, there will be a "birthday girl on earth". This "longevity" is nothing but indifference and contentment after seeing all the prosperity. Knowing the life like "tea" can make life more and more interesting.
Wotou cabbage, lack of desire to go, have a clear conscience, the birthday girl on earth. This short 16-character sidewalk shows people's pursuit and yearning, not seeking wealth, but seeking simplicity.
Lin Qingxuan, a writer, often regards "the most beautiful thing in the world is pure happiness" as a part of his life, and turns complicated days into poems in books and tea on coffee tables.
Everything in the world comes and goes in a hurry, and there are many people and things that we cannot explore and pursue. So too much entanglement will only make people fall into the mire.
Learning to shake hands with life is a compromise after overlooking. I think the days when I can compete with my life are over. Some people may think that this is a kind of negativity, which can be over-contested and will only become more and more "persistent".
If you are used to eating delicacies, you need to eat steamed cabbage, which is a balance between diet and life. Everything has a scale to measure everything in the world, and no one can stay out of it.
Therefore, Laozi and Zhuangzi understood quietness in Qing Huan, Confucius and Mencius put forward the doctrine of the mean in Qing Huan, and Mozi also learned to love and not attack.
Life is a balanced process, and "Qing Huan" is only the axis of balance. Everyone will go to extremes, but eventually they will move closer to the middle. This is not forced by the pressure of life, but an awakening after "crossing Qian Fan".
