What does Xiang 'an mean?
This is a proverb couplet. Selected from Shi's "heirloom" and "motto" The first couplet means that people who know how to be content often feel happy. There is a mentality problem here. Lin Bu, a poet in the Song Dynasty, said, "Those who are satisfied are poor and happy, while those who are not satisfied are rich in worries" (The Record of Peace of Mind). How can people feel satisfied? The key is to be "less selfish, less desire", "less desire is easy, and physical and mental health is also easy" (Ode to a Dull Family by Qing Feng Ban). For the health care of the elderly, it is particularly important to have a contented attitude. Meng Fanli, 72, wrote a jingle well: "Don't worry, don't ask for anything, why worry?" The moon and the breeze are always there, and the mountains and green waters are everywhere; Contented people are always happy, and self-denial is willing to be a willing ox; If you don't look comfortable for a long time, your dreams will be steady and slow. "(Calligraphy, No.2, 1983). The second couplet means, if you can bear it, you will be calm. Since ancient times, China people seem to attach great importance to forbearance: for example, "forbearance is necessary, and its things are beneficial" (Shangshu Jun Chen); "If you can't bear to be small, you will have great plans" (The Analects of Confucius, Wei Linggong); Little people can't bear to harm their righteousness "(Historical Records of Liang Xiaowang Family by Sima Qian of Han Dynasty). There is also a folk proverb that "forbearance can give birth to a hundred blessings and a thousand fortunes" and "nothing is difficult in the world, only if you put your mind to it". As for the Hundred Endurances Song written in the name of Zhang Tang Gongyi, it was widely circulated in the old society. The "Hundred Endurances Song" says: "The benevolent endures what others can't endure, and the wise endures what others can't endure. Think carefully before you put up with it, and pretend to be deaf before you put up with it. The word forbearance can be used all over the world, and forbearance can be adjacent. Endure indifference to nourish the soul, and endure hunger and cold to stand up. Endure hard work, endure debauchery, and have no illness. "Of course," forbearance "should also be analyzed in detail, and we should not blindly submit and submit to humiliation regardless of occasions, objects and rights and wrongs.
