The wisdom of life is the same in general, and the most important thing is to cultivate one's morality. Let's talk about the eight graces of China people and feel the ultimate romance in their bones!
First, read.
Books are really rich, but there is nothing wrong with them, fairy.
Idle people reading idle books can be compared with real people in the upper world, and their blessings are endless. Therefore, Jin Shengtan said: "It is a great pleasure in life to taste tea and read casual books." The ancients had already seen through the road of life and regarded the cultivation of a pure heart as their greatest fulfillment.
The ancients said: "It is difficult to change a person's temperament because of birth, but reading can change his temperament." Another cloud said: "We only have two things to study, one is to enter Germany, and the other is to study." In the past, although the meaning of words was very clear, they practiced little and turned a blind eye. After the world's tempering, I believe that reading is my first pleasure.
Second, appreciate painting.
Appreciating painting can make people's mood sink into the artistic atmosphere, get edified, make life more knowledgeable and relaxed, and it is a "psychological treatment" for heart disease. Painting appreciation has always been an elegant enjoyment, which can cultivate sentiment and be beneficial to health. If painting appreciation is a good medicine, it will be unbelievable. In fact, there are paintings and treatments in ancient and modern times.
A poem by Wang Mo in the Tang Dynasty said: "The distant mountains are colored, but the water near them is silent. It is not surprising that spring is still there. " The ancients painted with a pen and a piece of rice paper, free and easy, and freehand brushwork was smooth.
When the ancients painted, they all had profound meanings. When they put pen to paper, they all had their own masters. The name is true, and it has been said for a long time, and there must be something extraordinary. Nowadays, people appreciate painting, and there is no teacher to teach it, and there is no reading record, but what they agree with is good, and what they disagree with is bad. When asked what to do is good, they are at a loss.
Third, flowers
Flowers are hard to find. As a result, I dream of flying all over the world. China has a long history of flower culture, and flowers are an important theme in many works of art. Ancient songs include "Moonlit Night on a Spring River", "Three Lane of Plum Blossoms" and "Flowers in the Back Garden of Yushu". Folk music includes Jasmine, Why Flowers Are So Red, and so on. There are countless poems and paintings with flowers as the theme. Even traditional handicrafts such as embroidery and ceramics, flower patterns are important decorations.
People appreciate flowers, not only appreciate the natural beauty of flowers, such as color, fragrance and posture, but also give flowers an elegance and character by synthesizing their own feelings about flowers. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "I don't know the rhyme of flowers, it is difficult to enter the elegant environment". Now people appreciate flowers, and god is more important than shape. Those who are good at orchids are elegant and refined; Good chrysanthemums, good independence and cold autumn; Love lotus, it is better to get out of the mud without dyeing; People who love plum are good at fighting cold snow.
Fourth, burn? sweet
Let go of the things in your heart and let your mind calm down.
If the world is too noisy, there are many ways to calm people down. Some people think that walking into the mountains and listening to the wind in the mountains can calm down. Some people think that drinking a pot of tea can also make people quiet. Others like to light a wisp of fragrant incense to soothe their troubles between breaths, and now their hearts are calm.
Incense burning has always been a way to make people feel natural and peaceful. The ancients often used incense as their friend when reading, and liked it as their companion when they were alone. When it is quiet, it will always burn a fragrance, and with the elegant atmosphere, it will enter a quiet and peaceful state of mind. Some people like to burn incense before setting a tea mat to calm down their body and mind quickly, because only when they are calm can they feel the real taste of tea.
V. Father
Qin is the instrument of sages and gentlemen.
"On Qin" in the Song Dynasty says: "If you attack Qin, you will be in meditation. After years of tempering, you will be clear at a glance, use it freely, and have more than enough taste. " Li Zhi in Ming Dynasty went on to say, "The way of sound can lead to Zen". In today's life, playing the piano is the happiest thing and the best way to cultivate spirit, spirit and temperament.
This musical instrument with a history of thousands of years is still being played today, and it is extremely old and full of vitality. Ji Kang, a famous Wei-Jin master, said in On Health Preservation: "It is better to adjust your breath and meditate, often like ice and snow in your heart, with less heat in your heart. You can't turn heat into heat, but become hot again. " This is the so-called "peace of mind and natural coolness", that is, spiritual recuperation in summer health preservation. Music, like drugs, can relax the body, please the mind, circulate qi and blood, promote meridians, and have the ability to regulate the human body, just like drug therapy. Like Chinese herbal medicine, it can make people calm down and cool down naturally in hot summer.
Sixth, products? Tender tea
On a cold night, guests come to tea for wine, bamboo stove soup boils, and the fire is red at the beginning.
People in China pay attention to the word "quality" when drinking tea. "Tea tasting" is not only to identify the advantages and disadvantages of tea, but also to daydream and appreciate the taste of tea. Make a pot of strong tea in your busy schedule, choose a quiet place, pour it yourself to refresh your mind, or sip it slowly and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Tea has many flavors. As long as you brew with your heart and taste with your heart, it always has the power to make people happy.
When Su Dongpo took office in Hangzhou, Nan Pingqian of Jingci Temple heard about it and specially came to order tea for Dongpo. Travel-stained, meet each other in a hurry, be modest and calm, and grind carefully. Dongpo sat opposite him, quietly watching him decoct water, inject water and mix paste, holding a tea basket in his hand, spinning and blowing, his face as quiet as Buddha.
In the hands of a modest teacher, tea soup has a delicate milky white foam. After that, Dongpo raised his tea cup with both hands and tasted tea, which was unforgettable for a long time. He wrote a poem on the spot:
Xiao Daoren went out to Nanping Mountain to try tea samadhi.
Suddenly startled by the rabbit spot in the afternoon, I made a spring jar of goose wine.
"Samadhi" comes from Sanskrit Samadhi, which means to stop distracting thoughts and calm your mind. This profound understanding of still water is Zen and the taste of life. The still water is deep, and there is a smell in the light. This is the romance of tea tasting.
Seven, drinking.
A cup of wine and green plum overflows. It is always appropriate to enjoy the cool when you are drunk. ? In China, Dionysian spirit originated from Taoist philosophy. Zhuang Zhou advocated the unity of things and me, the unity of heaven and man, and the unity of life and death. Zhuangzi would rather be a free turtle shaking his head in the mud pond than a bound swift horse. The essence of China's Dionysian spirit lies in pursuing absolute freedom and forgetting the benefits of life and death, honor and disgrace.
There is an old saying that "an alcoholic is learning, not eating", and there is also a saying that "the sun grows in the pot when he is drunk". I have a pot of wine, which is enough to comfort the dust. This is the romance of drinking. Most wise men in ancient and modern times know the world from the realm of getting drunk, thoroughly understand life and cultivate their own character. ? Wine is a culture. Drink in pursuit of artistic conception, and don't drink indiscriminately. "History? In the Classic of Wine, it is said that "there is no Yi wine" (drinking from time to time, drinking less at ordinary times) and "no indulgence" (not drinking too much). It's windy and cool, and it snows when it rains; Flowers are blooming, and the new wine is ripe at first; This is a good time to drink.
Eight, the game
Chess player, game also. Chess player, art also. Games are an important part of oriental cultural life. It is not only different from ordinary entertainment games, but also influences and cultivates people's moral concepts, codes of conduct, aesthetic tastes and ways of thinking.
Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, which are also called the four traditional art forms in China, have become a rich cultural form. The calmness, open-mindedness, elegance and wit in Chess Manual are integrated with military affairs, philosophy, poetry and art..
Between black and white, inside and outside the Chu River and Han Dynasty, the enlightenment and connotation brought by chess have been infinitely expanded, and the world outside the chessboard has become one of the greatest characteristics of China chess culture. Square chessboard also has the functions of tempering people's will, edifying people's sentiment and inspiring national spirit.
Elegance is a feeling of peace and indifference from the heart. Stay away from busyness and leave a leisurely space where there are many distractions. Su Dongpo, a poet in the Song Dynasty, said: "The mountains and rivers are romantic, and the idlers are the masters." If there is no luxury, why add elegance?
