Enjoy a cigarette and relax in the dust.

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.

Huang Tingjian, the eldest disciple of Su Shi, is an "agarwood man". He said: incense can purify the gas. When I have nothing to do, I like to find a delicate little copper stove, light a wick on the incense table and sit quietly with my eyes closed. Whether it's an urgent need to get rid of turbidity when returning from the officialdom, or writing a poem expecting inspiration, or keeping six roots alone, it's enough to be faint and fragrant.

No need to burn incense. Today, people can wear sachets and perfumes, but the ethereal artistic conception brought by burning incense can always make people willingly put aside the secular world, sit still, immerse themselves, be single-minded and detached.

Second, father

If the mind is comfortable, there is no string.

Song Dynasty's On Qin says: "Attacking Qin is like meditation. After years of tempering, I suddenly realized that I can do anything. Use it skillfully and taste more. " In the Ming Dynasty, Li Zhi went on to say, "The way of sound can lead to Zen." . In present life, playing the piano is the happiest thing.

Ji Kang, a famous artist in Wei and Jin Dynasties, said in "The Theory of Health Preservation": "It is more appropriate to calm your mind, often like ice and snow in your heart, and your heart will be less hot. You can't turn heat into heat and then turn it into heat. This is the so-called "calm, natural and cool", which is the spiritual recuperation in summer health preservation.

Tao Yuanming can't play the piano and keeps a stringed piano at home all the year round. Whenever he is drunk and comfortable, he can touch it gently, and silence is better than sound, which is also a kind of sustenance.

Third, the game

It is better to watch chess than to play chess, because the viewer has nothing to gain or lose.

"If you don't do something useless, why should you send this life?" . In ancient times, learned people played chess for recreation. At the same time, they also exercised their ability to consider the overall situation and enhanced their own strategies. Therefore, there are often idle people playing chess in the teahouse downtown.

There is a saying in Li Weng's "Follow the Fate": "It is better to watch chess than to play chess, because the viewer has nothing to gain or lose." Watching chess is very interesting, such as watching bullfighting, cockfighting and cricket fighting. But watching chess is also sad. Watching chess without saying a word is a kind of pain. My throat itches strangely, and I can hardly think about it.

The rise of metaphysics in the Northern and Southern Dynasties led scholars to be proud of talking clearly, so they went underground more vigorously, and playing Weiqi was called "talking by hand". The upper rulers are also good at playing chess. They set up officials with chess, established a "chess product" system, and awarded players a certain level of character (grade) equivalent to chess. At that time, chess was divided into nine segments, and Japanese Go was divided into nine segments, all of which originated from this.
