The elegance of self-cultivation in ancient times
In ancient times, many literati paid more attention to self-cultivation. Therefore, playing the flute and playing the piano, reciting poems and painting, climbing high and traveling far, and drinking and composing songs have become a vivid portrayal of the life of literati. Let's see what is elegant!
The ancients were nine elegant.
1, burn incense
Fragrant, not only leisurely in the piano room of the study, but also ethereal in the temple altar; Not only can you watch silently in a quiet room, but you can also entertain yourself at the dinner. It can not only calm the nerves in the air, but also cure diseases; It is both an elite culture and a popular culture. It often brings us long-lost peace and stretch. So the incense has been circulated for thousands of years.
The ancients burned incense to enjoy elegance, and it was also a symbol of the noble status of the court. In the modern noisy urban life, we also need this kind of artistic conception of seeking quietness in motion. Put an incense burner in the living room, light a column of incense, close your eyes and feel the wonderful feeling brought by the fragrance quietly. Incense also helps to refresh the mind, eliminate fatigue, and impetuous heart will become practical.
2. Tea tasting
Tea can calm the mind, soothe the nerves, help cultivate sentiment and eliminate distractions. A cup of tea is full of a lifetime. In the slow pouring of fine products, it is a kind of leisure and an attitude towards life.
Making a pot of strong tea in your busy schedule, choosing a quiet place and pouring it yourself can relieve fatigue, relieve boredom and refresh yourself, or sip it slowly and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Step 3 listen to the rain
Rain brings people a sense of tranquility, melancholy and vicissitudes. A person, a cup of tea, watching raindrops dancing in the wind, listening to the sound of rain stirring people's hearts, let the sound of rain beat the faint thoughts, and the heart becomes transparent at this moment.
Listening to the rain is a way to treat everything with a calm mind, listening to the sound of rain dripping on the earth. Like raindrops, it's a symphony played by the rain elves, and it's a story told by all the creatures on earth!
4. Enjoy the snow
Snow can calm everything in the world overnight and give you a chance to feel the magic of nature at close range!
Appreciating the crystal-clear and pure snowflakes reminds people that in this dusty world, we should also maintain a pure and flawless state of mind and an extraordinary and noble state of mind like snowflakes.
Step 5 wait for the moon
In the traditional culture of China, the image of the moon often becomes the carrier of human thoughts and feelings, and its meaning is very rich.
In many poems about the moon, the poet melts the moon into his inner thoughts and feelings, so that the moon and inner thoughts and feelings complement each other, creating many beautiful aesthetic moods, and raising the literary taste, ideological connotation and artistic attainments of poems to a high level.
6. consider wine
The spirit of wine culture is rooted in Taoist philosophy, pursuing absolute freedom and forgetting the benefits of life and death, which is the essence of Chinese wine culture.
The ancient literati pursued the elegant artistic conception when drinking, and the traditional culture applied the wine culture to the extreme. Hundreds of ballads, ballads, proverbs, allusions, couplets and other cultural connotations were contained in the wine sequence, which endowed the drinking with elegant bookish atmosphere and cultural implications. Let people enjoy the freshness of culture while tasting fine wine.
7. flowers
Flower art is a medium for people to express their natural life, show their natural charm and understand nature, life, art and social life in their inner world. It is also a way for people to cultivate their self-cultivation, cultivate their sentiments and beautify their lives with the help of natural flowers and plants.
Today, people still have a soft spot for flowers, and flower exhibitions, markets and festivals are surging everywhere, and the grand occasion remains the same. I think China people love flowers not only because of their flower shapes, but also because of the essence of flower culture: flower rhyme.
8. Seek seclusion
Vast beauty is profound, implicit, unattainable and unfathomable, so many people like it? Looking for a secret victory? .
We should walk more in our spare time, feel the beauty brought by nature, and look for an elegant resort that suits us when we are traveling.
9. Father
A cup of fragrant tea, a clear tune, makes the faint fragrance dilute the floating dust, and the faint piano sound brings elegance and tranquility.
Guqin's voice is pure and elegant, clear and far-reaching, elegant in taste, happy but not obscene, sad but not hurt, resentful but not angry, gentle and sincere, peaceful in form and beyond. Qin Le's cleanliness and delicacy can arouse people's minds, vent their feelings, turn grievances into gas and sublimate the artistic conception of the mind.
