On the poem Enough is Enough 1. Metaphor of "Enough is Enough" in Tang Poetry

In the Tang dynasty, Bai Juyi wrote the drinking philosophy of "enough is enough, enjoy yourself" incisively and vividly:

I was drunk in the morning and drunk at night.

You are drunk before you finish a pot of wine.

Don't drink too little, it's easy to be happy.

Cup after cup, no more than three or four cups.

You will feel comfortable and forget about foreign affairs.

A stronger trophy, Tao Ran's legacy has been exhausted.

People who drink one stone at a time will only drink more and more expensive.

When he is drunk, he is no different from me.

Smile and thank you for drinking too much and drinking at your own expense.

Semi-Song by Li Mian, a scholar in Qing Dynasty;

It is infinitely useful to see through more than half of the people. Half a year is leisure and half a year is work.

Half country and half house, half mountain and half water countryside. Semi-cultivation, semi-study, semi-education, semi-marriage, semi-family.

Semi-elegant, semi-rough, semi-Chinese and semi-real. Clothes are half plain and half fresh, vegetables are half rich and half frugal.

A child servant is half capable and half clumsy, and his wife and children are half simple and half virtuous. The state of mind is half Buddha and half fairy, and the surname is half Shimada Hanzo.

Half the world will be returned, half the world will be established, half thinking about future generations and Cang Tian, and half thinking about what Yamaraja thinks.

Half drunk, half gorgeous. The sail is half-fanned to avoid overturning, and the horse is half-rein.

Half a little but spare the taste, half a lot of anti-entanglement. A hundred years of bitterness and happiness are half-related, and only half of them are cheap.

The sentence of "Bange" contains "Bange", which is fluent in writing and simple in language, and contains profound philosophy of life, which is thought-provoking and thought-provoking Everything in the world has a certain measure, and this measure is "medium" or "half". Failure to reach this scale is "less than", and exceeding this scale is "excessive". Doing things "not in place" or doing things too "excessive" will not get the expected results. Therefore, when dealing with people, we must pay attention to the "golden mean", and we must do something, but also do something wrong, so as not to hurt as much as possible. Especially in the face of various temptations of fame and fortune, enough is enough.

2. forbearing poetry

In ancient Greek mythology, there was a great hero named Hercules. One day, he walked on a rugged mountain road and found something like a bag under his feet. Hercules stepped on that thing, and instead of being stepped on it, it doubled in size. Hercules was furious and picked up a wooden stick with a thick bowl to hit it. It grew up and blocked the road. Just then, a saint came out of the mountain and said to Hercules, "friend, don't touch it, forget it and let it go far away!" " It's called a hate bag. If you don't, you'll be as young as before. If you violate it, it will swell up, block your way and be hostile to you to the end.

In fact, we often make the same mistakes as Hercules. When encountering contradictions, we don't want to suffer, press hard, reason, and die for face. We believe that tolerance means losing face and dignity, which will only escalate and intensify contradictions. In fact, forbearance does not mean that you don't want dignity, but that you are mature, calm, rational and open-minded. It is better to make concessions for the gratitude and respect of others to avoid deepening contradictions. Society is like a complicated net. It is inevitable that we will have misunderstandings or frictions with others. Be kind to grievances, learn to respect people you don't like, and fill your hate bag with tolerance. Only in this way will there be less resentment, more happiness and more respect.

I understand that if we take a step back and broaden our horizons, and if we give ourselves five minutes to think calmly, we will definitely have a broader mind and make more wise decisions. Life is different. You like fish, and he likes ducks. Although the hobbies are different, fate still arranges everyone to eat at the same table, and each has his own favorite things. Why not? Why force others to eat what they like? If we can recognize the objective existence of different qualities, we will be happy for our differences. You have your way of thinking, and I have my own understanding of life. If we can learn from each other and tolerate each other, we can live in harmony. Change your mind, embrace everything with a broad mind, and take a step back. At that time, you will feel that "the bright moon decorated your window and you decorated other people's dreams", which is an unexpected beauty and an unexpected miracle.

"The devil is easy to provoke, but the child is difficult to provoke." In fact, the more people with status and high education, the easier it is to get along with each other and the easier it is to resolve conflicts. On the contrary, those children who like to brag, talk big and bully others are good at showing off. They always try to show their importance by knocking down others to show their loyalty to Yan, but they show ignorance in thought and incompetence in action. A good Yan Xi will have the demeanor of a king, moderate wisdom, understand the importance of harmony, have a high degree of self-esteem, pursue moral Excellence, always think twice when the situation changes, hold down those kids who are eager to try, and understand that being broad-minded and modest about talents is broad, so as to avoid more unnecessary disputes.

Zhang and Dai Langye, prime ministers of Qing Dynasty, were both from Anhui. The two families live next door, both want to build houses, and there is a dispute over land. Mrs. Zhang wrote in Beijing, asking Prime Minister Zhang to intervene. After reading the letter, the prime minister immediately wrote a poem to persuade the old lady: "A letter from a thousand miles is just a wall. Why not let it go three feet?" The Great Wall of Wan Li is still there today, but I haven't seen Qin Shihuang. When Mrs. Zhang saw that the book was reasonable, she gave in three feet. "。 Ye Jia was deeply ashamed when he saw this scene and immediately gave up three feet against the wall. In this way, a six-foot-wide roadway was formed between the courtyard walls of Zhangye's house, which became the famous "six-foot alley". What Zhang lost was his ancestral homestead, but what he got was a good reputation of a harmonious neighborhood and a lasting reputation.

Everything has ups and downs, yin and yang, roundness and lack, superiority and inferiority, victory and defeat, not to mention the ever-changing life! When dealing with disputes and contradictions, why not think more: Let life be by going up one flight of stairs. Those neighborhood disputes, friends and relatives turned against each other, calm down and think about it carefully, it will be a bit ridiculous or even absurd. Do you want to be the protagonist of onlookers squinting? So why not take a step back and make peace? Smart people will not blindly strive for strength and competitiveness. When necessary, they would rather take a step back and avoid their own sharp edges. Sometimes they can not only win the respect of onlookers, but also win the respect of opponents. Who do you think is the real winner?

Don't let hatred hide your character, and don't let quarrels damage your image. Tolerance is a virtue, and forgiving others means being kind to yourself. I remember this sentence: "The heart is a container. When there is more and more love, hatred will be squeezed out. " Let's learn to be tolerant, fill our hearts with love, be kind to resentment and take a step back. Hold on for a while and calm down.
