Guo Degang’s classic sayings

1. In Journey to the West, Monk Tang, Elder Tang, took a servant named Monk Sha and two pets, one A monkey and a pig, a travel story.

2. People are at the end of the world and can’t help themselves. They sing in the wind and rain. The children of Jianghu can pick it up and put it down. Even if you can’t let it go, you have to let it go. Not many people live to be a hundred years old. They smile when they are happy and smile later when they are unhappy. Being happy is better than anything else. If you compete with anyone, you always compete with yourself. A lifetime will pass if you endure it for a while.

3. Don’t be confused, but starting from today, it will be the year of Taoguang and Gushu. Bear it, bear it, it's hard. When you are by the pool, you feel at ease from the turbidity, from the pureness, from the tranquility. If you don't climb up to see it, how can you know that the sea and sky are blue? When people are in use, they have little benevolence and righteousness, and they don't care about things without going through them. Sit quietly and think about the past, watch the flowers fade, and drink from the clear spring by looking at myself three times. As long as the bright moon is around the five lakes, I won’t have to worry about laughing at the fishing boats.
