Reflections after reading "Cai Gen Tan" 1
My friends highly praised the book "Cai Gen Tan" and praised it as a book of self-cultivation and wisdom. I also thought about it in I read it carefully in my spare time, but I have no choice but to be busy with the world and never take time to read and appreciate it.
Recently, my daughter’s school distributed this book to the children and asked every student to memorize the contents. My eight-year-old daughter couldn't understand the meaning behind each quotation at all, so she asked me for help and asked me to read and talk to her. So I took this opportunity to open this "Cai Gen Tan" for the first time.
"Cai Gen Tan" is a collection of quotations on cultivation, life, conduct and birth, collected and compiled by Hong Yingming, a Taoist at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. There are different opinions on why the dish is named after the vegetable root. Most of them believe that it comes from an old saying by scholars in the Song Dynasty - "If a person can bite the vegetable root, everything can be done." The author uses this book to express his indifferent attitude of being willing to live in poverty and his ideal of ordinary and transcendent life, which is worthy of admiration and learning by future generations.
In modern life with a high pace of life, people are busy running around and have no time to stop and reflect on their hearts. Just like me, I am busy with work and life every day. I often encounter various failures, setbacks, confusions and knots, which often leave shadows and scars in my heart. While teaching my daughter how to read, every quotation in "Cai Gen Tan" touched me deeply, and I suddenly became enlightened like an enlightenment. I read a few paragraphs every day, and I have some new thoughts and insights every day. . While reading, I opened my heart and let these warning and awakening quotes surround and infiltrate my heart, changing my mentality, my life, and my outlook on life and world.
"The poor will be poor even though they are rich, and the contented will be rich even though they are poor. The poor will hate jade when they share gold, they will be resentful when they are granted public status, and they will be beggars when they are powerful. The contented people will make quinoa soup. The quotation is of great educational significance to the pursuit of wealth and mutual comparison in today's society. In the past, I have been lost in material desires, constantly longing for better material conditions. As a result, my heart is never satisfied. In comparison with others, I always hope for things beyond my ability, and my life is impetuous. And vanity. Now, I know that there is no end to the pursuit of material things. Although I do not have luxurious material conditions, I have a happy family and a stable and reliable job. Although my life is ordinary, my spirit should be happy. Yes, it is rich. Being content and always happy is a mentality of people pursuing happiness, and it is also a philosophy of life.
"You should look back early when you are proud, and let go when you don't care. Favors are always harmful, so you must look back early when you are happy; when you fail, you may succeed, so let go when you don't care." Life is always Frustration and triumph are constantly being staged. This quotation tells us, don’t get carried away when you are proud, and don’t be cold-hearted when you are frustrated. For me, who just transferred from sales to general office, this sentence can be used as a workplace motto. Facing a new environment and new work challenges, I can only work harder to do a better job. When I encounter setbacks at work, I will no longer be discouraged, but continue to work hard and persist until I succeed.
Life is like this, you must be able to find the factors of happiness in ordinary life, you must be able to stay alert in the face of honors, and learn to persevere in the face of setbacks. "Cai Gen Tan" taught me how to face life, face work, and face life.
A "Cai Gen Tan", a warning book, I hope you can steal a little leisure time, find it, open it, read it, let your heart fly with the words, and let your life follow the reading. Enter another realm. Thoughts after reading Cai Gen Tan 2
The first time I came across Cai Gen Tan was when I saw the e-book "One Blind Life" on my mobile phone. This book is an interpretation of "Cai Gen Tan". I was deeply touched when I read it. The explanations about various aspects such as self-cultivation, life, and treatment of others gave me a lot of inspiration. Before the winter vacation, I discovered this "The Complete Collection of Cai Gen Tan" by chance in the school library. I felt like I had found a treasure.
During the holidays, every night, in the dead of night, under the soft desk lamp, I gently hold up this accumulated ancient wisdom and read "Cai Gen Tan" quietly, so that my soul can be washed and my impetuous heart can be calmed down. Be quiet.
"Cai Gen Tan" combines the Confucian doctrine of the mean, the Taoist thought of inaction and the Buddhist thought of transcendence. It tells the wisdom of life in many aspects such as self-cultivation, life, and conduct in a simple and easy way, and informs future generations of readers. Enjoy the ordinary and live your true self, and you will find the true flavor of life.
The first chapter of "Cai Gen Tan" is "Building virtue and cultivating one's moral character - standing high, sitting at a level, walking at a low level", which places "virtue" in a supreme position. The beginning of the chapter mentions "Keep yourself clean and live in morality - those who live in morality will be lonely for a while; those who rely on power will be desolate for eternity. A wise man looks at things outside of things and thinks about the body behind him. He would rather be lonely for a while than to be lonely for eternity. It's so desolate. "A person who can stick to moral standards may be lonely for a while; a person who relies on powerful people will be lonely forever. A broad-minded person, considering his eternal reputation after death, would rather stick to his moral principles and endure temporary loneliness than suffer eternity of desolation by clinging to the powerful. How clean and pure this is! Looking back at our real life, how many people are unable to resist the temptation of material desires, so they embark on the road of no return in life, leaving behind lifelong regrets. Isn’t it true that each “big tiger” or “little fly” that has been uncovered just proves this sentence? "Keep yourself clean and live in a moral state", then you will live an open and honest life!
And in the article "Heaven's secret is the most magical, wisdom is useless", it warns people how to pursue their own success and dreams. "A chaste man has no intention of seeking happiness, and God will take advantage of him without intention; if a man of danger tries to avoid disaster, God will take away his soul with intention. It can be seen that God's opportunity and power are the most powerful, what is the use of human wisdom and skill?" A person who sticks to his will? Although a virtuous person does not seek blessings with all his heart, God inadvertently guides him to fulfill his wish; although an insidious person deliberately avoids the punishment of disaster, God takes him away from where he intends to escape. The soul makes it lose its vitality. It can be seen from this that God's method of using magic power is very mysterious and unpredictable. What use is the wisdom of mortals?
When a person has cultivated his or her self-cultivation, morality and abilities to perfection, even if we are not eager to pursue blessings, happiness and luck will take the initiative to knock on the door; when a person does not think about success, but just When you work hard in that direction, you will be rewarded with unexpected surprises, just as Lao Tzu said, "Be the first to follow others' actions." You should not be too eager for quick success and should not resort to any means to achieve that goal. On the contrary, when you are more "careless" about reputation, interests, and status, and are more "careful" about your character, cultivation, and abilities, and do what you should do in a down-to-earth manner, we will reap the rewards we expected. surprise. Thoughts after reading Cai Gen Tan 3
In the dead of night, the lonely lamp is listening to the rain hitting the plantains and dripping on the sycamore trees. The sound of the classical and elegant guzheng flowing through the water and the clouds enters my ears. I am sleepless, alone with my little thoughts. A cup of tea relieves my sorrow. The fragrance of books fills my heart. Read "Cai Gen Tan" quietly, and taste the "nature-defining Cai Gen Tan" with your heart
"Cai Gen Tan" is the crystallization of wisdom that integrates Confucianism, Taoism, and interpretation, and is the mystery and ultimate of life. The feelings are vividly reflected in the book. There are not many words in the article, but it incorporates the deepest insights of life. After reading it and pondering it carefully, it feels like a stream of water flowing into your mouth. The taste is really refreshing.
The book consists of three parts: the original text, the translation, and the comments. There are a total of 360 entries, ranging from governing the country and bringing peace to the world, to self-cultivation and family management. The great ways in the world are all-encompassing. Politicians can find strategies for managing the country from it, such as "To live in a palace, one must have the scent of mountains and forests; to live under forests and springs, one must have the knowledge of temples and temples." "Those who discuss matters should be aware of the interests and benefits when they are outside the affairs; A businessman can find wisdom, a wisdom of advance and retreat, a wisdom of winning with benevolence; a monk can find broadness and generosity, and I like "Cai Gen Tan" even more. Most of them like the author's speculation and philosophy of life.
For example, "When a child is born and his mother is in danger, and when his wealth is accumulated and peeped, why is he happy but not worried? Poverty can be used sparingly, and illness can protect oneself, so what is worrying but not happy?" With such a differentiation, there is With flexibility, you will be able to stop in moderation in life and not be crushed by adversity. "If you look down upon your youth when you are old, you will be able to dispel the desire to race and compete; if you look down on glory when you are tired, you will be able to eradicate your thoughts of splendor and splendor." Looking at life history from such a perspective, talents will not be as light as a speck of dust, flying with the wind of the world. , but always keep a calm heart. As for how to deal with the world in the right way and in troubled times, this flexible philosophy of life is everywhere in the book.
So, how to deal with the changing world? The author tells us this, "I am noble, and people worship me, and I worship this Eguan and Dadai; I am humble, and people insult me, and I humiliate my common clothes and grass shoes. But it's not that I'm being worshiped, why am I happy? It's not that I'm being insulted, but I'm doing that. Angry? " Let the three-dimensional "I" be completely separated from the external things given to us by the world to treat honor and disgrace. This is a kind of great wisdom. If all officials can think this way, they will not be fooled by those flatterers with ulterior motives, and thus do stupid things such as being close to villains and staying away from gentlemen. The author is not afraid to use the worst malice to punish villains, and puts the smallest trust in the world's situation to maintain a calm attitude. This is also a kind of wisdom.
Regarding the pie falling from the sky, "Cai Gen Tan" said, "Unfortunate blessing, unreasonable gain, not the bait of creation, that is, the trap of opportunity in the world. The focus here is not high, and it is rare. If you are an official and you can deeply understand this, you will not be confused for a while and end up in a cocoon. On the contrary, you can take precautions and prevent problems before they happen, so that you can live peacefully.
What about facing the powerful? He said this, "The disaster of following the trend is both tragic and rapid; the flavor of staying in peace and quiet is the lightest and longest." What is a true gentleman? He told us,
"A gentleman is not worried when in trouble; he is wary when banqueting; he is not afraid when meeting powerful people; he is frightened when he is alone." There is also the broad sense that is everywhere in the book. , indifferent, tolerant, kind, and omnipresent strategy and wisdom, all of which make readers feel that they are not just reading, but talking to a wise man, communicating with a fearful friend, and the doubts in their hearts disappear, leaving them with All that fell was the heavy and warm warning.
This is "Cai Gen Tan", a good book "Cai Gen Tan". Hidden under her elegant brows is a pair of insightful eyes that see through the world. Thoughts after reading Cai Gen Tan 4
"Cai Gen Tan" is a short philosophical essay on how to teach people how to behave in the world. It is divided into ten chapters, each of which comparatively states or demonstrates the advantages and disadvantages, gains and losses from the pros and cons. And loss is full of philosophical speculation. The essays mostly use parallelism, with two sentences in a group. The contrast is neat and the meaning is profound. After reading it carefully, I feel it is particularly pertinent. The author must be an experienced and experienced man, who possesses both worldly carefree optimism and worldly indifference and serenity. His words are sincere, neither cold nor fiery, and can be precise and precise.
People in feudal society who read this book can avoid disasters, be wise and wise in protecting themselves, and enjoy all kinds of tastes of the world while being at ease in the world. Today, the times are developing very rapidly. People's outlook on life, worldview, right and wrong, and outlook on fame and wealth have all changed. Reading this book still provides some enlightenment, such as how to get along with others, how to educate yourself, and how to view all aspects of life. Everything in nature. The unity of heaven and man and the correspondence between heaven and man are the same in ancient and modern times. We must read and understand the gist of the book, but we must not stick to the book and be blinded by the book. We must learn to use the time only, as the book says:
If you don’t have any sincere thoughts in life, you will become a flower child, and everything will be empty;
If you are not smooth and witty in dealing with the world, you will be a wooden person, hindering everything.
When a person's heart is empty, righteousness and reason will come to him; Before the creation of Hongmeng, yin and yang were divided, and this is not the case in people's psychology. When you are a person and deal with the world, you have a bifurcated attitude, a foresight and a foresight, a magnanimity that can be tolerated, a thought of gains and losses, and a happy heart, which is a blessed paradise. Thoughts after reading Cai Gen Tan 5
Education is based on educating people, and educating people is based on cultivating morality. As a teacher, you should first have lofty teacher ethics, be a role model for others, and be a role model. Only in this way can we teach and educate people better.
Reading is the foundation of our being as human beings, and it is also the source of power to develop and change ourselves. Although I don't read many books, I have been pursuing a "state" of reading. Generally speaking, the highest state of reading is a state of selflessness. There is a book that I often like to read. In the book, I can find my own image and at the same time find a kind of tranquility in life. Reading his words is like having a conversation with him, one sentence, a lifetime. Sometimes one sentence in a book can change many things in your destiny. This is "Cai Gen Tan", a good book "Cai Gen Tan". Hidden under her elegant brows is a pair of insightful eyes that see through the world. This is a wonderful book that history will never forget. As far as I know, this book written by Hong Yingming in the Ming Dynasty has been reprinted countless times by later generations, which shows that there are many people who like this book. The founder of New China also liked this book. His evaluation of the book was, "Those who can chew the roots of vegetables can do everything." It can be seen that the teachings of this book are extraordinary.
The whole book "Cai Gen Tan" covers everything from governing the country and bringing peace to the world, to cultivating oneself and managing one's family. Politicians can find strategies for governing the country. For example, "Those who discuss matters should be aware of the interests and concerns when they are outside the affairs; those who are in charge of affairs should forget the concerns of interests and interests when they are in the middle of the affairs." Businessmen can find wit, a wit of advance and retreat, a wit of winning with benevolence; Monks will find it broad and tolerant, and I like Cai Gen Tan more because of the author's speculation and philosophy of life. For example, "When a child is born and his mother is in danger, and when his wealth is accumulated and peeped, why is he happy but not worried? Poverty can be used sparingly, and illness can protect oneself, so what is wrong but happy?" With this kind of differentiation, there is flexibility, and in life Only then can we stop and not be crushed by adversity. Looking at the history of life from such a perspective, talents will not be as light as a piece of dust, flying with the wind of the world, but always maintain a calm heart.
What about facing the powerful? This is what he said, "The disaster of following the trend is both tragic and rapid; the taste of staying in peace and quiet is the lightest and longest."
What is a true gentleman? He told us, "A gentleman is not worried when in trouble, is wary of worries when banqueting, is not afraid of powerful people, and is frightened of being alone."
There is also the broad sense that is everywhere in the book. , indifference, tolerance, kindness and wisdom, all of these made me feel that I was not just reading a book, but talking to a wise man and communicating with a fearful friend. The doubts in my heart disappeared, and all that was left was the heavy feeling. It also carries a warm warning. If you read "Cai Gen Tan" quietly and taste it carefully, the vegetable roots will become more and more fragrant, and your mind will become higher and higher. It can make people go from impetuous to calm, from superficial to profound. In this sense, it can be said that knowledge changes destiny. Thoughts after reading "Cai Gen Tan" 6
I have quite a feeling after reading "Cai Gen Tan": "The article is done to the best, there is nothing special about it, it is just right. The character is done to the best, there is nothing different about it, it is just the original. "Of course."
This sentence tells us: When the article is written to the highest level of proficiency and perfection, there is nothing profound and mysterious about the wording and sentence making, it is just the appropriate use of words to express one's true feelings. Just express it. When a person's moral cultivation reaches the lofty state of a high degree of unity of truth, goodness and beauty, there is nothing special about his speech and behavior. He is just a plain expression of his pure and simple natural spiritual essence.
Cao Pi in "Classics?" "Thesis" raises the writing of articles to the highest level, "Creating articles is the great cause of running a country and an immortal event. Years of life will come to an end, and happiness and glory will end in one's body. The two must come to each other in the long term, which is not as endless as articles." It has found a theoretical basis for scholars all over the world to study tirelessly and diligently to seek fame. It has also inspired generations of students to focus on closely integrating literature and character while studying to become famous. , regard composition and life as life, and while studying tirelessly, consciously improve themselves, in order to become a noble person who is consistent on the outside and inside.
In real life, what everyone’s soul thinks and what their body does are often not unified, and may even conflict, directly leading to a fierce conflict between "composition" and "being a person". It is really cruel. . However, this is also the true nature of life.
Because in the eyes of the Chinese, "literature is like a person", and the process of running in society throughout life is called "being a person". Only by successfully being a "person" can one have a pair of masterful hands in "composition". The so-called "To cultivate virtue, you must forget about fame and fame, and when you study, you must have a deep heart." People who are knowledgeable must concentrate and concentrate. Just like when you practice morality but cannot forget to seek utilitarianism and reputation, then you will definitely not have any real attainments. If you are only interested in reciting poems, composing poems and being arty when reading ancient books, then you will definitely not have any in-depth experience.
Life is like a big stage. Everyone is an actor and plays a different role. Naturally, there are positive characters and negative characters. At the same time, there are also true and false, and imaginary. The difference between reality and reality. A person can play multiple roles, but he cannot have multiple souls. Otherwise, the struggle between "spirit" and "flesh" is going on all the time. Wouldn't it be too tiring for people to live? In this way, the harmony between body and soul cannot be unified, and the soul cannot be unified. The peace of the country has become nonsense.
Nowadays, the biggest emotion when friends meet is: life is so tiring. This kind of fatigue is not simply due to the intensity of work, but the relationship between all aspects that a social person must take care of. It is the exhaustion of individual psychology and the unbearable burden on the soul. People in the workplace are well aware of this but do not understand it. Xuan can only bear it silently and adjust secretly. If we can achieve the goal of "nothing clever at all in articles and only natural character at all times", we can relieve ourselves of excessive psychological burdens, have a loving and calm state of mind, do not complain about others, do not demand perfection, be true to our true nature, and live with sincerity. Composition, then in our limited journey of life, we will abandon the burden of fame and fortune, enjoy the spring flowers and autumn moon, savor the summer scenery and winter snow, unite nature and man, and live in natural harmony throughout our lives.
Just like the name of "Cai Gen Tan": if you bite the vegetable root, it will break. I hope we can "transcend the desires of words and ears and see the true joy of life." Whether as a person or as a writer, everything will be fateful and we will be content with whatever comes our way. Thoughts after reading Cai Gen Tan 7
"Stillness within silence is not true tranquility. To achieve stillness in the place of movement is the true tranquility of nature; joy in pleasure is not true happiness. To achieve joy in suffering is the true nature of the mind. "The real machine."
Have you heard of it? This is an article in "Cai Gen Tan". It is said that in a quiet place, it is very quiet, but this is not true silence. To be quiet in a noisy place is the true silence.
Once, my mother and I came to a rural area, which was very poor. They were working and farming there, sweating profusely. I am very happy all day long in the city, but I am also very happy when I see the children and the adults farming in the countryside. Why? I know a truth, being happy in a happy environment is not real happiness. Being happy in a very poor living environment is the real happiness.
I finally know that the happiness I get from studying hard in school and studying hard is real happiness.
I will definitely do this.
The book "Cai Gen Tan" is good for me. I will keep this book well and study it carefully. Thoughts after reading "Cai Gen Tan" 8
After reading "Cai Gen Tan", I was immediately shocked by the author's open-minded mind and profound ideological connotation, especially "not surprised by favor or disgrace, leisurely watching the flowers blooming and falling in front of the court; leaving or leaving unintentionally" , The clouds roll and relax in the sky." I particularly like this passage. A few words, but it profoundly expresses the author's mentality towards life, fame and wealth, and everything in the world. In this era full of impetuosity and temptation, "Cai Gen Tan" is undoubtedly a stabilizing medicine, allowing people to gradually calm down their troubled and chaotic moods and gain a correct outlook on life and values.
An educated, knowledgeable and intelligent person cannot do without a broad foundation and strong perseverance. Because whether you have made achievements on your own or take the world as your responsibility, it is a heavy burden. It is impossible to pick up this burden and put it down until death. Without a broad foundation and strong perseverance, it is impossible. Zeng Shen, a disciple of Confucius, once said: "A scholar must be ambitious and perseverant. The responsibilities are heavy and the road ahead is long." This is the essence of the Gao Yuan chapter.
The Wisdom Chapter says: "Although I have helped or rescued others, don't always talk about it or keep it in mind, but if I have done something wrong to others, I must always reflect on it; others have done something wrong to me. I should always keep my kindness in my heart and never forget it easily. I must never forget the things that others have done to me."
The enlightenment given to us by the optimistic chapter is: "A kind-hearted and optimistic person always puts everything into perspective. All things are beautiful, and everything in heaven and earth is flawless; a person with a loyal and tolerant nature is always in a state of balance in his heart, and will not pay attention to conflicts in human affairs and evil in the world.
The "Dignity Chapter" also teaches us: we should be more forgiving of other people's mistakes and mistakes, but we should not forgive our own mistakes and mistakes; we should try our best to tolerate when we are humiliated, but we should try to help others to resolve their humiliation.
There are also chapters on achievement, dedication, self, joy, etc. Each chapter is so fascinating.
A sentence that impressed me deeply is "When discussing matters, you should know the interests and concerns clearly." Those who discuss matters should be aware of the interests when they are outside the matter. . When commenting on things, you should be a bystander, so that you can investigate the truth and the merits of the matter. When you are responsible for things, you should be involved as a party involved. Only by forgetting personal gains and losses can you get things done. In work or life, we will inevitably encounter things that puzzle us or things that we feel are unfair or inappropriate. This requires us to learn to put ourselves in other people's shoes and consider and judge from others' perspectives and standpoints, instead of Always consider from your own perspective and starting point. Only by putting yourself in others' shoes can you understand the difficulties of others, so that you won't think too much or think wrongly.
Nowadays, there are many kinds of books and magazines, and various inspirational articles are everywhere, but I still like "Cai Gen Tan". It is simple and thick, and every sentence is full of philosophical quotes, which are the practices of the ancients. Valuable accumulation and summary, Duan Duan's versatile philosophy of life has reference significance for life and work from ancient times to the present.
"Cai Gen Tan" is more than just a book to me, she is an indispensable mentor and friend around me. Good things should be shared and recommended to everyone. If you have time, you may wish to read "Cai Gen Tan" with me. The feeling is no less than communicating with a saint. Thoughts after reading Cai Gen Tan 9
Hong Yingming, also known as Zicheng, also known as Huanchu Taoist, his place of origin is unknown. His masterpiece is Cai Gen Tan, which together with Wang Yongbin's Night Talk around the Fireplace and Chen Jiru's Little Window Youji are rated as the three most wonderful books on business. However, in terms of the art of literature, the other two books cannot keep up with "Cai Gen Tan": "Night Talk around the Fireplace" is too rigid, and the language lacks flexibility, as if a puddle of thick mud cannot be opened; some sentences in "The Story of a Small Window" He boldly followed the example of "Cai Gen Tan", and the behavior of not covering it up with any extravagance seemed to be to show his bravery. Therefore, these two books are like brothers from the same birth, and some of their views are consistent.
According to another work by Hong Yingming, "The Strange Traces of Immortals and Buddhas", we know that he was keen on an official career in his early years, but like most unsuccessful literati, he retired to the mountains and forests in his later years. He is good friends with Yuan Huang, Feng Mengzhen and others, and it is inevitable that they have some mutual influence. However, most people don't know that "The Strange Traces of Immortals and Buddhas" is a book by Hong Yingming, and only know about "Cai Gen Tan". This should be a common problem for ordinary writers. Because one of their works is too famous, other works are eclipsed, and some even It simply failed to sell, which made the publisher unhappy. It also made us think that the writer's talent was limited and he could only do one thing, and could not make a hundred flowers bloom.
The original book of "Cai Gen Tan" had three prefaces written by ***, all of whom were famous figures at the time, which shows that this book was very popular for a while. In fact, this is just a booklet that teaches people to live in the world. In the final analysis, it is an "Instructions for Use", which is similar to Yuan Liaofan's "Four Lessons from Liaofan", both of which have a didactic tone. The whole book combines the thoughts of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, so it is slow to understand and sometimes incomprehensible. Fortunately, the language in the book is steep and the artistic conception is broad, which can arouse readers' interest.
The programs in the book are divided into four parts: "cultivation", "entertainment", "review" and "leisure". After reading it, I will have some thoughts and write them down one by one like settling accounts after autumn, so as to provide some exchanges of experiences with those who have read it. A little foreshadowing for those who haven’t read or are reading.
The first is "inaction". This was originally the product of Lao and Zhuang, and Hong Yingming used its inspiration to explain it and turned it into a system, making his views not only well-founded but also orthodox. He said, "If I want to see through my body, everything will be empty and my heart will always be empty. If it is empty, then the truth will be supported." He also said, "The body is as hot as fire, and when you think about illness, you will feel as cold as ashes; fame and fortune are sweet." , and when I think about death, I taste like wax in my mouth." He is so pure that he almost loses his sense of taste. He is not like Lao Tzu who directly said, "If you do nothing, everything will be cured." Nor is he like Zhuangzi who angrily advised, "If you don't use your axe, the thing is harmless, you have nothing to use, and you will be in trouble." He doesn't want Liezi to point it out clearly and say, " The heaven and the earth are not all capable, the saints are not all-powerful, and all things are not of all use." It is summed up in the word "incompetent". Therefore, Hong Yingming spoke beautifully, making himself a vivid example of the rules of conduct in "Cai Gen Tan".
The second is "no desire". Hong Yingming plagiarized Shi's mysteries, but developed their ethereal spirit and spread Buddhist Zen. For example, "A colored pen traces the emptiness, and the pen will not fade, and the emptiness will not be stained; a sharp knife will cut the water, and the knife will not damage the eel, and the water will not leave a mark." ?", "When the dust is removed from the chest, the language will feel interesting", etc. are all manifestations of this characteristic.
The third is "leisure". This is the most wonderful part, concentrated in the "Leisure" chapter, showing the elegance of the ancient hermit. For example, "The flying green and falling red under the steps are nothing more than poetry material; in front of the window, there is a clear and white reflection, and the place of enlightenment is full of Zen opportunities." "Going to bed, arousing a kind of cold and thoughtful thoughts", the more famous one is "not surprised by favor or disgrace, leisurely watching the flowers blooming and falling in front of the court; leaving or leaving without intention, wandering with the rolling clouds outside the sky".
Another impressive aspect of this book is the language. Hong Yingming uses detailed and exquisite brushwork to express a vigorous and unrestrained feeling, but when it comes to details, it is like a big wave. The little water droplets are gentle and lovely, such as "Kite flying and fish leaping", "Tranquil waves", "Green sea", "Shadow extinguishing in the sky", "Bow of tea and stove smoke" and so on.
This is a book worth reading. Among other similar books, it is considered one of the better ones. It will give some appropriate guidance on our understanding of life and beyond life, so as not to be premature. Got lost.
