The word "love" is the most touching in Chinese culture.
Don’t you see, so many graceful and flowing poems and songs are all born out of love and arise from love.
What is love?
The temperature of the heart.
According to "Shishuoxinyu·Sorrowful Death", Wang Rong's son of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest died. Shan Jian went to visit him and saw that Wang Rong was extremely sad.
What was popular in the Wei and Jin Dynasties was metaphysics, and what they sought was to transcend worldliness and let nature take its course. The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove were representatives of that era, so the mountain slip advised: "The child is in the arms." Why are things like this!"
Wang Rong's answer is the most touching thing I have ever seen about love.
He said: "The worst thing a saint can do is forget his feelings; the people he loves most are my generation." This sentence deeply touched the mountain slip.
The reason why it is touching and good is that it tells the three realms of love and the sorrow of loss in this era.
1. Inferior people are ruthless
"The lowest is not as good as emotion", "less than emotion" means ruthlessness and ruthlessness.
This sentence tells us two things: ruthlessness and thinness are not another existence besides affection and affection, but they cannot reach the level of affection.
So "lowest".
Whether you are affectionate or affectionate has nothing to do with your education level or how much you have read, but only reflects the quality of a person's heart.
Just like the words of the ancients that speak to the hearts of the people and penetrate the warmth and coldness of human relationships: Every person who is just butchers a dog will be a scholar who betrays his heart.
Nan Huaijin said, "There are few people who repay kindness, but many people who repay grievances." In society, most of the people who can really help others, sympathize with and pity others are the poor.
Only the poor will sympathize with the poor, and those who are in pain will sympathize with the suffering people.
People who are well-read and powerful have high knowledge and broad knowledge, and the more they explain their own thoughts. When they are unwilling to do it, they will deliberately explain it.
The higher the knowledge, the more complex the thoughts. People who become simple and single-minded with high knowledge are the first-class people in the world. They turn from being brilliant to ordinary people.
The feelings between success and failure, glory and humiliation in life, at all times and in all countries, can be seen most clearly in official circles, shopping malls, and love scenes, just like theaters.
Just like a limerick said:
The world and human relations are as thin as gauze - really not bad, fall by yourself and climb by yourself - Mo Laila; made many good friends - Smoking, drinking and tea, if anything happens, go to him - he's not at home.
"The Sages of the Past" said: "We are all brothers in wine and meat, but we never see each other in times of adversity."
Isn’t this a portrayal of the secular norm after we grow up?
Therefore, the most valuable thing about people is that they do not maintain morality because of honor or disgrace.
In this regard, Zhuge Liang once had a famous saying, which can be our best motto:
Snobbish friendships cannot last long. Scholars know each other that warmth does not increase the beauty, cold does not change and abandon, it lasts through the four seasons without declining, and it becomes stronger after going through hardships and hardships.
This is the friendship between gentlemen. "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water." Good friends are not fair-weather friends, they don't come and go every day, and they are usually very ordinary.
But this is not indifferent; when a friend encounters difficulties or is sick, he is there.
Normally it doesn’t matter, maybe just look at each other and say hello, but there is real enthusiasm.
In the final analysis, one must be a warm-hearted person. When there is warmth, there is affection, nothing else.
The world is in a hot and cold state, but only emotions can change it.
2. A middle-aged person, affectionate
What is affection?
I’m afraid people today don’t understand this word.
As a saying goes, this is an era in which "there are no results even if you go to bed."
The people who really understood this word were the ancients. The deep affection of the ancients beats everywhere in life.
Regarding family affection, Ruan Ji, a seemingly rebellious Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, still pretended to be calm and played chess with others, but after finishing the game, he vomited three liters of blood. Liver sausage.
For life, affection is Ruan Ji’s sincere pity for crying alone after the death of his young and beautiful daughter, whom he did not even know;
It is the helplessness of reality. Faced with a difficult road and painful struggles, driving a carriage in the wilderness, the confusion and magnanimity of crying when you encounter a wrong road;
It is the loneliness of sighing on the ancient battlefield of the decisive battle between Chu and Han on Wulao Mountain The deep sorrow and indignation of "there are no heroes in the world, so Zhuzi became famous".
Regarding friendship, Ji Kang, the leader of the Seven Sages in the Bamboo Forest, openly broke off relations with Shan Tao with a "Letter of Breaking off Diplomacy with Shan Juyuan", and then in Guangling's final song and died generously, he The only son was entrusted to Ji Kang's trust.
It was Xiang Xiu who had to succumb to becoming an official under the high pressure of the Sima family. He wrote the sad "Reminiscence of the Past" when he passed Ji Kang's old residence. miss.
For love, deep affection is the desire to "be like a winged bird in the sky and a twig on the ground";
It is the longing for love that "a day without seeing each other is like three autumns"; < /p>
It is the deep-rooted memory of "Ten years of life and death, without thinking about it, it will be unforgettable";
It is the memory of "give up and don't return to the road, work hard to make a living";
It is the vicissitudes of "Once upon a time, the sea was difficult to make water, except for Wushan, it was not clouds";
It is the vicissitudes of "There are no mountains, no mausoleums, rivers are exhausted, winter thunder shakes, summer rain and snow, heaven and earth are in harmony, but I dare to be with you" Firm;
It is the regret that "the eternity of heaven and earth will eventually end, and this hatred will last forever"...
This deep feeling is just like what Mu Xin said in the poem It said: "People in the past were so serious. They were serious about seducing and serious about losing their virginity."
Yes, being affectionate means being serious; living affectionately is living seriously.
An affectionate person is like a human being.
3. Superior people forget their feelings
There was a hot topic in the Wei and Jin Dynasties - Are saints sentimental or ruthless?
Wang Rong's "sage forgets his emotions" was the view of one school at that time, which believed that the saints were free from emotions and desires.
What finally sealed this issue was the words of Wang Bi, a genius of metaphysics: "There is emotion without being tired." The sage has emotion, but is not burdened by emotion.
What these five words convey is the true meaning of the state of "forgetting love".
We ordinary people are either unfeeling and heartless, or we are so affectionate that we hurt ourselves and find it difficult to extricate ourselves.
The most poetic expression of the world of forgetfulness is Zhuangzi’s classic fable: "When the spring dries up, the fish are on the land, they are wet with each other, and they are wet with foam. It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes."
The water dries up and the fish are exposed on the ground. They blow moisture and spit foam to moisten each other.
Instead of working so hard, it is better to go back to the rivers and lakes, swim freely, live happily, and forget each other.
There are so many people in the world who care about each other. Everyone thinks it is warm and touching, but it is actually a last resort.
Learning to turn around and pull away is not because you are heartless, but because your love is too deep. After you have tasted it all and finally see through it, you can let go.
How can we achieve the state of forgetfulness?
As Wang Bi said:
A saint is a god who is more prosperous than others, and has five emotions that are the same as others. The gods are abundant, so they can harmonize the body and clear the void, and the five emotions are the same, so they cannot respond to things without sorrow and joy. However, the sentiment of a saint is one that responds to things but does not burden them.
As Zhuangzi said:
What is gained is the time; what is lost is the right time. When the time is at ease and everything is smooth, sorrow and joy cannot enter.
The sage’s intention is like a mirror: he neither deflects nor welcomes, responds but does not hide, so he can overcome things without harming them.
The two sages said the same thing: adapt.
Adapt to all encounters and everything in the world.
Only by letting go of all obsessions in your heart can you do this.
This is a too high realm, but it is actually very plain. It can be summed up in three words: "Don't force it."
All unwillingness, all hurting oneself and hurting others, after seeing through, it is all a kind of forcing.
That’s why Jin Yong said in "The Book of Swords and Enmities": Deep love will last forever.
Even so, it is rare. As long as we have true love, no matter the outcome, it is worth it.
The state of forgetfulness may be too high and too far away from us. But the reason why we are humble is that we have lost even our deepest feelings.
That is our most precious thing and the foundation for us to live a noble life.
Some people say that people can be divided into three classes: nobles, commoners, and gangsters.
What distinguishes these three is not money and power, but a noble spirit.
This spirit is just like what Tagore said in his poem: "The world kissed me with pain, but I responded with songs."
Living has always been difficult. After cutting and rough polishing, as long as there is a little light, it will reflect dazzling beauty.
No matter what life gives to people, they will accept it calmly with their chin held high, live out the poetry of the difficult life, and live out the affectionate world. This is nobility.
The ancients said: "Hardships and hardships will make you successful."
The polishing of life can make people more dazzling, but the quality of jade or stone depends on you.
If people are high or low, the real standard can only be here.
