Drinking, sex, and wealth have always been regarded as a danger to life and a great defense against maintaining integrity and longevity. So people mostly deny it. Some people say: "Wine is a poison that penetrates the intestines, sex is a steel knife that scrapes bones, wealth is the root of trouble, and anger is a smokeless artillery." "Fame is the rein of power, wine, sex, and wealth are all a place of self-imprisonment." These famous folk sayings are really It eliminates the evils of wine, sex and wealth. It is said that on April 14, 2001, Katz, the 37-year-old founder of the data compression software zip, died in a Milwaukee motel due to excessive drinking, which became another major crime of alcoholism, sex and wealth.

However, Chinese exploration, like words, often has multiple colors. Different perspectives and different footings will lead to different opinions. There is a huge difference between praise and criticism. It is true that "when viewed from the side, it looks like a ridge and a peak on the side, and the height is different from near to far."

The Song Dynasty when "the rivers flowed eastwards", the Song Dynasty when "the flowers in the backyard" flooded the rivers full of red, the Song Dynasty when there were "reformers of the 11th century", the Song Dynasty was full of charms. "Liquor, sex, wealth" shows multiple understandings.

That day, at the Xiangguo Temple in Kaifeng, Su Dongpo met his old friend Zen Master Foyin, who was described in "The Story of the Nuclear Boat" as "naked, with his head raised and his head raised". The two people talked about "wine, sex and wealth", and they were very interested. Foyin wrote four lines of poetry:

Drink, sex and wealth are four walls,

Everyone hides in the wall .

If you can jump out of the wall,

you will live longer even if you don’t live to be a hundred years old.

The Zen master has a sense of transcendence of real life, and his poems contain Zen principles that are both comforting and revealing.

Su Dongpo's impromptu and harmonious poem is:

The highest is to drink without being drunk;

To see the color without being confused is to be a hero;

The world Don't take money unjustly.

Be patient and let your anger subside.

Dongpo is Dongpo after all. He not only knows the joy of human nature, but also knows the principles of self-cultivation. In life, he cannot escape from the four walls of wine, sex and wealth. So when facing reality, it still depends on how you grasp the sense of proportion. That kind of attitude of joining the world, the courage to face life head-on and focus on self-repair is exactly the wisdom of real life. .

Later, Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi traveled together and came to Xiangguo Temple. They saw these two poems about "wine, sex and wealth" by Foyin and Su Shi. When Shenzong came, he asked Wang Anshi to use this as a title and a poem. head. Wang Anshi held the pen in his hand, raised his head and looked at the sky outside the temple. After thinking for a while, he wrote four lines of poetry:

There is no ceremony in the world without wine,

There is no color in the world. There are few people on the road;

The people work hard for wealth,

The state is full of vitality.

This "wine, sex, wealth" was given a new interpretation by him, giving it a new meaning, which gave him a new insight and a new opportunity. Wang Anshi deserves to be regarded as a prime minister who is full of innovative ideas and original spirit. His state of thinking transcends personal interests, rebounds from Pipa, and unexpected praises, and actually achieves good governance strategies.

Emperor Shenzong was happy for a moment and started to write poems, so he also recited four sentences:

Wine helps rituals and music help the country to be healthy,

Color nourishes the soul and strengthens the principles;

With abundant wealth and food, the country prospered;

The Qi of the Song Dynasty condensed like the rising sun.

This emperor who was reform-minded and able to adopt Wang Anshi's reform plan, who once angered Dongpo and then pardoned him, although he inherited the prince's poetic style and made some developments, he also It can be seen that his open mind and political program are quite dialectical and philosophical in the sentence "color nurtures life and emphasizes the principles and principles", which blends "color" and " principles and principles" together.

As a result, these four songs about "wine, sex and wealth" became a favorite. As the saying goes, things have many meanings, and there are opinions about praise and blame. In life, it is difficult to escape the material ecology of "wine, sex, wealth". The most important thing is to be self-sufficient; what is more preferable is to turn decay into magic, turn iron into gold, and open up a vibrant world. artistic conception.

Today, when we face "wine, sex and wealth", it seems that we can be more generous, far-sighted and have a higher vision. Maybe we have a more modern meaning and are more in line with the concept of modern economy.

By extension, we can look at everything at the same time, think in multiple directions, and conduct dialectical analysis, and we may not get lost in the dead end. For a thing, we should have more perspectives, praise and blame, pros and cons, up and down, left and right, to think about it, in order to find the best choice.
