Poetry, wine, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting

I packed my bags and walked on the road, always looking for the most beautiful gesture in my life, a shallow smile and a blooming wild flower, which clearly told me that it was happiness, and I also remembered Su Zi's sentence ". For a piano, a pot of wine, a stream of clouds. " How free and easy and open-minded, the world is floating and quiet into a faint song, naughty and innocent!
Xiangzi Shuhuai
Song Dynasty: Su Shi
Clear night without dust. Moonlight is like silver. When pouring wine, it must be full of ten minutes. It's a waste of fame and fortune, but it's a waste of effort. A colt in a sigh, a fire in a stone, and a dream.
even if you hold an article, who will kiss you when you speak. And Tao Tao, happy naive. When will you go home? Be an idle person. Yeah, a piano, a pot of wine, a stream of clouds.
The theme of "life is like a dream" is expressed more clearly and intensively in Su Shi's poem. Although he is straightforward and negative, he still waits for the world. He wants to explain that people's pursuit of fame and fortune is futile and laborious, and all things in the universe are short-lived. People's life is just like "a colt in a gap, a fire in a stone, and a dream body", and they should do nothing.
perhaps the best way to get rid of the depression of political life is to stay away from officialdom and retire to the countryside. Su Shi has not achieved great concealment. When will he return? But there is no solution and it is hard to predict. Playing the piano, drinking, enjoying the scenery, playing the wind and playing the moon, and enjoying leisure are exactly an ideal way of life for literati. Dongpo summarized this as "a piano, a pot of wine and a stream of clouds" to meet the needs.
After reading it, I was impressed by Su Shi's great demeanor. There is no heroic spirit of "asking the wine to the sky" between the lines, only the cold moonlight expresses the author's last yearning for life.
how many people have seen through the dust, but how many people can really let go of the world. I don't think even the master Su Shi can really let go. Yearning for yearning, reality for reality. Zheng Banqiao and many other masters did not once have the intention of seclusion! And the result?
As a mortal, there are many new feelings when we look at this word again. Vigorous is a living method, and plain is also a living method! It depends on what kind of life everyone needs, and choose the way that suits them according to the life they want. Personally, I will not hesitate to choose plain. Appreciate "truth" from insipid, and appreciate happiness in "truth"! This may be different from Master Su's dull pursuit of abandoning glitz, but it is also a little person's yearning for life!
