Laozi and Zhuangzi's thought is to advocate that heaven has its own reincarnation, to let nature take its course, not to be an enemy of heaven and earth, and to go against God's will. There is providence in the darkness, and man is only a small molecule in this world, which is very small relative to the whole universe. Therefore, a person's strength is limited, so it is better to let nature take its course.
This sentence comes from Jia Pingwa's "Waste Capital", which is a novel by Jia Pingwa. The main content described is the story of a group of intellectuals living in remote mountainous areas in the 1980s. The Waste Capital won the Femina Prize for Literature in France, and was published several times later. The Wasted Capital and Jia Pingwa's impetuousness and Shaanxi opera constitute Jia Pingwa's trilogy.
There are many descriptions of men's and women's sexual love in The Wasted Capital, emphasizing the combination of spirit and flesh, and the connotation is deeply explored. The Waste Capital is the most popular literary work in 1980s and 1990s. At that time, anyone who had not read "The Waste Capital" was not an advanced youth.
In fact, Jia Pingwa's original intention in writing this sentence is to say that even if there are tens of millions of buildings, they just sleep in a bed. So no matter where you sleep, you sleep at night. It's like our life. No matter how we live, we will eventually live the most dull life.
Sleeping in a golden bed, but not necessarily sleeping soundly; Sleeping in a broken house, but not necessarily sleeping soundly. I think this reflects an idea of Jia Pingwa. What he pursues is never material, but food for the spiritual world.
This may be the difference between an artist and a businessman. For us ordinary people, we may agree with Jia Pingwa's idea more. Less desire for material things and more pursuit of spiritual world may make you happier.
