What are some examples where contentment may not always be fun?

Examples of contentment are as follows:

1. After the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Jin people, the rulers fled to the south, made Hangzhou their capital, and established the Southern Song Dynasty. However, these rulers don't think about their home and country, drag out an ignoble existence and covet temporary enjoyment. Just like the poem in Lin Sheng's "Title of Lin 'an Mansion", "The warm wind makes tourists drunk and makes Hangzhou Bianzhou."

They don't want to recover the lost land in the Central Plains, and they don't learn the lessons of the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty. They are content with their happy life for a while, which can be described as "contentment". But before long, the good days came to an end, and the Southern Song Dynasty was also destroyed, and all the joy was reduced to ashes, but it was too late to regret.

The rulers of the Southern Song Dynasty, because of their lust for pleasure and lack of sense of hardship, not only failed to enjoy themselves, but also came to a tragic end of self-destruction. This is the result of leisure and pleasure.

2. Lin Huiyin faced famine, serious illness and death, but she was able to face the snow-white wall and firmly write the Architectural History of China. She was never satisfied with having a good family, a good husband and a good son, but constantly struggled with herself.

whether it's climbing to the top of the floor to repair the building or coughing while writing despite Liang Sicheng's dissuasion, it's never enough. Because she knows that only challenging herself and defeating herself is the greatest pleasure.
