Indifferent to favor and humiliation: indifferent to glory and humiliation. To go or to stay: to go means to retire, to stay means to live in officialdom.

Famous Quotes:

The most famous sentence in "Notes from a Secret Window" is "I am not surprised by favor or disgrace. I just watch the flowers blooming and falling in front of the court. I have no intention of leaving or leaving, just follow the clouds in the sky." "Shu." This is a couplet written by Hong Yingming of the Ming Dynasty recorded in Chen Meigong's "Notes on You Chuang".

The meaning of this sentence is that when doing things for others, you can treat favors and disgraces as normal as the blossoming and falling of flowers, so that you will not be surprised; only if you treat the change of positions like clouds and clouds, you will not be surprised.

A couplet contains only a few words, but it profoundly expresses the attitude towards things, fame and fortune in life: not happy with gains, not worried about losses, not surprised by favors and disgrace, not caring about leaving or leaving. . Only in this way can you feel peaceful, indifferent and natural. One looks at the three words in front of the court, and hides in the small building to form a unified one, regardless of the meaning of spring, summer, autumn and winter, while the three words in the sky also show the broad-minded feelings of magnifying the vision and not seeing the same things as others;

The sentence "Yunjuan Yunshu" has the lofty state of a man who can bend and stretch. It is really similar to Fan Zhongyan's attitude of not being happy with things and not being sad with oneself, and it is quite similar to the broad-minded and romantic figures of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
