The moon will be waning when it is full, the water will overflow when it is full, and the people will be arrogant when it is full. It talks about three natural phenomena, and it is also a metaphor for the attitude of people in the world. It is also a wise saying left by the ancestors. Most successful people leave room for words, act appropriately, and keep distance when making friends. This is a kind of philosophical thinking, and the key is to grasp a certain degree. Only those who are moderate, respectful and humble can be open to all rivers, embrace everything and, over time, continue to move towards the ideal kingdom of the soul.

Today, when the Internet is highly developed, someone posted on the Internet: "Since ancient times, the most taboo in life is to be half poor, half rich and half at ease; half life, half chance, half giving, half doing good; half deaf and half Dumb and half confused, half wise, half stupid and half sage; half human, half me and half at ease, half awake, half drunk and half god; half dear, half loving, half bitter and happy, half lustful, half Zen and half reliant; half of life depends on me, the other half is left to nature. "This is what Lao Tzu said: the elephant is invisible, the sound is loud, and the Dharma is natural. If the yin and yang are balanced and both left and right are taken into consideration, then one will not care about one thing at the expense of the other, or go to the extreme. "Half-wisdom, half-fool, half-sage" is not only an ideological concept of life, but also a method of social practice.

Nine out of ten things go wrong in life, and it can happen to anyone. If you encounter various difficulties in reality; if life deceives you, please don't be discouraged, don't forget, first of all, don't deceive yourself and choose to escape. Negatively withdrawing from the world, drinking poison to quench thirst, and not solving the problem. You must make the right decision in critical situations, find appropriate emergency measures, and persevere while being open-minded and forbearing. When facing insignificant events and places, you can stay half awake, half drunk, and embrace life with true feelings. As soon as the half-acre square pond is opened, the source of thoughts flows in; I still hold the pipa half-hidden, advancing and retreating on the stage. This is like Mr. Banban, who is experienced in the world, practices medicine and divination, and is known as a "half-immortal". He is somewhere between humans and gods. He can ascend to heaven without eating fireworks; he can be down-to-earth, enjoy family happiness, and achieve detachment with ease. realm.

When traveling and mountaineering, you can rest by the pavilion halfway up the mountain. The mountain is high and I am the peak, giving you a panoramic view of all the smaller mountains. The winding path leads to the secluded place below, and you can see the scenery step by step. There are tensions and relaxations in the way of civil and military affairs, isn't it true? I remember that the Banshan Pavilion in Yuelu Mountain in Changsha is an excellent scenic spot for looking at the river and the sky. According to locals, this was the former site of Banyun Nunnery. The ancient nunnery has been lost and cannot be traced. According to legend, the fire-burning monks in the nunnery in its heyday sang the Banyun song about enlightenment to the Buddha: "Shanbanshan Nunnery is called Banyun, Banmiao Half land, half rock. Half mountain, half blue sky, half shade. Half wine, half poetry, like cultivating one's mind. Half house, half listening to the sound of pine trees, half listening to the piano. Every scene and every place is mastered in every detail. It's like looking at flowers in the fog, like shadows following each other, seemingly but not, giving people a hazy beauty. Just like the scenery poem written by Mei Dingzuo, a poet of the Ming Dynasty: "Looking at the willows with half water and half smoke, half wind and half rain urging the flowers; half submerged and half floating fishing boats, half hidden and half visible to other people." Like a spread out landscape painting, In the boudoir of the Immortal Pavilion shrouded in mist, a girl who has just unveiled her veil walks out, walking with light steps, walking and living in a charming and charming way. Who can say that this is not a metaphor for a way of life? !

The person who best understands the moderation thoughts and moral status of ancient sages is Li Mi'an in the Qing Dynasty. His "Half-Character Song" has truly become a motto for life. "Having seen through half of the floating life, half of the benefits are boundless. Half of the years are leisurely, half of the world is wide. Half of the country, half of the country house, half of the mountains and half of the fields. Half of the farming, half of the classics, half of the scholar, half of the people's family. Half of elegance The utensils are half luxurious, the clothes are half plain and half fresh, the food is half rich and half frugal, the servants are half smart and half clumsy, the mood of the wife and children is half Buddha and half immortal, and the surname is half hidden and half revealed. Half of the world is left to me. I am half thinking about future generations and mulberry fields. I am half thinking about Yama. It is just right to drink half a cup of wine. The flowers are half blooming and the fans are half-way. The horses are half-reined and safe. Taste, half of it makes you tired of entanglement. A hundred years of bitterness and joy, only half of it will be advantageous." This is not only a summary of his life, but also an image experience to encourage the world. As the saying goes: Putting your fingers together and making a fist and closing your arms is to strike more powerfully. Half-compromising, half-compromising, roundabout ways to seek perfection, abandoning the weak to pursue the basics, and letting nature take its course are the greatest learnings in life.
