While drawing the talent mandala, I opened Fan Deng to listen to books and listened to Fan Deng’s lecture on "Walden Pond". I was shocked by Thoreau's life philosophy, life skills, life mentality and rich reserve of humanistic knowledge.

Choose a secluded place not too far from the city. Choose a site, build your own simple but sturdy house with your own hands, open up wasteland yourself, and plant peanuts and soybeans. Be with everything in nature. Appreciate nature and integrate with nature. Every sound and every small scenery in the environment is a beautiful enjoyment in Rousseau's opinion.

Rousseau said that all people need is calories. I think this is absolutely right. By eating only enough food to provide calories, we can think and work. Thinking maintains our mental activities, and labor can maintain physical health and obtain calories through labor.

Life is originally simple, but our desires make it very complicated. Rousseau saw through this, and I was deeply moved.

This morning a thought came to my mind: We choose this dress, that dress, this pair of shoes, that pair of shoes for ourselves every day. Our bodies know the nobility and beauty of these things. Ugly? I think it doesn't know that even if we don't put anything on our body, our body will not protest, but our social rules will protest, so we must follow social rules.

Just live a simple life simply. Life is very simple. With sunlight, air, water and necessary food, we can live well. It would be better if you have a heart that understands life.

After listening to this book, I deeply feel that many times I am not living with my heart, but living with my desires.

When Zhu Zi said, "Get rid of human desires and preserve natural principles," does he also refer to Rousseau's minimalist lifestyle?
