The deceased is like a husband, this is the ancient people's lament for the impermanence of life. Confucius said by the river: "The deceased is like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night." "The river keeps flowing, as short as life is. Each of us is experiencing birth, old age, sickness and death, and the process of life is like a river, constantly flowing.
This is a description of the destiny of life. In ancient times, people often buried their bodies in mountains and forests, because mountains are a symbol of eternity. When a person's life ends, his body is placed in the mountains and forests as if it were being held, and he is one with nature.
Taken together, these two sentences express the ancients' view of life. Although life is short, we should cherish every moment and constantly strive to pursue our dreams and goals. At the same time, we should also realize that the destiny of life is eternal, and we should not forget our roots and where we came from.
In modern society, people tend to focus only on immediate benefits and happiness, and ignore the true meaning of life. We should learn from the wisdom of the ancients, cherish life, pursue truth and kindness, and make our lives more meaningful.
In short, these two sentences remind us of the importance of cherishing life and pursuing truth and kindness. We should seriously think about the meaning and value of our lives and contribute to our future and the progress of society.
