Don't go too fast, don't drink too quickly. Slow down so that we can feel and listen to our inner world.
Let's go back to ancient times and explore the drinking philosophy behind Tao Yuanming's idyllic poems. This hermit poet in the history of Chinese literature is not only known for his poems about heavy drinking, but also conveys his unique views on life, good and evil.
In Tao Yuanming's life, wine is indispensable. He often drinks alone and sometimes with friends. His poems are full of love for wine and a zest for life. However, his drinking is not simply indulgence, but a unique interpretation and experience of life.
01 First Drink: Living in the moment, a heroic life
Suddenly, a bottle of wine, day and night.
These are the two sentences in Tao Yuanming's "Drinking" (Part 1), which means that since you get a pot of wine unexpectedly, then don't think about anything, just drink happily and rest when you get drunk.
02 The second glass of wine: Do not seek wealth, but seek peace of mind
Good and evil should not be allowed, what is the empty word?
These are two sentences in Tao Yuanming's "Drinking" (Part 2). One day, Tao Yuanming drank a little wine alone and began to think about a question: the ancients always said that good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil. However, judging from some stories in history, those who are good do not necessarily have good rewards;Those who do evil do not necessarily receive evil retribution. What is the rationale for this?
03 The third glass of wine: People who live real lives are inevitably lonely
Self-esteem, 40 years. The body has been turned into a corpse for a long time, and the heart is in the middle of what to say.
These are two lines of poetry from "Drinking Alone in the Rain". He said in his heart, I have lived to this age, I have worked as an official, planted land, suffered a lot, drank a lot of wine, and people are getting old, but Ren Zhen's heart has never changed.
04 The fourth glass of wine: Always compete with your peers, and don't judge with fools.
There are thousands of lines, who knows what is wrong and what is right. Right and wrong are dwarfed, and the same reputation is ruined. For more than three seasons, Dash seems to be unrepresented. is aggressive and evil, and should be from Huang Qi.
On this day, Tao Yuanming may have been stimulated by some kind of stimulation, and after he came back, he drank bitterly and expressed his feelings through wine.
He pondered why there were some evil things in this world that had become so arrogant as if it were the right thing to do, because of the blind obedience of most people. He thought that instead of theorizing about the existence of these evils, it was better to silently savor the ups and downs of life.
