The sensitivity of the ancients to time is beyond the reach of today's people. In the writings of ancient literati, a hint of spring breeze has arrived, which is "the yellow bird is urged by the lady, and the sunny light turns to green apples"; A wisp of lotus fragrance in summer came, which was "the lotus wind sends the fragrance, and the bamboo dew drops are clear"; A drop of dew in autumn condensed, that is, "the dew is white from tonight, and the moon is the hometown of Ming"; A snowflake in winter is drifting, and it is "the end of the south of the Yin Ridge Show, the snow floating in the clouds". Each season has its own unique beauty, and moving with the times is the way to unite nature and man.
The reason why the ancients were so sensitive to time was because they knew that time was precious. In ancient societies, the pace of life was relatively slow, and time seemed endless. However, with the development of science and technology and the progress of society, the pace of modern life is getting faster and faster, and time is becoming more and more precious. In this case, the sensitivity of the ancients to time is particularly valuable.
The sensitivity of time is reflected in their keen observation of the changing seasons. In the poems of the ancient literati, we can see that their descriptions of the changes of the four seasons are so delicate and vivid. The arrival of spring is not only the rejuvenation of the earth and the revival of all things, but also the tenderness and sweetness in the poet's heart. The lotus fragrance and bamboo dew in summer, the bright moon and dew in autumn, and the snow scene in winter are all images used by the ancients to express the change of seasons. This keen observation and feeling of the changes of the seasons enabled the ancients to better grasp the rhythm of time and adapt to the changes of nature.
In ancient times, people's sensitivity to time was profoundly reflected in their actions and thoughts. Attention to the trivial things of life. In the poems of the ancient literati, we can see that they paid attention to the trivial things in life, such as "when the swallow comes, the pear blossom lags behind the Qingming", "the green ant brews new wine, and the red clay small stove". These seemingly ordinary trivial things of life were endowed with rich poetry and emotion by the ancients. This attention and understanding of the trivial things of life enabled the ancients to find a way to live in harmony with nature in their busy lives.
From the poems of the literati, we can see that they expressed their perceptions and thoughts on life through the depiction of time and seasons. For example, "the years do not live, the seasons are like flowing", "life must be happy, do not make the gold bottle empty to the moon". These poems not only express the helplessness and emotion of the ancients about the passage of time, but also express their pursuit and yearning for the value of life. This kind of thinking and understanding of the philosophy of life enabled the ancients to pursue eternal beauty in a limited life.
In this fast-paced era, modern people often ignore the value and appreciation of time. We are so caught up in trivial matters that we are too busy between work and life to pay attention to the seasons and the minutiae of life. This situation makes us gradually lose our sensitivity to time and love of life. Therefore, we should learn from the ancients, re-examine and appreciate the value of time, and make our lives more fulfilling and beautiful.
