Chapter 62 jade thought

⒈It's just a beautiful stone I have always disliked gemstones—but recently I have secretly liked jade. Gemstones are products of the West. A diamond is cut into thousands of hundreds of "facets", and the light shoots out from there. It is so fierce and beautiful that it is almost aggressive.I know I can't get over its brutality, but at least I can decide "I don't like it".Let it flicker on the Queen's Crown, let it be displayed at the exhibition with spotlights and rattlesnakes (anti-theft), I don't like it, it's okay! Jade is different. Jade is gentle. When explaining jade in early calligraphy, it only said: "Jade is the beauty of stone." It turns out that jade is just a stone, a bit of aura that suddenly stands out among many chaotic lives.Just like when Xu my child was listening to the old man talking about ancient times in the courtyard on a summer night, he suddenly had the idea of ​​prospering the world because of Hong Xiuquan's story, and Sun Yat-sen came into being.It is also like a group of children by the stream, everyone sees the lively little fish swimming upstream, but one of them falls into deep thought, thinking that people are in the world, and like this fish, they must swim against the waves in order to succeed. When I think about it, I have... The so-called great man is actually just the child who suddenly realized something in the game field.The so-called jade is just a stone that attains enlightenment by playing freely in the square of time.

2. Other than carat Diamonds have a price, one carat by one carat, like pork in a supermarket, each piece has a price tag that is reasonably measured. Jade is priceless, and there is no unit of value at all.Diamonds are like looking for a job, listing the academic experience and even the scores on the transcript one by one, so as to evaluate the position and salary.Jade is like love. How much love a woman can win depends entirely on the degree to which the other party is fascinated by her. There are not many rules to follow.Isaac Singer (Nobel Prize winner) said: "Literature is like a woman. She doesn't know why others like her and why she doesn't like her." In fact, jade certainly has its objective standards, its hardness, its Changying, softness, meticulousness, purity and engraving can all be discussed, but at the last moment when discussing jade, only the word "like" is left, and like is priceless. What you buy is not the price of carat but your own. Cherished mood.

⒊No mosaic required Diamonds cannot be worn unless they are inlaid. Of course, inlaying is also an art, but what about jade?Jade can also be inlaid, but it is unavoidably "overkill". Jade can be directly made into rings, bracelets and hairpins.As for jade pendants and jade pendants, all that is needed is the braiding of a silk rope. Using a section of entangled knots to tie the chest or waist is more solid than the cold and hard metal inlays. Ok? Jade that is not worn is also good. Jade can be played with, can be used as small utensils, can be used to scratch goodness in a humble way, and can also be used to symbolize wealth and auspiciousness. Dear jade, I think being a jade craftsman is probably more exciting than a diamond cutter. The world of jade is much bigger and richer. Jade is both in life and out of life. Jade is a celebrity and beauty. Xiang and Chuchen, Yu is also a chaimi couple, and they can live at home.

⒋ life and death When a person lives, the whole world lives with him—but when a person dies, who will die with him? In the middle ages, there was a simple and simple ancient drama called "Every Man". The god of death found the protagonist named Every Man and told him that the time of death was approaching, and he could not lend money, but allowed him to go with him.Everyone looks for "beauty", and "beauty" refuses to go with him. Everyone looks for "knowledge", and "knowledge" has no intention of going to the grave to accompany him. Everyone looks for "family affection", and "family affection does not care about him...

Of all things in the world, only human beings need funeral objects when they die, right?The reason is nothing more than the fear of loneliness, the burial of a living person is too cruel, and even the burial of a soldier's barrel is somewhat heartless, but death is such a lonely and strange road, if a woman to be married needs a "dowry" to definitely tie her In the first half of life, the natal family is waiting for the traveler, why don't they need to be "buried with him" to think about the years in the world? Perhaps the most lingering thing in the funeral objects is the cicada. The color of the cicada is translucent and thinner than the real one. As usual, it is contained in the mouth of the deceased and becomes the last. A word without sound, that sentence is saying :

"Today, I am buried in the ground, like a cicada's larva, don't be sad, this is not death, one day, life will be revived, will spread its wings, and will be like a cicada unearthed in summer..." Is that a sentence inserted by the living to comfort the dead?Or is it a sentence in the mouth of the dead to comfort the living?If that is a wish, is it considered an arrogant extravagant wish?If it's a lie, is it a beautiful lie?I don't know, I only know that Yu Hanchan's translucent bean green or earthy brown is like a thin film from life to death, and a trance letter from death to life, but life and death are things for a mortal woman like me What can be broken?And in this rainy afternoon, bow your head and stare at the jade-like cicada worn on your chest, which is knotted with flame-like red silk threads!

⒌Yu Si I was walking in the Yusi, and suddenly I saw a piece of wood that looked like a clod of soil, like a dry and frozen sad face, I stopped for a long time, and asked: "What kind of jade is this? How much is it?" "Do you understand jade?" There was a suppressed arrogance in the boss's expression. "Not longing." "Don't ask if you don't understand! My jade is only sold to those who understand." I should be angry and should have a heated argument with him, but for some reason, when encountering similar situations in recent years, I would rather just smile and walk away.Although I don't like his attitude, I don't like arguing even more, especially hate the "O'Rigan-style" debate competition in school, forcing people to ask questions sentence by sentence, it's not like human dialogue, arrogant and reckless to the extreme.

If you don't know jade, you shouldn't buy it or ask?How many people know the goods in the world?Confucius did not successfully sell his piece of beautiful jade all his life.Ruan Xiaoqi in the movie said: "If you are passionate, you only need to sell to those who know the goods!" Who is the hot-blooded buyer who knows the goods?Even the brilliance of sages and the blood of heroes are hard to sell, so what are a few pieces of jade?If you don't understand jade, you are not allowed to buy jade. Don't people who don't understand life have no right to live? Of course, the boss of Yusi is probably not a bad person, just a person who can't find anything to be proud of besides Yu's knowledge?

However, is this really a pity?Not necessarily, if I met a kind boss that day, he might explain it to me in detail, and I might buy that piece of jade on a whim, but, so what?It will be my little curio.But at this moment, it is my little regret, an unfulfilled dream, a relationship that has neither started nor will end. After so many years, if the boss of the jade restaurant asked me again today if I know jade, I think I would still answer that I don’t know, it’s too difficult to understand, and it’s enough to cherish the treasure.What's more, can you love if you understand?Don't political enemies who vilify each other in the campaign really know each other very well?Of course, if the mood is high, I might give him a note copied from "Shuowen Jiezi":

Jade, the beauty of stone, has five virtues Moisturize to warm, the formula of benevolence is also Gills from the outside, you can know the middle, the right side is also Its voice is comfortable, and it is specially used to hear from afar, and it is also the prescription of wisdom. Persevere and break, the way of courage is also Sharp and honest but not timid, the formula of cleanliness is also. However, for those who love jade, even the reason for making loud noises is superfluous.The matter of loving jade can be so simple that it is just a simple joy without knowing it.Like a baby who likes the feeling of the breeze blowing on the face, it is not necessary to study the direction of the airflow first.

⒍ defect When paying, the peddler repeated: "I'll sell you this agate, it can't be cheaper." I smiled and said nothing. He thought I didn't believe it, so he added: "Really—but there's a reason why it's so cheap, guess why?" "I know, it has spots." I didn't want to mention it at first, but was forced by him, so I had to say it, so as not to keep talking. " "Oh, so you can see that it is bad for things like jade to have spots. If this necklace has no flaws, wow, then the price will be incredible!" I took the necklace and walked away as quickly as possible.There are some things that I just want to say to myself carefully, intermittently, in a place where no one is around: How could I not see this string of spotted agates?Its markings are so clear. However, buying such a string of necklaces is out of a little chivalry of a woman, so why should you say that things with spots are not good?Isn't there a kind of crystal called "fajing"?Tigers have stripes, leopards have spots, who ever disliked that its coat is not pure enough? Even if we take a step back and say that the markings are a blemish, there are not many people here who can present blemishes so frankly, right?Any shortcomings that can be met with ease should not be counted as shortcomings. Pure and perfect things are artifacts that can be worshipped.But from a woman's point of view, men and children are lovely because of their obvious and undisguised flaws, right?Even if a person accepts and indulges himself, isn't he seeing his various minor problems and laughing them away? All flawless are the same—because all are pure and transparent, but the spots of blemishes have different faces.Some spots are like fresh moss, some are winding sand banks, some are lonely clouds walking alone, and some are iron chains across the river. Playing with it, it makes people feel happy.Thinking of lifelong friends, the same is true. If you can’t know one or two bad things about each other, and you can’t joke with each other about one or two ridiculous things, friendship will become empty, right? Sometimes I sit alone and savor the word "Xia", and I feel leisurely and far-reaching. The left side of the word "Xia" is the word "Jade", which means that there is jade before flaws!Just as there are beauties before the "beauty mole", there are heroes before the tragic flaw of the tragic hero.Deficiencies must be attached to perfection, and the only shortcomings are not beautiful at all. The sky is broken and the earth is missing, because the world is so beautiful, it can accommodate the smears of the transformation of repairing the earth and repairing the sky.Isn't the reason why a "bad boy" is cute precisely because he has the almost divine purity of a child when he acts coquettishly and unreasonably? To the right of Xia is 叚, which means scarlet red. The interpretation of Xia is "Yu Xiaochi". I like the sound of the word Xia, which has a calm and undisguised brightness. Perfection is hard to come by, so, in real life, please give me real jade with flaws, not fake jade with flaws. ⒎ unique It is said that there are no two pieces of jade that are the same in the world—I believe that those who carve jade are willing to repeat other people's creations. Therefore, the piece that belongs to me is unique in the world no matter how high or low it is.Therefore, I love it and cherish this fate. There are thousands of jade in the world, but I happened to meet this one. There are thousands of people who love jade in the world, but it happened to meet me, but the gathering between us was only fifty year?Who was the last person to wear jade?There are some things that you can neither think about nor envy, you can only cherish the hasty years of belonging and connection in peace. live People who admire jade always believe that jade is alive. They say: "If you want to wear jade, Dai Dai will come alive!" Is it true?Or is it just a legend? I don't know if I can wear a piece of jade alive. It will take time to prove it. Maybe decades of skin-to-skin contact can really make the jade have blood and breath again.But if miracles can be prayed for, I am willing to be the one who comes alive first, my clean texture, my dense firmness, my beauty and warmth, my magnificent texture, and my clear voice spread far and wide.If jade can be revived by wearing it, let it also be revived by wearing it!Let me shine and warm every moment, like the half-window sunlight in the winter morning. ⒐Nostalgia of the Stone Age The myth that interweaves people and jade, jade and people into one is, it is also called, in the group of stones that mend the sky, the protagonist is an extra piece of the 36,500 yuan, and over time, it has become a common stone. Ling Baoyu is destined to come to the world to experience a catastrophe of love. His opponent was the familiar Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass. That jade is a symbol of men and a nostalgia for the entire Stone Age.The grass is the sign of a woman, and the remembrance of Zhenzhen's vast wild forest. In Mr. Jing'an's interpretation of jade, it is probably not wrong to say that "jade" means "desire", right?Names with the character jade in them always have their extraordinary owners, like Baoyu, Daiyu, Miaoyu, and Hongyu, each with their own different desires in life.It’s just that desire can be interpreted as want in English, it’s a kind of uneasiness, a need, a lingering lingering feeling, the desolation of the happiest moment, the regret of the most perfect moment, it’s because I don’t understand it. The anxiety is the greed of wanting to hold the whole spring and leave all the peach blossoms behind, it is the swing between Dachedawu and Dazhanlian. The mythical world is always rich and cold, so the mythical characters always find a prop or companion to accompany them. If the dragon does not spit out pearls, Chang'e has no jade rabbit, Li Dan loses the green ox, and if the old man leaves, he will be amazed. The donkey or Magu lost the fairy peach, and Sun Wukong handed back the golden cudgel, and the mythical figure really didn’t know how to use his skills——If Jia Baoyu didn’t have that piece of jade, he could only be in the American fairy tale "The Oz Fairy" The "Mindless Man" Odis. "People are not wood and stone, who can be ruthless", those who say this only see the appearance of things, and the affection and righteousness in the world of wood and stone are beyond the knowledge of us mortals. ⒑ Yulou If you want to know about diamonds, there are gemological schools in the world to read, and there are certificates to prove your identification ability.But if you want to know jade, and be yourself quietly, and recognize jade in the warmth of skin and hair, exquisite joints, clear eyes, cohesion of will, and clearness of speech and smile!Jade is me. The so-called civilization is actually the process of turning stone into jade, that is, the history page of changing from a flesh and blood body to a "human being". Taoism regards the eyes as the "silver sea" and the shoulders as the jade building. If you want to come to the fairy house, the jade building is not as expensive as the shoulder blades that can carry morality on one shoulder in the world, right?Love jade so much, I'm afraid it's just turning back to oneself, right?
