Chinese literati 刘小川 1855Words 2018-03-18
Yuanming was furious.The messenger dog sent by Duyou to the front station squinted at him, expressionless, and urged him to be led on the road.He was on the road, but he didn't go out of the city to meet some leaders, but went back to his hometown, Shangjingli. This is an act of resignation, not even a paper of resignation.Some scholars pointed out that Yuanming had a heart of compassion for the peasants and could not complete the apportioned tasks assigned to him by his superiors, so he left.Fascinating the superior must bully the inferior, it is impossible for Yuan Ming to choose to oppress the common people.

He didn't linger at the county government office, but went around the sown public land several times. "Gui Qu Lai Ci" was written in this year, and it is a famous work through the ages. Come back, come back, will the wild huhu not return?Since your mind is a slave to your form, how can you feel melancholy and lonely?Aware of the failure to remonstrate in the past, know that those who come can be chased.It's not far from the real lost road, and I feel that today is right and yesterday was wrong!The boat floats away lightly, and the wind blows the clothes.Ask Zhengfu the way before, hate the dawn of the morning light.

Throughout the ages, countless people have recited this article.Hu Bugui: Why not?Where do they go?Return to human nature, return to the space between heaven and earth.What it expresses is the aspiration of all human beings to appeal to nature.Activities change into human form, and survival is inevitably distorted. People like Tao Yuanming always mark the height of humanity, the purity of blood, and the strength of aesthetics.It seems that all foreigners should learn Chinese, and it is worthwhile just to read Tao's poems. If a person wants to make a living, it is inevitable that "the mind is the slave of the body", and he cannot help himself.Some people can stand it, some people can't stand it, ancient and modern.Tao Yuanming went to the officialdom and was oppressed. He had to frown, there was no way for him.He also tried to stretch his brows and put on a smile, but it didn't work.So leave.His walk, "walking" out of masterpieces, reveals a typical situation in Chinese social life.Officials in ancient times would chant it no matter what their motives were.And because it is so classic, the state of mind of today's people is also within its scope.

We can't record the whole article, we can only excerpt sentences out of chapter: Nai Zhan Hengyu, Zai Xin Zai Ben.Boy servants welcome, children wait at the door.The three paths are deserted, but the pines and chrysanthemums still exist.Bringing children into the room, there are wine bottles. ...The garden is full of fun, and although the gate is set up, it is always closed. ... The cloud has no heart to go out of Xiu, and the bird knows to return when it is tired. …Happy to the love words of relatives, music and books to relieve worries.The farmer told Yu Yichun that something would happen to Xichou.Or order a towel car, or a lone boat, which is both slim and tall to find ravines, and also rugged to pass through hills.Mu Xinxin is prosperous, the spring trickles and begins to flow...

"Hangyu" refers to the family gate, and Yuan Ming in the yamen has missed it for a long time.Cifu was written in November.Yuanming resigned as the county magistrate and set off in the early morning. The preface said: "Lianchang is gone." Walking by water, there is a river in front of his house.He didn't bend his waist for five buckets of rice, took off his official uniform, and felt relieved, "carrying joy and rushing" along the way, almost singing and dancing.Why are you so happy?Because he made up his mind that he would never step into the officialdom.After holding his breath for thirteen years, he finally breathed out.It's not that he has a stubborn temper, like a stunned young man.At the age of forty, everything is clear: "Although the cold and hunger are severe, you will be sick against yourself." If you don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes, it's nothing more than suffering your body.Yuan Ming didn't want to blame anyone, but he knew himself.He was enveloped in joyous mood.

The cloud has no heart to go out of Xiu, and the bird knows to return when it is tired.Nature was presented to him, but those who are greedy for profit, busy with calculations all day long, how could they see this.What is Yun Wuxin?Just because people don't have the heart, they don't bother to use all the organs to count.There have been tens of millions of resigned officials in China in the past, but Tao Yuanming expressed his simple joy vividly through simple language.no way.No one can surpass him.Just like Su Shi wrote about the Mid-Autumn Festival, it has reached its peak.All those who still have conscience and sense of beauty, both inside and outside the officialdom, will thank him. It is he who established the value of human nature and aesthetic value.On the other hand, those proponents of computational thinking, although they have benefited, they also pay a heavy price: the loss of the joy of love.Love relatives and friends, love nature, love art.American philosopher Fromm wrote, proving that love is the wisdom of life that needs to be learned.Manipulating tricks and plotting is inevitably cruel and hard-hearted. Even if he builds a golden mountain or an empire, his logic will always be thrill-seeking, spinning in the circle of animal desires, and human happiness has nothing to do with him.Arteries harden, people turn into stone, happiness, joy, these emotions will disappear automatically.Can such people appreciate Tao Yuanming or Beethoven?In fact, what we call human beings has reservations.

Alas, God is fair, reality is cruel. The following year, 42-year-old Tao Yuanming wrote "Five Poems of Returning to Yuantian", which was regarded as the same by ancient scholars and everyone could recite it.One: There are few suitable vulgar rhymes, but sex originally loves hills and mountains.Falling into the dust net by mistake, it has been thirty years since then. The birds love the old forest, and the fish in the pond think about the old abyss.Opening up the wasteland and the southern wilderness, keep the humble and return to the garden. The square house is more than ten acres, and there are eight or nine thatched cottages.The back eaves of elm and willow shade, the front of peach and plum hall.

Dogs bark in the deep alley, chickens crow on top of mulberry trees.There is no dust in the courtyard, and there is leisure in the empty room. After being in a cage for a long time, I can return to nature. Judging from this poem, Sonoda's residence is quite good, belonging to the courtyard of a middle-class family.There are only seven people in the family, plus one or two servants, daily expenses are a problem. "Opening up wasteland and southern wilderness" should be described as realistic.Such a situation came about because of the housewife's hard work and good housekeeping.Even the poultry are alive and well, flying to the top of the mulberry tree.However, the current captive chickens can only flap their wings and act as if they are flying into the air.Yuanming himself said, what does it mean to fall into the dust net by mistake for thirty years?Contacting "Sexual Love Qiushan" may mean that he has lost his true nature since he was twelve or thirteen years old.He studied at a young age and was greatly influenced by Confucianism.He has the Confucian ideal of "great benefit to the common people", but he encounters warlords fighting.At the age of 20, I encountered a great famine, pests, drought, and rain, and worked hard in the fields, but I still couldn't fill my stomach. "In the past, I suffered a lot from hunger, so I went to study as an official." Yuanming was honest and wrote whatever he wanted.However, in the atmosphere of the times at that time, scholars generally talked about high-mindedness and chasing fame and fortune, but they made a set of high-sounding reasons, inaugural speeches, work reports, and big words and phrases emerged endlessly.It would be inappropriate for a person like Yuanming to go out to be an official and tell the whole story of his reasons for being an official and his "ideas".To him, it is very natural.
