Chapter 24 Tao Yuanming Jiu

The flat field meets the distant wind, and the oily green wheat seedlings welcome the renewal of Vientiane. ——Pingchou communicates with distant winds, and good seedlings are also cherished.Su Dongpo pondered these two sentences over and over again, calling them good and good, and writing banners to give away, countless.Changed into Heidegger's language, it expresses the "obscure joy" of plants. This state is difficult for any science to care about. Only poetry and thinking can capture the souls of animals and plants. Yuanming knows the sprouting of things and the joy of things with his true nature.He once criticized the current world: "The true wind dies, and the great hypocrites flourish." "Si" is a modal particle, and the hypocrites are all over the world, especially in officialdom.For him, the fake has no trace, and the truth disappears.And we happen to read him in a "false" context, to make him appear real.Hayes famously said: Evil is the evil of good.Yuanming pointed out to us: what is true and what is false is what is true.The true, the good and the beautiful, the false, the evil and the ugly, are dialectically interdependent.

Yuanming's true disposition points to all false things. The wheat seedlings in the early spring can't see the harvest of the year. Doesn't the boundless fresh green make the plowing people and the good seedlings happy together?When the sun goes down, go home together, drink a few cups to relieve fatigue, neighbors have good wine and good words, and spend money into the night.The poet chanted to conceal the chaimen: Let’s be like this in this life, be a farmer between ridges and acres. No one can blame Yuanming's choice.He paid the price: none of his five sons was successful. "Although there are five sons, it's not good for pen and paper." When he saw his friend's child's face was rosy, he realized that his son was malnourished.The eldest is lazy, the second is hard to learn, and the fifth only knows how to find something to eat... There are five willow trees beside the house, and five children in front of the hall.Yuan Ming has nothing to say.Perhaps when he resigned as the county magistrate, he had already thought of this.He tried his best to remedy it.However, the world is also unpredictable, and there are many examples of being an official who invites disaster.In the troubled times at the end of Jin Dynasty, friends today will be enemies tomorrow, and those who swear in the morning will turn their backs at night.It is already a great achievement for Yuanming to save the lives of his family.

The fighting in Xunyang stopped, and Yuanming moved back to his hometown in Shangjingli. He was about forty-nine years old. Shangjingli is five miles away from Chaisang County, and the old house has been in dilapidation for six or seven years.Yuanming runs a private school and collects some money to supplement his family.He's done it before.Nancun doesn't seem to work. There are many simple people and few rich people.After all, Chaisang is a county seat, and the children of the rich can pay the school fees.But Yuanming is a straightforward person, and he takes it seriously when someone pretends to be poor.Private schools are small in scale and have limited income.He likes wine, but he accepts a lot of wine.Zhai hid his wine and restricted him to two jugs a day.But when guests came, she couldn't stand her husband's begging and told her where the wine was hidden.There is a friend named Yan Yanzhi who can write poems and become an official. He traveled to Chaisang for a short stay, and went out of the city to visit him every day and drink happily.Yan Yanzhi was about to leave, and went to Guilin, Guangxi to work as a guard. He left 20,000 yuan, but stayed in the restaurant to avoid Yuanming's wine bill.Twenty thousand yuan is enough for Yuanming to drink for two years, he is very happy.In Shangjingli and Chaisangcheng, he is a celebrity.He is often barefoot, wears a Gejin hat, and has a wine gourd around his waist.When entering the city, the children will be watching.He is very popular and behaves abnormally, and his year of destiny is famous all over the world.There was a monk named Huiyuan, who exchanged letters with the emperor, and wanted to make friends with Yuanming, but Yuanming was indifferent.Huiyuan sent someone to Shangjingli to invite him, but please do not move.Liu Chaisang was entrusted by Huiyuan to invite him again, but Yuanming went and only drank, refusing to join any association organized by the monk.The two sides were unhappy, Yuanming turned around and left.People with simple hearts and people with mixed hearts cannot get together.This story was spread by word of mouth, and a group of young hermits imitated his appearance. They also wore Gejin hats and hung wine gourds, but they pretended to be the imperial court in their hearts.Yuanming just laughed it off and didn't tell the truth.

"The quiet garden is good, but the world is good." The world refers to officialdom.Yuanming would not commit suicide, he lived a very good life. He was entertaining guests at the wine shop, and everyone was in a mess, and the cups and dishes were messed up.He also drinks alone at home.The old house is very big. Although it has been in disrepair for a long time, it is full of spring flowers and autumn chrysanthemums.Xiao Tong said: There is wine in Yuanming's poems, but the meaning is not wine. Where is the wine?Xiao Tong is the prince of the Liang Dynasty, looking at Yuan Ming's eyes, he can't escape the ruling and opposition mode.Yuanming drank as often as he drank, so there was no meaning to it.Wine is a stimulant, and art is also a stimulant. "Poetry and wine take advantage of their youth." Chinese poets drink alcohol, and Yuan Ming is the pinnacle.Ruan was more than a hundred years older than him, he drank more than him, and was often as drunk as mud.This is not the case with Yuanming. He is also drunk, but he can still write poems and observe the scenery around him when he is drunk.

"Although the cup is exhausted alone, the pot pours itself when the cup is exhausted. When the day comes, the group moves and rests, and the returning birds sing in the forest." This poem has a Zen flavor.The poet can feel the rhythm of life better by watching quietly.Inspired by him, Su Shi wrote a famous sentence: "Quietness leads to mass movement, and emptiness makes it possible to accommodate myriad realms." ——Because of stillness, he understands mass movement in his heart.Because of the emptiness, everything is brought into the fundus of the eye. In 416 AD, Tao Yuanming, who was fifty-two years old, wrote "Twenty Poems on Drinking Wine". For entertainment, there is a lot of paper and ink...Talking about ordering the old man to write it, I thought it was laughing."

Where did the famous wine come from, he didn't say.He doesn't talk about any brand, otherwise, people today will use it as a brand, and it will not be inferior to Moutai.The season is at the turn of spring and summer, with long days and short nights.There is a lot of famous wine, and he drinks it every night, which shows that he likes to drink in the evening, until the night falls and the sky is full of stars.His handwriting was scribbled, and his old friend sorted it out and changed the paper to write.He was very chic with all his wits and thoughts, thinking that the momentary laughter had no meaning of passing on to the world.But the old friend collected for him, presumably there is such a consideration.Yuanming wrote poems just for fun, and he didn't publish them.Keats, the great British poet, wrote and threw away at will. Most of his handed down works were picked up by friends on the ground.Including painters and musicians, the list goes on and on.Good poetry is like a gust of wind blowing in the wilderness, and the wind passes without a trace.Many thanks to Yuan Ming, who organized and wrote twenty poems, all of which are excellent works.Among them, the fifth poem is regarded as a sacred product by later poets, and can only be read after burning incense and bathing.This poem is as clear as spoken language, reflecting Yuanming's usual style.

Jielu is in a human environment, without the noise of cars and horses.Ask the king how can you, the heart is far away from the side.
