Chapter 43 What I want is loneliness, not loneliness

What I want is loneliness, not loneliness ——Heming in Jiugao, the sound is heard in the wild The crane mingled in Jiugao, and its sound was heard in the wild.Fish dive into the abyss, or lie in Zhu.In the garden of Lebi, there are sandalwood trees, and beneath it are Weijue.A stone from another mountain can be wrong. The crane cries in Jiugao, and its sound is heard in the sky.The fish lies in Zhu, or dives into the abyss.In the garden of Lebi, there are sandalwood trees, and the hub below it.Stones from other hills, can learn. —— "Xiaoya · What the Wild Goose is Like · He Ming"

I hear friends complaining about hard work and difficult livelihoods. I don’t know why I work hard all year round, but some people can get something for nothing and live a good life.Naturally, I am sympathetic, but sometimes when I think about it, not only do the same people have different fates, but the same birds also have different fates.Take cranes and owls as examples, one gets something for nothing, and the other gets nothing for nothing.Cranes are born with an elegant appearance and a noble temperament. People stalk them when they pose and walk on the catwalk; Birds, grab the birds and eat them.It's really worse than Dou E.

Beauty is sometimes a sin and a disaster, but more often it is a kind of happiness, being pitied by others.Although a beautiful woman also has the fear of fading and falling in love, she is still happier than an ugly woman who is deprived of the right to expect.Crane, with its unworldly beauty, not only bid farewell to notoriety, but also bid farewell to the hard work of day and night, and even the death she brought, people find it easy to accept.Crane crest red, become the most beautiful poison in the world. Cranes appear from time to time in the Yuyu fairyland of Buddhism and Taoism, carrying the immortals away, and the lonely figure disappears between the clouds and the water. At the moment when "the yellow crane is gone and never returns, the white clouds are empty for thousands of years", even the sin of subjugation is easily forgotten by people.It is not a seductive woman, just like an innocent child, with the carefreeness of a fairy family, fortunately avoiding the slash of history.

Li is still willing to use it as a good minister and use it to prosper. "He Ming" is like this. Saying goodbye to the doting king who dotes on them and doesn’t know the so-called subjugation, he is still so clean that his white clothes are like snow, like a person who has withdrawn from the rich and rich and colorful flowers, no longer looking back at his previous life.Even if it lives among the waters, it doesn't look depressed, and the voice is still clear and loud, and it can go straight into the sky. Therefore, its indifference is favored by recluses.The crane should be the closest bird to the hermits of all dynasties in China. It watched them cook tea and wine, falling flowers into chess, infinitely chic and infinitely lonely.It recognized the faces of Zhong Ziqi, Ji Shuye, Tao Yuanming, Meng Haoran, Lin Junfu, and Wang Mian.They are true hermits; and there are some, like Fan Li, Cao Cao, and Zhuge Liang, who either "live in seclusion to seek their aspirations", or "go to danger to seek safety", they are scholars between hermits and court scholars. Yes, the heart is not hidden.

In the preface of "Book of the Later Han Yimin Biography", Fan Ye divided hermits into six types: 1. Living in seclusion in pursuit of one's ambition 2. Avoid all the way 3. Quiet yourself to calm your anger 4. Going out of danger to seek safety Five, dirty vulgar to move its general 6. Obsessiveness is used to stimulate its purification Needless to say, Zhuge Liang is a typical rare commodity, and he can be called the earliest person with advertising awareness.Cao Cao is a hermit. This assertion may confuse many people, but in fact it is.Cao Cao used to be a small capital official like "Luoyang Northern Order" in his early years, but he resigned soon and built a house behind the mountain in his hometown to live idle. Following every move in the court, he knew the current situation well, and waited for the opportunity to come out of the mountain.Sure enough, when his relative He Jin came to power, he was recruited by the court again, and he became one of the "Eight Captains of Xiyuan" at the center of the army. up.His seclusion seems to be retreating, but it is actually a means of seeing through the situation and using retreat as an advance.Cao Cao's seclusion is the best interpretation of "living in seclusion to seek his ambition".

A class of scholars with the purpose of "living in seclusion to seek their aspirations". They seek fame secretly, are scheming and even almost cunning, and often win a wide social reputation. In order to return to hermits, they have followed two paths that are completely opposite to those of hermits. The ultimate goal of their retreat is not to be a hermit, but to be an official, and for a more prominent official. Therefore, they have long been unable to be classified as hermits. Yes, they are scholars, scholars who are mixed with power. The same is true of Xie An in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.During the period of Emperor Jianwen, civil strife was frequent, powerful enemies oppressed the country, and the Sima family was precarious.Xie An, who became a monk, was recognized as magnanimous enough inside and outside Zhen'an, but Xie An himself "had no place in the world", and he was determined not to be an official.Xie An lived in Dongshan in seclusion, just waiting for the most suitable time. It is ridiculous that the scholar-bureaucrats at that time were still worried: "An Shi refuses to come out, what will happen to the common people!" On the contrary, he is not as insightful as Emperor Jian Wen.

Although Emperor Jian Wen was a wimpy emperor, he had been trembling for two years in power, fearing that he would be dethroned by Huan Wen, who monopolized the power.But although he has no strategy to help the world, he has the understanding of people.Although Xie An indulged in the hills and valleys, indulged in forest springs, and sailed in the sea, it seems that "it is not far to go to Boyi Shuqi", but every time he goes out to enjoy, he always brings prostitutes to accompany him. According to this, Emperor Jianwen asserted : "Anshi will come out." The reason is: "If you share the joy with others, you also have to share the sorrow with others."

It is impossible for a sensual person to really retreat, even if you have the emotion of "the great river goes east to the sea, the romantic person of the ages, the west of the old base", if you don't give up your passion and impulse, you will not be reconciled to the ordinary life. Kong Ming's "indifferent to clear ambition, quiet and far" has become empty talk. A real hermit hides not his body, but his heart.But this is different from the mind-cultivation emphasized in "Buddhism", because hermits are scholars first, and the blood of "Confucianism" flows in their bones. They are cultural people, and they have their own cultural personality, so their hearts cannot be empty space, they cannot become Buddhas, they are pursuing, pursuing a pure cultural atmosphere.Among the six types of hermits mentioned above, the four types of hermits who "avoid to complete the way", "quiet oneself to calm the impetuosity", "defile the vulgar to move the concept", and "excite the obsession to clean up" follow this path. road.They are the hermits, the real hermits, the pure hermits.

As a hermit, only by "moving his concept" and "exciting his cleanliness" can he "suppress his impetuosity", and only by "suppressing his impetuosity" can he "fulfill his way". These four points are complementary and mutually reinforcing. Causally, it is neither possible nor realistic to separate them completely.They are a group, a cultural group. Their existence represents the alternative cultural tendency and cultural character in the society. They are the alternative cultural people in the society. There are hermits, and there are bound to be hermits, just like the supply and demand of commodities. "Crane Ming" is the ancestor of our country's Zhaoyin poetry.Throughout the article, metaphors, cranes, fish, sandalwood, and stones are all metaphors for sages in the field.

The whole poem is translated into vernacular as follows: Cranes screamed and swamped nine bends, and their voices were loud and clear to the sky.Fish lurk in the abyss, and some swim to the shallows.I love that good forest garden, with sandalwood growing in it and jujube trees below.There are beautiful stones on other mountains, which can be used to cut jade and diamonds. Cranes screamed and swamped nine bends, and their voices were loud and clear to the sky.The fish swim to the shallow water, and some hide in the abyss.I love that good forest garden, with sandalwood growing in the garden, and mulberry trees underneath.There are beautiful stones on other mountains, which can be used to cut jade to show its brilliance.

I like that this poem has the artistic conception of Tao Yuanming's idyllic poems, peaceful and peaceful. If this ideal small garden is built, it can definitely be regarded as a real version of a private peach blossom garden.However, what I like even more is the clear and bright atmosphere of this poem. Whether it is the opening line "The crane roars in Jiugao, and the sound is heard in the wild" or the conclusion line "The stone from other mountains can be used to attack jade", they are all written with integrity and grandeur. People respect. Other mountains refer to foreign countries.Although the concept of this country seems very small to modern people, it is only a mere hundred miles away.But it was also a clear political divide at the time.However, in China, in such a distant era, some sages have put forward the concept of "stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade", which means that when appointing talents and seeking talents, don't care about external factors: what is he? Man, where is he from?Even if it is beautiful jade from other mountains, as long as it is suitable for use, we should carve it out. Such a selfless atmosphere is rare in Chinese literati poems, and it is also rare among Chinese people.People in Gein country are accustomed to "private important places, please do not trample on them", even if they "eat at the same table, they must practice separately", and to unite to form factions must have actual interests.Cooperation is really cooperation, with stronger economic awareness than foreigners. Words such as "stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade" are also exploited, without the original magnanimity and sincerity. There are often forbidden places in martial arts novels. If people who trespass into the forbidden place do not die, they usually will not return empty-handed. Gein people will hide their secrets. The more they hide in the forbidden place, the more precious they are. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although the concept of a country existed, it had to be blurred due to the chaos of war and the dark and changeable situation.The loyalty of scholars was also broken.They migrate around like birds that have lost their homes, and they don't care much about the so-called sense of belonging and integrity of later generations of scholars, but wherever they are suitable for survival, where there are famous masters and opportunities, they will vote for them, like Le Yi is from Zhao, but he is King Yanzhao Zhang Yi was a native of Wei, but went to Qin to be his chancellor; Kong Qiu and Meng Ke kept up with the trend of the times in their actions, although they kept saying that they upheld the orthodoxy of kingship.They don't give up their minds, playing with loyalty and integrity, on the contrary they are very sensible, this family cannot be transferred to another family, and they will never hang themselves on a tree. "At that time, there was Emperor Zhou, and people talked about Wei Qi about everything." This is the portrayal of their behavior.The poor later Jingsheng was blinded by the dusty sage's brilliance of old papers and ignored the most obvious truth. There is no opposition party in China, but there have been many wise men who have been in opposition since ancient times.History has repeatedly proved that if the incumbent does not have the tolerance to use talents in an eclectic manner, the biggest loss is still himself. There is a very common saying that there is nothing that cannot be bought.I agree.People's hearts and emotions can be bought, but this is not bought with money, but with sincerity.You get what you want in exchange for it.If you want to obtain the death-defying allegiance of a wise man, you must exchange for the same or even more trust and understanding. No matter how indifferent a hermit or a person who has no desires, he also hopes to get real understanding and recognition, such as a crane that can sing freely in Jiugao, and the sound can be heard in the wild and in the sky. ——Also there must be flowing water to meet the high mountains.
