Xu Zhimo said: "Simplicity is really noble."

Life is a journey Spiritual practice makes the heart strong and rich through tempering.

And this real wealth often comes from simplicity.

If you want to live a wealthy life, you must have an attitude of being content with simplicity.

The world is prosperous but simple.

We want to capture the grace of simple life in a chaotic world.

To be a human being, one must have a pure heart.

"Cai Gen Tan" says: "To be a human being, one must have a little pure heart."

When you are born as a human being, you should have a good heart. A pure heart is independent of the hustle and bustle of the world.

Wu Guanzhong, a great artist of his generation, has been using his works to depict his true feelings all his life.

Even though he is famous far and wide, it is not obvious how hurried his steps are and how extravagant his life is.

Wu Guanzhong jokingly called the small house where he lived for many years a "nest for laying eggs". Even the studio where he usually worked was not deliberately decorated.

Even the plumbers who came to repair the door were surprised by the almost simple room:

Wu Guanzhong once rejected the real estate tycoon’s idea of ??building him an independent small courtyard. He has unlimited pursuit of artistic creation, but has no greed for material life.

He still calmly gets his hair done at the barber stall downstairs, and still walks with his wife in the community downstairs every day. He still enjoys the quiet beauty of the years with a pure heart.

Wu Guanzhong was pure and devoid of desires throughout his life, and he lived up to his paintings, and finally painted a brilliant and brilliant picture of a simple life.

In the shackles of life, we are often choked by the smell of worldly fireworks, so that our souls are covered with worldly dust and forget our original simplicity.

"The Scholars", as the most representative satirical novel in the history of Chinese literature, depicts the image of abandoning one's true heart in the face of countless interests.

The author begins the first chapter by saying:

But Wang Mian is an exception.

Wang Mian, a poet in the late Yuan Dynasty, has always been reclusive and free-spirited. He devoted himself to avoiding officialdom and sticking to his true heart.

Knowing that the magistrate was coming to visit, he went out early to escape; during the war, he gave advice to Zhu Yuanzhang, but after the world was calm, he quietly retired without asking the monarch for an official position.

He saw clearly. He did not become an official or pursue fame and fortune, but continued to choose to live a free and happy life as a commoner in plain clothes.

He has a simple heart inside and a strong character outside. In his opinion, this kind of simplicity is the foundation for having a rich soul.

A person with a sincere heart is tranquil and far-reaching, can treat life with ordinary thoughts and a calm heart, can look down on fame and gain, and will not be imprisoned by vanity and flattery.

In this complicated world, only those with a sincere heart can see through things, comprehend the truth, deal with things in a mature and rational manner, and conduct themselves in an open-minded and wise manner.

If you can maintain a simple and quiet heart, you will actually have the richest life.

People are often tired of running around to make a living, stumbling across the country with their luggage on their backs, and finally suddenly realize that what they yearn for is just a simple land.

Keeping a pure land and a pure heart are the foundation of being a human being.

Making friends is the most valuable thing

Confucius said: "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water."

Water is light and tasteless, simple and unpretentious, but it always gives It gives people a feeling of purity and cleanliness.

True friendship should be as simple and pure as clear water.

Mr. Qian Zhongshu strongly advocated "free friendship". He once said:

Qian Zhongshu and Shen Congwen are "free friends" who respect each other and are considerate to each other.

The two families have little contact, but they have a deep friendship.

Once, a friend brought some new bamboo shoots and new tea from Shen Congwen's hometown, and Shen Congwen and his wife divided some of them and sent them to Qian Zhongshu's house.

When he arrived at Qian Zhongshu's house, he saw that the door was closed and the room was quiet. Shen Congwen knew that the couple must be reading in the room.

So, Shen Congwen and his wife waited outside the door. As a result, there was still no movement in the house until noon.

At this time, Shen Congwen put his things at the door, called Qian Zhongshu when he got home and said:

Qian Zhongshu may still be in the interest of reading at this time, so he He just replied calmly: "Okay, I'll get it right away."

Every spring from now on, Shen Congwen would send some new tea and spring bamboo shoots from his hometown, and also put them on the steps, and then go home Telephone notification.

Qian Zhongshu would sometimes give Shen Congwen some specialties from his hometown. Of course, his method of giving gifts was exactly the same as Shen Congwen's.

In the end, the two of them didn't even make any calls. As long as they saw something on the steps, they would know who sent it.

Such a simple but indifferent but tacit understanding of communication deepened the friendship between the two literary masters.

There is no harsh world, no interest constraints, only sincere and pure friendship between people.

True friendship is not to swarm you when you are dazzling, nor to add insult to injury when you are downcast, but to communicate with each other heart to heart, simple and simple.

If interests become the only criterion for interpersonal communication, then in the end, everyone will be on an island surrounded by interests.

Making friends with sincerity is not beneficial, and we must not let friendship become a slave to material things.

If we just meet fair-weather friends for the sake of fame and fortune, how long can such a friendship last?

Friendship should be as simple and pure as water, and must not be adulterated by interests.

Simplicity comes first in life

Zhou Guoping wrote in "The Philosophy of Life":

In the rolling world, we just need to have such a sense of indifference state of mind.

Yang Jiang is such a thoughtful, talented, indifferent and simple woman.

Yang Jiang experienced the Anti-Japanese War and the turmoil in the concession in his life. In such an era, no one could escape the temper of time.

But even so, Yang Jiang still treats this restless society with a simple and peaceful heart.

When supplies were scarce, she dismissed her servants, bought and cooked food herself, and took care of the housework, sharing the burden of life for her husband.

The most beautiful scenery in life is inner calmness and calmness.

Yang Jiang’s life is as quiet and simple as a chrysanthemum blooming in autumn. She does not fight for fame and wealth, and only seeks inner peace and stability.

Look at the world with simple eyes, and the flowers bloom and fall with sound;

Live in the world with a peaceful heart, and you can come and go freely.

Life is short, and a simple heart is the broad world worth pursuing.

Simplicity is a state of mind that can make people feel at peace in a colorful world.

But in the fast-paced society, people often forget the beauty of simplicity.

Today, with the emergence of Internet celebrities, Li Ziqi can be regarded as a breath of fresh air among Internet celebrities.

In Li Ziqi’s video, there are clouds of smoke and peaches and willows in the spring, melons and fruits in the shade in the summer, golden rice in the autumn, and snow everywhere in the winter. Everything is full of poetry and painting.

She is surrounded by smoke, flowers and trees, with two people in a house, three meals a day and four seasons, facing the world with the simplest lifestyle.

From the clay pots in the courtyard to the fence outside the courtyard, from sowing in spring to harvesting in autumn, from casually made gadgets to carefully prepared indigo dye materials, everything reveals the simplicity of antique style.

A mountain, a small house, and a vegetable garden. It is this simple and simple life that has made this girl named Li Ziqi famous on the Internet.

In the noisy city, Li Ziqi satisfies people's pursuit of simple life and cultural hometown.

In this era, Li Ziqi's small courtyard is like a paradise, where he has the interest of making wine with pine flowers and making tea with spring water.

In the final analysis, simplicity is the best principle in life.

Under the wind of pursuit of profit, if people do not pay attention, they will fall into the whirlpool of profit.

I used to live in poverty and always dreamed of the prosperous life in the city. Now I am tired of seeing the bustling lights and feasting every day, but I miss the green mountains and green waters in the distance more and more.

Sometimes simplicity means richness.

Stay simple and return to nature.

Developing a simple attitude will help you gain spiritual enrichment.

To be a human being, you must have a sincere heart and not be hypocritical in order to live a true life;

To make friends, you must have a sincere friendship without any impurities so that the true love will last forever;

In life, you have to reach a state where you can live comfortably without being burdened by material things.

Simplicity is a quality and a beautiful state of life.

There is no need to pursue luxury or too many material things. Simple and plain as water is enough.

Life is long, the world is in a hurry, and all the prosperity will eventually come to an end.
