In life, unpleasant times often account for the majority. At this time, how to solve your inner depression, whether to let depressed emotions erode your life or to face it with a more positive attitude.
A pure, honest, sincere and soulful person sometimes suffers unexpected hardships, insults and persecution, and falls into a desperate situation that seems to be despised by others. In the end, the true light cannot be submerged forever, but it must be recognized by everyone, so that its flame can shine on the whole world and get the respect and love it deserves.
When a person is lonely, his thoughts are concentrated and his feelings are sincere. Li Taibai, Bai Juyi, Su Dongpo, Xin Jiaxuan and other great poets you admire are our favorites. Everything feels the same way, which is also a kind of enjoyment. When you are depressed and lonely, more contact with the great poets of our motherland can relieve your troubles and give you warmth.
Writing down your thoughts is very different from dreaming in your head. Writing down requires correct and accurate thinking, so introspection on paper is particularly profound, and I am also impressed. This also proves that your sensitivity is extremely fast. However, there are good and bad, long and short in the world. People who often feel fast can't immerse themselves deeply and can't last long. But at least you have to admit that it is true that you are not easy to be "firm and persistent". I especially remind you now, I hope you will always be vigilant, don't let new feelings float on the surface of feelings, but carefully analyze the differences between new feelings and your original thoughts and emotions. This requires calm and strong intelligence to analyze clearly. Slowly, you will develop another kind of mood to deal with the past, and then you can remember it instead of being thrilling, and you can calmly and objectively analyze the cause and effect, and make reference for the future, so as not to repeat the same mistakes. It is difficult for a person to dare to face up to reality and mistakes, rationally analyze and understand thoroughly, so as not to be eroded by memories ... I mentioned my feelings to you in my letter before, just to let you treat this matter as the ashes in your heart, and you can't help feeling a lot when you look at it, but don't hurt yourself with deep memories, but cherish your heart like an ancient battlefield.
Theory and practice are absolutely inseparable, and learning must be combined with real life. Marxism–Leninism is not an abstract philosophy, but a very realistic and concrete philosophy. It is not only the guiding theory of social revolution, but also the foundation of life philosophy. It is the study of ordinary people, completely for the sake of learning. So when it comes to theory, materialism, dialectics, criticism and self-criticism, etc. You can make a long speech. When you meet something practical, when you sit at your desk, or go to a factory room, you will forget all the theories in the countryside ... Since everything is changing and death is the constant, why should you miss the past, hurt yourself and poison the beautiful sunshine in front of you? ……
If you are upset and can't sit down and write letters, can you think of writing letters to comfort your parents? At first, we were reluctant to write, but after writing more than three or four pages, I believe your heart will calm down and become naturally happy. I want to write it down automatically. Telling you this method will not only make you write more letters, but also eliminate temporary boredom. People always have to push themselves, and they can't solve the problem without pushing.
A person's brain won't be systematic until he starts writing. After a long time, it will fade away. Isn't it a pity? For this reason, I often force you to write more letters, which is also very important: the training of rational understanding. I have repeatedly asked you to normalize your life and learn to standardize it. How can informality last? How can you make achievements without lasting? How can we consolidate the existing achievements? And it takes a long time to digest, chew and absorb the works.
A person is too smooth, and it is easy to get carried away unconsciously. When I went out this time, I often felt a sense of pride because I was called the leader of the model association. Suddenly found that I immediately pressed down. But this has happened more than once. It can be seen that a person can't relax his struggle for a moment.
What you practice, your artistic experience and accomplishment will always be your own. Appearing one day earlier and one day later has nothing to do with real artistic accomplishment …
Over the past year, I have often drifted outside and met many people. I always feel that there are too few people who have passion and brains for their careers. It is rare to see people who seek truth and progress instead of utility. ... especially regulatory policies ... in which praise is far more than criticism. To demand true democracy, everyone must consciously and constantly struggle. And we are still far from this step. There are many people in society who complain behind their backs, don't say a word to their faces, and even come up with a set of compliments.
I deeply feel that leaders pay less attention to music than to sports ... There is a deputy prime minister in charge of sports in the State Council, but which deputy prime minister is in charge of music? The Central Committee doesn't understand that winning an international music award is much more influential than winning several third and fourth prizes at the Olympic Games ... When Mozart's memorial concert was held in Beijing, President XXX said that Mozart was rich in the spirit of French revolutionary democracy, which was really puzzling. We only like to buckle hats and encourage people to wear tall hats, regardless of whether the hats are suitable or not.
Although life is so cruel, we should try our best to live our own life, giving people less pain and more happiness. After all, I still hold the hope that "Ning Tian's servants will bear me and I will bear the heart of the world".
Several of our friends get together once every two weeks, and a small academic meeting will give a speech, then have tea, talk about the current situation and exchange news. At that time, we were most depressed, but we were not depressed, but created a healthy little world for a friend to hide.
The Writers Association criticized Dad's Association for 30 times and made three reviews before and after. For the last time, it's progress. Dad said he used to look at people's good places, especially for powerful old friends. He didn't know that people were not that simple until he was 50. Old friends will betray their friends, make suggestions at will, even spread rumors and even bite back.
I know your personality, and I can imagine your environment. You are always compassionate, even if you don't take the initiative, you will inevitably be proud of your vanity. This is human nature, especially for artists, so you need to be more vigilant ... If you want to find a permanent partner, you must think more rationally, otherwise you will be cheated by your feelings! As soon as you get married, your lover's eyes change, and you won't believe it yourself. If you don't think of this in advance, your heart will bring endless pain.
During the emotional period, you will not only be deaf, incoherent and unable to see each other clearly, but also unconsciously show only the good aspects, hide your shortcomings and remain calm. Another advantage is that you won't neglect your career, or affect your homework, or waste your time or damage your health, or encounter big or small twists and turns to disturb your mood.
The so-called calmness is not only superficial actions, especially the heart and mind. Secondly, people are the most complicated animals, and observation must not be simplified, but must be patient, meticulous and in-depth. After a long time, on various occasions. ... the problem is not to find a partner without shortcomings, but to find a partner who can recognize each other's shortcomings, admit each other, be willing to change gradually, and tolerate each other at the same time.
In short, everything can't be urgent. The more important it is, the calmer it is, the more serene it is, the closer it is, and the more objective it is! It's easy to be helpless when feelings reach their peak. The peak (or climax) of anything can only last for a short time, but long-term friendship is hard to last. In addition to their strengths and weaknesses, their personality and temper are important factors that are congenial, and the differences between soft and hard should be compatible with each other. The so-called stand the test refers to a lot of tangible criticism and self-criticism (the response to people's every move is intangible criticism)
According to my experience, elegance and vulgarity are often innate, and the transformation of the day after tomorrow can rarely raise the low to the high. Therefore, in the process of communication, we should pay attention to whether the other party has something better than ourselves, which will help me to make progress in the future and will not make me retreat in turn.
During making friends, try to give less gifts and spend less money. On the one hand, it shows your love concept and has little involvement in material relations; On the other hand, it is also a test for each other.
Don't be too hard on your life partner, just like everything in life. I think the most important thing is good nature, gentle temperament and open mind.
The other person regards you as her whole world, which is very dangerous, but also very valuable! Now that you have found out, wake her up slowly. You'd better insinuate rather than point it out directly, so that she can feel that this is to safeguard her personality independence and expand her world outlook.
Both men and women can only be happy and feel alive if they focus on their career, study and art and try to put aside their ego.
It can be seen that only calm, implicit and gentle feelings can last. On the other hand, it means that the relationship between lovers is completely a relationship of knowing yourself and yourself, which is what we call a lifelong partner. Both parties can deeply understand this before marriage, which will make up the most reliable foundation for the future and avoid many unnecessary misunderstandings and pains.
People are insignificant in the universe, but for others, they are mysterious and unique, so it is quite difficult to understand a person thoroughly, and it is even more difficult because of the differences in race, religion, culture and political background. Only through thorough understanding, full tolerance, constant forbearance, sincere feelings, consistent outlook on life and lofty ideals and beliefs can a couple survive all kinds of storms safely in the journey of life, or be harmonious lifelong partners of the piano and the harp.
Only when artists of different races can inject some new blood without damaging the integrity of a special art can the world culture become richer, more complete and more brilliant.
People need to jump out of their own thinking from time to time in order to have new feelings, new views and more correct self-criticism.
At the same time, I also think that it may be harmful for performers to immerse themselves too much in music and work too much. The consciousness of pursuing perfection is too strong and clear, which will cause tension and fatigue. Instead, it hindered the original results. Might as well reduce some work and increase some meditation. Might as well go for a walk in the forest in the suburbs, or go to the museum to enjoy famous paintings and seek peace and leisure from the plastic arts.
Friends' help, care and love for us are not necessarily material, but often need to write a letter to make them happy and feel that life is full of warmth. Be a man first, then an artist, then a musician, and finally a pianist.
But if an artist is the most beautiful flower and life is flowers and trees, the material side of life may not be as important and palatable as the spirit and the other side, especially for an artist.
It is an open-minded behavior to pay attention to social problems and human sufferings and mourn the ugliness of human society. Therefore, it is natural for a sensitive young man to be indignant at the injustice and misery of human destiny, but it is undesirable and unnecessary to feel unhappy about it.
I think Dunhuang murals represent the true spirit of China's painting. Except for some paintings that are obviously influenced by Indian art, those paintings that depict fragments of daily life are really extraordinary. They are ingenious in creation, meticulous in observation and bold in technique. These paintings are made by unknown painters from generation to generation.
I often chat with my mother to express my thoughts on life and art, which often makes me unconsciously sort out a small clue of my selfish thoughts. At this point alone, your mother is really helpful, though not out of her own initiative. It can be seen that many life-long partners help each other completely unconsciously.
I believe that the mental state of modern Europeans would never have been so complicated if Christian thought hadn't ruled two nations 13400. Even if it is complicated, it is another nature. Our sense of life and death is almost the same. We have never had that kind of anxious expectation and pursuit of longing for heaven, and we have never had the fear of falling into hell forever. Therefore, our accidental injury is only due to biological instinct, not many blissful and horrible things created by our feverish minds. On the one hand, we tempt ourselves.
Most ethnic groups in China are peaceful, indifferent and simple, which are easier to satisfy than westerners. Our nation has always advocated wisdom, and the ideal of China people is to pursue wisdom rather than faith.
He also has strong principles of helping others. Even his close friends refused to accept any improper use. Anyone who is really in trouble but is used for a proper purpose is willing to help strangers.
I don't strive for profit, but I don't want to be exploited. I can't help arguing under such circumstances. This is the difference between me and you, but as you know, I am still fighting for a reason, not for money, but for breath, not for profit.
I know that the gap between the East and the West can only be understood by heroes and a few people with novel understanding and keen and profound feelings. If the wisdom/wisdom/detachment of the East can be integrated with the vitality/enthusiasm/fearless spirit of the West, mankind may see the emergence of another new culture.
It's really a strange animal. When it is civilized, it will be so civilized. When it is so noble and savage, it is no different from a wild animal, even more cruel.
At home, we keep everything in order, and you are still young. These things are hard to put into practice and stick to. It can be seen that it is always a good thing to form good habits and strengthen willpower, which will benefit you endlessly over time.
How many artists go downhill after middle age, do they really want to? Most of them are dragged down for their families, and they are completely dragged down unconsciously.
A successful marriage injustice is a great happiness for the parties. Warm time and endless poetry have been shining and infiltrating both families.
Recently, I often think of how insignificant people are in the universe and nebula world, so it is really ridiculous to think that people pretend to be the spirit of everything.
Appreciate the deeds of predecessors and see the great creation of mankind, so as not to be pessimistic about the status quo, to motivate ourselves and try our best to leave pleasant achievements in this world.
Often in the moonlight, I walk alone by the water in the forest, breathing the rich smell of grass and earth, or relaxing my depression or meditating. Too much indoor life and study life have only caused the neuroticism and morbidness of modern intellectuals, but you can't deny that the desolate, broad-minded and quiet state is only obtained from nature, right?
Of course, the vitality of a young nation is vigorous. If a naive temperament has little contact with temper, it will feel innocent and lovely, and it will be unbearable to get along with fear.
You can put all your eggs in one basket, just ask the present, and never consider whether it is worth the risk ... it is not difficult to regard life as a feather. This kind of people are very strong, can start a business and innovate, but they lack wisdom, are difficult to persist, are not easy to succeed, are overconfident, are not complacent, come too easily and are childish and arrogant. Criticism often turns into garbage. There are far fewer intelligent, serious, earnest and insightful critics than real artists. ...
Reaction to a book or an article
It took me a month to finish the first reading of Letters from Fu Lei before having a rest in the evening or other free time.
When I want to go back and write my thoughts, I find it difficult. Because these letters from home included in the book are wonderful and meticulous, taking notes or any summary may damage this classic. So, here I just record some important impressions after reading this book and the important thoughts expressed by the author I understand.
First of all, in terms of form, Letter from Home has taught me what is meticulous, meticulous and serious ... I believe all readers who have read Letter from Home are deeply touched by these characteristics. According to my own experience, I think this is largely due to the way of expression, communication or writing. Only in this way can we have such a wide range of works, which is naturally comfortable. He not only talks about art study, but also about life, love, being a man and self-cultivation. Even if the son writes a typo, the father will "seriously" point it out and patiently analyze and correct it. It is this way rather than other ways (such as thesis and translation) that enables us to directly and clearly feel the meticulous and serious attitude and style of Mr. Fu Lei, a famous literary critic and literary translator. If Letters from Fu Lei is a "best reading for art apprentices" or a classic "teaching article", then I think this attitude and style should be the first and most meaningful. But it is by no means limited to this. Moreover, because of his knowledge and thoughts, Mr. Fu Lei can explain profound but never difficult truths about any major and minor issues, thus giving people inspiration.
Of course, I think it's not just "the best reading for art apprentices" or "teaching articles". For readers like me who are not an art apprentice (in a narrow sense), these letters are still great. The book shines with wisdom everywhere, giving people profound enlightenment from time to time. Throughout it, I think the most important point is that the relationship between life, practice and learning is actually an integrated thought.
A passage that embodies this idea is as follows:
Words on Earth is the best literary criticism. Carry forward the spirit, this book is equal to a golden key. A person has no soul, does not become a modern pedant, a contemporary pedant, an expert in stereotyped writing, and rarely talks about theory! The most important thing in learning is mastery, which is not rigid, pedantic, sour and rigid; General ability can cultivate integrity, mind and vision. General knowledge can become "big", not too big and not too knowledgeable, and there is a danger of sitting in the well and watching the sky. I have always believed that people are the most important in learning and art, and we should cultivate a "person" as much as possible. Before becoming a xx family, you must learn to be a man. Otherwise, no matter how clever the xx family is, it will not make much contribution to mankind.
In my opinion, this is the importance of attaching importance to and emphasizing "universal support". In other letters, this idea appeared, such as suggestions about going to museums and forests, hoping to improve general cultivation through these methods, rather than blindly practicing the piano and engaging in music.
What inspires me is that reading is just one of the ways to cultivate one's self-cultivation, and there should be others. Even if you study, don't limit yourself to a certain subject. The establishment and improvement of general education requires reading literature, art, science, philosophy, sociology, economics and history. Because, life or life is by no means as standardized and neat as the classification of university disciplines. All fields are just one aspect of the world we live in. In order to understand the world we live in and ourselves, extensive reading is beneficial. In fact, I was influenced by Mao Zedong for a long time and asked so much of myself.
In addition, others, such as the relationship between emotion (passion) and reason, should control emotions with reason; I often look at everything in life from the perspective of stars or the universe, so I understand the limitations of people, and so on. These are all insightful and shine with rational light!
These are some thoughts after reading Fu Lei's letter. As the saying goes, "the book is not full of words, and the words are not full of meaning." After reading, I can only record part of my gains, but I can't write more. I have to integrate into my body. Originally, reading notes and feeling after reading are just means, and understanding and practicing the truth is the ultimate goal.
