"Chang'an Night Study"

For most people, reading is a state of life, representing a period of leisure and tranquility. In this time, people are no longer kidnapped by the world. They can empty themselves first and then fill themselves up bit by bit with other people's words. Those joys and sorrows in the world that cannot be encountered through personal experience, those vast worlds that cannot be reached by one's personal vision, those witty words that speak clearly to one's state of mind... The encounter with any of these words is a wonderful experience that makes people feel at ease and makes them feel at ease. People are rich.

Modern society is like a high-speed machine in which everyone plays a certain role. The machine turned faster and faster, and people were pushed forward, exhausted. The esthetician Mr. Zhu Guangqian once said: "Learning and doing business can only be regarded as the second thing in life. The first thing in life is life. What I call 'life' is 'enjoyment' and 'appreciation'. It is 'cultivating vitality'. If you forget about life for the sake of knowledge and career, that kind of knowledge and career will lose their true meaning and value in life." These words are worth pondering and pondering. Tonight's "Chang'an Night Study" lets us walk through the words and feel the beauty of slowness in the flow of life.

"Private Music"

This piece is "Silence in the Empty Mountain" played by young guqin player Wu Na. The soothing and rich guqin sound is filled with a soul-stirring distant feeling. , soft yet strong, horizontal and vertical charm, like the elegant and elegant splash of ink by an art master. The sound of the flute was low and lingering, and an inexplicable sadness arose spontaneously. The perfect combination of guqin and jade flute and beads not only protects the independence of the two pieces of music, but also makes the language of the entire piece of music full, ethereal and profound. Its rich expressive power creates a gorgeous spiritual feast. Wu Na once said: Playing Guqin is to help us live a better life and make our hearts as free as flowing water. In "Silence in the Empty Mountain", the sound of the flute that turns thousands of times merges with the slow and distant music of the piano, making the artistic conception even more exciting. Listening attentively, you will forget yourself.

Speaking of slow life, perhaps many people have misunderstood the meaning of slow life. Many people think that opening a small shop and living leisurely is a slow life. In this way, if we can't open a store in our lifetime, we can't enjoy a slow life? Or can we only wait until old age to retire and have nothing to do in order to live a slow life? There is no need to wait to open a small shop, no need to wait until old age to retire, and no need to complain that the social environment is too fast. Slow life is not an empty and empty slogan. It is actually a technical job that requires both heart and mind. It requires practice and persistence, here and now. You can experience slow life.

So, what is slow life? Slow life is a rhythmic and balanced life. Rhythm represents rhythm. Just like music, there are ups and downs, impassioned and beating melodies, and slow and flowing movements, which constitute a complete music. The same is true for people's living conditions. There are fast and slow. Fast here refers to high efficiency when facing work, not procrastinating, and in life, not accumulating negative emotions, channeling them in time, and actively facing and solving life encounters. to the size issue. Fast reflects the power of action and execution, while slowness is an inner state. Even in the face of a rapidly changing society, stick to principles and follow your heart. Not only see with your eyes and listen with your ears, but also touch life with your heart and build your own life. aesthetics.

Slow life is not blindly slow, but fast and slow complement and promote each other. The ancients said that relaxation and relaxation are to form your own harmonious rhythm and rhythm. Just like a long-distance running, you move forward quickly from the starting point, slowly reduce the speed in the middle and keep moving forward at a constant speed, accumulate strength, and then sprint to the finish line in the last 100 meters. Go fast when you should be fast, slow when you want to be slow, and control the change of rhythm by yourself. , like a music conductor, with confidence, we can better complete the movement of life.

Facing the busy streets every day, we always stride towards our destination with the flow of people. We are familiar with the law of "the shortest straight line between two points", but we have gradually forgotten Jiang Xun's saying, "Sometimes, the beauty is when everyone is fast, and you slow down." Slow down the pace and the scenery will be natural. Clearer.

"Beauty Because of Slowness" Author: Jiang Xun

The sense of speed is a very wonderful thing. From the earliest walking to the emergence of various means of transportation, we have seen that people are moving faster and faster. This is our hope to have more space or know more things in our short life. This wish is also human civilization A reason for progress. And when it is slow, there is beauty.

Beauty is a choice, even a kind of giving up, not greed. When there are many things in front of you, you have to have an education and know which ones you should choose. The same goes for living. We see that many people’s furniture and decorations are so expensive that there is almost no space at home. In fact, maybe less will become a kind of beauty.

The real desolation in the soul comes from too much ***, that is, you constantly *** in terms of taste, to eat as much as you want, to be satisfied with clothing, or to buy a more expensive house in terms of living conditions. , constantly investing and making money, in fact, this feeling of pleasure is not necessarily aesthetic, but ***.

Sometimes, the beauty is that when everyone is fast, you slow down.

You might as well give yourself a chance to experience different speeds, such as walking or riding a bicycle, when you are not in such a hurry to go to work or school. Sometimes I feel like walking or riding a bicycle has become a very luxury thing in the city where I live.

When you want to slow down today, you encounter two difficulties: One difficulty is that the external objective traffic design does not provide the possibility of slowing down. Sometimes you can't slow down when walking on the street because people behind you will push you. I remember going to New York in the 1970s, when it was the largest city in the world. Walking in that area of ??Manhattan, you will feel that there is no way to stop, because everyone behind you walks at a certain speed and rhythm, and they are all rushing forward. The second difficulty is the rhythm of our own psychology. I often feel that after a friend has been busy at work for five days, in a society and city with poor traffic design, he has been rushing, squeezed in a convoy, and his life has been wasted in traffic jams. The irritability and mood You can definitely understand the anxiety you feel. When the second day of the week comes and I can't stop, I may be anxious to discuss with my spouse and children: "Where are we going? Can we go out to play today?" But playing is also in a hurry, and then maybe Feeling angry again.

At this time, I feel that maybe the word "leisurely" has become an aesthetic quality worthy of our re-examination. Let’s not forget the two Chinese characters “leisure”. The bottom of “leisure” refers to the state of the soul, which is a process of dialogue with one’s own soul. "The Book of Songs" says "You leisurely my heart", which means that when you go out, you feel that your soul and all external spaces are connected. If the speed is so fast that you have no sense of the external environment, it is not "you leisurely my heart". . "Yoyou" also means to slow down, because slowness will give you spiritual feelings.

The word "Xian" (Xian) is more obvious. How long has it been since you leaned on the doorframe and looked at the moon? This character is a moon in the middle of the "door". Or another way of writing it, there is a "wood" in the "door", which is also "xian". How long has it been since you leaned, walked, and enjoyed the shade under the big tree in front of your house, feeling that the shade of the tree is beautiful?

The two words "leisurely" remind us that we don't have to go far away, you may feel it right at your doorstep, but the most important thing is the leisurely state of mind. To be leisurely is to first transform your mental impatience and anxiety into a slower rhythm.

After we slow down our actions, different feelings will arise from the bottom of our hearts. Have you ever thought about how many rich things in life you miss when you drive fast on the highway from point A to point B? I often tell many friends that in fact, the longest period from point A to point B in a person's life is from birth to death. If it is a straight highway from birth to death, then I would rather pass it slowly, or even give up the highway and take the provincial road or the circuitous mountain road, so that I can see more scenery? My life can be extended to a longer distance. I don’t know if this is logical, but point A to point B is the fastest distance and the fastest speed. We think everyone must choose this path, but in fact it is not necessarily the case. In every process, There are things in your life that you should stop to look at, appreciate, and feel.

That’s why advanced countries design pedestrian paths in cities to remind us, encourage us, or advise us: you can have a car, but you don’t have to drive either. I think this goes back to the basic rule of aesthetics we just mentioned - what you have and what you don't need is beauty. We do not want to become slaves to material things. For example, I can eat more, but I can also eat less. I have many opportunities to eat strange foods such as camel humps and bear paws, but I can also choose to eat the buds of shansu that have just emerged, or the bamboo shoots that have just sprouted in spring. Those are not expensive foods, but they allow me to taste the light taste of life. This is beauty.

"Poetic Slow Life"

In today's fast-paced world, when we are tired, when we calm down and read a volume of ancient poetry and appreciate the "slow life" of the ancients, perhaps You can't help but feel envious. Try to think about it, the wind is gentle and the sun is warm, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, you can have a few drinks with two or three close friends, take a leisurely stroll, and watch the clouds roll and relax, and the flowers bloom and fall. How pleasant and joyful it is!

Tao Yuanming, the sect of reclusive poets in ancient and modern times, his life was really "slow" beyond his realm. Tao Yuanming leads a free and easy "slow life". In "Drinking", he "picked chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and saw Nanshan leisurely." In "Returning to the Garden and Living in the Fields": "The distant village is warm, and the smoke in the ruins is lingering." In his life in "Migration": "Qiwen* ** Appreciation, analysis of doubts. "His pastoral life is extremely beautiful, with spring flowers, autumn moon, summer rain, and winter snow. Feel these beauties in slow time, place your soul quietly in them, and cultivate a poetic feeling in your heart. Slow down to listen to the sound of a flower blooming, and see the joy of bees on the flowers as they buzz to pick up the spring light; slow down to listen to the first bird call in the morning, and see the first ray of morning glow. Slow down and listen to what your child is telling you, the joys and worries in his little heart; slow down and listen to your own inner voice.

Reading the poem by Buddha Wang Wei, one feels as if he is living in seclusion in an empty mountain and deep forest, watching a ray of sunlight shine through the gaps in the dense forest onto the moss in the forest, and then playing a piece of music, the sound of the piano reaches his ears. , it is freedom and leisure. In the quiet "slow life", Wang Wei listens to nature: "When people are idle, osmanthus flowers fall, and the night is quiet in the spring sky in the mountains." "The pine wind blows the belt, and the mountain moon shines on the piano." If you are in a bad mood, you can: Wang Wei found a secluded place like that, listened to light music, and let the notes fly by his ears calmly, leaving not a deep imprint in his mind, but it lasted forever. Life can only be lived slowly, just like these brisk notes, so that you can live out your true taste.

Su Dongpo's leisurely "slow life" is embedded in his wandering life, and is the peace and quiet found in the gaps in life. He lamented in "Linjiang Fairy": "The boat passed away from now on, and the river and the sea left me with the rest of my life." In "Shui Tiao Ge Tou": "Dancing to clear the shadows, it seems like being in the world." He expressed feelings in "Red Cliff Ode" : "A single reed is as vast as a vast expanse of land." What is the "light boat" of life after it has crossed the "Ten Thousand Mountains" among rapids and dangerous shoals? That's a flat river, so we need to slow down our speed, paddle gently, swim leisurely, and sing loudly. The scenery on both sides of the river is so swaying.

After reading "The little lotus has just revealed its sharp corners, and a dragonfly has already stood on its head", I can better understand the freshness and elegance in Yang Wanli's poems. After taking a nap, watching children play is a true attitude toward life. Yang Wanli's "slow life" is leisurely and elegant. You can "sleep in the long day and have no thoughts, and watch the children catching willow flowers." Or even more, "dream about the boat under the flowers at noon, and the smoke and water in the two lakes are filled with fragrance." You and I can also be like him, giving life a true and natural way.

Li Bai, the most romantic poet, how could life be without the companionship of poetry and wine? Traveling all over the country, he is free-spirited and unrestrained, without any pretense of burden. This is his own life. Li Bai's willful "slow life" can be described in "Drinking Alone under the Moon": "Raise a glass to invite the bright moon, and drink together as three people." You can also "take credit for the moonlight in Dongting, and buy wine by the white clouds on the boat." Just ask for a glass of wine. Under the bright moon, let yourself live a prosperous and free life. Life is a toil, full of ups and downs, and hard work to train oneself, just for the sake of living. But if the beautiful scenery is neglected and the good mood is idle, how can it be worthy of a short life?

Postscript to "Chang'an Night Study"

The British writer Bernard Shaw once said: "Only when you are young It is a pity to be young; for me, as I grow older, I live more fully and know how to enjoy life. Now is the best time. "No matter how busy life is, we can always find time. On a sunny morning, take a stroll and find a teahouse to sit down, make a cup of fragrant green tea, quietly admire the bustling pedestrians, listen to the urban symphony composed of various sounds, and completely relax your body and mind... You can find a weekend to take advantage of the good time to go out for a leisurely stroll, exchange greetings with friends, and chat about home affairs. Slow down the pace of life, learn to appreciate, learn to be normal, you can leave some time to read Qingfengmingyue, or you can leave a line of footsteps for Guadou Pastoral.

Slowness is an attitude towards life, and it is also a state of life. Slowness can relax your muscles and bones and relieve stress; you can cultivate your will and cultivate your temperament; you can meditate and explore the vast world, or you can return to nature and prolong your life... Learn to slow down your pace! Feel the different beauty of life in a slow life. When I slow down, it seems that time also slows down. One day can actually stretch so long. In the full time, every day and every detail of life is so beautiful, full of leisure and comfort. What we really want is not material things, but spiritual wealth. The so-called slow life means that no matter how complicated and noisy things in the world are, we can always find a rhythm that suits us and can always make our hearts calm and calm. Even in the boring life, poetic spring water can flow out, and you can also explore the scenery that makes you happy and joyful.
