Su Shi: The best way to raise yourself

What is changed is the situation of life,

What does not change is self -practice.

Author: Lodge Yebo

"Reader Lang" said: "Every Chinese has a Su Dongpo in the hearts of the Chinese."

Su Shi was a 20 -year -old junior scholar.

After middle age, from north to south, it was degraded one after another, and half -life was left.

But no matter what the situation, he never forgot to cultivate his body and mind, enrich himself, and eventually live as everyone's longing.

Su Shi told us in his life:

To raise ourselves is the best practice in our life.

Ecstatic

The Qing dynasty scholar Shen Juyi once said, "The joy of indulgence, the worry of the trouble."

The desire for foreign objects is our instinct, but the desire is endless, and indulgence can only be caught in calamity.

Liu Zongyuan wrote a fable "Big Whale".

There is a big whale in the South China Sea, which set off a huge wave in the sea, chasing the fat fish.

It swallowed dozens of fish like a boat.

Big whales followed the fish, and they kept going north, and gradually approached the shallow beach.

When the seawater began to ebb, it was still greedy and wanted to swallow more fish into the belly.

In the end, the sea was scattered, and it was put on the shallow beach and could no longer go back to the sea.

Many people are like this big whale. They never know enough. They still want to have anymore. They want to get more. They are not regretted until they are dragged into the abyss of desire.

Zhuangzi "Xiaoyaoyou" said: "The nest is in the deep forest, but a branch;

In this life, there are actually very little need.

Su Shi won the jinshi at the age of 21, and he had a three -grade official.

Although Lulu is good, he is extremely saved in his life.

He wrote a small text of "Ending Diet" and posted it on his own wall, and he always woke him up.

The article stipulates that only one meal can be one meal, and you can only drink a glass of wine and eat a amaranth.

If there are noble guests, only two dishes can be added for feast entertainment.

Others asked for dinner, and he also told the other party in advance that he should not spread too much, otherwise he refused to enter the table.

At that time, many people were confused and puzzled why he saved so much.

In a letter to his friends, he gave the answer:

What is the desire of your mouth? Every time it is saved, it is also the way of blessing and longevity.

Regardless of whether he is in the temple or derogation, Su Shi has always lived this simple life.

After being separated from the dependence of material, he became more free and free, his bones were more tough, and his elderly were still mentally spiritual.

Wang Yangming said: "My generation is working hard, only to be reduced by day, no daily increase, and a point of desire, it will be reasonable."

Desire is the black hole of the human heart. If you chase over, you will eventually devour himself.

The so -called: less desire is quiet, and the heart is quiet.

Learn to simplify your life to pursue the life you want.

Shaoyan to raise blessings

"Book of Changes" said: "The birth of chaos is also the same."

The disaster comes out of the mouth, and the speech is too casual, it is easy to cause no delusion.

In the second year of Song Shenzong Xining, Su Shi asked for office due to the discord with Wang Anshi and other reforms.

In just a few years, it has continuously moved to Hangzhou, Mizhou and other places.

When he was transferred to Huzhou, he was slightly dissatisfied in his heart and presented a "Huzhou Xie Shang Table".

There is such a sentence: "His Majesty knows its foolishness, and it is difficult to chase with Xinjin; inspect his elderly, or she can shepher."

Originally, he just made a few complaints and complained that the emperor refused to reuse him.

But he didn't want to be caught by Yu Shi Zhengchen and Li Ding. They impeached one after another, thinking that he attacked the court and opposed the new law.

After seeing Song Shenzong, he was annoyed and ordered to deal with the case seriously and put him into a prison.

As the investigation began, his previous lightive remarks were turned out, and more and more crimes were charged.

In the end, he was imprisoned by injustice.

This reminds me of a story of Zhu Yuanzhang when he was young.

When he was down, he had been relieved by a person named Guo Decheng.

When he became the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a lot of money in order to reward him, enough to protect him in the second half of his life.

Once, Guo Decheng was drunk and said:

"What I hate most is the messy hair, if I can shave into a bald head."

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang was angry, because when he was young, he became a monk.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who felt ridiculed, ordered immediately and dragged Guo Decheng out.

As the saying goes: "A word can cause blessing, and a word can be cautious."

Many times, instead of saying a lot of mistakes, it is better to restrain your expression of expression for yourself.

As Zhu Ziqing said in "Silence":

Your words should be like the night of the night, not like the firecrackers on New Year's Eve.

The sign of a person's mature is to control his mouth.

It is the so -called: it is not as good as it is, it is worse than its widow.

Hold back the desire of the tongue and be cautious in order to allow us to be like a fish in our lives.

Reading wisdom

The Han scholar Liu Xiang said in "The Garden": "The book is still medicine, and the good reading can be medical."

Those who do not read books are often easy to fall into narrow and stubbornness. Reading more can make people look at superficial and ignorant.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Lu country Min Zizheng admired Confucius very much, so he worshiped Confucius as a teacher.

When I first arrived, Zi Yan's face was dry and dull, and his eyes were dull.

In the face of Confucius' examinations, I often do not know.

After a while, his complexion began to rosy and his eyes became agile. When studying with the brothers, I also answered.

Confucius was surprised and asked the reason.

Zi Yan replied respectfully: "Come here, study every day, learn to distinguish right from wrong, and understand a lot of truths, so there is such a change."

After Confucius listened, he praised his palm.

Lin Yutang once said:

Reading, you can open Mao, in addition to contempt, get new knowledge, increase school questions, widely consciousness, and nourish the spirit.

Reading not only makes people clever, but also makes people open up and cultivates temperament.

In the second year of Yuanfeng, Su Shi was degraded to Huanggang, Hubei, and closed the door all day.

His friend Zhu Zai was very worried about him, so he came to visit.

I thought that Su Shi would be very depressed. I didn't expect him to hold "Han Book" and wrote while reading.

Zhu Zai lamented: "You still have a mood to copy books."

Su Shi said with a smile: "I have copied" Han Shu "three times, and each time I chew, I have benefited a lot."

As he said: the book is rich as the sea, and the department stores are all available.

It was reading that he could maintain suddenly and accessible in the turbulent life, no matter what the situation was.

"The Art of Life" says: "People must read it from time to time, otherwise they will be stubborn, and they are full of vulgarity."

Those who do not read the book are inevitable, and they are easily imprisoned by the world in front of the world.

Only when a person often reads can he get rid of vulgarity and stubbornness.

The book reads too much, the soul is nourished, and the heart is natural and full.

Calm

"Dongpo Zhilin" records that when Su Shi was detained into Beijing's conviction, the whole family cried.

At this time, he joked and read the poem: "Today, catch the officials, this time to break the old scalp."

A simple sentence of self -deprecation, making his wife laugh.

In the prison, other prisoners were all stubborn all day, but he ate and drinked as usual.

There were a lot of worms and rats in the night, and he didn't care about it. He went straight to sleep, and soon snoring like a thunder.

"The Yellow Emperor's Canon" said that the best health is to nourish.

A person's state of mind determines whether the world he sees is colorful or gray.

People with a calm and indifferent mentality, no matter what kind of dilemma facing, bloom a flower in suffering.

When Su Shi was degraded in Hainan, he wanted to copy the book, and found a lot of pine branches with his son to burn ink.

As a result, he piled up the entire Songchai.

The son thought his father would be frustrated, and who knew that Su Shi said happily, "This time I can't finish the ash."

It didn't take long for the political rival Zhang to see that he was too comfortable, and sent someone to drive him out of the official house.

Without a house, the family had to go to sleep in the woods.

His son Su Guo was deadly, but Su Shi said:

"Fortunately, it was degraded to Hainan. If other places, I am afraid that it would not be cold to die outside."

In that dark day, Su Shi not only did not blame himself, but had a taste of it.

He was annoyed in his life, degraded from north to south, and suffered suffering.

But in the face of a lot of unsatisfactory life, he sang and groaned: "Go back, there is no wind and rain or sunny."

With this open -minded state of mind, Su Shi's ups and downs of his life lived and wanton.

Think of Yu Dan said:

To achieve strong heart, one premise is to look at the things and losses outside the body. Those who suffer from losses will not have a broad mind, no calm mood, nor a real courage.

Life is alive, the so -called thing turns with the heart, and the realm is born from the heart.

In the face of the ups and downs of life, it is smooth or bumpy.

The gains and losses were faded, the spoil was not shocked, and a normal heart was repaired, and he had a calmness.

Lin Yutang once said:

Su Shi is dead. His name is just a memory, but what he left to us is the joy and joy of his soul. This is immortal.

Throughout Su Shi's life, he walked through the mountains and lakes, laughed over the princes, and tasted bitterness and joy.

What changes is the situation of life, and what is unchanged is self -practice.

For the rest of my life, I hope you and I will learn his spirit, aside from the fetters of foreign objects, solve the confusion with books, and keep your mind.

Continue to support yourself and live the best life state.

Like a praise and encourage friends.
