What are the benefits of learning ancient poems?
Mr. Ye Jiaying, a poet, said that the biggest benefit of learning classical poetry is to make your soul immortal.
A truly great poet does not write poetry with pen and ink words, but writes poetry with his whole life, life. This vitality has been passed on for thousands of years, and it is endless.
As long as you have feelings, feelings, and cultivation, you will be able to read the sincere and moving life contained in the poems, and this vitality is endless.
This kind of vitality can allow us to find a quiet corner in the hustle and bustle of the world.
This kind of vitality can allow us to get out of the ups and downs of life.
Thank you to our ancestors for leaving us so many wonderful and powerful classical poems. Today I will share with you some poems and golden sentences that are short, but the philosophy is far-reaching and full of stamina.

I'd rather be me
From Xin Wai's "Partridge Heaven · Boshan Temple Works".
In the eighth year of Song Xiaozong's Chunxi reign (1181), Xin Qijian was 42 years old, and was removed from his official position because he was impeached and excluded by the courtiers, and lived in seclusion in Shangrao Daihu, Jiangxi. During the period of taking the lake, he often traveled to and from Boshan, and this poem was written in Boshan Temple.
Xin Qiji's words are known for their easy allusions. Six words, with two allusions.
Rather be me, from "The World Says New Language·Pinzao": "Huan Gongshao is as famous as Yin Hou, and there is often competition. Huan asked Yin: 'How is Qing like me?' Yin Yun: "I have been with me for a long time, and I would rather be me." ’”
The interpretation is: Huan Wen was as famous as Yin Hao when he was young, and he often wanted to compete with Yin Hao. Huan Wen asked Yin Hao: "How do you compare with me?" Yin Hao replied: "I have been dealing with myself for a long time, and I would rather be myself." ”
· Qiqing, from Yangxiong's "Fa Yan Ask God" volume 5.
Or said: "The gentleman's illness is unknown and unknown, and there are many famous ministers." He said: "How many are the names of the gentleman, Liang, Qi, Zhao, and Chu, are not rich and noble, but they are famous?" Taniguchi Zheng Zizhen did not yield his will and plowed under the rocks, and his fame was shocked by the Beijing Division. How can it be that it is a qing, how can it be a qing. ”
The interpretation is: · Qiqing is from Yangxiong's "Fa Yan Ask God". Some people think that instead of dying in obscurity, why not cling to the minister for fame.
Yangxiong said that a gentleman should be famous for virtue, why should he be a minister if he seeks fame. It is often cited in later generations as an allusion to show that he does not envy his reputation and is happy to live in seclusion.
"I'd rather be me, than Qiqing", these short six words show their position, "I" is "me", I will never change my nature to accommodate others, let alone lose my heart, and never rely on the trend to seek fame.
Those ambitions to resist the Northern Expedition have not been adopted, and even suffered constant suppression and debasement because of this. But I will not be with you!
There is nowhere to spill blood, and there is no way to serve the country, so what? What if there is no room for a true gentleman in this world?
Then I will retreat into this mountain wilderness and be friends with the pine, bamboo, and mountain birds. This mountain, water, pine and bamboo, they can not only understand me, but also always be by my side.
This open-mindedness, this courage to be our own blood, who said that it is not a good medicine for us to stop internal friction?

The moonlight wind does not linger
First, Huang Tingjian, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote in the "Preface to the Poetry of Lianxi in the Collection of Yuzhang Collection·": "The mind is sprinkled, like the light wind and the moon." Later, Chen Liang, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote in "Xie Luo Shangshuqi": "The moonlight and wind are finally free and easy."
Ji moonlight wind refers to the rain after the sky is clear, all things are clear and pure, which is used as a metaphor for people's noble character and open-mindedness.
Not lingering means that you don't care about some things and things, which is used to describe a free and indifferent state of mind.
Not only the ancient sages have been pursuing, to achieve an open-minded, free and open-minded realm. Each of us also looks forward to doing it, and the moonlight and wind do not linger.
Suddenly, I thought of the Mai family's "Sea of Life".
Life is a sea of seas, mountains and rivers, but Erer.
When I first read "The Sea of Life", I felt that the colonel was really a superhero, how could a person withstand so much suffering?
Reading again, I deeply feel that the sea of life, the ebb and flow of the tide, is the truth of life that each of us must understand.
Life is full of uncertainties and difficulties, and we must have the courage to face them, or learn to let them go.
For many of us, throughout our lives, it is difficult to get rid of the internal friction of the spirit and soul. Mo Yan once said such a thing in an interview.
"People must have the ability to turn the page, if they always grasp the people and things in the past, linger on the grievances and injuries they have suffered, and even continue to consume themselves in those things that cannot be changed, they will become twisted and unhappy in the long run."
Ups and downs are the norm in life. The past should be turned over, and the past should be passed. The moonlight and wind, not lingering in the arms is the best state of life.

Gregarious, independent and fearless
This is a sentence of Su Shi in "The Legend of Mojuntang", he borrowed bamboo to describe the gentleman's style, which means that he does not rely on anyone in the group, and when he is alone, he should not be afraid and afraid.
In Su Shi's eyes, he should be like a bamboo. When it grows in a clump, it does not rely on it; When independent, there is no fear.
In life, we are the opposite, always eager to fit into the group and find a few more to rely on. Over time, dependence becomes a habit.
But life always has to grow in uncertainty, we have to be like bamboo, down roots, to find the strength that allows us to stand on the earth.
With this power, we can take root, sprout, blossom, and bear fruit wherever we go. Independence, in order to settle down, not afraid of the wind, frost and sword.
In today's high-intensity and fast-paced modern life, we are always wrapped up in various information from the outside world and fall into anxiety.
A large part of the cause of anxiety and unhappiness is: too much concern about what others think, too much concern about what others think of you. However, we ask ourselves, who will always pay attention to you except your loved ones?
Schopenhauer once said: "The more mediocre and vulgar the person is, the more he likes to socialize". There are so many important things in life, so why should we waste our energy on such small things?
Keep your heart and strengthen your beliefs. Don't deliberately fit in to escape loneliness; Don't grieve yourself in order to cater to others. Instead of blindly following the herd, it is better to enjoy solitude.
"If, you have a great spirit, you will find that you will like to be alone, because you no longer have to look for the crowds that drown you, and the higher a person is in the hierarchy of nature, the more lonely he is."
This is another of Schopenhauer's words about loneliness and success. Although those who can endure loneliness may not always be successful, those who succeed must be those who can endure loneliness.
There is a cloud in the Book of Changes: "A gentleman is not afraid of independence, and there is no boredom in the world."
May you find your place in the complex world, without blind obedience and dependence.
May you be independent, not afraid of the wind and rain of the outside world, and not afraid of the eyes of the world.
Not in a hurry, not in a hurry. Grow freely the way you like.
