Life is hard and easy. As long as you wash away the deceitful thoughts, despise your scheming, fill up the sewers, tear down the secret passages, and live honestly under the bright sky, it is an innocent enjoyment.
-Yu "The Way of a Gentleman"
2. Understanding is not that important.
Why wait for understanding, for fear of being misunderstood by others? Modern life is independent and everything exists. The owner's willow is short, so there is no need to explain to passers-by that it could have grown taller. The pagoda tree in Jia Xi is taller, and there is no need to explain to neighbors that they have no intention of monopolizing Feng Shui.
If you do something new and everyone understands it immediately, it is not new.
A brilliant idea, which everyone immediately understood, was not brilliant.
Undisputed behavior is definitely not creation.
People who are not controversial are definitely not creators.
-Yu "The Way of a Gentleman"
3, because of dignity, everything is silent and independent, standing quietly; Because of self-reliance, the world is traceable and orderly.
Without dignity, the world is a mud pond.

4. First, the reputation of being distressed is mostly insignificant.
Second, there is nothing you can do about a truly great reputation.
Third, once your reputation is vilified, you basically don't care.
Fourth, a higher level of self-cultivation excludes "name coercion" and "self-coercion".
Fifth, in the face of other people's false accusations, we should speak out bravely.
-Yu "The Way of a Gentleman"
Contempt is a silent broom, which can make the earth cleaner.
Let's learn to respect and despise.
-Yu "The Way of a Gentleman"
What a person cherishes most is a kind nature, which is far more important than cleverness.

7. The ultimate achievement of China culture is the collective personality of China people. Reviving China culture means discovering and optimizing the collective personality of China people.

8. Even parents may not understand the decent things we have done in our life. Our parents gave birth to us, but they couldn't understand us. This is evolution.

9. Kindness and love are the result of history. ....
Kindness and love are a hard relay race passed down from generation to generation, just to pull mankind out of endless darkness.

Yu prose
Accustomed to depression, you can only continue to be depressed; People who are used to being mean can only remain mean. Moreover, due to exhaustion of physical strength and loss of friends in old age, depression can only be more depressed and meanness can only be more humble.
1, I think the Sutra Cave, like Oracle Bone Inscriptions, can best reflect a nation's cultural self-confidence, so it must have suddenly appeared at a time when the nation almost completely lost its self-confidence.
2. Many seemingly normal phenomena in the world often cover up a terrible black hole. The amazing storage of the Mogao Grottoes has caused a huge cultural gap between the king and the guardian. This gap is a black hole.
I was shocked by the spirit and vision of Shanxi merchants. Under the premise of hard natural conditions, they did not feel sorry for themselves, did not fight with each other, did not spend their limited energy on the barren land under their feet, and they did not rise up. But to see the world outside my hometown. Although this kind of vision is ignorant and naive, it is a pioneering work, just like Yan Fu who saw the world in those days. Of course, they also have their own shortcomings, but they are still a group of respectable people, a group of pure businessmen, a group of people who work hard and make the best use of their wisdom and strength.
There is a river outside the Mogao Grottoes. There is a clearing on the other side of the river, and several stupas are built high and low. The tower is round and looks like a gourd. It is painted white. When I went, several buildings had collapsed and had not been repaired. I saw a wooden stake in the center of the tower, and the tower body was all loess, resting on a blue brick base. As the sun sets and the north wind blows fiercely, the whole tower group is very desolate.
5. The Mogao Grottoes are dominated by Buddhist culture. How can a Taoist priest be a master? China's folk beliefs are inherently mixed, while Wang is almost illiterate. He doesn't specialize in Taoism and doesn't reject Buddhism, but he will preside over religious ceremonies and raise money for charity. He is in charge of this cold temple, which is normal.
6. The magic of literati can actually turn such a strange corner of the world into a hometown in everyone's heart. What magic is hidden in their faded blue shirts?
7. I once had the opportunity to look up at Bai Di City in the boat on the river at dusk, climb the Yellow Crane Tower in the thick autumn frost, and touch Hanshan Temple in winter night. There are many people around me, and almost all of them are filled with poems that don't need to be quoted. People come to look for scenery as well as poetry. They can recite these poems when they are young. The children's imagination is sincere and realistic. So these cities, these buildings, these temples are all built in their own hearts. When they are old, when they just realize that their feet are enough, they are also burdened with heavy debts and eagerly look forward to visiting the poetic realm. For childhood, for history, for many unspeakable reasons. Sometimes, this longing is like looking for the lost hometown and visiting the lost relatives.
8. In ancient China, once a scholar, he did not have a full view. The prominence of civil servants lies in officialdom, not in literature. As a scholar, they are not satisfied in officialdom. However, things are strange. When the Hubei official's belt has long been mired in mud, a poem occasionally crossed by a bamboo pen can engrave mountains and rivers and carve people's hearts, and never wander.
9. There will be roads in the desert, but there is no road here. From a distance, there are several lines of crooked footprints. Follow the footprints, but no. Where someone stepped on it, it was too loose to walk. I can only walk a new road with my own feet. Looking back, I am happy with my long footprints. I wonder how long this footprint will last.
10, Wang Wei's poems and paintings are excellent, and the boundaries between poetry and painting that Lessing and other western philosophers have repeatedly discussed are now accessible to him. However, the palace in Chang 'an only opened a narrow side door for artists, allowing them to bend down as humble attendants to create a little entertainment. The old man in history stood in awe and turned away, trembling to return to the genealogy of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. Here, there is no need for art to make a big fight, and there is no need to have too deep sustenance for beauty.

1. The final evil consequence of the disaster is the collapse of personality; The first sign of collapse is to destroy others. A brief history of my family
2. A sound life needs constant beauty and ugliness. However, sometimes we have to say goodbye to some beautiful things and make a series of sour sacrifices. The most unbearable thing in the world is to worship beauty.
I walked so long and climbed so high. Footprints have always been like an unattainable ribbon, calmly and elegantly drawing an undulating curve, with one end tightly tied to the foot. Hidden spring on the sandy plain
4. The most wanton Wang Yang almost dried up the immortals, the densest excitement was close to the monotony of thousands of miles, and the most indulgent cruising was bound in the already arranged desert, with no guidance or even room for people. Millennium sigh
5. The great reason of human nature will also be hidden in the filth of society, and the realization of this great reason is often too weird for normal people to tolerate. On the contrary, the great light of social history is often at the expense of many important propositions of human ontology.
6. If life and history are divorced from the construction of trivial things, then they do not belong to the real world. -Yu
7. Because of dignity, everything is silent and independent, standing quietly; Because of self-reliance, the world is traceable and orderly. Without dignity, the world is a mud pond. Gentleman's way
8. The actual steps between mountains and rivers have turned all the great achievements into ordinary scenery, so let's relax. Humans should have put everything down, between mountains and rivers. So we also found the end, the end of value, the end of life. Cultural roaming
Yu Quotations
Yu Quotations
1, a person's moral character is basically formed in his youth, but unfortunately, in that crucial era, young people are always encouraged to strive for success, and the so-called success is always branded with xenophobia and selfishness. As a result, they have no wrinkles on their cheeks, but they have dug an invisible black hole morally.
2. Middle age is an extension of youth and a farewell to youth. This farewell is not only the variation of a series of ideas, but the self-confidence of a mature person who can finally stand on his own feet and handle various problems at will.
3. The experience of being the master of middle-aged people is the last spiritual weaning. You suddenly feel that you have finally got rid of some dependence on your parents, brothers and teachers, which always haunts your youth; For leaders and organizations, it seems closer, but it shows its own independent existence. You have become an indispensable point in the social structure network; Therefore, you have tasted the real loneliness, unprecedented fragility and unprecedented strength in life. In this way, young people with diverse experiences have a clear orientation and choice.
Once people have the experience of being masters of their own affairs in middle age, they will understand how ridiculous the textbook-style life dogma is. In charge of such a big stall, new problems are appearing in every corner all the time. There is no room for talking about and playing with concepts except observing the actual situation keenly and carefully and solving every sticking point realistically. At this time, life has become very ethereal, and I can't remember any rules except a few big principles of life. I think this is an excellent state of life, with a wide range and great flexibility.
The persistence of middle-aged people has risen from viewpoint to personality, which is beyond words. They seem to have no opinions on their heads. They know that as long as they adhere to their own personality principles, many seemingly opposing views can be inclusive and interdependent, and they can all be transformed into reasonable existence one by one. As a result, in front of middle-aged people, a lot of confrontation disappeared, and the opponents of earlier years could not be found. Yesterday's enemies didn't have much hatred, but more cared for people of all ages. Please don't underestimate the word "care". At least half of the charm of middle-aged people is related to this.
The most terrible thing for middle-aged people is to lose their hearts. This is more harmful than the gaffes of young people and old people. The main feature of middle-aged people's insanity is forgetting their age. For a while, I hope others care about me like young people, and for a while, I hope others respect me like old people. After middle age, he always lives at both ends and refuses to settle down at his age.
7. In a certain period, in a certain society, even if all young people and old people are possessed and absurd, as long as middle-aged people are not absurd, things will not be bad. I am most afraid of the absurdity of middle-aged people, and the biggest absurdity of middle-aged people is to forget that they are middle-aged.
8. Under normal circumstances, old age is always more leisurely, always able to face nature again without utility, and always strolling in the garden of memories. These are the characteristics of poetry and literature. Old people may not write poetry or have stopped writing poetry, but they live in the form of poetry. Looking at the lively market, watching the younger generation come and go, watching the flowers in the yard wither, watching the spring grass green, my thoughts are intermittent, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, and sometimes really illusory.
9. The age of the elderly also has a positive slow-release function, reducing the burden for the young and middle-aged society. Irresponsible young people, with improper spoil, ruined the age of the old, but after all, there are still calm and wise people among the old, silently clinging to the indifferent dignity given by age.
10, don't use too much age, because it is naturally unfair and indisputable, but once it is really used, it will have moldy age hegemony, so don't be afraid. I don't know where the silver hair flashed, but suddenly a high god appeared who could subdue them. The smoke dispersed, leaving only the smile of Gao Shen looming in the sky, and the world at this time has long been clear. A pair of hands about to shake hands with the world, let me see a poetic sacredness.
1 1. No matter how difficult the world is for young people, they often need the help of some old hands. It is not easy to see at ordinary times. Once something happens, it will be extended in time, and then disappear immediately after the rescue. Dragons can see the head but not the tail. This is a kind of recessive culture and flexible culture that has already withdrawn from the social subject. The hardness of the years is precipitated in the hidden softness, which can make future generations have an epiphany for a moment, such as meeting with heaven and man. The charm of old age, in such a high position, should also be revealed occasionally. Don't rush, don't force, don't rush, let them become the freehand brushwork of life, as light as thick, as if there is nothing.
12, it is complete and natural to see what scenery and enjoy what flowers in what season. If you disturb it on purpose, you will destroy the conditions and taste at both ends. "Warm Winter" and "Joan Hinton" are not normal astronomical phenomena.
13, zg's ancient paintings, whether bleak and barren rivers, arduous treks in mountains, birds in spring and young eagles on cliffs, as long as they are passed down from generation to generation, will contain a profound sense of life. Beethoven's symphonies are all life symphonies.
14, history, can also obtain human biochemical treatment. At first, it may be just a metaphor to call the early childhood of human beings and the cradle of primitive civilization the cradle of human culture, but gradually people see more profound significance in it. You can observe the life history of an individual. Therefore, once history is treated biochemically, it will become vibrant and easy for people to observe. Regarding history as life, both outlook on life and history are transcendental and artistic.
15, the integration of nature and life can easily bring attractive mystery. The mystery of human primitive art mostly comes from this first encounter between nature and life. The development of the times has greatly diluted this mystery, but as long as nature and life are truly opposed, this mystery will reappear. The mystery of nature is inexhaustible, and so is the complex relationship between life and nature. Therefore, the mystery can't be erased.
16, if the promotion of every kind of knowledge is at the expense of the withering of life, what is the ultimate goal of secular knowledge? If brilliant knowledge civilization always brings such a heavy burden to people, then in another thousand years, will mankind not be submerged by its own spiritual achievements? If spirit and body are always contradictory, depth and youth are always out of reach, and knowledge and games are always opposite, then when can we care about the self-improvement that human beings have longed for since ancient times?
17, we know too little about the world. Countless unknowns surround us, which keeps life interesting. When one day, everything in the world can be explained clearly, the world will become very boring. Life will become a simple trajectory, dull repetition.
19, people have a variety of lifestyles, and the degree of life civilization is different. People who live on the fifth floor need not criticize the low level of the third floor at all, let alone whether you are on the fifth floor or not.
20. In all kinds of life situations, the most important thing is the deep friendship between foreign land experience and hometown consciousness. Wandering desire and returning consciousness complement each other. This kind of situation, across national boundaries, is becoming more and more ancient and modern. As a life paradox full of charm forever, it is amazing.
2 1, the road to life is to start from the place of birth and go further and further. I was born myself, and the life I started from this is to let myself deal with all kinds of dissidents. The result of the treatment may be to lose yourself, or to return yourself to a higher level.
22. No matter how important you are in the future, one day you will escape from the excitement and ride alone, just to meet the mountains and rivers. If you go far, you may meet someone, like a woodcutter and a passer-by, who appears between you and the mountains and rivers. Just a few words can surprise you and lead you in your life. However, God can't tolerate such perfection. You are doomed to lose him, and at the same time you will lose most of your life.
Although the process of life will be greatly influenced by society and the times, the basic clues that run through it are always inseparable from one's own individual life. The integrity and coherence of individual life will constitute a great power, so that any little point in life points to the overall value.
25. I hope that more people in the world will cherish their every step, be diligent in recording, be willing to review, dare to laugh at themselves and be good at correcting, so that the whole life can irrigate and nourish each other.
26. Excellence is outstanding because it is rare. Why don't we risk associating ourselves with rarity? Since everyone is ordinary, don't despise secular years and ordinary time sequence. Don't put all your eggs in one basket, don't swear, don't pray for miracles, don't fantasize, just walk slowly and responsibly day by day, walking on the two-way road of memory and yearning. This will have the usual taste and realm. It's too cold at the top of Mount Everest, so it doesn't matter anymore. The first realm in the world is between the plains and mountains. Autumn wind, reed white, fishing boat far away, smoke oblique. Life has a beginning and an end.
27. Some people confine their lives to spying on each other, guessing each other and getting lost, while others release their lives in the vast land.
28. As far as life is concerned, it should be a balance between mountains and rivers. The water's edge gives people joy, while the mountains give people comfort. The waterside lets us feel the impermanence of the world, while the mountains let us know about Heng Chang. The waterside allows us to enjoy the excitement of traveling away from the arms of our elders, and the mountains allow us to experience the long and heavy taste of returning to our ancestral homes. The philosophy at the water's edge is not giving up day and night, while the philosophy in the mountains is not knowing the sun and the moon.
29. Average, moderation, * * poverty and mutual degradation under totalitarianism have cultivated the extraordinary concern and vigilance of the general public for excellent images. This psychological habit has become a natural axiom after a long period of "unification" and "big pot rice" in this century, so it will inevitably extend to a new era. Almost every reform explorer has been harassed by jealousy, not to mention the successful one. It is easy for people to distrust everything in front of them and look for the secret of opportunism behind the rapid success of others.
30. Civilized human beings are always keen on archaeology, just trying to pick out the history compressed in the soil and stretch it out to spy out the truth of their ancestors. Then, archaeology is to return home, that is, to explore home. Visiting one's hometown on the spot often leads to years of sighing and unspeakable loss, which makes countless wanderers want to retire; There are not so many psychological obstacles in visiting hometown underground, and the whole place is filled with historical poetry and imaginative pleasure.
3 1, I still remember the shock when I first read The Humble Treasure by Belgian writer maeterlinck. He believes that a person who suddenly finds his first gray hair in front of a mirror contains more tragedies than Shakespeare's duel, poisoning and assassination. Is this a bit alarmist? At first, I was deeply suspicious, but after thinking about it for two days, I finally understood that it was true. Everyone will meet the first gray hair, and no one can avoid it. So this tragedy seems very small and real, and it is simply a long and slow battle. Dueling, poisoning and assassination are just accidental events, which can kill people quickly, but the first gray hair connects the beginning and end of life into a long logical line, and any section of life is connected with it.
32. No one should avoid and cover up some of the simplest and natural life topics, such as age. No matter how high the position, no matter how much wealth, no matter how great the disaster, compared with the passage of youth, the vicissitudes of years, the eyes of young and old, and the interweaving of life and death, it has become superficial. The northern geese were singing, and the old emperor and the old beggar heard it together; Cold mountains sweep graves, but the tears of the elders and the tears of the younger generation are different in weight.
33. What human beings love to praise and praise is the first love, but at that time, they can't tell whether they are teenagers or young people, and they haven't even figured out who they are. How can they complete their emotional choices for life? Therefore, that kind of choice is basically incorrect, and human beings knowingly praise without hesitation, and inaccurate praise will inevitably lead to two-phase abuse; In this kind of praise and abuse, people will gradually mature, know all kinds of opposite sex, and finally find the "only one" in middle age. But most of these discoveries are meaningless, because they are burdened with heavy burdens that cannot be unloaded, and even accurate discoveries are often impossible to achieve. Since it can't be realized, don't care too much about discovery. Even the "only" can only be indifferent and say goodbye. The scene here, as long as it can be expressed calmly, is already a mockery of human beings.
34. I don't approve of praising young people too much, but insist that it was an age full of traps. Life will encounter traps, but the traps in youth are the most, the biggest and the most dangerous.
35. Old people praise youth, mostly focusing on the infinite possibilities of youth. But they forget that this possibility is often a narrow road when it comes to specific individuals. If you choose one possibility by mistake, you will lose other possibilities. Although young people still have a long way to go and can constantly re-choose, a real person is limited by various social relations and objective conditions and does not have much freedom to re-choose. The tragedy of "a slip of the foot makes a lasting regret" happens everywhere, but most slips don't look like a slip.
