Question 2: How can we realize the belief of a true minimalist?
There is an ordinary bedroom in the Herman Twin Towers in East Berlin, Germany. The sun shines through the spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling windows, and all the furnishings in the room are only a white bed and a yellow floor lamp. Other than that, there is nothing else. This is Eva, a German female architect? Maria? Stadell's home in East Berlin. She lives and works in it, but she doesn't have a dazzling array of items like other designers. Don't be surprised, Eva is neither a believer in some eastern religions nor a frugal ascetic. She is just a minimalist designer and has turned this minimalist aesthetic into her life belief.
There are no unnecessary furnishings, and daily necessities are reduced to a minimum. Eva said, "This extremely reductive way makes it easier for people to focus on a few objects in the room." This kind of environment makes people feel calm and makes your senses sharper. "This is the basic belief of minimalists. Also believe in minimalism is our great Mr. Jobs. It is said that Jobs had very few things before his death, except the black coat he wore all the year round, and only a set of expensive audio equipment. Jobs is also a Zen believer, and the decrease of things reflects the cleanliness of his mind from one side. There is no clutter, no distractions, so there is a perfect state. Apple's simple and fashionable product style and corporate culture are inseparable from Jobs' ideas. It can be said that it is because of Jobs' simplicity that Apple is popular all over the world.
We live in an era where garbage is rampant. Every blink of an eye, thousands of mobile phones, thousands of computers and thousands of clothes are transported to garbage stations all over the world. These items were not discarded because they lost their use function, but because the enterprise released an updated version to replace them. These new versions are just stories made up by enterprises in order to earn more profits. They use various modern means of communication to trick consumers into paying for them. And these so-called newer and better things will soon become yesterday's flowers on garbage trucks. So, what do consumers get? A real improvement in the quality of life? Or show off the fashion and decency of capital? Is it the gentle enjoyment of inner pleasure? Or endless desire to buy? Is it a smell? Is it texture? Is it necessary? Is it a manifestation of self-personality? Or foam? Is it fast food? Are you chasing the wind? Is it unwilling to lag behind?
The proliferation of materials involves not only environmental protection, but also our mental problems. Advertising enslaves and catalyzes our desire to buy things we don't need. To this end, we work hard. I exchanged 100 hours of overtime for a donkey bag, and then spent more time in exchange for a diamond necklace and a luxury car, perhaps just for a propaganda word in the advertisement. Once upon a time, before diamonds entered the consumption field, people lived well. Later, I was brainwashed by a diamond company, saying that diamonds are the endorsement of love, so we have another goal in life: diamonds. Later, more and more industries brainwashed people, and our life goals began to become huge, including clothing, mobile phones, perfumes, digital cars, beauty salons and star-rated hotels. Come here. Only missing: ideal. On the material level, we know that we want this, that and everything. But once we get back to the essential level, we are at a loss. We know nothing about the concepts of life and time, and our perception of the surrounding environment is weakening day by day, sometimes even worse than a kitten. All this depends on the alienation of matter. We trade our lives and time for meaningless industrial replicas, and these replicas have become a burden, because we need to spend more time cleaning, using and taking care of them. When we complain about being buried in the trivial things of life, maybe it is our own things that are buried. This is the alienation of things to people.
Therefore, for minimalists, they know what they want and can better distinguish what they don't need. He would rather spend 100000 yuan on a painting by his favorite artist than spend 4000 yuan on a tablet computer he doesn't need. Because things must serve their own life ideals, not change their life ideals for things. Shu Guozhi, a writer in Taiwan Province Province, has rented a house so far, and there is no air conditioner or TV set at home. This is shabby in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is the basis of Shu Guozhi's happy life. He drinks expensive wine with friends in high-end hotels during the day and sleeps soundly in clean rooms at night. There is nothing to disturb. Go to ... >>
Question 3: What is a minimalist lifestyle? Minimalism advocates the modernist style of rationality, rules, order and high efficiency. It hopes to "simplify the complex" and reduce people's pressure and burden. baike.sogou/v63597024
Question 4: Minimalism, as a life attitude, has always been rooted in a life style and attitude. From the ideological origin of "minimalism", it is closely related to the teachings of western Protestantism (Protestantism * * *) and Puritanism, as well as the lifestyle of believers. For example, the "western sects" and "tremor sects" of American Protestantism have had an important influence on "minimalism". Most of these believers oppose extravagance and waste and advocate a simple and simple lifestyle, so their church design avoids decoration, has a clear structure and creates a sacred, quiet and peaceful religious atmosphere. This practices a famous saying of Luce: "Decoration is evil." Their life is also extremely simple, and their utensils, houses and daily necessities have been carefully designed and maintained and will be used for many years. This is a simple way of life in order to accumulate social wealth on the premise of material shortage. Our contemporary so-called "minimalist lifestyle" does not stem from material shortage. It is a new way of life called by human beings in modern industrial society because of overload and excessive busyness. Just as expensive "minimalist architecture" is no longer affordable for the poor and the public; In modern society, a lot of leisure and long-term vacation is also a luxury, which has become the enjoyment of some specific classes. It can be said that "time is money" has become a reality, and we always use the ruler of money to measure time. Rich people give up making money in exchange for personal freedom and space. For example, many emerging "green-collar classes" and "backpackers" actually come from the upper middle class. At least they should have economic weight and long-term and stable living security. This situation is just like the agricultural society in ancient China. Only gentry are entitled to "leisure", and "leisure" is the patent of gentlemen. Mr. Fei Zhengqing talked about the situation of "taking leisure as the ideal" in Chinese traditional agricultural society: "Those who spend their leisure time are most respected, not those who do better than others in busy business activities." At the first opportunity, poor farmers want to "change from a man working in the field to an arty gentleman in a gown". Long nails in the old China era are the cheapest signboard invented by people since ancient times to show their leisure status. "However, regardless of ancient and modern China and foreign countries, rich and poor," the desire to simplify the complex "can achieve the purpose of" simplifying life ". Because it is based on subjective wishes, it is effective for people of any economic situation. It can be said that "simplifying desire" is an effective method for everyone. China Zhuangzi's indifference and Tao Yuanming's leisure all come from this. Their desires are limited, so they can satisfy the simplest life. Zhuangzi? " "Happy Travel" said: "Wren nests in the depths of the forest, but there is only one; The mouse drank the water from the river, but the river was full. "It reminds us that everyone's basic living needs and what they can actually enjoy in this world are very few. It's like a thirsty squirrel. If he drinks water by the river, he can fill his whole stomach at most. Other rivers are useless to him. However, now many people's desires can expand to occupy the whole river. What is the need for this? Tao Yuanming has a poem called "The Second Main Book of the Republic of China (I)". It says: Love the forest in front of the hall, and store shade in midsummer. Kaifeng, fly back and open my chest. Have a rest, lie down and play the pipa. Gardens and vegetables are abundant, and ancient valleys are still stored. It is excellent to run your own business, but it is not admirable to go too far. Brew wine. I'll pour it when it's ripe. Weak children play on my side, learning language is not perfect. Speaking of forgetting the hairpin, it's really a pleasure. Look at the white clouds in the distance and miss the past. What is presented here is the simplest and most primitive way of life: at noon in summer, the author takes a nap reading a book and playing the piano. He sees the shade in front of the hall, and a timely cool breeze blows away his clothes; He thinks that vegetables and food are just enough, but if there are too many, they are not what he needs; His youngest son is surrounded by him and has not fully learned to speak. Such daily trifles can make the author feel endless fun. It can be said that the poet's heart is completely immersed in an indescribable joy and joy, which comes from his natural fit and deep induction with heaven and earth, and from the harmonious realm of "harmony between man and nature": everything is timely and suitable, conforming to heaven, and not extravagant. Such a kind of happiness depends on the author's narrow desire: only when a person's desire is narrow can he be easily satisfied and easily satisfied. This is the broad-minded lifestyle that China literati yearn for. It is precisely because Tao Yuanming and the ancients in China have similar lifestyles that he thinks he can talk to the ancients ... >>
Question 5: What kind of material life is the minimalist lifestyle of westerners?
A, living in a small house, the house is a flowerpot, and people are plants in the flowerpot. The flowerpot is too big. If it doesn't work well, it will be wasted. The exchange of material depends on the operation of human mind, and human mind will consume RMB and damage it. Material luxury is a crime against life god, that is, to take life and reduce the number of lives.
B, use a small refrigerator, do not eat leftovers, vegetarians do not need to freeze. It is absolutely far away to open your eyes and see the toxic soul signals left on the corpses of animals with high spirituality. It is one of the sources of diseases and disasters. Eating the vitality of the universe directly will not only be vegetarian, but also avoid eating a lot of things, and human resources can be greatly saved. There is no need to raise so many animals and food for human consumption, which reduces the chances of many crimes.
C, you don't need to study, learn the Tao Te Ching well, have great wisdom, and learn from yourself without a teacher. Even if most people can't reach it, the learning the day after tomorrow must always be careful to destroy the innate wisdom system, otherwise they will live a bad life. Education and parents must first understand what the human body is innate, or they will become executioners who stifle national hopes.
D, simple and beautiful social standards should be widely rooted in people's hearts, without cosmetics and camouflage, connected by innate qi and the vitality of the mother universe, and people's cells return to infancy, making people younger than any cosmetics. Seeing who you really are, worshiping your own Yuan God and God of Life, full of inner life energy and shining with wisdom, everyone will be as beautiful as a fairy.
E, close to primitive people, back to the mother's womb, no one will get sick, and the medicine in the hospital can be greatly reduced. That is the medicine king of the human body itself, and no artificial medicine can compare with it.
F, the perfection of life is the standard of development, not the so-called development of stupid economic figures that this unscrupulous material development sends people to the grave prematurely.
Specific methods of minimalist life
1, reduction. Minimalist lifestyle is a lifestyle that follows "subtraction" and eliminates complexity, such as removing some boring social interaction, unnecessary interpersonal communication and redundant work. Only by eliminating complicated tasks can we highlight some decisive key tasks and devote our limited time and energy to these tasks. A prerequisite for getting rid of clutter is that there should be one or several clear central goals in a specific period of time, and one can simplify one's desires and constrain one's behavior to act around these goals. People who have a central goal but are not good at restraining themselves are also easily drawn by various temporary interests, lost in the sea of Wang Yang where Wang Yang pursues interests, and ultimately accomplish nothing. For example, some people go online to inquire about a specific information, but they are constantly attracted by other contents on the webpage and wander from one point to another. As a result, they unconsciously wasted a lot of time, but still failed to complete the original task.
2. repeat it. Here, it is not a derogatory term that complicates life. The so-called "repetition" means that the same part appears repeatedly in different time periods or spaces. In minimalist music, there is a repetition of a single tune. The repetition of the same syllable or phoneme greatly simplifies the tune and forms a light, calm and calm music style. In life, there are also ways to achieve simplicity through repetition. Because repetition has many functions, it can reduce the burden of memory and so on. If our mobile phone number is three consecutive numbers (three numbers are repeated continuously), then the burden of memory will be reduced a lot. This "simplification" is achieved by reducing the * * * of new things and new situations for people. When new situations arise, we are forced to spend more energy to adapt and always be on guard against accidents, thus maintaining a high degree of vigilance. And when life "repeats", everything is easy.
3. Order. Just as all minimalist buildings attach importance to "rationality", "rules" and "order", minimalist life also emphasizes maintaining the order of life. Only "order" can bring true simplicity. Cutting corners in places that should not be simplified, saving time and money, often makes things more complicated. For example, to keep the office clean and tidy, even if you need to spend a few more minutes every day, you should put books, pens and documents back in time, keep your desk in good order, and gradually form good habits. On the surface, it seems to be a waste of time, but it will make your office environment clean and elegant, and you will feel comfortable naturally. More importantly, it is conducive to the management of goods and greatly reduces the time you waste looking for a certain commodity; At the same time, it also saves you the trouble of finding urgently needed documents. An orderly life is a truly simple and efficient life.
4. efficient. Extremely >>
Question 6: The political significance of minimalist lifestyle 1) is conducive to promoting the virtue of thrift.
2) Conducive to building a harmonious socialist society,
3) Conducive to the formation of good social customs.
Question 7: the material life of minimalist life embodies a. living in a small house, the house is a flowerpot, and people are plants in the flowerpot. The flowerpot is too big. If it doesn't work well, it will be wasted. The exchange of material depends on the operation of the human heart, and the movement of the human heart will consume yuan and destroy it. Material luxury is a crime against life god, that is, to take life and reduce the number of lives. B, use a small refrigerator, do not eat leftovers, vegetarians do not need to freeze. It is absolutely far away to open your eyes and see the toxic soul signals left on the corpses of animals with high spirituality. It is one of the sources of diseases and disasters. Eating the vitality of the universe directly will not only be vegetarian, but also avoid eating a lot of things, and human resources can be greatly saved. There is no need to raise so many animals and food for human consumption, which reduces the chances of many crimes. C, you don't need to study, learn the Tao Te Ching well, have great wisdom, and learn from yourself without a teacher. Even if most people can't reach it, the learning the day after tomorrow must always be careful to destroy the innate wisdom system, otherwise they will live a bad life. Education and parents must first understand what the human body is innate, or they will become executioners who stifle national hopes. D, simple and beautiful social standards should be widely rooted in people's hearts, without cosmetics and camouflage, connected by innate qi and the vitality of the mother universe, and people's cells return to infancy, making people younger than any cosmetics. Seeing who you really are, worshiping your own Yuan God and God of Life, full of inner life energy and shining with wisdom, everyone will be as beautiful as a fairy. E, close to primitive people, back to the mother's womb, no one will get sick, and the medicine in the hospital can be greatly reduced. That is the medicine king of the human body itself, and no artificial medicine can compare with it. F, the perfection of life is the standard of development, not the so-called development of stupid economic figures that this unscrupulous material development sends people to the grave prematurely.
Question 8: There is a bottom line in the premise and measure of "simplification" of minimalist life. Not all life and affairs can be simplified, so the premise of "simplification" should be considered first. First, "simplification" should keep what you need. Simplification always involves discussion of the bottom line. What kind of life is the simplest? Although some people will advise us to quit from some areas of life, "simplification" has a bottom line, and we can't omit those parts that are necessary for individuals. The first, second and fifth standards will take the "Dink" phenomenon as an example, but they are also universal to other phenomena. Some dinks voluntarily don't have children, hoping to bring more convenience to life. However, a survey conducted by the Social Investigation Center of China Youth Daily in 2007 shows that even if it is possible, most people are still unwilling to choose this method. The survey found that among the 2,685 participants, although 86.3% thought children were a burden; But only 1.6% people made it clear that they would definitely not have children. This shows that fertility and reproduction are still the desires of most people. Although children are a burden (45.2% people think it is a heavy burden), most people in China still think that children are an indispensable part of "happiness". Therefore, for most people, "children" are an indispensable part. Second, "simplification" should respect the "differences" between individuals. The standard of simplification varies from person to person, and there are individual differences. What is necessary for some people may be omitted for you. For example, some religious people in the society, as well as a small number of single people with double income and no children, have chosen to quit some areas of their lives and give up marriage or having children, thus reducing the possible troubles and making today's family types and social structures increasingly diversified. If someone thinks that everyone must be suitable for "getting married and having children", then the differences between individuals are not fully respected. Third, "simplification" must meet the standards of "nature" and "ease", otherwise it will be difficult to last. For example, when we just clean the room, it will look very neat. However, after a while, chaos began again. The reason may be that we don't take care of the needs of daily life and put all the things we use frequently in the cupboard, so it is difficult to keep it clean for a long time. Fourth, "simplification" cannot be changed too much or too drastically. After simplification, people will not feel great discomfort. Our life should be relatively stable, and we should strive for "stability and change" instead of drastic and leaping changes. Fifth, the effect of simplification should be evaluated as a whole. We can't simplify some parts and make others more complicated. Otherwise, it is not "simplification" but "complication" in disguise. For example, for a small number of people who are unwilling to give birth in society, although the burden of children is "simplified", it may also make the problem of providing for the elderly more complicated. So Dink's life has both advantages and disadvantages, which is suitable for everyone. We should have a comprehensive consideration of life and evaluate the effect of simplification as a whole. Sixth, "simplification" is for your own life. "Minimalism" itself is only an ultimate goal or trend, not a fixed ruler, nor a definite and the same standard suitable for measuring everyone. We can't say whose life and what kind of life can be called "minimalist life". In fact, everyone's life is hard to compare with others'. But we can say that your life has been simplified as much as possible compared with the busy life before, and it can't be simplified any more. This is the "minimalist life".
Question 9: What books about minimalist life are worth recommending? Recommend two classic works of minimalism, Breaking Up, V.S. The Sequence of Heartbeat Life.
"Breaking Up" is more Buddhist, and the first few pages of the book have photos before and after finishing, so that people can know what they are talking about at a glance (in fact, there are only four pages); The only photo of Heart-pounding is the author himself, and the only photo about finishing is only at the waist of the book.
In fact, both books are being lost! Throw it here. Throw it here. What you don't want is "broken", "abandoned" and "separated"; If there is no exciting object, you will say, "Thank you! Contact again! Both authors have a large number of believers by giving lectures, and they both say that there are no cases in which these believers need to go back to the pot for further study. Similarly, the two books are the same, but in fact they all repeat the same truth from different angles and personal experiences.
In fact, the central ideas of the two books are very similar. Duane has a lot of truth in this book, and Peng has more details to share. Duane said in this book that classification and storage should be separated. If you don't sort things out first, you'll spend your whole life sorting and storing them. This reminds me of many gift cards in department stores, because everyone doesn't want to use them, so they are always piled up in their own warehouses. But businessmen all know that the storage cost is actually a big cost, especially when we are eager to buy clearance goods at low prices, they are actually lambs who help the store pay the storage fee, and then these gifts that cannot be used or made are a kind of waste in disguise. The author Eiko Yamashita believes that if you are reluctant to use good things, you can put them away, but you still force yourself to use bad things, so that your taste will never improve, and it will also affect others' views on you! Therefore, it is necessary to recover the lost space and energy through parting. Renovation, like a reservoir, refuses the upstream sediment to flow in first, and removes the accumulated old sludge on the other side, so that more space can be found, and over time, there is no need for renovation. What if someone gives them gifts they don't need? At this time, the friendly wall that can be hung on the mobile phone with photos is an application that gives up the concept (English name is yourole, Chinese name is "Flesh"). This application allows you to give extra things to people in need. Giving things to people in need is more environmentally friendly than throwing them roughly. People call this way "putting things". Publishing articles not only eliminates the mental burden of throwing things, but also eliminates the fatigue of selling things, because delivery efficiency is high.
A very important concept mentioned in Duan is that it is not "this" or "can't", but "I" or "do you want to use it". The key is "me", because there are too many things that can be used, and there may be only one thing that can be used (thought).
This is also the meaning of Peng's book. If you want to use it, you must use something that can make people feel excited, so that life will be full of mysterious Japanese happiness. To be able to say that, of course, it has to be in Japan, which is rich in materials. The book reveals a terrible fact: "The more accommodating people are, the easier it is to pile things up. Because I put everything away and forgot what was in it for a long time, I kept buying, piling and storing until the explosion hit. Moreover, it talks about the important concept of finishing, that is, when finishing, what you want to choose is not what you want to throw away, but what you want to keep and throw away the rest! Marie, the author of Peng, talks about the arrangement of two parts, one is to judge whether the items should be thrown away, and the other is to determine the orientation of the items, because if the items left by the first level are displaced, they will gradually occupy the surface of the earth like aliens, which makes people feel at a loss. So you'd better develop the obsessive-compulsive disorder that you must throw away according to the book, and don't let the lost items wander on the street.
Because "Peng" likes to talk about small examples, I will share them: for example, use drawers instead of storage boxes with lids, because people will drift away quietly at the thought of the trouble of opening the lids. Don't use tied or rolled socks when finishing, because socks are hard enough to wear on people's feet, so let them have a good rest, otherwise they will soon break if they are too tight. Also, don't degenerate outdated clothes into household clothes. This is like not replacing old shoes with home shoes, because the fundamental positioning of the two is different, so don't confuse them. In other words, things are easier to find when put away. For example, books are much easier to find when put away than when folded, and so are clothes.
Also, don't fall into the trap of "slowly starting to clean up", which will never be finished. You must fight to the end! Anyway, we must start with losing things. It is difficult for people to lose things because they always feel ... >>
Question 10: Several contents of minimalist lifestyle Keeping pets and loving small animals is a course for us to return to nature. Animals are our teachers, they do nothing naturally, everything works with nature, and nature is our inner mirror.
