For most people, reading is a state of life, representing a leisurely and peaceful time. During this time, people are no longer kidnapped by all kinds of things in the world. They can empty themselves first and then fill themselves with other people's words. Those human joys and sorrows that personal experience can't meet, those worlds that personal vision can't reach, those quips in one word ... meeting any of these words is a wonderful experience, which makes people feel at ease and full.

Modern society is like a high-speed machine, in which everyone plays a role. As the machine turns faster and faster, people are pushed forward and exhausted. Mr. Zhu Guangqian, an aesthete, once said: "Learning and doing business can only be regarded as the second thing in life. Life first is life. When I say "alive", I mean "enjoying", "appreciating" and "cultivating vitality" If you forget life for study and career, that kind of study and career will lose the true meaning and value of life. " These words are worth pondering and pondering. Tonight's "Chang 'an Night School" we walk through the words and feel the slow beauty in the torrent of life.

Private music

Wu Na, a young guqin player, played this song "The Silence of an Empty Mountain", which is soothing and full of guqin sounds, stirring, soft and firm, horizontal and vertical, just like the elegant splash of ink by a great artist. The flute is deep and full of lingering, and inexplicable disappointment arises spontaneously. The combination of Guqin and Xiaoyu not only protects the independence of the two kinds of music, but also makes the whole music language full, ethereal and profound. Its rich expressive force has made a magnificent spiritual feast. Wu Na once said: Playing guqin is to help us live a better life and make our hearts as free as running water. The flute sound of "Silent Mountain" is combined with the slow and distant piano sound, which makes the artistic conception more exciting, and you can listen attentively and forget yourself.

Speaking of slow life, perhaps many people misunderstand the meaning of slow life. Many people think that opening a small shop and living a leisurely life is a slow life. So, if we can't open a shop all our lives, we can't enjoy a slow life? Or can we only wait until we retire in old age and do nothing to lead a slow life? You don't have to wait until you open a small shop, you don't have to wait until you retire in old age, and you don't have to complain about the fast social environment. Slow life is not an illusory slogan. It is actually a technical activity that requires both brains and brains. We need practice and persistence to experience slow life here and now.

So, what is a slow life? Slow life is a rhythmic and balanced life. Rhythm represents rhythm, just like music, which has ups and downs, passionate melodies and smooth movements, forming a complete music. People's living conditions should be the same, fast and slow. Here, "fast" means to face high work efficiency and not delay, but not accumulate negative emotions in life, promptly guide and actively face and solve large and small problems encountered in life. Fast reflects action and execution, and slow is a state of mind. Even in the face of a rapidly changing society, we should stick to our principles and follow our hearts, not only with our eyes, but also with our ears, touch life with our hearts and build our own aesthetics of life.

Slow life is not blindly slow, but fast and slow complement each other and promote each other. The ancients said that relaxation is to form one's own harmonious rhythm and rhythm. Just like long-distance running, the starting point moves forward quickly, the midfield slowly slows down and keeps moving at a constant speed, accumulating strength and sprinting to the finish line at the last 100 meter. Think fast, think slow, and lead the rhythm change yourself. Like a music conductor, we can better complete the movement of life.

Facing the busy streets every day, we always rush to our destination with the flow of people. We are familiar with the law of "the shortest straight line between two points", but gradually forget Jiang Xun's sentence, "Sometimes, beauty means that when everyone is fast, you slow down." If you slow down, the scenery will naturally become clearer.

Jiang Xun's "Beauty by Slowness"

Speed is a wonderful thing. From the earliest walking to the appearance of various means of transportation, we see that people are getting faster and faster, which is why we hope to have more space or know more things in our short life, and this desire is also a reason for the progress of human civilization. And slow, there will be beauty.

Beauty is a choice, even a kind of abandonment, not greed. When many things are in front of you, you should have an education and know which ones you should choose. The same is true of living. We see that many people's furniture and decorations are very expensive, and there is almost no place to pile them at home. In fact, it may be less and it will become a kind of beauty.

The true desolation of the soul comes from too many * * *, that is, you constantly * * * eat enough of yourself in taste, satisfy yourself in clothes, or buy a more expensive house in living conditions, and constantly invest to make money. In fact, this cool feeling is not necessarily aesthetic, but * * *.

Sometimes, beauty is when everyone is fast, you slow down. You might as well give yourself a chance to experience a different sense of speed, such as walking, such as riding a bike, when you are not in such a hurry to go to work or school. Sometimes it seems a luxury to mention walking or riding a bike in the city where you live.

Today, if you want to slow down, you encounter two difficulties: one is that the design of external objective traffic does not provide the possibility of slowing down. When you are walking in the street, sometimes you can't slow down because the person behind you will push you. I remember when I went to new york in the 1970s, 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 the people behind you have speed and rhythm, and they are all rushing forward. The second difficulty is the rhythm of our own psychology. I often feel that a friend has been busy for five days and is already on the road, crowded in a motorcade, and spent his life in traffic jams in a society and city with poor traffic design. You can definitely understand his irritability and emotional anxiety. If you can't stop by the second day of the weekend, you may be anxious to discuss with your spouse and children and say, "Where are we going?" Can we go out to play today? "But I played in a hurry, and then I might get angry again.

At this time, I will feel that perhaps the word "leisure" has become an aesthetic quality worthy of our rethinking. Don't forget the two Chinese characters "leisurely". The bottom of "leisure" refers to the state of mind, which is a dialogue process with one's own mind. The Book of Songs says "I am carefree", which means that as soon as you go out, you feel that your heart has feelings with all external spaces. If you can't feel the external environment too soon, it's not "I'm carefree". "Leisure" also means slowing down, because you will have a spiritual feeling when you slow down.

The word "leisure" is more obvious. How long has it been since you leaned against the doorframe to see the moon? The word is the moon in the middle of the door Or to put it another way, there is "wood" in the "door", which is also "leisure". How long has it been since you leaned, walked and enjoyed the cool under the big tree in front of your house? You think the shade is beautiful.

The word "carefree" reminds us that you don't have to run far, you may feel it at your doorstep, but what matters is the leisure in your heart. Leisure is to first turn one's mental impatience and anxiety into a slower pace.

When we slow down, we will feel different from our hearts. Have you ever thought about how many rich things in life you missed by driving fast on the expressway and arriving directly from point A to point B? I often tell many friends that the longest point in a person's life is from birth to death. If it's a straight road from birth to death, then I'd rather pass slowly, or even give up the expressway. I'll take provincial roads or circuitous mountain roads, so that I can see more scenery. My life can be extended to a longer distance. I don't know if this is illogical, but point A has the fastest distance and the fastest speed. We thought that everyone must choose this road, but it is not necessarily. In every process, there are things that you should stop to browse, appreciate and feel in your life.

This is why advanced countries have specially designed pedestrian walkways in cities to remind us, encourage us, or imply that you can have a car, but you don't have to drive. I think this goes back to the basic aesthetic law we just mentioned-beauty is something you have, but it is not necessary. We don't want to be slaves of material things. For example, I can eat more or less. I have many opportunities to eat strange foods such as hump and bear's paw, but I can also choose to eat buds just coming out of mountains or bamboo shoots. Those foods that are not very expensive, but let me taste the light taste of life, this is beauty.

Poetic slow life

In today's fast-paced world, when we are tired, when we stop to read a roll of ancient poems and appreciate the "slow life" of the ancients, we may be envious. Try to think about it, the weather is warm, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and two or three confidants are invited to have a few drinks, take a leisurely walk and watch the clouds roll and the flowers bloom. How comfortable and fast!

Tao Yuanming, a reclusive poet at all times and at all times, really slowed down his life. Tao Yuanming has a free and easy "slow life". In "Drinking", he "picked chrysanthemums under the hedge and saw Nanshan leisurely." His "Return to the Garden": "A warm and distant village, the smoke from a kitchen in Yiyi market." He said in "Life in Migration": "Curious words are appreciated and doubts are analyzed." His rural life is beautiful, with spring flowers and autumn moon, summer rain and winter snow. Take a slow time to feel these beauties, put your soul in quietly, and cultivate a piece of poetry in your heart. Slow down, listen to the sound of flowers, watch bees buzzing on flowers and pick up the joy of spring; Slow down, listen to the first bird song in the morning and watch the first sunrise. Slow down and listen to the child's talk, the joy and trouble in his young mind; Slow down and listen to your inner voice.

Studying Wang Wei in Shi Fo is like living in an empty mountain and a deep forest. Looking at a beam of sunshine, through the gap in the forest, sprinkled on the moss in the forest, and then caressed a song, the piano sounded in the ear, comfortable and leisurely. In the quiet "Slow Life", Wang Wei listens to nature: "People are idle and osmanthus flowers fall, and the night is quiet and spring is empty." "The pine wind blows me, and I am beautiful." If you are in a bad mood, you can find a secluded place to listen to light music and let the notes fly away unhurriedly, leaving a deep impression in your mind, but it will last forever. Life, only slowly, can be like these faint notes, and truly taste the high life.

Su Dongpo's carefree "slow life" exists in his wandering life and in the gap of life. He sighed in "Linjiang Xian": "The boat died from now on, and the river and the sea sent the rest of their lives." In "Water Melody", he said: "Dancing to find shadows is like being on earth." In Fu on the Red Wall, he said with emotion, "What a reed does makes you feel at a loss." What is the "canoe" of life after crossing the "Chung Shan Man" between rapids? It's a Ma Pingchuan, so we should slow down, paddle lightly, leisurely and sing loudly, and the scenery on both sides of the strait is swaying like this.

After reading "Xiao He just shows his sharp corner, and the dragonfly has long stood on his head", I have a better understanding of the freshness and elegance in Yang Wanli's poems. Watching children play after a nap is more in line with life. Yang Wanli's Slow Life is a leisurely life. You can "sleep mercilessly for a long time and watch the children catch willow flowers." You can even "dream of the bottom of the boat in the afternoon, full of smoke and water." You and I can also give life its original face like him.

Li Bai, the most romantic poet, how can he live without poetry and wine? Traveling all over the country, he is chic and has no burden in disguise. This is his own life. Li Bai's spontaneous "slow life" can be seen in Drinking the Moon Alone: "Until I raise my glass, I ask the Moon and drink three cups." You can "buy wine and buy Bai Yunbian in the moonlight in Dongting" just for a glass of wine and a bright moon, so that you can live a rich and comfortable life. Life is a hard battle, and you have honed yourself hard, all for the sake of life. You can ignore the beautiful scenery and be in a good mood. How can we live up to our short life?

Postscript of Chang 'an evening self-study

British writer Bernard Shaw once said: "It is a pity to be young only when you are young;" For me, with the growth of age, my life is more fulfilling and I know how to enjoy life better. Now is the best time. "Although life is very busy in all aspects, we can always find some time. On a sunny morning, we can stroll around a teahouse, sit down, make a cup of fragrant green tea, quietly enjoy the bustling pedestrians, listen to the city symphony composed of various voices, and completely relax ... We can also find a weekend, take advantage of the good time, go out, exchange greetings with friends and talk about home. Slow down the pace of life, learn to appreciate, learn to be ordinary, you can leave a period of time to read the breeze and bright moon, or you can leave a line of footprints for the melon and bean fields.

Slowness is an attitude towards life and a realm of life. Slow, can relax muscles and relieve stress; You can cultivate your will, your temperament; You can meditate and explore the world, or you can return to nature and live longer ... learn to slow down! Feel the different beauty of life in the slow life. When I slow down, it seems that time slows down with me. A day can be that long. Full time, every day, every detail of life is so beautiful and full of leisure. What we really want is not material but spiritual wealth. The so-called slow life means that no matter how complicated and noisy the world is, we can always find a rhythm that suits us and always make our hearts calm and calm. Even if life is boring, you can find poetic springs and explore the scenery that makes you happy.
