Chapter 692 Who in the world can be out of the world

Who in the world can get rid of the vulgar Zhang Baotong 2018.1.13

There is a "Okay Song" in "Dream of Red Mansions": "Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, but only the fame cannot be forgotten! Where will the ancient and the modern meet? A pile of grass in the barren mound is gone! Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, but only the gold and silver cannot forget! In the end, they only hate and gather little, and when they reach a long time, their eyes are closed! Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, but only the wife cannot forget them! On the birthday of the king, he says kindness, and the king dies and goes with the people! Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, but only the children and grandchildren cannot forget! There are many infatuated parents in ancient times, who has seen the filial piety of their children and grandchildren? It is said that everyone in the world envies the gods, but who is not busy with his wife and children and fame and fortune in life?

The poem "Okay Song" is written profoundly and realistically, incisively and clearly, revealing the end of life's hard pursuit and hard work in the world, but it makes people feel pitiful and sad. However, if you think about it again, if you live in the world, you don't want fame or profit, and you don't get married and have children, so why does he come to this world? How does he embody the value and meaning of his life?

Immortals are good, but who of us has ever seen immortals? Even immortals must have food and drink, shelter and clothing, joys, sorrows, birth, old age, sickness and death. If he is a god, empty-handed, and surrounded by walls, not to mention that no one will envy him, even if he dies, he may have no place to be buried. Look at the world today, what doesn't need money to buy?

In fact, fame, money, beautiful women, and children and grandchildren are the dreams and goals that each of us pursues in our lives. As long as a person is successful, money and beauties are naturally at his fingertips, not only can he have a group of wives and concubines, but also children and grandchildren. Therefore, seeking fame is the highest state of a person's success. Throughout ancient and modern times, in China and abroad, in order to seek fame, some people hang their bones and taste their gall, some people go to the soup and die for life, some people flatter and speculate in camps, and some people forget their righteousness when they see profit and recognize thieves as their fathers. Cui Xiang, a famous poet and minister of the Tang Dynasty, was willing to sacrifice his beautiful wife and daughter to the crown prince for his personal future, so as to obtain a high official. Moreover, fame is often associated with official positions, and with fame, there is also official position and power, not only can he shade his wife and seal his son, but also can attain the Tao alone, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven and benefit family relatives and friends.

If you want to gain fame, you either rely on military exploits, hard study, or stammering and bribery. If you don't have these skills and opportunities, you have to find a way to do business and make money. As the saying goes, "money makes the devil grind", and money is sometimes a shortcut to fame. In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, relying on money to open up relations, buying and selling official positions abounds. Not to mention ordinary high-ranking officials and concubines, even the emperor Duba looked at others to give him tribute and gifts. Human society is a society of money and money, and what else can't be bought with money? You can not trust anyone, but you don't believe in money. Money not only allows you to provide for your family and have no worries about food and clothing, but also allows you to enjoy many earthly pleasures and blessings. You can have nothing, but you can't do without money, in fact, with money, you have everything.

Some people say that money can buy many things, but there are also many things that can't. Proportions of health, longevity, happiness and love, among others. Actually, it depends on how you understand it. To live a healthy and long life, it is necessary to have the necessary living conditions, and happiness and love also require money. Without money, love and happiness will certainly not patronize you. It's just that people's basic living requirements are different, and for many people, as long as they have no worries about food and clothing, and no worries about food and clothing, the need for money is not so urgent. However, when you are suffering from a serious illness or starvation or cold, then money becomes extremely important.

Of course, for the vast majority of ordinary people, there is no need to worry and worry about daily life, and the reason why they are still earning and saving money is because earning money is not only for them to live for their needs, but also to reflect the value of their lives. Because in today's society, earning more money is itself a sign of a successful career and a glamorous life.

Women are also a manifestation of a man's success. Because a woman is also a valuable attribute. A woman's appearance, age, origin, and occupation are all an indication of a woman's worth. Marrying a young, beautiful, and noble-born woman is the lifelong dream of all men. And a woman's youth and beauty are a kind of capital for women. This capital is usually fully used by the woman's mound and herself in exchange for the goods and wealth they need. A girl doesn't need to be smart, as long as she is beautiful enough, she can achieve her dream of stepping into the sky. Such as Cinderella and Snow White. They all fell in love with the prince, got happiness, and passed it on. But who has heard that a beautiful and kind princess is married to a poor child? Poverty is a man's shame and helplessness, so he will not be encouraged and sympathized. Moreover, all women in the world like rich people and want to live a rich life. If a man from a poor family wants to obtain a young and beautiful woman, he can only study and make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, or he has to work hard to earn money. Without money, a beautiful woman will not marry you, and even if she marries you, she will not live well.

People work hard all their lives to earn money and marry wives, not only for enjoyment, but also for inheritance. Future generations are seen as incense that is passed down from family to family. And cutting off children and grandchildren is the most powerful and ugly sentence of the Chinese. Because the absence of offspring means that the root system is broken, and there is no hope. This is more tragic and terrible than not achieving fame and being poor all the time. A person has no money and no name, but as long as he has a child, he has hope, because he can send hope to the child. But if there are no descendants, and there is no successor, then who will inherit his money and family?

Fame, money, wives, concubines, and children and grandchildren in the world are not unreliable people and things in the world. Because life is limited, you have a limited amount of time to enjoy and possess, and after you die, people and things that belong to you may be owned by others. But you have enjoyed life, and there are successors, it can be said that the scenery is a lifetime, and this life is worthwhile. Therefore, the mood in "Okay Song" is very negative and pessimistic. In fact, as long as you can walk in the world, no one does not regard fame, money, wives and concubines, and children and grandchildren as their dreams, even if they are poor all their lives, they will chase them relentlessly.

Everyone will have different dreams and pursuits. But no matter how lofty and magnificent his dreams and pursuits are, when it comes to reality, they are nothing more than fame, money, beautiful wife, and children and grandchildren. Only when a person is based on the present, will he think about the future, only based on himself, will he look at the world, and only by taking into account these specific and realistic needs will he have a more ambitious goal and pursuit. On the other hand, if a person is not moved by fame, money, beautiful women, and children and grandchildren, sees through the red dust, and has nothing to do, then will he still have vitality and motivation in this world? If we all go to be immortals, only care about ourselves and do nothing, do not farm to earn money, and do not marry wives and have children, then can human beings continue to survive and continue? Therefore, it is very negative and unrealistic to regard people living in the world to make meritorious achievements, get rich, covet wives and concubines, and care for their children and grandchildren as being blinded by lust and not yet enlightened. So, let's say that this "Okay Song" promotes a nihilistic idea of escapism. In the past and present life, the red dust is rolling, and the materialism is rampant, and who of us in reality can not eat the fireworks of the world?

Therefore, none of us can escape the vulgar, and this vulgar word is reality.
