Quiet and elegant
The words Jing and Ya should be known for what they are.
"In the final analysis, it is said to be quiet", which is the words of Lao Tzu, and he also said, "To the extreme, keep quiet". The root is the foundation of life and the source of power, how to keep it? The root of the tree is below, in the thick soil. How does a hundred-year-old tree guard its roots? Human roots are not feet, feet are tools. The next important thing is to learn to use this tool, take the first step in life, and then walk the vast road of life in a down-to-earth manner. The genitals are called dust roots, and they are also tools. The roots of man are above, in the mind, and it is called "spirit". There are "Liushen Pills" in traditional Chinese medicine, which means that people's heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, spleen and gallbladder have their own destiny. People can't make up their minds and are at a loss, which is called the six gods without a master, which refers to the fact that the six gods are all there, but there is a lack of a commander who is determined. The human spirit is in charge of everything, but the spirit is virtual, "to the extreme", after concretization, it is commonly known as thought.
Mencius defined "spirit" as follows: "What is desirable is good, what is self-sufficient is faith, what is full is beautiful, what is full and glorious is great, what is great and transformed is holy, and what is holy and unknowable is God." ”
It's not about being stupid, it's not about doing nothing. Stillness has connotation, direction, and purpose.
Chicken hatching eggs is a kind of stillness, tiger licking calves is a kind of stillness, and the countdown before the rocket launch is still a kind of stillness. The mountains are quiet, there are trees on the mountains, there are people in the mountains, and there are mineral deposits under the mountains. The deep sea is quiet, but the waves are raging in the deep depths, and the shallows by the sea are splashing. A monk meditates in a temple to practice and correct his thoughts and actions.
Xin Qiji has a poem that explains the attitude of tranquility: "You must know that it is easy to forget the world, but it is difficult to forget the world." "It is easy for a person to avoid society and hide in a small building to become unified. When society takes a person seriously, and the person still doesn't take himself seriously, the heart is calm.
Ya, it doesn't mean to do face-saving work. In ancient times, Ya was a term for the imperial court, and Yayan was an official dialect, which is equivalent to today's Mandarin. Grace is the music of kings when they hold great ceremonies. Yaliang is a big drinking utensil, and Yaxing is a feeling that is difficult to control. "The Book of Songs" is divided into wind, elegance, and song, and 105 articles of elegance, which are divided into big and small elegance. Most of Dayari is political lyric poetry, acupuncture of current politics, and sentimental times. Little Yarido is the actual experience of ordinary people: "The way is slow, thirsty and hungry." My heart is sad, I don't know how to mourn!"
Ya also refers to standards. "Erya" is the first dictionary in China, containing more than 4,300 words, not only to explain words, but also to explain things. "Wood is the flower, the grass is the glory, the one who is not glorious and the real is the show, and the one who is glorious but not the real is the Ying" is the release of grass, "the water is injected into the river and the stream, the river is said to be the valley, the valley is said to be the ditch, the ditch is said to be muddy, and the muddy is said to be desecrated" is the release of water. "Erya" is a canon, one of the thirteen classics. Ya from "teeth" from "Jia", is to bite the text and chew the word, Ertong, Erya means to approach the standard. The set in the clouds and fog is not elegant, and it is not elegant if you don't eat the fireworks in the world. The word Ya makes the two idioms of elegance and vulgarity and gentleness thin.
The heavy words Jing and Ya have been slimmed down in modern life.
