People need a little spirit, a little psychic spirit. Man is not a god, he cannot step on auspicious clouds or take his own head with a halo, and the spirit of human psychic needs to be implemented in some psychic time. Chen Jiru in the Jiajing and Wanli periods of the Ming Dynasty listed some psychic times in Oriental culture in the "Taiping Qing Words": "Where burning incense, trying tea, washing inkstones, drumming and piano, school books, waiting for the moon, listening to the rain, watering flowers, lying high, surveying the square, passing the scriptures, negative Xuan, fishing, painting, gargling springs, supporting battles, worshiping Buddha, tasting wine, feasting, turning the scriptures, watching the mountain, posting, carving bamboo, feeding cranes, the right is the pleasure of one person alone." ”

The psychic time listed above requires a number of utensils to be realized: incense burner and incense are required for incense, tea cups, teapots, and tea are needed for tea trials, inkstones are needed for washing inkstones, and guqin is required for drumming.

I often put a few ancient artifacts on my desk, most of them can be used, drinking tea, drinking, burning incense, most of them are from the Song Dynasty, get along for a long time, see the bright moon in front of the window, know that this month has been according to the ancients, will ask for Su Dongpo, "When is the bright moon?

One lamp. Northern Song Dynasty built a kiln rabbit milli lamp, skimming mouth, diameter of about 10 cm, black tire, sauce yellow glaze, there are vein-like black brown patterns in the glaze, commonly known as rabbit hair, the bottom of the pot is neatly trimmed, the glaze outside the bowl is not to the end, and the condensation is like tears.

A can. Song Jinjun kiln amphora, open, no neck, oblique shoulders, circle feet, inner and outer walls are full of thick glaze, and the bottom foot is not glazed.

One seal. Song Yuan carved sheep button white jade seal, Weiqin, two centimeters by one centimeter square, the Song Dynasty likes to carve sheep with jade, the carving is very fine, the sheep is calm, the face is composed of multiple faces, reflecting the characteristics of animal jade carving in the Song Dynasty.

It's hard for me to describe the beauty of this lamp, a jar, and a seal. I have always believed that the primary purpose of literature is to seek truth and explore the endless light and darkness of human nature. True beauty can only be understood but not spoken. Words are often weak in the face of true beauty. Bai Juyi said Yang Guifei, "Hibiscus is like a face and a willow is like an eyebrow, how not to cry about this", but after so many years, Bai Juyi's poem has been handed down, and we still don't know what Yang Guifei looks like.

If it is difficult, use words to describe the oriental aesthetics presented by these three objects:

Oriental aesthetics are all about practical beauty. The mouth edge of Jianzhan is very thin and skimmed outward, when drinking tea, the upper and lower lips are pasted, very obedient, the wall of Jianzhan is very thick, and the tea soup is not easy to cool when poured in; the shape of the Jun kiln jar is very beautiful, even if it is not flower arrangement, it is very eye-catching on the desk, the glaze is thick, today after a thousand years, it can still be used as a practical Jianshui, no leakage or seepage; today after a thousand years, the jade seal is still slippery and greasy to touch, and it is smooth and smooth.

Oriental aesthetics is the beauty of inheritance. When there is no need to change, the craftsmen of ancient times tried their best to inherit the beauty carefully shaped by the craftsmen of their predecessors, respectfully obeyed their orders, meticulous in details, and did whatever they wanted.

Oriental aesthetics are all about the beauty of nature. None of them seem to be the product of subjective design, and the craftsmen of ancient times simply worked to restore them to the way they were intended. Pick up the green and black Jianzhan and drink a sip of the ancient trees picked in the spring of that year, cold and sweet, the spring of the mountains and forests is between the lips and teeth, "a cup of floating light yellow, the cup of spring breeze fragrance". Insert a lotus flower into the Jun kiln jar, as if raising a lotus flower in a small azure pond, "the rain over the azure clouds, such a color will be the future."

Aesthetics does need talent, but talent needs to be dialed, and acquired edification can also make up for the lack of talent to a considerable extent. Spending more time on these psychic things makes it easy for people to be spiritual. Use more beautiful things to do these spiritual things, and people are more likely to have spirit. Spirit is matter, and matter is spirit. When I was young, I liked to see the essence through the phenomenon, read thousands of books, traveled thousands of miles, and often figured out the world and the world, hoping that one day I would be at ease. People grow up slowly, like to skip the essence to see the phenomenon, a day of tea, a night of wine, an undisguised, purposeless meeting, a group of friends who do not talk about serious things, with beautiful things to kill the time that must not be kept. The so-called essence has always been there, and it is the same.
