I found that the world was getting noisier and quieter, and my days were getting quieter. I like to live quiet days. (Zhou Guoping)

Close your eyes and be quiet, open and noisy

Liang Tianning, Class 3 (2) of 2015 Guangzhou No. 2 Middle School

Zhou Guoping said: "The world is getting more and more noisy, and my days are getting quieter and quieter. "In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the world, every thinker like him longs for a quiet corner. Silence is a kind of freedom of thought, and it should exist. Silence is not silence, and those who keep quiet should have the bosom to open their eyes, step out of the quiet room, and be with others.

In today's world where there are so many avenues of communication, it is becoming more and more difficult for us to keep the quiet space, but we are more and more eager to keep it. Silence brings cleanliness, and there is nothing else, a space for yourself. Thoreau built a house on the shore of the lake, abandoning the hustle and bustle brought by the status of an Athenian consul, and kept a quiet space and a calm heart; Keeping quiet, but also guarding independence, guarding a pure land of the soul.

It is only in a quiet, chaotic world that we have room for independent thinking. "To the extreme, keep quiet", the inspiration all comes from the silent and silent world, but we usually lose ourselves in the hustle and bustle, messy heart, there is no shortage of Shakyamuni in the world, there is no shortage of seven days and seven nights, what is missing is a Bodhi tree, a quiet land and pure land with no traces.

Without undisturbed independent thinking, how can we gain insight and true knowledge, and how can we have a calm social atmosphere? Still water is like a mirror, and koi fish swim in the middle of the stream; the tide crashes on the shore and recedes. The tranquility of Japan is the result of unique thinking and refined customs. China is making trouble, it seems that a hundred schools of thought are contending, but if you look closely, there are few pearls, most of them are just words of wisdom and seconding words. Quietness not only allows individuals to contemplate and develop, but also allows society to have the wind of thinking.

However, guarding the heart is not the same as being alone, and being quiet is not the same as being silent. Xiong Peiyun believes that it is necessary to have independent thinking in the midst of the noise, to integrate into the group with independent thinking, to close one's door to oneself, and to be at best He Yan; In the same way, closing oneself in a world of bliss is not beneficial to oneself or to others. Only by applying knowledge and action can we make ourselves more and more perfect and make the society gradually more harmonious. Socrates discussed in the downtown area, Confucius preached with others on the apricot altar, Sihao entered the court, and Xie An went out of the mountain, wouldn't it be dissolved into the bosom of the noise? If we still turn a blind eye to it, ignore it, and be a "Mr. Xiyi" today, when ISIS is rampant, gutter oil is in charge, and external troubles are endless, and what is the benefit to the world?

With our eyes closed, we should keep the peace of our hearts, embrace the harmony of our souls, and be quiet and clear in a world without distractions. Pushing open the window, we should go to the society, to the reality, and when we improve ourselves, we should be cool and hot. In this way, we can be worthy of heaven and earth, and finally be at peace with our hearts.

Brief comment: This is a category (above). The idea of the article is in line with the topic, and the understanding of the connotation of the material is profound. It begins with the first paragraph of the material given, and then goes deeper into the necessity of "keeping quiet" for individuals and society. On this basis, the relationship between "quiet" and "noisy" is analyzed dialectically. The content of the article is substantial, the discussion is in-depth, the logic is rigorous, the language is expressive, and it has cultural connotations. Deficiencies, Thoreau's examples are not used accurately enough, and individual sentences are slightly jerky.

Hear your heartbeat in the midst of the noise

Senior 3 (2) Class Chen Xueqing

The world seems to be getting noisier and noisier these days.

Whether in reality or on the Internet, all kinds of voices fill our ears. No matter what happens, it can always attract a lot of discussion, and it is very noisy. We can't help but ask: Is such an increasingly noisy world caused by the impetuousness of people's hearts now?

Some people answered "yes". So they chose to turn a deaf ear to the hustle and bustle of the world, and to live a quiet life by being alone in the midst of the noise. Such an approach is certainly admirable.

And I have to answer this question: No. The fact that there are many voices may not mean that people are all shouting and screaming. The many voices also let us see a kind of enthusiasm for the public to express their opinions. We live in this world, and we have the right and responsibility to care for and understand what is happening in this world. In this information-rich world, it is also important to be able to think about the information obtained and express the results of that thinking. Nowadays, the emergence of social platforms such as Weibo has provided an excellent medium for the public to express their hearts. It's better to have all kinds of sounds than silence. In the noisy world of microblogging, although there are many retweets and onlookers who follow the trend, a large number of very valuable opinions can still emerge.

In fact, these emerging "essences of the hustle and bustle" have one thing in common, that is, they all have distinct and firm positions and opinions. Although these voices have different and sometimes contradictory views, so that both sides sometimes fall into heated arguments, they are all the opinions of the people who hold their own opinions, and they represent their own inner voices. And the "noise" we are looking forward to is composed of such voices: in the torrent of overwhelming discussions, they do not lose their way and go with the flow, but choose to hear their inner voice clearly, stand firm, and stick to their own opinions, so they appear to stand firm, not easy to be refuted by others, and can collide with other ideas with their thinking to produce more meaningful content. And that's exactly what our society needs.

A society in which everyone keeps silent and everyone is in danger will inevitably fail to adjust and progress. Sometimes our society needs to be noisy, and we need all kinds of different voices to collide with the spark of ideas. In history, if there were no such noise in which a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, there would be no admonition from the ministers, no enlightened politics, and no grand revolution. Today, without this noise, there can be no exchange of ideas and no progress.

As citizens living in such a noisy era, what we should do is to stick to our beliefs, and while actively participating in this era of vigorous development and rapid change, we can hear our heartbeat clearly in the noise and feel the extraordinary meaning of life in our thoughts.

Calm their minds and move their bodies

Senior 3 (3) class Wu Guanjie

Some people like a quiet and quiet life, watching the tide rise and fall, and the clouds rolling up. Some people like the bustling and noisy life, watching the silver grate of the head of the tin shattered, and the blood-colored skirt turning over the wine stain. Wang Xizhi believes: "Although there are many different interests, restlessness is different, when they are happy with what they encounter, they can temporarily get it to themselves, and they will be happy and self-sufficient." It is true that everyone lives in their own restlessness, and it is beyond reproach, but I think the best attitude of life is to calm one's mind and move one's body, that is, to devote oneself to the hustle and bustle of society with a calm and calm mind.

Confucius believed that the highest ideals of scholars were: righteousness, self-cultivation, unity of family, governance of the country, and peace in the world. It can be seen that inner cultivation such as righteous self-cultivation comes first, and actions such as governing the country and leveling the world come last. Everyone has been in the hustle and bustle of the red dust since birth, and the most important thing is to be able to retreat and calm their minds. The connotation of meditation lies in being able to calm down and study painstakingly to improve one's inner self-cultivation. This kind of meditation is Sun Bin's exploration of the art of war, Han Yu's absorption of the essence of poetry and books, and Zhu Xi's study of culture, which is different from Tao Yuanming's singing and chanting in the peach blossom source created by himself. The former is for the accumulation and saving of practice, and the latter is only for the pursuit of personal inner freedom and pleasure.

The purpose of setting out is to devote oneself to the hustle and bustle of society and observe the various social conditions, so that theoretical knowledge can be organically combined with social practice and internalized into a deeper life experience. Just like the great poet Du Fu, he went deep into the bottom of society, felt the suffering of the people, and left an immortal poetic history that reflects the cruel reality and people's strong aspirations. Another example is Lu Xun, who observed the various social conditions and sharply attacked the bad roots of the Chinese people with the pen and brush, and every stroke was a heart-wrenching cry to awaken the Chinese people. The highest state of departure lies in dedicating oneself to the tide of transforming society, just as Sun Yat-sen, after quietly seeking a way out to save the country's survival, campaigned for the overthrow of the decadent and decadent Qing government and the establishment of a new society of freedom and equality. Another example is Mandela, who, after experiencing personal ideological struggles and struggles in prison, devoted his blood and life to the realization of his political ideas and the great cause of black liberation after he was released from prison.

Restlessness is never opposite, restlessness is complementary and complementary. If one blindly meditates and detaches oneself from the hustle and bustle of society, then this kind of tranquility has no other meaning than satisfying one's personal feelings; if one does not devote oneself to the hustle and bustle of society through meditation and self-cultivation, then one will eventually be assimilated by the hustle and bustle of society and become a part of the crowd. Only by calming one's mind, cultivating one's body, and increasing one's inner self-cultivation can one always be calm and calm when entering the noisy society, not forgetting the original intention, and comprehending the world, and then governing the country and the world.

Isn't it the best state of life to calm one's mind, move one's body, endure loneliness, and withstand prosperity?

Be a quiet person in the midst of the hustle and bustle

Studying the third (26th) class of high school Lu Mengyuan

This is an era of gold, this is an era of grandstanding, people come and go, traffic is busy, and the noise is incomparable. Countless people are buried in the hustle and bustle of the world, longing for the day when they become the center of the world, but I only want to be the quiet person in the hustle and bustle.

I would like to be a quiet person in the hustle and bustle, but I don't want to be a hermit away from the hustle and bustle.

Mo Yan once said that hustle and bustle is an aspect of social life, and this phenomenon is not entirely negative. Because of the hustle and bustle, there will be competition, because of competition, there will be motivation, and because of motivation, society will progress and develop. Ji Kang stayed away from the hustle and bustle, and only made the > into a swan song, which was regretted by the world; Tao Yuanming stayed away from the hustle and bustle, was intoxicated with the countryside, and left a talent for governing the country; Xu Yan of the Three Kingdoms stayed away from the hustle and bustle, and begged for the land and asked for the house, which was despised by the scholars. They are all dirty people who have seen the hustle and bustle, but this kind of passive avoidance of the world, the behavior of being a recluse is not conducive to clearing the hustle and bustle, finding the meaning of life, not helping to make a great contribution to the world, leaving no talent, which is embarrassing.

It's not what I want, and it's not what the world wants.

Therefore, I envy Yue Fei and Wen Tianxiang's iron bones, I admire Du Fu's concern for the country and the people, and I admire Xin Qiji's manhood in writing from Rong, they are all quiet people in the hustle and bustle. They accept the hustle and bustle, they do not stay away from the hustle and bustle because of the evil after the hustle and bustle, they use their own sobriety to become a quiet person in the hustle and bustle, and use this quietness and sobriety to wash away the sins after the hustle and bustle, so as to drive more people to become a quiet person in the hustle and bustle.

The so-called tranquility is because we are sober, so we do not seek fame and fortune, and we do not go along with the world; the so-called being in the hustle and bustle is because we are concerned about the people and the world, and we are worried about this era that is too noisy and chaotic; and the so-called nobleness and so-called greatness are like this. And I don't want to sink into the closed world of Zhuang Zhou, like Zhou Guoping like to live a quiet life, but I want to bathe in the feelings of Confucius to enter the WTO, and I am willing to do something for this era, this era that may have many defects, like Qian Xuesen and Luo Yang.

Society is noisy, Zhou Yongkang, Xu Caihou, Zhang Shuguang and other people are intoxicated with the hustle and bustle, forgetting the quiet abounds, and it is not uncommon for celebrities to become monks, devote themselves to practicing Buddhism, and passively avoid the world. Their actions have brought too much loss to the people, to society.

I have talent, I will never waste it, I have a heart, I will never lose morality.

Don't be a lost person in the hustle and bustle, don't be a hermit outside the hustle and bustle, just be a quiet person in the hustle and bustle, can you?

If the heart is quiet, there is no need to be noisy

Class 21 of the third year of high school Wang Tianran

If you close the open windows, you can ignore the hustle and bustle outside. If you close the window of your heart, it is difficult to find inner peace. As Zhou Guoping said, the world is getting more and more noisy, and he only likes to live quiet days. Or, for example, Mo Yan argues that the hustle and bustle as an aspect of social life may not be entirely negative. Noise and silence seem to be contradictory, but they are actually taken from the heart - if the heart is quiet, there is no need to be noisy.

Under the prosperity, there is a grand silence. Once lost in the shadows of the stage lights, the noise flowed overhead like flowing water, and my world was as silent as night. Once wandered in the history of the yellow sand jade platform, and listened to the extravagant signs of the eternal Yu, but also glimpsed the peace of the present world of "the heart is far away from itself". If people can't find their place in the hustle and bustle, they will fall in love with the silence of the fields. And if you are quiet for too long, the restlessness of your inner desire for hustle and bustle will be uncontrollable. Between the noisy and the quiet, hundreds of worlds.

Looking back at the years of mountains and rivers, the literati in ancient times seemed to be happy and quiet. Tao Qian's "knot in the human realm, without the noise of cars and horses", tells the style of the literati of the Wei and Jin dynasties, despite the hustle and bustle of the world and political chaos, only a quiet heart is enough. British stream-of-consciousness writer Virginia M. Living in an age of female humility, the screams of the patriarchs failed to shatter her inner peace, Woolf wrote "Mrs. Delovy in a room of one man", shaking the nerves of an entire century with quiet and delicate strokes.

The hustle and bustle of the outside world is a metaphor for the rapid development of society, and too many voices and temptations are like invisible giant nets to bind hands and feet. Some die in the hustle and bustle, and some are reborn in silence. Only by sticking to the peace of mind can we find a pure land of the soul in the hustle and bustle of this world.

Chinese female writer Xiao Hong walked through the first half of her life in the uproar, and burned out the second half of her life in the flames of war. When the flames of the Anti-Japanese War ignited the land of China, when Xiao Jun, Ding Ling and others were wrapped up in the torrent of the times and rushed forward, this "literary Roselle of the thirties" once issued a desperate cry - "You know I have nothing else to ask for, I just want to find a quiet place to write!" The world is getting more and more noisy, but Xiao Hong's days are getting quieter and quieter, even if the world is bustling, if the heart is quiet, there is no need to be noisy.

Even though everyone cherishes the ideal of "the present world is stable and the years are quiet", most people's pursuit is often trampled on by the present practice. And the criticism and reflection that are bred in the hustle and bustle are not entirely negative. Writer Han Han went down the river in the midst of the uproar, sounding the alarm for the world between verbal criticism and writing; actor Huang Bo used noisy music and exaggerated performances to impact contemporary aesthetic fatigue; and Guo Meimei, a wealthy woman on the Internet, is indeed despised by the world, but she also urges society to reshape its value standards...... Such realizations cannot be obtained behind closed doors.

The hustle and bustle is not only noisy, but also reflective. Silence is not just silence, but also perseverance. You don't have to chase the realm of nothingness outside your body, if your mind is quiet, there is no need to hustle and bustle - that kind of silence is also an amazing expression.

Return to quiet

Senior 3 (21) class Wu Ruijun

The world is a bit noisy.

The traffic is busy, the lights are bright, the sound is lustful, and the reputation and interests are ...... They open their teeth and claws, open their mouths of blood, accompanied by flattery, flattering voices, and the glamour of the world of flowers, and pounce on you like hungry tigers and wolves. It's like the demons of hell giggling at you, come down.

In the face of this noise, you have some headaches and discomforts, and there is only one thought in your mind - to return to quiet.

Zhou Guoping lamented that the world is getting more and more noisy, and his days are getting quieter and quieter, and he likes to live quiet days. Tao Yuanming planted beans in Nanshan, and the grass was full of beans and seedlings, and he could also enjoy himself, only because of "the heart is far away", and it is not interesting to return to quiet.

Return to silence, save your soul from the mundane world, wash in the sweet spring of your heart, shake off the annoying noise.

Sun Yang returned to quiet step by step from the noise. The winner of many gold medals in freestyle proudly looked at the world on the top of the mountain, and the mountain was silent, but Sun Yang was young and vigorous, and he fell into the noisy abyss, which was not cold at the heights. In the days when he was forbidden to compete, he returned to quiet, dried his soul, quietly reflected, quietly practiced, and quietly climbed to the top. He won three gold medals in the Asian Games, and after crying with excitement, he was the shy boy we are familiar with, the king of swimming.

Tang Wei, the goddess of literature and art, also had a period of time in the noisy world, and she boldly stripped off her clothes in "Lust and Caution", which set off a storm in China, and after the storm, she was banned. But Tang Wei chose to return to quiet, she studied quietly in Hong Kong and in England, studied quietly, and accumulated herself quietly. And now, in this noisy world, she has become a quiet and gentle Oriental Pearl.

"I have crossed mountains and seas, and I have also crossed mountains and seas. I once fell into the darkness of the night, trying to struggle and couldn't extricate myself. I was disappointed, lost, lost all direction, until I saw that the ordinary was the only answer. Pu Shu, who sang "Ordinary Road", has entered the eleventh year of his return to quiet. Ten years ago, the entire music industry was in a clamor because of Pu Shu, but Pu Shu resolutely stayed away and left his silent back to the world. As the lyrics say, in this noisy world, Pu Shu returns to quiet, precisely because he understands that ordinary is the true meaning of the only answer.

Returning to quiet, such as Li Taibai, who enjoys all the favor and is talented, does not break his eyebrows and bends his waist to deal with the powerful, and walks the world with a sword. Return to quiet, such as Ouyang Xiu, who is willing to be a drunkard, travels in the mountains and rivers drunk, and enjoys with the people. Return to quiet, such as returning to the idyllic Tao Qian, leisurely see Nanshan.

Return to quiet, say goodbye to the hustle and bustle, wash your soul, and success is between talking and laughing.

Bloom silently in the hustle and bustle

Senior three (25) class Tan Wenting

I want a quiet life. Sit silently on top of everything, watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, and watch the clouds roll in the sky. Just as the quarrel of the fish in the water is not related to the water, and the fighting of the birds in the sky is not in the way of the sky, I stand silently, existing, sitting on the ground and traveling 80,000 miles a day, surveying the sky and looking at a thousand rivers from afar.

Silence is the tolerance of all things, the inner tranquility, and the will to live in a minimalist and true way. Even though there are fresh and bright spring colors in the hustle and bustle, peerless and independent beauties, and chivalrous deeds of happiness and revenge, these are not worth a light of weak tea in your hand, and you can't match the simplicity of a bowl of porridge. When the spring fades, the beauty is twilight, and the sword is old, all the hustle and bustle will fall silent, and the silent things will still be silent.

Have you ever tried to watch a rain of smoke from beginning to end? Watch a tree bud bloom from bloom to fall? Do you do this not for meditation, nor for elegance, but just to experience the quiet fun in the leisurely landscape. Only when you experience the joy of silence will you be attracted by silence.

Having a tolerant heart for all things is the foundation of silence. Tolerance here refers not only to individuals and countries, but also to righteousness and thought. At the same time, tolerance is based on understanding, understanding the unspeakable hidden of others, understanding the suffering of people's lives, understanding the norms that everyone believes in and the bottom line they adhere to, so as to achieve tolerance for everything. Embrace different differences, don't argue, don't demand. When this can be done, silence begins.

The higher level of silence is the peace of mind. Indifferent to fame and fortune, pampered and humiliated. Inner tranquility comes from a transcendent state of mind. He has millions of soldiers, and he is loved and not envied; he is poor and destitute, and he has no way to sustain himself; he kills people like hemp, and his crimes are extremely evil, and he is not evil. Treating all things equally, treating all beings equally, the so-called tranquility, is nothing more than that.

And the final silence lies in the minimalist and true will to live. Coarse tea and light rice can be eaten, luxurious delicacies can also be eaten, coarse cloth short brown can be worn, silk and satin can also be worn, thatched huts and grass pavilions can be lived, and ten thousand palaces can also be lived. No longer worry about things outside the heart and body, and in the end, all that is left is a transcendent spirit and a simple and true will.

As the saying goes, silence lasts forever. Only silence can store the spirit. The silence I longed for seemed to have endless energy to soothe the waves in my heart, and it seemed like a delicate blow that could not be pieced together. But it is firmly there, day after day, and it attracts me day after day.

I chased the silence, but I was afraid that the footsteps of the chase would disturb the silence. Maybe I'm too immature to know that silence comes quietly in silence. I hope that one day, you will see me and bloom silently in the hustle and bustle.

Entering the world and leaving the world

Senior 3 (1) Class Lin Yifeng

As Zhou Guoping put it, "living a quiet life in a noisy world" may have been the spiritual pursuit of scholars since ancient times, but the "hustle and bustle" in Mo Yan's mouth does indeed speak to the essence of social life, and it cannot be without benefits. Since I was a child, I heard a word from my father's mouth, "entering the world and leaving the world", which can be used as a way to answer the above two.

People are born social, and perhaps this kind of bondage that comes with life is regarded as a shackle by some people who try to pursue the ultimate freedom, but as it is said in "The Unbearable Lightness of Life": this makes people have weight, so that people can step on the earth, and if you break free from this involvement, you will float up and become incomparably light—this "lightness" itself is unbearable. The hustle and bustle of society is, to some extent, a warrior of social energy, which contains arguments, heated arguments, and thus creation. In this sense, experiencing the noise, or participating in the creation of the noise, is itself a process of life growth.

On the other hand, if you completely abandon this kind of hustle and bustle, which may be a constraint for the individual, you may only be waiting for endless darkness and death. For example, Gu Cheng fled to the island with his wife, a poet who wrote pure poems such as "God gave me a pair of black eyes, but I used them to find light", but because of this childishness, he did not see the whole world, but was only immersed in the paradise of his own imagination. If you can't accept the hustle and bustle of reality and understand the complexity of the world, you are destined to not be able to forge a strong mind. The child-like poet eventually became the butcher who ended the lives of his wife and himself.

"WTO accession" can be understood as a kind of love, which is in essence in harmony with life. Romain Rolland once said, "There is only one kind of heroism in this world - to see the world clearly, and then still love it." "It's an affirmation of being in the world. No matter how hot and cold the world is, no matter how noisy and noisy the ukiyo-e is, he still lives with love and gratitude for life, and walks on his own steps positively and optimistically.

In a graduation speech at Peking University, a senior said it very well: "Be an insider who does not participate." As mentioned above, "inside" is the state that we are determined by birth, and whether or not we are in harmony with the world truly reflects human character. Firm one's pace in an era of lack of faith, and maintain one's voice in the torrent of fame, this is "out of the world", not with the world.

Dongpo once commented that Tao infiltrated the WTO as an official, "not to seek it as a suspicion", to take off his hat and go into hiding, "not to go to it as a high". This is a typical embodiment of "entering the world and leaving the world". If you are an official, you will worry about the country and the people, and you will only be dedicated to it, and if you are dissatisfied with the times, you will lose your official uniform, there is no difference between high and low, and it is just an expression of the same character in different worlds.

We will eventually step into the flood of the times, in the midst of the hustle and bustle, and keep our hearts and minds, enter the world, and eventually become a madman like Nietzsche, but we will also be worthy of our hearts.

The hustle and bustle is not the grave of the hustler

Silence is a paradise for the silent, and the hustle and bustle is by no means the grave of the noisy.

Throughout the ages, the silent seem to be wise, and the noisy are probably mediocre. In the book of Deuteronomy, the silent Moses led the crowd to the Promised Land under the guidance of Jehovah's pillars of cloud and fire. After the noisy Hebrews crossed the Red Sea, they still thought about the meat pot of Egypt, and finally they were punished by God. Schiller used the words of Don Carlos to utter the aphorism of the silent sage: "I am no longer afraid, for holding hands with you I can challenge the present." Chen Ziang's Youzhou Terrace and Wen Tingyun's Wuzhangyuan are the stage of the Silencer, and Joyce's "Aesthetic Exile" and Günther's "Tin Drum" are the whispers of the wise.

In the face of the hustle and bustle of the floating world, the wise men chose to plunge into the silent paradise and signed a decent agreement with the silence, "the essence is clean and clean", why not?

We need to know that silence and cleanliness are not the same. No matter how quiet the paradise is, it is difficult not to tolerate a trace of dust. Silence and wisdom may originate from the same source, but what has been passed down is probably the appearance of silence rather than the true meaning of wisdom. The deliberate pursuit of silence, like the obsessive Pythagoreans' refusal to abandon the strange custom of "abstaining from eating beans", will inevitably fall apart.

Falling from the silence of heaven, the hustle and bustle of the world immediately enveloped me. But hustle and bustle is the embodiment of diversity, and diversity is the premise of abundance. Remembering Milan Kundera's comparison of eternal solitude to the martyrdom of Jesus, I dare not and do not want to turn back. Like Dongfang Shuo, "secluded in the world, escaping the golden horse gate", and settled in the hustle and bustle, just like Wang Han and Wang Zhihuan in Liangzhou fighting in the hustle and bustle. The hustle and bustle is what the wise can endure and exploit.

The hustle and bustle is not the grave of the hustler. Sanmao's departure, Beidao's displacement, and Haizi's death did not "make its own progress by confronting the times". And if Mo Yan and Zhou Guoping stick to the bottom line in the noisy environment, it is the road to simplicity. As the Talmud says, "When we look at the world, we don't see the world, we see ourselves." "The more noisy the world is in our eyes, the more noisy our minds become, and the quieter the world in our eyes, the more silent our minds become.

Remember, where you live is your world. As you are, the world is as it is. When you have silence, the world is no longer noisy. Casual, as Wilde said, "We all live in the gutter, but there are always people looking up at the stars." "As long as we keep looking up, the noise must not be the grave of the noiser.

Noisy world

Senior 3 (20) class Chen Lijiang

The sound of Cadillac's engine roared outside the various celebrity clubs and high-end clubs, and the graceful lady holding the goblet collided with the spark of thought in the last century, but the smell of perfume and copper.

The world has indeed become more and more noisy, but the simple and powerful words and thoughts are as dead as the deep sea.

We cannot deny that an increasingly noisy society is indeed a reflection of the progress of this society.

In the days of the Nazis and the Jews, the Germans knew exactly what happened to the Jews when they stepped on the train to the concentration camps, but they still bought milk and bread and went to work without saying a word. At that time, as Martin Luther King Jr. put it, the greatest tragedy of society - "not the noise of the bad guys, but the silence of the good guys". On the other hand, today, the noise of society also reflects the fact that "the voice of the people has never been silent" from a certain perspective.

It's a pity that this kind of hustle and bustle is only the bustle of the surface of society, but in literature and art, it makes it deserted.

For the sake of rolling profiteering or high mediocrity, writers of mixed quality, and people who can't even be called writers, typed down on the keyboard a well-behaved work full of the sluggish sounds of childhood. I can't help but think of Mr. Zhang Wei's philosophical thoughts written in a stout old-fashioned fountain pen, which are unfashionable but particularly resonant and thought-provoking, and I miss Thoreau's quiet and snow-like brushstrokes: "There was a shepherd whose thoughts were as lofty as mountains, where his flock nourished him every hour." ”

The mind needs to be calmly analyzed and understood, but it does not need the silence of being left out!

"On the outside it is bustling and noisy, but on the inside it is empty. Shakespeare lamented faintly. We must not forget to nurture a person's cultural heritage for the sake of abundant living materials. "The taste of life is pure joy", I can't catch the shadow of the bright moon, but I want to keep an amber heart. Put down the aggressive phone call, try to spend some time writing a short letter, read or knit at night, lean on the warm orange lamp, hold a few books that you think incredible, go to the club you frequent, sip a light tea, and savor the literary atmosphere between the lines with friends......

The world is getting more and more noisy, and the mind is bound to become more and more lively.

Shhhhh

Senior 3 (3) Class Jallo

Mo Yan said that the world is originally noisy, and Zhou Guoping said that quiet days are the best. Rather than absorbing the noise of the world, I would rather build a fence and plant chrysanthemums, and the dark fragrance is full of sleeves, although I am in the human realm, I still have the courage to say to the noise and commotion: Shhh

Don't make a sound, let me enjoy the silence. Noise makes people restless, and silence makes the heart settle. American actress Greta Garbo once said: "Leave me alone, leave me alone." Compared to Elizabeth Taylor's stormy private life, her daily rhythm of walking her dog during the day and reading books at night could not be more low-key. And is also an actress, Garbo's deep melancholy temperament makes her a little more melancholy charm than Taylor. Here's it: if you choose a lively lifestyle, you lose the opportunity to settle your mind. Guo Jingming is eager to stand on the cusp of public opinion, "Little Times" is of course flashy and empty, and Fitzgerald is used to living a debauched life, and he can't help but lament the quiet time that has passed in "Gentle Night". It is only in a quiet mind that one can think, reflect, and polish one's soul, and the noise of the whole day and night may only consume the tired body early. To choose tranquility is to choose the sublimation of the soul.

Just as the aroma of tea is always more fragrant than the taste of wine, it is more quiet and timeless than the hustle and bustle, and has a longer aftertaste. Whether it's an article or a piece of music, a gentle transition and a low chant seem to have more flavor than the showmanship and brilliance. Proust's Reminiscences of the Pastry spares a complex picture of the social circle of the upper class, but what he is most famous for is the depiction of light and shadow through the stained glass of Cambrai Cathedral, and the meticulous sketching of his own bedtime thoughts. They are prosaic, not as splendid and lively as the nobles mingle, but they are better than the bland, and in the blandness is the holy quiet, and in the quiet is the eternal charm. In his old age, Proust was most nostalgic for the quiet country life in Cambrai.

Therefore, I think that the reason why silence is called a noble quality, and its timelessness is fascinated by the world, must be because it gives people the autonomy of the mind. In silence, you can let your thoughts fly to the ends of the earth, just like the indifferent and silent description in "Reminiscences of the Past", you can add thousands of associations and interpretations to it. At this moment, you have the exclusive power of the mind. In the hustle and bustle, they had to be swept forward by the sound and noise. To choose quiet is to choose the soul at your own disposal, and to choose to write your own life with your own hands.

I like to be quiet, to be alone to see and think about something. Traffic, square dancing, other people's accusations, these noises have made the world too noisy. I wanted to stop the dwelling with my hand and say to them: Shhh

Quiet in the middle of nowhere

Senior 3 (13) class Xu Yifeng

Many people say that this society is becoming more and more superficial, materialistic, and noisy. Indeed, looking at the inspirational articles shared in the circle of friends, as well as the propaganda of the mainstream media, it seems that the world is bustling for fame and fortune. But if one blames oneself for one's inability to seek meticulously on the "trend" of the times, it is also a comical and lack of responsibility.

As Zhou Guoping said, "The world is getting more and more noisy, and my days are getting quieter and quieter." "Noise and quiet, this pair of semantic antonyms is not a complete binary opposite, we need to find our own quiet in the noise.

It is possible and feasible to be quiet. Even if the people around us are hungry for fame, fortune, power and wealth, when we are determined to seek quiet, we can make a posture of going against the tide of the rapids, and not draw on wealth and wealth. Tao Yuanming once "settled in the human realm", and used his personal practice to annotate "hidden in the city". We all have to be a spiritual hermit, leaving a three-foot place from the noisy environment for our own quiet, less socializing, less games, saying goodbye to mobile phones and the Internet for a short time, and looking back at ourselves in silence. When you stop lingering on the sixpence silver coins on the ground, you will truly discover the bright moon hanging high in the blue sky, and looking up at the vastness of the universe and looking down on the variety can only be realized in silence.

Stillness in the midst of chaos seems to be in line with the essence of traditional Chinese culture, that is, the part of Confucianism that pays great attention to personal self-cultivation and prudence, which is to leave enough time and space for oneself to think carefully and discerningly. More than 70 years ago, Mei Yiqi, president of Tsinghua University, lamented that there was too little room for self-reflection and development in education, so that students lost their prudent and independent character, resulting in more vassal materials and fewer backbones in society. More than 70 years later, Lung Yingtai reiterated Mr. May's proposal to a group of graduates, hoping that when they were "independent today", they would not forget to take quiet from the noise and leave room for themselves to think.

Only by being able to be quiet from the noise can we achieve an independent personality, and only by not following the crowd can we achieve free thought. Ji Kang is sensitive to the world and guards himself, and would rather break off friendship with his best friends than sacrifice his independent self. Gu Zhun and Ma Yinchu can still think calmly in the era of political leadership, and dare not speak, this is the real backbone. We should all leave a room for the soul in the three-bedroom life, even in the most noisy places, but also to maintain inner peace and independence.

The hustle and bustle of the outside world is not a reason to give up the quiet. We will be quiet, to feel, to think, to explore, just to shape a perfect self in the hustle and bustle.
