Only at the age of forty-five did I understand that life is half-hearted~

The flowers are ajar, and the wine is slightly drunk. There is a lot of fun in this. This is a famous quote in "Cai Gen Tan".

The flowers are ajar. Half-opened flowers, budding, like a shy girl, half-concealed, with a youthful breath and a beautiful expectation.

Alcohol and drinking are slightly drunk. A slightly drunk person, with red cheeks, half-covered and half-opened, freely embracing, there is a kind of calm beauty, and a kind of shyness.

When the flowers are in full bloom, although they have a mature charm, they are close to the time of withering; when they are drunk, they may sleep or be upset, full of ugliness, often disgusting and disgusting.

It is the wisdom of our ancestors to ask for half-heartedness. Pay attention to control greed, and only seek moderation in everything, not fullness. Because greed is full, like fireworks on festivals, after a "bang--" sound, it will irreversibly fade and degenerate, which is pitiful.

I am afraid of ugly drinkers. After a single drink, he becomes drunk, then cries bitterly, or swears, or babbles, or vomits and diarrhea, or is full of gall. The quality of wine is so low, and the state of life is not much higher.

Seeking partial satisfaction is a very high level of life. Recently, I met Li Mingxun, a new literary friend, and got his new book "Along Your Eyes". He wrote in his postscript: "I yearn for a life like this: half busy and half leisure, half rich and half frugal, half drunk and half awake, and half Buddha and half awake in mind." His attitude towards life makes me envious. Appreciated.

From the perspective of being a human being, half-flowering is like a person's pursuit of new knowledge, struggling and seeking, and moving towards a better goal; and like a person's mentality, modest and prudent, full of self-cultivation. Getting drunk is like doing something, just right, but not overdone, and impartial.

Seeking half unsatisfying, focusing on controlling one's desires, avoiding selfish desires, and insatiable. People who know how to ask for half-not-satisfaction will often say to themselves: Enough is enough, and half is enough.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Liu Mengyang, who was once the chief writer of Tianjin "Ta Kung Pao" and then changed to politics, wrote the famous article "The Inscription on Anti-Corruption", saying: "Wealth is the envy of people, but you must ask the source. The source is legitimate, although many are not For greed. The source is improper, the clear night should be ashamed. Everyone laughs at me, but I am also comfortable. I don’t want to be fooled, and what I lose. The official is for the people, and greed is not my will. Not blessed,Personality is reserved. How many days can vanity wait for the clouds? Decades of life, the struggle is dead. "_P1p

The world is impetuous and desires are fierce. "Quiet Greed" is undoubtedly a sedative and sober medicine. Nowadays, after being investigated and punished, some corrupt officials always regret that they have been harmed by money. In fact, money itself is not sinful. In other words, the reason why a person commits a crime is all due to the expansion of his own selfish desires.

"Drinking should not be taught as a tincture, and be careful not to leave the flowers." Flowers are the most beautiful when they are in bud, and drink to drink slightly. Drunk means suitable. This kind of flower is half-bloomed, half-drunk, and contains a high state.

Heaven is jealous, and personnel are full of fear. When people are prosperous, they must have a good idea, know how to advance and retreat, stay in danger in peace and think about retreat , Leaving room for maneuver.

Seek half-heartedness. It's not foolish to look half-opened. That's what I think.
