On the first point of muddling through, I recently wrote a short article, "Rarely Muddled". Here, I divide muddle into two kinds, one is called real muddle and the other is called fake muddle. The vast majority of people in the world compete for fame in the court and for profit in the city. Taste a little sweetness, will be overjoyed, hands and feet, heart of flowers, forgetfulness. Encountered a small nail, will be worried about burning heart, frowning, the future is bleak, lamenting. This kind of people are all over the world. They are genuinely confused, but not consciously so. They are happy and pleasant. May the Lord shower His blessings on them again.
As for fake or pretend to be confused, Zheng Banqiao's rare confusion is the most typical. Zheng Banqiao first-class characters are not at all confused. But the reality of the situation forces them to fake or pretend to be confused. They are in pain. I pray to God to give them a bit of real confusion.
When it comes to the question of dashing a bit, first of all, the word must be explained a bit. The word is so rounded that whoever reads it understands it at first sight, and is confused when pressed further. To define such a word is beyond my ability. It is better to check the dictionary. The Modern Chinese Dictionary explains: (look, demeanor, appearance, etc.) natural and generous, rhythmic, unrestrained. I was shocked when I read this explanation. What kind of expression, what kind of demeanor, and what kind of rhythm are all abstract things that one cannot grasp. How can this be linked to the panache I usually understand and use? I am an advocate of fuzzy language, so let's let the word "dashing" be fuzzy now. I think of the behavior of some famous scholars of the time during the Six Dynasties of China, especially those recorded in books such as The New Sayings of the World, for example, Liu Ling's burying me when he died, and what about visiting Dai on a snowy night, and so on, which should be regarded as dashing, right? But I immediately thought that these famous scholars, on the surface of the dashing, in fact, the heart is like a burning, worrying about their own head all the time. Some also finally escaped, Jikang is a famous example.
Written here, my thinking activity and forced me to put the dashing, also like confused, divided into two categories: a true and a false. The dashing of the Six Dynasties is feigned, and therefore false.
These things are all too old to be easily understood. Let me give you a modern example: in the 1930s, when I was a student at Tsinghua University, a professor (who shall remain nameless) always wanted to act as a celebrity and make a show of himself. In winter, he put on a brocade cotton robe, and underneath he wore brocade cotton pants, which he tied tightly to the lower part of his legs with two colorful ribbons. The hair on his head was also purposely not combed greasy. He just floated into the classroom like this, looking at himself, probably very satisfied. In the eyes of the students, this kind of artifice of his dashing, but it is ugly, failing to live up to his hard work.
The professor who sang against him, of course not intentionally, was Mr. Yu Pingbo. One day, Mr. Pingbo shaved his head and walked out of his residence in the city into the Tsinghua Garden. Among the thousands of people in the garden, this was the only one with a shaved head, and those who saw it were all appalled, pointing and whispering, while Mr. Pingbo completely ignored it, and went up to the podium to recite the Song dynasty's famous poem, bobbing his head and enjoying himself. After the recitation, shouted: good! Good! That's it! There is nothing else to say. As the old saying goes, "A true celebrity is a man of his own style". The first thing that you need to do is to compare it with the professor who teaches English, who is the real one and who is the fake one; who is the real one and who is the fake one, and it is clearly presented under the sun.
This is a small example, and there is nothing deep about it, just a desire to recognize the truth.
Why do people advocate for a little bit of confusion, a little bit of chic? I personally feel that this can improve people's spirit of harmony and is greatly conducive to stability and unity.
This short article can be said to have been written. However, I also want to add a little of my personal 'ideas.
At present, our country up and down, scrambling for time, and strive to be strong, consolidate our political, development of our economy, period can be expected in the expected time to build a veritable well-off society. Where to allow half a bit of confusion, half a bit of dash! However, we Chinese have always acted in accordance with the laws of dialectics. The ancients said: the way of literature and martial arts, a one and a relaxation. It is not possible to have tension without relaxation, nor is it possible to have relaxation without tension. The combination of tension and relaxation is the right way. The idea is to be a little confused, a little dashing, precisely to achieve this purpose.
Rarely confused
Zheng Banqiao in the Qing Dynasty put forward also written out of the four words rarely confused, in China, can be said to be a household name, known to all. Until today, more than two hundred years have passed, but in people's articles, speeches, as well as the mouth of the commonly used colloquialisms, these four words still often appear, people are familiar with.
I'm also a member of the Rarely Confused Party.
However, in the last few months, after a serious illness, my mind has been opened a bit. I've come to realize that there is a difference between true and false mendacity, and that you have to treat it differently and not browbeat it.
What does it mean to be truly confused, and what does it mean to be falsely confused?
There is no need to make a theoretical argument, just a few small examples will suffice. The first is that the first time I saw the movie, I was able to see the movie, and I was able to see the movie.
Zheng Banqiao was born in the Qing Dynasty during the Qianlong period, the so-called Kangxi and Qianlong period of the second half. The so-called "golden age" of all generations, in fact, is a piece of its large and sprawling cloth of shame. Under this cloth, everything went on as usual. Only the foreign invaders came less, the people of the rebellion, most people can barely eat a full stomach, do not know know, Shun emperor of the rules. The court struggles of the supreme ruler are still bloody and the ordinary people outside will not know about it. Successive rulers have preferred people with no brains and no ideas, and those who have these two conditions are only the class of Shi. That is why the Shi have always been a thorn in the side of successive rulers. But it is not possible to leave them. So the carrot and stick. A small number of people who fought for the emperor to help idle or help, roughly has become a foregone conclusion. And so on, a large number of soldiers have only one way to climb up the imperial examination system. Success or failure depends entirely on one's own luck. If you flip through the "Confucian History", you will be able to see everything. But at the same time, the emperor also more often than not, on trumped-up charges to raise a large prison of words, kill the chicken for the monkey to see. The ruler thus ruled the world with both soft and hard tactics. It seems that everyone is more satisfied. But I think it is true confusion, like a shadow, right on their own, and not rare.
My conclusion is: true confusion is not rare, true confusion is pleasant and happy.
This is an ancient tradition, and has been the case for many generations. The world is so clear that I am the only one in the world, and I am the only one in the world who is drunk. The so-called drunkenness is what I call confusion.
But there are still people like Zheng Banqiao in the world, although the number of people is very, very small, but after all, there is. They have left some righteousness for heaven and earth. He had already passed the entrance examination. According to a notebook of the Qing Dynasty, because his calligraphy is not the cabinet style, did not point on the Hanlin, can only be sent out as a governor, seventh-grade official ears. He did a term in Weixian County, Shandong County, and partial conscience, sympathize with the plight of the people, there are poems made in Weixian Nga Zhai as evidence. The result is that the officials forced, colleagues squeeze, he could not endure, had to lose his hat, to Yangzhou when the eight monsters went. His life poetry, calligraphy and painting have a kind of indignation and injustice, like Sima Qian's "Historical Records". He was unlucky to fall in the world are drunk and he only wake up, that is, the world are really confused and he only must pretend to be confused, fake confusion.
My conclusion is: fake confusion is rare, fake confusion is pain, is a disaster.
Now to myself.
When I was first admitted to 301 Hospital, I always thought I was suffering from a scabby disease. The next room, the attending physician was discussing with the president of the University of North America to issue a critical notice, but here I was still smiling and laughing, telling his jokes. Forty-six days in the hospital, I never had a sense of crisis. Now that I think about it, I am really afraid. The reason is, I am really confused, extremely rare, extremely pleasant.
I prayed to God that I would never let the real confusion enter my body again, and I would rather carry the cross of false confusion in my life.
In the 301 hospital in the doctors and nurses in the cacophony of writing, but also a fast thing.
