Zhuangzi said: "Ancient real people didn't know how to live or how to die. Not pleasant, but not far away. However, it has gone, but it has just arrived. Don't forget its beginning, and don't seek its end. Enjoy it and forget it. They all say that they don't harm the Tao with their hearts, and don't help the sky with people. That's called a real person. "
Ancient real people don't know whether they like life or fear death. He was born unhappy and will not refuse when he dies. Freedom to come, freedom to go. He will never forget where he came from or pursue his destination. Accept something cheerfully, forget life and death, and return to nature.
Zhuangzi also said: "If so, forget its heart and endure its silence." "Emotions have four seasons, which are suitable for things, but I don't know their extremes." These real people are those who look quiet and indifferent, and can forget everything in their hearts. Their emotions can be related to the four seasons, and they can handle anything in life calmly.
Zhuangzi uses real people to express an attitude towards death, that is, the first part is afraid of death, and the second part is immortal.
Confucianism says that people with lofty ideals can "kill for righteousness" and sacrifice their lives to safeguard a great truth.
In the long river of life, Confucianism and Taoism have shown two different attitudes. The attitude of Confucianism is a martyr, and the attitude of Taoism is a nobleman. The attitude of Confucianism is to race against time and seize the limited time to build, while the attitude of Taoism is to adapt to the streamer, seize every minute and have fun. The ultimate goal of these two outlooks on life is to make life valuable. However, the value judgment of life will never be the same.
Some people pay more attention to the famous names in history, social achievements and personal life, which is also a kind of social merit. Some people pay more attention to their inner perfection, settlement and moral perfection.
If it is the former, he is more unwilling to live, while the latter is more indifferent. In fact, this is the different attitudes of Confucianism and Taoism that affect our hearts, and we also have them.
In fact, China people often show two different attitudes towards life and death, one is represented by Qu Yuan, and the other is represented by Sima Qian.
Qu Yuan was born in the troubled times of the Warring States. As a nobleman with the same surname as the King of Chu, he was a scholar-bureaucrat. When Ying Du was attacked by the State of Chu and slaughtered by the general of Qin, he knew that his ancestral temple and his country were doomed, even though he lived alone and had many countries to go to. The best ending in his life is to accept it all.
Qu Yuan's death is a kind of martyrdom and helplessness. In the words of Mr. Guo Moruo, he was torn apart in his beautiful ideal and the reality that he could not realize his ideal. Therefore, such a person must take such a tragic and decisive way to deal with life.
Sima Qian has a famous letter, which is addressed to his good friend Ren An. It is called "Letter to Ren An", which fully expresses his attitude towards life and death. In the letter, Sima Qian reviewed the whole process of his imprisonment and punishment. He said that he was wronged and was framed on trumped-up charges, and no one came to save him. In this case, of course, he can choose to die to maintain his dignity.
However, he didn't. He accepted the most unbearable shame as a man: corruption, that is, having his genitals cut off. Because he still has an unfinished mission, that is, he also wants to study heaven and man, understand the changes of ancient and modern times, and become a "historical record."
When his father, Sima Tan, entrusted him with the great cause of such a historian, he told him that there was Confucius 500 years after the death of the Duke of Zhou, and no one could "show" or "continue the Spring and Autumn Period" to record such an era and inherit history. So, before he died, Sima Tan handed the important task of compiling historical records to Sima Qian. Therefore, Sima Qian said that in the face of the 500-year mission entrusted by history, his attitude is "How dare a teenager give in?" It is Sima Qian's attitude that he would rather be humiliated than commit suicide when there is such a big thing.
Dialogue between life and death: "My arrival can make people happy, such as the birth of a newborn."
Death said, "I can come sometimes, such as dying peacefully."
The student said, "My arrival can also make people sad. For example, a baby is born, but it can't be supported."
Death said, "My arrival usually makes people sad, such as the death of a loved one."
The student said: "I am very frequent in the world every day, and I can give birth to tens of thousands of people almost every day."
Death said, "I am also very frequent all over the world." Tens of thousands of people around the world almost starved to death, died of illness and died of accidents. "
The student said, "My appearance is endowed with myth, and every newborn is an angel of God."
Death said, "My appearance is the same. A person's death is called death. Take him to heaven or hell. "
The doctor said, "I once saw a pregnant woman having a difficult labor." My heart moved, she gave birth to a baby, and the mother and child were safe. "
Death said, "I once saw a dying patient, but he really shouldn't have left this world." I can't bear to let him die. "
The student said: "I am very hard. There have always been people who want their family to prosper, but you know, the earth can't accommodate them. "
Death said, "I am also very hard." There are always people who want him to never die, but you know, that's impossible. "
Sheng said: "At this moment, I can make the earth' people * * * blow up'."
Death said, "I can make the earth barren at this moment."
The student said, "But we can't do that."
Death said, "No, we can't."
The student said, "Why can't we?"
Death said, "We can't abuse our power."
The student said, "Yes, but human beings are so hateful that I must help them."
Death said, "It depends on when they wake up ..."
3. A person's life and death reading answers Life and death are just two different purification processes, both of which are worth exploring and looking forward to.
I happened to find another person in the universe who is opposite to me, including you, but it doesn't matter if there is no basis or persuasion. Everything exists as long as you believe. Let me explain.
Since there is life, there must be death. Similarly, since there is death, there must be life. Life and death come first, then come. You are in the stage of death, and you are exploring. What will be the end of death? Just as we are now in the stage of life, we can't know what it will be like after death, metaphorically speaking; The fetus grows in the mother. For him, there is no time, air and sunshine in his world. . Can we understand? Once he leaves this world where he thinks he has "lived all his life", he will immediately face a completely strange place. It is impossible to be unwilling to leave, because the time is up, is it the same as when a person's life ends? Then when the fetus is struggling, extremely unwilling and unable to change at all, it must come to this new world with sunshine and air time. That moment can only be expressed by crying. After gradually adapting to the new world, he will think so. It turns out that this place is still good. Life dies like this, endlessly, alternating between eternal life and immortality. Every evolution of life, where will it eventually go? Or continue to cycle and continue to evolve? Perhaps the origin of mankind, the origin of the universe, the unknown function of black holes, and whether black holes have exits are closely related to our life and death. Then the difference between life and death lies in-life: protein and your unique soul form an irreplaceable you, and death: protein returns to the earth to give birth to new life again, with all kinds of bacteria, fungi, worms and souls gathered in a certain place (I can only say somewhere, because I have never been there so far), and it is also possible to wait for a certain period of time and attach to a new body again. Only if there is no carrier like human beings, there will be no thinking like human beings. Perhaps, the soul exists in another dimension, waiting for the arrangement of unknown mysterious forces, or it may be an indispensable part of the cycle of life and death, completely in the form of "waiting for arrangement" After all, the universe is too big and mysterious, so big that it exceeds your wildest imagination, so mysterious that any imaginary fantasy is possible. I even think that the universe may be an unimaginable behemoth, and the Milky Way is just a small piece of tissue in the behemoth. The sun, the earth, the moon, Venus, Jupiter and Mercury are just the cells that make up this organization. People are countless molecules, atoms and even smaller things that have not been discovered by human science and technology.
4. The composition with the theme of "life and death" bowed to the original work and threw himself into the river, leaving a hundred-year-old "Li Sao"; Haizi died on the railway track, chanting "Facing the sea, spring blossoms."
The word "life" is like a white cloud in their hearts, so insignificant. However, it is absolutely unfair to say that they committed suicide and ignored the precious life given to them by God.
They may have understood some connotation, some meaning of life, or they may have seen through some essence of life! They ended their lives in one way or another and lived the life they wanted. Those poems full of philosophy are the best testimony! In fact, life is not something that everyone is happy about.
On the contrary, death may make people happy and free. Therefore, when a person leaves quietly, we can't and are not qualified to criticize them, which may be their most correct choice! Perhaps, someone will have questions again.
In that case, isn't death the greatest thing in life? No, of course not! In fact, how many people in the world are people who see through life? Most people still think it is good to be born. Some of them live in a down-to-earth way, create life and happiness with their hands, and realize their own life value in this world.
They are equal to Qu Yuan and Haizi, although they are not in the same space. But it is a pity that some people pretend to see through the world of mortals and, under the banner of "today's wine is drunk today", have fun everywhere and waste their time, which is simply * * *.
Only the body, no thought, no spirit, what is the difference with the walking dead? They are also indifferent students, fearless to death, but that is not a hero! I dare say they are worse off alive than dead! Throughout history, such examples are numerous. Having said that, I have to mention the "short" and "long" of life! In fact, the "short" and "long" in life are not suitable for everyone.
Simply put, they are relative rather than absolute. It is true that some people have rich and colorful lives, so they feel that life is short.
But some people's lives are monotonous and lifeless, so they have a long way to go. For the former, life is a day; For the latter, life is like eternity! But why do people in reality care about this? Life is colorful, we have spent it; Life is depressing, we have all experienced it.
Looking back suddenly, who can say that it is not a kind of enjoyment? Life is a kind of life; Death is a kind of life. If life is unimpeded, there is no life! I didn't copy it myself. I gave it to you! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Forever ... "When people die, they are lighter than a feather and heavier than Mount Tai."
It is a fact that everyone will die. From dust, it will eventually return to dust.
Life is only a few decades. It's like a trip.
But when the real death comes, who can face it calmly? The choice between life and death: life is a hero and death is a ghost. "Life is a hero, and death is a ghost." It is Li Qingzhao's portrayal of Xiang Yu.
The autumn wind blew from Xiang Yu, and the overlord who once dominated one side died just because he was ashamed to see his elders in Jiangdong. But he once thought that his death was a complete liberation, but what about his elders in Jiangdong? Has he ever heard of "staying green is not afraid of burning without firewood"? Maybe he thought about it, but he couldn't let it go. He chose death between life and death.
He didn't have the courage to face his failure. A reason that is not a reason comes out of his mouth.
"I have no face to see my elders in Jiangdong." What he has no face to see is his failure. Excessive demands on himself led him to the abyss of extinction.
I can't stand up anymore. The door where people go out is locked, and the hole where dogs climb out is open. Zhigao Pu is a man who crawled out of a dog hole.
In order to survive for a few years, he chose to climb out of the dog hole to survive. Has it ever occurred to him that he bought several of his plants with the blood of countless revolutionary martyrs?
Since ancient times, there has been a saying in China that "it can be killed but not humiliated". As a China native, he lost his dignity, beliefs and ideals. For his own life, he chose someone else's death and exchanged it for his own life.
I still don't know how to repent, saying that every man is not for himself and the devil takes the hindmost. Ridiculous reason.
He will be spurned by ten thousand people and hated by future generations. Qu Yuan, who was wronged, are you safe now? There are your poems on the surface of Luojiang River, your figure in the mountains of Qianzhong County, and your sigh on the land of Lingyang.
Your life is so sad, but everything you have done for your country in your life is full of sadness. You can't go back to heaven, and you jump into the gurgling river with sadness.
Maybe your death is a relief for Li Chu. Chu people remember your kindness and forget your reluctance, and now the Dragon Boat Festival comes because of you.
If you didn't throw yourself into the river sadly, people today may not know who you are. Now, when you know this, you may smile.
"Since ancient times, no one has died in life, leaving Dan's heart to shine." Every time I read this poem by Wen Tianxiang, I understand what is the choice between life and death-life should be worthy of the heart, and death should be worthy of the ground.
This is the real way of life and death. Live with a clear conscience when you die.
In the life of the strong fate, some people are often disheartened and at a loss because of a little setback, and even fight against fate by ending their lives. Xie Kunshan, a physically disabled person, did not give up his life because of his own defects. From writing with a pen in his mouth to drawing with strokes in his mouth, he completed every step of his life with superhuman perseverance.
In the first few years, all his efforts and investment brought success and failure. He didn't lose heart when he failed, and he continued to paint with higher enthusiasm and redoubled efforts, which ordinary people didn't have.
Heaven rewards diligence, and after hard work, he finally ushered in the fruits of success. Became a painter.
He painted life with a pen and praised it. Self-confidence is one of the factors of Xie Kunshan's success. Xie Kunshan said: "Others only look at what I lack. I look at myself. What else do I have?" "It's inconvenient to have only one eye left, but I still look forward to a bright future because of this openness in my mind."
The only left eye was threatened by "retinal detachment" and failed again and again. He didn't give up.
