Rustic Complex

There is an account called Kang Zai Farmer on Jitterbug that is very hot, and I have watched a few of the videos they have made, and I also find them very nice, so much so that I have developed a longing for their life. In fact, since ancient times, we in China have had a deep sense of idyllicity, and have always longed for a leisurely life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. Just like what Tao Yuanming wrote: picking chrysanthemums under the East Fence, leisurely seeing the South Mountain. Or: line to the water poor place, sit and watch the clouds rise.

I looked at their free, self-sufficient look, looked at them in the picturesque nature, in the rich land, dry farm work, do a delicious farm dinner; looked at those clean farm tools, those rising smoke, those beautiful ingredients ...... in the bottom of the heart of the oil rose up! A wave of envy. However, I think of my childhood, I was in such a farmhouse growing up, eating the rice cooked in the home firewood, wearing their own sewing old-fashioned clothes. When you don't go to school, you have to go to the field to pull weeds, hoe, break corn, cut wheat,...... of course, there is also endless fun, running all over the mountain, catching loaches in the river, catching grasshoppers in the grass. However, at that time mom often said to us: study hard, do not be like us, face to the soil back to the sky, sweat beads a fall eight petals. Of course, we could not bear the hard work of farming under the scorching sun, and we could not bear the situation of being poor despite our hard labor, so what we wanted to get rid of at that time was this kind of environment, or perhaps it is more appropriate to say, that is, we wanted to make a name for ourselves, and live a rich and noble life. When I was a child, I never experienced a cozy, idyllic life, but rather a deep sense of inferiority brought about by poverty, and a sense of urgency to not live like that in the future. My parents' generation, the native rural people, didn't think their life was an idyllic one either, but now they have become sick because of years of heavy labor, either leg pain or back pain, cervical spine problems, or shoulder problems. Moreover, they are still living in the small village where there are almost no young people. There is no security in their old age, and sometimes they have to work in the fields. So the kind of idyllic life we envy may just be godlike, where you don't have to worry about money, you don't have to stress about relationships, you don't have to fret about your children's education ......

? Just as we look at the Kham Chai farmers, we feel that they are simple, we feel that they are leisurely, we feel that they seem to be in the Peach Blossom Garden. However, we do not see is that the old boy that thin and weak body but to do so much farm work, see Kang Chai is also not a moment to spare, to see them shoot video, the beautiful shot to us, it seems very simple, but behind the hard work for fear of you and I can not afford it.

So, the real peach blossom is just a spiritual realm that is hard to reach, right?
