Constellations are Zen _ Sitting, lying and walking are Zen.

Walking, sitting and lying are all practices, and it depends on how the ancients expressed "meaning".

In the metaphysics of Wei and Jin Dynasties, "speech", "image" and "meaning" are one of the topics debated by thinkers, and Wang Bi advocates "forgetting the image with pride" and "unsatisfying meaning". Speech is language; The image is an image or an image; Words and images are tools of meaning, and "satisfaction" is the ultimate goal.

The expression of language and words is limited, and sometimes it is difficult to really convey the true feelings of the heart, so there is "beyond words". The thought you want to express is meaning, and there is no suitable language and words to express it properly outside the words, so there is "only meaning, no words".

Literary works or cultural products, including but not limited to literary works, Chinese paintings, calligraphy, operas, jade articles, bronzes, furniture and all other material cultural products, are the heart-to-heart communication between the author and the readers (audience), just as Su Dongpo said, "roaming in the old country", and the works created by the author are integrated with the author's thoughts and connotations; When readers appreciate a work, they can feel the author's mood thousands of miles away and resonate with the author ideologically through the work. This is "complacency". Convey the author's thoughts to readers' hearts, so that readers can feel empathy, thus realizing the realm of "although my body doesn't have bright wings like a phoenix, I can feel the harmonious heartbeat of a sacred unicorn". The work is just a tool, and through this concrete expression, it conveys the inner meaning. Bao Qingtian, the representative work of Cui Lantian, one of the five famous artists of Henan Opera, plays Qin Xianglian, who tells the story of life, in Xiang Fu's "Holding the Pipa Half Covered": "I am full of grievances, because the water in the Three Rivers is endless", and the lyrics are full of twists and turns, which not only makes people burst into tears, but also makes the audience feel infected by Qin Xianglian's suffering and sadness, and also silently shed tears under the stage. The audience resonated with Qin Xianglian ideologically, entered the story, and the audience got the play.

I have seen the parable of Buddhist scriptures. The "true meaning" of Buddhist scriptures is like the bright moon in the sky, and the "sutra" of Buddhist scriptures is the finger pointing to the bright moon. Therefore, although Buddhist practice is based on Buddhist scriptures, the foothold is on the true meaning of Buddhism. Buddhist scriptures are only tools for "writing", and "no phase" is the real "consciousness" and the real "enlightenment" will be realized. Therefore, the southern Sect of Zen Buddhism later advocated "enlightenment into Buddha". Walking, sitting and lying are all practices, and the truth can be achieved without words!

Meaning, that is, Chinese painting in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Gu Kaizhi said, "vivid and follow the shape"; It is the "vivid charm" that Sheikh Nanqi said; It is also the "artistic conception" mentioned by Wang Changling, the "seven-legged master" of Tang poetry; It is also the "Tao", "Tao is carried by writing" and "Tao is carried by writing" put forward by eight masters in the development of prose in Tang and Song Dynasties. This is what the author really thinks.

Only when the works have ideas and connotations, readers (audiences) will be "proud" and "Ming Dow", and the author can realize his own value to the maximum extent!
