What does a hermit mean

A hermit is a hermit. Only those hermits who can maintain their independent personality, pursue freedom of thought, don't compromise, don't rely on power, have extraordinary talents and knowledge, and really don't want to be officials can be called hermits.

Like Zhuangzi, they advocate the attitude of natural inaction and choose a recluse and study-oriented lifestyle. Famous hermits include Xu You, Chao Fu, Liezi, Zhuangzi, Guiguzi, Sean, Huang Shigong, Deng Yu, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen, Shuijing, Xu Maogong, Miao Xun and Tao Yuanming. Of course, there are also many hermits who have not left their works. This is because of the war, we can't understand them.

Extended data:

The personality characteristic of a real hermit is to seek poetic dwelling, which is a return to human nature and a liberation from the complex of official seclusion. If Confucius is tired of traveling around the world, he said that the spring breeze in Yishui is "I am with the point". Zhuangzi used to see the intrigue of big and small governors and wanted to go to nature; Tao Yuanming's official career is tired, so he sees Nanshan leisurely under the hedge of picking chrysanthemums.

The social roles of fake hermits are official fans, financial fans and fame fans. Living and working in peace and contentment is the most important feature of a hermit's noble personality. For example, Tao Yuanming, a great hermit in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, sang when he was down and out: A teacher has a knowledge, and he is worried about pottery but not poor. Rich and poor often fight, Tao wins 50% face. Hermits are always poor, but their spirit is rich. With the spirit of being a man, you have the backbone of being a man.
