Nanjing Seclusion Fortune Telling _ Nanjing Seclusion Fortune Telling Place

Why do so many people want to live in seclusion?

Not original, but the feeling of this analysis is quite in place. I hope it helps you. In fact, seclusion is an attitude towards life. Maybe seclusion is a kind of relaxation for some people.

Chen Chuanxi, a professor at Nanjing Normal University, divided ancient hermits in China into ten types:

Complete seclusion: A hermit who belongs to this category is a real hermit. They have nothing to do with official seclusion. Even if they had the opportunity, environment and conditions, and even the imperial court sent people to invite them many times, they refused to be officials, such as Zong Bing in the Jin and Song Dynasties and Zhenwu in the Yuan Dynasty.

Be an official and then retire: There were many hermits of this type in ancient China. They used to be officials, but they took off their hats because they were dissatisfied with the officialdom. Among them, Tao Yuanming is the most famous, and his recluse reputation even exceeds his poetic title. However, Chen Chuanxi thought that Tao Yuanming became a "real recluse" after he retired.

Semi-official and semi-secluded: this kind of person first became an official, then quit, and resigned, and his livelihood was not guaranteed. Therefore, although he is an official, he does not ask about political affairs and lives a real seclusion. Although he didn't have the title of hermit, he had the idea of seclusion, such as Wang Wei in the Tang Dynasty.

For example, Wang Meng and Dong Qichang at the turn of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties all became officials first, then lived in seclusion, and then returned to their official positions after being wooed by the court or when the situation was favorable. Mr. Chen Chuanxi commented that such people are indecisive and slow-witted, and said that Wang Meng's creative slow-witted, and Dong Qichang's brush is fuzzy and too dark, which is related to their personality.

Hiding in the temple: this hermit, although an official, is not obsessed with political affairs. Chen Chuanxi evaluated it as drifting with the tide and keeping ourselves sane, which is the most harmful to the country.

It seems to be hidden. For example, Chen Jiru, a hermit in the Ming Dynasty, was not an official, but he was good at dealing with bureaucrats. Someone wrote a poem, mocking him for "flying cranes in the clouds, flying to the Prime Minister's office".

An anonymous official, such as Tao Hongjing in the Qi and Liang Dynasties in the Southern Dynasties, was called a hermit of Tao. Although he lived in seclusion in the mountains, he asked him for advice on major issues in the DPRK and China, and was called "the prime minister in the mountains." In fact, this hermit has no hermit thoughts. He is an official not only for freedom.

Seeking an official position by seclusion: winning fame by seclusion, attracting the attention of the court, and then becoming an official position, this is the so-called "shortcut to the south." For example, Lu Zangyong in the Tang Dynasty, after being admitted to the imperial court, went to Zhongnanshan in Chang 'an to live in seclusion. Later, he was hired as a scholar in the imperial examination and was awarded the post of left gleaning. He once said to his friend, "This is a great advantage."

Helplessness and seclusion: these people are actually the most enthusiastic about the current situation, such as Gu and Huang Zongxi in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. They "lived in seclusion" just to show that they didn't cooperate with the Qing Dynasty, but in fact they were waging the fiercest anti-Qing struggle. These people are not hermits in the true sense.

Real seclusion and official career: this kind of hermit is basically a real seclusion when he lives in seclusion, but when the opportunity comes, he will come out of the mountain and disappear without the opportunity. Such as Yi Yin in Shang Dynasty, Liu Ji and Zhuge Liang at the end of Yuan Dynasty.

"Or sneak in, or live in seclusion." -"Chu Ci"? Xi Yi Note: "Maybe you practice morality and hide the mountain, but you don't know it. "

Those so-called hermits who see through the world of mortals live in seclusion in the mountains, but they are only in the form of "seclusion". Only when they truly achieve the state of mind of forgetting themselves can they eliminate noisy interference and enjoy themselves in the most secular city, so their seclusion in the city is the real sublimation of their hearts.
