The theme of inner peace,

Silence is a state, but also a state of mind and realm. Quiet and want nothing, don't admire Li Rong. Zhuge Liang said: "If you are not indifferent, you will have no ambition, and if you are not quiet, you will be far away." Indifference calms people, dilutes fame and fortune, and is not eroded by greed or blinded by vanity. Quiet makes the heart empty and bright, which leads to profound thinking. In thinking, the soul is sublimated and eternal. I will walk until the river blocks my way, then sit down and look at the rising clouds. Quiet will make people elegant, and quiet is the need of quiet people.

If you want to give peace a color, it should be blue first. I once saw a photographic work, which filled the picture with a vast blue sky, and several wires swept across the sky, such as a blue staff of imagination. There are several birds playing with each other on the wire, just like jumping notes on the staff. In the vast blue sky, it seems that birds can be heard whispering. The name of the work is tranquility. Indeed, long-term gaze will make people's hearts empty.

Peace should also be green. Red is warm, yellow is warm and white is holy. Only green will produce a kind of peace that goes straight to the soul. Imagine being in a valley with green mountains and green waters, wandering in a gurgling stream, and facing the lush and gurgling water everywhere. In the embrace of green, your mind will gradually calm down and then return to calm. "Lying in layers of deep shadows" is a pleasant silence: "Lin Jing's warblers are far away" is an empty and deep silence.

In fact, the most important thing for peace is black ink. When the night embraced the whole world with its tenderness, the world was intoxicated with it. Red, yellow, green and all the colors are eclipsed. At night, use an invisible heavy black pen to smear cities, villages and mountains. Wealth and poverty, beauty and ugliness, nobility and meanness, sincerity and falsehood, happiness and pain are all contained in black. The city fell asleep, the country fell asleep, the whole world fell asleep, and peace ruled the world.

Peace is really a poetic and charming state and realm, which needs to be pursued and sought. Thoreau found it. By Walden Lake, he cultivated fishing and hunting, and devoted himself to thinking and writing. This is a kind of inner peace. Tao Yuanming found it, picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely Nanshan, which is the tranquility of birth. The seven sages of the bamboo forest discovered it, practiced invisibly, drowned their sorrows by drinking, and became the prince of dirt. That's the quiet of Jie Jie. Zhuge Liang found it, threw himself into it and died. It is calm and quiet. Of course, this supreme peace is beyond our reach.

Calm down, comb and salvage, and stumble through life in a hurry, which can be called a quiet state and time. There is almost no time. In order to survive and live, I am busy all day, rushing to and from work and shuttling between the food market and the supermarket. Deal with trivial chores that have to be dealt with or not, calculate the advantages and disadvantages that have to be calculated or not, and deal with the world that has to be dealt with or not. Pursuit, comparison, triviality, noise, noise and busyness constitute the main theme of life, while tranquility is more like being abandoned and curled up in a corner, lonely and gloomy.

I know a little. I often can't find peace because I have too many worldly distractions, obsessed with fame and fortune that I won't give up. "Building a house on human feelings is far from self-biased." When you can abandon unnecessary worldly distractions and be indifferent to vanity, fame and glory, in fact, even if you are in a noisy city and people are buzzing, as long as your heart is as calm as a lake with a breeze blowing, tranquility will still accompany you.
