What are the things that cultivate temperament?

Nine elegant things of the ancients: burning incense, drinking tea, listening to the rain, enjoying the snow, waiting for the moon, drinking properly, soaking flowers, seeking seclusion and playing the piano.

1, burn incense

Fragrant, not only leisurely with the piano room in the study, but also ethereal in the temple altar; Not only can you watch silently in a quiet room, but you can also entertain yourself at the dinner. It can not only calm the nerves in the air, but also cure diseases; It is both an elite culture and a popular culture. In fact, there is no fixed label for its origin, only beautiful nature comes from nature.

The ancients burned incense to enjoy elegance, and it was also a symbol of the noble status of the court. In the modern noisy urban life, we also need this kind of artistic conception of seeking quietness in motion. Put an incense burner in the living room, light a column of incense, close your eyes and feel the wonderful feeling brought by the fragrance quietly. Incense also helps to refresh the mind, eliminate fatigue, and impetuous heart will become practical.

2. Tea tasting

Drinking tea can calm the nerves, help to cultivate sentiment and eliminate distractions, which conforms to the oriental philosophy of advocating "quietness" and the "introspection and practice" thoughts of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.

Making a pot of strong tea in your busy schedule, choosing a quiet place and taking a sip by yourself can relieve fatigue, relieve boredom, refresh yourself, sip slowly, enjoy beauty and sublimate the spiritual world to a noble artistic realm.

Step 3 listen to the rain

Listening to the rain is a way to treat everything with a calm mind, listening to the sound of rain dripping on the earth. As if raindrops are falling, it is a lullaby played by the rain elves, so that all creatures on the earth can sleep peacefully and get a kind of spiritual comfort.

4. Enjoy the snow

Appreciating the crystal-clear and pure snowflakes reminds people that in this dusty world, we should also maintain a pure and flawless state of mind and an extraordinary and noble state of mind like snowflakes.

Step 5 wait for the moon

In the traditional culture of China, the image of the moon often becomes the carrier of human thoughts and feelings, and its meaning is very rich. In many poems about the moon, the poet melts the moon into his inner thoughts and feelings, so that the moon and inner thoughts and feelings complement each other, creating many beautiful aesthetic moods, and raising the literary taste, ideological connotation and artistic attainments of poems to a high level.

6. consider wine

Dionysian spirit originated from Taoist philosophy. Zhuang Zhou advocated the unity of things and me, the unity of heaven and man, and the unity of life and death. Zhuangzi would rather be a free turtle shaking his head in the mud pond than a bound swift horse. The essence of China's Dionysian spirit lies in pursuing absolute freedom and forgetting the benefits of life and death, honor and disgrace.

7. flowers

Flower art is a medium for people to express their natural life, show their natural charm and understand nature, life, art and social life in their inner world. It is also a way for people to cultivate their self-cultivation, cultivate their sentiments and beautify their lives with the help of natural flowers and plants.

Today, people still have a soft spot for flowers, and flower exhibitions, markets and festivals are surging everywhere, and the grand occasion remains the same. I think China people love flowers not only because of their flower shapes, but also because of the essence of flower culture: flower rhyme.

8. Seek seclusion

When you visit mountains and rivers, look for and search for elegant resorts.

9. Father

Qin is a musical instrument with the highest cultural status in ancient China, and there are some sayings, such as "a scholar withdraws the Qin without reason" and "left the Qin and right the book". The story that Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi became bosom friends with "high mountains and flowing water" has spread to this day; Qintai is considered as a symbol of friendship.

Playing the flute and playing the piano, reciting poems and painting, climbing high and traveling far, and singing wine songs have become a vivid portrayal of literati life.

The nine elegant things of the ancients were all actions of self-cultivation and self-cultivation. In the hustle and bustle of the world, we should serve the ancients, be less materialistic and be more elegant.
