Live fast and live slow

Young people naturally like to live fast. They are eager to be colorful and enjoy the ever-changing times. They like to plan every minute in place and enjoy the surprising experience that comes from living fast. For example, in the poems of the ancients, there is the boldness of "a thousand miles to the river in one day", the great river is vast, the current is fast, and the boat travels a thousand miles. With the development of the times, technology all the way forward, high-speed rail was born. Nowadays it is no longer a dream to eat morning tea in Guangzhou in the morning and roast duck in Beijing in the afternoon.

　　I also like to live fast. For example, when you want to travel, turn over the map of China or rotate the globe, thousands of miles, even across the ocean, are no longer distant. We already live in a global village, and communication technology is advanced. When I think about it, when I was a kid, if I wanted to make a long-distance phone call, I had to first line up at the post office and then apply for a small license plate to enter a phone booth and get connected. When it was inconvenient to make a phone call, you had to send a telegram. Back then, there was a special training that showed people how to write a telegram, how to use the shortest words and say a clear thing. People spared words and thought over and over again.

　　People reached noon, but dreamed that life could slow down. Lin Yutang said in "The Feast of Life": "Those who can idle what the world is busy with, can only busy what the world is idle with. There is nothing better than to be idle, not to have nothing to do. Idleness is to be able to read, idleness is to be able to travel to famous places, idleness is to be able to make good friends, idleness is to be able to drink wine, idleness is to be able to write books. What is the greatest joy in the world?"

　　Lin Yutang realized the beauty of slowing down. Think, the ancient people are slow, everything is not in a hurry, not slow, natural. People in ancient times were good at handicrafts and liked to weave cloth and embroider flowers slowly. A few days ago, I went to Dingzhou and enjoyed the famous woof of Dingzhou. The woof is known as "carved silk". In the Northern Song Dynasty, Dingzhou woof is famous in the world. I have seen a fan of ink lotus, a stem of dead lotus on the bottom of the plain, meticulous and exquisite, let people sigh for immortal things, known as "an inch of woof an inch of gold" said. A peony flower, flowers three-dimensional sense is very strong, and the flower side of the bird as if shaking feathers, you can "chirp" out. There is also a dragon robe, flower shape complex, very exquisite, it is said that the production of such a dragon robe, it takes two weavers purely handmade for three years to complete, one can not help but hear the tsk-tsk admiration.

　　In ancient times, people like to slowly sip tea. Like warm cup hot calendars, in the breeze and day, slowly bubble a pot of tea. Tea ceremony in tea etiquette, from sitting, standing, kneeling, walking and other postures reflected. Tea ceremony is a supreme state. Slowly tasting tea, pay attention to the color and flavor of tea, pay attention to water quality, teaware, pay attention to drink, savor. And in the tea activities, more into the philosophy, ethics, morality and Zen, so that drinking tea can also cultivate the body, taste life, and then reach the spiritual enjoyment. Slowly, you will realize that drinking tea is also a kind of beauty, the unity of heaven and man, a small teapot in a big mystery, from the light tea soup, you can also taste the life of a hundred flavors. Tea girls in the performance, that is a slow down the enjoyment. A move, a style, a smile, are full of intellectual beauty. That beauty, washed away; that quiet, like an empty valley orchid; that slow, but extraordinarily moving. At this point, you will know the original slow down, is also so beautiful.

　　A friend likes to travel, he likes to go to some small towns to feel the slow life, where people live slowly, everything seems to be unhurried. The essayist Bi Shumin also wrote in a travelogue: "You see, everything that is natural is slow. The sun rises a little and sets a little; flowers bloom one by one and fall petal by petal; rice ripens and the linden tree grows old, all are slow. Those natural changes that occur rapidly are mostly disasters, such as volcanic eruptions, such as hurricanes and torrential rains ......"

　　Which is better, fast life or slow life, I think only relaxation is the best life ......
