There is an advertising slogan that goes well - what will happen to the world if human beings lose their association? Imagination is the preserve of human beings. You can also make "spiritual friends" with people you have heard of for a long time but have never met. Mr. Ma Xulun (1884-1970) wrote something like this:
I have heard of scholars from far away who often express their wishes, and I am still discerning after seeing strange books.
What the first couplet here refers to is "divine friendship".
In addition to having "divine friendship" with contemporary people, you can also have "divine friendship" with ancient people. Zuo Zongtang (1812-1885) was so good that no one in the world looked down upon him. He once wrote a couplet of his own:
He had no money but worried about the world. He had read thousands of volumes and passed on to the ancients.
Zuo Houye’s self-confidence in his early years is worth learning from aspiring young people.
Regarding the "spiritual friendship" with the ancients, Zuo Gong also wrote the following:
There is spiritual enlightenment in the high mountains and long rivers. I miss the ancients in the wind and rain.
You see, this look is less arrogant and arrogant, and more melancholy and sad.
There are also a few pictures of people having friendship with the ancients, which are also very interesting. For example, Mr. Jin Nong (1687-1763) said:
Indulging in literature and art is like lust, and he regards the ancients as his friends.
This may be a portrayal of Mr. Jin’s own life.
? There is also Liang Shanzhou (1723-1815), a bachelor:
The book treats the sages as guests and hosts, and the bamboo and wind and rain are like Xian Shao.
Opening a volume of books is like chatting with ancient sages such as Confucius, Mencius, Lao, and Zhuang. The artistic conception of the second couplet here is also quite ancient - the bamboo leaves rustling in the wind and rain, just like playing the music "Xian" and "Shao" from the Yao and Shun periods.
In addition to getting to know each other, people can also make friends with animals. Mr. Qian Yong (1759-1844) also wrote this painting very pleasantly -
Inviting the crane to walk slowly along three paths at dawn, and drinking plum blossoms together in a pot of spring.
This look is very reminiscent of Lin Hejing (967-1028) of the Song Dynasty, who was a "plum wife and a crane" - it doesn't matter whether anyone understands me or not, I have plum blossoms to get drunk with, and cranes to swim with. , that's enough.
Of course, you can also talk to the mountains, rivers, bamboos and trees. For example, this picture of Prime Minister Liu Luoguo (1719-1804) -
Water can be my friend, and bamboo can relieve the guilty conscience and be my teacher.
Take water as your friend and bamboo as your teacher. Be indifferent and follow everything, and be open-minded and bring a thousand blessings. If you are interested in wine, sex, wealth, fame and wealth, please take a detour and I will not accompany you.
