Thoughts on Reading Smell on Earth: 1000 words

I recently read the Taste of the World by Mr. Wang Zengqi. At first, reading for the purpose of writing annotations didn't have much "taste". However, I got gastroenteritis a few days ago and lived a "fasting" life, and suddenly realized the taste of the book.

"Delicious on Earth" has written many home-cooked dishes and local flavors. No matter radish, tofu, potatoes, ham, bacon or Dongpo meat, they are all ordinary, but they don't seem to be delicious on earth. I don't know if it was because I drank rice porridge for a few days and ate rice for a few days, and it turned my stomach when rice was mentioned in rice porridge, or if Master Wang's article was written with a wand, but it made my mouth water.

This also reminds me of the menu with garden in Yuan Mei in Qing Dynasty. No matter the bean sprouts, spinach and bean curd skin in Miscellaneous Vegetables, or the lettuce, sauerkraut and pickled cucumber in Small Menu, they are not delicious, but a home-cooked dish that makes people salivate and become a "recipe" imitated by many people.

These two books, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, only write family stories, but they are fascinating. Why do I usually eat the same food, but I can't feel the delicious food at all? I'm hungry for a few days now, and suddenly I feel deeply. Maybe it's because of the different hearts.

I usually have other things in my heart, so I can't savor it carefully when I eat it. The delicacies I eat are tasteless. I have been hungry for a long time these days, and my heart has calmed down. You can savor it carefully when you eat it, and even rice porridge can be tasted. Taste the taste of the world with a kind of "meditation", which is also the source of the "taste" of this book.

"There must be calmness in every major event", which was said by Weng Tonghe, a famous politician and calligraphy artist who used to be Emperor Tongzhi and Guangxu. People with "meditation" and "quietness" can not only taste the delicious food in the world, but also face all the difficulties in the world with a calm heart. If Han Xin didn't meditate, how could he endure the humiliation of his legs and stay at the last stop? How can you drown Long Qie's 300,000 troops? How is it possible to lay half the country for the Han Dynasty? It is with this "meditation" that he can "die and be born later" and achieve "Mount Tai collapses in front and its color remains the same, and the elk walks on the left without blinking", which is immortal.

In our daily life, we should have a "Zen mind", be calm when things happen, look at everything in the world with a normal mind and taste the world with a "Zen mind".

Buddha said that "each phase is born from the heart", and all kinds of tastes are born from the heart.

This is Su Wenjun's composition in the evening self-study. As a kind of feeling after reading, Wen Jun's articles are different from the general students' structure of "reading experience-introducing the author-summarizing the works-connecting with reality". Looking back on his reading experience from gastroenteritis, the enlightenment he got from his works is vertical. After comparing the similarities and differences of his works from Wang Zengqi's Taste of the World to Yuan Mei's Menu with the Garden, he came to the conclusion that "taste the taste of the world with a meditation", and then quoted Weng Tonghe's famous sentence and Han Xin's case to prove his point of view.

Wen Jun is an independent and diligent boy in his studies. Reflected in his writing, he is also an author who respects his heart and dares to express his views. He is also a student with reading and accumulation. I remember last semester when I was talking about "Fine Willow of Zhou Yafu Army", I asked my classmates to try to recite the full text as soon as they finished reciting the text. As a result, Wen Jun recited every word. It was only after asking that he learned it by memorizing the text. If Wen Jun can always maintain and carry forward this spirit, I believe he will go further and more steadily in the future.
