"what you love, you die on what." It's a famous saying of Lao She. The understanding of Lao She's famous saying from different angles will lead to different opinions. The main differences are roughly two: First, people think that what they say is "persistence". For example, if you love something, it is more important than your own life. The attitude of "for love, I would rather die than die" is obvious-there are many such examples at home and abroad; First, I thought it was "excessive". For example, I fell too deep because I was obsessed with something, and the will to "get better and not be afraid of death" was firmly rooted in the rock-similar cases were found in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad. The former has a willingness to go through fire and water; The latter seems to be the kind of pathological condition that does not hit the south wall and does not look back? Obviously, Lao She is not an ancient man. His famous saying "What you love, you die on" seems to be different from "Love wants to live, and evil wants to die" in The Analects of Yan Yuan ("Love wants to live, evil wants to die, and it is confusing to live and die"), but in essence, they are different. When you hate someone, you always want to kill him. It refers to treating people extremely and excessively with personal feelings of love and hate. I read an article "Reading Notes" and "Alarming in Dubai" written by Zheng Yuanxu, which quoted Lao She's famous saying that "what you love, you will die on it" and wrote the meaning of "excessive luxury". "The Dubai crisis touched the nerves of financiers, economists and investors and made them nervous for a while. Most people only hold a spectator mentality ... I'm only worried about whether we humans, the masters of the earth, will turn 2 1 century into our own doomsday. Because in my eyes, Dubai is equivalent to a four-word idiom: luxury. " As this "manuscript reading note" said, the above idiom "is always linked with emperors of past dynasties, which is nothing more than a sea of meat and wine, as well as three palaces and six hospitals"-Emperor Yangdi loves coughing, so he ordered a maid-in-waiting to be his living spittoon, and when her throat itched, the maid-in-waiting who stood by quickly opened her mouth; Yuan Xu in the Northern Wei Dynasty proclaimed himself the emperor, and his biological mother, Hu, listened to politics in the court. In history, Hu Taihou (23 years old this year) was at the age of youth, and her sexual desire was like a tiger. She was entrenched in Hu's heart, eyeing the prey around her, not only fornicating the harem, but even making a scandal of forcing her brother-in-law. In order to win the smile of da ji, Shang Zhouwang created "the punishment of cannon lattice", and let the guilty people stand on the red-hot soldering iron until their feet are cooked until they die; Du Mu's poem "Crossing the Huaqing Palace" is a quatrain, "No one knows it's litchi", which specifically criticizes Xuanzong's special post road of "sending litchi thousands of miles away" in order to win the favor of Yang Guifei ... Naturally, there are many similar "extravagant desires" in history, and no one has escaped the inevitable fate of "what you love, you will die on what". To tell you the truth, the reason why I always advocate the realm of "don't be humiliated" and always avoid letting myself fall into the mood of "great joy and great sorrow", and deliberately exercise self-discipline to be kind to others, make peace, and not go to extremes, in fact, I am paying attention to trying my best to grasp the "degree" of dealing with others and prevent myself from falling into the tragic life situation of "dying on what I love" because of self-reliance. At the end of the manuscript reading note "Alarming in Dubai", I lamented: "Humans love pleasure too much, show off too much, plunder too much, and be too greedy ..." I hid my book and fell into a reverie: these people who are keen on extravagance and extravagance are almost frantically accumulating wealth and enjoying luxury, and at the same time, they are worried about throwing the earth into the "ice age" crisis by themselves. In a word: "commit iniquity" It's a line from Peach Blossom Fan: "Seeing him rise from a tall building, seeing him entertain guests, seeing his building collapse ..."
