Duke Huan was a heroic man, and it seemed that he shouldn't be like this. People can eat and live to old age. After many storms and waves, it should be considered a blessing to be able to hold a beak on both shoulders and look down at the sky and the earth.

5. People who believe in Buddhism often have to become a monk. . Why did you come to the monkhood? It is said that it is for a major cause and effect, that is, to "end life and death." The ultimate goal of cultivating at home is to "put an end to life and death." Life and death are one thing. When there is life, there is death, and when there is death, there is life. "Li" means "end". The endless circulation of life and death is called reincarnation. Even if a person does not fall into the lower realms of reincarnation, there is no joy in the suffering of birth, old age, illness and death. Therefore, people who believe in Buddhism want to transcend life and death, transcend reincarnation, and realize the endurance of the law of non-birth. Being a monk is just a means, and Xi Jing is just a means. ——Liang Shiqiu "Life is in leisure time"

It was as if the air in the room was absolutely still, and my breathing did not stir up any waves. of. I stared at the smoke line secretly alone and was stunned. The lilac tree in the courtyard outside the house still has many bright red and scorched yellow leaves. The sound of dead leaves and branches can be heard clearly. First there is a small crisp snapping sound, then there is the sound of knocking against the branches, and finally It was a slap on the empty steps. At this time, I feel lonely. In this loneliness I became aware of my own existence—a moment of isolated existence. This state is not easy to obtain. It is related to the environment, but it is more related to the state of mind. ——Liang Shiqiu "Life is in Leisure"

7. A truly ideal partner is hard to come by. A good friend in the living room may not necessarily be a good travel companion. An ideal partner must meet many conditions. It can’t be too dirty, like Uncle Ji’s “He often doesn’t wash his head and face on January 15th, and he can’t bathe unless it’s very itchy.” He can’t be too dirty, and he can’t be too dirty. Everything should be wiped with fire and wine, and it can’t be like clay sculptures, wood carvings, or dead fish. Even if you open your mouth, you can't chatter all day long and snore all night long. You must not be glib or stupid, you must talk and laugh, move and be still. When you are quiet, you can accompany you silently to watch the clouds and listen to the rain at night, and when you are moving, you can roll on the grass like a child. A live fish! Where can I find such a companion? ——Liang Shiqiu's "Prose of Liang Shiqiu"

The result must be a dark and glaring dish, which is unremarkable at first glance and cannot be chewed in the mouth. It is disappointing even in Peiping. Dongxinglou or Zhimeizhai, the fried double crispy dish is also a dish made by weighing techniques.

We should hope that everyone can belong to the "leisure class". . If the leisure class can be common to all mankind, it will no longer be a sin.

The working people work hard to solve everyone's life problems, and then only a few upper-class people have time to do "human work." Bees, a small number of people are human beings. To do "human work", leisure does not mean to be full and idle all day long, but to avoid being pampered and lazy like ants and bees. Even worse, you can still be considered a human being! To obtain an official position or share some leftovers by flattering the people in power, or even working as a villain, is to be an accomplice or an accomplice, and it is not the work of a human being. - Liang Shiqiu's "Leisure Place".

The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and a new generation changes. The old man is just like that. Looking at the stories of reincarnation recorded in Buddhist books, they are mostly absurd and can be used to help people talk and persuade the world. Whether they are true or not is almost impossible to test. If the theory of reincarnation is difficult to prove, then the so-called theory of life and death is just an unattainable ideal. ——Liang Shiqiu's "Life is Life in Leisure"

Yan Danzi said: "A person who is brave in blood will have a red face when he is angry; a person who is brave in pulse will have a green face in anger; a person who is brave in bones will have a green face when he is angry.

In fact, there isn't much soup inside the buns. Instead, it comes with a bowl of clear soup. There are seven or eight strands of egg skin floating on the surface. Some people throw the buns into the soup and eat them again, which makes them real soup dumplings. Although the fillings of this kind of small soup dumplings are not bad, the beauty lies in the bun wrapper, which is half-frozen and half-frozen, moderately thin and thick, and quite skillful in making. There are also people in Taipei who imitate Shanghai-style soup dumplings. It is very rare to find it so similar. . ——Liang Shiqiu "Soup Buns"

42. In fact, a large part of the fun of eating this kind of buns lies in the moment of grabbing and sucking. The bun skin is made from hot noodles and is slightly harder than the noodles used for hot dumplings, otherwise it won't be able to contain the soup.

46. Someone said: "In history, a poet seems to be sacred, but a poet next door is a joke." This is true. Looking at the portraits of ancient poets, all of them are wearing loose clothes and elegant clothes, as if they are otherworldly. The characters in "Wangchuan Picture" are playing chess, drinking, throwing pots and drinking wine, and all of them are Confucian scholars. Guan Yuyi, with a calm demeanor, we only feel that Mojie was a romantic man through the ages, but no one painted him for the embarrassing scene of him falling into a jealous jar while chanting bitterly. We pay homage to the thatched cottage of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce on the bank of Huanhua Stream, and recall the scene of Du Lingye, an old man in ancient clothes and wine, living in Maoci, chanting Canglang, and being in charge of coquettishness. However, we cannot help but remember the scene in Leiyang where he died of bloating from roasted beef and white wine. Elegant. ——Liang Shiqiu's "Yashe Sketch"

47. Under the extended family system, the generation gap between parents-in-law and daughter-in-law is the most obvious and miserable. When a son comes back from abroad, he cannot rush into the boudoir. If he does, not only will his parents-in-law glare, but everyone else will raise their eyebrows. He must first go to the upper room to pay his respects, talk and laugh for a long time, and then the parents-in-law (mostly the mother-in-law) will say kindly: "You can go back to the house and have a rest." The son is ordered to return to the palace. The daughter-in-law cannot follow up and has to deal with it in front of her parents-in-law. Then the parents-in-law will show mercy again and say, "You can go too." Then the daughter-in-law can leave, and leave slowly.

——Liang Shiqiu's "Elegant House Sketch"

48. I started smoking cigarettes when I was studying abroad. I was alone and had no one to stop me. When I was traveling in the world, my mind was numb. When I saw others puffing on clouds, I became addicted. Get cool. In the following years, it went from one packet a day to two packets a day to one can a day. About twenty years ago, one day, on a whim, I wanted to test how much self-denial I have. I might as well start by quitting smoking. Mark Twain once said: "It is very easy to quit smoking. I have quit dozens of times a year." I did not choose an auspicious day, and there was no one in the Suwa room. I quietly put out the remaining cigarettes. Gu Nao'er was thrown into the garbage, leaving behind his cigarette holder, pipe, cigarette pack, and lighter, which were later given to others, but the ashtray was not thrown away. The "cold turkey" method of quitting smoking was not very pleasant. I was at a loss for a while, but I was too busy with work and had no time to get cravings, so I just ate a piece of chocolate if I couldn't stand it. I haven't finished a box of chocolates yet, and I was really tired of it, so I gave up chocolates too. I am ashamed to say that I quit smoking only once, and I have never quit smoking since then - Liang Shiqiu's "Prose of Liang Shiqiu"

49. I don't want to give it away, and I don't want others to give it away to me. For people who really can't bear to leave, the moment of separation is like having an operation. As a rule, anesthetics should be used first to make the patient go through the pain in a haze, so it is best to avoid the pain of separation. A friend said, "If you leave, I won't see you off; if you come, no matter how windy or rainy it is, I will pick you up." I appreciate that feeling the most. ——Liang Shiqiu's "Ya She Essay Farewell"

50. "I love all old things - old friends, old times, old habits, ancient books, old wine; and I believe that Tao Lesai, you I must also admit that I have always been fond of an old wife." This is what the old-fashioned Mr. Hardcastle said in Goldsmith's famous play "Being Compromised." As the saying goes, "People are not as good as old, and clothes are not as good as new" - Liang Shiqiu "Liang Shiqiu Prose"

51. Why do people work hard and hard? Working long and hard at night, grinding hands and feet, if it is purely for food and clothing, like ants and bees, then what is the value of being a human being? ——Liang Shiqiu "Life is in leisure time"

52. Trees and people have the same fate sooner or later, they will fall. There is only one difference. Trees are worried about external dangers, and people are worried about them. It's the inner turmoil. ——Liang Shiqiu "Life is in leisure time"

We came into this world without our consent, and we will leave this world without our consent. We are passive. ——Liang Shiqiu "Life is in leisure time"

54. Having said that, the uneasiness in my heart is increasing day by day. It's useless to sharpen your gun before the battle, and it will be even worse if you don't sharpen it. I saw all the people's eyes staring at me with strange eyes, as if they all thought I was a big caterpillar, wondering whether I was going to turn into a butterfly or a gray moth. I don't know what I'm going to become. I was wondering in my heart: If I pass the exam, will I be proud and proud, will many people want to show me a few smiling faces? If that fails, do I need to find a crack in the floor to crawl in? ——Liang Shiqiu "Liang Shiqiu's Prose"

55. I have the utmost respect for those who practice at home and those who practice as monks. Due to their meditation practice, blessings and wisdom, I do not doubt that it is possible for them to realize the Dharma-endurance in this life. However, I doubt whether they will be able to be reborn in the Pure Land after leaving this life. This pure land, like other paradises that have been described, may not exist. If it exists, it only exists in our hearts. ——Liang Shiqiu "Life is leisure time"

56. Shuangxiang in Peking, Daye in Tianjin, Longjing in West Lake, Guapian in Lu'an, Tuocha in Sichuan, Pu'er in Yunnan, Junshan in Dongting Lake Tea, rock tea from Wuyi Mountain, even ungentlemanly tea stems and Gao Mo'er filled with stars in the pot. ——Liang Shiqiu "Liang Shiqiu's Prose"

58. Yuhuatai's soup dumplings are truly full of soup. There are seven or eight steamed buns placed in a basket, and they are served on the table with the baskets steaming hot. There is a steamer cloth underneath the steamed buns, and the buns lie flat on the steamer cloth.

When eating, you need to be sharp and quick. Grab the folds of the bun and lift it up suddenly. The skin of the bun will suddenly fall down, like a deflated breast sucked by a baby. Quickly put the bun into your own plate before it breaks, and gently bite the bun. Skin
