Jia Pingwa once said: "Wang Zengqi is a fox, and he has become an old man."
Wang Zengqi himself said: "Life needs light and shadow, sunshine and deep thought, and the taste is here."
Reading Wang Zengqi's Everything has its heart, and everyone in the world has its taste, I really feel the delicacy of others and live the highest realm of indifferent life. Follow his wisdom and discover the fun and beauty of the world in a plain life.
Carnivores are not despicable.
Listening to Wang Lao talking about food makes your mouth water, and you want to try it. Few people can put the main points of cooking so brilliantly. In his works, an ordinary dish is exquisitely made into a delicious food for adults. For example:
Lion's head is Huai 'an cuisine. Pork is half fat and half thin, and people who like to eat fat meat can also be seven fat and three thin, and they should be "finely cut and roughly chopped", such as pomegranate rice size (the meat grinder can't mince the minced meat). Chop water chestnut, mix it with minced meat, make balls as big as oranges by hand, fry them in an oil pan until they form a thin shell, take them out, put them in a water pan, add soy sauce and sugar, cook them with slow fire until they taste completely, and collect the soup and put it in a deep belly pan. As a result, the lion's head became loose and the entrance melted.
Dongpo meat, that is, braised pork, is in full swing. First attack with strong fire, cook a few times, that is, add seasoning, simmer slowly, and the soup will bubble up. It's delicious.
"Hand-grabbed meat" has become an "unparalleled" delicacy in his works. However, hand-grabbed meat is boiled in water and cut into large pieces of mutton. Mongolians eat very generously. Holding a big piece of meat in one hand, I cut it myself with a Mongolian knife. Mongolians really have great kung fu in cutting meat with knives. After eating a piece of meat, there is not even a trace of meat left on the bone. Because it is slaughtered, cooked and eaten, it is very fresh and tender. After reading these, do you have the urge to try them?
Eat spring. Spring is here, and it's time to dig wild vegetables. Walking and choosing vegetables is a good habit. Most wild vegetables are bitter, and all bitter vegetables can be cleared away, but it is more important to eat fresh. For example, Artemisia selengensis is very fragrant. Su Dongpo has a poem saying: "Artemisia sphaerocephala has short buds all over the ground, and the puffer fish wants to go up." Smell and taste are difficult to compare and uncertain. The so-called "fragrance", Wang Lao has his own unique views, such as sitting by the river and smelling the newly rising spring water while eating. Eating wild vegetables means "eating spring". What a peaceful heart it is to have such poetic feelings!
Wang Lao's pen and ink are like a trickle, full of fireworks, and the literati's elegant mood is vividly on the paper.
Enjoy yourself, be indifferent and open-minded
Sun Li said that writing is his best rest. Here's the thing. When a person is writing, it is the most fulfilling time and the happiest time. But one can't write from morning till night, so he becomes a writing machine. He must find something to entertain himself. Wang Lao likes elegance, singing, writing, painting and cooking.
In the new place, Wang Lao doesn't like to visit department stores, but likes to visit the vegetable market, which is more lively. The process of buying food is also the process of conceiving, conceiving what kind of ingredients to make what kind of dishes. Cooking is still a lightweight sport. Washing vegetables, cutting vegetables and cooking are all standing, so it is good for people who work at their desks all day to change their posture. Cooking is enjoyable and leisurely.
Writing can make people calm. It is a good enjoyment to "be quiet with ancient monuments and black girls, and the quatrains are not as red as red". Write a few words in succession, without keeping the first one. Probably the third or fourth picture is better, because the pen is put away. I've been writing all morning, and sometimes none of them are good, which is embarrassing. Then put away the pen and inkstone and go out for a walk. Writing is a distraction. Why bother yourself?
For writing novels and essays, Wang Lao said that all parts should be "sincere and sincere" and "scattered in form but not scattered in spirit". Eight words, concise and to the point. When using a language, you must make a choice, and you can't just pick up a pen and write. When writing poetry, you should know how to avoid it. Some words are not said, and some words are not said like others. As for speaking difficult words easily, it is even more kung fu to lift weights easily without feeling difficult.
Dullness is the result of hard thinking. Su Yan has good taste, and the materials and kung fu must be at home. Tang Qing can ink the "boiled cabbage" in Sichuan cuisine, but it is not a real boiled cabbage. The secret lies in soup, which uses chicken soup. Learning is everywhere.
Meditate on the past as if at the end of your eyes.
"It's okay this sit-in, one day is like two days. If you live to be 70 years old, it is 140 years old. When will gold become, and white hair will come out day and night. Open your eyes for three thousand years, and the speed is as fast as a flash. So Dongpo is old, you should pay attention. I came to this porch and looked at the sea mat. The home mountain has not returned, and the poem is sent to the wall. " This song by Su Shi emphasizes the realm of meditation.
Quiet is a kind of temperament, but also a kind of cultivation. It is really difficult for people living in a noisy world to get used to silence. Quiet, not blindly lonely, ignorant of the world. Only when we are quiet can we take care of everything and be interested in human life. Silence is natural and humane.
The world is noisy. We can't escape to the deep mountains. The only way is to make noise and keep quiet.
"Meditate on the past, as if at the end of your eyes. "I think this is the best psychological state of creation. Even when writing, it is best to have peace of mind, as the old man Baishi said in his inscription: "When your heart is quiet, you can wave it."
As a person, Wang Lao's prose is plain, which is due to his quiet and indifferent heart and detached attitude towards human things. Even in adversity, he was relieved.
In "Let it be", he said that I was lucky enough to be a rightist once. Otherwise, my life will be more dull. What an enlightened mind it is to be so absurd!
Ding Ling once said that she was "resigned" from being classified as a rightist to working in the Great Northern Wilderness. Wang Lao thinks it's too bitter, and it's easier to "go with the flow". "Encounter" is of course unfavorable, and the environment and life are oriented. "An" is also a last resort. What if you don't "Ann"? In that case, why don't you want to open some? As Beijingers say, "Self-deception." Of course, this is not all a joke. Life is interesting.
From the book "Everything has its heart, and the world has its taste", we can easily see that for Wang Zengqi, life is like surgery on candied dates, and there are probably not many such people. Wang Lao is the only one I have ever heard of. I have to say that he inherited the temperament of his teacher, Mr. Shen Congwen, and he is willing to calculate the morning and evening.
