探寻生活真谛：淡然、释怀、自在

Seeking the True Meaning of Life: Serenity, Letting Go, and Ease

1. 春有百花秋有月，夏有凉风冬有雪。若无闲事在心头，便是人间好时节。

1. In spring there are blooming flowers, in autumn there is the moon, in summer there is a cool breeze, and in winter there is snow. If there are no idle thoughts in one's heart, then every season is a good time on earth.

2. 世上本无事，庸人自扰之。

2. There is nothing wrong in the world, but the fool makes a fuss about it.

3. 人生一世，草生一秋。“寄蜉蝣于天地，渺沧海之一粟”，我们何其渺小和有限，不要和命运去争。赢了如何，输了如何，最后不过忙忙碌碌一场空。

3. In one lifetime, the grass grows for a single autumn. "To entrust oneself to the vastness of the heavens and the earth, to be but a grain of sand in the boundless sea," how small and limited we are. Let's not argue with fate. What if we win, what if we lose? In the end, it's all a vain hustle and bustle.

4. 你尽管活着，上天自有安排。

4. You may live as you wish; the heavens have their own arrangements.

5. 明朝顶级大才子杨慎，是一代权臣、内阁首辅杨廷和的儿子，出身不凡，志存高远。加上他自己聪明过人，才华横溢，取功名富贵不过探囊取物。

5. The renowned talent Yang Shen of the Ming Dynasty was the son of the powerful minister and the first Prime Minister of the cabinet, Yang Tinghe. Born with extraordinary abilities and aspirations, he was exceptionally intelligent and talented, attaining wealth and fame was as easy for him as picking a jewel from a pocket.

6. 然而，因为“大议礼”事件，嘉靖皇帝十分痛恨他，把他贬到当时非常荒凉的云南永昌，严旨永不录用。

6. However, because of the incident of the "Great Rites Debate," Emperor Jiajing deeply disliked him and demoted him to the then desolate Yuncheng in Yunnan, strictly ordering that he would never be employed again.

7. 杨慎非常难过，但既然无法改变，不如接受。既然和朝廷无缘，不如释怀。从北京前往云南，经过长江的时候，他感慨万千，想到多少英雄人物都已经灰飞烟灭，于是写下一首词：

7. Yang Shen was extremely saddened, but since there was no changing it, he might as well accept it. Since he had no connection with the court, he might as well let it go. On his journey from Beijing to Yunnan, as he passed through the Yangtze River, he felt a myriad of emotions, thinking of how many heroic figures had already turned to ashes, and thus wrote a poem:

8. “滚滚长江东逝水，浪花淘尽英雄。是非成败转头空。青山依旧在，几度夕阳红。”

8. "The mighty Yangtze River flows eastward, its waves wash away heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure all turn to emptiness. The green mountains remain the same, and the red sun sets repeatedly."

9. 得失荣辱，是非成败，都是一场空。只有青山不改，绿水长流。

9. Gain and loss, honor and disgrace, right and wrong, success and failure, all are in vain. Only the green mountains remain unchanged, and the clear waters flow endlessly.

10. 不要执着于功名利禄，有则锦上添花，无则依旧风华。

10. Do not become overly attached to fame and wealth. If you have them, they are like adding a brocade to a tapestry, enhancing its beauty. If not, you can still maintain your elegance.

11. 一位作家和朋友出门办事，遇到一个卖报纸的小孩，衣衫褴褛，非常可怜。

11. A writer and his friend went out to do something and encountered a newsboy who was dressed in rags and looked very pitiful.

12. 作家跟他买了一份报纸，多给了他一些钱，让他买些好吃的。可卖报男孩往地上啐了一口，恶狠狠地说：你是看不起我吗！我虽然卖报纸，但不需要你来可怜我，我最恨你们这样装腔作势的人。

12. The writer bought a newspaper from him and gave him some extra money to buy some nice food. But the newsboy spat on the ground and fiercely said: Do you think I'm unworthy of your pity! Although I sell newspapers, I don't need your sympathy. I hate people who pretend to be compassionate the most.

13. 朋友非常生气，准备上去争吵，作家拉住了他，说：有些人就像一辆行走着的垃圾车，身上装满怨恨，戾气，不满，失落等消极情绪，一旦找到发泄口，他们就会把垃圾倒出去。我们千万不要当他的发泄口。

13. The friend was very angry and was about to go up and argue, but the writer grabbed him and said: "Some people are like a moving garbage truck, filled with negative emotions such as resentment, anger, dissatisfaction, and despair. Once they find an outlet for their venting, they will dump out the garbage. We must never be their venting outlet.

14. 生活中，总会遇到烂人烂事。你如果纠缠，就会拉低自己的层次，浪费自己大量的时间和精力，赢了不光荣，输了不光彩。不要纠缠，远远离开，才是最明智的做法。

14. In life, you will inevitably encounter bad people and bad things. If you get entangled, it will lower your level, waste a lot of your time and energy, and neither winning nor losing will bring you honor. The wisest course of action is not to get entangled, but to distance yourself as far as possible.

16. He enjoyed boating, composing poems and verses, writing and painting, and also cooked a variety of delicious dishes with great creativity. For instance, the famous Dongpo Braised Pork and Dongpo Pork Leg are his masterpieces.

17. 他曾和朋友相约爬山，并在山上野餐，他写诗记录这件事：

17. He had made an appointment with friends to climb a mountain and had a picnic on the mountain, and he wrote a poem to record the event:

18. “雪沫乳花浮午盏，蓼茸蒿笋试春盘。人间有味是清欢。”

18. "Frothy milk foam floats in the afternoon cup, the tender stems of Chinese sorrel and chives try the spring plate. The most savory thing in the world is the pure joy."

19. 乳色鲜白的好茶伴着新鲜如翡翠般的春蔬，这野餐的味道着实十分爽口。而人间真正有味道的还是清淡的欢愉。

19. A delicate milky white tea paired with fresh vegetables as green as jade, the taste of this picnic is truly refreshing. Yet, it is the light-hearted joy in life that truly has a taste.

22. 生活不易，命运无常，学会给生活找点乐子，让自己身心愉悦，快快乐乐，才是人间值得。

22. Life is not easy, and fate is ever-changing. Learn to find some joy in life, make yourself mentally and physically content, and live happily ever after, that is what makes life on earth worthwhile.

23. 除了生死，人生没什么大事。学会淡然，释然，悠然，才能活出真正的幸福感。

23. Apart from life and death, there's nothing much in life. Only by learning to be indifferent, relaxed, and at ease can one truly live a happy life.

24. 金黄的芦苇铺满江岸，白色的苹花飘荡在渡口，碧绿的杨柳耸立在江堤上，红艳的野草渲染着滩头。虽然没有生死之交，却有毫无机巧算计之心的朋友，数那些在秋江上自由自在的鸥鹭。鄙视那些达官贵人们的，正是那些不识字的江上钓鱼翁。

24. Golden reeds cover the riverbank, white apple blossoms float at the ferry, emerald willows stand on the river embankment, and vibrant wild grasses paint the riverbank. Though not bound by life-and-death friendships, there are friends without cunning or deceit in their hearts, counting those seagulls and cormorants that roam freely over the autumn river. It is those who can't read and fish by the river who look down upon the officials and nobles.
