①当今社会是个看脸的时代,大多数人希望通过提升“颜值”来获得更多的自信与机遇。然而颜值并不能决定一切。马云,一个名列福布斯全球科技百富榜亚洲第一的男人,他并没有很高的颜值。但他通过自己的努力,取得了如今的诸多成就。即使是在颜值时代,修心亦是很重要的。②一个没有素质的人,就算穿的多么华丽,一说话一个举动就能暴露自己。一个非常有涵养的人,即使穿着朴素,和他相处也会觉得清风拂面。
故乡味道还证明着你口味的正宗。如果你对自己故乡的食物有着清晰的记忆,那么在一个饭局上,尤其是和你的口味正好吻合的饭局上,你就有绝对的话语权。故乡甚至关乎个人的尊严。在我看来,没有哪个地方的食物更好吃,但是一个故乡感非常强烈的人,他能把故乡的“口味正确”上升到信数的水准。比如,哪个地方的辣椒最辣,这绝不是史高维尔指数能够标定的。羊肉更是这样,甘肃、宁夏都声称自己拥有世界上最好的羊肉,新疆和内蒙古更具体到南疆还是北疆、呼伦贝尔还是锡林郭勒。一个海南人过来插话,加积鸭、文昌鸡、和乐蟹、东山一羊字还没说出来,所有北方的网友不约而同地敲黑板:注意,我们在讨论羊肉的话题。
“中国”一词后来随着所指对象不同而有不同的含义。大致说来,有以下六种概念:一是指京师(首都)。二是指天子直接统治的地区,如诸葛亮对孙权说:“若能以吴越之众与中国抗衡,不如早与之绝。”三是指中原地区。四是指国内、内地,如《史记·武帝本纪》:“天下名山八,而三在蛮夷,五在中国。”五是指诸夏族居住的地区。六是指华夏或汉族建立的国家,《史记》《汉书》经常出现这样的称谓。所以自汉代开始,人们常常把汉族建立的中原王朝称为“中国”。
古琴之外的其他弹拔乐器一般都是点状出音,即每弹一次出一音,因而音与音之间会有明显的间隙,不连贯。这使它们在表现音乐的强度和力度方面,有一定的效果,但在表现深邃、悠远的意境方面,有着明显的欠缺。然而古琴却没有这样的缺憾。古琴的有效弦长特别长,振幅大,振动时间久,所以古琴在演奏中会出现独有的“走手音”。“走手音”的特点之一,就是它所造就的线状音迹能让声音产生游动感。这可以使琴音显得绵延而深远。
应该承认,好读书这个习惯的养成是很重要的。如果根本不读书或者不喜欢读书,那么,无论说什么求甚解或不求甚解就都毫无意义了。因为不读书就不了解什么知识,不喜欢读也就不能用心去了解书中的道理。一定要好读书,这才有起码的发言权.真正把书读进去了,越读越有兴趣,自然就会慢慢了解书中的道理。一下子想完全读懂所有的书,特别是完全读懂重要的经典著作,那除了狂妄自大的人以外,谁也不敢这样自信。而读书的要诀,全在于会意.对于这一点,陶渊明尤其有独到的见解。所以,他每每遇到真正会意的时候,就高兴得连饭都忘记吃了。
