夜来似闻某人素心,明日试往看之,入其门,窥其闺,见所谓某人方据案面南看一文书。顾客入来,默然一揖,便拉袖命坐,曰:“君既来,可亦试看此书。”相与欢笑。日影尽去,既已自饥,徐问客曰:“君亦饥耶?”不亦快哉!
現代人睡眠质量差的原因主要来自工作压力和电子产品两方面。近日,一篇名为《毎天2点睡觉,37岁年轻父亲查出胃癌晩期》的文章引起人们关注。主人公刘凌峰是有名的“拼命三郎",业务多、压力大,几乎毎天都是凌晨两点之后才睡覚,最拼的一次是连续工作70个小时没有合过眼。像他这祥熬夜晩睡的人在全球范围内都较为普遍。另外,睡眠质量差的人。有许多都是电子产品的重度依赖者。互联网从业者睡眠质量普遍较差;自媒体人和程序员是失眠最严重的人群。网约车司机、快递员和广告人的睡眠质量也普遍较差。同时,有四分之一的人失眠是因为玩手机。
谦虚并非故意自贬身价,做客套应酬,像虚伪者所常表现的假面孔;它是起于自知之明,知道自己所已知的比起世间所可知的非常渺小,未知世界随着已知世界扩大,愈前走发现天边愈远。他发现宇宙的无边无底,对之不能不起崇高雄伟之感,反观自己渺小,就不能不起谦虚之感。谦虚必起于自我渺小的意识,谦虚者的心目中必有一种为自己所不知不能的高不可攀的东西,老是要抬着头去望它。这东西可以是全体宇宙,可以是圣贤豪杰,也可以是一个崇高的理想。一个人必须见地高远,知道天高地厚才能真正地谦虚,不知道天高地厚的人就老是觉得自己伟大,海若未曾望洋,就以为“天下之美尽在己”。谦虚有它消极方面,就是自我渺小的意识;也有它积极方面,就是高远的瞻瞩与恢阔的胸襟。
“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。
关于风筝的起源有很多说法,比如斗笠、树叶说,认为风筝的出现受到被风吹起的斗笠、树叶的启发,还有帆船、帐篷说,飞鸟说等。观点虽不统一,但风筝很早就出现在中国并无异议。《韩非子·外储说左上》中记载“墨子为木鸢,三年而成,飞一日而败。弟子曰:‘先生之巧,至能使木鸢飞。’”可见春秋战国时期已有风筝,不过为木质。随着造纸术的发展,从唐朝开始,纸糊的风筝逐渐兴起。当了宋代,放风筝已经成为当时人们喜爱的户外活动。明清时期,风筝的制作技艺、装饰技艺得到空前发展。至清朝道光年间达到鼎盛。
