This is a prose by Xu Wei, a writer in the Ming Dynasty. The source of the work is "The Complete Works of Xu Wenchang"
By describing the landscape inside and outside "Huorantang" and the feelings it brings to people,
it leads to a profound truth:
If the human heart is hindered by selfish interests, it will become as dark as the "Shuorantang" before the reconstruction,
so that nothing from the outside world can be seen.
The general idea is that when the author walked to "Jianhu Lake", he was impressed by the beautiful mountains and clear waters, the simple and hospitable people,
It looked like a paradise~
There is a hall on the west side of the Hushan Huanhui Meeting House, where passers-by can stay overnight.
However, due to regulations, this hall is "walled on all sides, and the west side is cut out, and can only accommodate two bodies." "
The passer-by is seated in the east, and must be backed by lakes and mountains, unable to capture the whole scenery.
The article describes it as "sitting in the open light and seeking obscurity"
The author couldn't see it through, so he made a brief construction of the hall, "taking the southwest side and opening up the east side directly.
Let the guests sit east to west, leaning against the lake and mountains."
In this way, "abandoning the obstacles and leaving the open space, but being obscure and yet becoming clear", after the construction, I wanted to name it, and felt that "suddenly" was the most suitable.
After naming it, the author thought about its meaning again and again, and continued to think about it. Thought: (Translation of the vernacular is as follows)
"The human heart is actually the same as this one. When it is hindered by selfish interests, it only knows my own seven-foot body. Even if it is my relatives who live in the same room, their The pain and itching happened right in front of his eyes, but he pretended not to see anything. Isn't it just like the original lakes and mountains, although they were right in front of his eyes,
were blocked?
p>
After the things that hinder him are removed, even if it is four seas away,
The pain and itching may not necessarily happen in front of my eyes, but it will be so vivid that it seems to be lingering in front of my eyes.
Isn’t it just like the lakes and mountains now are hundreds of miles away, but they can be seen through the window?
From this point of view, the distance between people’s open-mindedness and unopen-mindedness is very close. Yes!
The nuances of caring only for one's own interests and taking all things under heaven as a common ground are all tied together.
This is the person who named this hall. People who go to this hall must encourage each other.
Is it just for the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains?
Since I named this hall for this purpose, I am preparing the public Everyone, so I wrote this note.
