I feel free and unfettered by my body(放浪形骸)
The most famous calligraphy work in running
script in Chinese history is a preface written by a famous calligrapher (Wang
Xizhi) of the Jin Dynasty.
In the spring of AD 353, at the age of 50,
he and 40 other celebrities of the time gathered in a pavilion in what is now
Kuaiji Mountain in Zhejiang Province. The name of this pavilion is (Lanting).
Why do they gather here? This is because
there was a custom in ancient China.
On this day of the year, everyone goes to
the river and everyone washes their bodies in water soaked in herbs.
People at that time believed that by doing
so, they could eliminate misfortunes and gain blessings.
After they finished the ceremony, everyone
sat by the river, and everyone began to drink and eat.
A total of 41 people participated in this
open-air luncheon.
In total they composed 37 poems that
afternoon.
A good friend who attended this event
suggested.
We should put these poems today into a
collection of poems.
Everyone agrees with this idea..
After this collection of poems is
completed, a preface is required
All those who participated in this event
asked (Wang Xizhi) to write a preface to this collection of poems.
(Wang Xizhi) looked at the relatives and
friends who surrounded him, including his wife's brothers, several of his sons,
his political companions, and a famous eminent monk at the time.
He happily accepted everyone's request.
The fifth paragraph of this preface is as
follows.
Everyone's life will soon pass, and we will
communicate with countless people in this short life.
We sometimes gather in a room with our good
friends, and we share our ideals and pursuits, our own insights and experiences
with each other.
We sometimes pay attention to our own
interests, and we use this interest to express our feelings and emotions. We
are not bound by others and enjoy a free and uninhibited life.
This idiom means that a person is very free
and indulgent, and this person is not bound by worldly etiquette.
Dear friends, what inspiration or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Do you prefer to be with friends or to be
alone? Have you ever felt that your life is limited by many invisible chains?
I hope this story will give you something
new to gain.
放浪形骸(I feel free and unfettered by my body)
中國歷史上最著名的一篇行書書法作品是一篇序，作者是晉王朝的著名書法家(王羲之)。
西元353年的春天，50歲的他與其他40位當時的名士在現在的浙江省會稽山的一座亭子中聚會。這座亭子的名字叫做(蘭亭)。
他們為何會聚集在這裡呢?這是因為古代中國有一個風俗。
在每年的這一天，所有人都要到河邊、所有人都會用浸泡了香草的水沖洗全身。
當時的人們認為這樣做，就可以消除災禍並且獲得福氣。
他們舉辦完這個儀式之後，所有人便坐在河邊，大家開始喝酒吃飯。
在這場露天午宴中，參加的人共有41個人。
在那個下午他們總共創作了37首詩。
參加這場活動的一個好朋友建議。
我們應該把今天的這些詩集成一本詩集。
大家都很認同這個主意.。
這本詩集完成後，需要有一篇序
所有參加這場活動的人便請(王羲之)為這本詩集寫一篇序。
(王羲之)看著圍繞在他周圍的親朋好友們，這些人中有他妻子的兄弟，他的幾個兒子，他的政治同伴，還有當時一位著名的高僧。
他很開心地接受了眾人的請求。
這篇序的第五段如下。
每個人的一輩子都很快會過去，我們在這短暫的一生中都會與無數的人有過交流。
我們有時候與自己的好朋友們聚在一個房間之中，我們彼此分享自已的理想與追求，自已的感悟與體會。
我們有時候會把注意力投注在自己的興趣上，我們藉由這個興趣抒發自已的感情與感動。我們不受人與人之間的拘束，享受自由無羈的生活。
這一句成語的意思是指一個人很自由放縱、這個人不受世俗禮節的束縛。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你比較喜歡與朋友相處還是自已一個人獨處呢?你是否曾經感覺自己的人生被許多無形的枷鎖限制呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
