immortality, nor am I like a monk who stays away from the busy city.
I don't want to be busy making money every
day like a businessman, and I don't want to work hard like a farmer ploughing
the fields.
I painted some pictures in my spare time
and when I needed money I sold some pictures to support myself
Although I am not financially rich, I will
not use unfair means to get money.
Because he is a famous person and his
paintings are very good, many people rush to buy his paintings.
The selling price of his paintings became

喜怒哀樂(Joy, anger, sadness and happiness.)
中國的明王朝有一個著名的小說家與劇作家，他的名字叫做(馮夢龍)。
他寫過一本短篇故事集。
其中有一個故事是他以明王朝一個非常著名的名人為主角所創造的一個虛構的故事。
這個名人的名字叫做唐寅。長大後他的朋友都稱呼他為(唐伯虎)。
他非常的聰明，他的學識很豐富。
他會寫詩也會寫文章，他擅長畫畫而且在音樂上也很有高的造詣。
他的性格豪放而且不受拘束，他為自己的才能感到驕傲。
他因為捲入一場考試舞弊的案件中，所以他被永久剝奪了參加第二級國家考試的資格。
因為這個事件，他受了非常大的打擊。
他回到他的故鄉後，他的行為變得愈來愈放縱，他更加不在乎別人的看法，他每天喝酒。
他利用閒暇寫詩與畫畫。
他把他人生中所感受到的歡喜、憤怒、悲哀與快樂都投射在他的畫作與詩詞之中。
他寫過一首詩，這首詩可以很清楚地看到他當時的生活。
這首詩的內容如下。
我不像一個道士想要追求長生不死，我也不像一個和尚遠離熱鬧的城市。
我不願意像一個商人每天忙著賺錢，我也不願意像一個農夫一樣辛苦的耕田。
我利用空閒的時間畫了一些畫，當我需要用錢的時候我就賣幾幅畫來維持我的生活。
我雖然經濟不富裕但我不會用不正當的方式去獲得金錢。
因為他是一個名人而且他的畫畫得很好，因此他的畫有很多人搶著購買。
因為有很多人競價購買他的畫所以他的畫的售價變得非常高。
這句成語直接翻譯的意思是歡喜、憤怒、悲哀與快樂。
這句成語被用來形容一個人的各種情緒。
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。
你買過最貴的藝術品是那一件呢?你是否會羨慕那些藝術家的生活方式呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
