The fortune teller said that I am a person with six clean _ six clean. Do you have magical powers?
What exactly does "worldly desires" mean?
What are the seven emotions? Book of rites? 6? 1 Liu Yun said: "Happiness, anger, sadness, fear, love, evil and desire can all be learned." It can be seen that emotion is an emotional expression or psychological activity of emotion, and desire is one of the seven emotions.
Strangely, the "seven emotions" of Buddhism are almost the same as those of Confucianism. They all refer to the seven emotions of "happiness, anger, worry, fear, love, hate and desire" and put desire at the end of the seven emotions. The theory of traditional Chinese medicine has changed slightly. Seven emotions refer to seven emotions: joy, anger, worry, thinking, sadness, fear and surprise. Excessive excitement of these seven emotions may lead to imbalance of yin and yang and stagnation of qi and blood, which may lead to various diseases. It is thought-provoking that "desire" is not included in the seven emotions of traditional Chinese medicine.
So, what are the six desires? "Lu Chunqiu? 6? 1 Guisheng first put forward the concept of six desires: "The so-called whole-life person has all six desires. "So what exactly are the six desires? Gao You, a philosopher in the Eastern Han Dynasty, commented on this: "Six desires, life, death, ears, eyes, mouth and nose. "Visible, six desires refers to people's physiological needs or desires.
People should live, be afraid of death, and live with flavor and color, so they should eat with their mouths, taste with their tongues, see with their eyes, hear with their ears and smell with their noses. These desires are innate and can be learned without teaching. Later, some people summarized this as "seeing desire, listening desire, fragrant desire, taste desire, touching desire and desire".
However, the Buddhist theory of great wisdom is far from it. It holds that the six desires refer to lust, appearance, dignity and posture, speech and sound, fluency and human desire. Basically, the six desires are defined as the six natural desires of laymen for the opposite sex, which is what modern people often say.
Modern people seem to prefer to refer to "secular desires" in general, without distinguishing them specifically. There is a popular song called "secular desire". I can't remember the lyrics clearly, but a few words are very impressive. They said, "I'm drunk, but it hurts more when I'm awake." "I don't want you to stop crying when I spend a period of time with you suffering from worldly desires/I don't want you to stop/worldly desires are overturned/laughing and crying, thinking about your appearance ..." Although the singer in "Secular Desire" didn't make it clear, he actually became a modern youth.
Speaking of which, love and desire seem to have been unified. In other words, love and desire are inseparable. Where can there be desire without love? Where can I get love without wanting or asking? No love, no desire, six clean, four empty, no fireworks, no affection, no joys and sorrows. Such people are either nuns, monks, immortals or ghosts.
From this point of view, secular desire is the basic physiological requirement and psychological motivation of human beings, the foundation of human nature, everyone's nature and the most basic color of human life. But people are different, and the manifestations of secular desires are varied. As the saying goes, everyone has worldly desires, and there are great differences. Because of this, how to express people's secular desires has become an inexhaustible source of literary and artistic creation and a colorful topic.
However, emotion is not equal to desire after all. In the concept of modern China people, emotion and desire are not exactly the same thing. Desire mainly refers to the needs of human survival and enjoyment, and belongs to the category of physiological activities. There is a proverb that love is too sad and desire is too strong to hurt the body, which shows that love and desire belong to two closely related but different fields: mind and body.
Secondly, emotion and desire interact and complement each other, emotion can give birth to desire, and desire can also give birth to emotion; The satisfaction of desire requires emotional input, and emotional pleasure also depends on the satisfaction of desire. However, if you have to put your feelings and desires in order, you might as well have a debate. I'm afraid both sides can make sense, and the discussion will be as lively and interesting as chicken or egg. Ask young men and women in love. Although they are there, it is hard to say what is the relationship between love and desire. If a literary work is heartless, it is probably not a literary work, but if we want to find the answer from a literary work, it may be even more confusing.
However, scientists have made it clear. In the world we live in, everything can be divided into three categories: minerals, plants and animals. Minerals are lifeless; Plants have life but no desire, only accept without feeling; Animals have life and desire, and they know how to feel.
People are animals, of course, have a basic desire for survival, so Mencius said: "People are different from animals." But after all, man is not an animal, but a more advanced animal, the "spirit of all things", and of course much more advanced than the desire of animals. That is to say, human beings can not only receive and feel information, but also be moved, excited and impulsive by giving and receiving information, and control or deal with it rationally, so as to develop the desire of animals to the height of emotion and rationality, while the desire and feeling of ordinary animals only stay at the instinctive level.
In a sense, literature and art are the art of expressing secular desires. There is an important sign that a literary work is exquisite, elegant and popular, that is, the degree or height to which emotion and reason adapt to the times when the work expresses secular desires.
