Pleasure during degradation

"帝怒將抵以死, 大臣皆為愈言, 乃貶潮州刺史。"
韓愈不忘欣賞大自然的妙趣而說: 人生如此自可樂 豈必侷促為人几鞿 !
In ancient China, officials in the central government were often degraded by an emperor's emotional decision and shunted to the office in a remote place. Han Yu was one of them. But he never forgot to enjoy the beauty of nature. He made a poem saying human beings should enjoy his life, no need to be with feelings of gloom.

  1. Not the way I take pleasure. But to each his own. Maybe he is on a higher plane than I am.

  2. Han Yu sounds like a wonderful inspiration. Nature really is wonderful and important. I've been working a lot indoors, but today I took the time to sit outside and eat lunch. It was very peaceful.

    Han Yu was a speculator. He made many excellent poems which have been read until today.

    It really makes us happy to have lunch outside on a fine day.

  5. I do like camping a lot. I grew up in the country and I think that is where I first fell in love with nature.
