A Leisurely Cloud Floating in the Sky and a
Wild Crane Flying Through the Heavens(閒雲野鶴)
During China's Yuan dynasty, there was a
famous Taoist priest named Feng Zunshi.
He was a master poet with a profound
insight into life. His poems contain profound mystical principles and
transcendental artistic concepts. The gist of the first half of one of his
poems is as follows:
In what felt like eternal silence, and
without any external help, I suddenly grasped the truth about why we live.
From that day on, I began to wander,
travelling to various places with a certain degree of ignorance and
spontaneity.
I felt like a leisurely cloud floating in
the sky or a wild crane soaring through the air. I lived a life of complete
freedom, as if time had lost its grip on me.
I relished the touch of moonlight and
gentle breezes, feeling completely relaxed and content. When I'm in a good mood,
I sing; when I'm tired, I lie down to rest. My actions were completely
autonomous and in accordance with my own will.
Sometimes I think back on my past life,
remembering the paths I've travelled and the things I once cared about.
Everything that once disturbed my mood now
seems like withered flowers and drifting catkins, never to return.
Everything that once disturbed my mood has
quietly dissipated, like distant flowing water and mist.
Only peace remains within me now.
This idiom literally means 'a leisurely
cloud floating in the sky' or 'a wild crane soaring in the air'.
Nowadays, this idiom is often used to
describe a very free person: someone who is completely unconstrained; someone
who comes and goes as they please; someone who is unfettered by human
relationships and worldly concerns.
Dear friends, what feelings or thoughts arise in you after listening to this poem?
Have you ever felt the urge to
wander? Have you ever travelled without a plan or a specific destination?
I hope this poem inspires you to discover
something new.
閒雲野鶴(A Leisurely Cloud Floating in the Sky
and a Wild Crane Flying Through the Heavens)
中國的元王朝時代有一個著名的道士，他的名字叫做馮尊師。
他很擅長寫詩，他對於生命有著透徹的洞察力，他寫的詩中蘊含著精妙的玄理與超脫塵世的意境，他留下了好幾首詩，其中有一首詩的上半段的大意如下。
在宛如永恆般的寂靜中，我在完全沒有借助任何外在的力量的情況下，我突然間想通了關於我們為何活著的人生道理。
從那一天起，我就開始四處漫遊，我帶著幾分的懵懂與隨興到各地去旅行。
我覺得我浮在天上的一朵悠閒的雲與飛在天空中的一隻野生的鶴一樣，我生活的非常自由，時間失去了對我的掌控力。
我享受在月光下與在微風中的感動，我感覺非常的輕鬆快活。
當我心情好時我就放聲歌唱，當我感覺累了我就躺下休息，我的行動完全自主，我的行動完全順從自己的心意。
我有時會回想起我過去的人生，我看到自己曾經走過的那些路與曾經在意的那些事。
那些曾經擾亂我的心情的一切，如今看來就像是凋落的花與飄飛的柳絮無法再次出現。
那些曾經擾亂我的心情的一切就像是如同遠方的流水和薄霧一樣，輕輕地靜靜地消散了。
我的內心目前只留下一片寧靜。
這句成語的直接翻譯的意思是浮在天上的一朵悠閒的雲與飛在天空中的一隻野生的鶴。
這句成語現在通常被用來形容一個非常自由的人，這個人完全不受到任何的拘束，這個人想來就來想走就走，這個人不受到人情與俗世的牽絆。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這首詩有怎樣的感受或有怎樣的想法呢。
你曾經有過流浪得念頭嗎?你曾經嘗試過一種毫無規劃且沒有主要的目的地的旅行方式嗎?
我希望這首詩能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
