1. Heaven and earth have eternity, and this body will no longer be gained; Life is only 100 years, and this day is the easiest to live.

Caigen Tan said: "When you are old, you will be sick when you are in the strong; After decay, iniquity is made in the prime of life. Therefore, the gentleman is especially conscientious. ”
It means that when you are old, you are weak and sick, and you are the root cause of the disease caused by not paying attention to caring for your body when you are young; A person will be riddled with sins after his career is disappointed, and that is the bane of his ambition.
Therefore, a person with advanced cultivation, even if he lives in a happy environment and is at the peak of his career, he must be conscientious, guard against arrogance and be cautious, and lay a good foundation for the future.
When I was young, I knew to indulge my youth, pursue romance, dream of the future, and run a business. But I forgot one important thing, health care. Now, it's too late to regret.
For example, if you don't know how to maintain your hair, you don't wash it several times a year, and when itchy, you use a wooden comb or even a grate to scratch it desperately, and dandruff is flying all over the sky. As a result, they are all gone, and only a few poor ones are left around the back of the head and the top of the brain.
Another example: I don't know how to protect my teeth, and I don't know how to brush my teeth. There are many children in the family, and the adults are busy being advanced producers, so they don't have time to take care of our children.
A mouth, a mouthful of teeth that are messy and messy. Nowadays, it hurts at every turn, and when the pain is exciting, it falls off, and there are not a few left.
I heard the old man often say: "When you are young, you will be sick, and when you are old, you will come to the door." ”

Those who chew the roots, that is, the roots of green vegetables, such as ginger, garlic, mustard gnocchi, etc., chew the roots, that is, they can endure hardships and hardships, and only then can they do great things.
Hong Yingming used it as the title of the book, and its implication is that there is an infinite true taste in the light and boring vegetable roots, and "Caigen Tan" is an indispensable spiritual food for self-cultivation in the world.
The name of "Caigen" in Caigen Tan is said to come from the famous saying of the great Confucian Wang Xinmin in the Song Dynasty - "People often bite the root of the vegetable crack, then Pepsi can be done", which highly summarizes the book in simple words, and the truth of doing things.
But a more accurate record is that when Hong Yingming wrote "Caigen Tan", he lived a difficult life, and used Caigen pickles to live, and he had a soft spot for Caigen pickles, which gave rise to the title of "Caigen Tan". After the Ming Dynasty, the folk vegetable root pickle handicraftsmen, grateful to Hong Yingming for the promotion of vegetable root culture, all respectfully called Hong Yingming the ancestor of Chinese vegetable root pickles.
400 years later, there is a brand in Shandong "porridge perfect match", according to this history, created a new category of pickles - "Hong Yingming vegetable root", the target is Wujiang's Fuling mustard, which has such a saying: there is Fuling mustard in the south, and there is Hong Yingming in the north.
Hong Yingming never imagined that 400 years later, his descendants would reproduce the life scene of him eating cabbage and pickles and reading "Caigen Tan".
The ever-changing characteristics of Chinese culture, combined with the environment at that time, will create new genes and new literary fiction. This is a typical example.

Hong Yingming, the author of "Caigen Tan", is honest and honest, and he lives in the Wanli period of Mingshenzong. A native of Xindu (now Xindu County), Sichuan, he later went to Nanjing to seek employment and lived in Nanjing. Ming Dynasty thinkers, scholars, and Taoist priests, there are four volumes of "The Miracle of the Immortal Buddha".
Around the 30th year of Wanli (1603), he once lived in the area of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, and devoted himself to writing. "Caigen Tan" was written in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, which has a history of nearly 400 years.
In addition to writing, Hong Yingming planted vegetables and must have thick roots, and Hong Yingming believed that only when the roots grew thick could vegetables have a taste. Others usually throw away the roots when they eat vegetables, but Hong Yingming especially likes to use the roots to pickle pickles and eat them with porridge.
One day, a friend Yu Kong Jian (a member of the Donglin Party of the Ming Dynasty) visited Hong Yingming at his home. Hong Yingming treated each other with cabbage root pickles and rice porridge, and after tasting it in Kongjian, he patted the table and applauded. Hong Yingming's pickles pickled with cabbage roots are black and bright in color, salty and crisp, without the bitterness of cabbage, compared with ordinary pickles, cabbage roots have a different taste.
Rice porridge with vegetable root is a delicacy in the world.
Yu Kong also asked the truth, Hong Yingming said: The root tastes bitter, and ordinary people try it a little and throw it away. The reason why my roots are delicious is because I know that they are delicious.
I first salted the roots and fermented them for a year to remove the bitterness and bring out the aroma of the roots. Then use water to remove the salt from the roots, and dry them in the sun for three days to make the roots more chewy. Finally, the root is served with peppercorns and other spices, and marinated for another seven days before it can be served on the table.
Yu Kongjian not only said: "The sex is set and the root is fragrant." Vegetables are simply discarded, and the fragrance of vegetable roots, only people with a calm heart can understand the true taste of it. Only an indifferent person like Hong Yingming can make the discarded vegetable root so delicious.
In the old preface of "Caigen Tan", it is said that the book is named after Caigen, which is exactly this truth: "In the name of Caigen, it comes from the hard work and training, and it is also obtained from cultivation and irrigation. ”
Feng Mengzhen said in the "Silent Light Mirror Introduction" in "The Strange Trace of the Immortal Buddha": "Hong Sheng is from the Cheng family, the young admires the flowers, and the late Zen is lonely", from the early years of his enthusiasm for world affairs, to the later return to the heart of the Immortal Buddha, it can be seen that the author has experienced many sorrows, and the ups and downs he has experienced are indescribable.
A Song Confucian once said: "If you chew the roots, you can do everything." After tasting the five flavors of life, Hong Yingming understands this principle, he has coarse tea and light rice, practices the life of vegetable roots, adheres to ideals, and is willing to be indifferent. After going through hardships and hardships, he finally completed Caigen Tan, a work that has a wide influence in the Chinese cultural circle.
The title of Caigen Tan is derived from this.
