After thinking for a long time and considering my own state of mind, I have decided to officially name my blog. Previously, it was called "Zishu's Blog," which was just my name and felt somewhat lacking in meaning. So now I have decided to rename it to "Why Not Have Tea." Let me explain the meaning behind it...
I started getting into music in middle school. At that time, I enjoyed singing and listened to a lot of popular songs. The most popular ones at that time were songs by Jay Chou and other singers like JJ Lin.
Then, when I entered high school, to be precise, it was in the third year of middle school, I started listening to songs by Xu Song. The first album I listened to was "Customize," and I listened to it every day. It had a very melodic rhythm. I even bought an mp4 player with a small screen and downloaded Xu Song's songs. I would often listen to them on my way to and from school, and even while doing homework during evening self-study sessions.
In 2014, Xu Song officially released his new album "Why Not Have Tea." When I heard the songs in this album, I instantly fell in love with them and became a devoted fan of Xu Song.
There is a saying that I think describes it perfectly: Xu Song wants to convey a calm attitude through his album, that in this vast world, there are many things that are hard to understand, hearts that are hard to guess, and people that are hard to see through. Instead of thinking, guessing, and observing, it's better to enjoy a carefree life, like having tea in a beautiful landscape.
At that time, I was still young and simply enjoyed the melodies and lyrics. Now, looking back, and carefully pondering the words, I suddenly feel a new change. This world is constantly changing, as Luo Xiang, a teacher, said, the only thing that doesn't change in this world is change itself.
Society is full of chaos, and there are many distractions in the mind, giving rise to many desires. But I also know very clearly that some things and desires are merely driven by the social atmosphere, and I don't need them. I want to live my own life well and not be disturbed by external things. "Do not rejoice in what pleases you, do not grieve in what displeases you."
Why not have tea? I also hope that my state of mind can be like this phrase, settling down and not thinking too much about distant things, focusing on the present and grasping the beauty around me.
