How to Become a "Philosopher King" Guide

What strikes me most in the film is the way they live and express themselves. A hippie couple lives in the mountains with their children. They hunted early in the morning, trained in the rain, acted in groups, played guitar online around campfires, sang and read poetry, read humanities ("Gun, Germs and Steel," etc.), gave string theory reports, and discussed politics. Every once in a while, I go back to the city to purchase supplies. Once, a Buddhist believer’s mother committed suicide due to depression. The story begins with the fulfillment of her mother’s last wish (cremation, sprinkled ashes all over the nature, and one place flushed into the sewer). What is a good expression? Seeing the beautiful scenery, ordinary people will say that it is beautiful, and poets can write poems - the sunset and the lonely bird fly together, and the autumn water is the same color. Use adjectives (so beautiful), but explain where the beauty is, and describe your feelings (what is the matter, can't be replaced by concepts) accurately. This is more rational thinking, with a scientific spirit of seeking the bottom line. Chinese poets are good at creating artistic conceptions. The sunset and the lonely bird fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky. When reading good words, it is like being in the scene and feeling the same.
