To sum up briefly, it is "there is a tiger in the heart and a rose in the nose." First of all, in terms of people's characteristics, it is pointed out that people have both masculinity and femininity, telling us that when we look at and evaluate a person, we should have a critical eye and not be rigid.
Secondly, from the law point of view, this sentence also shows a law similar to that pointed out by China's Taoist thought, that is, according to the logic of this sentence, it tells us that strong ambition will also be impressed by delicate gentleness and beauty.
Finally, from the perspective of wisdom, Yan Xiaoer thinks that this sentence is probably telling us that on the one hand, we need to be ambitious, but we must never let "ambition" become the whole of our lives. We must know how to appreciate the beauty in life, so that our life can be relaxed. At the same time, even if there is a tiger in your heart, you should keep the gentleness of "smelling roses". Such people often go further.
1, "There is a tiger in your heart, smell the rose carefully" and its creator wants to deeply understand the connotation of this sentence, which may be more handy in combination with the author's own experience.
It was Sason, a famous British anti-war poet, who wrote the poem "There is a tiger in my heart, but I can smell the roses". He is also a novelist. He can write such a philosophical poem to me, past, present and future, which has a lot to do with his well-educated experience in high society and his being a soldier in World War I.
Because his family enjoys a certain reputation in London, he has been eating, drinking and receiving a good education since he was a child. Graduated from Cambridge University, I have a sense of justice and let nature take its course. He volunteered to join the army and became a soldier. Brave and good at fighting, he has repeatedly made meritorious deeds on the battlefield, and he has won many awards for this.
However, what impressed him most in his experience of joining the army was not the honor he won, but the cruelty on the battlefield. The cruel sight of his comrades who fought side by side on the battlefield was enough to become a nightmare for his life.
Although he was brave and made great contributions, the ruthlessness and cruelty of the war made him decide to quit the army and start thinking about life and things related to life.
After leaving the army, Sason returned to his hometown, expressed his views on life and life in words, and actively conveyed his anti-war thoughts. Some of his works are a bit heavy, because his poems have permeated the fear and desolation from people's hearts that he experienced in the war.
Similarly, the poem "A tiger sniffs a rose in his heart" is popular all over the world because of his love for life, his opposition to war, his own life and his inner thinking and examination. For example, at the end of his poem, he wrote, "Look into my heart, dear friend, you should tremble, because that is the real you." It can also be understood that he can not only find beautiful roses, but also see the other side of human nature that makes him tremble. This is a very profound introspection.
2. The inspiration of "there is a tiger in the heart, smelling roses" comes from human characteristics, laws and wisdom. Of course, everyone's life experience can't be copied, and most of us can't fully understand Sason's mental journey, but from the words he left us, we can explore richer connotations through his life experience and the emotions injected into the words.
As I said at the beginning of this article, "the tiger in my heart smells roses" reveals a characteristic of human nature, that is, human nature is complex, and we must never regard the commonness of one person or each of us as a "black and white" existence.
In other words, a person who is labeled as a "villain" is sometimes kind, whereas a charitable person is sometimes selfish. Not only "good and evil" exist in people at the same time, but also masculinity and femininity. Here, a person with a tiger in his heart will still have the gentleness of smelling roses. We should have this kind of cognitive flexibility and objectivity when dealing with people and getting along with others.
Secondly, "there is a tiger in your heart, but you can smell the roses carefully" does illustrate a rule. In an era when competition is the main theme, the world is striving for greatness and distance. Over time, people forget that the "strength" we pursue is actually the truth hidden in weakness. As Taoist Laozi said, "The world is weaker than water, and the strong are invincible." Because of its elasticity with the circle, water can achieve the effect of "dripping water wears away the stone". Here, even the strongest tiger will be impressed by the beautiful and gentle roses, which is actually a law that is easily forgotten.
Finally talk about the wisdom of life. The tiger's strength and sharpness are too domineering. Even if it is unintentional, it is easy to hurt people and hurt themselves. The "tiger" in your heart is more difficult to grow because it is easily suppressed. Smart and wise people will show their gentle face of "smelling roses" and put their powerful "tiger" in their hearts. Such people can often go further.
3. Thinking: Humanistic philosophy can break the "people's joys and sorrows are not connected". Although writers and poets have nationalities, good ideas have no national boundaries. It is precisely because of this that "there is a tiger in the heart, sniff the roses" is probably a famous saying of China.
Some people say that human emotions are not connected, but Yan Xiaoer thinks this statement is too "absolute" or even "negative". It is true that the "emotions" that highlight the "I" personality may be too private to achieve complete empathy. The idea of weakening individual personality and showing human commonness, or starting from the big group of human beings, can often arouse the resonance of people with different experiences, backgrounds, cultures and even different time and space. This is why "there is a tiger in the heart and a rose in the nose" is popular.
Yan Xiaoer always thinks that to absorb the nutrition of noble philosophy, we need to put aside our prejudices, put ourselves in the situation of sages, and then look at his value judgment from the author's standpoint, so as to further find the merits of philosophy. Isn't this the tiger in the heart and the rose in the nose in the reading of humanistic philosophy? That is, absorb the "fragrance" of roses with a gentle attitude, add wings to the tiger, and use philosophical creativity for your own use. So why not?
