For an ideal life, millet porridge should be on the breakfast table. The grains of millet are golden. Sip it slowly and accompany it with newly pickled Chinese cabbage. Let the gentle wind, the nourishing rain, the essence of the sun and the spirit of the moon all come into your stomach, giving you a sense of harmony between man and nature and a feeling of intoxication.

For an ideal life, you must have an ideal career at hand. This job may not bring you a lot of money even if you work on it all your life, but you will definitely never grow tired of it throughout your life.

For an ideal life, when you open the door, there should be mountains and waters in sight. There should be trees in front of the window. The trees are big with thick and lush crowns that can block out the sun. Then, sit by the window and listen to the sound of the wind, the rain, the birds, and all the wonderful sounds of nature. Sitting still can be like a state of meditation.

For an ideal life, you should be free from illness and have no worries at heart. Every meal is delicious, and you can fall asleep as soon as you lie down and sleep soundly until dawn. There is nothing more pleasant than this.

Whether you are standing, sitting or lying down, everything is beautiful, and everyone you see is beautiful.

Wang Guowei said that when we observe things from our own perspective, everything takes on our own colors. Yes, an ideal life means that you live a carefree life and also feel that the world is wonderful.

An ideal life must involve self-reflection. Weigh yourself when you have nothing to do. Don't let yourself get too fat. It's not good-looking if you are overweight.

There is another advantage of weighing yourself regularly, which is that you know your own abilities and limitations. In this way, you won't put on airs, won't show off, and will live a low-key and graceful life.

As the saying goes, it's precious to have self-knowledge. It's not easy for people to have this kind of self-reflection. People who don't know their own abilities and limitations often act inappropriately and lose face without realizing it.

For an ideal life, you should have good neighbors. No matter how dilapidated your home is, if you have good neighbors, you will feel comfortable living there. The greatest feature of good neighbors is that they won't disturb you. When you are in trouble, they will show up in front of you and ask if you need any help. One day, when you are about to move away, you may be able to part with the house, but you can't bear to part with the neighbors. Good neighbors are priceless.

An ideal life must be simple. Don't attend boring dinner parties. Even if you drink, only drink with friends you can chat with. When you drink too much, it's just a state of being bold and unrestrained under the influence of alcohol. Don't sit at the same table with people who get angry easily when talking, and don't associate with those who always talk about money. Simplicity means that you no longer play with meaningless people, that you should decline and reject when you should, that you keep subtracting from your life, that you avoid boredom and nonsense.

For an ideal life, love one person until the end of your life. Loving someone wholeheartedly and never leaving or forsaking them is precious. Spending a lifetime with one person by your side is a rare thing. From then on, there will be children in the countryside and the sound of laughter. In one's lifetime, it's easy to love many people, but it's difficult to be devoted to just one person. In a world full of desires, it's easy to be fickle in love, but it's hard to stay on the right track. People who have an ideal life must have an ideal marriage. Those who are promiscuous will easily end up ruining their lives. Such people don't deserve to talk about an ideal life.

An ideal life must have refined interests. Zhang Dai said that people who have no hobbies are not worth making friends with. Hobbies are interests. A person's interests will surely be shown in certain preferences.

Playing the guqin, the erhu or the flute, loving music and being fond of operas, being able to chase stars or being an amateur performer are all interests; painting, writing calligraphy, composing poems, talking about the past and the present are all interests; planting flowers, raising bamboo, building fences and creating handicrafts are all interests; visiting lakes in spring, climbing mountains in autumn, imagining worldly affairs on moonlit nights and reading good books behind closed doors in heavy snow are all interests. People with interests will have a rich life. When people have a rich life, they will find their own lives interesting, and others will also think they are charming.

For an ideal life, there are delicious meals to satisfy your appetite, and there is leisure time to lie down and have a good sleep.

Living in a lively world, although this pursuit may seem a bit vulgar, only in this way can we not let down our hard-working bodies. An ideal life is, of course, on the spiritual level, but if we can't satisfy these simple desires of our bodies, all the pursuits on the spiritual level will become vain. Or rather, if we don't give our bodies this sense of solidity, the so-called richness on the spiritual level will seem particularly pale.

For an ideal life, there should be no unpleasant people around you. After all, in one's lifetime, we will eventually have to deal with other people. Whether they are relatives, friends, colleagues, bosses or even strangers, if there are no unpleasant people among them, this lifetime will be truly ideal.

Of course, such an ideal life may seem a bit unrealistic. But this is the essence of an ideal life. An ideal life doesn't necessarily mean having great power or a high position, nor does it necessarily mean being as rich as a country or making a fortune every day. Instead, it means that you and the people around you get along harmoniously, as if you were in the Land of Peach Blossoms.

In life, what more could one ask for if one can have suitable people to accompany and stay with throughout one's lifetime!
