Mr. Lu Xun is a very good example. Mr. Lu Xun was born in a feudal landlord family, but he had great sympathy for the working people when he was a boy, instead of oppressing the people like other rich people. As an adult, he used his pen instead of his gun to deeply expose the ugly face of feudal society.
There is an old saying: Those who are close to vermillion are red, and those who are close to ink are black. This makes people wonder: What kind of people are these people who turn red and black? Will they be high-minded people who are determined to serve the country? ?Will they be people who are ambitious and determined? Or will they be people who stick to their true intentions and are extraordinary? Of course not!
These people with superior qualities must have their own perfection. , a correct outlook on life and world view. They never deviate from the track in doing things, and even if they occasionally get lost, they will quickly return to the right path. Even if they are extreme, it is caused by the intersection and collision of various extreme personalities, which is harmless. The main line of their lives seems to have been determined long ago. , as clear as the lines on the palm of your hand, as long as they clench their fists, the world is within their control.
What they can do is to get out of the mud without being stained, and wash away the pure ripples without being evil. After being washed away by many dirts, it is still like a hibiscus emerging from clear water, naturally removing its ornaments and maintaining its original heart.
I think the process of turning red and black is a process of qualitative change, a turning point in the human journey. , but the rot at the core cannot retain the freshness on the outside, and the result can only be the complete collapse and collapse of the fortress of life!
Such people make people feel sad and regretful. They have no backbone of personality, like Even if the umbrella has taken away the skeleton, it cannot be supported. It is like a top-heavy reed on the wall, with a shallow foundation, like a mountain bamboo shoot with a sharp mouth and a thick skin, but there is no space in the belly! They may have blood in their chests and drive in their bones, but But they don’t know where the direction of life is, so following the crowd becomes a habit, and following others’ opinions becomes a creed. The strokes they may have had on their life drawing board have also become dim, and they only see various colors mixed together, tending to be gray. At this time, , it is possible to turn red or black.
Whether you choose an admirable life or a pitiable life is entirely up to you. The key lies in the choice and persistence of ideals and creeds, so as to grasp your own position and pattern. , making the main colors on the palette of life bright and dazzling.
1. What is close to vermilion may not be red, and what is close to ink may not be black.
The ancients said: what is close to vermilion is red, Those who are close to ink are black. Teachers and parents often use this ancient saying to educate us, but I have questioned it.
Are those who are near vermilion really red, and those who are near ink really black? This may only represent one type of person, that is, someone with particularly poor self-control ability. If a person is really "red when near red, dark when near ink", then I really feel sad for him, because he is such a failure as a human being, he has no brains, no stance, and is easily influenced by others.
“Those who are close to the vermilion are red”, is everyone like this? Let’s take an example from my side. Our school recently expelled several first-grade students, one of whom was my elementary school classmate. It stands to reason that my classmate received a good education in primary school because our school has strict management, the class teacher is a dedicated teacher, and the class style is also very positive. And the middle school we study in now is a first-class school in Chongqing. Here, there is a good learning atmosphere, high-quality teachers, and hardworking classmates, but why doesn't he accept these good influences? He also didn't study well all day long, often got into fights and skipped classes, and was eventually expelled from school. Isn't it "the one who is close to the red is red"?
Is this true for everyone? Let’s take the example of our foreign language school. Among the non-regular classes in the first grade of junior high school, no one entered the top 80 in the entrance examination. Most of the students' grades were not very good. However, in the final examination of the last semester, one student from Class 10 entered the top 80. Top 10 in grade. Logically speaking, the class style of their non-regular classes is not as good as that of regular classes, and their grades are also worse. But why hasn't this student suffered from those negative effects? Isn't it "the one who is close to the ink is black"?
There are many such examples around us. Whether "the one who is close to vermilion is red, and the one who is close to ink is black", in the final analysis, the reason lies in ourselves. Of course, it does not rule out that the environment has a negative impact on us. It will definitely have an impact.
Those who enter the vermilion may not necessarily be red, and those who enter the ink may not necessarily be black.
2. Those who are close to ink are not necessarily black.
There is an old Chinese saying: "Those who are close to vermillion are red, and those who are close to ink are black." It means that the surrounding environment has a great influence on people. .
However, if one is close to vermilion, it must be red, and if one is close to ink, it must be black? I think the influence of Hei is important, but it depends more on the person who is close to Mo. Those who are close to ink are not necessarily black.
(Ask a question)
Marxist dialectical materialism believes that in the change of things, there are two factors, internal and external factors, and external factors can work through internal factors. Similarly, for a person, the "Zhu" or "Mo" around him will of course have a certain influence on him, but as a person who is close to Zhu or Mo, his intelligence, perseverance, and discernment will turn red or black. determinants. If he is confused about right and wrong, he will do what others say and will not analyze and decide by himself, then the person who is close to ink will become black; if he has a clear mind and a firm will, then no matter what kind of ink it is, it will be difficult to make him black. In short, what is close to vermilion may not be red, and what is close to ink may not be black. It depends on what is close. (Be reasonable and analyze problems)
From ancient times to the present, there are people who are black when they are close to ink, and there are also people who are not black when they are close to ink. Li Ling and Su Wu in the Han Dynasty were both Han officials. Faced with the temptation of high-ranking Xiongnu officials and generous salaries, Li Ling wavered and was ultimately ruined. Su Wu was unyielding and would rather live with his hair and drink blood, and swore to the death to disobey others, thus making his reputation eternal. In modern times, Lu Xun, my country's great proletarian writer and revolutionary, was a model who was close to the ink but not black, and emerged from the mud but not stained. These people maintained their firm beliefs, stayed clean in the ink, and did not follow the crowd, thus achieving great things. (Present the facts)
How can we be close to the ink but not black? As long as you have a clear mind and a firm will, you can be close to ink but not dark. Zhou Enlai, Lu Xun and countless other ancestors have set examples for us with their practical actions. I hope each of us can maintain our firm beliefs and never change our colors no matter what the environment. (Conclusion)
Those who are close to Zhu are not necessarily evil: Kuomintang agents
Those who are close to Mo are not necessarily evil: China’s underground party
The above is a joke--- ---------
Go to the topic:
At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, the force to resist the Qing Dynasty failed, the country changed hands, and the mainstay was
Although he could not be like Boyi and Shuqi who did not eat Zhou millet, he did not become a traitor in the end, and inherited the unique learning of the sages. He reflected on the situation in the late Ming Dynasty when "sages were as numerous as dogs and walked on both sides of the street"
Advocating classics Useful for the world...
For example, the academic system did not succeed in terms of force, but it did not
bow down in terms of culture, so there was no real subjugation of the country. This is the real meaning. Anti-Qing Dynasty
Restore Ming Dynasty...
For example:
Wang Chuanshan, brothers Gu Yanwu, Li Erqu, Huang Zongxi, Zhu Shunshui, etc.
Among them, Zhu Shunshui also went to Japan to borrow troops, but every time he succeeded, it led to Confucianism in Japan...
1. A few more words An anecdote, reintroduction to Article 2
Aa year Gengyao’s teacher:
Master said: If you are not angry, you will not be enlightened; On the contrary, it will no longer exist.
Here are the principles of educational methods. The so-called "angry" refers to the feeling of anger. Having to know something you don't know is also a kind of anger mentality. If you tell a student that you can't do something, and after hearing this, he will definitely do it. This will stimulate him and make him angry. "Enlighten" means to inspire. Before inspiring, make him angry first, and then further inspire him. There is a good example of this education method: According to legend, Nian Gengyao, a famous general in the Qing Dynasty, was a son of the Han army who wore a yellow flag. He was very naughty when he was young. His father hired several teachers for him, but he beat them away. Later, no one dared to apply to teach him. Finally, there was a teacher who was a hermit - some said he was Gu Tinglin's brother. Although Gu Tinglin never served as an official in the Qing Dynasty and was engaged in anti-Qing underground activities, for the welfare of his compatriots, he Or ask others to come out and do something - volunteer to teach. Nian Gengyao's father explained his son's naughty nature, and the old man said it didn't matter. The only conditions were a larger garden, no gates, and higher walls. So he started teaching. Nian Gengyao initially wanted to beat the teacher away. Unexpectedly, the old man was very good at martial arts. Nian Gengyao jumped out of the wall, was free for a long time, and then jumped back again. Nian Gengyao had nothing to do with this teacher.
The old man sometimes played the flute. Playing the flute can nourish his energy. Nian Gengyao asked him to learn to play, so he used the flute to nourish his energy, and then he began to teach him slowly. Later, the old gentleman had to leave because he had personal matters of his own. Before leaving, he said that it was a pity that the child's character had not completely changed. Even so, Nian Gengyao was already capable of both civil and military skills, so he later became Pingzang's famous general. From then on, he respected his children's teachers very much, and he was also very strict in choosing teachers. There was a couplet: "Those who disrespect the master will be punished by heaven and earth; those who mislead others will be men who steal and women who are prostitutes." He wrote it and posted it at home. This story can illustrate that the teaching principle of Confucius must first stimulate his mind and make him angry. Only a strong thirst for knowledge can inspire his original wisdom.
2. Kangxi and Li Erqu
At that time, there were too many Chinese intellectuals who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, such as Gu Tinglin, Li Erqu, Wang Chuanshan, and Fu Qingzhu This group of people refused to surrender, especially the ideological and theoretical work they did to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. It was really terrible. The result? Kang Mazi took advantage of the Chinese word "filial piety" and made the seeds of anti-Qing rebellion sprout two hundred years later with a feint. There are three must-read books for Qing soldiers entering the country. Which three books are they? The Manchus studied the art of war from "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", not "The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms". At that time, almost all the princes and ministers read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The second part was not read in public, but in secret - it was "Laozi". At that time, Kangxi had a special edition of "Laozi". It has now been published, and there is nothing special in the annotations. But at that time, every Qing Dynasty Officials must read "Laozi" thoroughly and ponder political philosophy. Another book is "The Classic of Filial Piety". But on the surface, he still respects Kong. At this point, if you read history, you can compare it with the "Government of Wenjing" in the Han Dynasty. The political blueprint of the "Government of Wenjing" can only be explained in eight words in history - "Internally use Huang Lao, externally express Confucianism." In this way, Kangxi advocated filial piety and compiled a book of quotations - "The Holy Edict", which was later called "The Holy Edict" or "The Holy Edict" and promoted it in local political organizations. What organizations existed in local politics in the past? It is an ancestral hall in a patriarchal society. In the ancestral hall there are clan heads and township heads, all of whom are senior, virtuous, knowledgeable, and prestigious in the local area. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, the clan members must be gathered in the ancestral hall to preach the holy edicts. The holy edicts all talk about the principles of life and doing things, applying Confucian ideas, and especially promoting filial piety. Further analysis shows that Kangxi understood the spirit of filial piety and used it in reverse. We must know that Kangxi trained every young man to obey his parents, so which old man or old lady would want his son to commit suicide and rebel? So Kangxi used the reverse side, and he used it very cleverly. This one. Second: Li Erqu, who was in Shaanxi at that time, like Gu Tinglin, was an intellectual who did not surrender. He lectured in Guanzhong, so later Gu Tinglin and his group often went to Shaanxi to organize underground work against the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. . Kangxi knew clearly that he instead recruited Li Erqu to be an official. Of course, Li Erqu would not compose. Later, when Kangxi went to Mount Wutai and inspected Shaanxi, he specially ordered the governor of Shaanxi to express his respect for Mr. Li Erqu as a contemporary great Confucian and a contemporary saint, and he must visit Li Erqu in person. Of course, Li Erqu also knew that this was Kangxi's last move, so Li Erqu claimed to be ill and could not take over. Who knew that Kangxi said it didn't matter, but still went to the neighborhood where Li Erqu was giving lectures, and even said that he would visit Li's family. This time, Li Erqu was forced to do something. If Kangxi came to his home, Li Erqu would just kowtow to him and he would be considered a surrender. This was a matter of national integrity in Chinese culture; so Li Erqu had no choice but to express his illness, so Lying on the bed, I was too "sick" to get up. But when Kangxi arrived near Li Erqu, a large number of officials below the governor of Shaanxi followed the emperor, preparing to see Li Erqu's illness. Kangxi inquired first and said that Li Erqu was really ill. At the same time, Li Erqu had no choice but to send his son to see Kangxi for a perfunctory visit. And Kangxi was very wise and did not go to Li's house reluctantly. Otherwise, he will definitely come to Li's house. If Li Erqu scolds him, he will have to kill Li Erqu. Killing him would arouse the resentment of the nation; not killing him would lose the dignity of the emperor and he would not be able to step down, so he did not go. He comforted Li Erqu's son and asked him to convey his message well, and told the local magistrate to take good care of Li Erqu. He also told them that since he became emperor, he had to return to Beijing to handle government affairs. The local officials could learn from Li Erqu day and night, which was really a blessing. Kangxi's use was to apply the good side of Chinese culture to his power.
But what is really touching is that later generations did not attribute these sins to his power, but instead blamed them on Confucius and Mencius. Therefore, the Confucius family shop was knocked down and Confucius was scolded, which was all unjust.
