When I was depressed when I failed in the exam, Mencius' famous saying flashed in front of my eyes: "So, if the sky is going to fall for the Sri Lankan people, first suffer their minds, their bones and muscles, their physique and their actions." It made me understand that failure is not terrible, as long as you go forward bravely, you will eventually win. Classic again, cheer me up!
When arguing with friends, I heard Confucius' teaching: "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." It made me realize that only by allowing different voices to exist and pushing others, can we gain friendship. It is the classics that make me happy again!
When I lost the election, I felt pessimistic and depressed. Wang Bo is "old and strong, rather moving the heart of hoary head; The brave words of "Be poor and strong, and stay in the blue sky" inspire me, and it makes me understand that temporary setbacks can't stop my progress. It is the classics that make me strong.
In youth, we begin to plan our life, and classics are our spiritual teachers; In youth, we begin to enrich our emotions, and classics are our spiritual friends.
Among the pre-Qin philosophers, Confucius taught me a kind heart, and harmony is precious; Mencius asked me to cultivate my morality and put my family in order to rule the country and level the world; Mozi made me spray blood to help suffering; Han Fei let me see a pair of cold eyes and face life directly; Laozi let me know the artistic outlook on life for the first time; Xunzi made me read about scientific career.
With these mentors, youth is no longer confused.
There are not only the Golden House and Yan Ruyu in the book, but also a deep and quiet world. With the company of books, we can stand on the "shoulders of giants" and look at the peak of our thoughts. The Analects of Confucius gave me etiquette and philosophy of life; "Zhuangzi" let me wander around the world and be at ease; "The Book of Songs" makes me emotional and refined, and my thoughts are innocent; Historical records have taught me the rise and fall of honor and disgrace, the change of dynasties ... every book embodies the wisdom of mankind, carries the fruits of civilization and conveys the fuel of culture.
Li Qingzhao deserves special mention here. She was born in an official family, and the capital of scholarly family made her read many poems and books. Startled up a pool of gulls and herons, the young woman's "people are thinner than yellow flowers" made her unique like plum blossoms and stood proudly in that special era. Like plum blossoms, her elegance only shines when it is cold. Worrying about the country and the people, "How can I get a word of sorrow" and "Live as a hero and die as a ghost" are all created by a weak woman, and the peerless elegance of plum blossom is self-evident. Li Qingzhao was very lucky, because of the tolerance of her family and husband, she had the freedom that many women didn't have at that time-reading. Years of accumulation have given birth to amazing talents. In the stormy time, she finally left her name in history and recorded her peerless elegance in black and white.
