"Silence is golden" is an old saying often quoted by intellectuals since ancient times. In fact, the reason why the ancients obeyed "silence is golden" was mainly because of the authoritarian regime and extended family system at that time. However, in the modern age of 2 1 century, the social environment has undergone tremendous changes. We still believe that we should re-examine the old adage "Silence is golden". Ancient philosophers seem to prefer silence to chatter, so they say that "silence is golden" and "talking too much will suffer"; It is contemptuous to say that a person is "eloquent" or "boastful". So we have the impression that "a gentleman speaks, a villain speaks". It is not difficult to imagine that if a person practices as a gentleman, he will really "cherish words like gold" and his words will be eloquent and forceful. Relatively speaking, that is "silence is golden" until the feudal society in the late Qing Dynasty, "silence is golden" was a wise saying followed by the upper class and the literati class. It seems that its establishment has little to do with "cherishing words like gold", but aims at "right and wrong only come from many words" However, why does talking too much cause right and wrong? Obviously, it is the product of the authority of the autocratic emperor; People have no freedom to speak under high pressure. If they talk too much, they will be easily accused, offended by authority and even killed. Therefore, "silence" can protect family and life, which becomes very valuable and is called "silence is golden". As for the general society, because China has been a big family system since ancient times, the opposition and friction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the frequent shuttle between three aunts and six grandmothers, gossip can easily spread within the big family, even between the outside and ordinary people, causing various family and social problems. Therefore, from the perspective of social harmony, "silence is golden" is also necessary. However, in today's free and democratic society, there is no such authority as an autocratic emperor, and freedom of speech is a natural civil right. Everyone is protected by law and will not be threatened by "fatal disaster" at any time. In addition, at present, the small family system is popular in society, and the problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has faded, and three aunts and six wives rarely appear. Then, from the upper class to the general society, does "silence is golden" still hold? Of course, if we look at the whole social change, in modern times, "silence is golden" is at least not the golden rule. However, if "chatter" is regarded as an unwelcome bad habit; In particular, some people's congresses often speak on occasions of creating momentum and holding meetings, which is a great burden to the audience attending the meeting. From this point of view, moderate silence still has its value, but if we still say that "silence is golden", it is somewhat exaggerated.

Everyone was silent.

There are d people in the mouth.
