The highest state of life is: Buddha is the heart, Tao is the bone, Confucianism is the table, and the world is open; Skills in hand, you can be in it, thinking in your head, and live calmly. Reading history for three thousand years is nothing more than fame and fortune; Nine, Wan Li's enlightenment ends in poetry, wine and countryside.
2. Confucianism is a grain store, Taoism is a drugstore and Buddhism is a department store.
The cultural history of China before Qin and Han Dynasties was dominated by Confucianism, Mohism and Taoism. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism appeared.
China's cultural thought has been shrouded in these three schools until the early Republic of China. The May 4th Movement took place. At that time, I wanted to "overthrow Kongjiadian". There was a ripple in the mainstream of China culture, which changed and influenced for decades.
Buddhism is like a department store. If you have money and leisure, you can go shopping or not, but society needs it. Taoism is like a drugstore, which contains the thoughts of military strategists and strategists, as well as astronomy, geography and medicine. A country or a nation must go to this drugstore when they are sick. Confucius and Mencius thought that Confucianism was a grain depot and should be eaten every day. To deeply understand the evolution of China's cultural history and what to do in the future, we must study the Four Books.
3. Chinese characters are the soul of China culture.
Our ancestors knew that language had changed in 30 years, so they separated language from Chinese and turned it into an independent writing. Therefore, the 5,000-year-old culture of China has been preserved in ancient Chinese. After two years of hard work, as long as you learn Chinese characters, you can understand them for five thousand years.
There are about 50,000 China characters in Kangxi Dictionary. A China person, if you recognize 2500, oh! This knowledge is great! Professor Guo Wen still refuses to recognize 1500.
