Confucius said: "Isn't it also true to learn and practice it over time? Isn't it a joy to have friends from afar? If a person doesn't know and is not stunned, isn't he a gentleman? - "Learning· 1》

Translation: Confucius said: “Isn’t it happy to learn it and then practice it at a certain time? Isn’t it happy to have like-minded people coming from far away? People don't understand me, but I don't resent them. Aren't I also a gentleman? ”

Interpretation: This chapter describes the life experience of an ideal scholar. “Learn and practice from time to time” is the beginning of learning, which is a state; “having friends come from afar” is the aftermath of learning. There are two realms; the last realm is not what scholars hope for, but is what is gained through further study and progress. In a people-oriented society, education focuses on the harmonious development of people. The Analects of Confucius regards "knowledge, ability, and virtue" as the construction of harmonious development of people. The three elements are placed at the beginning, which shows the essence of the educational thought of the eternal sage. Society is the society of people; people are the people of society. Only by seeking knowledge can we continue to enrich ourselves. To enrich yourself. To use your knowledge, you need to communicate extensively with people with noble interests, correct yourself in practice, and develop your abilities. But this is just a "person", not a "talent" to truly become a member of society. The talents we need must cultivate virtue. This is the highest level of a harmonious person. Only by possessing the three elements of "knowledge, ability, and virtue" can we meet the standards of cultivating people in Confucius' educational thoughts and conform to Confucius's view of talents. This is also the core of modern society. The standard of talents. As Mao Zedong said: "This is a noble person, a pure person, a person who has escaped from vulgar taste, and a person who is beneficial to the people." "

This is the beginning of "The Analects". It seems that the Master put forward the most basic requirements for the students. It was also the Master who exposed his most basic principles and standards of reading and life to the students: "Study every day and Review often; when a close friend arrives unexpectedly and comes from afar, the joy is indescribable; one of the standards of a gentleman is that you are not upset when others don’t understand you."

Indeed, these three principles are I have personal experience. Let me start with the first point. When revisiting old dreams with learned knowledge, the joy is indeed beyond description and control. For example, the poems and songs recited when I was young remain in a corner of my memory and are gradually diluted by time. Due to some chance, the beautiful words come back to me again. When they are well known in my heart, when they are eloquent in my mouth, I feel more than happy. They are simply the most beautiful memories, tenderness, silent feelings and gratitude for the past days. With these noble friends, my soul is filled with the joy of déjà vu. Every time, I feel the urge and joy to create. What's more, the "Xi" mentioned by the Master includes not only poetry, but also rituals and music. , shooting, imperialism, etc. The six arts that the nobles at that time had to learn! As the old saying goes: "A real man should make achievements." Many of the disciples of Confucius are implementing Confucius' political program. This is similar to "The Analects of Confucius". "Lao Zhuang" is completely different. What's more, "to learn well is to be an official"! The ancients studied with the world in mind, so in this situation, the Master's words will never change.

Second, "One confidant is enough in life" seems to be a cliche, but who can deny that life will eventually become more and more lonely? Individual lives are undoubtedly hurt invisibly by the collision between society and others, even if life is open and free of any ups and downs. , will also be ruthlessly hurt by the unstoppable time. Aging slowly is a cruel thing, and what is even more cruel is that this trend is destined from birth. Therefore, in the field of literature and art, transcending life and death, pursuing. Eternity has become the theme of immortality, such as "Faust", "Kuafu Chasing the Sun", "Jingwei Reclamation" and so on. Since life is like this, there are several works that shock people's hearts. Like-minded friends keep each other warm, but for some reason, these friends can't see each other all the time. How would you feel if you suddenly arrive uninvited?

Third, it would be weird. Article: I often get misunderstood by others. Sometimes people are very estranged, but as long as there is a chance, they will still understand each other. And before understanding, shouldn't it be necessary for others to understand? To achieve your wish, go to him and let him understand. If you are not hurt, forget it. If you are upset, I think it is just a waste of time.
