In the long river of history, will there be ripples in the life agitation hidden in the words, and will there be a similar soul staring at one end?

Dong Zhongshu's Spring and Autumn Stories: "Poetry has no intention, but writing has no intention." There is little difference in meaning between the two. The former means that the Book of Songs has no accessible or unchangeable explanation, and people in different times have differences. The metaphor of "no written explanation" is enough. Much like the book of changes, "different people have different opinions", everyone has different opinions because of the different direction and angle of standing.

There is also a famous saying of Shakespeare in the west, "A thousand people have a thousand Hamlets in their eyes". Since everyone has his own opinion, he should read a classic. For example, when we read China's traditional classics, we will find these works obscure. Why? How?

Influenced by the language age, readers' knowledge of classical Chinese is weak or their common sense of ancient culture is not enough, so they can't break sentences well. This is called "sentence breaking". In the case of insufficient sentence breaks, cultural common sense is not enough, and readers are unwilling to consult materials, so it is easy to misunderstand classics. Of course, there are very few "classics" without broken sentences, and they generally sell classics with clear broken sentences and certain explanations.

I encourage you to see the "real" classics. There are few classics with explanations or original texts, which are well worth studying again and again. For example, there is a saying in the Analects of Confucius that a gentleman is not a tool, which translates on the Internet as a gentleman who cares about the world and allows himself to be literate and armed, but he cannot be a rigid person like a tool and is limited to one function. The "gentleman" here is a person who conforms to his "Tao" proposed by Confucius. Confucius was really a great educator. The "gentleman" here is quoted to the general public. Children's education, self-improvement, career development and sideline cultivation are not confined to one place, but involve a wide range of fields.

Before reading the classics, we can collect information, understand the author's historical background at that time, understand his thoughts and value pursuit, look at his actions from different angles, and try to resonate with the author emotionally. For example, a classic novel often represents the values of a group of people in an era because of the author's point of view, but that's all. It is actually enough to learn from past experience and apply it to the present.

It is also important to study the author's politics, economy, culture, life, thoughts, relatives and friends in a specific era. Classics themselves are rich and uncertain, and the content and depth will definitely bring some difficulties to readers' interpretation. Because of this, many people read the interpretation version first, and it is difficult to jump out of the circle after preconceptions. The interpretation of the senior teacher is just one of Hamlet.

China's 5,000-year-old profound heritage and rich literary works are the cultural core of his native nation. Inheritors need to inherit and innovate, and stand on the shoulders of predecessors to interpret from a new angle, which is a new look. Poetry and wine years, the rest of my life is slow.
