Does man's nobility lie in his soul?
Lesson 15 of Chinese, the experimental textbook of compulsory education curriculum standard, is an article by contemporary writer Zhou, The nobility of man lies in the soul. There is confusion when guiding students to learn this text. After class, the confusion has not been eliminated. Now I will bring up the confusion in the course of the lecture and discuss it with you.

The article wrote: "As a physical person, there is no distinction between high and low. Just as a soul, due to the huge differences in the inner world, talents can be divided into noble and mediocre, even noble and despicable. "

As we know, Modern Chinese Dictionary has three explanations for aristocrats: ① people with high moral level, ② people with great value, and ③ people with special status and superior life. It can be seen that nobility is a manifestation of a phenomenon and a sense of identity that is respected in the heart. Because everyone has different life experiences, social status, outlook on life, values and many other factors, people have different standards for identifying "noble". But in any case, people's recognition of "nobility" is often accompanied by material conditions and social influence.

For example, as the saying goes, "the emperor's daughter is not worried about marriage" is people's recognition of the "noble" of the emperor's daughter. Another example is Sima Qian, who persisted in completing the historical work Historical Records after suffering humiliating castration. Without the social influence of Historical Records, I'm afraid people will only think that Sima Qian is a stubborn and resolute man and a noble man.

The emperor's daughter is born nobler than the poor's daughter. Why do newborn babies see so different souls? If Sima Qian has a noble soul, he pursues a noble career and achieves a noble life. Then who can say that Zhang, Li Zicheng and Shi Dakai have low souls and pursue low careers? It seems that only Zhang, Li Zicheng and Shi Dakai didn't have a happy ending and brought greater social influence, so people don't agree that they are aristocrats. In fact, they care about the country, care about the people, and hope that the country will be rich and strong and follow the historical trend. Who can say such a soul is not noble?

Chairman Liu Shaoqi, the famous founding leader, shook hands with dung rakers and left a famous saying: There is no distinction between high and low work, and all work is for the people. This sentence became a beautiful talk of the whole country and even the whole world at that time. This shows how noble his soul is. However, during the "Cultural Revolution", Liu Shaoqi was labeled as a traitor, spy and scab, and people all over the country wanted to put him in "eighteen levels of hell" and told him to "never turn over". The chairman of the open, in this way, was killed in a reform-through-labour farm. It was not until Deng Xiaoping took charge of the state power that Liu Shaoqi was rehabilitated and became a "noble" again. If a person's nobility lies in his soul, then I want to ask: Is the change of "noble-lowly-noble" like Liu Shaoqi because his soul is changing?

Therefore, whether a person is noble or not is not determined by the soul.
