I have read "Journey to the West" many times since I was a child. When I read it for the first time, I felt like it was pure and delicious. I like Sun Wukong the most in "Journey to the West". I like his kindness, mischief, cleverness, boundless power, forthrightness when speaking to the gods, and how he fights monsters. His persistence (especially during the fight against the White Bone Demon three times) and his friendship with his brother, master, and monkey grandson. Among the four masters and disciples of Tang Seng, Sun Wukong is often the first to discover monsters, but his master Tang Seng is always easily deceived by monsters pretending to be good people, and recites a tight curse to punish Wukong who kills the monsters, even ignoring his Explain driving him away. Although Wukong was unwilling, he still listened to his master and did not follow him shamelessly. But when Bajie came to him for help again, as soon as he heard that his master was in trouble, he ran to save his master without any regrets and no regrets. Although he is naturally impulsive and has a hot temper, and sometimes kills people on impulse, but in my opinion, those people all deserve what they deserve. They are all robbers, tyrants, etc. who have killed countless people. But Tang Seng, who believes in Buddhism, But I don’t believe it. He doesn’t let Wukong kill people no matter what, but he doesn’t care about those evil people who harm others. I always feel that Wukong is wronged. Among the four masters and disciples, Tang Seng is the one who is more difficult for me to understand. He is always captured by monsters. Among the four masters and disciples, he always brings trouble. He has no ability. He only knows how to recite Namo Amitabha and sometimes causes trouble. If it weren't for Wukong, I think he must have gone to another Western Heaven. He is a kind and helpful master who cannot distinguish between humans and monsters. When he sees monsters harming people, he always asks Wukong and three others to catch the monsters. But when Wukong killed those people who harmed the common people, he was shocked. Not only did he recite the curse, but sometimes he even wanted to drive him away. Wouldn't he think about it for a moment, if Wukong didn't kill those people who harmed people? They will harm others again. In this way, wouldn't they harm more lives for the sake of one life? However, Tang Seng also has extraordinary perseverance. In order to reach the Western Heaven and obtain the scriptures to benefit the people, he not only did not want to reach the Western Heaven quickly without letting Wukong fly to get it by himself, he even required himself to be down-to-earth every step of the way and never let it go. Goku helps him fly through. Tang Seng met many people along the way who tried hard to keep him, either kindly or maliciously, and even offered him gold and silver, or even the entire country, but he refused. I think this is because he always insisted on obtaining the true scripture. . Zhu Bajie is a lazy and greedy big fat pig. Sometimes Wukong asks him to find some fruit for his master to eat, but he either lies down and falls asleep on the road, or picks a lot of fruit but eats them all on the way back. He often made the other three people wait for him on the spot, and when he came back, they would just find an excuse and tell a lie to get over it, but they were always seen through by the clever Wukong, and they were punished miserably. I think Bajie always thinks about this and that when he is on the way to seek scriptures, instead of focusing on the Buddha. He hides a little money here and a treasure there, and he always thinks about Gao Laozhuang's wife and Chang'e, the master. When he was caught, he often said depressing words such as: "Let's pack up and disperse", "I'm going back to Gaolaozhuang". He also has a bad habit of always bragging. Sometimes, when Wukong defeated the monster, he would brag vividly to others about how he defeated the monster. However, he sometimes plays a role. For example, when the master was caught by the White Bone Demon, he came to Huaguo Mountain and thought of a way to invite Brother Monkey out, and finally rescued the master. So I think Bajie is quite cute. Although he is a little crooked from time to time, he also has sparks of wisdom. Monk Sha is the most honest of the three apprentices. He is always loyal to his master and respectful to his two senior brothers. But he is merciless when fighting monsters. Although he is not as powerful as Wukong, he can still protect his master at critical moments. Moreover, among the four masters and disciples, he is the most alert person except Wukong, and he can also remind the master. Although "Journey to the West" is very old, I believe its charm will last forever, because the four masters and apprentices have their own merits and are very attractive.

The Analects of Confucius reading notes:

/blog/u/yuand/archives/2007/300.html

Confucius did not object to his students seeking official positions , in the Analects of Confucius there are also the concepts of "applying what you have learned" and "learning well and becoming an official". Confucius has always advocated actively joining the world, becoming an official, and participating in political affairs. In the article "He Diao Father-in-law", he even expressed the thought of "doing something when you know it is impossible to do". The learning advocated by Confucius is used to "cultivate oneself, regulate one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world."

Zizhang asked his teacher for advice on how to become an official and how to get a salary. If we use modern concepts to analyze it, from a superficial perspective, it is asking a teacher for advice on how to get a good career; from a deeper perspective, it is how to get promoted and make a fortune. Of course, how to allocate and use the money after being promoted is another matter.

"Being an official and not making decisions for the people is worse than going home and planting sweet potatoes..."

The method Confucius taught students is: listen more, see more, experience more, speak carefully, act carefully, and have reservations. The so-called "If you listen to one side, you will be dark; if you believe both, you will be enlightened." "Don't say one more word easily, take one more step easily." (Of course, this is different from Lin Daiyu's life perception of being dependent on others.) Whether in the workplace or officialdom, don't say anything that shouldn't be said, and don't spread it. Don't spread the word everywhere. If you have any doubts or don't understand, you should reserve it and ask others for advice. If you clearly don't understand or only know a rough idea, don't brag and talk big. This will greatly reduce the completion of the work or fail to complete the work according to quality and quantity. Wouldn't it be a bigger delay?

Two fables come to mind: the frog croaks from morning to night, which is not only useless but also annoying; the rooster only crows once a day in the early morning, but is highly praised. Therefore, you don’t need to ask for too much, but you need to say it just right and be effective and valuable. There is also a story about cows and hens. Every time a hen lays an egg, he will cluck...clucking and clucking. He will go everywhere to publicize his achievements and ask for rice from his master; while the cow, who eats It is grass, and the milk squeezed out every day is far more than the value of eggs, but the cows are always unknown and never brag about themselves. We people should have a bit of spirit. Those who work hard will not be forgotten forever. If you brag about your small achievements to everyone, you can indeed get a lot of admiration at the beginning, but listen If it is too much, it will become boring and annoying, because humans are always smart animals and are very judgmental. No? What people ultimately praise is Niu's hard-working spirit and true talent and practical learning.

Reply: Reading Notes of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea

What is astonishing about the author is not only the exaggerated, touching and scientifically significant novel he wrote, but also what is even more astonishing is what he wrote in the book. Although the story he wrote is no longer surprising today in the 21st century, in Verne's time, people had not yet invented submarines that could swim underwater, and even electric lights had not yet appeared. In this context, Next, Verne successfully created the Nautilus submarine in "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", and 25 years after the novel was published, people built a real submarine that was similar to the one described in the novel. What kind of foresight was this? , so the fantasies in Verne's works are all based on science. The scientific fantasy depicted in many of his works is still realized today. What's more important is that the fantasy in his works is bold and novel, and makes it interesting to read because of its realistic, vivid and picturesque nature. His works have thrilling plots, lifelike characters and unexpected endings. All this gives his work a timeless appeal.

"Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" was written in 1870. It is the second part of Verne's famous trilogy. The first part is "Captain Grant's Children" and the third part is "Captain Grant's Children". Mysterious Island". This work tells the story of French biologist Aronnax traveling in the depths of the ocean. This happened in 1866, when a large monster believed to be a narwhal was discovered at sea. He accepted the invitation to join the hunt, but unfortunately fell into the water during the hunt and swam on the monster's back. In fact, this monster is not a narwhal, but a diving boat with a wonderful structure. The diving boat was secretly built by Captain Nemo on a desert island in the ocean. It has a strong hull and uses the ocean to generate electricity. Captain Nemo invites Aronas to travel to the bottom of the sea. They set out from the Pacific Ocean, passed through coral islands, the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, and entered the Atlantic Ocean. They saw many rare marine animals and plants and strange scenes in the water. They also experienced strandings, sieges by natives, fights with sharks, iceberg road closures, and octopus attacks. Waiting for many dangers. Finally, when the diving boat arrived at the coast of Norway, Aronas left without saying goodbye and announced to the world the secrets of the seabed he knew. The protagonist in the book, Captain Nemo, is a romantic, mysterious and very attractive character. Nemo built a diving boat based on his own design and conducted large-scale scientific research on the seabed, but this did not seem to be the only purpose of his lonely life. He hid from his enemies and persecutors, searched for freedom on the bottom of the sea, and felt deeply sad about his lonely life. The mystery of this mysterious figure was not revealed until the third part of the trilogy. This work combines all the characteristics of Verne's science fiction novels. The twists, turns, and confusing storyline, the ever-changing fate of the characters, the rich and detailed scientific knowledge and the wonderful fantasy with realistic details are all integrated into one. The author has originality and clever layout. During the long journey, he sometimes pushes the readers into a dangerous environment full of dangers, and sometimes brings him into a wonderful realm full of poetry and painting; the description of magnificent scenes and the depiction of meticulous details appear alternately. It's a fascinating read and I can't put it down.

In this way, with a feeling of reverence, I began to take the Nautilus submarine with the protagonist explorer and naturalist Ayunas in the book, and began his legendary undersea journey. . Captain Nemo, the owner of the Nautilus, was a gloomy and knowledgeable man. Together they traveled around the Pacific, Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Mediterranean, Atlantic, Antarctic and Arctic oceans, and encountered many rare undersea animals and plants, as well as undersea caves, secret passages and ruins. , including the famous sunken city of Atlantis, an ancient civilization with a history and culture comparable to Greece. The Nautilus departed from the Sea of ??Japan, entered the Pacific Ocean, Oceania, and then the Indian Ocean, passed through the Red Sea and the Arabian Tunnel, and reached the Mediterranean Sea. The submarine passed through the Strait of Gibraltar, along the coast of Africa, and headed straight for the Antarctic region.

Then it went north along the coast of Latin America, followed the warm current to the North Sea, and finally disappeared into the large whirlpool on the west coast of Norway. During its nearly ten-month journey to the bottom of the sea, the Nautilus traveled slowly at an average speed of twelve kilometers per hour. I feel that I, along with Captain Nemo and his "guests", have enjoyed the ever-changing wonders and wonders of the seabed. The whole voyage has many climaxes: hunting under the sea, visiting the undersea forest, exploring the ruins of Atlantis on the bottom of the sea, salvaging the treasures from the Spanish shipwreck, witnessing the funeral of the Coral Kingdom, fighting with giant spiders, sharks, octopuses, and fighting against the siege of the indigenous people. etc. The book contains a lot of science, culture, geography, and geology. Ayunas revealed his admiration for Captain Nemo's outstanding talent and knowledge during the voyage. But in the fascinating story, it also warns people that while seeing the benefits of science and technology to mankind, they should also pay attention to preventing behaviors that are used by bad people and endanger mankind's own crisis; it proposes to protect seals, whales and other marine life, and condemns indiscriminate killing and fishing. concept. These environmental protection topics, which are still hot today, have already been called by prophets two hundred years ago. It can be seen that it leaves behind deeper thoughts about human justice. It is this book that allows readers to experience rich and colorful adventures and gain inspiration from spiritual knowledge. We gain more with our souls.

The novel begins with the appearance of "monsters" on the sea, frequently attacking shipping ships from various countries, causing people to panic, and ending with the Nautilus being swallowed by the Atlantic whirlpool. The whole novel is full of suspense and interlocking. This book fascinated me deeply. During the trip, Captain Nemo and I, as well as the tourists, all changed with the development of things, sometimes with fear and anxiety, sometimes with relaxation and joy. The subtlety of this book also lies in the enlightenment of completely natural knowledge. Although the book tells a lot about the knowledge about the ocean, for example, the name of the Red Sea is derived from the mucus secreted by a tiny organism called Trichophyton in the sea. The color of the water is as red as blood. But none of it is very deliberate or difficult for readers to accept. It is just what they saw and heard during a trip. This allows people to firmly preserve various ideas and gains arising from the scenery. Not every science fiction novel is as highly readable as "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea". As a novel that is not fabricated out of thin air but is the result of foresight and erudition, it is not only accessible to readers who do not have detailed knowledge of the seabed. It tells their journey and allows future generations to see the wisdom and civilization of the ancients. The entire novel uses a lot of space to introduce scientific knowledge such as ocean currents, fish, shellfish, corals, undersea plants, seaweeds, marine biological circulation systems, pearl production, etc., making it a veritable scientific enlightenment novel.

Remarks: The unit of length "li" in the novel is the ancient mile in French history. The length varies according to different provinces. It is also divided into ancient Yili, ancient continental mile and ancient sea mile. Professor Aronnax uses ancient land miles in the book. One ancient land mile is approximately equal to four kilometers. Therefore, 20,000 miles under the sea is 80,000 kilometers that can circle the earth twice.
