The Book of Changes is "the head of the group classics" and "the source of the avenue", from which hundred schools of thought draws nutrition. Yi Dao is vast, clean and subtle. Among them, there are many wise sayings that educate people to cultivate themselves. These golden rules of self-cultivation have influenced generations of Chinese children. 1. Don't use
as a divination from the Book of Changes. A hidden dragon is a potentially underwater dragon. This is to tell you that when you start doing things, you should pay attention to accumulating strength, hide your strength and don't make any big moves at will. There is also a saying that the hermit, the hidden dragon is a virtuous hermit, "hiding from the world without boredom, not seeing what is without boredom." The prosperity of the world cannot disturb his quiet heart; I won't feel sad and bored if I don't get others' affirmation. 2. Kang Long has regrets < P > It comes from the divination in the Book of Changes. Dragons that fly too high will have regrets. We often say that the extremes of things will be reversed, and it will take a long time. If you do something beyond a certain degree, it will change, and good things will start to get worse. Profound, is poor and high, only know how to fly high, know how to advance and never retreat. There is bound to be regret for doing so. 3, Tian Xingjian, the gentleman strives for self-improvement
from the Book of Changes. Health means vigorous, and the sky is vigorous, so yin and yang meet, everything grows, and the changes of the four seasons push each other. When a gentleman sees this situation, he must follow the example of heaven and strive for self-improvement. Self-improvement, literally means: to be strong, you must make unremitting efforts; The deep meaning is: even if a person's situation is worse, he can achieve a strong self through persistent efforts and efforts. If he wants to be strong, he must persist and not give up his efforts. 4, Dekun, a gentleman carries things with virtue
comes from the book of changes. The terrain is Kun, and the gentleman's virtue means that the momentum of the earth is generous and smooth, and the gentleman should thicken his virtue and accommodate everything. If a person can bear what he can, he should weigh it himself. A person with broad mind and noble moral character, who keeps forging ahead and is generous to others, will naturally gain the admiration and support of everyone and then achieve great success.
5. A gentleman should be virtuous.
It comes from the book of changes, which is a dry divination in classical Chinese. What do you mean by "taking virtue as a line"? That is to say, to achieve one's own virtue and moral character is a purpose of action. We all say now that life is practice. In the ancients, it was also true that "Tao can not be separated from non-Tao for a moment". Practice, cultivation and self-improvement do not need to be done deliberately, they are all in personal life. 6, no flat, no vicious, no difficulty, no blame
vicious means sloping land. This sentence means that the flat land and the hillside can be transformed into each other, and if you go, you will come. Difficulty and chastity are two words. Difficulty means hardship and poverty in the external environment. Chastity is a gentleman's inherent adherence to chastity. There is nothing wrong with a gentleman to keep his heart and character honest in a hard and poor environment. Confucius said: "The gentleman is poor, but the villain is poor." This is the biggest difference between a gentleman and a villain. 7, modest gentleman, humble self-grazing
refers to self-control with humility. The language "Yi Qian": "Modest gentleman, humble self-grazing." Pasturing is raising, which means self-control. Self-grazing is humility and self-control. Qian Gua is the only hexagram among the 64 hexagrams. 8, don't be constant in virtue, or be ashamed of it
The thirty-second hexagram in the Book of Changes is "constant hexagram", and its meaning is that this hexagram symbolizes permanence, prosperity, and no fault, which is conducive to keeping the right path and moving forward. Later, Yi Zhuan explained that the law of heaven and earth is eternal, the sun and the moon can shine on the world forever, the four seasons can change back and forth to generate everything forever, and saints can educate society by maintaining virtue forever; Observing these permanent phenomena, we can understand the temperament of everything between heaven and earth. 9. A gentleman should be identical but different
A gentleman should keep small differences and differences on the premise of seeking common ground. 1. A gentleman moves when he sees the good, and changes when he has
This sentence comes from the forty-second divination in the Book of Changes: Yi Gua. These two sentences and the Analects of Confucius, "See the sage Si Qi Yan, see the sage and introspect." Some are similar. "Move" means change. 11. A gentleman is based on Shunde, and a small one is tall.
The language comes from the forty-sixth hexagram in the Book of Changes. The divination of Ascension is about the divination of ascension, and it is also the meaning of "ascending the rank" in its rhetoric. Gentlemen should also follow this spirit, be cautious about their own virtues, keep on learning, start from small things, and accumulate into tall virtues or achievements. 12. A gentleman cultivates virtue by fruit
This sentence comes from the book of changes. Generally speaking, "fruit action" is understood as decisive action, but it doesn't make sense. What's the difference between decisiveness and arbitrariness? What decisive behavior can cultivate morality? Fruit is the fruit of plants. When it is put on people, it means that actions should have results, that is, actions and things should be done in a down-to-earth manner, and don't give up halfway without results, so as to cultivate people's virtue. 13. The phrase
that Nisshin is called "Shengde" was originally about the change of Yin and Yang, with Yin and Yang rubbing against each other and gossip swinging. The world is changing all the time, and everything is new in the next moment. "University" said: Gou Rixin, another day, another day. That is to say, a gentleman should follow the example of yin and yang, constantly improve himself and get rid of his mistakes. 14, inchworm flexion, in order to believe also. The sting of a dragon and a snake, in the language of
being alive, reveals the inchworm (huò): the name of a worm, with a slender body, bends and stretches when crawling. The north is called Buqu, and the south is called Bridge-builder. Sting: Animals hibernate and lurk without eating or moving. Inches bend their bodies in order to stretch forward; Snakes hibernate and lurk in order to preserve their health. It is a metaphor for people to endure humiliation for the time being in order to have greater development in the future. It generally means that reciprocating in circles is the law of motion of everything. 15. A gentleman hides his tools in his body and moves with the times < P > comes from Zhouyi under the copula. This is a very famous saying. "Weapon" can refer to knowledge and ability, which is the so-called "hiding the weapon in the body". Don't show it yet. It's okay to have a device without it, but you can't have it without it. However, it depends on the opportunity to have a weapon. In history, many characters were capable and talented, but they were born at the wrong time and had no good opportunity, so they were buried. You have the ability, and it is useless before the opportunity and fate. Although opportunities and opportunities are independent of people's will, we can always be vigilant and seize the opportunity when it comes. This is very powerful. 16. A gentleman does not flatter when he makes friends, but does not profane when he makes friends
comes from Zhouyi under the copula. It means that people with high morality associate with people with higher status than themselves, and do not flatter; Don't be contemptuous and arrogant when you associate with people who are lower than yourself. These two sentences are easy to say, but very difficult to do. Most people are: hand in flattery and hand in blasphemy. 17, the gentleman see a few, not as soon as all day long
a few is a sign, one million head; To do is to act and make a difference. It means to take immediate measures at the first sign. The Book of Changes tells the changes very thoroughly. Things always change from tiny places. To cultivate one's morality, a gentleman must be good at discovering the signs of these changes and taking measures in time. The opportunity is fleeting, so don't delay it day by day. 18. A gentleman moves before he moves, changes his mind before he speaks, and decides to make friends before he asks for it < P > comes from The Book of Changes. Only when the gentleman is stable can he take action; After pushing yourself and others, talk again; After making friends with others, you will want something. There is another sentence behind these three sentences: a gentleman practices these three things, so it is all right. It can be seen that the Book of Changes, Biography of Cohesions, thinks that these three aspects are very important for being a human being. 19. ups and downs are impermanent, and rigidity and softness are easy, so it is impossible to be a classic, but only to adapt to changes.
The ancients said that there are three changes, which are easy, simple and difficult. "Yi Zhuan" also said that God has no way and is easy to lose his body. It means that everything is changeable and there is no fixed law. Here, it is inferred that we should pay attention to the word "change" in personnel and self-cultivation 2, so poor that life.
