Han Yu, a famous writer and thinker in the Tang Dynasty, has a famous saying: "The mastery of work comes from hard work, and the failure from playfulness leads to success." The literal translation into the vernacular is: "Study can only be mastered by hard work. If you are greedy, you can achieve excellence." Playing will lead to ruin; virtue can only be formed by thinking, and it will be destroyed if you follow the crowd." This sentence comes from Han Yu's "Jin Xue Jie", which is as famous as his "Shi Shuo". . I think this article is no less ideological than "Shi Shuo"
From the introduction of experts, we can know that "Jinxue Jie" is a cynical work by Han Yu, which fully reflects the ancient intellectuals' understanding of the social phenomena at that time. The dissatisfaction and indignation are very helpful for us to understand the plight of the literati in the old days. But here I just want to say that today’s students should learn from Han Yu’s spirit of scholarship and moral cultivation. The sentence "The best of one's work is due to hard work, but not to play, and the success of one's work is due to thinking and ruined from following" reflects Han Yu's deep understanding and persistent philosophy of scholarship and moral cultivation.
What Han Yu said about "karma" , refers to reading and writing; "Xing" refers to acting and speaking. These are two important aspects of the subjective cultivation of scholars that he emphasized. When reading and writing, you must work hard, be focused, be energetic and attentive, and ignore the pleasures and games. Once you indulge in fun, your studies will be wasted and your youth will be wasted! He said in "You Zhi": "Oh! How ignorant! How can a villain return when a gentleman abandons him?" If you forget your studies, you will break away from the way of a gentleman, and you will not be far away from becoming a villain. . When you act and speak, you must adhere to the right path and conform to the standards, come from the mud and remain untainted, and do not follow those evil ways. Once you follow the trend and harbor dirt, you will inevitably fall! Even if it starts well, it will inevitably be ruined! As a gentleman, every word and deed must be based on one's own independent thinking and move forward on the right track.
As a person who adheres to the right path, he often feels that "the world is declining" and ends up complaining. In fact, this is not advisable. I often think that we should manage our "microclimate" well, learn from Han Yu's attitude, and require that our words and deeds are in line with justice and the needs of social development, so that we can survive despite death. Han Yu's theory is still praised by modern people, which is a clear proof.
I would like to encourage everyone: "The mastery of work comes from diligence rather than playfulness, the success comes from thinking and failure comes from casualness." Always do it: study honestly and live a clean life!
