Composition after reading "The Book of Rites"

I was reading the "Book of Rites" and came across the following passage, which is worth slowly understanding.

The ancient teachers had private schools in their families, a party and a school, well-organized skills, and a state-owned school. Enrollment in recent years and school entrance exams in middle age. One year of Shilijing distinguishes the will. Three years are regarded as dedicated work and a group of people, five years are regarded as erudite studies and personal teachers, seven years are regarded as theoretical studies and friends, which is called small success; nine years of knowing the class and being comprehensive, being strong and not rebelling, is called Dacheng. The husband is then able to change the people and customs, persuade those who are near, and embrace them who are far away. This is the way of a university.

In ancient times, education did not include morality, intelligence, physical education, beauty, and labor, but it contained benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, and trust. It does not say that students will become talents and do a big career after graduation. It only requires students to have a sound personality, be knowledgeable, and be able to become role models. After becoming a role model, others will naturally be convinced, that is, changing people's customs, convincing those who are close, and embracing those who are far away.

In contrast, our current education is basically for scores, certificates, and degrees, () and then used as tools to get ahead. To a certain extent, we are very dedicated, but we have to ask, are we a group?

In today's colleges and universities, teachers give students grades based on test papers, and students give teachers performance points. I am very disgusted with this, not because the students gave me low scores, but because I cannot understand this kind of thing. In order to please students, some people even give up their dignity as teachers, tolerate and indulge students, and are servile. Also, some students even scolded their teachers on the Internet because they did not do well in the exams. What a shame, today’s students are called “expert teachers”.

To make friends by discussing studies, we can understand it as having the ability to discuss studies and the principles of choosing friends. But I prefer to misinterpret these four words as making friends through literature. A heart-breaking song, where can I find a close friend in the world? The most painful thing is not having a close friend. The easiest people to become close friends are classmates and peers. I hope that the friendship between classmates will be unforgettable and that fellow students will not be enemies. It is much happier to drink wine and talk happily than to have swords and swords. If you can do the above three points, you can achieve a small success. In fact, it is not difficult.

Dacheng is called understanding the class and understanding, being powerful without being counter-reflective. This is difficult to do for many reasons. I think the most important reason is to have independent thought and honest judgment. This may be too popular to say, and many people will not think this is so important. Let me give you an example of how I often set people up.

I often ask others: Do you think the eight-part essay is good?

The respondent in the above example is a person who has no independent thinking. When making a value judgment on a thing, it must be based on understanding, otherwise everything will be just what others say and there will be no independent opinion. There is no upper limit to Dacheng, independent thinking, honest life, that's all.

Thoughts after reading the Book of Rites

The nine schools of Confucianism, Taoism, Yin-Yang, Fa, Ming, Mohism, Za, Nong, and Novelists are the nine earliest schools in China, among which Confucianism and Taoism was the first to appear. Confucian etiquette had already been implemented in the Zhou Dynasty, and Taoist gossip had appeared as early as Fuxi's time. But "Mencius: Chapter 1 of the Heart" says: "Those who hate one thing are traitors to the Tao, and if you lift one, you will discard a hundred." Therefore, I think Confucianism still advocates the middle way.

I think the article "Confucianism" is about the various behaviors of gentlemen (Confucian scholars). The passage that I understand the most is: Confucianism considers loyalty as armor, etiquette and righteousness as oars; conduct actions with benevolence, and act with righteousness; even if there is tyranny, it will not change its place. Such is its self-reliance. Some people would translate it as: Confucian scholars use loyalty and trustworthiness as armor, etiquette and righteousness as shields; they wear benevolence on their heads and walk, and they live with righteousness in their arms. This is self-reliance. But I prefer to translate it as: Confucian scholars defend their thoughts with loyalty and protect their pure hearts with etiquette and justice; they have an idea in their minds to act with benevolence and deal with things with righteousness in their hearts. Although there is tyranny, it cannot change my mind. This is called self-reliance.

Let’s give two examples!

During the Zhou Dynasty, Xibo (King Wen of Zhou) did not like King Zhou’s dissolute and unethical rule, so he governed the country with his own benevolent government. This angered King Zhou, so King Zhou imprisoned Xibo. But Xibo still followed his right path and finally defeated King Zhou (but he passed his great way to his son King Wu).

The second example is about the Jew Moses.

After the Jews stayed in Egypt for a long time, the Egyptians began to exclude the Jews, and later they wanted to kill all the newborn Jewish boys. Only a little boy named Moses was rescued. He supported the Jews' belief in God rather than their belief in polytheism, and finally led them to move to Jerusalem (later Israel) and call themselves Israelis.

So, if you can only cook and sweep the floor independently, this is not called self-reliance. You must have this heart to be called self-reliance.

Composition after reading the Book of Rites

In my spare time, I often like to sit quietly at the desk alone, sipping green tea while slowly reading the ancient book "The Book of Rites" Classic, the faint fragrance of tea and books instantly blended, filled, and lingered in my heart and spleen, which was enough to make me feel relaxed and happy, and mesmerized. As I read, I seemed to have returned to the distant ancient times, drinking tea with the ancient sages. and dialogue.

"Book of Rites" is an important work that studies the social conditions, regulations and systems of ancient China, and Confucianism. Its status in history is second only to "The Analects of Confucius" and comparable to "Mencius" and further ahead. Beyond "Xunzi". This book can be said to be all-inclusive, with ritual and music as its core, and the thoughts it expounds include society, politics, ethics, philosophy, religion and other aspects. "Book of Rites" was listed as one of the "Nine Classics" in the Tang Dynasty, and was included in the "Thirteen Classics" in the Song Dynasty. It is a must-read book for scholars. This shows that the book "Book of Rites" important value. "Book of Rites", "Rituals" and "Zhou Rites" are collectively known as the "Three Rites", which have had a profound impact on Chinese culture, and people of all eras have looked for ideological resources from them.

? The journey of the great road means that the world is for the common good, select the worthy and capable, maintain trust and cultivate harmony. Therefore, people do not only care for their relatives, nor do they only have children for their children, so that the old will have their end, the strong will be useful, the young will grow, and the lonely, lonely, and sick will all be supported. I read this passage over and over again, and was deeply affected by the powerful spiritual power contained in the text. ?In the era of the implementation of the Great Dao, the world is owned by everyone in the world. Elect virtuous and talented people to govern the world, and people should pay attention to trust and live in harmony. Therefore, people not only regard their relatives as relatives, and not only regard their children as children, so that the elderly can enjoy their lives in peace, the mature people have a place to contribute their talents, the young people can get a good education, and the young people can enjoy a peaceful life. The old without a spouse, the young without a father, the old without children and the disabled can all receive support. Such a society is called a world of great harmony. Mr. Sun Yat-sen once proposed the idea of ??"the world is for the common good" and advocated the establishment of a democratic government and society of the people, for the people and by the people for the common people. This passage will not lose its luster over time. Reading it to this day, it still emits golden light that illuminates the hearts of each of us and expresses each of us’ strong yearning for a happy and just Datong society. .

Composition after reading the Book of Rites

Opening my notebook, the first sentence excerpted from the notebook is a passage from the book "The Book of Rites": "Educated, Examine it, think carefully, argue clearly, and practice it diligently. ?The original meaning of this sentence is: ?Study extensively, inquire about knowledge in detail, understand it thoroughly, think carefully, distinguish clearly, and practice it practically. ?I often use this sentence in the "Book of Rites" as my motto, and often use this sentence to teach and encourage my children and young friends around me. The concept of erudition means that learning must first be extensive and cultivate abundant and vigorous curiosity. When curiosity is lost, the desire to learn will also die, making erudition impossible. ?Bo? also means broad-minded and tolerant. Only by being broad-minded and tolerant can we be inclusive, enable our school to have a global perspective and an open mind, and truly achieve the goal of "tolerating all rivers, being inclusive", and then "loving all and being benevolent". Therefore, erudition can become the first stage of learning. Beyond this stage, learning is like a tree without roots and water without a source. "Interrogation" is the second stage. If you don't understand something, you need to get to the bottom of it and doubt what you have learned. After asking, you must carefully examine and analyze it through your own ideological activities, otherwise what you have learned cannot be used by yourself, which is "thinking carefully". "Clear debate" is the fourth stage. Learning becomes clearer with more debate. Without debate, the so-called "erudite" will be a mixed bag of good and bad, it will be difficult to distinguish the true from the false, and the good and the bad will not be distinguished. "Practice with sincerity" is the final stage of learning, that is, since you have learned something, you must work hard to practice what you have learned, so that what you have learned can finally be implemented, and "unity of knowledge and action" can be achieved. ?Du? means loyalty, down-to-earth, single-mindedness and perseverance.

Only those with clear goals and firm will can truly achieve "practice". This sentence always reminds me to pay attention to learning at work. I must not only be proficient in business knowledge, but also extensively study excellent books on other aspects, constantly improve my overall personal quality, and be a person with "one specialty and multiple abilities". You should communicate more with colleagues and friends around you, learn their advanced working methods, and ask experienced comrades for advice on problems in work and life. In addition, it is not enough to just study theory and book knowledge. You need to practice more and exercise more to learn and apply what you have learned.

In this book, I also learned some of the ancient Confucian scholars’ understanding of the ancient etiquette system, such as the origin and function of etiquette, and the ancient people’s understanding of etiquette such as crown ceremony, betrothal gift, and sacrificial ceremony. normative explanation. It can be said that the emergence of "Book of Rites" marks the maturity of Chinese ethical culture. This book still has great enlightenment and educational research significance on etiquette and etiquette in modern Chinese society. Of course, some texts in the "Book of Rites" also contain the idea of ??fully safeguarding the feudal hierarchy and stubbornly promoting the superiority of men and the inferiority of women. These ideas are undesirable and require us to treat them with an attitude of "taking the essence and discarding the dross."

In short, "Book of Rites" is a valuable Chinese classic, just like a pot of good tea, you need to sip it slowly and carefully to feel the refreshing aroma.

?The most beautiful thing is the fragrance of books that can reach far, and there is poetry and calligraphy in the belly. I will continue to wander in the sea of ??books and pick up a faint scent of books.
