1. In the past, I only thought that Confucius was an out-and-out nerd who could only read ancient poems and the Analects of Confucius. By reading this book, I now know that he is not only not a nerd, but also an educator of high moral character and a person who can fight with soldiers, which makes me get to know him again. On the battlefield, he is a military advisor; in the palace, he is an educator; at home, he is a qualified father. On the battlefield, Confucius only used more than a thousand soldiers to scare away the opponent's more than 50,000 troops.

"When three people are walking together, there must be a teacher from me", "A quick and eager to learn, and not ashamed to ask questions." These are the two sentences that touched me the most in "The Biography of Confucius". The former one says that if several people come together, then there must be someone among them who can be a teacher; the latter one tells us to study quickly and hard, and not to be ashamed to ask for advice from those who are inferior to ourselves. Although these two sentences were spoken by Confucius more than 2,000 years ago, they are still wise sayings and are of great significance. "When three people are walking together, there must be a teacher from me." This sentence contains a broad truth: the capable person is the teacher. In our daily lives, we come into contact with many people every day, and everyone has certain advantages that are worth learning from and can also become our good teachers and helpful friends. Let’s talk about our colleagues. In this group of nearly 100 people, there are basketball players, painters, calligraphers, and chess masters. Some are good at astronomy, some are good at geography; some are full of numbers; some are good at singing and dancing... Learn more from these ordinary people around us, just like the seedlings in the green bush absorbing rich nutrients . The mountains are so majestic and stretching; the sea is so magnificent and boundless. The reason why the mountains are high is that they never reject every pebble; the reason why the sea is wide is because it actively gathers every inconspicuous stone. water. If you want to have the feelings of the mountains and the profoundness of the sea, you must be good at absorbing every bit of their strengths from ordinary people - "among three people walking together, there must be one teacher from me." Of course, a child of a few years old is not as good as an educator over forty years old; ordinary people are also not as knowledgeable as historians... But it is this kind of "not ashamed to ask" that has created many great people.

Although I have not finished reading this book, I have benefited a lot from it. So if I have time and energy, I will definitely reread it several times and savor it carefully.

2The Spring Festival is approaching. For most Chinese people, the Spring Festival is the "year" that is truly worth celebrating, so they start to get busy, if not physically, at least mentally. In the New Year atmosphere, many people are asking, how should we spend this New Year? How to celebrate the New Year has become a problem. This question is very easy to answer for wanderers and their families. After a long journey, I rushed home before New Year's Eve to dedicate myself to my family as a big New Year's gift. The family looked forward to returning the wanderer and thought of ways to give him warmth. While busy, the year passed full and fulfilling. This is a classic way to spend the year, and it has been on the screen countless times. We, ordinary citizens, live and grow here like a plant, rarely move our homes, and have no chance to celebrate the New Year like this. Look at the migrant workers who have entered the city, carrying gifts for their families and the newly received RMB in their pockets, squeezing onto the Spring Festival travel trains heading home. "I'm going home to celebrate the New Year," they shouted happily. This is called Chinese New Year, this is like Chinese New Year. They have worked hard for a year in exchange for this New Year joy. This is the joy they deserve and is enviable. Some people also say that celebrating the New Year is just about getting some food. Housewives are the least likely to hear this kind of argument. They would say, "It's just a matter of eating and speaking lightly. How easy is it to get something to eat?" Indeed, there is no day on the dinner table today other than chickens and ducks. Fish, seasonal vegetables? It has become difficult to get some fresh food to please everyone. Isn’t it possible to open up new food sources for rare animals and plants? Not to mention other things, the food habits are too complex and are not in line with modern civilization. Looking back 20 or 30 years ago, there seemed to be a routine for the Chinese New Year, and every link that made up this routine brought great joy to the children. There is still half a month before the Chinese New Year, and adults have begun to prepare New Year's goods. Counting the rationed "tickets" in hand carefully, there was only one poultry, chickens but not ducks, a pound and a half of eggs for fish, and roasted seeds and nuts candies calculated accurately to taels. But the adults always find ways to get something else, and in the end they will prepare the most sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner of the year. A few days before the New Year, adults would take a group of children at home like piglets to the public bathroom or work bathhouse to wash themselves off. The warm steam and sufficient hot water would make the children's faces as red as apples. Putting on new clothes and shoes on the first day of the new year, maybe just a floral blouse over an old cotton-padded jacket, can make a little girl look as beautiful as "a bone weighing less than four ounces." Also, during the year, all the cinemas and theaters were full, and you could hear the sound of spectators eating melon seeds in the dark... That kind of simple happiness is really rare.

Nowadays, our tongue buds are numb to delicious food, and buying new clothes is too common. The large flat-screen color TV at home not only makes us too lazy to go to the theater, but also makes us too lazy to watch TV programs... In the age of material poverty, we have never Food, clothes, bathing, and the happiness gained from watching programs are gone forever in today's materially abundant world... Look, there is a gentleman over there, frowning, as embarrassed as Hamlet: How to celebrate the New Year, this is a question... Chapter 2: The recent rainy weather during the New Year is indeed not very pleasant, but the joy of the New Year has already been fully squeezed into the rainy sky. Sometimes I see people on the street carrying large bags The small bags were hurried home, everyone's face was smiling, and they were holding new clothes in their hands. This reminded me of the custom of wearing new clothes during the New Year. When I was a child, I was always so happy to wear new clothes. No matter the style or brand of the new clothes, as long as they were new, I would be overjoyed and would feel that it was the best symbol of the New Year and the best clothes of the year. As early as the Spring Festival, in order to welcome relatives and friends to visit us for New Year greetings, we would clean the inside and outside of our homes and put a Spring Festival couplet on the door to pray for good luck. Traditional couplets are made with black or gold couplets written on red paper. They are all auspicious words such as "prosperous wealth", "promoted step by step" and "full of wealth". Giving gifts to the Kitchen God is a major event before the Spring Festival. I heard from my grandma that sending the Kitchen God off is on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. On this day, the Kitchen God returns to heaven to report the affairs of the world to the Jade Emperor. People hope that the Kitchen God will say good things to heaven, so on this day people will specially prepare rich offerings to worship the Kitchen God. New Year's Eve is an extremely important day for people. On this day, people prepare to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year, and have a reunion dinner. The annual reunion dinner can fully demonstrate the mutual respect and love among family members. After the reunion dinner, we started to watch the New Year's Eve. The most gratifying thing for children is not only being able to wear new clothes and play with firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, but the most important thing is being able to receive New Year's money from adults. Receiving New Year's money can also be said to be receiving red envelopes, because red symbolizes vitality and happiness. and good luck. Adults send red envelopes to underage children to express their wishes and good luck to them. The amount of money in the red envelope is not important, the main thing is to make the children happy. Its main meaning is in the red paper because it symbolizes good luck. Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the Spring Festival has long passed, but the flavor of the New Year is still lingering, still giving people endless aftertaste. Article 3: Happy Chinese New Year! Looking forward to it! Hope, the Spring Festival is coming soon. Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but laugh. Before the Spring Festival, people are all happy and full of energy. There is an endless stream of people shopping, some are buying New Year pictures, some are buying New Year goods, some are sitting around the fire box watching TV, some are playing mahjong and poker, and so on. Anyway, the streets are colorful, there are all kinds of people, and all kinds of goods are complete and dazzling. It may be difficult for people to choose what they want to buy! Before the Spring Festival, every house is brightly lit, and every house is decorated in a unique style, each with its own personality. They put the New Year's goods they bought all over the floor. How to paste the New Year pictures you buy depends on your own style and preference. Some are posted upright, some are pasted upside down, and some are pasted crookedly. Each has its own merits. People have prepared all the vegetables they bought, and they are ready to have a feast when the Spring Festival comes. There are firecrackers in every house, and people put on new clothes and prepare to welcome the New Year. Before the Spring Festival, when people go out and meet good friends, they always say: "Go to the streets!" People kill pigs and sheep. , busy preparing for a feast of eating and drinking during the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival is here, and the children get up early, go to their parents’ room, and start the traditional New Year greeting ceremony. The children said some auspicious words to their parents, and the parents took out the New Year's money to make the children happy. Everyone hopes that this year will bring good luck and good fortune. Some relatives and friends gathered together, tasting fine wine and food, and talking happily. The happiest thing is that we can save a lot of New Year's money, and then happily run to the street to buy many fun things, such as cars, four-wheel drive vehicles, toy guns, footballs, etc., and we only need to be sweeter , if you say more blessings, you will make a lot of money! People played until late at night, eating delicious fruits in their mouths, setting off firecrackers and fireworks in their hands... adults and children sang and danced, having a great time! Article 4: Amidst the sound of firecrackers, we ushered in the most grand festival of the Chinese people - the Spring Festival. Every family was full of joy, hanging red lanterns, pasting red Spring Festival couplets, and being busy... On the first day of the first lunar month, Another happy day. I used to be the last person to get up, but today I was the first to get up because I really wanted to smell the fragrant firecracker smoke. Strings of firecrackers were lit in people's hands. The sound was really loud and splashed everywhere, as if they were sending every blessing to thousands of households. The sound of firecrackers continued one after another, crackling and making it very lively. After the firecrackers, there's nothing fun anymore. Let’s have breakfast and go out to play later! After dinner, I invited a few friends to play together. The firecrackers lit on the street bloomed beautiful flowers on the ground. The little birds came out to join in the fun today, and they were probably very happy too. The street is indeed a street, with everything to play and eat. Most of the people I saw were children. I took a look and found that the spicy stalls were the busiest: "I want a bunch of rice cakes!" A fat child shouted.

How about going somewhere else to have a look? In front of a stationery store, I stopped again. There are all kinds of fun things there: airplane models, telescopes, electric cars... all kinds of fun things. The most popular ones I find are the ones that are played with. In other places, I also saw some selling balloons, pistols, and skipping ropes, and some selling snacks, snacks, and fruits. They had everything from clothing to food. It was really strange. After playing all morning, I am going to visit relatives and friends again in the afternoon to celebrate the New Year. This is undoubtedly a happy thing. I had so much fun today! It’s a feast for the eyes, a feast for the mouth, and a feast for the hands. The luckiest ones are the sellers, business is booming today! I sincerely hope that today’s children across the country will be happy and free from worries in the new year, but don’t let yourself lose your mind by playing with things!

2 Happy Spring Festival

In this snowless and increasingly warm season, the Spring Festival unknowingly buries the dull days and rushes towards us. Looking at the newly purchased wall calendar on the wall and counting the days approaching the last Spring Festival of this century, I can’t help but sigh that the years are rushing by and another peaceful and busy year has passed.

As the year approaches, the more or less good impressions accumulated in childhood have faded away. It is no longer the age of firecrackers, fireworks and dumplings, and we no longer look forward to being one year older and more knowledgeable. 10%, rather than saying that the Spring Festival is the happiest time, it is a moment when people suddenly realize that they are getting older and have greater responsibilities.

To express general congratulations, say a few auspicious words to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and write some articles about spring and nostalgia, the elegance has long since disappeared. Like a program host, talking about the major events of this year, lamenting the past and present, and thinking about the future is just to win the compliments and applause of the audience. I won’t deceive myself or others. Maybe our expectations are too high. The Spring Festival is just an ordinary day among 365 days in a year. We have injected too much cultural connotation and commercial hype into it, so it seems particularly heavy. In fact, we might as well treat it with a normal heart, suppress our expectations and restlessness, and obtain some subtle satisfaction outside of eating, drinking, laughing, and visiting relatives and friends.

In the past, the Spring Festival left me with many beautiful and unforgettable memories. I think today's children will feel the same joyful and grand festival as I did then. However, different ages have different experiences, perhaps due to their own personalities and interests. No matter how various media exaggerate and bombard me, my actual feelings are always unsatisfactory. I feel a lot more helpless and a little more nervous than usual. Tired and heavy. You have to go to your parents, you have to go to your relatives and friends, you have to go to meet your colleagues, but the real content is always about eating and drinking. Clichés such as "Congratulations on getting rich," "Happy New Year," and "Good Luck and Good Luck" feel awkward but have to be repeated over and over again. Parading the streets, shopping, guessing riddles, lighting up lamps, giving gifts and entertaining guests year after year endlessly. People are like a top, being whipped around and spinning without knowing where the center of gravity is. In such an overwhelming festival, we still have to force ourselves to be excited as children, watch the night-long party, and listen to the laughter of others, but what we feel is our own sleepy eyes, disappointed mood, and desireless stomach. I would rather eat a simple meal as usual, go to bed at ten o'clock, read a book for a while, or play a round of cards with friends. I always feel that on this day when everyone is happy, I have no interest at all, and I even have a good appetite.

Tradition, culture, history, and customs are originally man-made products. Our ancestors formulated them. We continue to copy and reproduce them from generation to generation, and they evolve and play to make them brilliant, and they are also promoted by the Internet. Let it soar and mutate, it ultimately restricts ourselves and goes against the basic nature of human beings - people yearn for freedom and happiness. The Spring Festival can be said to be the clearest mirror, in which everyone can see, so tired Is that the negative face you had when you were a child? Even a hint of joy.

Yes, we continue to grow older and continue to experience the vicissitudes of life. This year's Spring Festival will be copied by next year's Spring Festival. Today's unhappiness may disappear tomorrow. Memory filters out the shadows and sadness in everyone's heart. What is left may be something that can be called beautiful, but what about once? There is no place for us there. It is blurred and fictitious. Even though we know it is false, we still repeat it and write articles to coax pedestrians and children.

3. A day’s experience

In the sound of firecrackers, we ushered in the most important festival of the Chinese people - the Spring Festival. Every family was full of joy and hung up red lanterns. Put up red Spring Festival couplets and be busy...

The first day of the first lunar month is another happy day.

I used to be the last person to get up, but today I fought for the first place because I really wanted to smell the fragrant firecracker smoke. Strings of firecrackers were lit in people's hands. The sound was really loud and splashed everywhere, as if they were sending every blessing to thousands of households. The sound of firecrackers continued one after another, crackling and making it very lively.

After the firecrackers, there is nothing fun anymore. Let’s have breakfast and go out to play later!

After dinner, I invited a few friends to play together. The firecrackers lit on the street bloomed beautiful flowers on the ground. They were so beautiful. The pocket money given by my parents was in the bag. Titus was happy. The little birds came out to join in the fun today, and they were probably very happy too.

The street is indeed a street, with everything to play and eat. Most of the people I saw were children. I took a look and found that the spicy stalls were the best:

"I want a bunch of rice cakes!" A fat child shouted.

How about going somewhere else? In front of a stationery store, I stopped again. There are all kinds of fun things there: airplane models, telescopes, electric cars... all kinds of fun things. The most popular ones I find are the ones that are played with.

In other places, I also saw some selling balloons, pistols, and skipping ropes, and some selling snacks, snacks, and fruits.

After playing all morning, I am going to visit relatives and friends in the afternoon to celebrate the New Year. This is undoubtedly a happy thing.

I had so much fun today! It’s a feast for the eyes, a feast for the mouth, and a feast for the hands. The luckiest ones are the sellers, business is booming today!

4 Thoughts after reading "The Biography of Famous People"

I was deeply moved after reading "The Biography of Famous People" by Romain Rolland. Romain Rolland is a famous French writer in the 20th century. His works are powerful spiritual pillars for people. "Celebrity Biography" tells the story of Beethoven, Michelangelo and Tolstoy. They experienced various hardships but did not give in to fate. They still fought unyieldingly at the last second of their lives and finally became Great man. This also tells us a truth: difficulties and setbacks are the best training for destiny and life!

Among these three great men, Beethoven left the deepest impression on me. He has a burning passion for music and has created many excellent works. His works are profound, magnificent and full of fantasy. But disaster still befell him mercilessly. In 1802, he realized that his hearing impairment was incurable and would soon worsen. That means he may never be able to create again! What a blow! But he was able to fight against fate tenaciously, which may be the reason why he was able to write so many immortal works in his later period. This spirit of never compromising on life and destiny is what we should learn from. This great and unyielding soul brings light to the dark world and hope to life.

Reading Beethoven’s story reminded me of Helen Keller, a person with the same strong perseverance. Her life was also very unfortunate. A serious illness in her childhood turned her into a little girl who was blind, deaf and mute. In her world, there is no color, no sound, and no way to express her thoughts. But the unfair fate did not make her lose hope. She was eager to understand everything, so she redoubled her efforts and eventually became one of the most influential figures in the 19th century.

Beethoven and Helen Keller encountered different hardships in life, but they had the same spirit - never surrender to fate! This not only makes me admire but also makes me think deeply. As a middle school student in the 21st century, the competition in society has become more intense. We have more and more homework, and the difficulties in learning have also increased. Do we also need this kind of spirit when facing many difficulties and pressures? yes! When encountering difficulties, when academic performance declines, let us "brighten our eyes again with the light of Beethoven." Use firm belief to face setbacks, and use tenacious perseverance to realize our ideals

Celebrity Biography" was written by the French writer Romain Rolland. The book writes about three famous figures in the world. The first is the German composer: Beethoven; the other is the talented Italian sculptor: Michelangelo; and the last is the famous Russian writer: Tolstoy. The most touching thing in this "Celebrity Biography" is the story of Beethoven. Beethoven was a musical genius. His talent was discovered by his father very early. Unfortunately, Beethoven's father was not a good father. He asked Beethoven to practice piano every day, regardless of his mood. They kept training him, and sometimes even put Beethoven and a violin in a room and locked him up for a whole day, using violence to force him to learn music. Beethoven's childhood was very miserable. His mother died when he was sixteen, and his father became a spendthrift alcoholic. These misfortunes pressed on Beethoven's head, leaving deep scars in his heart, which also led to his bad temper and eccentricity. But Beethoven did not sink because of this. He devoted all his energy to the music career he loved. Because of his talent and hard work, he soon became famous. When he was immersed in the happiness that music brought him, something unfortunate happened again: he became deaf. For a musician, the most important thing is his ears. However, a great musician like Beethoven, who made a living from music, has deaf ears. This blow is unacceptable to ordinary people. Beethoven's life was tragic and troubled, but why was he still successful? Why can he do things that normal people can't do? This got me thinking deeply. I think the reason why Beethoven succeeded was because he had extraordinary perseverance and fighting spirit. He had no fear in the face of difficulties. This is the secret of his success. In daily life, when we encounter difficulties, we often think of asking others for help instead of facing the difficulties head-on and making up our minds to solve them. As for Beethoven, because of his weird temper, no one wanted to be friends with him. Therefore, when he faced difficulties, he could only fight alone.

Although he was very lonely, he learned something that others could not learn: as long as you give yourself unlimited courage, you can defeat even the most terrifying enemy. Finally, I hope that people all over the world can remember Beethoven and live like Beethoven. (3) "Biographies of Celebrities" is composed of "The Biography of Beethoven", "The Biography of Michelangelo" and "The Biography of Tolstoy" by the famous French writer Romain Rolland. They were all created in the early twentieth century. It has had a wide impact in later generations. In these three biographies, Romain Rolland did not stick to trivial examinations of the lives of the subjects, nor did he generally trace their creative processes. Instead, he firmly grasped the three artists in their respective fields. The similarities are focused on depicting their mental journeys of enduring suffering for a long time in pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty. Romain Rolland called them "heroes" and wrote about their noble courage to fight against fate and their great feelings to bear the suffering of all mankind with touching pen and ink. It can be said that he wrote another "heroic symphony" for us. . As early as the 1930s and 1940s, "The Biography of Celebrities" was translated into Chinese by the famous Chinese translator Mr. Fu Lei. The first-class biographer, first-class author and first-class translator made this work quickly become a classic. A masterpiece that is still loved by readers today. The first half of the 20th century was a turbulent and suffering period in human history. Romain Rolland wrote "The Biography of Famous People" and Mr. Fu Lei translated "The Biography of Famous People". They were all inspired by the lives of these great men. Draw the strength to survive and the courage to fight. Mr. Fu Lei said, "When the haze covers the entire sky," the inspiration he got from "The Biography of Celebrities" is: "Only real suffering can drive away the suffering of romantic Dick's fantasy; only the heroic tragedy that overcomes suffering can , can help us endure the cruel fate; only by holding the spirit of 'If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell', can we save a depressed and selfish nation..." So, for today's readers, "The Biography of Celebrities" is another What can you give us? In an era where material life is extremely rich but spiritual life is relatively poor, in a society where people avoid the sublime, bid farewell to the sublime and settle for mediocrity, "The Biography of Celebrities" may give us more embarrassment, because the careers of these giants are like A bright mirror makes our despicableness and insignificance clearly visible. We would rather praise their works than feel the greatness of their personalities. At the end of "The Life of Michelangelo", Romain Rolland said that a great soul is like a high mountain, "I don't say that ordinary human beings can survive on the peak. But once a year they should go up and pay homage. There, they can Change the breath in their lungs and the blood flow in their veins. There, they will feel closer to eternity. Later, they will return to the vast plains of life, filled with the courage to fight every day." This is truly a golden statement for our time. "The Biography of Celebrities" very well confirms an ancient Chinese saying: Those who have achieved great success in ancient and modern times must not only have extraordinary talents, but also must have perseverance. Beethoven's "Find shelter in sadness and forbearance", Michelangelo's "The more I suffer, the more I like it", Tolstoy's "I cry, I am in pain, I just want the truth", all show that great life is An endless battle. Our era is ever-changing and full of opportunities. We long for success, but we don’t want to struggle. What we want is overnight success. Impetuousness and eagerness for quick success may make us achieve short-lived achievements, but it will never make us among the immortals among mankind. Therefore, reading "The Biography of Celebrities" may make us sober.
