First, "encourage learning"
"Encouraging Learning" is an essay written by Xia Zi, a student of Jixia Xuegong in Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period. The full text consists of 14 articles, respectively, from academic ability, conduct, cultivation, virtue, moral practice and education. This paper expounds that if you want to make a difference in life, you must first correct your attitude, improve your self-cultivation and study and practice in combination with your own actual situation. The language of the article is vivid and touching, the tone is mild and short, and it has strong appeal and persuasiveness. The full text is divided into eight parts: theory, ambition and attitude. The most classic sentence in this article: there is no limit to learning, and there is no wide range. Those who know are not as good as those who are good, and those who are happy are also.
1, there is no end to learning. This sentence discusses the importance of learning from an academic point of view.
Learn as much as you gain from your study. Just like the sea, without depth, there is no turbulent momentum. If people do not have the breadth of extensive cognition, there will be no accumulation of knowledge. Only through continuous learning can we continuously increase our knowledge and experience. So now learning knowledge that can't meet the needs of work, we should constantly supplement the knowledge we need.
This sentence tells us that only by persistent study can we achieve the goal of improving our self-cultivation.
There is no end to learning, and learning needs you to persist for a lifetime. On the road of learning, only persistent efforts can reach the peak of life. Many people say that they don't have the will to keep learning, but this is actually a wrong idea. If a person has no perseverance in learning, he will not devote all his energy to learning. If a person enjoys success instead of persistent efforts, he will never achieve anything. Only when we work hard can we succeed.
Tell us to be good at learning and be brave in exploring.
There is no end to our study, and there is no end. Only by constantly discovering new knowledge can we gain more knowledge. You can't explore and develop yourself without learning new knowledge and exploring new knowledge. "Knowing is not as good as being happy" means that learning can be "eager to learn and happy to learn", and it also means that learning can only develop and not stop. It is almost impossible to know that there is no limit when there is a limit! This sentence can be said to be a very good answer to the essence of the proposition that "knowing is not as good as being happy". Therefore, many times "knowing is not as good as being happy" is a higher and deeper understanding of learning.
Tell us to be ambitious.
Ambition is not far away, but firm. -"The Analects of Confucius Wei Linggong" Confucius said: "The ambition is in the Tao, the virtue is in the virtue, the benevolence is in the benevolence, and the art is wandering." Only by aiming high can we be more determined and successful. On the contrary, without ambition, you will only lose your way.
Second, "Zisi"
Lutz asked the gentleman and said, "Your way is here!" The gentleman said, "The power of a horse is known from a distance and seen for a long time." So I went to the road and met it; The next road, meet it. Meet again every three years, hundreds of miles apart; Not coming back for three years is like dreaming. This is the general idea of Zisi (Luz): If you meet a friend (who may not be familiar with it) before you go on the road, and then meet an enemy (who may not be familiar with it), it is as terrible as thousands of miles between people. So I think one day I will stand there waiting for you to get close and protect you.
1, read on and you will find how pure they are.
Confucius said, "A gentleman has three things: teeth without mouth, heart without tongue." Confucius said, "People are good at being bullied, but Ma is good at being ridden. If you don't learn, you don't know its goodness; Learn without thinking about its evil, how can you bully! " It means: a gentleman will not speak sweetly unless he imitates others; Don't say what others say that you don't understand; I will not think about what others have said, nor will I say what others want to say; Don't lie when others are in trouble (even if they are used by others). Only such people can be trusted. Are kind and gentle. In this way, you can protect yourself from injustice. It makes sense to do so. After doing this, there will be no resentment.
Are you still hesitating when to meet him?
Are you still hesitating when to meet him? Are you still hesitating when to meet him? Don't hesitate to have a look! Maybe you've only met him in this world. Maybe you will cry when you see him. Do you believe that you will meet someone you can trust for life and won't let you down? When you meet him, you will know who you can trust for life!
3. Are you still worried about him?
Confucius is the founder of Confucianism and is considered as one of the greatest thinkers in the world. This article of his left an extremely valuable ideological legacy to future generations. In this complicated and changeable world, only a few people can stick to their values, ideals and beliefs on the road of life like Confucius. Because of this, there are many things that look ordinary and have nothing to show off; But if we regard ourselves as a person, the value we have will often be compared with our own value. This is why we should "look back" and "look left". Therefore, when we face different temptations, or when we face different temptations, we must always keep sober and firm ideals and beliefs, be positive, optimistic and enterprising, and persevere.
Three. The Analects of Confucius
Confucius said, "Learning without thinking is useless, and thinking without learning is dangerous. A person's real knowledge lies in knowing what he knows and what he doesn't know. I don't know what I don't know and I don't know what I don't know. Make it bigger and take the small fruit as a mirror; Seeing the good in the middle is contentment. Too big to be cured is also shameless. " ("The Analects of Confucius") "With copper as a mirror, you can wear clothes; Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; Take people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses. It's a matter of opinion. "
1 The Analects of Confucius is the earliest Confucian classic in China.
According to legend, Confucius' disciples are Zeng Shen, Yan Yuan, Zi Si, Ceng Zi and Xia Zi. In order to inherit the ideological heritage of Confucius, according to the words and deeds experience of his disciples, they used their wisdom to write classics. This book takes the Confucian "benevolence" as the central point of view and systematically expounds the role and significance of "benevolence" in the whole realm of life. The Analects of Confucius takes "the benevolent Leshan" as its basic concept. Mencius said: "You can't forget your worries with joy. Those who are happy and forget their worries. " The ideas expressed by "music" in the Analects of Confucius, such as "being happy without lewdness", "being happy without disorder" and "dealing with the evil of others", are "the most enjoyable"; For example, a gentleman's love for others is "supreme goodness"; Confucius, on the other hand, used "supreme goodness" to describe people's "supreme happiness" state.
2. There are eight articles in The Analects of Confucius, and Confucius put forward the ideas of "benevolence" and "benevolence, courtesy and wisdom".
Confucius advocated that "benevolence" is the origin of all things in the universe and the common source of all things in the universe. "Benevolence" requires people to know how to get along with others, be kind, kind, respectful, law-abiding, cultivate one's morality, keep the family in order, govern the country and level the world. Confucius believes that the goodness of human nature is more important than all good and evil. Confucius said, "People are also benevolent; Righteousness is the foundation of human beings and ministers; Wise men are the foundation of human beings; Benevolent people love! Those who love others will always love others; Respect, people will always respect it; Love, love ... "How should people treat others? Confucius put forward six aspects of "benevolence": remember benevolence and treat others with courtesy; Be selfless and kind; Care and respect for others; Unity of knowing and doing, doing good and accumulating virtue; "Take copper as a mirror", you can dress appropriately; Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; Take people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses.
3. The Analects of Confucius is also one of China's most important philosophical works.
The important content of Confucianism mainly includes the following three aspects: Confucius' knowledge is regarded as "a question from a university", that is, he learned much more than others. Confucius' learning methods and moral cultivation can be put in the present words, that is, "knowing it but not knowing why" (Analects of Confucius. ), this is the idea of "knowing why" and "knowing why" adopted by Confucius in the country where he lived. The way and thought of moral cultivation advocated by him later became the value orientation and moral standard advocated by Confucianism but not respected.
Fourth, Mencius
Mencius said, "Educate talents in the world. No one is not virtuous and can do his best. " I hope you understand the meaning of this sentence. Not because you are from the royal family or how noble you are, nor because of how noble your ambition is! But because you have enough knowledge and confidence to do these things! To do anything, we must first have the idea of "benevolence"!
1, "Scholars have a long way to go to strive for self-improvement" ("Mencius")
Almost all people who have no ambition are dead! The gentleman is poor, but not poor; Being poor and helping others is the pillar of perseverance. What's wrong with being poor and strong? The key to poverty is to be poor and be strong. A gentleman's wealth does not admit defeat, and a powerful person does not admit defeat!
2. "Everyone knows and doesn't learn, or although they can do their best, they can't."
The deeper you know, the clearer you don't know. If so, although you can do your best, you can't. If you know, you don't know! "-"Dedicated Mencius "Note:" Dedicated Mencius "and" Zhuangzi Tianxia "have been handed down from generation to generation.
3. "One day as a teacher, life as a father" ("Mencius with all my heart")
Mencius said: "Being a man is also a son, and being a man is also a doer." I don't know if you have heard that "children laugh in the fields and parents cry in class". Why? Are parents busy in the fields? Don't my parents care about me anymore? Shouldn't I be happy?
4. "Old people are old, old people are old, young people are young, young people are young" ("Mencius Li Lou")
I take the world as my responsibility, old but not young, young but not guessing, old but not impartial, young but not friends, old but not impartial, so I am not old. If you want to take the world as your responsibility, you will accomplish nothing; If you want to be famous, why not? This sentence was put at the end because Mencius wanted to extend people's life span to 70 years old and change people from "meat eaters" to "meat eaters"; Turn people from hungry "eating meat" into people who can share weal and woe; Save people from poverty, disease, disability and death. Mencius also added "I am old, people are old". In fact, this sentence has always emphasized respecting the old and loving the young, but now many people are talking about respecting the old and loving the young! Respecting the old and loving the young is not only reflected in the mouth, but also in life!
5. "Heaven is strong, a gentleman strives for self-improvement and dies with a kite" ("Mencius Li Lou")
Heaven is always there, and there is no danger and no righteousness. Just as celestial bodies maintain vitality through movement, a gentleman should constantly pursue self-improvement. If a person wants to make a difference, he must first continue to be upward and beautiful. Where is a person's ambition? I am working hard for my life! The ancients said, "A gentleman is determined but not determined, and nothing can be achieved in the world ..." So everyone must study hard and continue to struggle!
In my opinion, although there are many ancient texts, works such as "Persuade to Learn", "Zi Si", "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius" have positive significance. Learning them is of great help to our self-cultivation, speech and growth in future life. It doesn't mean that we should read all the ancient prose, but refine its connotation, which will help our later life.
