In today's society, the so-called Confucius and Mencius and Laozi and Zhuangzi are getting farther and farther away from people, and the sages and classics are gradually blurred. The vulgarity and complexity of the complicated world and the nobility and purity of thought seem to lack some necessary connections. Professor Yu Dan interprets classics in vernacular, wisdom in classics, and the Analects of Confucius more than two thousand years ago with a modern person's understanding of society, life and life. Once the gray Confucius is associated with this colorful world, he gives birth to a pure positive attitude, which is the sublimation of moral character and emotional wisdom. Reading Yu Dan's The Analects of Confucius, I appreciate such wisdom, a wisdom to treat my own gains and losses correctly, a wisdom to treat my friends rationally, a mentality, and a rational morality that blends into the present society.
"Everyone will inevitably have regrets and disappointments in his life. Maybe we can't change this fact, but what we can change is the attitude towards these things. " One of the essences of Yu Dan's The Analects of Confucius is to tell us how to treat the deficiency and suffering in life with a peaceful attitude. "If you cry because you missed the sun, you will also miss the stars." Admit the deficiency of reality and make up for it through your own efforts. This is what The Analects of Confucius tells us about the attitude towards life's shortcomings.
It is often said that you depend on your parents at home and your friends when you go out. Friends are the most important thing in the social environment, and you can see your own shadow from your friends. In fact, what kind of friends a person has in his life directly reflects what kind of person he is. A good friend is a book, and he can open the whole world to you. We often say that birds of a feather flock together. What kind of person you only need to observe his social circle, from such external environment, you can see his own internal value orientation.
Usually I always like to read some pure literature books, the purpose is to purify my mind and clean up my inner impetuousness. However, this kind of attention transfer with the help of external forces is far from being calm from the inside out because of "three provinces to save ourselves". Being able to explain a classic of The Analects in a simple way shows the author's profound attainments in Chinese studies. In the chapter "The Way of a Gentleman", the author gives an incisive explanation to a gentleman. But there is one thing in the book that puzzles me. "The social role of a gentleman is flexible and keeps pace with the times. What matters to a gentleman is not what he does, but the motivation behind what he does. They are the conscience of society. " Judging people by motivation rather than behavior is a fallacy that has long been spurned, which reminds people of indecent words such as defending morality and moral killing. Why did the author put it on his beloved husband? In history, many people have compassion, holding swords and killing people with tears. Are they gentlemen too? I don't know whether to admire or sympathize with the author, a believer in the Analects of Confucius, but I have no intention of saying the hypocrisy of "gentleman"
Ask yourself, I haven't reached the realm of a gentleman. On the long road of life, I will experience with my life, feel with my actions, and have a spiritual dialogue with the sages of the ages with the supreme but simple and pure spirit. 2....； As we all know, The Analects of Confucius is a classic quotation of Confucius compiled by Confucius disciples. What practical significance does it have for our modern society and modern people's lives? Can we still inspire our thoughts today? Can it still touch our hearts today? Recently, I read The Analects of Confucius by Professor Yu Dan of Beijing Normal University, and I felt a lot. Professor Yu Dan interprets the Analects of Confucius from seven aspects: Chinese world outlook, outlook on life, ways of dealing with life, ways of making friends, ways of personality cultivation, ideals and outlook on life. Combining his profound classical cultivation, he uses women's unique delicate feelings.
Don't think that Confucius' Analects of Confucius is out of reach, so we must look up now. The truth of this world is always simple, just like the sun rises in the east every day; Just like sowing in spring and harvesting in autumn. What The Analects tells you is always the simplest. The real meaning of The Analects is to tell everyone how to live a happy life that we need in our hearts. To put it bluntly, The Analects teaches us how to get spiritual happiness in modern life, adapt to daily order and find personal coordinates. This is the enlightenment from Professor Yu Dan's The Analects of Confucius. The book interprets classics in vernacular, wisdom in classics, life in wisdom, humanity in life, and humanity precipitates people's hearts. Through more than 2,000 years in just visiting, we can experience the classic ordinary wisdom. Compared with Yi Zhongtian's Romance of the Three Kingdoms, her language is not as humorous as Yi Zhongtian's, but it is definitely worth thinking about.
Professor Yu Dan's understanding of The Analects of Confucius is based on the way of heaven and earth. Since Pangu created heaven and earth, this change has finally reached a state called "God is in heaven, and holiness is on earth". She said: these six words are actually the personality ideal of China people: there is an idealistic sky, which can soar freely without compromising many rules and obstacles in the real world; He also has the ability to be down-to-earth and expand his behavior in this land. ..... idealism and realism are our worlds. With such a big world outlook, this paper expounds the way of mind, the way of living, the way of being a gentleman and the way of being a friend, and comprehensively interprets the thoughts of Confucius and The Analects and their needs for modern people, ordinary people and modern society.
We have received the Confucian ethical education of "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith" since childhood. From Kong Rong's respect for pears at the age of three to Fan Zhongyan's sense of hardship, which is "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the world later", all show the inseparable infiltration of Confucianism in the process of national growth. For thousands of years, the world is still willing to respect Confucius and take his words as the motto and the principle of self-cultivation. I think this has something to do with Confucius' "Being straightforward and serving people, why not!" It is closely related to thought.
The Analects of Confucius finally conveys an attitude, a simple and warm attitude towards life. Taste life, cultivate one's morality and cultivate one's sentiment, the purpose of which is to spend this reincarnation in a happy life. Live with an indifferent attitude, an open mind, a detached temperament and a relaxed attitude, and integrate your emotions and life into a natural state. Only in this way can you remain pure to your ancestors and find inner peace, just like Confucius taught us the secret of a happy life.
After several nights of comfortable reading, I think Yu Dan's The Analects is undoubtedly a good book. Because she gave me too many feelings, I had a close contact with a saint in my busy modern life. This once praised saint was treated by heaven and earth because of the change of sovereignty in successive dynasties. However, the truth in his mouth is so eternal. This time, he gave us a spiritual baptism and the growth of human nature through the mouth of Professor Yu Dan. Of course, it is relatively easy and rich to read The Analects and gain insights from other people's experiences. Writing these feelings into words is really endless. Below I will share with you a few feelings that are very beneficial to my work and study.
I remember teacher Yu Dan telling such a story in the book: there is a very beautiful statue of Buddha carved with granite in a temple. Many people come to worship in front of the statue every day, and the steps leading to this statue are also granite collected from the same mountain. The steps protested against the statue unconvinced and said, "We are brothers. Why should people step on us and worship you?" What's so great about you? The Buddha simply said: because you only took four knives to get here today, and I took thousands of knives to become a Buddha ... a simple story woke me up like a dream. As a college graduate who has just stepped into his post, he is often full of resentment about some arrangements in his work. He always thinks, I can do that, too. Why do you just let me do this boring job? I don't think it's personal. We often hear such complaints from our friends at the reunion after graduation. I think the more important problem is that our mind is not open enough, and we lack the depth and open-minded attitude to think about problems. We are eager for success and blindly compare with others. We always compare ourselves with others' disappointments, and we can't accept others' glories. Yes, how well the book is written. The Buddha statue can be worshipped by thousands of people because it has passed thousands of tests. As a young worker, we still have a lot of experience to accumulate and skills to test. How can you be so impetuous? This is what The Analects of Confucius brought me.
There is another one that impressed me deeply. Zi Gong said, "Poor but not flattering, rich but not arrogant?" Confucius said, "Yes, if you are not poor, you will be happy. It is good to give gifts if you have money. " Zi Gong said, "As the poem says, it is incisive and polished. What is it? " Confucius said, "If you give it, you can speak in poetry. Tell people who know the past. " What does Confucius call a higher realm of life? A person is not only content with poverty, not only does not flatter, Dont Ask For Help helps, but also has a clear joy in his heart. This kind of happiness will not be deprived by a poor life, nor will it be arrogant because of being rich. He is still a happy, rich and polite gentleman. What a high pride this is! Although it embodies feudalism and Confucianism, it attracts and shocks me that a person can keep his dignity and inner happiness in poverty without being bewitched by a rich life. Many people may say that this is just talk, and no one can do it! When I think about it, I sadly find that I can't convince people with this idea with facts. However, this natural, peaceful and positive attitude is definitely worth pursuing. Only those who are willing to accept imitating the mentality of saints can become truly extraordinary and successful. Our thoughts always determine our actions. How wide our hearts are, how wide our roads are. In today's impetuous social atmosphere, as a young man, we must learn this peaceful mentality to create a better and brighter tomorrow!
The wisdom of a saint is the wisdom of a saint. I am so happy after tasting it; The wisdom of a saint is the wisdom of a saint after all. After tasting it, I find myself so inadequate. Fortunately, there is such a book, a lamp guiding me and alerting me. Keep me awake when I'm in a hurry. I believe that inner growth is the growth of human nature, and only when human nature grows can I become an extraordinary person. I will use the wisdom of saints to guide my work, study and life, and I will also use the inner warmth of saints to illuminate the whole life!
