My words are ancient. The earliest known word "I", namely "I" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, is a special form. Therefore, contemporary mainland Chinese character experts believe that the original meaning of "I" is a. Japanese scholars believe that "I" is an ancient saw according to the sawtooth characteristics of Oracle Bone Inscriptions's sword. Both views have some truth, but neither can explain the meaning of "my words are mine", which is unconvincing. If we compare Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Ge, we will find that some Ge characters are only located at the bottom of the handle even if they have three positive faces (sawtooth). ? ), and only "I", its three fronts must be located above the knife. Based on this, I think Ge is the earliest and most commonly used weapon in human history. The Chinese nation has improved it-it has processed three fronts at the top, which is unique to its own nation for a period of time. The shape of this weapon refers to the Chinese nation itself.
According to archaeological findings, there were many tribal sites before Xia and Shang Dynasties. About 4200 to 3500 years ago, due to the intensification of wars between tribes, the number of large-scale tribes (sites) suddenly decreased (declined), and a few larger tribes (sites) appeared at the same time. During this period, the Chinese nation gained advantages by virtue of advanced agricultural planting technology and weapons manufacturing technology, and rose in the Central Plains from then on. The weapon that appeared at the same time as Ge was a shotgun. Tie the knife into a bow and the axe into a shotgun. Yue is heavier than Ge and has a high status. Those who fight are for me, and those who hold lottery tickets are for summer. Because the axe is heavy, it cannot be easily controlled by strong, tall and powerful people. So in ancient times, the king used an axe (the king of Oracle Bone Inscriptions was an axe) and used an axe in summer. Xia in Oracle Bone Inscriptions is a tall, powerful and wealthy warrior. Because of the carelessness in summer, later generations used it to describe tall buildings. Therefore, the title of the core ethnic group of the Chinese nation is "Xia".
Unlike the tribal leader in the lottery, he used my ordinary soldiers. It is these ordinary China soldiers that constitute my connotation. Among the discovered Oracle Bone Inscriptions, I refer to a military and strategic collective, namely our side. There is no sense of personal self. It is my original intention in the title of "Friend or Foe". So I have no self.
? The word "zi" can't be found in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, but the word "zi" with personal meaning can't fully represent the first person's self. You can be yourself or yourself. Thus, it is a prominent traditional feature of the Chinese nation to despise individuals and emphasize collectivism.
Out of self-caution, China people invented the most complicated title of "I" in the world. I, Wu, Yu, fool, Yu, thief, me, my generation, I bow my head, humble, humble, old-fashioned, my wife, grandfather, aunt, old lady, me, this lady, this lady, me, my husband, villain, small, small, niche. ?
Although China people are very cautious about addressing me, China's traditional ethics is self-centered and constructed from the inside out. The three cardinal guides and the five permanent members are undoubtedly its most representative interpersonal relationship and values.
It is this concept and tradition of China people that has shaped China into a patriarchal society, a human society and a relational society. Psychological research has found that when people in China introduce themselves, they often introduce their own interpersonal and social relations (attributes) rather than their own natural attributes. The most famous sentence in recent years is: My father is Li Gang.
As far as the animal kingdom is concerned, being able to realize oneself is a manifestation of wisdom. The study of me, my will, my rights and interests and my relationship with others runs through philosophy and is also the core of contemporary humanism, humanism and humanitarianism.
Seven famous sayings are engraved on the temple of Apollo in the ancient Greek city of Delphi. Among them, there is only one sentence that has the widest spread and the deepest influence, so that it is considered to have ignited the spark of Greek civilization, and that is: "Man, know yourself".
"Know yourself" is also the core content of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle's philosophical system.
Kant divides ego into ego and ego. Self is the real me; Self is the ideal me. He believes that the deep cause of people's anxiety and pain lies in their inability to act according to their ideal self.
Schopenhauer believes that the fundamental reason that determines individual behavior is individual will. Nietzsche introduced the determinism of individual free will.
Freud divided me into id, ego and superego according to the dimensions of life stages and levels and the mechanism of consciousness. Id follows the principle of happiness, ego follows the principle of reality, and superego realizes the moral principle.
Eriksson's personality development theory divides the formation of self-consciousness into eight stages, emphasizing the influence of environment and encounter.
Piaget's cognitive development theory emphasizes the importance of the interaction between personal experience and environment.
Sartre, the master of existentialism, called his thought "a kind of humanitarianism", but his understanding of human nature was extremely pessimistic. One of his famous sentences is: "Others are hell (devil)".
? If life is a play, psychologists believe that there are me at the front desk (in front of people) and me at the back desk (behind people); Subjective (self-cognition) self and objective (others' cognition) self. Mainstream psychology believes that in self-cognition, the influence of others' cognition on individual self-cognition is inversely proportional to individual maturity.
? Carl jung, Freud's former ally, parted ways with the former because of his opposition to the theory of sexual motivation. The personality analysis psychology he founded defines the personality prototype as four types: personality mask, Anima (female side of male psychology), animus (male side of female psychology) and shadow (the most hidden and mysterious part of the spirit). Jung's theory was deeply influenced by Freud's psychoanalysis and Schopenhauer's thinking mirror theory. Like Schopenhauer, he appreciates Buddhism very much, and thinks that Buddhism has dual functions of religion and psychology, which is a "pure and reasonable religion" and "the most systematic education of extreme consciousness". His theory of collective unconsciousness is particularly important for understanding the national character of China people who particularly emphasize collectivism. The so-called collective unconsciousness is simply a psychological precipitation of countless similar experiences passed down from generation to generation by all members of a certain race, and it can be passed down from generation to generation precisely because there is a corresponding social structure as the pillar of this collective unconsciousness. Jung believes that collective unconsciousness becomes the initial and default state of consciousness of individuals in a genetic way, which deeply affects people's behavior. Like the original meaning of the word "I", it is a collective identity and position that affects everyone in the "I" camp.
Although China is traditionally cautious about talking about personal ego, all religions and thoughts in China revolve around tangible and intangible ego. Taoism focuses on coordinating the relationship between me and nature, trying to achieve my immortality through "Tao". This tradition can be seen in all kinds of health care fever at present.
Confucianism pays attention to coordinating my relationship with others, and advocates balanced interpersonal and social relations as well as responsibilities, rights and obligations. The Chinese nation regards it as an orthodox value concept and has built and maintained a strong and prosperous social order for two thousand years. Moreover, the endogenous cultural impetus of China's economic development in the past 30 years of reform and opening-up also comes from this. Otherwise, it cannot explain the fact that all countries in the traditional Confucian cultural circle are in the forefront of regional economy.
Buddhism, on the other hand, points directly at people's hearts, and thoroughly solves the fundamental contradiction between me and myself, between me and others, and between me and the outside world through the wisdom of Prajna. With the help of Vipassana, self-will is denied, so as to realize the complete liberation of individuals.
? Now, maybe it is the strongest period of self-awareness in China's history. The only-child generation, from small to large, is a family monarch and princess, which not only has an unparalleled sense of superiority, but also pursues the realization of individuality. This is undoubtedly good news for integrating into the value system of modern civilization.
