"Humanism" refers to caring for others, especially those who are disadvantaged, such as saving lives. Naturally, "humanitarianism" should refer to a kind of compassion and kindness from the source, and treat everyone with a mentality that conforms to people's status and self-esteem. "Humanism" mainly refers to a kind of culture, art, education, loyalty and forgiveness, and a kind of self-value and perfection that I have achieved according to this loyalty and forgiveness. The two levels of "humanitarianism" and "humanism" are naturally consistent with "humanity", and they just show two basic levels of humanity: one is the development trend itself, and the other is the concern for others; One is the most focused, and the other is the least loved.
So from the form of historical time, what does this "humanity" that pursues human perfection with all kinds of maximum probability include? What kind of person is it dedicated to shaping?
In western countries, "humanism" can not be separated from ancient Greece, especially Athens. Perikles once proudly said that "Athens is the institution of Greece", and "Greece" is still the institution of Europe and the institution of the people.
The humanistic education of the ancient Greeks was an education for all citizens of China, and it was also an education undertaken by themselves. If a person wants to be an extraordinary person who completes human nature, he should be educated like that from an early age, and even be willing to work hard and spare money in this matter.
The information of this kind of education can be divided into primary stage and popularization stage. In the initial stage, there are mainly two levels of practice: one is theoretical songs, including poetry, drama performance and other artistic schools; The second is sports culture, where the pursuit of perfection is not one-sided physical quality and record, but the all-round balance and aestheticism of the human body. The more advanced skills are language learning grammar, rhetorical logic, mathematical geometry, etc., and the biggest one is learning and training materialist dialectics and philosophical thoughts.
China is also a "humanistic" country in history, in other words, "humanistic education". In ancient China, the important content of children's reading was "six arts", namely, ceremony, music, shooting, imperial, writing and counting. Their necessity is probably sorted in this order, and the higher the front, the more critical. If "book" and "number" are the primary and secondary education for learning to read, write and multiply, the owners of "shooting" arrows and "riding" should exercise their physical fitness and martial arts; "Rite" and "Music" are the keys to all education, among which "Rite" mainly involves education in ethics, politics, history and time, while "Music" includes literary creation such as songs, national dances and poems.
The most important thing is that this kind of learning and training skills is not to be better used as a "skill" for making a living or a more developed way to make money. They are based on people's own health.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a certain balance among various skills and distinguish between core skills and main skills. For these primary and secondary skills, don't selfishly pursue perfection, especially the perfection that directly affects other levels. The dream of "humanistic" education is lofty, elegant and meticulous. Because people are detailed and the whole world is detailed, people can't cut themselves off unilaterally or do organic chemistry. As the saying goes, "a gentleman is useless."
Perhaps courage should be specifically mentioned here. Because "humanity" sometimes seems to give people the impression of "weakness", and it seems that they have been getting along with books in bookstores, but "humanity" is not a "scholar". As you can see from the practice resources of the ancients above, there are also many contents of practicing the human body and beliefs. Socrates is not only clever, but also brave. After the development trend of China's "humanistic" tradition, it is indeed a bit too weak, and it may have been buried in books for too long. Therefore, people will expect it to be wilder, more youthful and more heroic.
We must distinguish the necessity of what we are doing and whether this necessity is equal to the cost of our efforts. We should also pay attention to keeping other key aspects of our personality traits from shrinking, and keeping ourselves from being ridiculous to the key aspects of extraordinary culture and art. What I am talking about here is self-cultivation, self-cultivation and taste in culture and art. This kind of self-cultivation and self-cultivation is best cultivated at a young age, especially in the case of colleges and universities. Only by building on self-cultivation here can one's vitality not be one-sided and boring.
