"Pear in Cheng Menxue" is about Shi Yang and You Zuo, scholars of the Song Dynasty, asking Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi for advice. Shi Yang and You Zuo studied under Cheng Hao. After Cheng Hao's death, both of them were forty years old and had been admitted to Jinshi. However, they will go to Cheng Yi to continue their studies. The story happened on the day when they first visited Cheng Yi in Songyang Academy.
According to legend, one day, Shi Yang and You Zuo came to Songyang Academy to visit Cheng Yi, and they happened to meet Mr. Cheng, who was taking a nap with his eyes closed. At this time, it began to snow outside. Eager to be a teacher, the two men stood aside respectfully and said nothing. After waiting for a long time, Cheng Yi slowly opened his eyes and saw You Zuo standing in front of him. He was startled and said, "Ah, ah! Are they still there? " At this time, the snow outside has accumulated more than a foot thick, and He Youzuo doesn't look tired and impatient.
This story, called "Cheng Menxue Pear", was widely circulated among scholars in the Song Dynasty. Later, people often used the idiom "Cheng Menxue Pear" to express that scholars should respect their teachers and study sincerely and firmly.
I was deeply moved by Shi Yang and Youzuo's spirit of respecting teachers and seeking advice modestly.
I want to learn from Shi Yang and Youzuo's respect for teachers. Teachers lead us to swim in the ocean of knowledge and weave dreams with us. It is the teacher who teaches us knowledge, the teacher who teaches us to write, and the teacher who teaches us to be human. The teacher grows old day by day, and we grow up day by day. The teacher dedicated his or her youth to us. What a wonderful "spring filariasis will weave until it dies, and candles will drain the wick every night"! We should respect our teachers, care about them, give them a cup of hot tea when they are tired, study hard and be a useful person to our motherland ... Only in this way can our teachers repay our efforts and care. We should keep an open attitude towards learning, so that learning can make continuous progress. Be polite while being modest. When we meet questions we don't understand in our study, we should ask others. Only open-minded people will make continuous progress, and only politeness will be affirmed by others. On the way to school, we should not only be modest, but also be polite. On the contrary, if you are rude and don't treat others well, no one will help you. On the way to school, it is not only important to ask for advice modestly, but also polite.
Reaction to a book or an article
This is an allusion to respecting teachers and stressing morality. The Biography of Shi Yang in the History of Song Dynasty contains: One day, Shi Yang went to visit Cheng Yi, Cheng Yi fell asleep while Yougan stood by, but did not leave. When Cheng Yi woke up, the snow outside was already a foot thick. Only then did they walk on a foot of snow. As a result, the "celebrity anecdote" composed of disciples of famous teachers has become a much-told story and famous allusion in academic circles.
This story is very common in my son's book Idiom Story. He is six and a half years old in grade one this year. The teacher arranged for him to write a review, that is, a few words, for fear that his son would not understand. I kept reminding him why it snows in Shi Yang and who is Cheng Yi in Shi Yang. The son said he was afraid to disturb the teacher's sleep and didn't dare to disturb him. Yes, what a great educational opportunity. Teach him to repay kindness and tell him to be worthy of all those who help him. . . But the son said, can't you find a way that doesn't bother the teacher and make yourself so tired? I see. My son thinks from Shi Yang's point of view. This way of thinking really shocked me.
At one time, children were puzzled by Gong Yu's moving mountains-instead of moving mountains day and night, it would be better to move and go out of the mountains for development than to do things that could not be done in several lifetimes or even dozens of lifetimes. . . . . Some children think that the race between the tortoise and the hare is meaningless. Even a fool knows who runs fast, but he has to compete with boxing in such a cruel scene as America. If the gap between the two sides is too large, the referee will stop the game immediately. I really doubt that the person who organized the race between the tortoise and the hare is crazy. . . .
