Among them, Wen is a historical document; Behavior is moral practice and political practice; Loyalty is the concrete moral personality accomplishment of moral practitioners. In Confucius' education of students, these four aspects are an inseparable whole. Of course, with the development of the times, some contents are also changing, but the specific kernel has not changed.
Academics make people focus. Historical documents are a kind of academic thinking and a summary and reflection of the whole human story. Essentially, it is an academic research. Academics make people get rid of boredom and reduce mental deficiency. Whether it is insect research, chemical molecular analysis, or electromagnetic wave verification, classic academic questions broaden people's horizons and give growing people a lifetime of thinking.
Without academic spirit, it is impossible to seek true knowledge. Real knowledge exists in clear thinking, at the end of the road to knowledge.
Schopenhauer said: "In his youth, a man with outstanding thoughts began to accumulate materials for his unique cognition and unique basic views, that is, to collect what he was destined to contribute to the world. But it will take time for him to become the master of these materials. Based on this, we find that a great writer usually needs to be around 50 years old to create a masterpiece. "
With the development of modern information technology, it is easier to collect materials, which also leads to many young geniuses and young talents.
Practice makes people clear. Some people say that I have practiced all my life and I still don't know how to soar. There are still many scholars who know a lot about life, but they still can't live a good life. Because of difficulties, the "two-legged bookcase" returned to books, just as the evaluation of Fang Hung-chien in Fortress Besieged said: You are not a bad person, but you are useless.
Practice is practice under the guidance of theory. When faced with problems, we know that limited energy and time can only solve a few problems and we must give up.
The real practice is sinking practice, swimming without clothes, not Versailles style display.
Loyalty makes people realize. Without faith, people will get lost in the secular world. Without loyal cognition, people are like butterflies among flowers, and they can only die in confusion.
Laozi said: "One life is two, two lives are three, and three lives are all things", and one of the explanations for one is loyalty.
Credibility makes people credible. Establishing reputation is a long-term problem, and reputation is a thing that is easily crushed, and it is easy to be completely crushed by things that are inconsistent with words and deeds.
The article solves the problems of academic culture and academic thought, the problems of moral and political practice in practice, and the problems of cultivating good personality and morality in loyalty.
Book knowledge, social practice and moral cultivation are the elements that modern people should have. We should remind ourselves that to be a perfect person, we need to calm down and pay attention to the main problems.
Nietzsche said: "A real educator is to reveal the true and original meaning and basic materials of your existence-these things cannot be changed through education, and it is very difficult to understand these things, because these internal and basic things are firmly imprisoned. Educators just lift these imprisonments for you, and they can't do more for you. This is the secret of education. "
So Confucius is really an educator. Of course, you should also be your own educator.
