Chengmen Sydney used to mean that students are educated with respect, but now it means that teachers are respected. Metaphor is eager to learn and respect learned old people. The idiom comes from the Biography of Shi Yang in Song Dynasty: "Yes, you Zuo and Yang were forty years old when they met Cheng Yi in Luo. I can't sit still when I see H one day, but Youzuo can't stand the time. By the time I felt it, the snow outside the door was already a foot deep. "

"Lu Chunqiu? Where is Meng? "Learning depends on respecting teachers", which means that it is very important to respect teachers and attach importance to teaching if you want to learn knowledge quickly.

Luoyang was once the ruling center of the Zhou Dynasty, with a large number of simplified books, books and documents, and it was the cultural gathering place of the Zhou Dynasty. At that time, Laozi was appointed as the guardian of Tibetan history of the country. Confucius went to Luoyang to ask Laozi for advice in order to understand the source of rites and music and the return of morality.

On the second day in Luoyang, Confucius went to the Tibetan History Museum on foot to visit Laozi. After seeing Laozi, Confucius hurried forward, respectfully saluted one of Laozi's apprentices, and said, "I have little knowledge and know nothing about ancient etiquette, so I ask my teacher for advice." Seeing that Confucius was so sincere, Lao Tzu expounded his views in detail.

Shi Yang, a scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty, and his friend in his forties, You Zuo, went to Cheng Yi for advice, and happened to bump into Cheng Yi taking a nap in the house. Shi Yang advised Youzuo not to wake up the teacher, so they stood quietly at the door, waiting for the teacher to wake up. After a while, it snowed heavily, the more urgent it was. Shi Yang and Youzuo were still standing in the snow. Youzuo was too cold to stand up. He tried to wake Cheng Yi several times, but Shi Yang stopped him. When Cheng woke up, he found two "snowmen" outside. [ 1]

Etiquette is a code of conduct for self-discipline and respect for others, and a process and means to show respect and understanding for others. The ancients said, "If you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand." Civilized etiquette is not only the embodiment of personal quality and education, but also the embodiment of personal morality and social morality.

It's snowing at home is about a snowy day. You Zuo and others go to visit their teacher Cheng Yi. Cheng Yi was sleeping, and they stood outside the door for a long time. The snow outside the door is a foot deep, and they "turn into snowmen and don't go." In this way, on the one hand, people feel "really valuable" for the "spirit of respecting teachers and valuing Taoism" of Shi Yang and others; On the other hand, I have some opinions about Mr. Cheng Yi. It's so cold and snowy that students stand outside the door for so long, but they won't let in. Cheng Yi is "putting on airs", which is too much.

Study should be persistent.

Learn from others and be sincere and dedicated.

Have a firm belief and are not afraid of hardship.

During 10, they went to Wan Li Road, consulted millions of words of historical materials, and traveled all over Huangpi and surrounding areas. After verification, it is confirmed that the descendants of "Cheng Cheng" living in Huangpi are indeed direct. They came to Huangpi from their grandfather when he was rejuvenating the country in Song Taiping. By 2004, there were 40 generations of descendants living in 35 bay groups in Huangpi, with as many as 6.5438+0.5 million people. There are also a few descendants of "Ercheng" who live in Fengshan Town of Xiaochang County and Ercheng Town of Hong 'an County.

Their paper "An Investigation on the Humanistic Resources of Master Huang Bei of Cheng" has also attracted the attention of American and British sinologists, praising the two old people for opening up new horizons for the study of Cheng's Neo-Confucianism.

"Cheng Zi's reading desk is located in the east of the county seat, Wuli, where Cheng Cheng studied during the Song and Qing Dynasties." Cheng Zi's reading desk, also known as "Phoenix Desk", is said to have a phoenix in Donggang in the fourth year of Yonghe, Jin Mu (348), hence its name. Cheng has studied and lived in Huangpi for eighteen years. He usually reads on his desk, so he is also called Cheng Tai. "Its building is called jathyapple Building, the windows are empty, the scenery is clear, there is no dense fireworks in the house, and there is no noise from chickens and dogs with children. It is sincere and enlightened, and the Ilo school is also based on Xiaogan. " After the age of eighteen, Cheng Yi traveled to Ilo, went to imperial academy, studied under Zhou Dunyi, and wrote books such as Yan Zi Xue Lun, and gradually established a famous Neo-Confucianism school in the Northern Song Dynasty, forming a unique Neo-Confucianism, whose theory was highly praised by many famous Confucian scholars in Yan Shuo.

The original meaning of "standing in front of Cheng Yi in the snow" is: standing in front of it. Used to describe respecting teachers and asking for advice sincerely.

Cheng Yi, a real uncle, is also called Mr. Yichuan. He and his brother Cheng Hao were both famous Neo-Confucianists and educators in the Northern Song Dynasty, and were called Cheng Er by the world. They come from an official family. Brother Cheng Hao is Bochun and has lived in Luoyang for a long time to give lectures. Cheng Yi has been giving lectures and writing books for more than 30 years. Cheng's thoughts have their own emphases. Cheng Hao wrote Quality Book, Understanding Benevolence and so on. , and Cheng Yi handed down from generation to generation are Yi Zhuan and Yan Zi's How to Learn. Because the two men agreed on major issues, their thoughts and speeches were not subdivided by later generations, so their quotations and works were merged into "Two Cheng Quan Shu".

Cheng's hometown. There is still a stone tablet in the east of the village, which says "imperial edict" and "hometown of Ercheng". There is still a two-way temple in the village. There is a school and two lecture halls in the temple, and the story of "Chengmen Sydney" happened here.

Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi put forward a set of philosophical thoughts on the basis of previous Neo-Confucianism. They believe that the origin of the world is "Tao" and everything originates from "Tao". If the king wants to govern the country well, he must "go by the way", give priority to morality and give consideration to the rule of law. These thoughts formed their own family and system. Later generations called the ideological system they founded the Arrow School. Later, after Zhu's advocacy, research and deepening, Cheng Zhu's Neo-Confucianism finally developed into Neo-Confucianism.
