Pure-same but not miscellaneous-harmonious but different.
Li Baijian, a professor at Shanghai University said.
Now is a colorful era. Scientifically, a hundred schools of thought contend; In art, a hundred flowers blossom; Eat red, yellow, blue, white and black, mixed with five colors; Wear a suit, jeans, exposed navel, fashion mix and match; Living in tall buildings, houses and villas, colorful; Even recreational activities such as rock climbing, bungee jumping and camping are pouring in. The golf played by nobles has "flown into the homes of ordinary people"!
What a "miscellaneous" word!
I have experienced an era that is not "miscellaneous" but extremely "pure"-the decade of the Cultural Revolution that was almost forgotten by people. At that time, everything was "pure" and "spotless". The whole society demands purity, advocates purity, and everything should be consistent, unified, unitary and unified.
Uniform clothing: all are Chinese tunic suit and military casual clothes with the same style and similar color;
Consistency of eating: due to low productivity, everyone's daily necessities, bean products and even new year's goods are rationed in the same variety and quantity; Living the same: the structure, color, corridor and room of the house are surprisingly similar, even the toilet, electric lampshade and light switch are all carved in the same mold; Unity of aesthetic entertainment: the people of the whole country have enjoyed the feast of model operas for ten years; The worst or scariest thing is that ideas cost one yuan: hundreds of millions of people are not allowed to think independently. There can only be one conclusion about the right or wrong of all questions. Whoever has his own ideas and wants to publish them and communicate with others will be finished. He was either cut to death or driven crazy!
Confucius once said a famous saying, "Gentlemen are harmonious but different, while villains are at odds".
During the Cultural Revolution, there was too much pursuit of "identity", so there was also "disharmony". Everyone is wearing a Chinese tunic suit. You are wearing a plaid shirt and jeans. You are completely different. Can you accommodate me?
Everyone says that the emperor wore beautiful new clothes, but you say that the emperor went into battle shirtless, which is totally heresy. Is it up to you?
Too much pursuit of similarity! As a result, people are more jealous, more intolerant, more struggling and more discordant.
Too much pursuit of similarity! As a result, people are accustomed to more conformity, less creation, more conservatism and less enterprising.
After the reform and opening up, the country opened wide, advocating novelty, advocating reverse thinking, attacking herd mentality and opposing mindset. So everyone is creative and enterprising. The thought, reform, development and creation of "miscellaneous" have come together and reflected each other, forming a great situation of letting a hundred flowers blossom!
This word "miscellaneous" is different and fresh! Interestingly, in this "different" situation, people "harmony" rather than "fight".
If you make a fortune in clothing, I will find another way to engage in toys, which will interweave the same interest competition, with rich profits and harmonious relations; You became famous for studying literature, and I abandoned the "Ba (Jin) Lao (She) Cao (Yu)" to engage in the tertiary industry and cultivate fertile virgin land, which was fruitful!
The result of "harmony" and "difference" is not "pure" but "miscellaneous", that is, everyone has become a modest gentleman!
Today, we should have a deeper understanding of the meaning of "miscellaneous"
Learn to be "miscellaneous": because only "miscellaneous" can have the blending and collision between disciplines, thus producing new thinking fission; Make friends "miscellaneous", make more friends, "learn from others" and tolerate others, and you will have more friends and interests; Life is a bit "miscellaneous", so why not cross a new field and learn something new, so that you won't be "throbbing", "frowning" and "haggard".
Yes! Miscellaneous, the original is the true nature. Miscellaneous should also be the spiritual pursuit of human beings returning to nature! //
2. My understanding of The Analects of Confucius is superficial. When I skimmed Professor Dan Tai's book, I thought of The Analects of Confucius, "Gentlemen are harmonious but different, villains are not harmonious". From the village chief's perception of this point from his blog, his fine taste deeply felt the truth contained in it. Classics are endowed with philosophy.
"Gentleman's harmony is different, villain's harmony is different" is a Confucian thought, which comes from The Analects of Lutz, meaning that a gentleman corrects others' wrong views with his own opinion, and everything is just right, but he does not blindly agree; Little people always blindly agree and refuse to express their opinions.
A harmonious person has no grumpy heart. The same person means Abby. Because there is no grumpy heart, there can be harmony and coordination between gentlemen. On the contrary, because of Abby's intention, people echo each other's wishes and flatter them.
"The gentleman's heart is different from what he sees, so it is different; The villain likes the same, but each seeks its own benefits, so it is not harmonious. " This is Yanhe's interpretation of this sentence in The Analects of Confucius. Since ancient times, people have been interacting with each other, and so has the distinction between gentlemen and villains. A gentleman thinks the same thing in his heart, but he doesn't always behave the same outside. For example, they all work for the country, the people and the world, and some people seek wisdom and reward as officials; Some people teach people and fall in love with others. This difference can lead to harmony; Although villains have the same hobbies, conflicts will inevitably arise because of their respective interests. This similarity leads to disharmony.
How to get along with each other and how to treat different viewpoints is a topic of discussion and debate. For example, everything in the world has its own law of development, and people's ideas will not be exactly the same. It is these different things or ideas that collide with each other and learn from each other, so that generate can generate new inspiration and wisdom, seek "harmony" in a diversified society without losing its unique and innovative views, and the world we live in will continue to develop. ...
Great wise men often seek common ground while reserving differences. To be a gentleman is to have a mind and a spirit of adhering to principles. On the issue of principle, everyone makes their views clear. After discussion or argument, they can always reach an agreement and are less stubborn. They are good at learning from others and making up for their own shortcomings. Such people make rapid progress and are easy to get along with.
When mediocre people get together, they all have their own interests in mind and serve each other's interests, so in order to get their own benefits, they will quickly integrate their feelings and loyalty. Therefore, mediocre people are afraid of hurting their feelings when they are together, and they will have doubts about each other because of their ulterior motives. But if people betray each other, they will argue endlessly for their own interests and trivial matters, and their hearts are not in one place. Mediocre people are generally self-righteous and proud of their achievements; Defiant, it seems that people all over the world are under them, they can't listen to other people's opinions, and they can't see other people's advantages and their own shortcomings. Faced with difficulties, they either walk away or shirk. At present, their interests are fragmented and they are not good at solving them according to the situation and twists and turns. Therefore, the gathering of mediocre people is basically like-minded and loyal, but it can't last long, and it is difficult to reach the realm of harmony and difference between gentlemen.
In the process of pursuing social development, the wise always pursue harmony, so they tolerate differences and achieve harmony in diversity; Mediocre people always insist on consistency and often conflict because they can't tolerate differences. A gentleman should adhere to principles, and adhering to principles and communication are contradictory. How to harmoniously unify the dialectical relationship between principles and communication requires a broad mind and an understanding of right and wrong. A gentleman can't do it at all and can't do it well. Therefore, gentlemen together, although opinions and viewpoints are often different, can always achieve * * * knowledge through communication and struggle, and can get along for a long time.
To understand things and arguments, there must be different ideas and cultural opposites. Opponents will object to everything their opponents say. Supporters will support all the remarks made with them. In the end, opposing for the sake of opposing and supporting for the sake of supporting completely lost the original meaning of the argument. Therefore, for those who disagree, there are fierce words and innuendo; In the same spirit, praise and praise, praise and praise; And with both sides, what is there?
In China, the idea of "harmony but difference" has existed for a long time. Since the Zhou Dynasty, there has been a saying that "harmony is different and not continuous". Concept, everything in the world is rich and colorful, different from life and pregnancy. This is the dialectical relationship between harmony and difference. Zhang Zai once had a struggle for peace, an image, a right, and a right. There is a saying, revenge must be repaid, and revenge must be reconciled. Therefore, harmony and reconciliation are the general trend of world coexistence, coexistence and development. As the Doctrine of the Mean says, all things coexist without harming each other, and the Tao runs parallel without contradicting each other. China people's national character is to tolerate others, maintain their own personality and tolerate others' differences. What history has left to China people is the philosophy of "harmony without difference", and history has also proved its long-term vitality.
In the Analects of Confucius, there are "gentlemen don't belong to the party" and "weeks don't compare", all based on the above meaning. It is emphasized that only under the premise of maintaining individual independence and particularity can the harmony between people and even the whole society be truly realized.
There is an old saying in China that "Tao changes at any time".
Everything in the world is relative and dialectical. No matter the artillery fire in wartime or the official, civil and commercial affairs in peacetime, we can't stick to the rules, because things are constantly developing and changing, and people and things must keep pace with the times in the social development with changing times and roads, otherwise society and people have no choice but to go backwards.
"The gentleman is harmonious but different, and the villain is not harmonious." Gentleman and villain are not absolute, but relative. The so-called "reading a book together, each receiving its own olympiad." Doing a topic together has its own beauty. "It's all about people, and it's always uneven. Therefore, gentlemen and villains are not born or eternal, but can be transformed into each other. While adhering to the principle, we should have a gentleman's broad mind and a wise mind to distinguish right from wrong. However, the villain has a clear mind, and can realize the truth of being a man in social practice, learn from the strengths of others, make up for his own shortcomings, constantly correct his own shortcomings and make continuous progress, so that the villain will become a gentleman. Then, we can find that the stones are strange and varied, but once the wall is built, the style will be harmonious and unified, and once the road is paved, it will be like an organic whole. This is probably the perfect combination of spear and shield.
"Holding its two ends and using it for the people" means grasping the opposite of contradiction and standing in a neutral position, which is the unity and coordinated development of contradiction.
Feeling that "gentlemen are harmonious but different, villains are the same but not harmonious", we constantly update our concepts in the profound philosophy of the ancients to adapt to the development of society.
