A friend met me and asked about Hongdao Academy in small talk, which always caused misunderstanding and thought I was doing something big. In fact, what can a scholar do? I just built a simple library in a poor valley. An ignorant person like me in Shan Ye, who has no intention of being busy, just wants a quiet place to study, and dare not have the ambition of "connecting the past with the future, making the world peaceful". The academy has no scale, let alone any grand artistic conception. Don't say that Hongdao Academy can't touch the ancient charm of the famous Yuelu Academy and Bailudong Academy, and even the word "academy" is far-fetched and can't be far-fetched. In my narrowest understanding, if there are books and academies, they can be called "academies". Ancient academies, starting from the Tang Dynasty, were mostly schools. The place where a person collects books and studies is usually called "study room". I insist on using the name "academy", just admiring the legacy of ancient people's reading. Because the explanation is redundant, I usually don't bother to listen to my friends, just laugh it off, and I will listen to fallacies. I have read it for a long time. Up to now, it is a little insignificant fame, which satisfies the vanity of a frog in the well. When my parents were young, they couldn't afford to read because their families were poor. My false name is a small gift to repay parents' kindness in raising their children, which can comfort parents' desire for success. Now there are a large number of people who have learned a lot and learned about the world. I never thought of keeping up with the joneses. I just want to be an honest scholar, not ignore the eternal cause of reading. Therefore, it is necessary to establish an academy with a clear vision, always tell yourself that you will never forget to study all your life, stay quiet and stay away from it, be a veritable scholar, and never go with the flow and seek fame. This is an antinomy era with rapid economic development and serious moral decline. Nowadays, people study, gain fame and fortune, and even have some tricks. It seems that everyone is harvesting, and everyone is sharpening their heads for money, official position and reputation. It seems endless and never looks back. Reading is based on understanding. As the learning rules of Fuzhou Aofeng Academy say: "If a scholar wants to cultivate himself and be virtuous, he must first distinguish between righteousness and benefit and judge the boundary between right and wrong." And all the schemes of gaining profits, harming others, and abandoning the Tao are enough to discredit and humiliate people who learn and understand, and they cannot be contaminated. Reading is a virtue, and Hongdao is a virtue. I should remain a scholar. Since we dare to use the name of Hongdao College, we must make up our minds to enrich its content with real talents and learning, so that the college can live up to its name. Throughout the ages, many noble families have accumulated virtues; The best character in the world is reading. It is the duty of a scholar to catch up with the predecessors. This is the original intention of building Hongdao Academy. I am ignorant. In my hometown Longyang, I seldom heard of any outstanding celebrities in history. Some people say that Luo Yin's hometown is Dongshan Village, which is seven or eight miles away from the Academy, but most people say that he is a newcomer. In the Tang Dynasty, a scholar named Shi Jian Wu wrote a good poem. Shi Jianwu lives at the junction of Xincheng and Fenshui counties. Both county magistrates said that Shi Jianwu belonged to his own county. The lawsuit hit the capital, and the capital was broken, and both county magistrates rose three levels. Both counties recorded the deeds of Shi Jianwu in the county annals. It is said that Tonglu people spent 2000 yuan the year before last to buy Shi Jianwu's tombstone and ask for Shi's genealogy, which caused another dispute. As for Yu Dafu in Fuyang County and Sun Quan in Huangzhou, Fuyang, they are all hundreds of miles away. There is a Longmen town in Fuyang, which is called "half a row of Confucian forests, salty and rich" in the history of Longmen Sun Shi. From the existing ancient buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, such as Xian Zheng Dian, Mingzhe Dian, Shide Dian, Shenxiu Dian, Huai Su Dian, Chengde Dian and Gengdu Dian, we can imagine their profound connotations. These historical details are far from my hometown, so I can't show them off casually. I was born at the southern foot of Nantianmu Mountain, which is the most secluded place. Dozens of miles of Fiona Fang and Fiona Fang are filled with farmers and Shan Nong. Most people have never seen the world, and some people have never been to Fuyang county and Hangzhou city in their lives. Nantianmu Mountain is a mountain range at the junction of Lin 'an and Fuyang. When the voice is torn open, Fuyang people and Lin 'an people living in Nantianmu can echo each other from a distance. There is a mighty king of money in Lin 'an, and that is my ancestor. According to my family tree, I am the 36th generation descendant of Qian Wang. During Guangxu period, ancestors moved here. In the past, when there was no road, the villagers used to walk to the county seat with their feet, and the delay on the road for a few days really made people who used to drive like me unbearable. The year before last, with the help of my friends and the support of the government, I tried my best to raise funds and built a cement road leading directly to the village. The main traffic road from Fuyang to Lin 'an has already set up an expressway, so now it takes only one and a half hours from Hang Cheng to the Academy, and we have to climb mountains in primary school. Now primary schools in every village go to central primary schools, which makes it even more inconvenient for children to go to school. I carried some good books to the mountains and put them in the academy. Although I didn't waste my vacation visiting relatives, I still insisted on reading, which is also an encouragement for me to study in my hometown. Encouraging after-school study is another intention of my college. Dare to encourage, knowledgeable, everyone's tone, I seem to be suspected of boasting. Maybe I'll take some apprentices to the academy to give lectures and make some school spirit come out. As for why I use the name "Hongdao" to crown the Academy, people who have read a lot probably know that this is from the wise saying of Confucius-"People can be Taoist, but not Taoist", and they will not falsely accuse me of deliberately promoting my name. "Hongdao" is a good word after all. I can't remember where I saw these two sentences: "The husband should govern the country with the monarch, not help the people with the road;" An Qin is a family, not like a road to help the three realms. "In today's moral decline, it is difficult to give up the road for profit; It is difficult to treat physical and mental diseases without giving up the prescription of saints. Although my hometown is a secluded place, in my opinion, it is a very rare quiet place to study, and I can fulfill my ambition as a scholar. I have never understood why some people can be indifferent to their hometown all their lives. When I visited Mao Zedong's former residence last year, I wrote a poem to my father when a teenager in Mao Zedong left his hometown to study: "My child is determined to go to the countryside, or he will die if he fails. Bones don't need to be buried, life is everywhere. "President is not a mortal, is a great man, the world is home. For me, my hometown is unforgettable. I don't know where to find the source of everything. No matter how ordinary my parents are, I can't change them. No matter how poor the hometown is, the kindness of the soil cannot be refused. Every grass and tree in my hometown can arouse my memory and give me the wisdom to be a man and the strength to forge ahead. Compared with noisy, crowded and fidgety cities, a quiet and peaceful hometown is really a rare luxury in life. People who are used to boasting in hotels, offices and cars may disapprove or scoff, but in my opinion, the location and environment of Hongdao College have become a scenic spot. Around the academy, green bamboo forests are connected with the blue sky, and pines are sent from time to time in front of and behind the mountains to cleanse the soul and common customs. In spring, frogs croak in the pond; In summer, cicadas sing one after another. On sunny days, there are white clouds on high days; On rainy days, the top of the mountain is covered with white fog in the distance. You can listen to the rain when you are tired, watch the clouds when you are tired, enjoy the moon when you are worried, climb the mountain when you are yelling, enjoy the spring when you are light, enjoy the fish when you are interested, and lean on the floor when you are idle. Really, everything is beautiful and unhappy. The scholar's mentality is very calm, so what can't be satisfied? Every May Day, National Day, Spring Festival, or alone, or with a small family, or about one or two close friends to the college to post, drink tea, exhibit paintings, write poems, talk about ancient and modern times, it is not humane enough for outsiders. Every year, I hear from my friends that when I was on vacation, places of interest were crowded with people. You push me, he makes me shout. I don't know if I like it. When a person becomes a habit, he is also defeated by habit. A person who watches his mobile phone every day will be fidgety if the phone doesn't ring every day. People who are busy socializing and used to people coming and going will feel lonely and unbearable if no one comes to see him one day. People who are used to playing cards and mahjong will one day find that the days without playing cards and mahjong are really boring. As for me, I can't smoke, drink, play cards or mahjong. When there are no books in my hand, my heart seems empty. You can't sleep without reading a few pages before going to bed. The most painful thing is that the mobile phone can't be turned off, which is a drag on business and human feelings. The most annoying thing is that when I was absorbed in reading and writing articles, my mobile phone suddenly screamed. Life is as pleasant as reading. People's hearts are full of vitality, and they can't be overworked or relaxed. Only reading can support them. People who have nothing to do, don't study all day, have no fixed place to live and have no fixed place to look at, and are bound to have a reversed mood, anxiety, unhappiness in adversity and worry about prosperity. Most scholars have become officials and no longer study hard. " Economy comes from learning ",which has its origin." Yan's family instructions "said:" Since ancient times, it is still necessary to study hard. Is the situation normal? "As the saying goes, accumulating wealth is not as good as skill. "The more you read, the more you feel shallow; The more articles you write, the less you dare to write. No matter what ups and downs I will have in the future, my life will be based on reading. Even if you are bored, you will admit it. Reading is not fame, after all, people are elegant. Since reading has become a habit, let's keep this habit and carry it forward. This is an impetuous era. People who read and write articles can't stand loneliness. Some people have learned no three no four, unlike a scholar. The easier it is for people to be unconscious, the more I want to be awake; The easier it is for people to delay themselves, the less I allow myself to be delayed. No matter how things change, no matter how bumpy life is, I am firm. Cao Pi's classic theory? The article said: "Gaitiao is a great cause of governing the country and an immortal event. The years of life sometimes end, and glory ends in the body. Both will reach a normal period, not endless articles. It is based on ancient authors, written in calligraphy, and views are based on articles. He is not hypocritical about history and does not rely on flying, but his fame is autobiographical. "People in this world are afraid of cold and hunger when they are poor, but they are addicted to pleasure when they are rich, and they only care about the present and put aside their future reading and writing career. With the passage of the sun and the moon, their physical appearance withered and disappeared in the blink of an eye. I don't want to make the common faults made by ordinary people, but I will deliberately learn the style of the ancients, and maybe I can leave some good words for future generations. Ancient academies have excellent couplets. My talent is limited, and I can't think of a good couplet, so the pillars of the academy are still empty. There are really no good couplets, so it is better to borrow good couplets from ancient academies. For example, although he failed in his studies, he interrogated Shen Siming and argued persistently, hoping to encourage you; What happened? Cultivate one's morality, rule the country and level the world. I hope someone with good handwriting will write couplets. I'm not satisfied with my calligraphy. For this, I am really a little uneasy. The lack of progress in calligraphy is a great regret for scholars. If I write it myself, I have to practice for a few more years before I can write it. I don't think I can do other difficult things. I can still do it myself. Of course, I have the same delusion, that is, to learn from Lu Xun and say in my article: "Ade, my cricket! "Ade, my raspberries and Manglietia!" Then, later generations followed my words to find crickets in the grass and pick raspberries and Manglietia.
