One of the words I agree with most in the book is: "Things are known by people, people are sincere when they know, honest and upright, upright and upright, cultivate one's morality and then put one's family in order, put one's family in order to govern the country, and make the country peaceful." By exploring and understanding the truth, enriching knowledge and handling things honestly, people's attitude towards things will be objective, people's thoughts will be correct, their behavior will be good, their families will be purified, the country will be well governed and the world will be peaceful. If we all do this, it will be great to give it, and the world will be peaceful, which is the common aspiration of people all over the world.
What we should all do in the book is: the dutiful son should be close, the life should be respected, the upbringing should be enjoyed, the illness should be worrying, the mourning should be declining, and the sacrifice should be strict. When you are filial to your parents, you should respect them and make them happy. We should show anxiety when our parents are ill. We should be very sad after their death. When we worship our parents, we should be serious. This is filial piety.
If everyone can do these two sentences, then everyone has rich knowledge, noble character and correct attitude, then the family will be prosperous, the country will be strong, the country will be very friendly and the world will be peaceful. How wonderful! I hope our tomorrow will be better!

What impressed me most about this lesson taught by Teacher Wang was how to treat personality education from the perspective of the golden mean. My understanding is as follows.
First, what is the real strong?
I used to educate my students like this: children, let us be really strong. Or I will encourage myself to be really strong. But why didn't I cultivate a few real strong people and was often beaten by a little wind and rain? It turned out that my heart was strong and I thought I was just sticking to it. Today, after learning the golden mean, I know that the real strong are "benevolent", "brave" and "wise". And myself, the so-called strong in the past, simply do not have these three conditions. Most of the time, I just grit my teeth, endure, endure again, and in the end, it will break out one day, when Kutokuhayashi will be burned, and all previous efforts will be in vain. Today, I finally understand that only the kindness of "being lenient with others and teaching without reporting" can be truly powerful. Such a strong man doesn't need to fight back at all. He was born to bear it and didn't need to work hard. With compassion, he won't oppose anyone or anything. If you can't bear this heart, no matter how you endure it, there will be sequelae. Either you endure volcanic eruption, or you endure your illness, cancer and depression. So if you want to be a real strong man, you must have a kind heart. The second is to have a firm belief. If you have faith, you dare to go up and down the mountain, and you have the courage of "I will go to hell if I don't go to hell", and you dare to sacrifice yourself for righteousness. This is the real strong.
Without this distraction, I would still be vacillating and not brave and diligent. Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If there is no firm belief that "the three armed forces can win the handsome, but the ordinary man can't win the ambition", it is easy to suddenly turn around and take three more steps on a whim. This is not a real strong man. Third, we must have the wisdom of "harmony without flow, neutralization without bias" in order to be truly powerful. How many of us can do it? We should go with the flow without pollution, we should respect everyone and everything, and we should also respect those who are wrong and unorthodox, but we can't learn. This is called going with the flow and not polluting. However, we are either in cahoots or in infighting. This is not the golden mean, and we are not really strong. Tao Te Ching said: "A strong soldier is invincible, and a strong wood is a strong soldier. Strong places, weak places. " This is the golden mean and the wisdom of the strong. Therefore, after learning this lesson, I really understand what a real strong person is. I must be determined to be a real strong man. I firmly believe that I will thrive in constant learning and tempering, and eventually become a complete positive energy body.
Second, how to educate children to be really strong?
The education of the strong is not only urgently needed by myself, but also by children. Now many students we teach are still depressed in the third grade, and it is useless to fight for blood. Those who don't listen or listen, those who don't do homework or homework, those who sleep in class or sleep in class. Teachers don't see many real strong people. Why? Because children lack kindness, courage and wisdom. None of the three preconditions, even if you bite the bullet, you don't want to. They feel that they are forbearing for their teachers and parents. Without gratitude, there is no "benevolence"; Unwilling to work hard, unwilling to fight, is that there is no "courage"; No sense of responsibility, go with the flow, people indulge, and I'm not the only one who can't take the high school exam. Why should I work hard? There is no "wisdom". Therefore, these three words should be used to educate children from an early age. Without this foundation, we can't cultivate a real "strong man". Without the education of these three words, what we see is either a group of hegemonists who bully the weak, or a group of heartless flatterers, or even a group of decadent people who give up on themselves. Young people's ambition is China's ambition. If young people are strong, China will be strong. Young people are better than the earth, and China is better than the earth. If the young people we cultivate are just a group of hegemonists, flatterers and decadent people, then where is the backbone of our nation? Where is the hope of our motherland?
Let's re-examine our education and ourselves. As educators, we have too many things to do. In this realistic environment, in this big dye vat, if we are only satisfied with imparting the knowledge and skills in books to our children, instead of cultivating ourselves quickly and teaching our children to cultivate themselves at the same time, then we will in turn complain that our children are worse than their peers and teachers are becoming more and more difficult to teach. Where is our way out? Where does my happiness come from? We will fall into a vicious circle. When will it end? Therefore, for ourselves, for others and for the society, we teachers should first shoulder the historical mission and be truly strong, so as to cultivate a group of talents that the motherland really needs and cultivate the backbone of our nation in the future.
Let's become real "strong" together!

At the beginning of the notebook, Cheng Zi explained the title of the article and said, "Impartiality is not easy to be mediocre. The doctrine of the mean is the right way in the world, and the mediocrity is the theorem in the world. " Understanding mediocrity is quite rare. Therefore, Zhu Xi's detailed statement is "mediocre, ordinary." It seems that the common meaning can be explained by English general, which can be interpreted as general or universal. In addition, Kangxi Dictionary also has the meaning of "harmony", which is similar to "adhere to the middle road, keep the right path, and compromise" in the article. I think the words used by sages are not necessarily just one end. The meaning of the doctrine of the mean can be interpreted as the universal truth of impartiality and the doctrine of the mean. So far, it has a similar meaning to Cheng Zi's reasoning.
The Doctrine of the Mean is a set of world outlook and methodology advocated by Confucianism, aiming at improving people's inner moral quality and achieving peace and harmony in society. The doctrine of the mean has been a philosophy in China for more than 1000 years, but it seems to be deviated in contemporary times, probably related to the habit of using words. One of the main meanings of the contemporary word "Yong" comes from the ordinary and slightly derogatory mediocrity. Therefore, many people will subconsciously attribute the golden mean to inaction, which is far from the original intention.
The doctrine of the mean is impartial and sincere, which can be understood from the following sentence. "Rich is rich, poor is poor; Su Yi shovel, line in yi shovel, plain suffering, line in suffering. " It tells us here that we should keep our duty, say what suits our virtue and identity, and do what suits our virtue and identity, so as to reach the realm of harmony. "Although there is one, if there is no virtue, I dare not be polite; Although it has many advantages. There is no place, I dare not mention it. " If virtue is not worth it, or if virtue is not worth it, it is not suitable for action. Therefore, there is a saying in the poem to preserve our sanity, and this word is not derogatory. When you are in adversity and want to make progress, what you should consider is how to outsmart yourself and get the maximum benefit at the least cost, instead of just doing it.
If the doctrine of the mean is understood as inaction, it also violates the original intention of Confucianism. The article talks about "a gentleman's way, if he goes far, he will feel inferior if he climbs high", telling us that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, not where he falls and lies down, as the saying goes. This is enterprising. Then there is "so, politics is in people, learning is in people, self-cultivation by Tao, and self-cultivation by benevolence". After reading it? Obviously, "doing" and "repairing" are both active words, which are positive. Extending to other Confucian classics, we are familiar with the saying that "learning is the best way to be an official, and learning is the best way to be an official". It tells us that when we have spare time for study, we can be an official, and when an official has spare time, we can study. "University" also talks about self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world. This is the ideological basis for countless talents to cultivate their self-cultivation and forge ahead.
In order to focus on the above Confucianism, the predecessors divided it into several aspects or stages, each with its own emphasis. Therefore, when we understand the golden mean, we should look at it completely, and we can't misinterpret the original intention of the ancients just by a few words according to the contemporary understanding of words. "A glimpse of the whole leopard" does not always work.

The golden mean is the core idea of Confucianism and even the whole traditional culture of China, and it is the crystallization of the great wisdom of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. Based on the nature, Taoism and teaching of "the nature of destiny, self-cultivation and cultivation", it profoundly expounds the highest realm of life. The golden mean is the wisdom foundation of success or failure in life. Honesty is in the middle, faith is outside, a gentleman is cautious and independent, a benevolent person loves others, a benevolent person is invincible, honesty is clear, honesty is clear, and harmony is expensive. Don't give up on yourself.
Reading The Doctrine of the Mean, I feel very confused and don't know what it means, not because the words are difficult to recognize, but because the words are easy to understand, or the meaning is difficult to understand. I used to read "Da Xue", and there were many uncommon ancient characters, but the meaning of the article was easy to understand. However, I still insist on reading in the morning and consulting some materials to help me understand. Looking back now, I feel that I have gained a lot.
Regarding the "golden mean", Cheng Yi said, "What is impartiality? China people', unchanged or unchanged? Yong'; China is the right path of the world, and mediocrity is the theorem of the world. " The golden mean is the highest moral standard of Confucianism. The Doctrine of the Mean takes honesty and neutralization as basic concepts and describes the metaphysics of "the unity of man and nature". Therefore, the first chapter is based on "the nature of destiny, the truth-telling way, and the teaching of cultivation". It was a sudden burst of literary talent. It is a process from destiny, from microscopic expression, from the essence of destiny to the teaching of monasticism.
Loyalty, forgiveness and tolerance are one of the main principles of the golden mean. This principle requires us to care for each other, understand each other, love each other, do no harm to each other, be loyal and tolerant, act with benevolence and go hand in hand. The concepts advocated in The Doctrine of the Mean, such as impartiality, sincerity without interest, introspection without independence, hiding evil and promoting good, persisting in both ends, harmony without flowing, and making peace with others, are of great significance for people in modern society to cultivate their sentiments, enhance their realm, and establish their outlook on life, world outlook and values. If we achieve neutrality, everything in the world will be in its proper place and everything will grow and develop. "Tao" originates from itself, divorced from self-nature, and a gentleman must learn to seek for it by himself. A true gentleman should learn from things, get rid of the selfish interests of foreign temptations and fill his innate goodness. This quality of self-cultivation and self-reflection is necessary for our contemporary college students. No matter who you meet, what you encounter, no matter what setbacks you encounter in the future, you must learn to "find for yourself" and find reasons from yourself. We should learn from Mencius' quality of "I save three times a day".
The book has a distinctive style, proper comments and profound implications. In addition to excerpting the original text, there are also notes in the vernacular. In the section of "Reading Slowly", a large number of stories, fables and examples closely related to people's lives in modern society are excerpted. Combined with the ideas expounded in this section, lead us to savor the wisdom of life and the way of dealing with the world contained in The Doctrine of the Mean.
However, it is not easy to reach the realm of "sincerity"! Especially in today's market-oriented society, it is more difficult to be "sincere". There are many weaknesses in human nature. In the final analysis, one word is "greed". Greedy people have lived a miserable life since ancient times. The golden mean can overcome the greed of human nature and make people satisfied.
In a word, after reading The Doctrine of the Mean, I have benefited a lot in my life and will benefit for life.

In other words, Tao can't leave for a moment. Walking is not the way.
In the doctrine of the mean, there are two kinds of people, one is inspired by the doctrine of the mean, learn to do things in the doctrine of the mean, have a bottom line and principles. Such people have high moral cultivation and are "gentlemen". A "villain" who runs counter to the golden mean is careless, suspicious and unstable, and finally achieves nothing.
The uncontrollable golden mean. The edification of the golden mean is a long process, which can be obtained through study and reflection, and the golden mean can be obtained by learning the golden mean. Doing is practice, knowing is cognition. The golden mean, smart people are too self-righteous, stupid people are not so smart. Everything in the world is the beginning of rationality, rationality is the first, and irrationality is the last. Give yourself confidence when you do things, don't feel too inferior, get rid of negative thoughts and recommend positive ones.
Be good at learning from others and promoting positive energy in an open and aboveboard manner. When a person has questions he doesn't understand in his study, he will ask others for advice. Over time, his knowledge will increase. This is a successful person. People who appreciate others are often winners. The doctrine of the mean. A wise man is not a man with excessive wisdom, but a man who is cautious and knows how to protect himself. Their own interests are above everything else. They should protect their own interests first, and then take care of others. Some people say they are clever, but in the end they are confused by cleverness and make too many mistakes.
A person, acting according to moral principles, can often lead him to a clear path; A person who has moral principles can often give him a clear direction; A person who acts according to moral principles can often broaden his mind. It is reasonable to know how to firmly grasp it, and it is beneficial not to violate morality. The doctrine of the mean is not easy to achieve, and it is a long process, which cannot be faced with a sharp heart. The doctrine of the mean is out of reach and has far-reaching influence.
