After reading The Doctrine of the Mean in College, I read The Doctrine of the Mean in College today. This book combines the two books, The Doctrine of the Mean in University. After reading it, I was deeply touched.
University is a book handed down by Confucius. It is the first book that the ancients read when they studied, and it can also be said that it is an introductory book for the ancients to learn morality.
The golden mean is the method of Confucius' teaching experience. "Zhong" means impartiality and refers to the right path in the world, while "Yong" means quietness and refers to the theorem in the world. The book The Doctrine of the Mean tells a truth at the beginning, in various ways in the middle, and finally returns to the beginning. Every time you read this truth, you will gain something new that will benefit you for life.
If people want to be immortal, they must do good for the people. However, if people want to do things like "housekeeping", "governing the country" and "leveling the world", they must have morality.
Morality starts with learning from the scriptures, knowing, honesty, integrity and self-cultivation, so as to achieve great things and do great things. Morality, on the other hand, needs persistence and perseverance all one's life, but also needs understanding in thought, practicing in action and starting from small things. Morality is not only a superficial appearance, but also an internal accomplishment, that is, to be "self-modest" and "cautious and independent". To do great things is to know how to cultivate self-cultivation and think for the people, so as to unite as one and make the people happy.
The doctrine of the mean in college has made me understand a lot. I will definitely reread this book.
Reflections on the Doctrine of the Mean in Universities 2 The Doctrine of the Mean in Universities consists of two parts, one is the University and the other is the Doctrine of the Mean, both of which are part of The Book of Rites.
"University" includes eleven chapters, namely, Ming Dow, loving the people, stopping at perfection, learning from the classics, sincerity, self-cultivation, keeping the family in order and governing the country. "University" takes the cultivation of human beings as the core, and puts forward that "from the emperor to Shu Ren, it is also self-cultivation". The method of self-cultivation emphasizes that human cultivation is not only a process of introspection, but also a process of getting in touch with foreign things, acquiring knowledge through studying physics, cultivating moral character and perfecting personality. It is Zhu's "Three Programmes", which aims to show virtue, educate people and stop at perfection, emphasize the triple realm of moral cultivation, carry forward virtue, make people turn over a new leaf and achieve the ultimate goal of educating the world. Zhu's "eight items" are "respecting things, being sensible, sincere, upright, cultivating oneself, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world".
"The way of university, in Ming Ming DE. In Xinmin. Stop at the best. Zhi Zhi then has a decision, then he can be quiet, then he can be quiet, then he can be safe, then he can worry, and then he can be virtuous. Things have a beginning and an end, and things have a beginning. Take shortcuts when you know the order. " This passage is an account of "The University" and the general outline of this book, revealing the purpose of the university. The purpose of the university is to carry forward the aboveboard moral character and let people abandon the old and innovate. Only when they get the perfect state and know what they should achieve can they determine their ambitions. Only when they make up their minds can they be calm and thoughtful.
Everything has roots, branches and tails, and everything has a beginning and an end. Knowing the whole process, we are close to the law of the development of things. After reading this part, it is really reasonable to connect with reality. Learning and learning need a quiet and peaceful mind, so that we can think calmly, think about our own research problems, and think carefully about the problems, so as to grasp the key and laws of the problems. On the contrary, if you have no patience, it will be difficult to think about the problem seriously and comprehensively and analyze it deeply.
What impressed me most about reading "University" was integrity. Righteousness is to keep the integrity of the heart, that is, to keep the conscience in nature, not to be dominated by personal likes and dislikes, personal feelings and selfish desires, that is, to grasp one's own emotions and mentality, so as to maintain a good mentality. In real life, our minds cannot be right because of anger, fear, preference and anxiety. Writing here, I can't help but think of the classic video of Zhai Guoxue that the teacher showed us in the next semester of junior year, which mentioned that being a man should have serious opinions and positive thinking. It turns out that it has something in common with Zheng Xin in the university.
The doctrine of the mean emphasizes "sincerity" and holds that "sincerity" is the key to the realistic doctrine of the mean. The Doctrine of the Mean has many contents, including 33 chapters. It is believed that the golden mean is more suitable for personal cultivation, and the chapters of great wisdom and virtue, plain concealment, plain positioning, long journey, honesty and integrity, and the examples followed have special practical significance.
I only knew a little about the understanding of the golden mean before, but I didn't know much until I really studied it. In the second chapter "Time", "Time" refers not only to time and times, but also to opportunities. We can neither surpass the stage nor be abandoned by the times. We can neither be aggressive nor complacent. Surpassing the reality is extreme, and keeping up with the pace is backward. I think most of the meaning of the golden mean is consistent with the concept of "being in time". However, different schools have different understandings of the precise understanding of the golden mean.
The highest ideological realm in Confucianism is the golden mean, and the "golden mean" here is tolerance and utilization. Is to tolerate all objective existence and make rational use of it. In specific events, no matter what their nature, they all contain certain inevitable significance and should be accepted. In the specific operation, we should make appropriate choices and grasp moderation. That is to say, under specific time and space conditions, make appropriate behavior. Zhuangzi believes that the doctrine of the mean is reason, the doctrine of the mean is action, and the doctrine of the mean is the unity of knowledge and action. Zhu's understanding of the golden mean is impartiality and innocence, which is simple to say, but it is too difficult when we can do it in life. Because to achieve the golden mean, we must be impartial, seek a meeting point between the two ends, and be just right in the change of dynamic and static, which is really difficult for us in reality.
In addition, the most talked about in The Doctrine of the Mean is "sincerity". Be honest with yourself, your family and outsiders. A sincere person, his character is sincere, his thoughts are as deep as a pool of water, and his mind is as broad as the blue sky. In fact, the reality is the same. Honesty should be a person's basic morality, an important principle to get along with others and the cornerstone of the cause. If there is no integrity, then if you are not honest with yourself, you will not be cautious; If you are dishonest to others, others will not believe you; If an enterprise is dishonest, it will not prosper.
Reflection on the Doctrine of the Mean in University 3 During the summer vacation, my parents and I watched the classic book "The Doctrine of the Mean in University" in the series of "Graded Reading in Yangcheng".
After studying with my parents, I suddenly feel that reading is really a very meaningful thing. The Doctrine of the Mean in Universities is a classic work in classical Chinese. Although this book is difficult to read, with the help of computer, I find it very interesting, and it also makes me understand a lot of life truths. What impressed me deeply was that a fragment in the part of "University" was very reasonable: "Things are known later, knowing later is known in the city, meaning later is right, mind later is repaired, body later is neat, family later is neat, country later is governed, and the world is peaceful. It means: "knowledge can only be acquired after understanding and studying everything;" After acquiring knowledge, the idea can be sincere; Sincere heart, square heart; With a correct mind, we can cultivate our own character; Only through the cultivation of character can we manage the family and family well; Only when the family and clan are well managed can the country be well managed; Only by governing the country well can the world be peaceful. "
This paragraph is quite right. Knowledge is very important. Knowledge comes from understanding everything. People with knowledge can achieve great things. A knowledgeable person will have good conduct; Only knowledgeable people can manage their families well and realize their dreams.
Through studying with my parents, I learned my meager knowledge and the profoundness of China literature. I will read widely in the future, and constantly understand the essence of China literature. Also let me know how to respect others from reading and find happiness from it. I study, I grow, I am happy!
After reading the Doctrine of the Mean 4 in college. After reading the classic book The Doctrine of the Mean in Universities, I think this book is the ideological core 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. Just like a person who has lived for thousands of years, the previous history is fresh and unforgettable. This book can tell us that people and stories in history can better reflect human nature and the formation of our culture for thousands of years, as well as the thoughts and behaviors of modern China people. It can also tell us a lot of countless reasons. These truths are scattered all over the sky, and they can hide their hearts when they come back together. His interests are endless, and they are all very real knowledge, which is useful to us all our lives and inexhaustible. These truths have deeply influenced me. For example, being a man should set an example, be grateful and be diligent ... The most profound thing is gratitude and diligence.
Just like gratitude, one must be grateful. In the long history of gratitude, there are many stories of celebrity gratitude at all times and in all countries. For example, in ancient times, Huang Xiang Jr. used his body to warm a mat in the cold winter and let his father sleep in a warm bed; Commander Zhu squatted down and personally washed his mother's feet. And Madame Curie sent a plane ticket to let her primary school teacher Ou Ban attend the founding ceremony of Radium Institute, and Madame Curie personally sent the teacher to the podium. Great men are great, and celebrities become celebrities because they all have a good psychological quality-gratitude.
Just like studying hard, if we read more books, books will bring us closer to the world, and life will become brighter and more meaningful to us. Like Sun Jing, a famous politician, and Kuang Heng, a great scholar, they are eager to learn. He, Kuang Heng, liked reading very much when he was a child. He is busy helping adults to farm in the fields during the day and doesn't go home until sunset. He wants to study, but he suffers from the lack of light at home. Later, he suddenly had a good idea. It turns out that the next room is only separated from him by a wall. He drilled a small hole quietly so that he could lean against the wall and read a lot of books every night. Later, Kuang Heng became a famous scholar, especially the Book of Songs, whose views were unparalleled at that time. During the Han and Yuan Dynasties, his knowledge was highly appreciated by the present, and his books were adopted repeatedly. The story of his stealing wall light has also become an eternal story in academic circles. ...
I benefited a lot from reading this book. Reading this good book is like making a good friend. I hope that after reading this book, everyone can become noble people, pure people, moral people and people who are close to the people, and work together to build a better tomorrow!
