Pick one yourself! Recently, I finished reading Mr. Zhu Ziqing's classic talk, mainly introducing and explaining some basic knowledge of China traditional culture. In the preface of the book, it is also said that this book is an ancient book for learning traditional culture, and it can also be called "an introduction to Chinese studies". Since it can be called "an introduction to Chinese studies", its weight is self-evident. The appearance of this book also provides a good guide for people from all walks of life to browse history books.
The contents involved in Mr. Zhu's books mainly include traditional works such as "Four Books and Five Classics" and "Thirteen Classics", including some of the most widely circulated and classic works in the four books "Classics, History, Zi and Ji". According to the bibliographic order of Mr. Zhu's works, they are: Shuowen Jiezi, Zhouyi, Shangshu, Shijing, Li San, Three Biographies of the Spring and Autumn Period, Four Books, Warring States Policy and National War. Wendy. The preface of the book says that "the articles are arranged in the order of the traditional subset of classics and history, and the' primary school' book has been put at the forefront according to tradition." Therefore, such a relatively gradual order also allows readers to better understand the purpose of the book. Teacher Zhu also said that to understand these books, especially classics, history, children and books, we must first understand the meaning, so he chose to explain.
From beginning to end, Mr. Zhu not only gave an incisive explanation to every book, but also added his own understanding to the exposition of some books. For example, in Book of Rites V, Mr. Zhu said: "Everyone is born as a very old belief, but the most common belief is the belief of ancestors. Until our time, this belief is still very strong, but most of it can be said to be a custom. Some of these customs can also be said to be the art of life. " In Shangshu, Mr. Zhu also made his own textual research on the authenticity of Shangshu for thousands of years, and determined that Fu Sheng's Shangshu was the most original authentic book, but even so, Mr. Zhu suggested that we look at these 29 articles separately, because some of them were entrusted by people in the Warring States Period. Therefore, such a rigorous attitude can be exactly the same.
Although Teacher Zhu's book is called Classic Talk, in my opinion, it is not only a simple classic talk, but also contains a deeper meaning of "classic guide". As we all know, when the degree of internationalization permeates into everyone's life, our life is also full of many new cultures, so that the younger generation pays less and less attention to our China culture and faces more and more challenges. Families rarely give their children "traditional education" any more. Therefore, we can interpret and endorse our ancient culture in this way, and to some extent, we can also spread our Chinese culture better. After all, our Chinese culture will be passed on to the next generation.
I recently read the book Classic Talk by Mr. Zhu Ziqing. It has been 62 years since Mr. Zhu Ziqing died. After reading this book, his tireless spirit of chewing food and feeding people flashed between the lines, which made people yearn for it and felt sorry for his short life.
Based on the purpose of popularizing the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation, this book analyzes more than ten Chinese cultural classics and hundreds of Chinese classics such as Shuowen Jiezi, Zhouyi, Shangshu, Shijing, Lisan, Chunqiu, Sanzhuan, Guoyu, Daxue, The Doctrine of the Mean, The Analects of Confucius and Mencius. I recently read a classic conversation written by Mr. Zhu Ziqing. It has been 62 years since Mr. Zhu left us. As a modern writer in China, he and his excellent prose works, such as "The Back" and "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond", will be in my heart forever. After reading this book, I feel that his tireless spirit of chewing food and feeding people flashes between the lines, which makes people pay attention to him. In the preface of the book, the author expounds what is classic and what is the traditional cultural heritage of China recorded by China. Then, he explained which books are included in the classics. There are thirteen books altogether. The authors, reasons, contents and social benefits of these thirteen books are introduced respectively. This process of narration and discussion constitutes the whole book. This book can be regarded as both a collection of essays and a teaching material, because in the preface of the book, Mr. Zhu said that classic training is one of the compulsory courses for secondary and above education. His idea was recognized by the Ministry of Education at that time, and it was also endorsed by many educators. If people who are exposed to classics are compared to tourists, Mr. Zhu is like a tour guide. When a tourist wants to visit a cave, he first tells me outside the cave, so that the tourist will know what he is doing and avoid getting confused when he enters the cave. He is really a good guide, and he knows the origin and evolution of caves himself. He can tell the truth and never says it's a double dragon play. This is the Eight Immortals created by a noble scholar and a fairy. Tourists who pursue truth rather than curiosity naturally welcome such guides. I have the right to use this book as teaching material. Introduce the topics in the book in chapter order: the first lesson is about the explanation of Chinese characters; The second lesson is about Zhouyi; The third lesson is about Shangshu; The fourth lesson is about the Book of Songs. The fifth lesson is about three rites; The sixth lesson is about the three biographies of the Spring and Autumn Period; The seventh lesson is about four books; The eighth lesson is about the warring States policy; The ninth lesson is about historical records; The tenth lesson is about Han Shu; The eleventh lesson is about ci fu; Lesson 12 is about poetry; Lesson 13 is about literature. Let's take the first lesson on Chinese characters as an example to briefly introduce the content of the article: According to legend, Chinese characters were made by Cang Xie, a historian of the Yellow Emperor. Seeing the traces of animal feet and bird feet printed on the ground, he was inspired and began to make words. Cang Xie let the cat out of the bag, but he didn't teach well. So when he coined words, "It rains every day. Ghosts cry at night. " If people have words, they will become smart and try to be easy-to-make businessmen. In the past, all characters had witchcraft, but this legend came into being at the end of the Warring States period, and people didn't believe it at that time. For example, the Book of Changes Cohesion only says that the characters were created by "later saints". There is not one "sage of later generations", but many people. Characters are constantly evolving, and it is impossible to say that they are original by one person. Literacy is the primary stage of education. Zhou Li and Bausch said that aristocratic children entered primary school at the age of eight, and their teachers taught them to read. Before the Qin Dynasty, fonts were very complicated. With the gradual elimination of other styles, literacy has become much easier. In order to unify the writing, Qin Shihuang taught Lisi to write Seven Records of Cang Xie, Six Records of Zhao Gao's Love Calendar and Seven Records of Hu Boxue. However, the font was based on the common seal script at that time, which made the original seal script slightly different. At the beginning of Han Dynasty, the teacher combined these three chapters into one book. He wrote Shuo Wen Jie Zi. This is an epoch-making calligraphy book, which includes all kinds of calligraphy styles of past dynasties. He kept the characters of Xiao Zhuan and the late Zhou Dynasty, so that later generations could trace back to the source and go downstream. The study of the form, sound and meaning of characters used to be called primary school, but now it is called philology. Previous knowledge was limited to classics, so learning must start from primary school, that is, from philology. There are six rules for the use of characters in word-making, which are called the second referent; The third is to know; The fourth is the sound shape; Fifth, transfer bills; Sixth, borrowing. Detailed. Since the Qin dynasty, Chinese characters have evolved into various calligraphy styles, such as the origin and development of truth (correctness, block), line, grass, official script and seal script. Judging from the content of this first lesson, it should be said that it is very rich. From the generation and development of characters, the composition of characters and the evolution of various fonts, they are all clearly introduced, and the related legends and stories are very vivid. It's amazing. After reading this book, that useful idiom became a reality. I think I have benefited a lot: I have a deeper understanding of the cultural heritage left by my ancestors and a clearer understanding of what classics are, their source development and their impact on society. Mr. Zhu may not have used the word "make the past serve the present" at that time, but his original intention in writing this book was to advocate the national inheritance of the cultural heritage left by our ancestors. Improve people's cultural quality. Therefore, Mr. Zhu named the book Classic Talk. Since it is often said, that is to say, we can't forget these classics, that is to say, it is useful to learn whenever.
In the preface of the book, the author expounds what is classic and what is the traditional cultural heritage of China recorded by China. Then, he explained which books are included in the classics. There are thirteen books altogether. The authors, reasons, contents and social benefits of these thirteen books are introduced respectively. This process of narration and discussion constitutes the content of this book. This book can be regarded as a collection of essays. It can also be regarded as a textbook, because Mr. Zhu said in the preface of the book that classic training is one of the compulsory items in secondary and above education. His idea was recognized by the Ministry of Education at that time, and it was also endorsed by many educators.
If people who are exposed to classics are compared to tourists, Mr. Zhu is like a tour guide. When tourists want to visit a cave, he first tells them outside the cave, so that tourists can have a good understanding of it and will not be confused when entering the cave. He is really a good guide. He knows the origin and evolution of the cave, can tell the truth, and will never say that it is two dragons playing with pearls. This is the Eight Immortals created by a noble scholar and a fairy. Tourists who pursue truth rather than curiosity naturally welcome such guides.
