Because the previous articles were quite critical, my friend said, isn't there a positive inheritance?
Of course, the so-called "reading on the roof", the question is: what kind of books do you read and how do you read them? This is very important. Although some articles are fake or processed, such as the letter from the famous Seattle chief, which was processed by later generations, it is harmless to us and still moving. The debate between the study of ancient Chinese classics and the study of modern Chinese classics after the Han Dynasty was meaningful until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, but truth and movement can be two worlds. Bless the students in the online world, who are often touched and give priority to asking who the author is. Good writing will make you have a good temperament, predict things and know things later, and naturally you will have different horizons and beliefs.
Here are three jokes and stories, namely, Biography of Han Poetry, Wei Gongzi and Nanny, Biography of Ram, Chu Man and Song Dynasty, Zuo Zhuan and Lu Xie. Generally speaking, it can be regarded as a fragment of related Confucian classics.
There is no distinction between nobility and inferiority in life.
"Every adopted husband is born, not for killing. How can you abandon justice and do something wrong for profit and fear of punishment? 」
This is the belief held by the wet nurse of the little prince of Wei at the end of the Warring States period when faced with the threat of inducement. At that time, Wang Wei was dead, and the minister was alive and escaped. In order to root out the root cause, the State of Qin offered a reward for the capture of the little prince and imposed a heavy penalty at the same time. For the nurse who eloped with the little prince, it was dangerous and hard. The nurse's final result was that she was shot more than ten arrows to protect the little prince. This passage is recorded in ancient books. Of course, you can doubt its authenticity. How can you speak so beautifully? But generally speaking, those of us who have worked as nannies or raised children will not ask if their handwriting is so beautiful, but the first rule of nannies is really to treat children as their own.
In today's words, a nurse's words should be "the first duty of a nanny is to protect the child's life." How can she shrink back or betray her justice because of a reward or threat? "The wet nurse who insisted on protecting her young was shot dead by an arrow in front of the children. So Qin Jun, who initially said that he would kill the hidden person, really executed the family of the hidden person according to the initial announcement? Don't! Instead, Qin Jun sacrificed her to pigs, cows and sheep in prison and gave her brother an official position. You don't have to doubt that Qin Jun is buying people's hearts, because wouldn't it be more reasonable to bet your life on it?
In history, especially in wars, there are quite a few such incidents. Such fresh temperament and simple persistence may be a model of Confucian moral education, but only from the artistic point of view, it is earth-shattering material, which has already been deeply rooted in people's hearts without recreating the beautification of God. Didn't Zhu Zhuang's grandmother in Kaohsiung betray her support workers out of maternal insistence? Morality has nothing to do with status, and some even say that "fighting righteousness leads to killing dogs."
How do humans survive in this world?
"A gentleman is proud of seeing people's territory; You are lucky when you see a little person. 」
This passage comes from the Spring and Autumn Period, when the State of Chu attacked the State of Song and almost captured Song Cheng, but it was unexpectedly cleared by the demeanor of two courtiers. Huayuan, a defense doctor, honestly said that the besieged city had reached the point of "easy eating, bad analysis and good cooking". His opponent Sima Zijue wondered why Huayuan was so frank. Huayuan was helpless and could only hope for moral awakening, so he said, "A gentleman has empathy." Sima Zi also said, "We are running out of food. Go back and tell the king of Chu truthfully, thinking that you should have dignity and keep your word, and then retreat after dinner. I didn't expect the king of Chu to blame him for leaking military information.
Don't you see, the relationship between monarch and minister presented in this article is not bound by Confucianism, and the minister's opinion is free and persistent, which is different from the loyal monarch who absolutely obeys the country in later generations. And Huayuan hit the nail on the head and said the different reactions when gentlemen and villains meet. Isn't it worth asking yourself at any time: "Do I usually gloat or feel the same?" 」
This article is sometimes compared with the theory of Prisoner. In "The Theory of Longitudinal Prisoners", Ouyang Xiu thought that Emperor Taizong was playing tricks and deliberately detaining prisoners, and the prisoners were trying to figure out their intentions. This is a tacit humanitarian performance. Is this history a gossip on the battlefield? Compared with the siege of Changchun, the worst civil war in China, there is no such touching scene. Thousands of people starved to death. If you can ask "Why isn't Sima Zi the only modern general?" ? Why couldn't the commander tolerate such humanity and grace in the civil war? The thickness of your article comes out.
Love and justice, personality transcendence
"Shi Tian, ErSanZi thought it was his own strength. Isn't it fake? Stealing a person's wealth is also called stealing. How about taking advantage of the greed of the sky? 」
More widely known. Jie Zhitui wandered with Prince Zhong Er for 19 years. It is said that he even cut off his shares and served in Zhong Er until he finally returned to China and acceded to the throne, but he was not rewarded. Jay doesn't mind. It turns out that his criterion for judging credit is: this ending is entirely providence, and those who think they are successful are greedy for providence and credit! What a harsh sentence! It overcomes the law of equality of rights and obligations in the world and transcends the cycle of mutual gratitude! Is he too superman? Or is my generation too realistic?
Three paragraphs and three beliefs, students can ask questions in confusion and laugh at the infatuation of the ancients, but whether it is the choice of life perception or the follow-up of personality model, they are completely lonely. After reading such a tense article, you will confirm that not everyone has to live a waxing life.
