Text interpretation
This is an explanation of astronomical knowledge. This enlightenment textbook covers everything. The common sense that people will study and study in the future, go to society and use in life is all here. What we read today is very profound, but in ancient times, it was the basic knowledge and foundation of primary schools. For example, one of its functions is that if you don't read this book, you won't understand many allusions in many ancient works.
Many classics of ancient books will have a lot of allusions and specific terms. If you don't understand these words, you may find it difficult and don't want to learn them in the future. In fact, as long as you finish reading this enlightenment textbook, you will find that many words you don't understand are not the specific usage of the ancients, but the names under the world view and historical view at that time. It suddenly dawned on me that reading ancient books is not difficult.
The ancients called exegetics and these enlightenment textbooks primary school things, because exegetics should study the original meaning of Chinese characters, first understand the meaning, source and provenance of the characters, and then you can read the original texts of ancient books, have your own independent opinions and understanding, and not be biased. It is the basic skills and knowledge of reading classic ancient books. Not for exegesis, nor for learning knowledge, but for reading classics and sages in the future. Of course, these allusions often appear in later poems, and people will feel that they can't understand them, but they are actually caused by no foundation. Therefore, after reading this encyclopedia, you can use it and read ancient books, poems and literary history widely and freely, which is of course very important.
In the future, everyone will understand that there are many poetic words and daily life here, such as white houses replacing poor houses, doctors as the national hand, and carpenters as masters, which is why carpenters are called masters in Japan. Know the sources and allusions of many classics, as well as their customs, concepts, life and thoughts. The elegance and beauty of traditional culture are as transparent as a mirror.
It's just that these aspects have been secretly surprising. How do children without elegance and literary accomplishment read these books? Many Japanese old people told China people that Japan used to call China a country of adults, because children are gentle, knowledgeable, very intelligent and rational, which is very amazing and admirable.
The ancients taught the three-character classics to children as common sense. The Analects of Confucius is the purpose of navigation and learning for children and the basic moral requirement of being a man. Then they learn exegetics, write and read, and understand all kinds of allusions and customs. Children, learn to tidy up the imperial court, advance and retreat moderately, treat people with things, and then go to college to learn the education of saints and govern the country. Let life have a direction, don't be confused.
It's time to tell a story
The story of the sun
A long time ago, there were 10 suns in the sky, which led to hot weather and barren land, and people were afraid to go out while hiding at home. This is 10 Sun, the child of the Emperor of Heaven, very naughty. The Emperor of Heaven stipulates that only one person can go to the sky to play, but these ten brothers often sneak into the sky to play together, making people on the ground miserable. So Yao Di, the king of the world, turned to the marksman Hou Yi for help. Hou Yi used his bow to shoot arrows. Originally, he just wanted to scare nine suns. Unexpectedly, the temperature dropped several degrees when an arrow shot down the next sun. Houyi shot nine suns in succession. At this time, Emperor Yao found that the ground was cold, only to understand the role of the sun, so he ordered no more shooting. From then on, there was only one sun in the sky.
The only remaining sun is lazy and often sleeps in the valley, making the world dark and cold. So the Emperor appointed the great god Yan Di as the sun god to manage the sun. Qin Shihuang gave Yan Di a pair of golden cocks to wake up the sleeping sun. A wooden whip and a dry dragon trailer can fly in the air to catch up with the sun, and the sun rises in the east on time every day. Liu An's Huai Nan Zi and Shan Hai Jing.
The Goddess Chang's fly to the moon
Facing nature, the ancients had many interesting legends. There lived a pair of toads on the moon. They absorbed the essence of moonlight, with black backs and horns on their heads. It is said that they are over 3000 years old! This pair of toads was made by Chang 'e stealing the elixir of life.
According to legend, after Hou Yi shot nine suns, he was punished by the Emperor of Heaven and never returned to heaven. His wife, Chang 'e (Heng E), was also demoted to a mortal, and experienced the pain of birth, illness, death and illness on earth. One day, Hou Yi asked the Queen Mother of West Kunlun Mountain for immortality, but he was eaten by one person and became immortal, so he secretly took medicine.
Chang 'e, who stole the elixir, became lighter and lighter, and even flew to the Moon Palace to become a toad. (Excerpted from Zhang Heng's Spirit Fairy)
