What is the wonder of this book? The magic point is that it is self-contained, easy to read and remember, and easy to understand. Secondly, the essence of China culture has been bred for thousands of years. This little book with only 1500 words actually integrates "history, geography, people, astronomy and meteorology, poetry, music, education and philosophy". It can be said that learning a book, learning thousands of volumes! However, we should consider the sacred amethyst in connection with the historical conditions at that time, correctly understand it, actively absorb its essence and discard its dross.
Affection and filial piety are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. "If you are four years old, you can make pear and brother grow up and become prophets." "Xiang is nine years old, can warm the mat, be filial and do his duty." At the age of four, Kong Rong knew that Dali would give it to his eldest brother; /kloc-at the age of 0/8, Xiangjiu Huang took the initiative to be filial to his father without any regrets.
Paying attention to children's education and history education is also an excellent cultural tradition. "In the past, in Meng Mu, you chose your neighbor, but you didn't learn. You broke the loom." "Jade is not a tool." This reflects China's emphasis on education. "The Holy Amethyst" also condensed the whole history of China, making it easy to learn and remember, and also specifically talked about the methods of learning history.
In a word, all this shows the ancient traditional virtues of Chinese children and our excellent traditional culture, which is the pride of our Chinese children.
However, I have to reiterate that due to the historical and political reasons at that time, many problems that can not be ignored have been caused, adding some dross to the classic of the Three Cardinals and the Five Permanent Principles. The so-called "three cardinal guides", that is, "the monarch is the minister's guide, the father is the child's guide, and the husband is the wife's guide", "the meaning of the monarch and the minister, the relationship between father and son, and the sum of husband and wife", shows that people at that time foolishly thought that with the "three cardinal guides", a social stability situation would be formed in which the monarch and the minister would follow each other, the father and the filial piety would follow each other, and the husband and wife would follow each other; The so-called five permanent members are "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith", and "benevolence, courtesy, wisdom and faith are the five permanent members, which should not be disturbed". This is the basic moral bottom line that everyone must abide by and cannot break through. Just pity the people at that time! I am dedicated to maintaining the order of my country, so I declare the Three Cardinal Principles and the Five Permanent Principles and practice them myself. In fact, this is just a curse imposed on the ruled by the rich rulers in ethics and law.
In a word, the essence of this wonderful book "Saint Amethyst" lies in the publicity of family affection and filial piety, and the emphasis on acquired education and historical education. Its dross is also obvious: the feudal morality with the three cardinal guides and the five permanent members as the core has been the rope that binds China people's thoughts and behaviors for two thousand years.
We must remember that the China culture embodied by Saint Amethyst is profound, and we need to absorb its essence, eliminate its dross, and finally carry it forward.
