Qian Mu, a great master of Chinese studies, recommended many classic Chinese studies books to readers
One of my favorites is "Chuanxi Lu". Wang Yangming, a philosopher of the Ming Dynasty, was mentioned in the history of junior high school in the Hundred Schools of Thought. His unique insights and thoughts left a deep impression on me. I can still recall that Mr. Yangming brought feudal thought to the Ming Dynasty. A painful blow.
"Chuan Xi Lu" is a representative work of Confucianism. The book discusses Mr. Wang Yangming's thoughts, profoundly revealing the ancient social thoughts at that time and the inner cleansing under its dark background. The humility and generosity mentioned in his book serve as a wake-up call for us.
My favorite classic quotation in it is "Humble your heart but be magnanimous." Humility is the beacon to success. It is an attitude that is never satisfied, does not stop, and keeps moving forward. You can still be indifferent to others' appreciation. And a broad mind is not only a manifestation of a person's maturity and magnanimity, but also indispensable for us to handle interpersonal relationships well. "It is not more valuable than having no mistakes, but it is more valuable than being able to correct them." We must treat our own mistakes strictly, find them in time and face ourselves squarely. As for other people's mistakes, as long as they can correct them in time, we must learn to treat them with tolerance. This also reminds me of "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you" in "The Analects of Confucius" "Everyone has a saint in his heart, but if he is not confident enough, he will bury himself." I think its deep understanding is that everyone has a saint. There are saints in our hearts, and we must learn from the saints, adhere to the formal self, and monitor ourselves, so that we can move towards the saints.
The classics of Chinese studies always shock us with their upright ancient sayings. I recommend that you read more classic works of Chinese studies, such as "The Analects", "Mencius", etc., and feel the influence that historical literati have brought to us. Insights and experiences.
