Groans is a collection of essays by Lv Kun (1536- 16 18), a famous thinker and philosopher in the late Ming Dynasty. Published in 1593 (21st year of Ming Dynasty). Groans is a work written by Lv Kunji after thirty years' painstaking efforts. The original preface says: "groan, sickness, groan, pain when sick." Therefore, it was named after "groan". The book is divided into six volumes, the first three of which are internal chapters; The last three volumes are external articles, the internal articles are divided into life, conception, ethics, talking about Tao, self-cultivation, learning, dealing with affairs and keeping in good health, and the external articles are divided into seventeen articles, such as heaven and earth, world luck, sages, tasting algae, governing Tao, human feelings, physics, metaphor and lyrics. A * * * probably has hundreds of meaningful and philosophical quotations. Based on Confucianism, the book is active in using the world, which is related to governing the country and self-cultivation, dealing with things, concise and thorough. Some modern scholars praised it as "a rare guide book for self-cultivation, governing the country and leveling the world".
Groans is a representative work that started the enlightenment of salvation in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Since the late Ming Dynasty, Lv Kun and his work "Groans" have exerted a far-reaching influence on China's politics, philosophy and other fields. It has been translated into more than 20 national languages and published. In writing, there are often witticisms and insights. For example, in terms of self-cultivation, the author thinks that "quietness is the most beautiful quality, which is beneficial to the soul and will not let go" and "keeping your mouth open is not a device for storing virtue." Calm down is a person's excellent quality, concentrate on thinking and don't let go; Nonsense is frivolous, and it is difficult for such people to cultivate good moral character. When reading this, readers can't help thinking of their own hearts and mouths. It seems that to cultivate good moral character, these two guys must be well managed. So I searched some famous aphorisms on the internet, pondered them carefully and understood them slowly.
