Sweeping the floor is a basic health and life work.
Coping is the words, manners and attitudes between people in the so-called human interaction.
"Six Arts" covers a wide range of contents:
Ceremony: it is the sum of cultures.
Le: It's the art of life, including music.
Shooting: it is a weapon of ancient martial arts and long-range attack. Mainly composed of bows and arrows, it is represented by archery.
Royal: It's driving skills such as driving a horse and carriage.
Book: refers to philology, including the study of official documents.
Number: refers to arithmetic and mathematics, and is the basic pioneer of ancient science.
From the age of eight into the "primary school" to the age of twenty, you are not a boy. In the family, you have to hold a "coronation ceremony" to be considered a formal adult. However, before the "coronation ceremony", there is another saying that 18 years old is considered an adult with a bunch of hair. After the so-called "hair tied up and crowned", if you want to further your studies, you must go to "University". ……
Now we formally study the four sentences in the first paragraph of "University": "The way of a university is to be well-known and close to the people, and stop at perfection." ……
First, in China more than 2,000 years ago, that is, in the late Spring and Autumn Period and the early Warring States Period, the traditional culture of China was originally an orthodox era in which Confucianism and Taoism were indistinguishable. Even a hundred schools of thought flaunt the word "Tao" as a fixed point.
Ceng Zi, the author of Great Learning, was born in this era. Among the 72 sages of Confucius, he is the backbone of inheriting the traditional way of thinking. At that time, on the political system and social customs, at least on the surface, it was centered on the Zhou royal family, especially on the cultural customs, which were based on Zhou rites. The so-called children enter primary school at the age of eight, and when they reach the age of eighteen or nineteen, they will learn from adults, that is, they will be prepared to be a real adult, not a fine (small) person.
So, what is the way of interpersonal relationship that a person is taught by the theory of adults? That is to understand this "mingde" first. So there are two words in this sentence, the first is a verb, and the second is an adjective or noun. This usage was very common in ancient times. For example, "father and son, son, kiss" and so on all regard the first word as a verb and the second word as a noun. That is to say: for a father, it is his duty to be a father; For sons, it is their duty to be sons; For the sake of the person you love, you should do your duty to the person you love.
Understand the above truth, we can also know that the main purpose of our ancient traditional education is to teach you to be a man and fulfill the duty of human nature and human relations. I don't just teach you knowledge and skills, whether you are a good person or not. Because working, farming, peddling, being an official, being a scholar, being a soldier and being an emperor are all different occupations. Although the positions are different, they all need to be human, which is the duty. Your professional post is really glorious, but everyone can't do it well and can't succeed, let alone anything else.
Second, the way of "university" is fundamental, and it can also be said to be material. "Mingde" is the application of Tao and the psychological and physiological behavior from Tao. "Being close to the people" is the achievement of personal moral sense, and it is to throw it into the world, personally enter the crowd society and serve the people. This is the purpose of establishing people from outside after Mingde established himself. The final result. Whether it is the "Mingde" for personal standing or "being close to the people" for external use, it is necessary to achieve the realm of "supreme goodness". -"The original university whispers"
The purpose of thousands of years' education in China is not to make a living, but to teach us to be human beings, and vocational skills are learned separately. Moreover, education begins with prenatal education, and family education is the most important, and then we learn from our husbands. Personality education and knowledge cultivation run through life. Therefore, in addition to the power of politics and wealth, society also has independent and outstanding personality and character cultivation, which is the mainstay of social people's hearts.
Nowadays, family and school education, and even the educational concept of the whole society, are devoted to career and making money, and there is no basic personality training education. If people can't do it well, what do you talk about democracy, science, freedom, rule of law, rule of man, rule of virtue, centralization, and even credit, environmental protection, unity and harmony? The ideal is good, but it can't be done, because things are done by people. -"South Lecture Notes"
All the creation of history lies in people. If we talk about democracy now, democracy is very good, but it still lies in the people who control this democratic system. If people are wrong, democracy will be worn away. Autocracy is also a political system and a "law". The law itself is neither good nor bad. If the person who controls and leads the law is wrong, the law will be broken. So judging from the judgment here, democracy, rule of law, autocracy and dictatorship are all statements of history and culture, and they have all become the past. In fact, doing bad things depends on people.
