Below I will introduce to you the content of the handwritten newspaper for reciting Chinese classics. Welcome everyone to read and refer to it! The content of the handwritten newspaper for reciting Chinese classics
Contents of the handwritten newspaper for reciting Chinese classics:
"Classics "It is the crystallization of a nation's profound wisdom and beautiful emotions. It contains the most common principles and common principles, and emits the light of humanity. Its value is timeless and ever-new. Every cultural system has its eternal classics as its source.
Romain Rolland once said: "The political life of a nation is only the surface of its life; in order to explore its inner life - the source of its various actions - we must go through its literature, philosophy and art, because it reflects the various thoughts, passions and ideals of its people.”
This summer I read Chinese classics carefully and felt the charm of classical culture deeply.
When the words "Classics of Chinese Studies" are mentioned, everyone's first reaction will definitely be the best, most essential and most valuable model works in Chinese culture. I think "The Thousand Character Essay" is such a book.
According to historical records, this well-conceived and charming "Thousand-Character Essay" was compiled overnight by a man named Zhou Xingsi during the reign of Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty. At the beginning of the sixth century AD, Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty, Xiao Yan, was well-versed in learning, good at literature, and loved calligraphy. He admired Wang Xizhi's calligraphy so much that he ordered people to select a thousand different characters from Wang Xizhi's ink, and asked Zhou Xingsi, the minister of Sanqi, to compile it into a text in the form of four-character rhyme. The words and sentences were required to be closely related. connections, and should be rich in literary grace and charm, so that children can learn literacy and acquire necessary knowledge. Zhou Xingsi was quick in thinking and compiled the "Thousand-Character Essay" in one night. However, the next day, his temples were already gray. The Thousand Character Classic is more than 1,400 years old. It has been passed down to this day, and as an enlightenment book, it has received high praise. There are also words about learning in the book, such as "A ruler is not a treasure, but an inch is a competition." This shows that the ancients have long recognized the preciousness of time, "An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, and an inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time." "The beauty of sincerity in the beginning is beautiful. , it is advisable to be careful in the end. "It is good to cultivate yourself, study, and pay attention to the beginning, but it is even more valuable to persist to the end. Learning should not be done halfway or end at the end. You should persevere and eventually reach the other side of victory. "Keep the truth and be full of ambition, chase things and change your mind." It means that everyone should maintain their good nature, study with concentration, and not change their will or even lose their mind by playing with things. "Ignorant and ignorant people are criticized." If you have little knowledge and little knowledge, you will be ridiculed by others. We can't just read dead books, we must increase our knowledge and see more of the outside world, otherwise we will become "frogs in the well". The book also contains many historical legends and classic stories: such as the Pearl at Night and Pangu Opening the Sky, which opened my eyes. These all attracted me deeply. "Read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will become apparent." Let us enjoy the fun this classic beautiful article brings to us by reading more and memorizing it more!
Another example is when I read "The Analects of Confucius", I had a deep understanding of "The Analects of Confucius". The Analects of Confucius and its author also gained further understanding. In real life, I gradually learned that many of our customs and polite expressions originally came from the Analects. The Analects of Confucius still has such a profound influence more than 2,500 years later, and is also widely circulated in many parts of the world. The sentence that left the deepest impression on me in "The Analects of Confucius" is "Learning without thinking is a waste, and thinking without learning is laziness." Indeed, if you only study without thinking, you will be ignorant and gain nothing; if you only think without learning, you will be confused and unsure. It teaches people to use their brains when studying, not to engage in question-and-answer tactics blindly, but to learn to think and summarize. Only by working hard and learning to think can your academic performance be improved to a higher level. If you just think without learning, it's like planting crops and hoping to get something for nothing. Take this sentence as your motto and always remind yourself that you must also pay attention to methods in work. Don't rush to the end only to find that it is a dead end. You must always reflect on your work and improve yourself from reflection.
And I always remind myself that only by giving personally can there be rewards. Don't wait for pie to fall from the sky. As long as you have a feasible idea, you should try it and put it into action. "The Analects of Confucius" not only taught me how to work, but also taught me how to be a human being. Therefore, I firmly believe that as long as everyone can understand the true meaning of "The Analects of Confucius", you will have no regrets in life.
Reading Chinese classics not only expands our reading volume, but also subtly shapes our thoughts and behaviors, so that excellent Chinese classics will always accompany us to grow up healthily, and let us use our own Practical actions should be taken to inherit the profound Chinese traditional culture and carry it forward!

The significance of studying Chinese classics
Is the purpose of studying classics solely to cultivate the mind, improve personality, and harmonize society? What is the purpose? Perfect personality? How can we achieve a harmonious society? Let's look at a passage from the "Book of Changes" and think about it carefully. "Wealth is called great cause, daily renewal is called virtue. Life is called Yi, imaging is called Qian, imitation is called Kun, extreme numbers are called Zhan, change is called things, and unpredictability of Yin and Yang is called God."
What does it mean to be rich? Many people say that being spiritually enriched means being rich. This is exactly the misunderstanding of intellectuals in the past thousand years. For nearly a thousand years, Chinese intellectuals have studied the Four Books and believed that spiritual enrichment means wealth. In fact, they are completely wrong. Do you want to be mentally replenished? Of course you do. But don’t forget that the first thing you have to solve is to settle down and make a living. Therefore, the "Book of Filial Piety" says: "Being upright and practicing the Way will make you famous in future generations, and this is the end of filial piety." If you are only spiritually enriched and self-righteous, how can you be able to be upright and practice the Way? For thousands of years, intellectuals have been satisfied with their own spiritual world and lived Even when one is in poverty, one does not feel worried, but instead feels happy. "The Book of Changes" says: "If you lift up the people of the world, it is called a career." If you are full of spirit alone, how can you count it as a career?! If the whole world is full of spirit, it can be called a career.
But if you want to conquer the world, can you do it without a certain material and economic foundation? Before the army moves, food and grass must go first; before the great cause is carried out, the great cause must be understood first. As for the so-called righteousness, the "Book of Changes" says: "The well is used to define righteousness." Why is it a well and not a cup? Because a drop in the bucket can make a difference, which is insignificant. And the travel between wells can be endless. Therefore, true righteousness is not the righteousness of one person, but the righteousness of everyone in the world.
What is virtue and what is great virtue? Daily renewal is called great virtue. Rixin, there is "Rixin its virtue" in "Shangshu". There is also a saying in "The Great Learning": "It is new every day, and it is new every day, and it is new every day." What is "new"? Let's take a good look at the sun. If it comes out once a day, it is called new. Isn't this the accumulation method of being renewed every day and becoming virtuous over time? The sun cannot be seen every day, because there will be dark clouds and occasionally block the sun. This is true for everything, including reading the Bible. If you read it every day, it will be new, and your virtue will be renewed day by day. If you accumulate it day by day, you will become a great virtue.
What is "life is called Yi"? Yi is changing and is an inevitable law of all things in nature. The first one is 生, which is a verb, changing out and realizing. The second life is a noun, new, fresh things, things, including ideas. We come up with new ideas and thinking every day, and we also work hard every day to write new teaching materials and record new recordings. This is endless life. The sun, her sunshine, is endless. It is the driving force for the growth of all things and the source of the achievement of all things. Therefore, "the image is called Qian" and the achievement of all things is Qian. "Imitating is called Kun". Kun means imitation, not Life is like the moon. It reflects the sun's rays and does not generate its own energy. The sun's endless life and well water are the true righteousness, which benefits all things and never ceases.
Going back to thousands of years of scholars, they could not support themselves, but they still comforted themselves and said they were spiritually satisfied? This is a lie to deceive themselves and others. A true scholar is one who can achieve righteousness, live forever, benefit all things, and make the world rich. This is a great cause, not a petty spirit. All the books you read are just words, and you cannot achieve productivity or self-improvement. That is not a great righteousness, but a small righteousness, or even a hypocritical righteousness. This is the basic intelligence we need to learn when studying classics. If our children will be impoverished in the future by studying classics, I believe no one wants our children to read classics and find themselves in such a state. We hope that our children will be rich in the world, but not burdened by material things. We hope that our children will take what they have from the people, use it for the people, benefit the world, and never stop themselves. This is the real righteousness!
