Appreciation of the original Mo Chi Collection
To the east of Linchuan, the land is hidden and high, so Linxi is a new city. Above the new city, there are pools and depressions, but the sides are long, such as Mo Chi by Wang Xizhi and Linchuan Ji by Xun Bozi. The taste of Xihe River longs for Zhang Zhi, studying in Linchi, and the water in the pool is all black. This is an ancient relic. Do you believe in evil? Fang Xi can't be an official, but he tastes the east and goes out to sea to entertain mountains and rivers. Is it possible to wander around and enjoy this evil? The book of Xi is good at night. If it can, it will cover itself with energy, which is unnatural. Then people who can't reach in the world are not as good as evil people. Then you can learn less! What is the evil of those who want to advance their morality?
Above Mo Chi, it is now a public school. Professor Wang Junsheng is worried that he can't write a chapter. The book revealed the words "Have an Army". He said to Gong, "I wish I had a note." Pushing Wang Jun's heart, although the lover can be abolished, is it good because of his evil deeds? It also wants to push things to encourage its scholars? My wife's ability enabled future generations to do so. What a pity that a kind scholar, Shi Zhuang, will be treated in the afterlife!

Comment on discipline (1)
The article first introduces Wang ——Xizhi in Mo Chi, Linchuan, and doesn't investigate the truth-the taste of Xi admires Zhang Zhi, and the water in the pond is all black. This is his old story. How can you believe it is evil? Instead, it emphasizes that Wang Xizhi is not addicted to traveling-Fang Xizhi can't be a strong official, but he tastes the East and goes out to sea to entertain him between mountains and rivers. Is it possible to wander around and enjoy this evil? It is pointed out that Wang Xizhi's calligraphy achievements in his later years are actually due to his diligent study and practice, rather than his natural Xizhi book "Good night". If you can, cover yourself with energy, which is not natural. It is really essential to sum up your own opinions and learn, not to mention that you want to further your studies in morality-what is worse than learning in the world? Then you can learn less! What is the evil of those who want to advance their morality? The article extends the inference step by step, and finally falls on the theme-moral cultivation, highlighting the purpose of persuading the good and learning.
The second paragraph of the article explains the reason and purpose of writing this article. The author affirmed Wang Shengjun's intention to hang the words "Wang Jin has an army in Mo Chi" and asked the author to write it down. Then sigh-although one can't waste it, but because of it? It also wants to push things to encourage its scholars? My wife's ability enabled future generations to do so. What a pity that the legacy of a benevolent scholar will be treated in the afterlife! A person's ability makes future generations awe-inspiring, not to mention the moral demeanor handed down by people with lofty ideals, and how much influence it has on future generations! The article is called Mo Chi Ji, but the author's writing purpose is not only to describe Mo Chi, but to learn and persuade the good and abstain from the evil.
Commenting on this article, Shen Deqian said: "The idea is either in the topic or outside the topic, which makes people linger and admire." The author's purpose from talking about calligraphy to morality, from remembering calligraphers to chasing Mu Xiande lies in the word "encouragement"-encouraging him to study hard and pursue the moral integrity of ancient sages. The text of the article is concise, the language is simple, the argument is incisive and the reasoning is tortuous, which fully embodies the author's literary proposition centered on Tao.
What's Ceng Gong like? Ceng Gong is a writer and politician who is consistent with his words and deeds. When he was a local official, he always took "benevolence" as his bosom, "except rape, arouse its evil; Forget their sufferings and caress their kindness. Preface to qi zhou's Miscellaneous Poems. I think this is the reason why he can expand the article "Persuade Learning" to "Persuade Learning and Persuade Kindness"-habit; Still forced by the environment, it is necessary to promote a spirit, otherwise the article has no value, that is, it has no practical significance.
Modern scholars, especially some scholars after the reform and opening up, may be more practical than their predecessors. Obviously, all kinds of literary and artistic works in the works have long been shelved, and the principle of being a man has been greatly reduced. What's more, I base my happiness on the suffering of others. No, I insist on doing things that harm others and do not benefit myself, and it is specious.
I can understand hurting others for personal gain. Don't misunderstand me. I don't agree, but hurting others for my own benefit is puzzling to me as an ordinary person. Egoism has been criticized for many years, so no one wants to admit that he is a selfish person. So what is "selfishness"? The dictionary says that "selfishness is very heavy, only for personal interests" comes from the biography of Jin Shu Penny: "The connection of troubles must be born of selfishness, but the desire is aroused." Liezi Yang Zhu: "Dayu is selfish, but his whole body is dry." . From this explanation, we can see that "selfishness" and "overweight" are selfish, and it is normal not to be overweight, because it is impossible not to be selfish. As for "benefiting others and not benefiting themselves", I specifically said in the article "Why do people live", which is impossible. Interested friends can check it in my blog. Therefore, some people say that "subjectively for yourself and objectively for others", I think it is beyond reproach. To say the least, I can understand the helplessness of "harming others and benefiting themselves". But I can't understand "harming others and not benefiting myself" anyway. I don't know if it's my IQ or if some people have not evolved well.
As we all know, there is a saying that "in this world, it is more often: good succumbs to evil, knowledge succumbs to ignorance, and noble succumbs to vulgarity". However, fishermen can't never go out to sea because there is a typhoon at sea, farmers can't stop planting crops because they are afraid of disasters, and scientific experiments can't stop studying because they are afraid of failure. It is unacceptable to give up eating because of choking. I still believe that no matter how cloudy the sky is, the sun will still rise as usual tomorrow.
Churchill said, "We are all bugs. And I really think I am a firefly. " Of course, this is his modesty, but it shows the characteristics of a great man-glowing and benefiting the people. I don't know what metaphor Churchill should use. I only remember that Nixon gave him a high evaluation-without Churchill, Western Europe might be enslaved; Without XXX, Eastern Europe might be free. During World War II, in the Pacific, his speech touched my heart more than President Roosevelt's.
People will never forget those who are beneficial to mankind, the motherland and the people. Those recognized scientists, writers and politicians need not give examples. Let me talk about Zeng Guofan first. Some people call him "an expert in internal affairs and a layman in diplomacy", but he is still flawed, and future generations will always admire him. Li Hongzhang also has many people who understand and sympathize with him. Even Wang Jingwei felt sorry for him. But with the exception of a few geniuses such as Qin Gui and Hu Lancheng, it seems that most people disagree.
I often think Churchill thinks of himself as a firefly. What should we ordinary people be like? I'll just be an ordinary beneficial insect. Give only a little light and heat to my relatives, friends and students. I want them to feel that society is progressing, the world is warm and there is hope for mankind.
We should always read The Collection of Mo Chi, carry forward the legacy of the benevolent, inherit the integrity of our predecessors, be an upright China person, and make contributions to the forward development of human society. At least it can make the circle we live in more sunshine and less troubles.
Reflections on the Collection of Mo Chi (Ⅱ)
After reading Ceng Gong's Mo Chi Collection, I was deeply touched. Wang Xizhi's spirit of practicing calligraphy in Linchi inspired me, and at the same time, it also gave me hope for future generations: to gain a skill, you must work hard to be strong. Do it: I can do what everyone can do well and do what everyone can't do well. In addition, people should be virtuous, solemn and upright.
The following are excerpts from the first and second paragraphs of the article, so as to constantly spur me and future generations:
To the east of Linchuan, the land is hidden and high, so Linxi is a new city. Above the new city, there are pools and depressions, but the sides are long, such as Mo Chi by Wang Xizhi and Linchuan Ji by Xun Bozi. The taste of Xihe River longs for Zhang Zhi to study in Linchi, and the water in the pool is completely black. This is an ancient relic. Can you believe it?
Fang Xi can't be an official, but he tastes the east and goes out to sea to entertain mountains and rivers. Is it possible to wander around and try to rest here? The Book of Xi is good at night, and it is unnatural to do whatever you want. Then people who can't reach in the world can't learn as well as others? Then you can learn less! Who wants to learn morality?
It means: there is a raised highland in the east of Linchuan, facing a stream, called Xincheng. Above the new town, there is a low-lying rectangular pool, known as Wang Xizhi's Mo Chi Pool. This is what Xun Bozi said in Linchuan Ji. Xi Zhi once admired Zhang Zhi's spirit of practicing books by the pool and dyeing water black. This is the remains of the ink painting of Xizhi. Is it true?/You don't say.
When Xihe didn't want to be an official, he used to travel all over the East, go out to sea by boat and find happiness among mountains and rivers. Did he ever stay here when he wandered contentedly? Xi zhi's calligraphy was particularly exquisite in his later years, so his ability to be good at calligraphy was cultivated by himself, not born. But none of the descendants can catch up with him. Presumably their learning spirit is not as good as Wang Xizhi's. In this way, study time is indispensable! How high is the requirement of moral cultivation?
