However, besides setting an example, Zhuge Liang's educational thought is still worth studying and studying today. His educational thought is famous for the Ten Commandments.
A gentleman's journey is quiet to cultivate one's morality, and frugal to cultivate one's morality. Not cold, not awake, not quiet, not far away. You must be quiet before you can study. If you don't learn, you can't be versatile, and if you don't want to learn, you can't succeed. If you are slow, you can't be energetic, and if you are dangerous, you can't be radical. Time goes by, meaning goes by, and then becomes withered, not meeting the world, and staying in a poor house sadly. What will happen?
The above is the full text of the Book of Commandments written by Zhuge Liang. This ancient prose has been widely circulated in later generations, especially the two sentences in it, "Be quiet to cultivate one's morality, be frugal to cultivate one's morality" and "Nothing can be achieved without being quiet", which still have a very important influence on our study until today.
Zhuge Liang can be described as an all-rounder He is a very famous politician, strategist and writer in ancient times, and he can also be called a famous educator by virtue of the educational thought in the Ten Commandments. In addition to the educational thought in the previous article, Zhuge Liang also wrote a famous book, Liezi: The husband should aim high, worship sages, abandon lust and stagnation, so that the ambition of ordinary people still exists and he feels sad; Endure flexion and extension, remove details, ask questions extensively, except being too stingy. Although I have stayed for a long time, why bother to harm the beauty, why bother to suffer it? If the will is not strong and the intention is not generous, it will be vulgar, silently tied to the feelings, and curled up in the secular forever, which will inevitably be indecent!
Compared with the Ten Commandments, this Ten Commandments for My Nephew is not widely known. However, at the beginning of this ancient prose, there is a very common idiom. The idiom "aim high" came from a friend and still inspires many young people to work hard and succeed today.
In fact, this whole ancient prose is expounding the connotation and significance of this idiom and discussing the value of aiming high. "Mu Xianxian, who never craves and abandons stagnation, makes ordinary people's ambitions show and feels sad" and "forbearing to bend and stretch, subdividing, asking questions widely, despite staying too long, why do you hurt Murray and why do you suffer from adversity" explain the specific methods to maintain high ambition.
The first half focuses more on how to aspire, that is, to follow the example of "sages"; The second half focuses on the specific methods of determination, that is, "be patient, be careful, be broad-minded and be stingy", be patient, get rid of other thoughts, learn with an open mind and be broad-minded.
To do this, even if it is not successful, it is still on the right path. Then Zhuge Liang discussed this problem from the opposite side. "If a person's ambition is not strong, his mind is not generous, his behavior is mediocre, and his feelings are silent, it is inevitable that he will be indecent all his life." If a person does not have lofty aspirations and goes with the flow in secular life, he will certainly not achieve anything.
