Aesop's Fables is a treasure in ancient Greek literature, which has been fondled for thousands of years with its unique wisdom and artistic charm. Indeed, that's why I chose this one among many famous books.
Every story in the book has profound meaning ―― yes, this is the characteristic of fable, and this literary genre has reached its peak with Aesop's brushwork.
Most stories reflect life experiences and extraordinary wisdom. Some stories teach people to think comprehensively ―― two frogs; Others explained that you can't go against nature and do things reluctantly-turtles and eagles; There are other expressways, so don't make empirical mistakes ―― donkey carrying salt and so on.
Of all the stories, I think the most convincing one is the short-sighted thrush.
This story tells that a beautiful thrush eats the fruit of Myrtle tree every autumn. One year, when the fruit on the myrtle tree was not ripe, the winter bird ran to the myrtle tree every day to sing: "A beautiful life is coming, how happy my heart is, looking forward to the time when flowers bloom there." In this way, the thrush sings every day. A hunter found it and waited there. The fruit bears, and the thrush comes to eat it all day every day. Finally, the hunter tied it with a stick. It sang: "Myrtle's fruit is so sweet, but it is you who hurt me, because I was so greedy for your incomparable sweetness that I lost my life ..."
The meaning of this story is, don't be too greedy for something, it will ruin your life. Be far-sighted, not short-sighted like a thrush. Myrtle's fruit is delicious, but when you don't even know the danger, it means that death is not far from you.
This is just like us. If a student is too addicted to games and goes to the Internet cafe behind his teacher's parents' backs every day, it will last all day. If you go on like this, you will definitely lose a lot: you will waste money for a while, and all your parents' hard-earned money will be used by you to play games for a while-is it worth it? Second, I will use my eyes to transition. My eyes are the windows to my soul, which is so important! If you don't take good care of your eyes, you will wear 1000 degree eyes in the future-are you tired? Third, and most importantly, if you indulge in games, you will unconsciously ruin a good time to absorb knowledge ―― OK?
Playing games should be enough. It is a kind of relaxation and entertainment, but if you regard it as a job, a task or a major, I believe it will not do you any good. Students, study is the most important thing. If you can put aside all distractions and concentrate on your studies, it is only a matter of time before you get good grades in the exam.
Finally, I want to say a few words: I am not eloquent, but I am really savvy! All the truth is hidden in the article, but this is just a fable for me ―― I won't say more.
These feelings are caused by occasionally reading Aesop's fables. Yes, Aesop's fables can be read. It at least gives
We have three comforts. First, this is an ancient book. Reading it can enhance our pride in modern civilization. Second,
It's a children's book. The more you read it, the more you feel like an adult, beyond those childish opinions. Third, this book.
Almost everyone is talking about animals, from animals to people, you see how many evolutionary processes are needed! We saw many bats.
The behavior and speech of bats, foxes, etc. I have the feeling of visiting poor friends and returning to my hometown after I get rich. But poor friends need our help.
Help, children should be taught by us, so after reading Aesop's fables, I also feel that there are many shallow opinions that must be corrected.
This is absolutely impossible.
For example, the story of bats: bats pretend to be birds when they meet birds, and pretend to be beasts when they meet beasts. People are much smarter than bats. He will.
The bat method is applied in reverse: in birds, you should pretend to be an animal to show that you are down to earth; In mammals, you should pretend to be a bird to show your height.
Beyond the world. Show off elegance to soldiers and be a hero to literati; In the upper class, he is a poor and hard civilian. Speaking of civilians.
In the middle, he is a condescending cultural element: this is certainly not a bat, this is just a person.
The story of ants and the popularization of weaving: in winter, ants dry the winter rice; I was so hungry that I borrowed it from ants.
Grain, the ant said, "it is you who sing and play in summer." You deserve to be hungry now! " "This story should have more content. According to Cypress,
Latour's Phaedrus said that he promoted the evolution of knitting and became a poet. According to this inference, sit and watch the poet be poor.
People who are hungry and refuse to borrow money are undoubtedly ants. If you starve to death, you will become food for ants. Similarly, support before death
A great writer who just lives on his own, after his death, a large number of people depend on him, such as relatives and friends who write memories and miss words.
Friends, critics and scholars who write research papers.
The story of the dog and his own shadow: the dog crossed the bridge with meat in his mouth and saw the shadow in the water, thinking it was another dog with meat in his mouth; because
And give up the meat in your mouth, fight with the shadow, grab the meat from the shadow and throw away all the meat in your mouth. This fable book
It means to quit greed, and now it can be applied to other aspects. It is said that everyone needs a mirror, and they can always learn from it.
Photos, knowing what you are. However, people who know themselves don't need to look in the mirror at all, and people who don't know themselves look in the mirror.
It's useless-for example, this dog with meat in it, after looking in the mirror, will make it shout and treat its own shadow as an attack.
The object of barking. It can be seen that some things are best not to look in the mirror.
Astronomer's story: the astronomer looked at the stars on his back, fell into the well and shouted "help"; His neighbors heard it,
Sighed and said, "Who told him to look only at the heights, regardless of the underground!" " "Just look up, no matter the result at the foot, sometimes look down.
Well, sometimes it's stepping down or stepping down. However, after going down, I will never say that I accidentally fell, only that I intend to be a subordinate.
Investigation and work. For example, this astronomer has a good excuse: sitting on a well and observing the sky. Really, after we went down, our eyes still looked up.
Crow story: God wants to choose the most beautiful bird to be the king of birds. The crow put the peacock's long hair on his body and put it in his tail.
In fact, I went to God to choose, and as expected, I was chosen by God. The other birds were so angry that they tore off all their feathers.
Show the crow's true colors. In other words: artists are not necessarily the ones with long hair; On the other hand, baldness and hairlessness.
People, of course, are not necessarily scholars or thinkers, and nothing grows in their minds. What do you think will happen? This fable
It's not over yet. The crow's borrowed feathers have all been plucked out by others, and now it shows its true colors, shame and anger. I suggest we just let it go.
Their natural hairiness will also be cleaned up. Then everyone will be naked and see what the real peacock, swan and crow have to do.
Separate. This method of hiding shame is at least commonly used by human beings.
The story of the cow and the frog: Mother frog summoned up her courage and asked the little frog, "Is the cow as big as me?" The little frog replied, "Please don't."
It's going up, be careful of your belly bursting! "This female frog is so stupid! She shouldn't be bigger than the cow, she should be smaller than the cow. place
Every one of our shortcomings has been compensated, from stingy to honest, from mean to flexible, from incompetent to passive Nuo Nuo.
De. Therefore, there is no woman who feels unlovable, and there is no man who feels inferior to others. In this way, each has its own.
Of course it will not be peaceful.
The story of the old woman and the hen: The old woman keeps a hen and lays an egg every day. The old woman is greedy and will ask for it one day.
Lay two eggs and feed her double. Since then, chickens have become fatter and fatter, and they no longer lay eggs-so they are no longer greedy. Aesop was wrong! He should say,
Big fat people tend to be narrow-minded.
The story of the fox and the grape: The fox saw the ripe grapes on the vine and wanted to give up without opening his mouth.
Comfort yourself and say, "This grape may still be sour. Don't eat it!" Even after eating, they will say, "This grape is really good.
Very sour. If he is an unsatisfied fox, he says to himself, because the reality is "not ideal enough".
If he is a very proud fox, he will tell others because
Complaining can save others from sharing sweetness.
The story of the donkey and the wolf: When the donkey saw the wolf, he pretended to have a wound on his leg and said to the wolf, "Please pull out the thorn on your foot, lest."
Your tongue was stabbed when you ate me. The wolf believed it and concentrated on finding the thorn. He was kicked by the donkey and ran away. He sighed and said, "God sent me to do it."
A dead butcher, why be a doctor! "Of course this is ridiculously naive. He didn't know that doctors were butchers.
Kindness
These examples can prove that Aesop's Fables is not suitable for modern children's books. Rousseau in Emile.
In the second volume, children object to reading fables, and they think they have bad intentions. Take a fox as an example, telling a crow's mouth that children should watch.
Now, I will not sympathize with the deceived crow, but I will envy the deceitful fox. If there is, doesn't it prove that the child is motivated?
Come and owe me an iou, okay? Whether children should read fables depends on what kind of world and society we adults are creating.
Children grow up to live. Rousseau thinks that fables will make simple children complicated and lose their innocence. Why not?
Yes I think fable is unacceptable, because it makes simple children more naive and thinks that human beings are right or wrong.
The result of good and evil is as fair and clear as between animals, and when they grow up, they will be fooled everywhere. The reason is that,
Rousseau is a primitivism, advocating retro, and I believe in progress-although I don't like it.
The fabled fly, sitting on the axle of the wheel, hummed and cried, "The progress of the car is my strength."
Fable is a magic bag. The bag is small, but you can take a lot of things out of it, even things much bigger than the bag. Fable is a unique bridge through which we can move from complexity to simplicity and from simplicity to richness. Walking back and forth on this bridge several times, we not only saw colorful life phenomena, but also discovered the inner meaning of life. The beauty of fable lies in conciseness, connotation and sentence.
Probably everyone has heard the story of fox and goat, right? It is about the fox who fell into the well coaxed the goat into the well, then jumped out of the well on the goat's back, but left the goat. It tells people: to do good, we should also look at the object, so as not to be deceived. Maybe everyone will say: where can I find such a stupid "goat" now? However, I did meet such a silly "goat" once in real life. That time I went on a trip,
