2002 "Mirror" "There are various 'mirrors' around us. Some people see the changes in their appearance from 'it' in the flow of time; some people in the drama of life, The true self can be seen from 'it'; but there are also people who are unwilling or unable to face 'it'. Try writing an article with the title of 'Looking into the Mirror'. There is no limit on the length of the article." "You can use copper as a mirror. Keep your clothes straight; use history as a mirror to know the ups and downs; use people as a mirror to know the gains and losses." Taizong of the Tang Dynasty said. The mirror is a mirror. The purpose of the mirror is to give you something to learn from so that you can better regulate your behavior. The vast history of the Chinese nation is such a bright mirror. Every time we look back at the present and recall the past, we can always gain a lot.
Nowadays, people's hearts seem to be becoming more and more fragile. They consider themselves the most unfortunate people in the world when they encounter a small setback. Yesterday I saw another newspaper report about the suicide of college students, and I sighed deeply. A young life withered before it had time to bloom. The reason for his suicide turned out to be just a cold rejection during a job interview. I can’t help but sigh, it’s time for modern people to take a good look in the mirror.
The mirror of history will teach us how to face setbacks.
Li Bai, the immortal poet, once "laughed up to the sky and went out" and chanted "How can I be a Penghao person?" However, the secular slander, the intrigues in the officialdom, and the indifference of reality cooled the enthusiasm he had when he came out of Sichuan with a sword. Faced with such a setback, Shixian said, "It's easy to spot a blue fly, but it's hard to harmonize with white snow!" and walked away. I cannot make a "great temple" in this life, but "I am born with talents that will be useful." A hundred knots of sorrow and an eternity of troubles are nothing more than a glass of turbid wine! Be careful when the clouds in the mirror open, and when you step against the waves, the rays of light break through the mist, and the sails are blown by the wind. As a result, the Wenyuan poetry circle resounded with the powerful evening singing of the poet.
At the same time, history also allows us to see that Xiang Yu, the former overlord of Western Chu, magnified his pain when he encountered setbacks, creating his own tragic life.
History tells us that a life without setbacks is not as wonderful and magnificent as it is; and a life that is addicted to the pain after setbacks and cannot extricate itself is destined to be a tragic life.
Faced with the alarming increase in suicide incidents, I also found that they have an astonishing similarity: the reason for suicide is that they care too much about other people's evaluation of themselves or some insignificant things. Little things. I can't help but wonder: Why are modern people so short-sighted?
History tells me that it is because they only see themselves and have no higher pursuits and beliefs to support them, so they lack thinking and understanding of the value of their own lives. Let’s let the mirror of history show us what we should pursue in life.
Chu Zi meditated by the lake, and even after nine deaths, he had no regrets; Zhang Qian chased the camel bell and rode alone across the Tianshan Mountains; Wei Qing's flag rolled, and the heavy snow covered his bow and sword; the heroine of Jianhu shed blood for the country, so majestic... …
History impacts our hearts: people not only live for themselves, but also bear responsibility for others and the motherland.
History is a mirror. It says that setbacks are the blessings of life. It says that life should have higher and loftier pursuits. It says that "the hair and skin of your body are influenced by your parents." With the benefit of this mirror It shows that people should not give up their divine life easily no matter what.
The philosopher said that this era is an era of not thinking. In the busy traffic, people forget their existence and lose their lives. So, let us enshrine the mirror of history in our hearts and always advise ourselves on how to live a life without regrets.
The mirror hangs high.
