"The Night Talk of the Hearth": Talking about the great economy, it is just a real settlement

Twenty-seventh rule

The shrew cries and scolds, and there are not many tricks, but quiet and calm, then stop themselves. Although the situation is very urgent, it is self-defeating to ignore it.

Deal with problems calmly, not add fuel to the fire. Also grasp the timing, the other side should be at its most imposing, avoid. In the entanglement of right and wrong, the more entangled, the more difficult it is to unravel, only to put it down first, treat it indifferently, find a clue, and naturally it is easy to unravel.

Twenty-eighth rule

In the pit of saving people, there is a living bodhisattva; if he can escape from the cage, he is a great hero.

Observe oneself and others. It is difficult for people to send charcoal in the snow, which is mostly the icing on the cake. The big cage that has escaped from death and life is Nobita.

Twenty-ninth rule

Temperament is obedient, most of them are the sons of death; the language is profound, and they are ultimately blessed people.

Temperamental, stubborn or too public, often difficult to get along with others, can not reconcile with themselves, either suppressed loneliness, or anger, such people, hurt others and hurt themselves. The language is profound, here is not the meaning of philosophical profundity, but vitriol, it is easy to offend people, can not get along well with people, lost the way and lack of help, so the blessings are thin.

Article 30

Ambition must not be high, and if the ambition is not high, then it will be in the same stream, and there is nothing to do; the heart must not be too big, and the heart must not be too big, then it is far away from the near and far, and the difficult period will be successful.

Take the law from above, get it from it, and the ambition cannot be small. It is difficult to figure out, it is more difficult to be more than fine, the heart is too big, it is difficult to have action, and it is difficult to see this and that, which is difficult to achieve.

Thirty-first

It is not a disgrace to be poor and lowly, and it is an insult to be poor and covetous; it is not glorious to be rich, and it is proud to be rich and prosperous. Talking about the great economy is only a real implementation; with true learning, it is by no means strange and strange.

Poverty is a temporary state, just as wealth is a temporary state. The conversation between Zigong and Confucius is interesting. He said, what if the poor are not flattering, and the rich are not arrogant? Confucius replied that it would be better to remain content here when poor and take pleasure in walking the path, and to be polite when rich and noble, and to set an example for society. Zigong said that there is such a sentence in the book of poetry: If the jade is roughly cut and finely polished, it is the two states of poverty and wealth. Confucius was very happy to hear this, and said: Duanmu Ci, tell you a truth, you will know how to use this truth, and now I can talk to you about the teaching of "Poetry"! (Zi Gong Yue: "Poor and unscrupulous, rich and not proud, how?" Zi Yue: "But also." Those who are not poor and happy, rich and courteous. Zi Gong Yue: "Poetry" Cloud: Such as cutting as a discussion, such as pondering as a mill, and its si is said to be related to the work. Zi Yue: "Give it to you, and you can say that the "poem" has been completed, and tell those who know the past." ”）

These two sentences are a relationship between the source, the dialogue between Zigong and Confucius, standing in the school, the inner saint and the outer king, the poor and the lowly seek the inner saint, the rich and the noble inner saint and the outer king, the poor are good at their own, and the da is also good for the world. Between the poor and the rich, they are all an enterprising scholar, but the situation of doing learning is different.

Whether people are poor or rich, sick or healthy, and always adhere to benevolence and benevolence, they are established. It is also said in the "Book of Learning" that "knowledge is accessible, strong and not reactionary". In order to learn, the key is to establish, what is the persistence? It is the "nature" of "the destiny of heaven", Confucius called it "benevolence", in the university it is called "Mingde", Mencius called it "sexual goodness", Wang Yangming called it "conscience", and Buddha called it "Buddha-nature, enlightenment", choosing it and stubbornly.

"The Night Talk of the Hearth", the words that this old man is talking to the children of the family, is to be a person and do things, to talk about some principled things, in order to prosper the family and be able to pass on continuously. Therefore, "The Night Talk of the Hearth" is mainly the study of self-cultivation and family, but it is the work of self-cultivation and learning to govern the country and the world.
