Culture is not a hard thing similar to the "condition" in blind dates, it does not belong to the hardware configuration, but is more reflected in the software attributes.
Reading a lot of books, and having a culture, is not a simple linear relationship.
Some people, who have read a lot of books, do not necessarily have any culture, and some people, who have not read any books, will also have extraordinary temperament and cultivation.
Therefore, what I understand as culture is not simply how many books I have read, how many places I have been, how many stories I have experienced, nor how highly educated I am.
Many highly educated people are actually not sound personalities, and where can we talk about being cultured.
What is culture?
1. Parenting
This is the most basic trait of culture. Sven, polite and gentle, these words were used in ancient times to describe people who read books, cultured people.
Because the ancient people, basic education, that is, the classics of the Four Books and Five Classics, after reading these books, the shaping of personality is completely different from the pure intellectual education in education that emphasizes function and does not emphasize self-cultivation.
Although modern education, emphasis is placed on the cultivation of practical effects and functional aspects.
However, if a person, who has read many books and has been studying for many years, does not even have the minimum polite upbringing of how to behave, then it can only be said that the personality is not sound. After the long is crooked, the personality is crooked after it is formed, then the back will grow longer and more crooked. The damage to others and society will also grow.
The essence of a well-bred person is that one's popularity is peaceful. Qi is harmonious and has a pleasant color, and if there is a pleasant color, there is a graceful appearance. That's what's behind parenting. Qi is harmonious, then the spirit is willing to give up the heart, and the determination is introverted. You don't even think about abusing others.
An uncultured person, on the contrary, has a uneven heart and a harmonious temper. People who are angry, do not make something out, do not toss others, is not comfortable.
People who lack education, the whole person's qi machine, is not only chaotic, but also outward expansion type, partial qi, pounced on others, will give people a sense of aggression, uncomfortable, this is domineering, rough and annoying.
Second, temperament
This is the quality that raises a realm of upbringing. There are poems and books in the belly, Haoran Zhengqi, Jiyu Xuanang, Yushu Linfeng, personable, outstanding, and so on.
These words are used to describe the temperament of a cultured person. With a determined and restrained harmony. Continue to sublimate, continue to accumulate.
This cloud of qi can even pass through the body and emit radiance and light. Let people look at it, they feel that this person has extraordinary temperament.
This trait is not something that can be pretended, nor can it be acted out. It can only be accumulated and cultivated day by day.
Modern people do not pay much attention to the cultivation of the body and mind. Mostly make a fuss in the external world, focusing on social attributes and forgetting their own spiritual attributes.
Too much focus on social attributes, you will think that the temperament is that the car you drive is better than others, eats and wears better than others, and what conditions are better than others.
In fact, it is reversed.
The super runner man, and the gold chain man on the barbecue stall, in essence, there is no difference. Inner barrenness requires external decoration.
The more elaborate the external decoration, the cheaper the inner temperament: there is no cultural accumulation, no social nobility, and a person's spiritual attributes, sometimes negative correlation.
Zhuangzi said that those who have deep extravagance have shallow opportunities.
Third, care
Ancient road hot sausage, treat people sincerely, quite an ancient gentleman's style. That's the kind of person you describe.
This is not the result of ideological and moral education, nor is it the cultivation of social morality, but when a person, qi and god, quiet and introverted, and righteous qi are full of body, he will inevitably show such concern for people and things and society.
