Mr. Qian Mu in class
I have lived my life from childhood to old age, but I have only learned what is close to sex. I asked myself that in my life I only respected Confucius, but I only learned the way of being a man from what the Analects said, not from Confucius's Spring and Autumn Period, and I was determined to become a historian. ......
I have done research in my life, but I can say that I dare not love fashion or make a splash, and I dare not admire and follow the trend of the times, but I am close to my own nature and from what I like. To this day, I often advise my students not to be fashionable people. The world has changed, the times are also changing, three years and five years, ten years and eight years, the heavens and the earth have changed, and the fashionable is not fashionable. Therefore, a person who does not learn fashionable can not seek the so-called success of the masses for a while, but he does not care about failure.
In my life, I have most faithfully adhered to the three words of Confucius in the first chapter of the Analects: "Learn and learn from time to time, and do not say what you want." There are friends from afar, and they are very happy. People don't know and don't care, they are not gentlemen! "This is the greatest program for teaching us to be a human being, that is, to teach us to do learning." Not a day since I was seven years old has not read. I'm ninety-three years old, I couldn't see it ten years ago, but I still want to hear it every day. What I yearn for in my mind is that confucius is only one person, and I am only trying to learn from the Analects that Confucius is one of the thousands of people. Others opposed me and snubbed me, and I didn't care. I am only reluctant to be a so-called villain in Confucius's Analects, "People do not know and are not ashamed, but they are not gentlemen!" ”
In China, traditionally, to do learning, we have to talk about "tong", I am not specialized in studying what modern people call a literary expert or historian, it can also be said that I only seek to study in a large group of "people"...
