【Comrade-in-arms Meiwen】 Originally, "Tian Yongqing's Confucian General Wind" was serialized in a complete way - a total of upper, middle, and lower, not much! But the second (in) General Tian Yongqing's "I have two hard backstages" was not approved and not released (the advantage is that my public account "Green Extension" that binds the headlines was sent out, please pay attention to Ha), which made me (Guo Lei) suffer a little "small blow", so this "next part" was delayed for a few days in the entanglement! The reason why I am sure to publish it resolutely is that the elder brother and comrade-in-arms Zhang Chuanlu personally "caught the knife" of the meticulous work, the three articles are all fine works, this last article can be called a treasure book of life, worth cherishing, appreciating, learning and learning, will benefit for life!

The "Ten Treasures of Life" of the "Confucian General"
Talking about Tian Yongqing's Confucian general style, he can't get past his "Ten Treasures of Life". His original article has been published in people's daily (overseas edition) and the magazine "Secretarial Work" of the CPC Central Committee. This time it was also selected and compiled into this book. Because of the "plagiarism storm" brought about by this article (that is, the "ten sentences sent by the new president of a well-known college or university to college students" circulated on the Internet), there are still insiders who are upset with General Tian, and many people have written articles clarifying the facts and criticizing the plagiarism of the president of the school. General Tian looked at this very lightly. He expressed his attitude in an article published in the fifth issue of the "Secretarial Work" magazine of the General Office of the Central Committee in 2015: "These ten sentences have been hotly discussed after being disseminated, and they have also been rumored to be spoken by the president of a well-known university. I dare not take this seriously. There was also a suggestion from the media that I come out to speak or write an article explaining the situation in order to set the record straight. I think it doesn't matter who said these words, but it's more important if they are useful or not. Realistically speaking, these ten sentences are summarized according to my accumulated feelings over the years. When I went to the above-mentioned university 12 years ago to give a lecture, I did say six sentences, and then added four sentences, which became the ten sentences now. ”
First sentence: Make "two friends": one is the sports field, the other is the library. Go to the sports field to exercise and strengthen your body; go to the library to read a lot of books, and constantly "charge", "store electricity" and "discharge".
The second sentence: cultivate "two kinds of kung fu": one is the duty, the other is the skill. Being a person relies on duty, doing things by relying on ability, and relying on "two books" to start with a reliable family.
The third sentence: Willing to eat "two things": one is to suffer losses, and the other is to suffer. Being a person is not afraid of loss, and doing things is not afraid of hardship. Suffering losses is a blessing, and suffering is a blessing.
Fourth sentence: There are "two kinds of power": one is the power of thought, and the other is the power of the sword. The power of thought often triumphs over the power of the sword. This is Napoleon's famous quote. How far a person's mind goes, he may go.
The fifth sentence: the pursuit of "two consistency": one is the same interest and career, and the other is the consistency of love and marriage. If your interests align with your career, you can maximize your potential. Engels said that marriage should be based on love. Marriage without love is an immoral marriage and will not be a strong marriage.
Sixth sentence: Insert "two wings": one is called ideal, and the other is called perseverance. If a person has these "two wings", he can fly high and fly far.
Seventh sentence: Construct "two pillars": one is science and the other is humanities. This is what the great scientist Qian Xuesen has repeatedly emphasized. A capitalized "person" must be supported by the two pillars of science and humanities.
Eighth sentence: equipped with two "health doctors": one called exercise and one called optimism. Exercise makes you physically healthy and optimism makes you mentally healthy. I don't have any other interests or hobbies as a person, but I have developed two habits over the decades: walking ten thousand steps a day and reading ten pages of books at night.
Ninth sentence: Remember "two secrets": one is the secret of health in the morning and the other is the secret of success in the evening. Get up at dawn, exercise, get fit, and work healthily for 50 years. When necessary, overtime is also used at night, mainly for reading, thinking, and writing. The great scientist Albert Einstein said: The difference between people arises in spare time. Spare time can make a person, but also can destroy a person.
The tenth sentence: the pursuit of "two extremes": one is to exert their own potential to the extreme, and the other is to extend their life and health to the extreme. Nowadays, people's potential is generally only 3%-5%, and it is said that if you can reach 10%, you can memorize 120 British encyclopedias, so try to maximize your potential. We soldiers must not only "not be afraid of suffering and death," but under normal circumstances, we must cherish life, pay attention to health, and strive to extend our life and health to the extreme, so that we can end up without illness and end our lives.
Three names and three mottos of "Confucian General"
How will Confucianism be refined? I think that's one of the most concerned questions for readers. Here are three of his names and three mottos, and you may find the answer.
Let's start with his three names.
The first name of the jai: Double Half Bookstore. This was given to General Tian by the famous writer Mr. Yao Xueyu, which means "half for scholars and half for soldiers". Elder Yao is a well-known writer in the literary world, and his long historical novel "Li Zicheng" has been highly praised by Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping and other revolutionaries of the older generation and the vast number of readers. "Li Zicheng" fills the gap of a long historical novel since May Fourth and is recognized as a landmark literary masterpiece. General Tian had been in contact with Elder Yao for many years, and he had been a close friend of the year.
The second name: Chicken Singing. This is inscribed by the great painter Mr. Guan Shanyue for General Tian, taking the meaning of the idiom "smelling the chicken dancing". General Tian's hometown is Wuji County, Hebei Province, and the five idioms of "unparalleled right", "smelling the chicken dancing", "pillow waiting for Dan", "how difficult to rejuvenate the state", and "xianwu with a whip" are related to the historical and cultural celebrities of Wuji - Tian Uncle of the Western Han Dynasty and Liu Kun of the Western Jin Dynasty. These five idioms, concise and concise, urge people to forge ahead, especially "smell the chicken dancing" is the most praised by the ancient and modern sages.
(Hua Guofeng for Tian Yongqing titled "Smell the Chicken Dancing" Mo Bao)
Since the early 1980s, General Tian began to collect the "Smell the Chicken Dancing" calligraphy ink treasure. In the past 30 years, it has collected hundreds of paintings inscribed by senior leaders of the party, government, and military, calligraphers and celebrities, such as "Smelling the Chicken Dancing". In order to repay his hometown, he selected 228 pieces of "Smelling the Chicken Dancing" calligraphy and donated them to his hometown. The county party committee and the county government attached great importance to this move, and built a calligraphy monument garden of "Smelling Chicken Dancing" in the county park. At present, this stele garden has become a cultural business card of Wuji County, and tourists from other places always like to go there to take a look after coming to Wuji.
The third name is The Garden of Dreams. This is written by the centenarian patriotic old man Yuan Xiaoyuan for General Tian, taking the meaning of "there is a dream in the heart, and the dream comes true". Yuan Xiaoyuan is famous all over the world, she has been patriotic all her life, and she is respected as a centenarian patriotic old man. Her life is full of legends, born in xiangmendi, poetry, good calligraphy and painting, and happy to make friends. In his youth, he broke through the feudal family fence and went to France alone to work and study, and was the first female diplomat in the mainland in the 1940s, or the first female tax collector on the mainland. In the 1970s, she was the first chinese-American scholar to lead a delegation to visit China. In the 1980s, she resolutely gave up her American nationality, returned her son to her hometown, and returned to her roots, where she was cordially met by party and state leaders Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, and other comrades. The well-known novel "The Legend of the New Children's Heroes" was written by her fourth sister Yuan Jing, and Qiong Yao was the daughter of her third sister. At the age of 101, she founded the Yuan Xiaoyuan Art Museum in the ancient capital of Nanjing. At that time, General Tian, Chai Zemin, the first ambassador of New China to the United States, and Chen Haosu, the eldest son of Marshal Chen Yi and president of the China Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, went to congratulate him. Yuan Xiaoyuan talked cordially with the people who came to congratulate him and danced. After that, Yuan Xiaoyuan wrote the name of "Dream Garden" for General Tian, and gave a frame of seven-piece banner to express her health care:
Do not worship Jesus and do not meditate,
I don't believe in Qigong and don't practice boxing.
Where is the medicine of immortality in the world,
Go with the flow for a hundred years.
Let's talk about his three mottos.
First motto: Paul Quotes. It is the famous inner monologue of Paul Kochakin, the protagonist of the novel "How Steel is Made": "The most precious thing of man is life, and life belongs to us only once." Man's life should be lived in such a way that when he looks back on the past, he does not regret his wasted years, nor is he ashamed of his inaction. In this way, on the verge of death, he was able to say: 'My whole life and all my energies have been devoted to the most magnificent cause in the world— the struggle for the emancipation of mankind.' ”
General Tian often said that sometimes a book, a poem, or a sentence can affect or even change a person's life. He said that the former Soviet Union's novel "How Steel is Made" had a huge impact on his life. He also said that although he was a member of the Chinese "Dream of the Red Chamber" Society, he had only systematically read "Dream of the Red Chamber" twice, and he had carefully read the novel "How Steel is Made" three times: he read it once when he was in junior high school, once when he was in military school, and once again when he encountered setbacks after participating in work and when he was in adversity. He believes that every time he reads it, there is a new harvest, a new realization, and a new improvement. In particular, this famous quote of Paul is like a beacon of life, breaking through the fog of life and leading the way forward.
The second motto: Study hard and improve every day. In that year, Chairman Mao once wrote an inscription for primary and secondary school students throughout the country: "Study hard and improve every day." These eight big words are familiar to many people and cannot be forgotten, especially for primary and secondary school students, which has an immeasurable inspirational force. General Tian believes that the eight big words of "study well and improve every day" are not only for primary and secondary school students, but also for middle-aged and elderly people, and should become everyone's lifelong motto. General Tian has maintained two habits for decades: walking ten thousand steps a day and reading ten pages of books at night. If you can't walk 10,000 steps a day and don't read enough ten pages, you won't go to bed.
The third motto: Spring silkworm to the end of the dead silk, the wax torch into gray tears began to dry. These are two sentences from an "untitled" poem written by Li Shangyin in the Tang Dynasty. General Tian said that after retirement, we should not do nothing, but should continue to exert our residual heat and do more things that are beneficial to the country, society, the army, and the people. Retirement is the end of a military career, but for the whole of life, it is only a semicolon. If you say that you belong to your parents when you are a child and belong to society after you work, then you belong to yourself after retirement. When working, you do "prescribed actions", and after retirement, you can do some "optional actions". The real life begins after retirement. To this end, he set up a "8383 retirement life plan" for himself. Eight-character goals: happy, promising, healthy, longevity. Three rules: do not smear the party and the army, do not ask about the work of the original unit, and do not discuss the future leadership team. Eight items: fitness, reading, writing, speech, collecting, dating, traveling, and practicing words. Three-self policy: take care of yourself, go to self-study university (set yourself a 10-year reading plan), and become a freelance writer. On his sixty-sixth birthday, General Tian wrote a poem about his own life: "Sixty-six years in the world, bitter, spicy, sour and sweet, laughing in the second spring of life, it is not enough to live for a hundred years." Mr. Wen Huaisha, a famous scholar and Chuci expert who was ninety-seven years old at the time, wrote a short article commenting: Yongqing's poem is both vulgar and elegant, and its character and poetry are also valuable in nature!
This poem vividly and vividly summarizes the real living conditions of General Tian, which is admired and admired.
Confucian General Tian Yongqing is 81 years old this year! He has repeatedly stated that "four are not high": "My blood pressure is not high, my blood sugar is not high, my blood lipids are not high, and one point is that my level is not high." "He is mentally strong, quick-witted, physically and mentally healthy, who is like an elderly man?" I agree with the poem of the famous red scholar Mr. Sun Yuming:
"The general is eighty like eighteen, childlike and elegant."
Next year today I wish my brother a happy birthday, and August 1st is still 18th."
"Ten years after the ancient rarity, youth is still childish.
Who said there was no elixir, the eighty teenagers were originally surnamed Tian".
Taking this opportunity, let's replay the oil poem written by Tian Yongqing on his 65th birthday in December 2005, which is actually quite Polite:
I want to be a star,
What star do you want to be?
Life is not a dream,
I want to be an old birthday star!
Before "Tian Yongqing's Confucian General Wind" was finished, I remembered that he wrote a message for an article for me:
My self-positioning is: I am a petty official, but a clean official. I think so do you! In the context of the past ten years of reverse elimination, our ending is conceivable, and I am glad that such an ending is very good! We don't have to worry, don't have to be afraid, we can do what we like, mainly exercise, reading, writing, speaking, our retirement life is very rich, very fulfilling, and very meaningful! We do not envy those high-ranking officials who will do nothing when they retire, and we despise those high-ranking officials who run for office and ask for corruption and bribery. In short, we are very good, live well, live with residual heat, bow down, and die later.
Tasting the above message, let me feel the thick "Confucian wind" overflowing from the old chief's body again!
