Analysis

Today, from learning to politics, this is the first article for politics. When it comes to "politics", as ordinary people, there is not much love for this word, and history revolves around this word, and there are too many hurts and pains. But no matter what, we are still under the shadow of this word, so we actively understand it, understand it.

First, let's understand this "political" word and how to transition from "learning" to "politics".

The Analects: For the sake of government and morality

The composition of "anti-text" and "positive" is to rely on "strong" management of the crowd to follow a certain order. This is the original meaning of politics.

So how to transition from learning to "politics"?

First, look at the word "learn"

The Analects: For the sake of government and morality

"Learn and learn, don't say anything!" This is the first sentence of the Analects, which unfolds the entire Analects text and has its deep symbolic significance.

What to learn? How to learn? This is another very important question. To learn what, we can look at the structure of the learning word composition "爻".

The Analects: For the sake of government and morality

This word is too mysterious, it is the mystery of heaven and earth. The king of the ancient Bao Clan, Tianxia Ye, looked up at the heavens, looked down at the Law on the earth, watched the birds and beasts of the text and the earth, took the body near and the things from afar, so he began to make gossip, with the virtue of the gods, with the love of all things. Chinese culture has thus arisen. From metaphysical to metaphysical, down-to-earth.

After school, it's xi. xi six arts, xi classics. (Sensitive words with phonetics)

The Analects: For the sake of government and morality

To learn xi is to repeat the recitation and become a human being, an adult, and a ren. Learn xi, learn xi, and the teacher appears. The teacher is "teaching."

The Analects: For the sake of government and morality

Teaching is to use a certain method to let children learn culture and skills. In traditional China, the unity of politics and religion is on these two words. The teaching is oriented to the government, to the courtesy, and to the music. Etiquette is order, it is the right path, and happiness is to make this relationship harmonious and harmonious. Those who have grasped this path are the ones who have attained it. Winner, Tokuya. This is the whole Word.

爻, 學, xi, teaching, benevolence, etiquette, music, politics, virtue, Tao, so smooth. The Four Books, the Six Classics, and the Six Arts are all commentaries on this avenue. This is the dream of the Chinese nation for a thousand years and the ideal of the world. It's really different from other ethnic groups.

Look at this sentence again: "For the government to be virtuous, such as the North Star, dwells in its place and the stars are together." This is a metaphor for the image, and we can understand who can lead the people to the ideal life, who has this bright virtue, who is the leader. A leader, with virtue and a position, is a true leader. This is the ideal, the ideal is naïve, like a fairy tale, what if it is realized? The Chinese nation is always full of hope, just like the sun will always rise from the east, not today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow... There will always be.

Silly, naïve, yes, it's heavy romance.
