September 29, 2023, the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, is another Mid-Autumn Festival of the year. It is a beautiful day when the moon is full in the sky and the earth is reunited. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, but also bumped into the National Day, double festival approach, eight-day long holiday, really happy. The bright moon in the sky is shining, and the reunion of thousands of families on the ground is joyful, and the whole world is celebrating together, and there is a festive and peaceful festive atmosphere.
In fact, this day is no different from the fifteenth day of the month in nature. The full moon is just a change in the orbit of the sun, the earth, and the moon. It was only the ancestors who gave it the concept of "festival" that made this day fire out of the circle, appearing different, shining brightly, and famous for thousands of years.
The moon is full and mid-autumn, the moonlight is like water, bright and soft, it is a symbol of the beauty of the world, like a "god" like existence. While people appreciate the beauty of the moon, they also give it too much mission and spiritual sustenance, and even some people find an object, want the moon guy to be a "red lady", "the moon represents my heart", it seems that the moon this big guy, tired of living.
The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the awe and worship of celestial bodies in ancient times. It is a kind of sacrifice and celebration of the abundance of autumn grains in agricultural civilization. It is also the spiritual sustenance and totem of people's pursuit of beauty. In fact, all important festivals in the world are a kind of sacrifice, a kind of commemoration, a inheritance of civilization, and a spiritual sustenance in people's pursuit of beauty.
The connotation of the Mid-Autumn Festival is constantly reforming and evolving with the development of the times. The Mid-Autumn Festival in the modern sense, of course, is not just to eat two mooncakes and take two days off. Reunion, roundness, harmony and harmony, and a sense of peace are probably the main meaning of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the world.
Peace represents harmony, harmony, auspiciousness, perfection and beauty. Since ancient times, reunion, roundness, and peace have been a beautiful ideal that generations have been striving for. A family, quarreling every day; A global village that fights every day. Hot war, cold war, how to talk about peace and consummation? In this beautiful time when the sea rises and the moon rises, thousands of miles together, facing many unsatisfactory things in life, it always makes people confused and makes people think.
Humans are social animals. In order to pursue the ideal of a better life, human beings live in groups, which defines that human society must advocate collectivism. Individuals, there are "isms". However, extreme individualism is the root of the common good of other human beings. "Extreme individualism" is a kind of doctrine that only cares about the individual, ignoring or even damaging the interests of others. Its enlarged version is the imperial model of free competition capitalism and monopoly capitalism based on private ownership of the means of production, and the result is the polarization that leads to increasing disparities among human beings, "Zhumen wine smells of flesh, and the road has frozen bones." Capital is money, wealth, it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad. However, with the addition of "ism", it has become a low-level animal "law of the jungle" style demon, wantonly trampling on human dignity and life. 20% or even fewer people own more than 80% of society's wealth. 80% of the people own 20% or even less of the wealth of society, forcing the masses of the people to strike and march again and again in order to survive; Again and again, the pole has risen and the dynasty has changed. If you read the history of human class society for thousands of years, it is impossible to do so. Whether you want it or not, whether you are conscious or passive, in the long river of history, class society is an inevitable product of the development of productive forces to a certain stage. The demise of class society is also the inevitable result of the development of the productive forces to a higher stage. Don't know what "capitalism" and "monopoly capitalism" are? Without reading a textbook on political economy, it is clear to look at American virtues.
Some people always admire beauty and always want to run to the United States; Some people look at the general trend of the world and always think that the United States has "many friends". What is the essence of the problem? It is the difference in the "isms" that individuals and countries adhere to, and whether they safeguard the interests of the vast majority of people or the interests of a minority.
At present, the development of the world is once again at a crossroads. On September 26, the Information Office of the State Council issued a white paper entitled "Working Together to Build a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind: China's Initiatives and Actions", advocating the building of lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness, inclusiveness, and a clean and beautiful world. It represents the voice of the vast majority of people in the world, answers the questions of the times, and points out the way forward for the global village. The Western powers, represented by the United States, follow the law of the jungle by strength, and they pursue hegemony, plunder, oppression and exploitation. These are two "isms" of world governance, two paths, and two destinies. To uphold human fairness and justice, civilization and progress, and realize a better future for mankind, we must firmly stand on the side of the broadest masses of the people and take the socialist road of common prosperity.
The progress of human society is tortuous. However, the people's desire for a better life and the development of productive forces are the driving force for the progress of social civilization and a mighty historical trend. Although dark clouds sometimes obscure the sun and moon, from the perspective of history, it is a short moment. After the storm, the sun and moon will always shine on the earth with their brilliant flames. If there is love in the sky, the sky is also old, and the right way in the world is vicissitudes.
The state has the national fortune, the family has the family fortune, the pursuit of perfection, peace, the economic foundation is an important support, at the same time, for the world, the correctness of the guiding ideology, especially mutual respect and tolerance, is more decisive, many times, personal happiness, family harmony, social harmony, and material conditions have nothing to do with it. The widest in the world is the ocean, wider than the ocean is the sky, and wider than the sky is the heart. Tolerance is a quality, a cultivation, a courtesy, a realm, a virtue, and a road to receiving people and things. Tolerance is a kind of wisdom, a kind of free arrogance. There is nothing more powerful, more confident, more charismatic than tolerance. Throughout history, throughout the ages, all those who have achieved great deeds have a broad mind that embraces all rivers, and the three religions and nine streams under their command are used for them. Virtue can carry things, and broad-mindedness can achieve great things.
Society is composed of people, people's character, character, thinking, ability, etc. are different, differences are easy to produce contradictions, get along with the need for tolerance, tolerance, which is one of the necessary virtues for human sociality. Those who become big businesses need to learn tolerance, small businesses also need to learn tolerance, society needs tolerance, colleagues and friends also need tolerance, and tolerance is also indispensable for living at home. To behave and deal with things, we must abandon narrow-mindedness and selfishness, lack of reason, lack of understanding of great gifts, obscenity and ignorance of the general problems, and be frank and generous, and treat others generously. Imagine, do not understand etiquette, do not know how to respect others, ignorant and willful; Imagine, every day in the small belly chicken intestines, suspicious ghosts, so troublesome, calculating, fart big things can not afford to put down, this kind of person can live without getting tired?
The inscription of Qing Dynasty calligrapher Zheng Banqiao "Rare confusion" is about this truth. If a family does not have tolerance, it will have nothing to do. If there is no tolerance in interpersonal relationships, there will be constant friction and chickens and dogs will be restless. Without tolerance in international relations, there will be a flood of smoke and no peace in the country. Of course, tolerance is not without limits and principles. Principle and flexibility are dialectical unity.
The road is simple, tolerance is great.
The formation of an excellent character, a kind of pure green way, comes from the tempering of time, from strict self-discipline, and more from the practice of perseverance. The famous article "University" of Chinese Studies said it well: Those who want to be peaceful must first rule their country, those who want to govern the country must first join their families, those who want to unite their families must first cultivate their bodies, and those who want to cultivate themselves must first correct their hearts. In short, it is to cultivate oneself and govern the country with one heart. In a word, to be virtuous and generous, we must first cultivate oneself with a right heart. The most you can harvest is a tree. Be generous, but reap a forest. We must all maintain a virtuous, generous and benevolent heart, be kind to all encounters around us, be kind to ourselves in old age, be frank, be benevolent and generous, not be shocked by honor or disgrace, and stay calm.
The moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time. Or what Su Shi's old master said: people have sorrow and joy, the moon has clouds and sunshine, and this matter is difficult to complete. I hope that people will be long-term and live together. In this beautiful time of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I wish the world:
The moon is full, the bread is round, the reunion, the event is round, the reunion is round, the circle is complete;
National peace, family peace, people, things, harmony, harmony, beauty and beauty.
