"At the beginning of people, nature is good, sex is similar, Xi is far away" This is the catchy "Three Character Classic" on campus when I was a child, and these sentences are deeply engraved in my heart.
As a good book for enlightenment when I was a child, "The Book of Three Characters" is also an enlightenment book for children in ancient times.
Ancient "Lesson Plan" "Three Character Classic"
The "Three Character Classic" is said to have been written by Wang Yinglin, a Jinshi during the Chunyou period of the Southern Song Dynasty. The writing was catchy, easy to understand and concise, and it immediately attracted widespread attention and quickly became the favorite lesson plan of private school gentlemen.
One day in the second year of Longqing (1568), after Xu Jie, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and others went down to the court, they met the 5-year-old prince Zhu Yijun in the palace.
The prince greeted them: "Gentlemen, have worked hard!", Xu Jie was very happy to see that the prince was polite and polite. It's time for a prince of this age to go to school.
Xu Jie said: "At this age, Your Highness, it's time to study and go to school!"
The prince looked at them and said, "I've finished reading the "Three Character Classic"!" As soon as these words came out, the old ministers were stunned.
Why did the prince read a "Three Character Classic" and make these old ministers so excited?
It turns out that the "Three Character Classic" is about 1,000 words, which carries the knowledge of etiquette, astronomy, and so on.
In the private school, I started reading at the age of seven or eight, but I didn't expect the 5-year-old prince to have finished learning, which is likely to be an excellent prince!
This can also be seen that the "Three Character Classic" had a deep influence in those dynasties at that time.
And although it involves a lot of fields, after all, with the change of dynasties, there is still something missing.
Therefore, after the additions of later generations, the historical part was directly extended to the Republic of China, that is, all the contents of the "Three Character Classic" that are now bought in bookstores.
So, in addition to the popular children's books like "The Three Character Classic", are there any other good things for enlightenment?
The ups and downs of "Disciple Rules".
Although the "Three Character Classic" is concise and concise, it is too general, emphasizing morality, but neglecting to explain the code of conduct when he was a child.
Therefore, after the changes of the times, in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, "Di Zi Gui" appeared.
"Di Zi Gui" literally knows that this is a bad habit that regulates students' behavior and restricts them.
"Parents call, don't delay. Parents, don't be lazy. "It's a classic, and it correctly guides children to treat their parents.
"With characters, you must ask clearly. If you don't ask, you steal. Borrow the character and return it in time. After there is an emergency, it is not difficult to borrow".
It is easy to understand, and directly informs the etiquette and reason of dealing with people.
It became a code that children must remember, and at that time, the status of "Di Zi Gui" and "Three Character Classic" was equally high, and it was a compulsory subject for children who went to private schools.
However, a different voice came.
Many people believe that there are many incorrect or even seriously wrong cognitions in the "Disciple Rules". It is a product of feudal ideology, mixed with a lot of great truths and feudal dogmas.
"Hate me, filial piety" No matter how your parents are, you still reflect on yourself to be filial. "Cry with you, tart without complaints", even if you are beaten by your parents, you must have no complaints and no regrets.
These are all false and empty words that can no longer be faked in the eyes of these people, which are really incomprehensible, and these are teaching children to have no regrets, but they do not mention the contribution of parents at all.
It's not just hard for modern people to do it, it's also rare for ancient times.
"Di Zi Gui" is often criticized, and even the author who wrote it is inevitably ridiculed, saying that he is just a showman, and what he writes is just not good.
Although there is dross in "Di Zi Gui", it is still very good in education, both catchy and rhyming, and it is a classic reading of Mengxue.
One sentence can help children memorize a lot of truths, which is more effective than five or six lessons.
Therefore, we should not give it up directly, but take its essence and remove its dross, and throw away the concept of detachment from the times, and those classic teachings must be properly chanted.
Other Ancient Enlightenment Readings
It is the most important Mongolian reading book since the Ming and Qing dynasties, and "Di Zi Gui" is a Mongolian reading book since the middle of the Qing Dynasty.
So apart from these two giants, are there any other high-quality enlightenment books?
Before the Song Dynasty, there were also. "Mengqiu" written by Li Han, a Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty, lists a lot of celebrity knowledge, is a four-character reading, with a lot of encouraging stories, can make children easily recognize words, and it is still circulating.
A little further on, there was the well-known "Thousand Character Text", which consisted of 1,000 non-repetitive Chinese characters to form a neat four-character knowledge, and it was also a very popular lesson plan for private school teachers at that time.
In the Han Dynasty, there were "Cangjie Chapter", "Urgent Chapter", "Training Chapter", "Fan Jiang Chapter" and "Joy Chapter", which covered a lot of natural knowledge and could effectively teach children to read and write.
Look yes, it's a pity, it's basically lost, and now only "Urgent" is still there.
In the pre-Qin period, the system was still rigorous, entering school at the age of 8 and going to university at the age of 15. Children begin to learn Poetry at the age of 10.
However, this book was originally mixed with a lot of things that could not be put on the table, which was not suitable for children to learn, so later generations began to add and delete them.
Later, the effect was also good, not to mention that there were certain achievements in education in ancient times, but the children were also very happy.
They will relax their body and mind after studying, although they do not have mobile phones now, they do have a lot of toys!
"Mo Drink Le" is also known as the ancient "Barbie doll", which is very popular, and as soon as the snow comes home, I go straight to the bedroom and start playing with it.
"Pushing jujube mills", pottery ringing balls, cloth tigers, slides and various toys make children happy.
conclusion
Ancient enlightenment books are an important educational resource for cultivating wisdom and morality. China has a history of civilization of thousands of years and has a very successful experience in Mongolian studies.
By passing on the wisdom of the ancients, it is possible to absorb the essence of ancient wisdom and apply it to modern society. At the same time, through innovative interpretation, ancient wisdom can be combined with modern needs, and people's comprehensive literacy and innovation ability can be cultivated.
Then, you should be good at thinking. Innovate in inheritance, inherit in innovation, and make full use of existing advantages to write contemporary classics.
