The basic carrier of Chinese culture is the classics, and the excellent traditional Chinese culture has a long history, broad and profound, and the Chinese classics are as vast as a sea of smoke. Chinese classics carry the cultural ideals, ideological concepts and value pursuit of the Chinese nation, and we must sort out and magnify the ideological essence of the Chinese classics, absorb strength and wisdom from them, and play a role in the construction of the modern civilization of the Chinese nation.
To understand the value of Chinese culture, we must understand the formation process and characteristics of the classics. Taking the Confucian classics as an example, just as Confucius Thought has the historical status of connecting the past and the future, the Confucian classics are also the condensation of Chinese wisdom thousands of years before Confucius and Mencius, the choice and inheritance of ancient wisdom by Confucius and Mencius and other sages, and the reconstruction and creation of their "narrative as work". After its formation, it has been tested by thousands of years of history, and can give useful enlightenment to today's people.
The Chinese nation is the only nation in the world with a continuous history of civilization, "Four Books and Five Classics", "Laozi", "Zhuangzi" and "Xunzi...... There are countless classics. Reading these Chinese classics, I also understand Chinese wisdom. There are morals and values in these classics, and there are ways for everyone to take a wider and wider path. In the political chapter of the Analects, Zizhang asked Confucius if he could know the rules for people to get along with each other after the tenth generation, and Confucius thought that "although a hundred generations can be known". Confucius replied this way because he saw the Zhou Dynasty's gains and losses in the history and culture before the Xia and Shang dynasties, and saw the cultural construction of "depressed and literary" after the "second generation of the Zhou Dynasty". In Confucius's view, the form of etiquette can change and develop with time, but the deep law of getting along with people is the "most virtuous way" of love and respect between people, which has a profound Chinese philosophical heritage. Reading accompanies people to grow up and increase their knowledge, so that they can understand life and self, China and the world. In the face of great changes in the world unseen in a century, we have seen more and more clearly that Chinese classics precipitate the spiritual genes of the Chinese nation, and the excellent traditional Chinese culture is the outstanding advantage of the Chinese nation and our deepest cultural soft power.
Chinese classics have shaped the cultural ideals of the Chinese nation. Confucius pursued the great harmony of the world, "the road is the road, the world is for the public", and hoped that "the old man will be safe, his friends will believe in him, and the young will cherish him". Public and private are opposite, "back to private for the public", public is public consciousness, public morality and social consciousness, everyone self-denial and self-cultivation as a gentleman, in order to "return the world to benevolence". China has always pursued harmony and harmony, cultivated harmony and peace, formed a strong sense of national identity and pride, and strengthened the cohesion of the Chinese nation.
Classical culture has shaped the Chinese nation's outlook on life, worldview, and values. Confucianism studies human beings themselves, human nature and human values. People are between heaven and earth, they must follow the way of heaven, imitate the earth, cultivate righteousness, and become a person with a capital letter. Confucius said: "A gentleman has three fears: fear of the mandate of heaven, fear of adults, and fear of the words of sages." "Self-cultivation is in awe of the world, seeing the wise and thinking together, and learning from all excellent people. Confucianism believes in the goodness of human nature and believes that good conscience is a great power. If a person wants to achieve his ideal personality, he should not only be a natural person, but also a social person, and he should think about "the reason why people are human" and show the brilliance of human nature. It is precisely from this that China's history has produced many talents.
The scriptures indicate the method of self-cultivation. The implementation of the rules is inseparable from moral cultivation, Confucius said: "People are not benevolent, such as courtesy, what is the courtesy, people are not benevolent, such as happiness?" The idea of benevolence is based on filial piety, and only by "kissing" can people "not kiss their relatives alone", "the old and the old", and can they "love the people". Confucius said, "My way is consistent", this is the way of loyalty and forgiveness, is a method of self-cultivation, "do not do to others what you do not want to do to yourself", treat others with benevolence, follow social norms and moral principles, such as righteousness and courage, help the needy, etc. The Chinese nation attaches great importance to human ethics and morality, and stresses benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness, thus maintaining social order and promoting social harmony.
The classics emphasize the subjective initiative of people. People have great potential, developed through learning and practice, consciously understanding their virtues, awakening goodness, being spontaneous, abiding by family virtues, professional ethics, and social morality, worthy of the value and meaning of life, and constantly innovating and developing on the basis of integrity. Confucius himself "has five out of ten and is determined to learn", and he advocated "aspiring to the Tao, according to virtue, relying on benevolence, and playing in art". People must have the pursuit of "Taoism", a gentleman seeks himself, learns self-denial and self-examination, cultivates a lofty and determined pursuit of life, the mission of an adult and a gentleman, and a broad mind of openness and benevolence, so as to be sincere and unrelenting, and constantly obtain strong spiritual strength. People have the nature of being kind and upward, and through education and training, they can become useful talents for the country and society.
Approaching the classics and learning the broad and profound Chinese wisdom, you will find that they contain a wealth of ways to govern and govern the country, as well as the feelings of the family and the country that are responsible for the prosperity and death of the country. The Chinese classics are like an endless tree of life, and its roots are deep and firm. We should understand the characteristics of the Chinese classics and the height and depth of their thinking, grasp the spiritual essence of the classics, and strengthen cultural self-confidence. The tree of Chinese civilization is evergreen, and we need to continue to bake on the root and consolidate the essence, and continue to absorb spiritual nourishment.
