Ancient sages,
Write countless good articles with the pen and ink of wisdom,
Thousands of years later,
The ideas still shine brightly.
Taste the wisdom of the ancients,
It's like plucking a thousand-year-old guqin,
Melodious and tactful in people's hearts.
Five ancient texts that benefit people for a lifetime,
Those who read are blessed!
陋室铭
【Tang】Liu Yuxi
The mountain is not high, and there is a fairy name. The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. Si is a burrow, but Wu Dexin. The moss marks are green, and the grass is green. There is a lot of talk and laughter, and there is no white ding. You can tune the piano and read the Golden Sutra. There is no silk and bamboo, and there is no case. Nanyang Zhuge Lu, West Shuzi Cloud Pavilion. Confucius: What's ugly?
【Analysis】
"The Burrow" is the beginning of the landscape to rise, the mountain can not be high, the water can not be deep, as long as there is a fairy dragon can be famous, then although the residence is simple, but because of the owner's "virtue" and "Xin", that is to say, the Burrow because of the existence of people with high moral character can of course also be famous, famous, carved stone to remember.
The poet uses Zhuge Liang's grass house and Yangziyun's Xuanting as an analogy to show his honor and disgrace and unyielding integrity.
Mountains and rivers are priceless, no one has to give, the scenery of the four seasons, as long as you have a longing, you can enjoy it.
Walking the world with such a slow, elegant, and calm attitude has its own indifferent tranquility.

【Tang】Han Yu

If people are not born to know, how can they be free from confusion and not follow the teacher, and they will be confused and will not be able to solve it. Before I was born, he heard the Tao before me, and I learned from him, and after he was born with me, he heard the Tao before me, and I learned from him.

Persuasion (excerpt)
【Pre-Qin】Xunzi
The soil becomes a mountain, the wind and rain prosper, the water becomes an abyss, the dragon grows, the good becomes a virtue, the gods are complacent, and the sacred heart is prepared. Therefore, if you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles, and if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas. Qiji can not take ten steps in one leap, and ten horses are not relenting. Perseverance, rotten wood does not break; perseverance, gold and stone can be carved. The worm has no claws and teeth, the muscles and bones are strong, the upper food is the soil, the lower drink the yellow spring, and the heart is also the same. The crab is six kneeling and two claws, and there is no one who can be sustained in the cave of the non-snake eel, and he is also restless.
【Analysis】
As the opening work of Xunzi, "Persuasion" is an essay that discusses the importance of learning and persuades people to learn with the right purpose, attitude and method. The article is based on simple materialism as the theoretical basis, and it reflects some correct views of pre-Qin Confucianism in education, and also reflects the artistic style of Xunzi's essays as the culmination of the pre-Qin Zhuzi's thoughts.
"Learning is not a last resort", living to be old, learning to be old, afraid of what truth is endless, and there is an inch of joy in every inch!
Learning is not achieved overnight, it is a long-term thing, you read a little every day, learn a little, only then can you have the final results.
Born in sorrow, died in peace
【Pre-Qin】Mencius
Shun is in the acres, Fu Shuo is lifted between the plates, the rubber is lifted in the fish and salt, Guan Yiwu is raised in the Shi, Sun Shu Ao is raised in the sea, and Baili Xi is held in the city. Therefore, the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically.
People are permanent, and then they can change, they are trapped in their hearts, they are weighed in their worries, and then they are made, they are in the color, they are made in the sound, and then they are said. If you enter, you will not be able to go home, and if you go out, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will die. Then he was born in sorrow and died in peace.
【Analysis】
In this short chapter of less than 200 words, Mencius expounds the profound truth that "born in sorrow, died in peace" around the relationship between the objective environment and the fate of the individual and the country.
The article says that if a person wants to achieve great things, he must go through many hardships and hardships, and only by experiencing hardships and hardships, going through wind and rain, and seeing the world, can he exercise his will, increase his talents, and take on great responsibilities. Comfortable and enjoyable, growing up in a greenhouse, can not develop the ability to overcome difficulties, get rid of adversity, will be helpless in the face of difficulties, in the face of setbacks, adversity will be depressed and hopeless, often leading to extinction. So he concluded: "Born in sorrow and die in peace".
Chibi Fu (excerpt)
[Song] Su Shi
Su Zi said: "The guest also knows the water and the moon, the deceased is like this, but has not tasted the past; the surplus and the void are like him, and the death is not long." If we look at it from the one who has changed, then heaven and earth will not be able to see it for a moment, and if we look at it from the one who does not change, then things and I are endless, and how can we envy them! However, the breeze on the river, and the bright moon in the mountains, the ears can hear it, and the eyes meet it, and it is inexhaustible. It is the infinite hiding of the Creator, and the place where I and the Son are in harmony. ”
【Analysis】
The whole text, whether lyrical or discussive, is always inseparable from the scenery on the river and the story of Chibi, forming a fusion of emotion, scenery and reason. First of all, he writes about boating on a moonlit night, drinking and writing poems, so that people can immerse themselves in the beautiful scenery and forget the happiness of the world; then from the rise and fall of historical figures, he feels that life is short and changeable, so he falls into the depression of reality; and finally expounds the philosophy of change and immutability, affirming that human beings and all things are also permanent, showing a broad and optimistic attitude towards life.
In the world, most of them live in seclusion, and they are busy around mundane things. But please remember that between heaven and earth, there is also the comfort given to us by the breeze and the bright moon.
