Professor Tsinghua pointed out that Chinese people are faced with collective disorientation in modern society.
Many people don't know how they can go from being a "half-human" to a "perfect".
The key to change lies in the practice of "etiquette and righteousness", and social development is, in the final analysis, the development of people themselves.
Who is this Tsinghua professor? What is "half-human" and "perfect"?
The content of this article has real sources of information, which are repeated at the end of the article
"No one is perfect"
The phrase "no one is perfect" here is not a common meaning, but refers to the fact that most people in this era are "half-human", and a Tsinghua professor even publicly stated in his speech that who still dares to say that he is a capital person.
Many people say that this is the best era, people have money in their hands, and there are all kinds of entertainment to enrich their spiritual world, but the professor still said that this is an era of "half-human" rampant.
The current era is too much to pursue the rapid development of the economy, and the cultivation of humanistic quality and humanistic spirit is limited to the school, but school education is to cultivate students' ability to take exams, and as soon as they enter the school, they will be educated according to the college entrance examination, so how can we talk about humanistic quality?
Looking at it this way, the current era is even in the process of going backwards.
Who is this professor? Have the confidence to say this kind of thing, and there is a more important point, that is, what is a "half-human" and what is the corresponding "perfect person"?
People are polite, and they are naturally different from animals
Professor Peng Lin is a big name in the Department of History of Tsinghua University, he is a doctoral supervisor, and he also won the title of "Senior Professor of Liberal Arts", the highest honor of Tsinghua Liberal Arts.
In Tsinghua University, Professor Peng taught two courses, "Cultural Excellence and Cultural China" and "Ancient Chinese Etiquette and Civilization", which were particularly popular among students and academics, and were also rated as "national excellent courses".
In November 2016, when the 90th anniversary of the Department of History of Tsinghua University was celebrated, Professor Peng also gave a speech at the "Humanities Tsinghua University" forum.
The theme of Professor Peng's speech was "What is a human being", and this "half-human" idea was not put forward by Professor Peng at the beginning, but in 1948, Mr. Liang Sicheng put forward the concept of "half-human" in the context of China's urgent need for economic development.
In China, there was an urgent need for industrial economic capacity, learning from the experience of the Soviet Union, and carrying out reforms, restructuring the country's university faculties, leaving resources for industrial and teacher talents, although this model met the urgent needs of the time, inevitably left some parts missing.
There is no separation between civil and military affairs, and resources are tilted towards professional talents, so it is inevitable that there is a lack of humanities education, that is, partial subjects, and this situation is like civil officials who do not understand the armed forces, and military attaches who do not know the style and style.
Mr. Liang Sicheng saw this problem early, and only then criticized that "this is an era of half a person", according to this statement, those who cannot have both literature and science can be said to be "half human".
When people do something hurtful, or do something that is scolded by others, they will be scolded for "birds and beasts are not as good", it is precisely because people know etiquette, and animals are different, the difference between people and animals is that people know etiquette.
The modern "half-human" mostly refers to those who are in high positions, but have no overall concept and only care about their own interests, they will use their position and height to influence the whole society.
Some people sit in high positions and use their positions and titles to influence the status quo in society, defend the interests of vested interest groups, and oppose measures that are truly in the interests of the people.
This kind of behavior can only be said to be annoying to see that it is in line with the interests of the elite group and even if it harms the interests of the people.
Modern "half-human"
When it comes to free medical care for all, in fact, deputies to the National People's Congress mention it every year, but after so many years, it is always rejected in the end. To put it bluntly, it is because this good thing has benefited the majority of people, and naturally a small number of people feel that their interests have been damaged.
If you really carry out free medical care for all, then most hospitals, especially those private hospitals, will have to cry dad and mother, you think about it, the hospital is not just as simple as seeing a doctor, canteens, drug supplies, medical equipment, behind a lot of companies and enterprises.
If the hospital wants to develop, it has to recruit new doctors and buy equipment, which is all money, if it is really free, the welfare of the hospital leaders will definitely be greatly reduced, and those related enterprises will also be affected, so ah, this thing is easier said than done.
And about electric vehicles, the number of domestic electric vehicles is increasing, there is no other, cheap and easy to use, and there are always people who propose to ban electric vehicles, and the people who make these proposals will not touch electric vehicles at all, how outrageous is this?
For electric vehicles, that is, to make way for their luxury cars, there is also a situation where electric vehicles are forcibly confiscated according to the regulations that do not meet the standards, and people have to buy new ones.
Mandatory helmet, on the one hand, is safety, on the other hand, everyone buys helmets, this is the new consumer demand, electric vehicles to driver's license, that is good for driving schools, the more people are fined, the happier they are.
Speaking of the nucleic acid fraud, I don't know if you remember how much money they were fined? It was 73,500 yuan! So how much money did they make? It must be a lot, but we don't know how much.
On the other hand, the little people, the farmer worked hard to sell some celery, and only earned 14 yuan, but he was fined.
summary
There are still many "half-people" in our society, and it is funny that most of them are in high positions, have resources, have great influence, and have the right to speak.
But this kind of power is used to safeguard their own interests, instead of worrying about the country and the people, this is a vicious circle, human nature is inevitable, and this is the importance of "half human" to "perfect", people know etiquette to benefit others.
The reality is that even if we have always regarded ourselves as a state of etiquette, we still have to stipulate the law, because morality has not formed a real binding force, and we still need the law to cover it.
Moral construction will still be the focus of social construction, and it will continue to be people-oriented, self-cultivation, and become a "perfect person".
