Friends who have watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" must know that Liu Bei, the word Xuande. So what exactly does Xuande mean? In fact, the word Xuande comes from the "Lao Tzu" in "the animal that is born, born and has a Buddha, for the sake of Fu Gongye, long and Fu Zaiye, is called Xuande".
Liu Bei, the character Xuande, proposed that "only the virtuous and virtuous can obey people"
Many friends may find it strange, how does this sentence seem to be a little different from the "Tao Te Ching" in the bookstore? In fact, the Tao Te Ching was not originally called the Tao Te Ching, it was more appropriate to call it "Lao Tzu", or "De Dao Jing". Why? Because the book "Lao Tzu" has been passed down for more than two thousand years, many places have been changed, and even many places have distorted the original meaning of Lao Tzu, leading future generations to think that Lao Tzu is a passive person. In recent years, with the excavation of the "Lao Tzu" book of the Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha and the bamboo Jane of the "Lao Tzu" tomb of Jingmen Guodian Chu, the ancient copy of "Lao Tzu" has been able to reappear in the sky. And in these ancient texts, all of them are in front of the Scripture of Virtue and the Scripture of The Tao behind, so is it more appropriate to call it "The Sutra of Virtue"?
Lao Tzu's thought had a far-reaching influence and was a spokesman for morality
Back to the point, let's talk about what exactly is Xuande? According to Lao Tzu, Xuande is "Heaven and earth give birth to all things to nurture all things, to procreate all things but not to take all things for themselves, to help all things but not to demand returns, to grow all things but not to arbitrarily dominate the fate of all things." To put it bluntly, this is the most advanced wisdom of governance, and it is also the performance of "the journey of the road, the world is just".
It sounds like it is very advanced, in fact, it is very simple, it is like planting a tree, as long as you choose a suitable piece of soil, sow seeds, provide enough sunlight and water, the small sapling will naturally rely on itself to thrive, at most, it is to help when it is blown down by the wind, and the small sapling will grow into its own arrangement. If we forcibly intervene in its growth, it may also lead to the result of "seedling growth".
The original meaning of Xuande is like planting a tree
As the saying goes, "ten years of trees, a hundred years of tree people", our education is actually the same, to conform to the nature and talent of children, teach according to their talents, and cultivate their own independent and complete personality. The idea of teaching according to one's aptitude was first proposed by Confucius, and a story can be told here. Once, Confucius's students Zilu and Ran Qiu asked Confucius the same question, which was "When I hear that there is a good thing, do I want to do it immediately?" Confucius replied to Zilu, "You have to consult your experienced predecessors before you can do it." But to Ran, he said, "You should do it as soon as you hear it." At this time, Gong Xihua, a student standing next to Confucius, wondered why the same question was a different answer. Confucius explained: "Zilu is very brave, but it is easy to act rashly, so I asked him to think twice; Ran Qiu was more worried and not decisive enough, so I deliberately encouraged him to be brave." This is an example of Confucius's education according to the different personalities of students.
Confucius put forward the teaching concept of teaching according to aptitude
In contrast, our current education is a bit dull and mechanical. This is due to our national conditions, after the founding of New China, hundreds of industries to be revitalized, all walks of life are in urgent need of professional and technical personnel, so the state borrowed from the Soviet model, the use of test-oriented education, its essence is an industrial education, there is a set of standard syllabus, the purpose of teaching is to train students to be infinitely close to the syllabus, and then use a strict assessment system to identify teaching results, train students not to make mistakes in the mode of thinking.
Under this model, the state has cultivated generations of experts in the industrial age and made great contributions to the rapid development of national modernization. However, with the development of science and technology, industrialization gradually transforms to intelligence, more and more industries will use artificial intelligence equipment to replace workers, and the demand for industrial education will gradually decline. And with the improvement of people's quality of life, people's pursuit of the spiritual field will be more and more, more emphasis on human nature and dreams, more attention to the humanistic spirit, the reform of the education model is imperative.
In fact, industrialized education is also a product of the times and the inevitable result of modernization. So what is modernization? The essence of modernization is a laboratory philosophy that is the driving force behind the guidance of modern social development. The first to be proposed by Bacon was the man who said that "knowledge is power." Before Bacon, it was generally believed that knowledge was knowledge, just a way for us to understand nature and pursue the ultimate meaning of life. Bacon believed that learning knowledge was to transform nature and make all things in nature serve human beings, thus giving birth to experimental science, and human beings began a new journey to transform nature.
Bacon: Founder of experimental science
Experimental science was only applied in the natural sciences at first, and then slowly penetrated into the field of social sciences, and now our politics, economics, law, education, etc., are all in accordance with the way of similar laboratories, engaging in statistics, collecting data, doing quantitative analysis, formulating standards, and popularizing applications. Driven by this guiding ideology, society has slowly evolved into a field of experimentation, and the world has become more and more like, and human beings live in various rules and regulations.
Experimental science has discovered countless laws of nature, enabling humans to effectively conquer and control nature, but at the same time it has also led to the serious destruction of the natural world and the frequent occurrence of natural disasters. Experimental science requires objectivity and calmness, believing only in data and results, which also leads to a thinning of human relations and an increasing emptiness of the human soul.
Experimental science has promoted the development of society, but at the same time it has left many drawbacks
Experimental science requires strict standards, which can be effective in the natural sciences, but can be problematic if applied to the social sciences. Because the human heart is the most unpredictable, as long as the standard is set, it will inevitably produce all kinds of fraud and forgery. For example, the title selection system relies on papers as the selection criteria, and then various ghostwriting papers come into being, pseudo-professors and pseudo-senior engineers grab a big hand, but the really powerful honest people can only be obscure.
Society is developing, the times are progressing, and there will eventually be a more scientific system in the future, allowing us to slow down, re-embrace nature, make the relationship between people more intimate, and let human beings regain the meaning of being born as human beings.
