Everyone says that Chinese culture is broad and profound, but in fact, the Chinese wisdom contained in culture is even more vast. China has different mainstream cultures in different periods, but once they leave a specific era background, these cultural philosophies become difficult to understand or there are always large and small deviations in understanding.
For example, when I mention "poor couples Pepsi Lament", my first reaction is: a very poor couple is together, and many problems encountered are difficult to solve, so they can only live a hard life.
I believe that there is definitely more than one person who has this idea, and there should be many netizens who are consistent in their ideas. But what does this sentence really mean? This sentence is from the Tang Dynasty poet Yuan Shu's "Sending Sorrows", if you want to understand the true meaning of this sentence, you must combine the context, and you must not take it out of context.
The original sentence is "Sincerely know that this hatred is shared by everyone, and the poor and lowly couples mourn", which translates to the meaning: I sincerely know that the hatred of death is shared by everyone in the world; but recalling that our husband and wife originally shared happiness and suffering in the days of poverty and lowliness, they felt even more sad.
After reading the explanation of the original text, I feel instantly enlightened, and the original intention is completely contrary to my own understanding. Thinking about it, this misunderstanding is really more.
Because many times we tend to remember the most impressive sentence, it will have the consequence of taking it out of context. Second, because of the different times in which we live, if our understanding is divorced from the background of the times and the author's life, it will become contrary to the same.
There are countless people who carry the black cauldron because of misunderstandings, which has to mention the big owners who carry the black cauldron: Kong Meng laozhuang, because their thoughts are extensive and profound and bitter, even if they have a rich practical significance, it is difficult to insist on reading it, let alone understand and understand.
Confucianism is particularly evident in Chinese, and hierarchy and kinship are deeply rooted in people's minds. As the saying goes: officials and universities crush people to death, elbows cannot be turned outward, and fat water does not flow to outsiders' fields, these sayings can show the importance of rank and blood.
Although for Chinese, the norms of behavior established by Confucianism have penetrated into everyone's heart like blood, there is no shortage of loud critics of Confucianism in this society, and the problem is not criticism, but criticism based on complete misunderstanding.
Chinese clothing, food, shelter, marriage, funeral, and marriage are all Confucian norms, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, and faith all come from Confucianism, and the heart of the origin of Chinese thinking about problems is Confucianism, and even Chinese whether they believe in Buddhism, Taoism, or Western religion, they cannot get rid of the shadow of Confucianism.
But contemporary Chinese misunderstanding and opposition to Confucianism to the point where even foreigners cannot tolerate it, which is the biggest cultural crisis.
Even the university scholars who specialize in Chinese philosophy rarely say confidently: I am proficient in Chinese philosophy, because philosophy is originally known for its breadth and generality, and so on, not to mention those of us ordinary people who are inferior to scholars in the academic field of thought.
Therefore, in the face of such an excellent Chinese philosophy, we can only look forward to sighing, love but not, unable to learn and deeply understand? In fact, the famous scholar Wang Meng's book "Chinese Wisdom for Young People" solves this problem very well.
On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, Wang Meng won the honorary title of "People's Artist", that is, at this time, Wang Meng published the book "Chinese Wisdom for Young People", which is enough to see Wang Meng's attention to traditional Chinese culture.
At the same time, he is also the most representative writer in China in the second half of the 20th century, such as his book "A Young Man from the Organization Department" has caused a huge response, and in high school class, the history teacher said that Wang Meng is his favorite writer, because reading Wang Meng's works can always feel the kind of control of words after being tempered by time.
Many netizens said: Wang Meng is a writer with a very strong personality. It looks like hahaha, but it feels like he has a big aura, strong ability, soft outside and strong inside. His wisdom is deep and unfathomable.
This wisdom was embodied in his life, when his first marriage came from love at first sight, and the two spent more than 55 years together. When the second love came, it was also love at first sight, and Wang Meng was already more than eighty years old. Many people are puzzled, and many people stand up and condemn this old man who enjoys life.
They reprimanded him for being unfaithful to love, his ex-wife accompanied Wang Meng for 55 years, and just a few years after his death, he empathized with him, and some people said that he was 80 years old and still thinking about the second spring. But none of this seems to have anything to do with him, he sticks to himself and follows his heart.
Later, he also expressed his ideas in the interview program, and was deeply attracted to the other party at the first minute of meeting, resulting in love at first sight. In the face of Dou Wentao's interview, Wang Meng said:
Mr. Wang Meng's two marriages both originated from love at first sight, shouting: Long live love. And the marriage is handled very well, Wang Meng did not forget his ex-wife, in his home, hung up two women's photos, one is a photo with his current wife Shan Sanya, and the other is a photo of his ex-wife Cui Ruifang.
He once said that he is the kind of person who decides big things very quickly, but will be indecisive in small things, Mr. Wang Meng still writes about love at an advanced age, and love is beautiful for him.
He uses his lifelong love and writing to show his optimistic and uplifting attitude, and I think this is his unique philosophy of life.
Based on his in-depth understanding of Chinese philosophy, Mr. Wang Meng transformed this boring and philosophical knowledge into an easy-to-understand vernacular. And on the basis of understanding, he combined his own life perception, this set of books includes "Jingjin: Minimalist Analects", "Principle: Minimalist Mencius", "Dedao: Minimalist Laozi", "Personality: Minimalist Zhuangzi" four volumes, condensing Wang Meng's decades of reading experience and life experience, directly to the essence of "Analects", "Mencius", "Laozi", "Zhuangzi" essence core.
This set of books has been unanimously praised by the majority of readers not long after its publication, many netizens said that the book instantly sobered themselves, and some netizens said that in this book, they can always let the confused self see the direction, upgrade the way of thinking of running life, learn to maintain personality and independence wisely, and cultivate the mind, improve the realm, and benefit people endlessly.
Many times we may encounter a variety of problems in life that make us wonder, after reading this book, it seems that everything has an answer, and there is a new understanding of life, the style of this book is concise and bright, the content is profound but close to life, so that readers can absorb the infinite wisdom of the classics in brisk reading, the content in the book is in-depth and simple, and different ages will have different perceptions. In the end, this is a book that is extremely worth reading repeatedly, and I hope that after reading it, you will no longer be troubled and suddenly enlightened.
