Early Education and Review of Chinese Studies
Ancient scholars made up for their own shortcomings by themselves; Scholars nowadays are human beings, but they can speak out. Ancient scholars were human beings, and what they did was to benefit the world. Nowadays, scholars are all for themselves, and self-cultivation can make progress. Scholars still plant trees, play with their flowers in spring and climb in autumn; Talking about articles is also good for spring, and self-cultivation is also good for autumn. Life is young and the spirit is patented. When you grow up, you should think about it and relax. Be sure to teach early and don't miss the opportunity. When I was seven years old, I recited "Lingguang Dian Fu". As for today, ten years have passed and I have never forgotten it. Twenty years later, the books I memorized were abandoned and abandoned in January. However, people have a hurdle? ? If you lose your prime, you still have to study that night. Confucius said, "If you are eager to learn at fifty, you will not make a big mistake." Loyal old Wei Wu and Yuan Yi learned little and never got tired of getting old. Ceng Zi is a scholar at the age of 70 and is famous all over the world. Xun Qing began to study abroad at the age of fifty, and he was still a Confucian scholar. Gong Sunhong was in his forties before he read the Spring and Autumn Period, thus becoming a prime minister. Zhu Yun is also forty years old, and he began to study the Book of Changes and The Analects of Confucius. Huangfu Mi, at the age of 20, began to accept the Book of Filial Piety and The Analects of Confucius: they all became great scholars in the end, and this is not a question of early infatuation and late indulgence. The marriage crown in the world has not been learned, so it is too late, and it is also a fool's ear following the wall. Young scholars, such as the light of sunrise, old scholars, such as the night walk by candlelight, are still virtuous. Nobody saw it. The rise and fall of learning is closely related to the world. The virtue and handsomeness of Han Dynasty are based on the way of sage. When I was there the next day, I was assigned to the personnel, and many people used this to show their respect for each other. In the end, the custom has come to an end, leaving chapters and sentences empty, but it is almost impossible to perform world events by following the teacher's words. Therefore, the children of scholar-officials are all interested in erudition and refuse to specialize in Confucianism. Under the grandson of Emperor Liang Chao, when he was in his thirties, he must first enter school and observe his ambition. After he was born, he began to study literature and history and did not graduate. He Yin, Liu Gui, Ming Shanbin, Yi Zhu, Zhou, He Ge, Xiao Zizheng and Liu Taize. , both literature and history knowledge, and not just talk about it. Luo Yang heard about Zhang Qian and Liu Fang, and saw Xing Zicai in the summer night: Although these four Confucian scholars are good at Confucian classics, they are also called. Therefore, sages are the top grade, leading idle people to Tadano. Its language is vulgar, its style is clumsy, and its reality is omnipotent. It's strange to ask a few hundred words, otherwise there will be no meeting. There is a saying on a summer night: "A doctor bought a donkey with three books and vouchers, but there was no donkey word." It's annoying for you to use this as a teacher. Confucius said: learning is also rewarding. "This hard-working useless thing in the world, fear of non-industry. The book of sages, therefore, teaches, but studies the scriptures, understands the meaning, and often teaches by example; Why does Zhongniju need two pieces of paper to see the righteousness? What's the point of sleeping in the lecture hall? Is it better to win by this? Time is a pity, just like all lost water. When the Expo is confidential, it is beneficial to the cause; I can be beautiful at the same time, it doesn't matter. In ancient times, people who read books were to enrich themselves and make up for their shortcomings. Nowadays, people who study are trying to please and show off to others. In ancient times, people who read books were all for others, promoting their own ideas and benefiting society. Nowadays, people who study are all practicing for their own needs and for being an official. People who study are like planting fruit trees. They can enjoy flowers in spring and pick fruits in autumn. Explaining and commenting on articles is like enjoying spring flowers; Self-cultivation is conducive to carrying out your own ideas, just like picking autumn fruits. When people are young, their spirits are sharp, and when they grow up, their thoughts are easy to be scattered. Therefore, we must educate our children as soon as possible and don't miss the opportunity. When I was seven years old, I recited "Lingguang Dian Fu". To this day, I look back every ten years and still have not forgotten it. After the age of 20, the back sutra was left there for a month, and it was abolished. However, people are always in trouble and lose the opportunity to study in their prime. In their later years, they should seize the time to study and not give up on themselves. Confucius said, "At the age of fifty, you can learn the Book of Changes without making a big mistake. "Wei Wudi and Yuan Yi, who studied harder when they were old, are examples of diligent study since childhood. Ceng Zi began to study at the age of seventeen and finally became famous in the world. Xunzi began to study in Qi at the age of fifty, and still became a great scholar. Gong began to read Spring and Autumn Annals in his forties and finally became prime minister. Zhu Jun didn't learn the Book of Changes and The Analects until he was forty, and Huangfu Mi didn't learn the Book of Filial Piety and The Analects until he was twenty. They all became great scholars in the end. These are all examples of early addiction and late awakening. It is too late for most people to start learning when they are adults. Getting along with each other day after day is like standing on the wall and seeing nothing, which is stupid enough. People who learn from childhood are like the light of sunrise; People who start learning when they are old are like walking at night with torches, but they are still smarter than those who don't look at anything with their eyes closed. Whether the learning atmosphere is strong or not depends on whether the society attaches importance to the practicality of knowledge. Scholars in the Han Dynasty can use a Confucian classic to promote the way of being a saint. Many people obtained Qing Xiang's official position by studying astronomy and knowing people. Since the end of the world, the wind of talking clearly has prevailed. Scholars stick to chapters and sentences and only recite teachers' remarks for current affairs, and almost none of them are useful. Therefore, the children of scholar-officials pay attention to reading more books and refuse to stick to chapters and sentences. In childhood, the aristocratic children of the Liang Dynasty must be admitted to Chinese studies first, and their aspirations and admiration must be observed. After they entered the official career, they did all the things of literati, and few of them finished their studies. Generations of officials engaged in Confucian classics, such as He Yin, Ming Shanbin, Zhu Yi, Zhou, He Ge, Xiao Zizheng, Liu Ying, etc., are all proficient in literature and history, not just explaining Confucian classics. I also heard that there are Saihao, Zhang Wei and Liu Fang in Luoyang. I saw Xing Zicai on a summer night. These four Confucians not only like Confucian classics, but also are famous for their erudition. A wise man like this can naturally be the top grade. In addition, most of them are people from other places, with vulgar words and rude manners. They are all arbitrary, conservative and incompetent. Asking a question requires answering hundreds of sentences, all of which are irrelevant. There is a saying that "the doctor bought a donkey and wrote three contracts, but there was no word' donkey'". You will be angry with him if you make him worship you as a teacher. Confucius said, "study hard, and your salary is in it." Now some people only try their best at useless things, I'm afraid it's nothing serious! The book of saints is used to educate people. As long as you can read the scriptures and roughly clarify the literal meaning of the annotated scriptures, it is enough to be a human being. Why do you have to write two pages to explain the word "Zhongniju"? When you say "residence", you mean the place where you live, and he says "residence" means the place where you study. Who can tell now? On this issue, will winning or losing be of any benefit? Time is worth cherishing, just like running water, which is gone forever. For the sake of fame and fortune, we should read the main points in the book extensively. If you can combine elaboration with specialization, then I won't criticize.
