Book, homophonic for "lose"; Reading, homophonic for "gambling loss", shows that reading is a very unlucky thing, and smart people never do it.
From ancient times to the present, the nicknames of scholars are not very good, such as "Acid Ding", "Fine Acid", "Cuo Dao" and "pedant". , specifically refers to scholars. My hometown elders have always called scholars "nerds", which is still a polite statement. There is also a quip in my hometown: Confucius moved-lost (book); The scholar rebelled-not for ten years; Scholars hold brooms-Sven sweeps the floor; -The scholar's house is on fire-sour gas is foaming at the mouth; Begging with a book-poverty ... all for readers. Ominous words such as "poor", "down and out", "down and out" and "boring" always seem to be specially used to match "literati", such as "down and out literati" and "poor literati" ... they look and read naturally and harmoniously. How many times have you heard of "poor rich people" and "poor public servants"?
So few people pretend to be "scholars". When I was a child, at the end of the "Cultural Revolution", I remember people often patting their chests and shouting, "I am a lout!" That tone, that look, as proud as you are. Later, I learned that I hated scholars for a long time in the Great China Empire! As early as the pre-Qin period, a representative figure of Legalism pointed out: "Confucianism confuses law with writing." After Qin Shihuang unified China, fearing that the scholar would seize his own country, he decided to take the scholar as the starting point and creatively created the incident of "burning books and burying Confucianism". This great move effectively stopped scholars' delusion of "changing the weather". Unexpectedly, a few days after the death of Qin Shihuang, Comrade Chen Sheng, a farmer who never studied, rebelled, and soon two comrades who never studied (Liu Bang and Xiang Yu) rose up and destroyed the Qin Empire that the first emperor wanted to "pass on from generation to generation". To this end, a scholar wrote a poem with great grievances, sarcastically saying: "The ashes are not cold, Shandong is in chaos, and Liu Xiang does not study."
After Liu Bang became the emperor of the new country, there was a scholar named Lu Jia who didn't understand the current situation and advised Liu Bang to rule the world with poetry and books. Liu bang reprimanded him and said, "It is fair to win the world immediately and use poetry books!" Its founder Zhou Bo also looked down on scholars. "Every time you call a Confucian scholar, you should sit in the east and be responsible, and don't meet the host and guest." Calling a scholar to scold him, I think Duke Zhou must have felt very happy at that time! People who don't study in the world really deserve to touch this!
As a result, people with a little brains are reluctant to read. Fu Jiezi in the Han Dynasty was young and ignorant (fourteen years old). He used to be "studious" When he grew up, he discovered the harm of reading. "abandon the ladle and sigh:' when a gentleman makes meritorious deeds, why should he sit as a scholar!' ""So I joined the army and was blocked. With this example, Ban Chao also threw away the book and said, "My husband wants to serve Fu Jiezi and Zhang Qian and make meritorious service in a foreign country, so as to win the title of Hou, long-term security?" The benefits of not reading have been proved again in Ban Chao: people have been locked up for a long time as they wish. Later, many people expressed the same sigh. For example, Yu of the Sui Dynasty said, "Books are only enough to remember names. Can An Neng write for a long time and become a career of a pedant? " Ma Sui in the Tang Dynasty said, "When a husband makes contributions to the world, can he be a Confucian?" ..... Li Heyou, who died prematurely because of his unfortunate short life in writing poems, summed it up very well: "Please go to Lingyange temporarily, if you are a scholar Wan Huhou?" Although Li He is aware of the harm of reading, he is a dwarf in action, or he is addicted to reading and cannot extricate himself. As a result, he not only failed to pass the Jinshi exam, but also did not live long. He died of poverty and disease at the age of 27. This poor scholar!
Sooner or later, some scholars have realized the harm of reading and the pity of scholars. Yang Xiong, a writer in the Han Dynasty, once said that articles are small skills, and "it is not necessary to force a husband." This is very close to Futabatei Shimei's statement that "literature is not enough to be a person's lifelong career", which shows that the views of people with lofty ideals at home and abroad are consistent. This is the so-called "great minds think alike".
However, Song Taizong and Zhao Guangyi still lied: "Open books are beneficial." He also said: "The book has its own golden house", "The book has its own Yan Ruyu" and "The book has its own Man Cang Xiaomi". I wonder how many ignorant teenagers he has deceived with these lies! Perhaps it was only after the ignorant boy got old that he suddenly realized that there were only squid in the book. Many people are aware of this. For example, Yuan Haowen, a great poet, wrote bitterly: "What is worthless is the Confucian crown!" "Scholars are only poor at home!" Huang Jingren also has a famous saying: "Nine out of ten people are worthy of white eyes, and they are all scholars." Su Dongpo has the deepest understanding. He was imprisoned for Wutai Poetry Case, and after being demoted for three times in a row, he wrote these two sentences: "Life begins with literacy, and you can forget your name." He also wrote a poem for his son: "Everyone raises children and hopes to be smart. I have been delayed by cleverness all my life. I only hope that this child is honest and honest, and there is no disaster and no difficulty in reaching the public. "
It can be seen that the trouble of reading is not limited to poverty. Unprecedented period, the most unlucky is the scholar (then called "smelly Laojiu"). Great men have long swallowed mountains and rivers: "The more knowledge, the more reactionary!" By this time, scholars all over the world finally realized the harm of reading. This is not to mention the literary inquisition of Shi Jue Shu. It is said that Mr. Cang Xie wrote: "When it rains, millet will cry at night." I used to be very confused: Cang Jie made words, why do ghosts cry? Later, after reading Wu Meicun's explanation of A Qing dynasty, I understood a little: "Cang Xie cried well at night, and his suffering only began with reading."

Reading in the toilet is harmful.
The ancients once had the reputation of "reading on the pillow and going to the toilet immediately". In real life, many people have the habit of reading books and newspapers when they go to the toilet. Experts pointed out that the air in the toilet is dirty, and reading in the toilet for a long time is very harmful.
According to relevant data, some public toilets were tested by an environmental protection department, which not only contained high concentrations of harmful gases such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide, but also contained a large number of pathogenic bacteria. According to the doctor, when the content of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide in the air is too high, it will have a strong stimulating effect on respiratory mucosa and conjunctiva, and even symptoms such as mucosal congestion and edema will appear. Compared with public toilets, the sanitary conditions of family toilets are much better, but because of the narrow space and poor air circulation, staying in them for a long time is easy to cause dizziness and endanger health. Therefore, experts warn people: from the perspective of modern science, the habit of reading when the ancients went to the toilet can be praised and imitated.

"When the wicked study, they should help the wicked."
Original text: "Only with a pure heart can we study ancient times. Otherwise, seeing a good deed, stealing it for profit and smelling a kind word is another way to steal food while the soldiers are at it. "
When talking about Buddhist scriptures, Buddhist master Kong Jing said: "Think about the virtues of ancestors, think about parents' relatives, think about the grace of serving the country, think about the joy of starting a family, think about the urgency of helping others, and think about the evil of idleness." In other words, what we think, what we think, is a model of promoting virtue and cultivating goodness. Ancient education used to talk about the relationship between people and between people and everything in the world. It is to teach you how to always think about how "far" is filial to your ancestors and how "young" shows the virtues of your ancestors. People's morality, knowledge and career can be respected by the public, which is the glory of their ancestors. If we take the present as an example, what is the driving force of social efforts today? It's fame and fortune, it's money status, it's splendor, it's a luxury car BMW, and everyone is desperate to do it. For what? Money and wealth are used to encourage and promote. If you don't have money, then if you are willing to do it, then no one wants to do it. In the past, the ancients worked hard and diligently, and the motivation was filial piety. He thought of honoring his ancestors and parents and so on. I must work hard to cultivate good deeds, so that my parents have face and my ancestors have face. This motive is much nobler than fame and fortune. This is our cultural tradition in China for thousands of years. Buddhism is also based on filial piety, as well as offering sacrifices to ancestors and establishing ancestral temples, especially for people to do good deeds and accumulate virtue. Because the starting point at that time was completely different from the current social development, they all attached great importance to cultural traditions, which is the root of China culture. Judging from the ancient people's thoughts, people can be filial to their parents, can not forget their roots, and naturally can turn their backs and do no bad things. From the perspective of modern people's thinking, only with pure thoughts and correct minds can we learn from the past to serve the present, let ourselves have lofty ideals and ambitions, and let ourselves stand high and see far, instead of being blinded by temporary immediate interests. Only in this way can we wholeheartedly consider the society, serve the people and benefit the people. From the perspective of education, because today's society is in line with international standards, especially young people, their consciousness and will are weak and they are easily influenced by western culture. The most important thing is that they don't have too much ethics and legal education to carry forward. Perhaps this is a key issue.
"Think about the grace of serving the country, the happiness of getting married, the urgency of helping others, and the evil of being idle." How to serve the country and how to make the motherland stronger and more prosperous is a question that every citizen should think about and how to serve the country faithfully. Although it is impossible for everyone to be like Yue Fei, people should have such thoughts and morals. How to realize human happiness, such as Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Lu Xun and Ba Jin. Are examples of seeking happiness for mankind. Starting from the overall situation and considering the society, they can serve the society and the people wholeheartedly, and a person's psychological function is also very complicated. Therefore, people's minds should not be mixed with too many delusions, so they should know their responsibilities and be able to. Only in this way can society have a peaceful atmosphere and our society be peaceful.
The main idea of this paper is: a pure-hearted person, a person with lofty ideology and morality, can read sage books well, learn from the ancients, and cultivate one's morality. Otherwise, some people use it to satisfy their own desires when they see a good thing of the ancients, and use it to cover up their shortcomings when they hear a good thing of the ancients. This kind of person studies ancient times, which is equivalent to providing weapons to thieves and food to robbers. Only those who are pure in heart and noble in thought and morality can make clear the purpose of reading. Studying and studying the past is not only to improve one's self-cultivation, but more importantly, to be able to rule the country and make contributions to society and the country. This is the character that a real gentleman should have. If some people have ulterior motives, the purpose of studying ancient books is to satisfy their own selfishness and desires, to be an official and make a fortune, to pursue fame and fortune, to enrich themselves at the expense of the public and even to the abyss of depravity. Such people will inevitably harm the interests of the country and the people, which is equivalent to "the wicked study and help others to abuse." Therefore, it is very necessary for a person to cultivate one's self-cultivation, improve his political and ideological consciousness and improve his cultural quality. It's the only way. This view of right and wrong is not only beneficial to oneself, but also makes them more beneficial to society and people. This is a truly thoughtful person who pursues truth, goodness and beauty.

Pulling out seedlings encourages misunderstanding, and early education "sneaked away" buried hidden concerns.
Preschool education experts point out that parents are keen on all kinds of "super-long classes" and "interest classes" mainly because they have a wrong understanding of early science education. One is to equate early education with intellectual development, thus ignoring the education of children's all-round quality. The significance of early education includes the training of perception, action, language and cognition, as well as the cultivation of living habits, self-care ability, character and moral character. We can't neglect one thing and lose another, and the cultivation of non-intellectual factors is equally important. Second, blindly believe in "gifted" education. According to the survey, only 30% parents want their children to develop normally, and most parents want their children to be "extraordinary", preferably child prodigies. In fact, the proportion of children with extraordinary intelligence and mental retardation is very small, and more than 90% of children are "normal" children.
Preschool children can know thousands of words, but after all, only a few can read Water Margin and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Even so, when reading, these "high flyers" didn't understand the contents of the book or the meaning of every word, so they were forced to learn by rote most of the time and became mechanical reading tools.
The more serious harm is that these children may appear extraordinary in a short time after entering school, but they have no interest in learning and lack the desire to make further efforts. Preschool education experts believe that the task of the first and second grades of primary school is not to learn much knowledge, but to cultivate children's good study habits. Children who have received early education in "primary school" can cope with learning while playing or even not learning because of their "foundation". The consequences of this bad study habit will appear in the third and fourth grades. At this time, they have lost the comparative advantage of "primitive accumulation" and gradually lagged behind their peers. This strong contrast makes them have psychological barriers, leading to mediocrity and inaction.
Nowadays, for some primary school teachers, the most troublesome thing is these half-baked "high flyers" who were "sneaked away" by early education. They are tired of studying in class and have difficulty in concentrating. In the face of criticism, they will proudly say "I know all this", which makes people laugh and cry. What's more, not only do you not listen carefully, but it will also affect others and the normal learning atmosphere.

Reading has nothing to do with diplomas.
Yang 2006-0 1-22
In my opinion, real scholars have little to do with the level of academic qualifications, especially in the era when more and more people are holding highly educated certificates, but fewer and fewer people are holding them.
Today, although no one has publicly shouted "reading is useless", it is a historical progress and a nation's luck. But if you are not careful, you may fall into the new quagmire of "reading practicality theory" and "reading crash theory" and cannot extricate yourself.
"Education should be revolutionized and the length of schooling should be shortened", resulting in a generation with low academic qualifications and low quality, which is not only harmful to the generation with high illiteracy rate. After entering the new century, whether public or private, there are more and more schools that can issue higher education certificates, and it is likely that everyone will have the opportunity to receive higher education. Although the academic system of full-time, correspondence and night university has not been significantly shortened, the number of teaching materials has gradually decreased, the counseling materials around the exam have become thinner and thinner, and the learning content has become shallower and shallower. Is this a replica of the "shortened academic system" and the "educational revolution" coming back again?
One day, you suddenly find that all the new and old colleagues who have never seen a book in their hands calmly fill in "undergraduate" or "graduate" in their "education" column, and you realize that you are actually behind the times. Only by communicating with them, or continuing to work with them, can you gradually regain your self-confidence and then sigh: "undergraduate" and "graduate" are at this level!
Now there are many people with liberal arts degrees who haven't even read a page of China's four classic works. At this point, you sometimes have to think that the difference between "reading practicality" and "reading uselessness" is that they are two sides of the same copper coin.
I have worked in several cultural units, and found that those who can always get higher and higher academic qualifications never enter bookstores, and it is even more difficult to capture the moving scenes of their heartfelt reading. "Cultural units lack literate people", a colleague of mine who loves reading expressed such heartfelt sigh. And he, like me, kept reading and writing for the remaining ten years. After reading many books and publishing many articles, I suddenly found myself different and even behind the times. So I smiled and made such a self-mockery: nothing is a scholar, nothing is a bookworm.
Scholars or nerds, as long as reading has nothing to do with diplomas and politics, it is possible to maintain physical and mental harmony and internal and external balance. Being honest and conscientious, reading free books and living a small life are naturally a new world and a new realm. "Good reading, Dont Ask For Help solution; Every time I know something, I am so happy that I forget to eat. " Tao Yuanming, an idyllic poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, has always fascinated me. On the surface, this reading style is somewhat negative, but it is precisely this reading mentality that is a healthy reading mentality, so as to fully enjoy the fun and fun of reading.
I just want to be a real scholar in my life, or a real nerd or scholar. What's the harm in losing a diploma? !
