Sinology is the essence of China's traditional culture, which has great influence on China's politics, economy, military and other aspects, and plays an important role in inheriting civilization, enhancing national cohesion and reviving the Chinese nation.
"Long night attack, the wind is far away, strict and clean. You can see that it is Gui Jie's son. " Sinology is the essence of China's traditional culture, which has great influence on China's politics, economy, military and other aspects, and plays an important role in inheriting civilization, enhancing national cohesion and reviving the Chinese nation. China's thoughts on Chinese studies are the blood and soul of the Chinese nation and a bridge connecting the blood and soul of Chinese descendants.
Any nation in the world must have its own unique culture if it wants to stand on its own feet among the nations of the world, and China's Chinese studies have this unique characteristic. The classics of Chinese studies contain the essence of China's 5,000-year-old historical wisdom, which constitutes the objective environment of our spiritual life and maintains the root of China culture.
The word "sinology" originated from Mr. Zhang Taiyan's speeches such as "On the Balance of National Heritage" and "Introduction to Sinology". It is based on the pre-Qin classics and the theories of various schools of thought, and covers the Confucian classics in Han Dynasty, metaphysics in Wei and Jin Dynasties, Buddhism in Sui and Tang Dynasties, Neo-Confucianism in Song and Ming Dynasties, Han Fu, Parallel Prose in Six Dynasties, Tang Poetry, Song Ci, Yuan Qu, novels in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and historiography of past dynasties. And formed a revival.
The wisdom of Chinese studies covers the four books and five classics, Laozi, Zhuangzi, poetry, Zen, twenty-four histories, Tang poetry, Song ci and four classic works. It is a trillion-volume ancient document, which embodies China people's understanding of life and the world. With Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism as the core, the system of Chinese studies is divided into literature, art, drama, music, martial arts, dishes, folk customs and wedding and funeral etiquette, which provides a convenient channel for young people to learn knowledge and understand national traditional culture.
Sinology is the essence of China's traditional culture, which has a far-reaching influence on politics, economy and military affairs in China. It also plays an important role in inheriting Chinese civilization, enhancing national cohesion and realizing national rejuvenation. As a descendant of the Chinese people. Every teenager should understand and be familiar with Chinese studies, so that the thoughts and wisdom of the ancients will always fill their hearts. By studying Chinese studies, they can improve their understanding and form a positive world outlook.
Everyone in China should know and be familiar with Chinese studies. According to the spiritual guidance advocated by Chinese studies, being "upright", "self-cultivation" and "keeping the family in order" will become a person with noble quality and correct behavior, which will play a positive role in the country and society. The popularization of Chinese studies is related to the improvement of national quality and the healthy growth of Chinese teenagers. The essence of Chinese studies is "harmony between man and nature", which embodies the harmonious relationship between man and nature and between man and society, and is an indispensable part of building a harmonious society.
Read the classics of Chinese studies and feel the light of wisdom.
Chinese studies are extensive and profound, and I know little about them. I thought "Sinology" was just an article written by an old scholar in a pile of old papers. After studying for a period of time, I realize that Chinese studies are the cultural basis for China people to live and work in peace and contentment for thousands of years, and also the spiritual pillar of our China literati. The reason why China has become the only country in the world whose culture has lasted for 5,000 years without interruption is also because it has such a profound Chinese culture as its pillar. This kind of culture has been running through the historical development of China and the growth process of everyone in China. Through this online study, I have a further understanding of Chinese studies and feel the unspeakable classic theories in Chinese studies. After careful reflection, I feel that I have really benefited a lot.
First, learning Chinese studies can improve literacy.
Confucius said, "I save three times a day: is there any reason to be unfaithful to others?" Don't believe in making friends? Can't you learn? "Be careful what you say, always reflect on yourself, improve yourself and improve your virtue. In order to "cultivate one's morality, put one's family in order, govern the country and level the world." "In today's society, there are many temptations and confusions. How to curb greed depends on learning more and thinking more, taking history as a mirror and putting people first. Although it may not be possible to reach the highest level of "being poor means happiness, being rich means courtesy", it is certain to reach the level of "being poor means being immune, and being rich means helping the world". The book has its own golden house "is not a joke, but an important issue that we have long neglected." As China people, we are most fortunate to have the golden words left by our ancestors and sages. These life experiences, principles of dealing with people, methods of learning knowledge and even subtle feelings about life, which have been proved for thousands of years, were given to us by our ancestors long ago.
Second, learning Chinese studies must take its essence.
The most important thing for modern people to learn Chinese studies is to understand why they study. Some people learn Zhouyi to watch Feng Shui, while others learn Daoist Qigong. Since ancient times, China has been prosperous in art and lonely in road. In ancient times, the four books and five classics were used by emperors to rule their subjects, and many viewpoints did not meet the needs of modern society, or even were dross. Therefore, we should think more in the process of learning, take its essence from the perspective of social development and progress, and make the past serve the present. For example, Confucius said, "Governing the country by virtue, such as Beichen, lives in its place and is surrounded by stars." Rulers flaunt themselves as the embodiment of moral education and deify personal prestige, so as to fool the people and achieve the ruling effect of "the monarch teaches the minister to die, and the minister has to die." Although today's society should also "run the country by virtue", I think this "virtue" should be "good law", and "legal system" is the symbol of social progress, the real "Beichen" and the "popular will".
Third, learn Chinese studies and learn from Chinese and western cultures.
In the long history, sinology, as the main carrier of Chinese civilization, conveys the conceptual civilization of Chinese culture. It shows the spirit of the Chinese nation and makes it stand on its own feet among the nations of the world with its unique quality and style. Throughout the history of world civilization, we can also understand something. For example, thousands of years ago, ancient Greek civilization had integrated intellectual health and physical health, forming the eternal goal of mankind-"Olympia" spirit. 600-300 BC is the "axis era of human civilization", and China produced thinkers such as Laozi, Confucius and Mencius. When they were "ruling the country with Confucianism" and "ruling the country with politics", there was Sakyamuni in India, and the Buddhism founded has been passed down to this day. Great philosophers such as democritus, Socrates and Plato have emerged in the West.
Therefore, when we study Chinese studies, we should jump out of the relationship circle, cultivate the way of dealing with people with the essence of Chinese studies, establish our own life beliefs with a broad mind and a realistic attitude, let the light of wisdom in the "Chinese classics" enlighten ourselves and strive to realize the value of life.
If a nation or a country does not have its own spiritual pillar, it means that without a soul, it will lose its cohesion and vitality. The spirit of the Chinese nation is the spiritual pillar and motive force for the survival, development and prosperity of the Chinese nation, and it is the concentrated expression of the spiritual outlook of the people of China.
In the long history of 5,000 years, the Chinese nation has formed a great national spirit of unity, peace-loving, diligence, courage, self-improvement and morality. This national spirit is deeply rooted in the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation and absorbs the outstanding achievements of human civilization. The 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization has created a long and profound national culture, and there are many excellent ideological essences that are always worth promoting. The pioneering spirit of "self-improvement"; The broad mind of "carrying things with morality"; The integrity of "wealth can't be lewd, poverty can't be moved, and power can't be bent"; The patriotic spirit of "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world"; The selfless dedication spirit of "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the world later", the feelings of "worrying about the country and the people and listening to the rustling bamboo in the house" and so on. The thought that embodies the spirit of the Chinese nation has played an extremely important role in the formation and development of the Chinese nation.
The carrier of China's traditional culture is Sinology. Only by continuing Sinology can we inherit the cultural spirit of the Chinese nation. This is a great thing. To carry forward and cultivate the national spirit, we must start from being a man. Without the foundation of being a man, there will be neither national spirit nor revolutionary spirit. Where does life begin? Start with sweeping the court and deal with advance and retreat; Talking from the "Three Thousand" of the Enlightenment of Chinese Studies. This kind of learning is not only the learning of cultural literacy and moral knowledge, but more importantly, it is treated as a cultural inheritance.
The spirit and culture of Confucius are the main components of the spirit and culture of the Chinese nation, which we call "Chinese studies". Take Three Thousand Brothers as an example. The most important feature of Saint Amethyst is that it is clear-cut, enlightened, concise and incisive in imparting historical and cultural knowledge, ethical and moral knowledge, the importance of unity and friendship, and the necessity of studying hard. It is called "the mirror in the sleeve". And repeatedly encourage students to study hard, and urge parents and teachers to take the education of children and students seriously. Memorizing hundreds of surnames made me understand the origin of China's surname. Qian Wen Zi is the world's oldest and most widely circulated book on children's Chinese studies, which occupies a very important position in the history of China's education and culture, and is a small encyclopedia of China culture. Brothers-Zigui is an enlightening book about moral cultivation and behavior norms, which clearly describes the concepts of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith advocated by China culture with popular language and simple historical allusions. Therefore, to carry forward and cultivate the national spirit and revolutionary spirit, we must start with the enlightenment of Chinese studies. Tracing back to the source and inheriting the lifeline, "Chinese studies" is the source of national spirit.
China's culture is profound, and the classics of Chinese studies contain the wisdom essence of China's 5,000-year history. The classics of Chinese studies are not only the proof of China's long-standing traditional culture, but also the foundation for every China person to survive in the world, and they are also our indispensable spiritual strength. Traditional classic culture is an important carrier of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, with profound content and a huge number of classics.
Classic "is the crystallization of a nation's great wisdom and beautiful feelings, which is embodied in truth and permeated with the light of human nature, and its value lasts forever." Any cultural system has its eternal classics as its source. Roman? Roland once said: "the political life of a nation is only the surface of its life;" In order to explore its inner life-the source of its various actions-we must go deep into its soul through its literature, philosophy and art, because it reflects the thoughts, passions and ideals of its people. This summer vacation, I carefully read the classics of Chinese studies and felt the classical charm, which is quite profound.
When the word "classics of Chinese studies" is mentioned, everyone's first reaction must be the best, most essence and most valuable model works in China culture.
For more than two thousand years, China's cultural education has been based on the classics of sages. Even in the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, when foreigners entered the Central Plains, this kind of education has not changed. This kind of education based on Chinese studies has cultivated generations of cultural giants and politicians for China. Modern education only pays more attention to the development of people's intelligence and skills, but ignores people's moral education and dealing with people. In fact, no matter how talented a person is, if he has no virtue, he will hit a wall everywhere in society and will not be able to live a happy life.
I walk in the jungle of classic Chinese studies, and I can Ling Bo in the long river of classic Chinese studies; I can pick gorgeous words in the treasure house of Chinese classics and construct the most beautiful educational poems in my heart; You can paint a picture of mountains and rivers and laughter with the most beautiful brush in your heart; I can sing the most beautiful hymn of education in my heart with dignified affection-"Good governance gains people's wealth, good education wins people's hearts"!
The Chinese nation has a long cultural history of five thousand years. Classical literature has a long history and is profound. It is a cultural classic accumulated for thousands of years, the core part of China's splendid cultural classic, which has a great influence on China literature and is a bright pearl in the cultural history of China.
The splendid classical literature spanning 5,000 years has created a rich cultural history of the Chinese nation. Classical literature spans three categories: moral education, intellectual education and aesthetic education, flashing the unique spiritual genes of the Chinese nation. It has nurtured countless Chinese talents and romantic figures throughout the ages, made Chinese culture stand among the world's cultures, and has deeply influenced the moral sentiments of the Chinese nation and the personality wisdom of China people. Classical literature, the essence of China culture, can penetrate the profound historical time and space, meet our hearts, inspire and comfort each other, just like the kindling passed down from generation to generation, and light up the bright light of modern people's wisdom and emotion.
Opening classical literature is like entering a treasure house of knowledge, which will open your eyes, make you hungry and give you the key to wisdom. Emptiness, boredom, superficiality and arrogance will leave you and your spirit will be greatly sublimated. From Chinese studies, you can know how to motivate, strengthen, study, live, appreciate beauty, keep fit and treat health. Classical literature has not only played a huge role in history, but today we still benefit a lot from studying Chinese studies. Laozi's moral classics can edify our philosophical thoughts and enhance our cultivation. Confucius' Confucianism is an important part of China culture, guiding our study and life, and it is the moral standard of being a man. Sun Tzu's art of war is well-known and has won the favor of Chinese and foreign military, economic and historians. Sima Qian's Historical Records not only records the history of Chinese civilization, but also has high literary, artistic and ideological value.
I carefully watched the videos and readers of Chinese classics and education, among which Zigui, the elder brother of the book, taught me the most basic truth of being a man. To be patriotic, we must first honor our parents and repay their parents for their parenting. My parents were busy with this new life when we landed. No matter how hard my parents work, they all wash and cook for me and help me with my homework when they get home. Now that we are married and parents, I often educate my children to be caring, learn to be considerate of their parents and care for others, and share some housework for their parents to reduce their burden. When I grow up, I will be more filial to my parents and be a good boy who respects my parents. They should inherit the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation and pass them on from generation to generation.
People should live in harmony and care for each other. If others do something wrong, convince them by reasoning, try to be with people with high moral character, learn from their advantages and help them correct their bad habits. Study hard, as long as the time is up, you will naturally understand if you don't know the place. When you meet something you don't understand, you must ask clearly. These are the most basic things in life, and they also need the most efforts. As long as we understand this, our life will be more perfect.
Another example is that when I read The Analects, I have a better understanding of The Analects and its authors. In real life, we gradually know that many of our customs and polite expressions originally came from The Analects of Confucius, which still has such a profound influence after more than 2,500 years and is widely circulated in many parts of the world. The most impressive sentence in The Analects of Confucius is "Learning without thinking is useless, thinking without learning is dangerous." . Indeed, learning without thinking is useless and nothing is gained; If you only think and don't study, you will be confused and unsure. It teaches people to use their brains in learning, not to blindly engage in sea tactics, but to learn to think and summarize. Only on the basis of hard work, learn to think, and your academic performance can go up a storey still higher. If you just think and don't study, it's like planting crops for nothing. Take this sentence as the motto, always remind yourself to pay attention to methods in your work, and don't go all the way to the end, only to find that it is a dead end. You should always reflect on your work and improve yourself from reflection. And always remind yourself that only paying in person can pay off, and don't have the idea of waiting for the pie to fall from the sky. As long as you have a feasible idea, you must try it and put it into action. The Analects of Confucius not only taught me to work, but also taught me to be a man. Therefore, I firmly believe that as long as everyone can understand the true meaning of The Analects, you will not regret your life.
Through studying online videos and readers during this period, as well as dabbling in China's splendid ancient cultural classics, I feel that Chinese studies not only shine in temples, but also shine among the people. The reason why China has become the only country in the world whose culture has lasted for 5,000 years without interruption is also because China culture has been running through everyone's growth in China. Reading and studying the classics of Chinese studies are also imperceptibly shaping our thoughts and behaviors, so that the excellent classics of Chinese studies will always accompany us to grow up healthily, and let us inherit and carry forward the profound Chinese traditional culture with our own practical actions! This has benefited me a lot. I have learned a lot, and I have learned a lot about being a man. In the future teaching work, I will take its essence and blend it into it, so that students can feel the splendor of China ancient culture with heart.
The Modern Value of Confucian Culture
Confucius is a great thinker and educator in Chinese history. His Confucianism began to write her long history from the Spring and Autumn Period. It has a history of more than 2,500 years, from the pre-Qin primitive Confucianism represented by Confucius, Mencius and Xunzi, to Dong Zhongshu's establishment of orthodoxy in the early Han Dynasty, to Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty (Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi and Zhu) and Kang Youwei in the late Qing Dynasty. In this long time, with the historical evolution of social development, Confucianism has been enriched and developed from content to form, and its social function has also kept pace with the times, gradually forming its own unique cultural connotation. Facing the impact and integration of the global cultural wave, the discussion and thinking on the modern value of Confucian culture has become more intense and in-depth.
First, moral values
As the founder of Confucian culture, Confucius first put forward the idea of "benevolence" as the basic principle of governing the country and serving the people. As the basic principle of Confucian moral theory, "benevolence" is the basic starting point of various moral norms and requirements, and occupies a core position in the public moral system. Confucius said, "A benevolent man wants to be a man and succeed." He also said: "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you" (both from The Analects of Confucius), which shows that "benevolence" is not only a responsibility, but also an obligation, a fashion of altruism and a spirit of helping others, and requires people to achieve "mutual benefit". On the one hand, we should be brave and good at pursuing the legitimate interests of individuals, on the other hand, we should benefit others and benefit ourselves.
Zhu Dexiao comes first. Filial piety is one of the important contents and characteristics of China traditional culture, and it is also the basic code of conduct and an important moral category in Confucian ethics. In the Confucian moral system, filial piety is the beginning and foundation of benevolence, an important factor of family harmony and an important part of China traditional culture. Filial piety is the most basic ethical principle of individuals. What does a person who is not "filial" talk about being a man, being a man, and talking about morality? Therefore, the Confucian filial piety culture is the precious spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation, which should be handed down from generation to generation in today's society and carried forward.
Mencius' theory of good nature puts forward four kinds of hearts, namely, compassion, shame, resignation and right and wrong. As an important embodiment, "faithfulness" is another important value of Confucian culture. Mencius said: "life is what I want, and righteousness is what I want;" You can't have both, and those who give up their lives for righteousness are also "(from Mencius? Gao Zishang "). Life and morality exist reasonably here, but when they conflict, the pursuit of morality is higher than life. When morality can only be maintained at the cost of life, we should sacrifice our lives for righteousness. People who don't believe don't know what they can do. In today's materialistic society, "faith" and "righteousness" will play an irreplaceable role.
Second, the educational value.
Confucius is undoubtedly the greatest educator in China. He set up private schools to promote the development of civilian education. His thought of "teaching without class" can be said to be the earliest equal education proposition. The idea of "learning from time to time" and "knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing" has influenced countless participants in educational activities. Throughout his life, Confucius began to study at the age of 15, and reached the goal of "doing whatever he wants without overstepping the bounds" at the age of 70. The reason why he can do this is the result of "never getting tired of learning" all his life. Confucius opened up a brand-new road for the education of later generations through his experience and theory. Later, Zhu, a Neo-Confucianism scholar in the Song Dynasty, inherited and developed the educational thought of Confucian culture, which not only emphasized the importance and lifelong nature of learning, but also put forward the viewpoint of the integration of knowledge and practice, as he said: "How can you ask questions clearly?" "To live from the source", we should not only know, but also practice. This idea is of great significance to solve the contradiction between exam-oriented education and quality education, and the disconnection between school education and social needs.
Third, political value.
Confucianism is not only the philosophy of morality, education and life, but also the philosophy of politics. The important embodiment is the thought of "benevolent politics" and the people-oriented thought, which advocates "light punishment and thin tax", "listening to politics for the people" and "having fun with the people" As we all know, "harmony" is the essence of important Confucian ideology and culture, and "harmony" is not only a political means, but also a political purpose. The ideal society of Confucianism is at least a harmonious, United and peaceful society, which is very similar to the current construction of a harmonious society. For today's hegemonic era headed by the United States, the Confucian ideas of "great harmony" and "harmony" can be resisted, which is also an important factor for Confucian culture to go global.
Confucian political thought with "benevolence" as the core shines with the light of people-oriented and people's livelihood. It blended into the blood of the Chinese nation in the historical changes, and influenced the political activities of China in past dynasties. Despite its historical limitations, his thoughts of "ruling the country by virtue" and "ruling the country by courtesy" still have important reference significance for today's politics.
In the long years of human history, the Chinese nation has stood for thousands of years, many great powers such as the Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire have risen and fallen, and hundreds of empires have been born and died silently. There is no doubt that Confucianism has contributed to the endless development of Chinese civilization.
Confucian culture has been baptized by the long river of history, and it is not clear in a few words or paragraphs. Its profoundness is the precious heritage of the Chinese nation. We should critically inherit and absorb it, and combine it with social practice to carry forward and realize the modern value of Confucian culture.
As a national treasure, Chinese classics should be placed at the bedside of young friends. Reading those articles that have been passed down through the ages and reciting those excellent poems are just talking to the sages of past dynasties and touching the great soul of the Chinese nation.
Every teenager should know and be familiar with Chinese studies, and become a person with noble moral character and correct behavior according to the spirit advocated by Chinese studies, which will play a positive role in the country and society.
Just as celestial bodies maintain vitality through movement, a gentleman should constantly pursue self-improvement. Only by learning Chinese studies well can teenagers have a broad mind of "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the world later", a lofty ambition of "everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" and great wisdom of "doing something but not doing it".
Chinese studies provide a channel for young people to learn knowledge and understand national traditional culture. Why did Mencius' mother move three times? What are "heavenly stems" and "earthly branches"? What are "five grains" and "six animals"? What is the meaning of "gossip" in Chinese studies? How would you repay someone who gave you a cow? Who said "ruling a big country is like frying a small fish"? Huang Xiang, a native of the Eastern Han Dynasty, knew how to warm his father's bed when he was a few years old.
