1 has a long history. The people of China have a continuous history of civilization. Since the Neolithic Age, China people's independent and complete civilization system has been passed down from generation to generation. Although it has experienced disasters, it has not been cut off, showing tenacious vitality.
2. Civilization and progress. China people, as a whole, have been at the leading level of human civilization for most of the 5,000-year history.
3. Vast territory and rich resources. Throughout history, China people have a vast area (the great rivers and mountains of Kyushu, China) that is most suitable for human survival in Asia. The so-called "country of mountains and rivers" is impregnable, even if it fails for a while, it will eventually recover.
4. A large population. Throughout history, despite natural disasters, war trials and foreign invasion, it has always maintained a prosperous population and the survival foundation of the nation has not wavered.
5. Language and writing. Throughout history, after natural disasters, war tests and foreign invasions, the language, writing, thoughts and beliefs have not been destroyed, and the national cultural traditions have been preserved.
6. Invention and creation. From the story of "Sui" striking a light, we can know that China people have the genius and wisdom of invention, which is very different from Prometheus' theft. Comparing the two, we can find different moods and attitudes, which support or cover up some historical mystery? China people know very well that there is no need to exaggerate hard work and wisdom, let alone make a fuss. As for Fuxi's painting gossip, Nu Wa's pottery making, Shennong founded agriculture and invented medicine, Xuanyuan founded industry and invented boats and cars, all of which were the results of hard work and struggle. The so-called "Four Great Inventions" in this world are only a few later works in the history of China's inventions, and the rest are countless major inventions unknown to westerners.
7. standard of living. Throughout history, the overall living standard of the people of China in most historical periods was leading and high in the world. Just look at the painted pottery (Yangshao culture) four or five thousand years ago and you will know the living standard at that time!
8. Survivability. China people's survival ability and adaptability are extremely strong, which is proved by this period of history, and there is no doubt about it.
9. Economic development. It has nurtured the largest population, maintained the longest history and ensured the continuous progress of culture and art.
10, great man. China's inherent knowledge mainly lies in Confucianism and Taoism. Confucian sage is Confucius, Taoist sage is Laozi, and the rest are not comparable, which has been the case since ancient times. After Confucius and Laozi, various kinds of knowledge and relatively professional "saints" appeared: for example, doctor Zhang Zhongjing, calligrapher Wang Xizhi, soldier's grandson, poet Du Fu ... The evaluation criteria of "saints" revealed a kind of extreme character. A hundred schools of thought contend, China, with a large population, is hard to compare with foreigners. In the modern society where martial arts strive for hegemony, only one "grandson" is enough to stand out from the crowd, and his military thoughts, strategies and tactics have reached an infinite realm.
1 1, think rationally. There is no real religious bondage and ideological imprisonment, preaching and teaching to solve doubts, and being good at thinking. What China people admire most (the truth of words and the truth of mind) is not an illusory and arbitrary "god", but a true and kind "saint". What China people value most is not power and wealth, but morality and learning. China people worship Confucius and Laozi most, not three emperors and five emperors, nor heroes. They do not seek supernatural existence, but only value thought and wisdom.
12, spiritual realm. Academic research on independent thinking and spiritual freedom has never died out.
13, one in the world. There is a word "Xia Tian" in Chinese, and its vision, mind and measurement are enough to prove its greatness.
14, focusing on morality. Respect virtue and benevolence, value virtue over profit, be indifferent to fame and fortune, and pay attention to moral cultivation.
15, the golden mean. Neither humble nor supercilious, both dynamic and static are suitable; Not arrogant and impetuous, combining rigidity with softness; Be impartial and never give up. Only such a great virtue, regardless of the success or failure of the moment, does not pester the honor or disgrace of the moment, has no burden of suffering, is free from the shackles of winning or losing, is detached from itself, is not trapped by foreign objects, is not moved by utilitarianism, and is always in an invincible position and is not influenced by others. Only in this way can the people of China always remain calm and complacent, get rid of extreme and blind mistakes, and be eager to give up the basics, be free and easy, and be indomitable.
16, Yin and Yang. Yin and yang complement each other, meet together, and correspond to reality. On the contrary, the two complement each other, pay equal attention to kindness and prestige, and advance and retreat freely. Only in this way can China people have the extraordinary wisdom of "rolling with the punches" and the ability of "bearing the burden of humiliation". "If you are poor, you will be immune to it, and if you are up to it, you will help the world." You are known as an understanding person. People who do such things are unbearable, indifferent, secular and worried. On the other hand, in contrast, how can a person who "knows how to advance and retreat, knows how to be firm, and doesn't know how to be soft" last long?
17, Taoism is natural. Tao is the magic weapon and spiritual pillar of China people. The so-called "people with a way" and "people with a way" are the ultimate in being a man. Besides, they are full of praise.
18, people with lofty ideals. Confucius said, "The benevolent loves others" (The Analects of Confucius). The so-called "the benevolent is invincible" covers this point! Confucius said: "There is a way in the world, and hills are not easy to change", and he also said that "the three armed forces can win the handsome, but ordinary people can't win the ambition". This belief in life endows China people with indelible great character!
19, the land of etiquette. China people are not afraid of failure, loss, injustice, but "rudeness". In a country that pays attention to etiquette, people are not afraid of life and death, but only etiquette. As the saying goes, "small things happen in death, and big things happen in dishonor." How heroic and generous this is.
20. The country of gentlemen. China people have been civilized for a long time. They don't want animals, they don't fear the power of tigers and wolves, they show their heroic abilities, encourage the strong, bully the weak and discourage unjust teachers. The so-called "gentleman" is the character and personality that China people admire. The Book of Changes and The Analects of Confucius set the standards and norms that a gentleman should have. He is a villain. Such as: "a gentleman means justice, a villain means benefit", "the beauty of a gentleman as an adult is the opposite of a villain", "a gentleman is harmonious but different, and a villain is the same but not harmonious", and so on.
2 1, noble spirit. Mencius said, "The power is unyielding, the poverty is immobile, and the wealth is immodest." This kind of masculinity is the invincible "noble spirit" in the world. Isn't it great that China people have such a gentleman's character?
22. Harmony is the most important thing. "Courtesy in return, harmony is precious" is the life creed of China people. The "ceremony" in the state of etiquette is a principle, and the "purpose" that values harmony is a kind of flexibility. What a clever man he is, he can not only adhere to the principle, but also use it flexibly, without changing his mind, and it is difficult to be frugal and flexible. In the final analysis, "courtesy" is an expedient measure, and "harmony" is a long-term solution.
23. Be modest and eager to learn. Modest gentleman, open-minded, happy when you smell it, and changeable when you get it. This is not terrible.
24. Wu Wen rejuvenating the country. Both civil and military skills can make the country prosperous and the people safe, and the literature does not waste military equipment, and the military equipment does not forget culture. It is the original meaning of military preparation to stop fighting for the army. Defeating the enemy without fighting is the best policy of a strategist, and those who know the soldiers in ancient and modern times must not be ignored.
25. Loyalty and filial piety govern the country. Filial piety, loyalty to the motherland, the so-called responsibility of "loving the family and protecting the country" and the obligation of "protecting the family and defending the country" are the natural laws and the magic weapon for long-term stability.
26. Moral safety. People in China pay attention to "family" and "human feelings". Because the principle of "harmony between man and nature" is the basic principle, "family relationship" has become the "principle" of "human relations" Therefore, China people's ethics is a natural law, a conscious wisdom of life, rather than an additional "rules of the game". Feel at ease and be completely convinced. You don't need to oppress others by force. You can only convince people by reasoning. People have their own judgments and don't need to impose them on others. "Tian Xingjian", so: "A gentleman strives for self-improvement"; "The terrain is vast", so it is said that "a gentleman carries things with morality". Isn't it natural that the law is like heaven? Who can deny this "justice"!
27. Respect teachers and pay attention to education. China has always been a country that respects teachers and values education. Only in this way can it open up wisdom, adhere to the truth, distinguish good from evil and judge right from wrong. There are "Confucius sages", one person keeps them, and there are all kinds of crooked ways. "Ten thousand people can't force them." China people will not be misled or confused by others. All kinds of "religious genies" outside China can't be wrong with China or our people. The so-called "China has no religion" is sincere! In the so-called "harmony between man and nature" belief, there is no difference between man and nature, and there is no difference between God and man. Even if the emperor is like "Heaven Emperor", he can't be weird to people. Moral belief comes from the heart. Why should I be bound by heresy? Aren't you sad?
28. Respect women. From "Goddess of Mending Heaven" to "Guanyin Saving the World", from the Queen Mother in the sky to the heroine on earth, there are countless people who don't want men's eyebrows. Those indomitable "female husbands" are never worse than men.
29. The extraordinary work of the world. Who can match the feat of "goddess mending the sky", the courage of "praising father in the sun", the fighting spirit of "reclaiming the sea by jingwei", the spirit of "fools moving mountains" and the fierce battle of "developing fields"?
30. Descendants of dragons. Ancient human civilization has a history of "totem worship", which is the embryonic form of human thinking and the starting point of all national ideological history. Compared with all kinds of worship, the "wolf totem" of the Romans, the "eagle totem" that still exists in Britain and America, or the "tiger totem" and "cow totem" of other nationalities have great limitations. Only "loong" is the omnipotent god! There are countless excellent qualities, such as cow's head and horse's face, lion's nose and rabbit's eyes, Tiger Claw eagle's claws, dried shrimps with antlers and fishtail. Ascend to the sky at the vernal equinox, dive into Yu Yuan at the autumnal equinox, or the clouds blow, or hide, or fish. On the ideological realm and cultural character, who can match the innate advantages of the Chinese? From this perspective, big and small, narrow and wide are not clear at a glance.
3 1, the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious. It seems that the magic of "dragon" has reached its peak. However, China people have conceived a more brilliant cultural grand plan: Dragon and Phoenix are auspicious! This is incredible! "Dragon" has "eagle claws" and still has the character of a bird. Why did it build "Phoenix"? "Shangshu": "Desire can't be vertical, things can't be extreme", and dragons are things, which can be described as extreme! What shall we do? This is the beauty of Phoenix! Yi says, "Kang Long has regrets" and "Don't hide the dragon". This is heaven. Only when dragons and phoenixes are auspicious can we show the wisdom of "leaderless". Only in this way will Dalong not be lonely, crazy and eccentric! As long as it doesn't deviate from heaven, Dalong won't bring about its own destruction! What is heaven? "Yi" says: "The way to establish heaven is Yin and Yang". Heaven is the way of yin and yang! The dragon is yang and the phoenix is yin. Dragon and phoenix are auspicious, yin and yang are combined, and the beauty of harmony is beyond words.
32. hieroglyphics. Chinese characters are the only hieroglyphics with vitality in the world today, which is a very magical thing. Hieroglyphs can be intuitive and abstract. Symbolic meaning and extended meaning do not interfere with each other, but complement each other and set each other off. Isn't it a miracle that only Chinese characters can do this? Such as Ben, Duan, Shang and Xia. "Yin", "Yang", "virtual", "real", "rigid" and "soft" are all relative expressions. "Ben" is the root and "Duan" is the treetop. Isn't the so-called "putting the cart before the horse" easy to understand? As for "up" and "down", it is self-evident. Yin is the negative side of the mountain, and Yang is the positive side of the mountain. It is obvious and reasonable to define Yin and Yang in this way. It is a complex natural phenomenon, a profound philosophical thought and a clever life wisdom. "Virtual" is an empty realm, while "real" is just a well-off family. Relatively speaking, what kind of artistic conception is that! "Stiffness" is the nature of gold and "softness" is the nature of wood. The difference between Jin Mu is recognized, the physical attributes and ecological interests are determined, and the beauty of image and phonology is truly expressed. What beautiful words!
33. Idiom vocabulary. Chinese words, especially idioms, pay attention to coupling and opposition, which are wonderful and profound. Concise and to the point, the text is simple and profound, killing two birds with one stone and rich in meaning. Chinese is a poetic language with a high degree of artistic and scientific unity. For example, turning Gankun around, saving the day, drawing lessons from the past, satirizing the present, water and fire are incompatible, and making mountains and rivers last forever ... Another example is "swimming", "traveling", "observing" and "friends" ... which contain rich cultural connotations and artistic imagination that foreign languages do not have. Coincidentally, they are paired, and the mystery can only be revealed by the theory of Yin and Yang. On this point, I will discuss it in detail in the article "Wonderful Chinese Language and Characters", needless to say. Using the simplest words to express the richest meaning is the magical effect of Chinese. Imagine that if you can't express it as concisely as Chinese, there will be a lot of nonsense. Isn't that unnecessary?
34. Flying murals. The image of "flying" in Dunhuang murals is unparalleled in the world. There are little angels with wings in western mythology. Obviously, in their minds, they can't fly without wings, even angels are no exception. The "flying fairy" in China ancient art can fly without wings, and it is extremely natural and unrestrained, free and helpless. Isn't this the excellence of China people's artistic imagination?
35. The horse stepped on the swallow. "Flying Swallow on horseback" is a bronze work of the Eastern Han Dynasty unearthed from the ruitai site in Wuwei City, Gansu Province. The horse has no wings and flies in the air. Although it is as fast as a devourer, it is far from the image of "flying horse" imagined by westerners.
36. The Great Wall of Wan Li. The Great Wall, which runs across the east and west and across Qian Shan, rises and falls with the mountains, wading through the water like a dragon occupying Asia. It is magnificent and silent, adding color to the rivers and mountains, connecting Kyushu into an organic whole, and picturesque scenery in Wan Li in the north. Isn't this a great artistic creation? I'm afraid only China people can make this artistic effect.
37. Architectural arts. China's unique architectural art, with the "big roof" as the most. The upturned cornices, column arches and halls above the high platform all have a living soul, which is a combination of reality and reality, dynamic and static, static and moving, holding when stopping, flying when lifting, waiting when expecting, solemn but not rigid, flexible but not frivolous. This is the artistic realm that China people have reached. Numerous pavilions, temples and halls all embody the unique artistic inspiration of the Chinese nation.
38. tenderness. Who can surpass the feelings of "Daiyu burying flowers" in A Dream of Red Mansions?
39. Be chivalrous. Whether it's a famous "righteous man" in the pre-Qin Dynasty in history of qing dynasty, or a hero in the water margin, thieves also have a good way to roam the rivers and lakes and run the world. This is the magic of China's cultural decadence. Robbers, bandits, local ruffians and bullies, a warrior, can understand the meaning of "righteousness" and "reason", and can ordinary people understand its meaning of "submission to Zhao 'an"?
40. Ancient books. Regardless of the "Three Tombs and Five Classics", only one "Sikuquanshu" is enough to stand out from the rest of the world.
4 1, the beauty of the article. Over the past 3,000 years, China's articles have been numerous, fantastic and beautiful, which shows the brilliance and heroism of the ancients. No matter Zuo Zhuan or Mencius, Chu Ci or Han Fu, from the Warring States Policy to the view of ancient literature, few people can match its great spirit, extraordinary weather, gorgeous articles and pure spirit.
42. China's poetry. Because Chinese characters are very artistic, after a long history of precipitation and the tempering of countless scholars, the cultural and ideological connotations of Chinese characters, words and sentences are extremely rich, and Chinese is extremely scientific and artistic. Chinese provides people with endless imagination. The most important trait of a poet is imagination, and the so-called romantic temperament is the most important trait of a poet. Therefore, under the influence of China people, almost all China people are talented poets, and the poet temperament has become a common feature of China people. With a little guidance and inspiration, countless talented poets and brilliant poems will emerge. Poetry of Tang and Song Dynasties is an outstanding representative of China's poetry and a treasure of China culture. China people's historical culture and spiritual beliefs have been condensed and refined in Tang and Song poetry, which embodies China people's understanding of nature and life wisdom, endows China people with extremely rich thoughts and feelings, and fully embodies China people's infinite artistic imagination. No matter Li Bai and Du Fu, no matter Han, Liu, Su and Huang, no matter Lu You and Chen Liang, any of them are unparalleled wizards at all times and in all countries. Tens of thousands of poems written in the Tang and Song Dynasties, which country or nation can compare with them? Don't!
43. Ming and Qing novels. Let's say the four classical novels, Journey to the West, Dream of Red Mansions, Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin, are all the best in the world. The Monkey King in The Journey to the West, the Grand View Garden in A Dream of Red Mansions, Zhuge Liang in The Romance of Three Kingdoms, and Liangshan hero in The Water Margin, are there any artistic creations in the world that can be compared with them?
44. China's calligraphy. From Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Zhong Dingwen, we will feel that those ancient Chinese characters are very skillfully carved, simple and elegant, heavy and dignified, and the strong artistic shock comes from ancient times and from the depths of the earth. As for Han Li in Qin Zhuan, it is elegant and beautiful, elegant and full of spirituality. Whenever you go there, a magical attraction will come to you. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, the artistic function of Chinese characters has been tempered by paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and a magnificent school of calligraphy in China has been born, which is dazzling in beauty. No matter where you are, as long as you see an educated China person picking up a writing brush and waving it freely on a piece of white rice paper with nothing, the paper is full of clouds in a blink of an eye, like a dream, the author is fascinated and the viewers are fascinated! At this time, who is not proud of China people?
45. China's paintings. Chinese painting has a long history, and the "ground painting" in Dadiwan is a rare masterpiece. From the painted pottery in Yangshao period to the magnificent bearing of Qin brick and Han tile, the painting genius of China people has been overwhelming! Incredibly, China people's paintings have had excellent "freehand brushwork" for a long time, and the unique freehand brushwork has become a miracle on earth. And this kind of extremely abstract kung fu, in western painting, is only possible in the hands of the Frenchman Picasso. In China, it seems to be born perfect and passed down from generation to generation. There were Gu Kaizhi in Wei and Jin Dynasties and Wu Daozi in Tang Dynasty. China's painting has undergone a historic transformation and a new atmosphere has flourished. After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, many masters of Chinese painting were born from Song and Xue Taoists to Dong Qichang, a Buddhist in Huating Xiangguang, which made China's landscape painting, figure painting and flower-and-bird painting all strive for perfection, with far-reaching artistic conception and elegant style. China's achievements in freehand brushwork reached its peak, especially in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, when literati painting was developed and strengthened, with rich connotation, profound meaning, exquisite and magnificent. China's painting and China's calligraphy come down in one continuous line, with ink and wash kung fu, fresh, beautiful and elegant, extraordinary temperament, a vibrant world and infinite scenery between squares. Freehand brushwork painting has a real taste in the plain, the spirit is everywhere, the situation will be different, and it will be on the paper.
46. China Music. /kloc-since the 0/8th century, western music has flooded in. Whether Beethoven or Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, their musical achievements seem unparalleled. Symphonies occupy concert halls all over the world, and dazzling lights, loud music and loud singing almost overshadow all other music. However, is this the highest state of music? Throughout ancient China, the exquisite "bone flute" discovered 8,000 years ago and a large number of "pottery urn" unearthed in Yangshao period are enough to show that the early achievements of China's music have been extraordinary. Legend has it that after Fuxi Nuwa and Shennong Huangdi, the musical instrument invented by China became a system of its own, which was fully proved by the large-scale chime musical instrument system found in the tomb of Zeng Houyi in the Warring States Period. Zhong Qing, gongs and drums, harp, flute, flute ... Compared with the instrumental music system in western symphonies, can we not be moved by those big bells and bells? "Stones from other mountains can attack jade". Only by comparing with the outstanding modern music achievements in the west can we know the ancient music achievements of China. The Chinese word "bosom friend" tells the story of "Boya" and "Zhong Ziqi", and a song "Mountains and Waters" has become a world-famous song (see Liezi's Tang Wen). However, the real "bosom friend" is Confucius, who recorded Confucius' evaluation criteria for music in the Analects of Confucius. From Confucius' comparison of Shao music and Wu music, the artistic sublimation from "perfection" to "perfection" makes our understanding of music not limited to music itself. Looking at Taoism again, Lao Tzu said that "sound is as loud as sound", which can be more specifically understood in Zhuangzi's realm of "sound without sorrow and joy". What is that musical accomplishment? Therefore, the achievements of Taoist music and Confucian music in China cannot be ignored.
47. China's plays. No matter whether it is Shaanxi Opera or Beijing Opera, whether it is Yue Opera or Henan Opera, its comprehensive achievements and artistic realm are still unparalleled in the world, and Shakespeare's works are absolutely incomparable in both connotation and charm.
48. Aesthetics in China. China's aesthetics pays attention to the harmony and unity of truth, goodness and beauty. The so-called "neutral beauty" (advocated by Confucianism) and "natural beauty" (pursued by Taoism) are two key points to grasp aesthetic standards, while those isolated beauty and pure beauty are absurd and incomplete, and fallacies are inevitable. How can the existence of prejudice and defects achieve a truly "perfect" state? The standard of beauty is the difference between yin and yang, and the change of rigidity and softness. The so-called "masculine beauty" and "feminine beauty" have their own beauty, but how can they be perfect? The perfection of life and the great beauty of heaven and earth are bound to be the combination of yin and yang, the combination of rigidity and softness, and the complementarity of opposites, reaching a so-called "transformation", which is the special realm of China's aesthetics. The highest aesthetic realm is wonderful, and the "essence" in Yi is "white essence", which is a kind of artistic conception of returning to nature and elegance to the extreme.
49, sink fish and fall wild goose. "Sinking fish and falling geese" and "closing the moon and feeling ashamed of flowers" are an aesthetic realm revealed by China's classical aesthetics. The so-called "sinking fish and falling wild goose" is a quiet, elegant, natural and calm state, not arrogant, elegant, leisurely, calm Jing Ya's demeanor, free and easy tolerance, calm and carefree, which is the artistic conception of "sinking fish and falling wild goose", a beautiful state and image. "Being ashamed of flowers when the moon is closed" refers to the state of "the moon is hazy" and "the flowers are half open", which is the implicit beauty and hazy beauty revealed by China's classical aesthetics. It is worth noting that the so-called artistic conception of "sinking fish and falling geese" and "closing the moon and feeling ashamed of flowers" mainly embodies a kind of "beauty of life" and "beauty of ecology", which gives us an inspiration. Aesthetic principles and aesthetic principles conform to the law of life and ecological principles, but aesthetics that does not conform to the law of life and ecological principles is problematic.
50. Chinese seal. "Seal" is a unique art in China's painting and calligraphy. "Sculpture" inherits the ancient traditions of Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Zhong Dingwen, and embodies an extremely simple artistic taste. "Chinese Seal" integrates sculpture, painting and calligraphy. How many people's wisdom and Chinese culture are condensed by a seal!
5 1, China Baoyu. China people's worship of "jade" is unique in the world. The aesthetic value of "jade" is various. It is the complete unity of truth, goodness and beauty and a symbol of incomparable dignity. There is a saying that "gold is valuable, but jade is priceless". Unify the attribute of jade with the nature of a gentleman. The purity of jade conforms to the noble character of a gentleman, and it is soft outside and firm inside. Only under the guidance of the idea of "harmony between man and nature" can "gentleman" and jade be unified. The tradition of wearing jade has become the oldest cultural tradition of China people, and it has not been interrupted since the Neolithic Age. This is vividly reflected in Jia Baoyu in A Dream of Red Mansions. A Baoyu contains extremely rich historical and cultural connotations.
52. China Stone. China people's tradition of loving stones and appreciating strange stones is unique in the world. "Ugly time" and "beautiful jade" have become a corresponding aesthetic system. Ugliness is the beauty of stones. Where is the beauty? "Thin", "wrinkle", "leakage" and "transparency" are the four aesthetic characteristics of judging lake stones, which are completely opposite to the round, smooth, delicate and fine characteristics of Meiyu. In the classical gardens of China, a strange stone is ugly, clumsy and simple, but it is the finishing touch of a landscape garden! This is a kind of natural beauty, which endows artificial gardens with a natural taste, and this aesthetic taste is an extraordinary artistic taste.
53. China porcelain. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, silk and porcelain have become the most important export products of China, which has won many reputations for China. Jingdezhen is the most famous porcelain. An ordinary piece of soil has been tempered by fire and water, and a miracle has appeared: dazzling, glittering as jade, colorful and unparalleled. This is the artistic charm of fine porcelain. In the creation and invention of porcelain, China people turned the myth of "Nu Wa's refining stone" into reality and turned decay into magic. The combination of chemical change and artistic creation, and the combination of artificial wonders and natural wonders will often produce unexpected artistic effects. If we compare Chinese porcelain craft with Italian glass craft, the characteristics of China are obvious.
54, China chess. China chess is the epitome of China's ancient politics and military affairs, and the crystallization of the art of war and military wisdom. One shot, one horse, one soldier, criss-crossing chariots and horses, strategizing with each other, fighting in advance and retreat, containing each other, marching and arranging, improvising, full of life wisdom and showing rich philosophical thoughts.
55. Go in China. China Weiqi is a great invention. Its artistic conception and ideological connotation show the extraordinary imagination and creativity of China people, and embody the extraordinary wisdom and broad mind of China people. Round chess pieces take the initiative, symbolizing heaven; Square chessboard is quiet, symbolizing tunnel; Just like the meaning of "the sky is round and the place is round". A chess piece, with black and white color, reasonable yin and yang, Daoism Taiji, has the image of heaven, earth, sun and moon, wonderful opening and closing, advancing and retreating in reality, changeable communication, pushing hard and pushing soft, relying on attack and defense, suddenly like entering a dragon, suddenly like two dragons playing with beads, suddenly like smoke, suddenly like calm, suddenly like a narrow road meeting, suddenly like a fight, suddenly the sky is far away, and people who are proud of the spring breeze walk in front step by step, and the sea and the sky are one. However, diamond cut diamond, how can we be careless? For a moment, I missed, I was passive everywhere, and I worked step by step, losing ground. One careless move will lose the game! Although the master has a unique skill, breaking his wrist and "abandoning his son" can also bring Gan Kun back to life, winning big with small ones. Not too soon! In the game of Go, you will live if you have "Qi", and die if you don't have "Qi". When experts meet, the final outcome depends on the size of space and the order of hands, not a life-and-death contest, but the presentation of the level of realm and the size of mind. Weiqi is a "fairy chess" and a "hand talk". The game is about the player's demeanor and self-cultivation, the distance of vision, and the size of the gas. The highest realm of the game is the perception and transcendence of life, not simple gains and losses. This confirms Yao Di's legendary intention of inventing Weiqi: cultivate self-cultivation, cultivate sentiment, cultivate morality and cultivate spirit.
56. China Wushu. The original invention of weapons is a great progress of human civilization, however, there are problems in the use of weapons: when weapons are used by people to kill each other, weapons become killing weapons. All kinds of weapons in battle are not used to deal with wild animals, but to kill their own kind. How to resolve this contradiction, this has the idea of "turning the war into a jade". The idea of "stopping for martial arts" is the basic belief of China Wushu. Self-defense and self-cultivation combine to turn evil into good fortune, turn enemies into friends, turn enemies into friends, and save the day. Therefore, these deadly weapons, such as swords, spears, spears and clubs, have evolved into magic weapons for health preservation, and "eighteen martial arts" have become the art of health preservation. "Emei Sword" and "Shaolin Knife" have been transformed by China Wushu, and the sword light, sword shadow and gun stick have become a peaceful artistic realm. Isn't this a wonderful thing? As for the highest realm of China Wushu, weapons have become redundant. Taiji Chuan and Bagua Zhang don't need weapons. They are a kind of sublimation of life art and thought, in which the life perception contains the superb wisdom of China's ancient philosophy, which is profound and unfathomable, and it is not enough to think that others are humanitarian.
57. Food culture. China's food culture is not a general food culture, but a food culture deeply influenced by Confucian culture and Taoist culture. China's food culture is highly unified in science, art and thought, and its scientific connotation, ideological connotation and cultural and artistic connotation are extremely rich. Confucius said, "You never get tired of eating fine food", which is the best annotation to China's food culture. China food culture is the foundation and source of China culture, which reflects the basic spirit and special nature of China culture. "Harmony of Five Flavors" is the basic guiding ideology of China's cooking technology. Because the cooking process needs to balance yin and yang and reconcile the five flavors, the reason is the same as governing the country. Laozi said, "Governing a big country is like cooking a little fresh". The unity of food culture and political culture embodies the inclusiveness and harmony of China culture. In fact, China's food culture has integrated all aspects of China's traditional culture. First of all, the scientific nature of China's food culture is very important. Imagine that oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sugar, wine, ginger, onion, garlic and pepper are chemically treated.
wait for
