What should children learn when they study Chinese studies?
What is classic reading? What is moral classic reading? What are the concepts of "classic", "moral classic" and "moral classic"? Xiong Chunjin, a famous master of Chinese studies, told us that the word "Chinese studies" appeared in the early 20th century. Originated from the spread of western learning to the east (the Westernization Movement began in the Qing Dynasty and has been reformed since the May 4th Movement. ) period. A group of patriots put forward it in order to protect the characteristics of our national culture from the erosion of western ideas. To sum up, sinology is the sum total of various theories that distinguish our country and nation from other countries and nations, which are manifested in ways of thinking, philosophy, culture, art, science and technology, beliefs and so on. According to Mr. Xiong Chunjin, classical reading can be basically divided into two categories, one is the reading of classics, and the other is the reading of classics. For the definition of "Jing", its level is higher than "Dian". Historically, according to the development of the cultural system, especially the humanistic system, Jing is a model or article that all nationalities in the world can play an educational role in both spiritual nutrition and acquired wisdom. Look at the classics of China and the world-class classics. Most of them have an important feature, that is, they can accommodate our three-dimensional knowledge and provide us with spiritual nutrition. In other words, they can cross the chords of Yin and Yang in the center of the Taiji diagram, and improve our wisdom and wisdom simultaneously, so that the two systems of wisdom and wisdom can be improved simultaneously. That is, we often say that the brain is responsible for memory, thinking and judgment, while the brain is responsible for feeling and capturing intuition. If we want to improve people's knowledge, culture and quality at these two levels, we must pay attention to the reading of "Jing". Mr. Xiong Chunjin's role in "Canon" focuses on reflecting some written records made by historical predecessors with great wisdom, which are basically at the level of knowledge rather than culture. In other words, the cultural connotation is less, and it doesn't have some knowledge or nutrition that experiences Yin and Yang at the same time, including black and white. It has no dual function, only unilateral function. In other words, the Canon contains more Taibai Guo. Moreover, the concept of "point" explained by people in modern society has usually changed the definition of "point" in ancient times. Modern people's general definition of "Canon" is to analyze and understand "Canon" equally with the concept of "book" defined in ancient times. Classics, which are generally said in society, have become synonymous with books in the classic system. We should also pay attention to this difference between academic and popular. In modern times, many people regard "books" as "classics" in their study, not to mention "classics". For us, people tend to pay more attention to acquired knowledge than intuition and inspiration. Therefore, in the historical period of our country, the country was strong and the politics was clear. For example, in the Han Dynasty, the classic of "Huang Lao" was used to guide officials to study, and talents were selected to govern the country according to this classic, which brought the glory of the rule of culture. In the Han Dynasty, due to the autocratic role of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu's ban on words, and Tian Fen (then the prime minister and uncle of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty) came forward to jointly clear the Four Classics of the Yellow Emperor, and translated the 5,000-word version of Laozi, which was close to the original, into the Tao Te Ching, and made some modifications to the contents of the scripture, which became the paragraphs of the Tao Te Ching in later generations. However, in the Tang Dynasty, under this background, Laozi's 5,000 words were still used to educate the whole people, which still brought the glory of the Tang Dynasty, and this glory has far-reaching influence all over the world. From this good historical phenomenon, we can see that people who really attach importance to classic reading education can not only improve the humanistic quality of the whole people, but also greatly help the prosperity of society. However, after the Song and Ming Dynasties, eight-part essays appeared, reading only "books" but not "classics", reading only "four books" but not advocating classics, and the most famous Book of Changes was also eliminated from "classics". At this time, China's education basically entered a rigid period. Therefore, when history develops to the May 4th period, there will inevitably be a historical phenomenon of opposing reading "books". At that time, due to the influx of western culture, people suddenly woke up from the imprisonment of stereotyped writing, and there were also some phenomena of "splashing children with water". According to our modern understanding of reading "books" and "classics", reading "books" and "classics" basically appeared at the same time in society, starting from the end of last century. However, if we only look at the "books" represented by Confucianism, it seems not enough for us to improve children's humanistic quality and character through subtle ways. Because some places in the country have been engaged in it for ten years, and some places have been engaged in it for seven or eight years, books and other classics have been specially selected to guide children in moral education. At a certain level and stage, due to the profound connotation of books and the subtle influence on the spiritual level, children can only be cultivated and educated in character, while the improvement of internal material energy is affected by the simultaneous development of moral mind and intelligence. Whoever can properly combine "Jing" and "Shu" for reading can break through this bottleneck stage. Just like Professor Wang Caigui in Taiwan Province, how did he promote classic reading? In Chinese mainland, he advocated reading "books" instead of "classics", but if we look at his own speech, there is a phenomenon: he instructed his son to read "classics", especially reading five thousand words of Laozi, which changed his original mentally retarded son's status quo. This son is still drooling at the age of seven or eight. At first, his expression ability and thinking level were not good, but he used a summer vacation to guide his son to recite 5,000 words of Laozi. As a result, his children's intelligence and wisdom have entered a new stage simultaneously. Through his own examples and many such experiments in China, the experience summed up over the years proves that if you read a book, you can only read "1000 words". Disciples' Rules and other contents about "books" can play a good role in regulating children's morality, but they have encountered obvious limitations in improving children's humanistic quality and truly changing children's wisdom, and the effect is not good. If "classics" and "books" are combined, especially for children after the age of eight, they can not only shape their moral character, but also gain wisdom and nutrition. Their intelligence level has also risen to a new height, because there is spiritual nutrition energy in "Jing", which is invisible and intangible, but it is objectively combined in the word structure of ancient Chinese. As long as we read aloud, we can activate some doors and windows that connect our internal environment with our external environment. Once this warehouse channel is activated, the creation of this character and the energy gained from nature will also be significantly improved. This is also some experience and verification gained in a large number of classic reading promotion. On the two levels of "classics" and "books", only by grasping these two points can children's humanistic quality, moral norms and moral quality be improved in the process of education, and their intellectual ability of learning knowledge can also be improved. That's how I raise my children. You see, when people talk about the Book of Changes, most of them think it's a stall. We in China all think it's the Book of Changes. But why in the west, people think the Book of Changes is a science when they see it? The west quickly combined his mathematical theory with scientific theory and produced a large number of inventions. Westerners can understand scientific truth from simple symbols, but we can't. What's the reason? In fact, after China's stereotyped writing education, we lack intuition and inspiration, so we can't interpret profound scientific truth from the simplest, most primitive and closest symbols of our ancestors. Therefore, if we can really cultivate the intuition and inspiration of our whole nation and children, we should read the original Tao Te Ching, which is the original intention of Laozi's five thousand words. Therefore, children should start reading Laozi's Tao Te Ching and Tao Jing, such as the Book of Changes. He mainly opens every child's scientific mind, uses his intuition and inspiration in the simplest way, and discovers the most basic operating law between heaven and earth, so as to deduce, understand nature and know the world. Mr. Xiong Chunjin believes that the original mode of Tao Te Ching is to advance the Tao with morality. Only when we have the character and energy of virtue can we understand the laws of nature. At the same time, mastering the Book of Changes for deduction and calculation basically constitutes a system of our moral root culture. Why was our nation always ahead of the west in comprehensive national strength and scientific inventions before the16th century? However, after16th century, the creativity of our nation has obviously shrunk, falling behind the western countries. The reason for this is that we don't pay attention to cultivating intuition and inspiration in the national spirit, but only pay attention to learning the accumulated experience of predecessors through acquired wisdom, lacking the ability to invent and create. Because the invention is based on the knowledge of predecessors, and then on this basis through their own intuition and inspiration. "Introducing Classics by Virtue" is the concept of "quoting Classics by Virtue" put forward by Chinese scholar Mr. Xiong Chunjin. Based on the cultivation of moral quality, reading classics can provide food for good moral spirit. Therefore, the main goal of children's learning Chinese studies is to cultivate and improve their moral character, cultivate their gratitude, fraternity, loyalty and filial piety, tolerance and self-consideration, and form a good learning attitude through comprehensive education of their morality, intelligence and wisdom during the period. Good moral energy inspires children's innate wisdom, so that children can have a wise mind and good character while accepting the synchronization of sage culture. The development of material civilization is inseparable from human creativity, which comes from human "wisdom" (intuition and inspiration). It is wisdom that produces new discoveries, new ideas, new inventions and new creations through wisdom. Human wisdom must take the energy of virtue as the source of creativity. Parents' own moral quality, teachers' own moral quality, moral quality and energy, parents' and teachers' knowledge, knowledge, attention to and application of classics, and clear morality are all very important. The Confucian classic "University" also said: those who want virtue in ancient times should rule their country first; If you want to govern your country, you must first put your family in order; Want to be in a family, first repair the body; If you want to cultivate yourself, you should be upright first; If you want to be correct, be sincere first; People who want sincerity; Get to know it first; Knowledge exists in things. Everyone knows everything, everyone knows it and is sincere, sincere and upright, upright and upright, well-trained and well-groomed, well-groomed and well-governed, well-groomed and well-governed. From Tian Zi to Shu Ren, one is to cultivate one's morality. Those who are confused after the treatment are not treated; Thick is thin, thin is thick, and there is nothing. This is called knowing it, and this is called knowing it. Laozi is proficient in the avenue, and Confucius is good at the ordinary road. Laozi was born in Tao, used in virtue, played in Yin and Yang, and was transported to all things. Zhongqi thinks peace and understands the moral principles of everything in the universe. Confucius took Tao as the aim, virtue as the basis, benevolence as the basis and art as the tour, and understood the normal principles of the healthy survival and development of life, family and society. Lao Xue and Confucius both respect Tao and morality. They developed their own theories and thoughts according to the Tao Te Ching and explained the highest thought of their theories, which became a unique school of traditional moral culture in China. * * * The Avenue and Long Island, which constitute the traditional moral culture of China, have different positions, but all roads lead to the same goal. They are the spiritual food of the Chinese nation, feeding the development of the whole Chinese nation and becoming the founders and historical leaders of the excellent Chinese culture. Therefore, children's classic reading should grasp three keys: choosing classics that can cultivate children's morality, wisdom and wisdom. Use Laozi's classic of virtue and morality, the king of all classics, to build moral mind and open the door to wisdom; By revealing the laws of nature in the Book of Changes, we can open up a wise mind and establish the concept of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. Use "University", "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "The Analects of Confucius" to cultivate the character and character of Confucian scholars and become the elite after China's entry into WTO. Using the ancestor of Huangdi Neijing to establish a correct view of life and cultivate life science talents; Use disciples' rules, three-character classics and aphorisms to regulate and restrain acquired consciousness and cultivate moral deficiencies.
