What is a person?
Man (scientific name: Homo sapiens, meaning "wise man") is an upright walking species in the primate family. Mitochondrial DNA and fossils prove that humans originated in East Africa about 200,000 years ago. Compared with other animals, human brain, abstract thinking, language, self-awareness and problem-solving ability are highly developed. This ability, coupled with the fact that human upright body can make human forelimbs move freely, makes human's ability to use tools far exceed anything else.

According to China's happiness research, human nature is not satisfied. What is a person? In terms of human nature, or in a broad sense, people are animals whose nature is not satisfied. This definition is defined from the perspective of human nature. In fact, any human being, like any leaf in nature, is different from other similar people and has his own personality, especially human consciousness. According to Marx's theory, we know that matter determines consciousness. Therefore, we can define "man" as follows: man is an animal with a certain consciousness formed in a specific environment because of his unsatisfied nature. What is the unsatisfied nature of human beings? People's unsatisfied nature means that people are not satisfied with the status quo and always want me or our things to be better than others. The following examples can prove that human nature is not satisfied: for example, comparing young people with young animals, it is difficult for people to do nothing most of the day like ordinary animals. People are generally "demented" for ten minutes, and they will be called "you are sick". If an animal stays for half a day or more, no one will think it is sick. Example 2: People's innate self-esteem. Everyone likes to listen to praise and is unwilling to listen to criticism, especially those uneducated children. Example 3: People are not satisfied. Although we often say that "contentment is always happy", we seldom find that anyone will be satisfied-unless he is really sick. Ex. 4: The evolutionary history of human beings also indirectly proves that human nature is not satisfied. The reason why human beings are different from ordinary animals is that they have gradually formed a stronger unsatisfied nature. Because of human dissatisfaction, it leads to a stronger desire for knowledge and practice, which leads to the continuous development and progress of human beings, making human beings stand out from the general animal species and become the present human beings; Other animals, because they are easy to satisfy, make progress very hard or slowly. In addition, people who don't plead guilty or commit heinous crimes are generally judged as "not human", so there is a saying in China that Japanese people are not human. For specific reasons, please refer to the Japanese invasion of China in World War II and its present performance. 6. Religion's Definition of Man The Bible says: "God created man in his own image, but he created male and female in his own image. The Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed life into his nostrils, and he became a living soul, and his name was God. He also said, "God made a woman out of a rib taken from a man and brought her to the man. The man said, this is the bone in my bones and the flesh in my flesh, so you can call her a woman because she was taken out of a man. So the herringbone is made up of left and right parts. The word "person" symbolizes androgyny of a man and a woman, is a typical representative of the combination of the two, and is a representative symbol of husband and wife. Male left and female right, male tall and female low, male big and female small. The left scroll represents a man, indomitable and indomitable. He occupies most of the space, which means that men have more rights and responsibilities than women. Since men go to heaven, men should appear. Therefore, men should love women and shoulder the heavy responsibility of life. When the sky falls, it is God's duty to have a man to hold it up. Only when a woman marries such a man will she feel lean, happy and secure. The one on the right represents a woman, weaker than a man. The space occupied by women is relatively small, and their responsibilities, obligations and strength are relatively small. Under the care of men's arms, she is a man's right-hand man and a man's dependence. Men and women depend on each other and are indispensable. Therefore, no matter which word "person" is missing, it is stagger and top-heavy. Without support and dependence, everyone will fall into the word "one". I can't go to the sky, I can't go to the ground, I'm alone. Even if you try to stand up straight and stand at attention, it is still a word "1". Lonely and helpless, 1 is unique. They are all single. Anyway, they are all single. There is a crossword puzzle like this: there are left and right, small and big, high and low, married and married. This is the word "person". God said, "a man should leave his parents and marry his wife, and they will become one." In God's view, when men and women are together, they are complete people, happy people and people who can carry on the family line. You see, the word "good" is a combination of a man and a woman, and only a combination of men and women is the best. Imagine, how can there be today's human beings without a complete person? Since two people have to be one to be a complete person, husband and wife should not be separated. We should be one, close, and should not leave. Only in this way can we become a complete person, a real person and a happy person forever. If there are contradictions, quarrels and estrangements between two people, there will be a distance between them, so the word "person" will not be pronounced and become the word "eight". Originally a loving couple, now they have become opposing sides, glaring at each other and being wary of each other. Without close emotional ties, there is no love at all. The origin and fall of man At first, God made man out of dust, blew life into his nostrils, and became a living soul named Adam. God said, "It is not good for that man to live alone." He created a wife named Eve. What if Adam divided a part of his body into an Eve? Is this the integration of men and women? ) From then on, there was a marriage and family. Man is made up of soul, and it is the soul that keeps him alive. Because people have souls, they can think, invent, and know good, evil, beauty and ugliness. The soul in the human body is life, and soul and body are inseparable. Without the body, the soul cannot be expressed in the material world. The body can't live without soul. It's a dead man. Therefore, human death is not the end of life, but the separation of soul and body, the soul will live forever, and the body from dust will return to dust. God let Adam and Eve enjoy the blessing and eternal life given by God under the sovereignty of God, and put them in the temple. They didn't listen to God and were lured by the devil to commit crimes against God, so they were driven out of the Garden of Eden by God, leading to sin and death entering the world. The devil, also known as Satan, has puzzled the whole world. He pretended to call God's name to tempt people to worship it, such as idols, dragons, snakes, pythons, weasels, witchcraft, big immortals and so on. People are tempted to worship it, trapped in its trap and unable to extricate themselves from the disaster. After death, their souls will go to hell and suffer forever. The devil lures people to abandon the only true God and worship it, which makes mankind commit heinous crimes. This is the ignorance of human beings, which makes human beings fall into superstition. Some people used the devil's witchcraft to make millions of compatriots lose their blood and go to the underworld. So we should repent. Believe in the only true God, because sin will always bring people pain and disease. How terrible sin is. How pitiful it is that people live in sin and suffer, like lost sheep, unable to get rid of their sins! What do we do? God has prepared salvation for people, and eternal life is in destruction and death because of sin. God cares about the people he created and loves the world. He didn't give up people because of sin, but prepared salvation for people. According to his plan, he sent his only son Jesus as our savior. This is a sacred inspiration for pregnancy and the birth of the Virgin Mary. It's really shocking good news. Christmas is celebrated all over the world to commemorate the birth of the savior, in order to save mankind from sin and seek to save the lost. It has been more than two thousand years since the birth of Jesus, before his birth, BC, and after his birth. The Lord was born in Bethlehem, Judea, and brought rich grace and truth to mankind. He brought comfort to the suffering people, direction to the lost people, salvation and eternal life to those who walked in sin and death, enabled us to find the source and destination, realized the true value of human beings, and finally brought us to the eternal country, the kingdom of heaven.

[Edit this paragraph] VII. The purpose and application of humanistic research

Mr. Zhang Ronghuan, a contemporary Chinese scholar and anthropologist, in the book Purpose of Humanities Research and Application published in March 2008, solved and obtained the fundamental proposition and the latest achievement in the field of humanities research and application: "The purpose of humanities research and application is to cooperate with the rise of human beings and the rise of personality and its ecology!" "People-oriented is the basic viewpoint of human studies, and it is an all-round development view with three-dimensional thinking concept. It focuses on the integrity, coordination and sustainability of development, which not only embodies the characteristics of logical thinking and systematic thinking, but also effectively enhances people's ecological thinking, establishes the modern significance of ecological thinking mode, and shows that the purpose of humanistic research and its application is to cooperate with the rise of people's personality and their ecology! " "The method of taking care of social order from a rational perspective is a new perspective of humanistic research, which points out the direction for China's humanistic research in the new century." "The most important feature of human studies is to start from' realistic people', directly pay attention to the real existence and living conditions of contemporary people, pay attention to people's practical needs, pay attention to solving practical problems, and pay attention to people's all-round development. Promoting people's all-round development is the premise and foundation of promoting economic and cultural development and improving people's material and cultural living standards. The more people develop in an all-round way, the more material wealth of society is created, and the more people's lives are improved. The more abundant the material and cultural conditions, bimonthly can promote the all-round development of people. The development level of social productive forces and economy and culture is a gradual and endless historical process, and so is the all-round development of human beings. These two historical processes should be combined to promote each other. " This has pointed out the direction for China's humanistic research in the new century. ""Only by reflecting in the personality ecology can we obtain the truth-like methods and wisdom ""When reflection loses its initial development environment in science and philosophy. If we want to find a certain environment after this distinction, only by putting people back to the first place in life can we have the starting point, that is, we should reflect on the personality ecology and use an oriental term "health preservation" to explain his role and significance. If you lose the function of keeping in good health, the phenomenological method will become meaningless! Pure phenomenology, which is divorced from personality ecology, is a science about pure consciousness. It only comes from pure "reflection" and is meaningless "science". This requires the basic view of anthropology to revive the life of this zombie discipline, that is, to pay attention to "human society", "life world", "interactive subject" and "personality ecology" while putting forward reflective requirements for science and philosophy. "Only human studies can reflect and grasp the existence and significance of human beings as a whole." "The foothold of human science is not completely close to the road of modern western human science, nor is it to continue along the road of China's traditional culture, but to study human beings in the changing trend of human beings and the environment and improve the overall quality of human beings and the world environment! The historical mission of human science is to go to the real life world of human beings, gain insight into the living experience of real people, pay attention to, respect and shape people, and provide humanistic spirit, core cultural concepts, reasonable ways and observation methods for human development practice. Humanism can determine the connotation of humanistic spirit from the overall understanding of human beings, which is fundamentally based on the realistic grasp of human beings and their essence (humanity), existence and historical development law and the interpretation of the times, which is inseparable from the study of humanism, and one of the highest functions and fundamental purposes of humanism is to provide core cultural ideas for the development and practice of contemporary human beings, that is, core humanistic spirit. Therefore, humanism is a profound theoretical basis for exploring humanistic spirit and embodies the function of humanism in the times. Therefore, humanism is a fundamental and constructive "practical project of personality and its ecological cultivation", which is related to the fate of human development and philosophical development.

[Edit this paragraph] VIII. What do people do?

☆ Ye has difficulty in being a man. The difficulty is that there is no good habit and morality, no knowledge and ability; It is easy to manage the law for people who take benevolent people as their friends and knowledge as their teachers. What people do reflects people's morality, personality, dignity and conscience, which is determined by complex and simple different lifestyles such as social environment and the benefits generated by people around their lives. Man is the only conscious member in the animal world, and his emotions and emotions are positive factors that affect human behavior. Although people can consciously control their emotions and feelings from the heart through conscious psychology, in subconscious psychology, people will respond instinctively to external stimuli, which is in line with the truth that human beings accept or resist reality in the laws of nature. No matter how emotions are intertwined, people always try to combine action with reason, so as to grasp themselves and practice boldly. In this way, the more talented and knowledgeable people, the more cultured and educated they are, the more civilized they are, the more they can mobilize people's thoughts and behaviors, and even turn negative mentality into positive power. As Frank Green of America wrote in his autobiography, "My purpose is to form the habit of all virtues". "It is best to concentrate for a period of time to master one of the virtues. When I mastered one virtue, I began to pay attention to another, and so on until I mastered thirteen. Because some virtues acquired first can facilitate the cultivation of other virtues. " Frank Green's thirteen virtues are: 1 temperance. Not enough to eat; Don't get drunk when drinking. 2 taciturn. Words will benefit others and avoid useless small talk. 3 life order. Everything must have a certain place to put it; There should be some time to do things every day. 4 determination. As a necessity; You should stick to what you are determined to do. 5 frugality. Spending money must be beneficial to others or yourself, in other words, avoid wasting. 6 Diligence. Don't waste time; Do something useful at any time and give up all unnecessary actions. 7 sincerity. Don't lie, your thoughts are pure and just, and so is your speech. 8 justice. Don't do things that harm others and benefit yourself, and don't forget to fulfill your obligations that are beneficial to others. 9 degrees. Avoid going to extremes. If someone gives you the punishment you deserve, you should tolerate it. 10 cleaning. Try to keep your body, clothes and residence clean. 1 1 Calm down. Don't panic because of trivial matters or ordinary inevitable accidents. 12 chastity. Except for the sake of health or future generations, don't have promiscuity and avoid excessive sexual intercourse. Non-standardization and skills will harm the body or damage the peace or reputation of yourself or others. 13 modesty. Imitate Jesus and Socrates. This is the truth that life needs to explain and do. Only by following these virtues can we take an ideal boat and sail to the other side with beautiful scenery. No matter whether a person's life is chic, simple or poor, people always have their own plans and lifestyles, always looking for their own way out and fighting for their own territory. Although the philosophy of life is colorful, the realm of life is our common and joint efforts. Tao is the "inaction" that Taoism emphasizes in our philosophy to conform to nature, not inaction, and emphasizes "acting according to reason and doing according to capital" Obey the rules and don't do anything arbitrary.

1, human research

Concept: Anthropology is a new science about human existence, essence and the law of its generation, movement, development and change. Humanism first takes people themselves as the research object, and integrates people into nature and the universe to make an overview. Man is the dialectical unity of body and spirit. The essence of spirit is also material. The material existence forms of man and nature are basically the same. Man and the universe are essentially the same. The meaning and value of life lies in the contribution to others, society and mankind. Only by establishing a correct outlook on the world, life, values, time and space and development can people embark on the road of true and complete freedom and liberation. In essence, anthropology is a frontier discipline that spans sociology, psychology and anthropology. It is a science that comprehensively studies people's social attributes, physiological and psychological attributes and comprehensive characteristics, as well as the laws of their occurrence, development and change. Humanism in a narrow sense is a comprehensive humanities and social science, which mainly studies human nature (human essence), the meaning of life and the code of conduct of human beings. It is an organic ideological system with the theory of human nature as the core, the outlook on life (life value theory and code of conduct theory), the theory of rule of man (self-cultivation theory and political theory of governing people) and the theory of human social ideal as the content.

2. anthropologists

Anthropologists are people who cultivate personality and its ecology. Generally speaking, it refers to people who specialize in human studies, that is, human existence, essence and the laws of its emergence, movement, development and change. In particular, it refers to people who have made academic research and social practice contributions to the "personality and its ecological rise project". Everyone should attach importance to human studies, because people who pursue human studies are not only the expression of their love, but also people with superb love. People come to this world for the sake of the continuous rise of personality and its ecology, so as to realize the purpose of civilization and its happiness. The greatness of human beings is essentially the greatness of personality, on the contrary, the ugliness of human beings is essentially the filth of personality. People with great personality will continue to serve and increase the ecological goodness, while people with ugly personality will continue to destroy and increase the ecological ugliness. Let everyone become a humanist, care for others and themselves with truth, goodness and beauty, and show each other's lifestyles and ways of thinking in the process of inheritance, development, blending and differentiation of aesthetic concepts and cultural phenomena. It is the efforts made by human beings for world civilization and its happiness every day until the rise of personality and its ecology. Everyone takes the rise of personality and its ecology as their own responsibility, preaching everywhere, serving those who don't love me, those who love me, those I love, the rejuvenation of mankind, and those who have discovered and risen completely. Those who have risen by virtue of their own personality and ecology have accepted the invitation of the ego and responded freely, and are also driven by the love of the ego to spread civilized and happy humanistic theories and methods to the whole world. Humanism is a treasure house of truth, goodness and beauty. It is handed down from generation to generation, expressed from people's conscience and displayed to all those who are determined to improve their personality and ecology. On the one hand, it shows their beliefs, on the other hand, it inspires their emotions and celebrates in a poetic way in civilization and its happiness.

1. Is it just an accident that people exist?

● Is the existence of human beings and all other creatures really "accidental"? Do we have a "mission"? What is the meaning of life? Is it true that everyone's "meaning of life" is different? First of all, there are hundreds of millions of creatures in the world, which shows that the existence of "creatures" is inevitable; Because "accidental" events cannot be repeated. ● What is the inevitability of that? ● If I ask you a question, you will know: If we human beings want to exist better and even live forever, should we first ensure the "safety" or even "immortality" of the universe? After all, the "universe" is dead, how can we "survive"? ● Is it really possible for the "universe" to perish? ● The universe is a whole, including all creatures that have evolved for so long, and the survival of a whole is quite subtle, so the universe may die if it is left unchecked, so the survival of the universe is closely related to us! ● Or: We "exist" to ensure the "existence" of the "universe"; We are the "protectors" of the universe. In other words, human beings and all living things are the inevitable result of the evolution of the universe, because the universe is also evolving in the direction of better existence. ● In addition to the "mission" of "protecting the universe", we also have an important "mission", that is "natural reproduction"! Just as oxygen+hydrogen+normal environment ignited this "mother" and has been gestating this thing "water", the growth of this "universe" is because it multiplies "nature" with "nature" to infinity! So what people call "God" is actually "man" himself, because we want to "create everything" and "protect the universe". Therefore, we have two major missions: "directing existence" (directing the existence of ourselves and the whole universe) and "evolution" (reproducing nature/creating things) ● If our mission of evolution is really "creating things" (reproducing nature and making the universe grow) and "protecting the universe" (directing the universe to exist better), how can it implant this "trend" into us? ● That is "emotion"! You will find that we all have some profound feelings and pleasures, such as sense of mission, greatness, sacredness, curiosity and sense of achievement, which are guiding us to save the world, protect the universe and create everything. And the power generated by these "emotions" is often greater than "personal interests" and "children's affair". Therefore, we can also see that human emotions do not only lead to our own existence, otherwise our deepest emotions and fun should be personal desires and children's affairs rather than a sense of mission and greatness. Therefore, human beings exist not for "atonement", nor for "enjoyment", nor for "finding the other half"; It exists to protect and expand the universe. So be sure to cherish your life and not commit suicide. After all, the substances that make up our bodies have a "history of existence" of billions of years, from the existence of the universe to gathering together, which has gone through billions of years. If we die like this, can we live up to their expectations? Is it worthy of such a long time of cohesion? It can be said that the universe evolved human beings for better existence, and the universe is the real parents of all people; And we are the real "elves" and "protectors" of this universe. Since our "existence" is to protect the universe and make it grow, what reason can we not accomplish our mission? What is the meaning of life? That is "creating everything" and "protecting the universe", so as to live with one's beloved "people" or "things" and get more, longer and deeper life pleasure; Therefore, the meaning of life mainly depends on how much help you have created for contemporary and future generations and how much contribution you have made to protecting the universe (for example, exploring the understanding of truth is the premise of protecting the universe, and everyone can do it). So how do we accomplish our mission? In fact, as long as we are alive, we have completed our mission, but the size of the mission is different. ● Why? Because as long as we are alive, then we are creating things with the whole human or biological world, directly or indirectly protecting the universe (after all, if you are the only one left in this world, you can't even be a beggar, let alone have so many products to consume; And even if you don't directly protect the universe, it's because of your division of labor that there are people who specialize in defending the universe. Therefore, you can regard others as "doppelgangers" with different physiological characteristics that you grew up in different environments, so as to better protect and expand the universe (create things); It's just that if you want the "other self" to do things for you, you must cooperate through specific channels such as "money" and "emotion" (but talking is better than nothing). So how can we better accomplish our "mission"? ● First of all, our own feelings such as "sense of mission", "sense of greatness" and "sense of sacredness" will serve as "the deepest pleasure" to guide us to accomplish our mission better. We can often watch related movies and TV programs, especially science fiction movies, to strengthen these emotions and let them automatically guide us in the right direction. Secondly, since we know that the purpose of "emotion" is to better guide the existence of "universe" and "self"; Then we might as well take the initiative to do something that can produce "more", "longer" and "deeper" pleasure in life, so as to better accomplish our mission. ● For example: exploring, researching, discovering, manufacturing, inventing, doing business properly, doing serious work (doing a good job in products and division of labor), carrying out public welfare activities, environmental protection, eliminating vicious inequality, eliminating war, eliminating economic crisis, making everyone's work valuable, and even preventing the universe from dying; So that your mind can live in heaven. ● Our "specific mission and meaning of life" are of course different and are defined and endowed by ourselves. But they all belong to the same category, that is, "creating things" (developing nature) and "protecting the universe" (guiding existence and guiding existence), which are objective and unchangeable; Do you think that everything we do from birth to death is not "creating things" And we want to "exist", isn't it to ensure the existence of the "universe"? ● Some people do it for "environmental protection", some for "country", some for "parents" and some for themselves; In an emergency, people always have different choices, but perhaps in a more urgent moment, everyone has only one choice, that is, when what they do is directly related to the survival of the universe or the world! Because no matter what they care about, they must first ensure the existence of the universe or the world. Everyone's ability and time are limited. Maybe you can't directly "protect the universe" or make great contributions to mankind, but because of your division of labor, there are professionals who defend the universe and make greater contributions. So we try to do things that are more beneficial to society, human beings and the universe, but if we really can't achieve our goals, even if we live a dull life, we have no regrets. After all, "as long as we are alive, we have completed our mission, but the size of our mission is different." ● Summative simplification: In order to better accomplish our mission and make life more meaningful, we just need to work hard to get more, longer and deeper fun in life. (Note: Fun is our default boot system. If we want to have more, longer and deeper fun in life, we will definitely go to: exploration, research, discovery, manufacturing, invention, proper management, serious work (good products and good division of labor), public welfare activities, environmental protection, and even: eliminate vicious inequality, eliminate war, eliminate economic crisis, and let everyone do it. So that your mind can live in heaven. ) ● From Complete Civilization. Paradise Project ",a plan worthy of anyone's life-Paradise Project.
