Xun said: the most important thing in reading is understanding. If the reason is clear, the center has a master, not a non-evil self-judgment. In case of difficulties, go straight, you will gain and lose. The Book says: It is beneficial to learn ancient teachings. Every sage's scriptures, every sentence and every thing are reasonable, and it is cheap to pay attention to experience when reading. This can be a way for me or a warning for me. After a long time, things come and go, and they respond with feelings without thinking.
The truth contained in ancient books is definite and limited, while the world is ever-changing and its end is endless. Scholars who have suffered a lot often encounter difficulties, while those who have experienced many accidents have no fixed views on anything. This is a biased view. When I say reading, I need to know the world events; When it comes to things, we should judge according to the book. This is the way to avoid the disadvantages of both.

Reading should be based on understanding the truth. When the truth is clear, you will have a decision in your heart, and you can judge right or wrong by yourself. There is nothing to be ashamed of when you meet something you don't understand, as long as you follow the truth. "Book" says: You will gain something by learning the admonition of Zhan Dai. The classic works of sages all have the most profound truth in one sentence and one thing. When reading, you should understand with your heart, so that it can become my standard, so that it can become my warning. After a long time, it will be integrated. If something happens, you can deal with it according to your own feelings without thinking.
There is only so much truth recorded in ancient books, but things in the world are changeable and endless. So people who study hard in the world often stick to things and don't know how to be flexible. People who have experienced many things are often tactful and have no clear opinions. Both are one-sided. I feel that when I study, I must go through a lot of affairs to manage the world. When I deal with things, I must study that thing repeatedly according to book knowledge. Only in this way can we avoid the disadvantages of both.
Brief biography
Kangxi (1654- 1722), Aisingiorro Michelle Ye, the fourth emperor of the Qing Dynasty, was the second emperor after the capital was Beijing. He ascended the throne at the age of 8, ruled at the age of 14, and reigned for 6 1 year. He is the longest-serving emperor in the history of Zhongwei. He is a defender of China's unified multi-ethnic country.
It laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Qing dynasty, created a good situation of kanggan prosperity, and laid the rule of the Qing dynasty for more than 200 years.
Rigorous scholarship, self-cultivation, mastery of skills, cultivation of moral character, reading history and dedication to health. Emperor Kangxi's idea of godson embodies the wisdom of a generation of military workers. Most of the children and grandchildren behind Kangxi are literate and martial, especially the two outstanding emperors after him: Yong Zhengdi, who is diligent in political affairs and has great strategies; Emperor Qianlong, both civil and military.
Kangxi actively let the prince learn all kinds of skills and knowledge, including Manchu, Chinese, Mongolian, classics and history, as well as military and physical education subjects such as horseback riding, shooting and swimming. Kangxi also inspected all the activities of the princes, learned about their study, reviewed their articles, and asked them to explain their lessons face to face. He doesn't want princes to be spoiled; On the contrary, he hopes that they can bear hardships and stand hard work, get strong as soon as possible and get used to a simple life. No one around the princes dared to hide even a tiny mistake. Because they know that if they do this, they will be severely punished. Yin Zhi is a cultural figure among the philosophers of Kangxi. Kangxi put him in charge of compiling books on law and algorithm, and opened a library in Mengyangzhai, Changchun Garden. The Origin of Laws and the Integration of Ancient and Modern Books became famous.
Royal Family Instructions: The Vernacular Motto of Emperor Kangxi's Family Instructions
Family Instructions of the Emperor: Courtyard Instructions of Emperor Kangxi's son, written in the vernacular, Michelle Ye's Courtyard Instructions.
1. Do everything with sincerity, there is no retreat.
The instructions say: do everything sincerely, don't pursue false reputation. Since I acceded to the throne as a child, I have always been sincere and serious in my heart when I went to the ancestral temple to worship Buddha. Even when dealing with state affairs, we are sincere to all ministers and do not engage in hypocrisy. Therefore, I am sincere in dealing with anything, without any hypocrisy.
Emperor Kangxi was at the center of the political storm, and he reigned for 6 1 year. I really didn't expect that he regarded honesty and trustworthiness as an important task of self-cultivation. The world equates officialdom with the battlefield, during which various means such as blindness, fraud and frame-up are concentrated. In fact, even if those hypocritical tricks may succeed in a short time, they will eventually become ugly tricks in the face of supreme integrity and keen eyes, which will only bring eternal shame. Only when the leaders are sincere, the subordinates will feel amiable and credible, and will confide in them and work hard for them. Honesty is a banner with infinite appeal, which brings people together. Honesty itself is great wisdom from a strategic height.
2. If you cover up your worship with intention, your body and mind will focus on Zhan Ran.
The instructions say: We should not ignore anything in the world, even the smallest and easiest things should be treated with caution. When things haven't happened, we start to be cautious, and when things happen, we can handle them more cautiously. We must adhere to the spirit of caution and make things as serious as they were at the beginning until the end. Keep practicing the spirit of prudence, keep practicing for a long time, and let this spirit settle down in your life, so that nothing will be abandoned or difficult to do in your own hands. Generally speaking, keeping a steady spirit in your heart can make your body and mind clear in the middle, just like having a master at home can naturally handle housework. This is what the ancients said: treating each other with sincerity is respect. The Book of Rites begins with a disrespectful famous saying, and the profound truth of the sage needs only one sentence to be complete.
Respect is an important principle of self-cultivation in China traditional culture. I don't mean to maintain a blind and respectful image at all times, but to cultivate a serious and prudent attitude. Once this mentality is externalized into personal temperament and style, it will produce an excellent ability to do things. Under a pair of dedicated and serious eyes, the complexity and difficulty of anything is easy.
Although the employer should trust him, it should not trust him.
The instructions say: As bosses, although we should trust them, we can't trust them easily and quickly. Subordinates often look at the boss's wishes and vote for their own interests skillfully.
If the boss is partial to a hobby, his subordinates will seduce him by doing what he likes. I know all kinds of fun skills. Have you ever seen me prefer some kind of fun? Because of this, all fun skills can't make me addicted.
Picking up the wine of power, the most rare thing is to be awake. This sobriety comes from the awareness of all kinds of unfair courtship and competition means adopted by subordinates. In order to adhere to the principle and safeguard justice, the boss must first remove the bridge that allows improper means to cross in his hobby. In the face of all art can not drown my Kangxi, all opportunistic can only rest assured.
4. The benevolent takes all things as one.
The instructions say: the benevolent regards everything in the world as one, and is merciful wherever he goes. Give full play to this love, and all people and things in the world will be covered by it. Express this kind of mood, and goodwill and goodwill will come out accordingly. Do something beneficial to people; Give up things that are not good for people. No matter how big or small things are, love is endless; Release my heart and strength to the fullest, so that the whole world can get my favor one by one.
Any heart full of love is a vast ocean, which has the sacred power to immerse itself in heaven and earth. Although not every spray can reach every corner of the world, as long as there is breath, it will continue to rise and bravely and firmly drive and inspire this vast ocean of love. This is an emperor's heart, an emperor's heart with Manchu descent cast by the traditional culture of the Central Plains. From here, we can also see the evolution process and great significance of the expansion of Central Plains culture to Chinese culture.
5. Let it go.
The instructions say: Who can be a man without making mistakes? But some people make mistakes, and most people don't bear it. This is not the case with me. When I mistakenly blame others for my occasional forgetfulness in small talk, I will take the initiative to take responsibility and say: This is my fault. Only in this way can people understand it and even be moved by it, and some people even feel uneasy about it. Most people who can take the initiative to bear their own mistakes live in the noble majority.
If you make a mistake but don't want to admit it, you mistakenly think that admitting it means losing your dignity. Refusing to admit one's mistake for the sake of dignity not only hurts the atmosphere of being honest with colleagues, but also exposes that one's narrow mind can't stand the wind and waves and turns dignity into loneliness and stubbornness. Taking the initiative to assume the wrong leadership can not only move everyone but also regain their dignity, and also help to create a working atmosphere of frank coexistence and pursuit of truth. Refusing to admit mistakes is equal to persisting in mistakes, and persisting in mistakes is equal to self-destruction.
Admitting mistakes is correcting them. Only those who can correct their mistakes in time can constantly gain benefits and strive for self-improvement.
6. People are very clean on weekdays. Then they are clean.
The instructions say: Keep clean at home or out. As long as people pay attention to keep clean on weekdays, a kind of Qingming gas will attach to themselves. If you get close to filthy things, you will be polluted by turbid gas, and the Qingming gas will gradually be covered by turbid gas.
Man is the soul of all things, so he should look fresh, noble and elegant. Clear gas is the gas of noble wisdom, while turbid gas is the gas of dirty stupidity. Clear air is an ethereal thing. Only by keeping clean living habits can it come quietly. Kangxi obviously asked future generations to pay attention to cultivating and upgrading their spiritual temperament in their daily lives.
7. contentment is always a pleasure.
The instructions say, "Lao Zi" says that people who know how to be content will be rich. He also said: ~ If you hide enough, you won't be ashamed. If you know enough, you will not encounter danger and you will be able to maintain a long road. Clothes are only used to protect the body, but there are still people in the world who are dissatisfied with wearing leather clothes worth thousands of dollars. I don't know that some people are just as comfortable in simple clothes. Food only fills the hunger, but some people are still not satisfied with collecting and storing food with huge amounts of money. I don't know that some people are still happy even if they eat meager food.
I thought about this and consciously grasped the satisfaction for a long time. Although you are the son of heaven, dressing only needs fitness; Although the world is rich, daily meals never need a variety of dishes. It's not that I don't want to do it, but I do it naturally according to my nature. Seeing me like this, you should encourage each other with thrift.
Once a person falls into the whirlpool of pursuing luxury, his desire will be pushed to an increasing road of no return by the world of flowers, and this road will only leave a vain ending and regret. Before embarking on this road, a wise man can stop thinking for three times, because he can penetrate the extravagant splendor and see the essence of life enjoyment: clothes don't cover his body, food doesn't fill his intestines; I would rather choose to rationally control and extend the happiness brought by creation on the spiritual level.
8. If you want to go on a legal journey, you must be the first one.
The instructions said: If a person like me who is above others wants to enforce the law, only by setting an example can people naturally abide by it. Even a trivial matter like smoking is not a big deal, but most fires happen because of this, so I have always banned it. But not that I can't smoke. When I was a child, I liked smoking at my foster mother's house. Now I want to ban others from smoking, but I can't help it. What can I do to convince people? So I never smoked again.
When formulating and implementing laws and regulations, only by making up your mind and starting from me like Kangxi quit smoking can we make the laws and regulations aboveboard. If you ask your subordinates to be honest and refuse corruption at the conference, but take bribes crazily in private, even if there are more and more strict legal provisions to punish corruption, it will only become a dead letter, and you will be ridiculed by yourself first. If this phenomenon is not corrected for a long time, it will become a black hole that can dissolve and devour all disciplines. The law is as big as the sky, without exception, to show the strength and dignity of the law.
9. Work hard and learn from it.
The instructions say: the world generally likes ease and hates hard work. In my opinion, people can only understand comfort if they persist in working hard first. If you are only content with ease, you can't stand it once you encounter hardship. Therefore, the Book of Changes says: Heaven is healthy, and gentlemen are constantly striving for self-improvement. From this point of view, saints take hard work as a blessing and ease as a curse.
Being pampered for a long time and working occasionally is panting; After sweating like a pig, take a break once in a while and enjoy the breeze best. Kangxi thinks that he has been working hard and knows how to relax. It is indeed a famous saying. Only through hard work can we create and enjoy comfortable happiness. Diligence is an important pillar of life, and prosperity and adversity depend on it.
10. Think about right and wrong. Just for a moment.
The instructions say: people form ideas as long as their thoughts move, and whether this idea is right or not is instantly formed. If this idea is incorrect, you will know it in an instant, and correct it immediately, which will naturally make it not too far from the road. The history book says: a saint will become a dissolute if he thinks incorrectly, and a dissolute will become a saint if he thinks correctly. The generation of an idea is very subtle. Keep it in your body when you are quiet. When you act, you should check it carefully. This is a real effort to make it cast without guilt. Because of this, the ancient sages gave priority to defensive thinking from the beginning, and things had not yet begun to happen, so their strength was very small and their effect was great.
This is the righteous work advocated by the ancients. People should learn to self-examine the ideas formed in their hearts and put them on the stage of heaven and earth to judge their advantages and disadvantages. Keep correct and beneficial thoughts and discard wrong and harmful thoughts. As long as you can introspect the bud in your heart and give it up properly, you can win it before victory happens.
1 1. Ordinary people have a special mentality, which is the way to keep fit.
The instructions say: If people can concentrate on an art or a skill, they will not be attached to foreign objects all the time, which is very beneficial to health. I know the legacy of the Ming Dynasty, and I also know that those who were good at calligraphy among my predecessors lived long and were in good health. There are also Han people who are good at painting. His skillful skills are more outstanding than others, and he can live to be seventy or eighty years old. He has a strong body, paints as usual, and shows no signs of old age. It can be seen that anyone who has a single-minded orientation is the way to keep fit.
Kangxi once said in his last article that all arts can't drown me, but here he advocates focusing on one art and one skill. Is it not contradictory? The art of the first part refers to inviting friends to indulge in pleasure, and the art here refers to specializing in an elegant art. The art of the first part is easy to corrupt those in power and affect the fairness of decision-making. The art behind it makes people concentrate on being alone and edify their body and mind. If you don't use a skill to gather strength in your life, you will always be attached to foreign things and you will be in a panic. You can only chase friends everywhere, and you will lose your heart if you keep eating, drinking and having fun with others. In the end, you will not only get nothing, but even bring back a cavity of jealousy. Once I leave the crowd, I feel bored, inseparable, and even afraid to face my extremely empty self. It is better to concentrate on a skill, which can not only improve the skill, but also adjust the mentality and strengthen the body.
1 2. Trade something for it. You must choose what you need.
The instructions say: it is inevitable that something will happen when people receive and send gifts.
When you meet other people's birthdays or other festive events, of course, you should give some gifts, but you can do your best by choosing what others need, is useful or likes on weekdays. No, just because someone gave me something, I returned it to him, which is equivalent to just exchanging the name of the gift. People should pay attention to these things.
Kangxi gave gifts to people, emphasizing the principle of what people need or do on weekdays. The purpose is to express their wishes by giving gifts. His sincerity and sincerity to relatives and friends make a small gift light up the friendship between people. In today's society, reciprocity is more frequent and complicated. Those fake cigarettes and wines that have been successful in the gift market have to be said to be a long-term display and humiliation to the people of the world.
1 3. Reading too much will make you addicted to light.
The instructions say: to improve morality and achieve success in life, we must start with reading. Read more books, and people's hobbies and greed will fade; When hobbies and greed fade, all expenses will be frugal; If the cost is frugal, people's various gains and greed will be reduced; If greed and greed are reduced, the quality people build will tend to be noble.
The reason why reading too many books makes people addicted to it is that reading itself occupies the time and space of addiction; More importantly, reading is a dialogue with experts, and the truth in the book can dilute the realistic atmosphere that people are most likely to crave. If we can't transcend and be independent of this kind of atmosphere, life will certainly not be oppressed by the endless atmosphere around us. Therefore, Kangxi said: the less business you need, the higher quality you have.
1 4. Stick to your ambition. Don't be angry.
The instructions say: Mencius said: Keep your ambition and don't be impatient. If people want to improve their self-cultivation, it is difficult to go beyond these two sentences. Why? If you really have no sense of urgency, then your mood is naturally peaceful; If you can always keep your ambition unchanged, your mind will not be shaken and changed by the outside world, and you will naturally be stable. What is more important than the way to keep fit?
Ambition unifies and determines the main direction of life value, which can lead people into an ideal life realm beyond the status quo. The road to ambition is tortuous; The violent and impatient mentality is too short and simple on this special road to withstand all kinds of complicated road conditions. Only a peaceful mind can produce enough wisdom and endurance, and all kinds of puzzles on this road can be solved one by one. With ambition, there will be a stable life layout realm; This kind of stability is a kind of persistence and firmness that is not tempted by disorderly flowers and eyes and is not intimidated by danger. With the guidance of ambition and the corresponding heart and strength, such a life must be truly confident, fulfilling and developing.
Self-cultivation, with pure heart as the key.
Calm sentence: cultivate one's morality, keep a pure heart as the first step, and be cautious first.
Pick up some reading 20xx-02-27 10:46 1, cultivate one's morality and cultivate one's mind. Be careful about the world.
2. If you don't know enough, you will worry more; Weakness leads to anger; If you don't believe enough, just say more.
3. Things avoid victory, things avoid beauty, and people avoid prosperity.
Make friends with the word "light", stop using the word "deaf" to slander and use the word "carved" to blame yourself.
5. I don't know what a gentleman is, but I am willing to suffer anything; I don't know what a villain is, but everything is easy to use.
6. Don't bully yourself inside, and don't bully others outside.
7. It's better to be able to argue than to tolerate slander. I'm insulted, too. It's better to prevent it than not to prevent it.
8. If you give up, you will not be greedy; Take pleasure in being busy, not bitter; If you get rich through hard work, you will not be poor; If you have patience, you won't be afraid.
9. Adversity depends on prosperity, and happiness depends on cultivation.
10, anger is like a double-edged sword, which will not only hurt others, but also stab yourself. Therefore, we must not let the temporary emotional venting go unchecked, leading to regret afterwards.
Cultivate one's self-cultivation, put pure heart first, be inexperienced, and be cautious and independent first.
1, wake up stronger every day than the day before, look directly at your fears and dry your tears.
2. Life is like playing a game with God. For you, you play chess, which is called choice; God plays chess, which is called a challenge.
Life is a train to the grave. There will be many stops on the way. It's hard to have someone with you from beginning to end. When the person accompanying you wants to get off the bus, even if you don't give up, you should be grateful and wave goodbye.
4. Someone passed me by, lived in my mind and drilled a hole in my heart; Some people become photos, piled up in the corner, and the dust is frozen like snow. There must always be a song that belongs to me, sing it out loud, and then look at the vast world. It is enough to be alive and happy. Ashin
You can turn back at any time, but you can't always go backwards. Bob Dylan
6. Love is that no matter how you resist, it will come. Love is that no matter how you denigrate it, it is still a noble thing.
7, be practical, don't worry, you want, the years will give you.
8. When you are unsuccessful, you cry when you talk about suffering; When you succeed, you will feel gratified and excited when you talk about suffering. When I was young, I cried when I experienced less pain. When people reach middle age, they have had many painful experiences, and when they talk, they laugh. In old age, pain no longer feels pain. In fact, the real pain can't be said, and there won't even be sobs, which have been stuck in the depths of my heart.
9. Don't let a bad moment ruin a series of good times.
10, life is too short, don't leave time for regrets. If it's not the end, please go straight ahead with a smile.
1 1 Everyone is born "original" and becomes "false" when he grows up. There are many people in this world. For various reasons, their life stories disappeared without a chance to unfold. What we need most is unusual courage to make life really blossom and bear fruit.
12, cultivate one's morality, with pure heart as the key. Be careful about the world.
13, the so-called girls should be well-fed and well-fed, perhaps not at all, but an irreducible emotion, a sound personality cultivated since childhood.
No one will make us better and better, time is just a foil. What supports us to become better and better is our own advanced talent, cultivation, conduct, and constant reflection and revision. Read more books, go out for a walk, feel more, visit other circles and constantly improve yourself.
15, if the heart has no home, it wanders around.
16, what is the most rare friend? Even after their own life experiences, accompanied by newcomers, when we meet again, we find that we are still so familiar with each other. This familiarity does not come from similar experiences, but that you have become a better person in different lives and will always be the same person. Growth is tacit understanding. There is no need to be possessive and clingy. Good feelings will only happen to a few souls who try to be independent.
17, if there is an opportunity, children must travel, and real education is on the way!
18, life can't be lived by mood, but by mentality.
19, color, just dizzy, deep will fade; Life is very simple, and it will deteriorate if it is complicated.
20, how many things, remember the heart jam, forget the heartache.
