Shi Shuo Xin Yu 1 Comment
Seeing the title of Shi Shuo Xin Yu, I inexplicably felt "tall" and even thought it was a modern book. But this is not the case. It is said that Shi Shuo Xin Yu was compiled in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and is a book containing historical stories.
When I finally got this book, I flipped through it, but I made a "major discovery"-huh? Isn't this book a story? Why are they all in classical Chinese! I was not interested in classical Chinese, so I put it down because I found it boring. But when I look back, I am deeply attracted by it.
It turns out that Shi Shuo Xin Yu is divided into 36 chapters, each of which describes an idea or behavior and contains a certain number of historical stories. At the bottom of every story, there are notes and translations. Now I can read.
So, what did Shi Shuo Xin Yu say? There are many well-known anecdotes about celebrities, such as Ning Guan's departure, Guangling's departure and so on. And there are many stories I haven't heard. Read it through, and it's really rewarding.
After reading this excellent book, there is no one before, no one after, maybe no one after the meeting, and my heart is filled with emotion.
First of all, this book is very well compiled. It condenses history into short and pithy stories, which makes people read like a story book instead of a monotonous historical record. And it divides many stories into 36 chapters, which makes it easy for people to look up and see at a glance.
Secondly, it spreads the truth through stories. Looking at the vivid characters, you will understand who is the role model for learning and who is the "negative textbook".
Finally, this book made me gain a lot of knowledge, not only let me know about history, but also let me learn ancient Chinese. After reading more ancient prose, you will gradually discover some rules, and then understand the norms and rhythms of ancient prose. I know what words in ancient Chinese stand for. Who doesn't like such a good book?
Shi Shuo Xin Yu opened his eyes. I didn't expect that history can touch the spark of knowledge when it meets ancient prose. I sincerely hope that everyone can read this good book together and feel the long history of Chinese civilization!
Reflections on Shi Shuo Xin Yu II
Liu Yong's Shi Shuo Xin Yu should have been published long ago. Sorry, I just read this book last week.
Today, I opened the book again and saw a sentence changed by Teacher Liu: "He who has no immediate worries will have long-term worries." If we don't solve the immediate problem, it's really terrible. If we don't solve the immediate problem from a long-term perspective, that is, "he who has no long-term worries will have near worries."
Interesting. At the same time, Teacher Liu recommended two other words of Confucius: "A gentleman is unfortunate, but a villain is fortunate." "A gentleman lives well, but a villain is willing to take risks."
Any success is not unintentional, and hard work is fundamental.
The mountaineering leader recommended by Teacher Liu is also worth cherishing: "I am already familiar with the road and then make plans; If the road is unfamiliar, take a step back. " Classical risk cybernetics.
Reading is the last word! I'm afraid I can't do a few things by my own practical principles or the results of my actions. By the way, record the sentences you read
Poincare said: the initial motivation for scientists to study nature comes from the beauty of nature itself.
Dirac said: I don't think philosophy will ever lead to major discoveries. It's just a way for people to talk about what they have found.
Dirac wrote an inscription on the blackboard of Moscow University: Any physical law must have mathematical beauty.
In the process of reading and listening to teacher Luo's explanation of Ming Jiao and nature, I noticed a pivotal figure in Wei and Jin Dynasties-Wang Bi. So I consulted some materials and learned some information about Wang Bi. The following are my feelings.
In Teacher Luo's Intensive Reading, it is mentioned that the famous religion originated from Confucius' rectification of name, and that "Jun Jun, minister, father and son" is the concept and existence that Teacher Luo talked about, and the facts are standardized with ideas; Taoism, on the other hand, believes that "Tao can be Tao, but it is extraordinary;" The name can be named. It's very famous. "Wang Bi combines the two from a philosophical point of view, and thinks that Mingjiao originates from nature. Personally, I think this not only reflects his thoughts as the founder of metaphysics, but also reflects the thoughts of scholars in Wei and Jin dynasties at that time, which played a vital role in the development of ideology and culture.
Peace is the official history, there is hope; Sit down when talking about guests. King porridge is not weak, go and have a look. Yan Wen heard the name of porridge. Because of the article, he won the argument against porridge and said, "I think this argument is extremely difficult. Can I get it back?" Porridge is difficult. When you sit down, you think you are bent. So porridge has been visited several times, and you can't sit down (Shi Shuo Xin Yu Literature). Wang Bi's eloquence was outstanding, and everyone was exhausted by the argument. He also listed his own views and continued to prove them. Wang Bi was the most outstanding talker and philosopher at that time. It can be seen that the style of writing was still very prosperous at that time, and the speech was quite popular. Scholars advocated such an atmosphere.
In the process of promoting metaphysics, Wang Bi put forward the hierarchical relationship in the family system, and the blood relationship in the family system, that is, respect in love and differences in similarity, formed a harmonious society as a whole, reflecting the value orientation of the family system that was generally pursued at that time. It can be seen that people's ideas in Wei and Jin Dynasties were influenced by metaphysics. Moreover, in the process of metaphysics and clear talk, it not only reflected the harmonious unity of religion and nature in Ming Dynasty, but also coordinated the culture of Confucianism and Taoism and promoted the ideological integration of people at that time.
Thus, the voice of the beginning of metaphysics founded by Wang Bi and others began the era of talk in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Since then, critics have focused on harmony and justice, that is, not only people's words, but also their understanding of justice. Wang Bi and others are regarded as models by later celebrities. Wei Jin people's admiration for Zhengshi Tan Feng can be seen.
Reflections on Shi Shuo Xin Yu 3
I once read a sentence by Wolfinger in a book: Great genius is more unusual than great success. After thinking for a moment, I suddenly remembered that there was such a story in the birthday article of Shi Shuo Xin Yu, and I couldn't help but smile when I picked up the book again and savored it.
This story tells the story that Yin Xiancheng, an official of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was the magistrate of Zhang Yu. Before he left, many people asked him to bring letters that he longed for. When he arrived in Stone City, Xian threw all the letters into the river and said, "What sinks will sink, and what floats will float. Yin Hongqiao can't send books and emails. "
After reading this little story, I said to him, "Those who sink sink, those who float." It wasn't until I read this sentence in other books that I realized that sages don't admire this social fashion of "not taking the right path, but coveting the right path". They think that although they have won the official position, it is called "success", and it is better to rely on their own words and deeds to achieve their own success. Therefore, the deeper meaning of "those who sink, those who float" is that useless talents will never be appreciated, and talents with both ability and political integrity will be reused.
The same is true in real life. More and more people give up the road of light and justice, go astray and go into darkness in order to covet small profits for a while. This may bring some benefits, but it is not a long-term solution after all, not to mention it is a symbol of moral corruption and a bad code of conduct. Instead of taking this deviant road, it is better to concentrate on doing good and do everything in a down-to-earth manner. Although it will pay more than the former, it is an opportunity to exercise and show yourself, which will make success more real and make you more proud and happy. Why not give it a try? Cultivating this habit from an early age is of great help to the later development process, various aspirations or mentality when encountering setbacks. In order to be appreciated and successful, the only and necessary way is to study. Learning needs the tenacious perseverance and diligent attitude of "grinding the iron pestle into a needle". As Tong Dizhou said, "Genius is bought with labor." When we really do this, we will become real floaters.
Don't blindly envy others and do nothing for yourself, not to mention abandoning the light for profit, which will only sink deeper and deeper like a swamp. Only by being an eagle fighting the sky can the snail at the top of the pyramid have its own tomorrow.
Reflections on Shi Shuo Xin Yu 4
Shi Shuo Xin Yu, to some extent, reflects the development of character comments in the late Han Dynasty. Many of its stories are based on books such as biographies of Yu Lin, Guo Zi and celebrities in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Reading Shi Shuo Xin Yu can help us understand the content and form of anecdote notes in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. It can also be said that it collected romantic stories in Wei and Jin dynasties, thus playing the role of celebrity textbooks. According to Feng Youlan, romance is a kind of personality beauty. Of course, this kind of personality beauty is measured by the standards of the gentry at that time.
Shi Shuo Xin Yu is an excellent historical material to study the romantic life in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Among them, there are vivid descriptions about the activities of celebrities in Wei and Jin Dynasties, such as talking beautifully, commenting on topics, and various personality characteristics, such as origin, simplicity and arrogance, pursuit of individuality and hobbies. Throughout the book, we can get the group image of several generations of scholars in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Through these characters, we can further understand the fashion of the upper class in that era. For example, in Virtue, when hoeing vegetables in the gardens of Guan Ning and Huaxin, there was a piece of gold in the field, and the hoe was no different from the tile stone, but it was just grabbed and thrown. I have also tasted the taste of reading at the same table. Those who pass by the entrance of the porch would rather study as before and read those useless books. Ning cut the mat and sat down separately, saying, "I'm not my friend." By comparing with Hua Xin, he praised Guan Ning's indifferent fame and fortune. Therefore, it can be seen that whether a person has superb virtue is not caused in a day or two, but virtue is cultivated over time. There are many stories about virtue, such as emotion. People with bad morals tend to focus on personal feelings. Everyone is fine when they are in a good mood, and everyone will suffer when they are in a bad mood. In ancient times, there was a person who was happy or sad, and that person was Ji Kang. Wang Rong said that I have been with Ji Kang for 20 years, and I have never seen his happy or angry expression. People usually get a bad thing, or encounter something harmful to themselves, but some people get it, or encounter it without escaping. And bad luck is not affected by this kind of thing at all. Among these bright mounts, there is a fierce horse named Lu. Someone advised him to send someone to get it and sell it. Liang replied: "If you sell it, someone will buy it, which will harm others and harm yourself." Where can I transfer something harmful to myself to others? Once upon a time, Sun Shuai killed two snakes because he didn't let future generations see him. Since then, he has become a story that the ancients are willing to tell. Is it unreasonable for me to follow his example? "
Shi Shuo Xin Yu has a high artistic achievement in art, and Mr. Lu Xun once summarized its artistic characteristics as "profound and cold words, lofty, simple and magnificent lines". There are more than 1500 characters involved in Shi Shuo Xin Yu, including the main characters in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Some of its descriptions of characters focus on appearance, while others focus on learning. It writes unique characters through unique manners, making them vivid, vivid and vivid. For example, "Wang Rong has a good plum, and the seller is afraid that the family can get the seeds and keep drilling." It only takes 16 to write Wang Rong's greedy and stingy nature.
Interviewed from another side, Shi Shuo Xin Yu also reflected the social reality at that time. Because people in Wei and Jin dynasties paid more attention to appearance and rhetoric than in the end of Han dynasty, a senior bureaucrat often judged a person's quality according to a few sentences and a certain detail, or quoted him as an official accordingly. For example, Generosity records that Wang is Huan Wen's main book, and Huan Wen wants to promote him. On one occasion, I suddenly rode a horse on purpose and said, "The left and right are servants, and you don't move, so the name is heavy, and Xianyun is a public auxiliary device." This method of testing people is strange, and the conclusion of "public auxiliary device" is especially absurd. In the chapter "Literature", Wang Yan asked Ruan Xiu: "Are Laozi and the Holy Religion the same or different?" Ruan replied, "It won't make any difference." Wang Yan appreciates these three "differences", that is, asking Ruan to be a rafter. This is the story of the famous "Trilingual Rafter". These two examples fully prove that in that era, tolerance and restraint were respected and the atmosphere of speech was prosperous.
On the basis of nothingness and world-weariness, the literati in Wei and Jin Dynasties are all negative, decadent, or eccentric and dissolute, and always show the feelings of impermanence of life and death. It has also become a fashion to sigh for the old and hurt the body, to drown their sorrows by drinking and to take medicine for health preservation. Shi Shuo Xin Yu wrote these contents in many ways. "Ren Birthday" article said that Hans Zhang: "It is better to have a glass of wine in time to make me famous"; Huan Wen saw the weeping willow trees that grew up in the old society, and lamented that "how can people get down without it", which was enough to reflect the decline of literati and the gray outlook on life at that time. In addition, Shi Shuo Xin Yu also describes the fine qualities of some people, such as Jubo Xun's emphasis on righteousness over profit, giving his life to save his friends, caring for the people and being brave in repentance. It's all meaningful stories. The cruelty, ugliness and luxury of the ruling class in Wei and Jin Dynasties are also described in detail. These contents can be used as a reference for studying history.
Shi Shuo Xin Yu is a very representative ancient cultural thought of China, so students must study hard and practice writing after reading Shi Shuo Xin Yu.
Reflections on Shi Shuo Xin Yu 5
Shi Shuo Xin Yu is a local novel edited by Liu Yiqing in the Southern Dynasties, which is divided into 36 novels, including De, Yan and Zheng. Among them, I think the most philosophical one is the Speech, which records the conversation of Jin people. The words used in that speech were eloquent, not many words, but they could tell a thought-provoking truth.
The book tells such a story. The stuttering Wargo often repeats "Ai, Ai ……" when claiming to be himself, so it is inevitable to be teased. Once, Emperor Wen of Jin joked with him and said, "You always say ... Ai, ... Ai, how many AIs are they?" Wargo was neither angry nor embarrassed, and replied, "Feng Xi Feng Xi was originally just a phoenix." He used Lu Tong of Chu State as a metaphor for Confucius' famous words to show that although he often said "sorrow, sorrow" over and over again, there was only one "sorrow" like Confucius.
There is also a short story about Gu Yue and Jian Wendi. Gu Yue is the same age as Jian Wendi, but Gu Yue's hair has turned white. Jian Wendi asked him, "Why did your hair turn white in front of me?" Gu Yue replied: "Liu Pu's qualification is near autumn, and the qualification of pine and cypress is glorious after autumn frost." Use a vivid metaphor to illustrate that different qualifications of people lead to many differences in life.
Another story is about Yuan Gong who lives in Lushan Mountain. Although he is old, he still keeps telling his disciples Buddhist scriptures. He often warned his disciples: "I am like the afterglow of the sunset at dusk, so naturally I won't shine for long." I only hope that you will get brighter and brighter like the morning sunshine! " With eager words and demeanor, he impressed the truth of "an inch of time and an inch of gold" and the spirit of "never too old to learn" on his disciples' hearts. ……
Although Wargo stuttered, it did not prevent him from expressing his wisdom and philosophy: everyone has only one, and he should give full play to his talents, be a phoenix and a dragon. A joke and a ridicule by Emperor Wen of Jin led to Gu Yue's philosophical answer: Different qualifications should lead to different wonderful lives. Yuangong compares himself with the light of Sang Yu, and compares young disciples with the light of the rising sun, warning us never to relax in our study. ...
The ancients were good at using metaphors, and they were able to tell profound truth thoroughly and properly in humorous language. Can tell ordinary things that people are familiar with extraordinary and interesting. This language skill is worth learning.
Hu Yinglin, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, commented on Shi Shuo Xin Yu: "Reading its language, Jin people's faces are charming and vivid, but they are simple and mysterious. It is inexhaustible and is also a swan song in ancient and modern times." Since it is a swan song, it must have the charm of his swan song. Reading these 36 theories carefully and repeatedly will certainly benefit us a lot.
