The tour continues to extend in pleasure. That day, when I went to the Confucius Temple, Wang Xile said that the Confucius Temple was very beautiful, and it was written in many books and I said that it might be very bad.

"Dad, have you been to the Confucius Temple?"

"Nope. ”

"Haven't been there, how do you say it's probably bad?"

"Because in 2000, the state had a 100 billion yuan 'zero-point sewage discharge plan' to deal with the water pollution problem of the Qinhuai River, but it failed. The water in the Confucius Temple is the water of the Qinhuai River, and I estimate that it has become more polluted over the years. ”

Wang Xile stopped talking. As soon as we entered the small square of the Confucius Temple, we smelled the smell of water. Wang Xile quickly ran to the side of the Vermilion Bird Bridge, turned around and shouted, "Dad, look at how beautiful those two dragons are." ”

My wife and I were about to hurry over, but Wang Xile turned around and said, "Dad, don't go over, it stinks." ”

We walked to the edge of the bridge and looked down, and the water under the bridge was black and smelled bad. "It seems that the beauty of the Suzaku Bridge can only be left in the textbook," I said as we came to Wuyi Lane, "It seems that there is a poem that says that this is the subject." ”

"It's too familiar, it's Liu Yuxi's poem," the son said, "the weeds and flowers by the Vermilion Bird Bridge, the sunset at the mouth of Wuyi Alley." In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. ”

"Joy, it can be seen from the poem that the area of Wuyi Lane and Zhuque Bridge was not only beautiful but also prosperous. Unfortunately, many Chinese study for the sake of fame and fortune, once they can't reach it, they have infinite feelings about life, and some people even look for flowers and ask Liu to borrow wine to eliminate their worries, do you say these people are right?"

"Dad, you're not right. ”

"Why?"

"That's not what our teachers say. ”

"Your teacher wouldn't say that. Your teacher will definitely talk about who the author is, the background at that time, what kind of good words and sentences are, what kind of central idea to grasp, etc. ”

"Dad, how do you know that you are not in our class?"

"Daddy went to school, too!," I said, "Joy, learning is not about remembering anything, but about discovering and correcting the mistakes of the present from the things of the past, constantly adapting to the needs of the new life, learning is useless without this subject." ”

"It's useless, it's useless to learn. The son cooed.

When we came to the Confucius Temple, like many tourists, we led our children to bow down to Confucius. "Joy, why are we prostrating here?" I said.

"Others say that there is aura here, and it will be good to learn after worshipping. The son was puzzled and said,

"What's the use of studying well. Is Confucius good at studying?!" I say.

"Good. Exceptional. The son affirmed.

"Confucius studied so well and learned so deeply, why didn't he make Lu strong. ”

"I don't know. The teacher didn't talk about it again. ”

"The doctrine of Confucius was passed down by the mouth of his disciples, and he traveled around the world to promote his doctrine through imperial power, and finally died of poverty, which shows that learning knowledge well is one ability, and doing things well is another ability entirely. Confucius's pure study life has developed himself to a situation where 'the water is clear and there are no fish', and the fragility of solving the contradictions in life is the most sad thing about learning. ”

Looking at groups of children who continue to bow down to Confucius and pray for their smooth sailing in the college entrance examination, do they know that in the future, the three forces of globalization, population expansion, and ecological outlook are pushing the world to a new and unknown realm with the help of the epoch-making new tool of the computer? At a time when China, as an independent Eastern civilization, is being severely challenged by Western culture, and some traditional cultures are showing signs of collapse, China's reform will be more complex than at any time in human development. In the era of fierce coexistence of glory and frustration, only on the basis of loyalty to the national culture, constantly enrich new knowledge, people will have cultural self-confidence, people will keep up with the pace of the times, and the nation will be evergreen.
