Chapter 215: Bai San at the Banquet
"Let's not fight, Wang Jian, go down and rest, don't hurt the harmony. ”
Wang Jian was even more proud when he heard Long Yifei's intention of protection, and Long Yifei patted Xiao Zhuo in front of him and signaled.
Wang Jian sat on the side.
Bai San almost ran away, but the prime minister smiled and said: "Young man, you are young and vigorous, it's not like I haven't been to your place, in your place, you have long forgotten the tradition, forgot the ancestors, think about it, how heart-wrenching it is." ”
Wang Jian smiled and said, "Tradition?"
"That's nature. ”
"Then I would like to ask, old man, you have completely lost all the traditions of China. ”
The prime minister was taken aback, but asked, "Why do you say this?" ”
"Three thousand years ago, there was an oracle bone inscription, which was the exclusive writing of China, but why don't you know the oracle bone inscription today? ”
The prime minister didn't expect Wang Jian to say this.
There are generally two sets of things in traditional culture, one is to be revived and developed, and the other is to die out and rebuild.
There are many people who think that tradition is dross, because they don't understand how tradition is formed, but in fact, the tradition in this world is impossible because there was an old man who woke up one morning and patted his head and said, "We should do this and this." And then a bunch of people started doing it. The reason why there is a tradition in this world is because of death, disease and war. Some of the ideas that human beings have developed in order to avoid making the same mistakes and some things that have been done in a step-by-step manner.
I believe that some parts of traditional culture are formed by thinking about human society, and the other part is formed according to the socio-economic structure and productive forces. Thinking about human society is the essence of the form, which is worth preserving and advocating. According to the socio-economic structure and productivity, it needs to be updated and eliminated at any time. This principle is very simple, for example, gravity has revealed many phenomena in the world, and everything in heaven and earth has phenomena related to gravity. If we do an experiment on the earth with an iron ball and a feather on the ground, the iron ball will land before the feather, but if we do the same experiment on the moon, the iron ball will land at the same time as the feather. Why? Because the law of gravity is constant, but because the environment of the Moon and the Earth is different, the phenomena caused by gravity are different. In the words of us Chinese: The Tao is unchanging, and the ever-changing world is because of the unchanging Tao.
For example, Confucianism, as soon as it is said, many people will shout that it is dross? In fact, this is not the case, Confucianism is actually divided into two parts, one is Confucian philosophical thought, and the other part is Confucianism; Confucianism's philosophical thought is actually glorious and epoch-making, but Confucianism is to be broken and rebuilt. If we look at such things as "The University" and "The Mean", many of the ideas in them are applicable in any era, and they will not change because the social and economic structure has changed. However, because of the relationship between the social and economic structure, the ruling class also developed a set of Confucianism for the development of the small peasant economy, so that everyone could worship and pray, and formulated some laws, such as "three obedience, four virtues, five outlines and six constants", these things must be changed with the change of the agricultural economic structure. But it is important to understand that the abolition of these things is not because it is dross in itself, but because times have changed and good things have deteriorated. These things have had their positive social significance, and they are not dross as soon as they come out. China has moved from the hunting era of Ru Mao to the era of small farmers, and these things have played a great role. The reason why there is such a thing as religion in this world is because 95% of people don't think about why, most people just want to know how to do it. Not to mention uneducated people, there are many such people among today's scientists and engineers, there are always many people who don't want to understand the Tao behind it, and just want to know whether the ball and the feather hit the ground at the same time, so it is difficult for people to change their way of thinking when they are sent from the earth to the moon. In fact, if everyone is diligent in thinking, then religion does not need to exist, because if you have wisdom, you will naturally not do things that harm others and finally endanger yourself, but many people can't make sense, so many religions become violent, and if you do good deeds, you will go to heaven, and if you do bad things, you will go to hell. It's the same as a programmer, many people only know how to write such programs, do these tests, go through these processes, and are forced to do so by companies and systems, in fact, if you know the truth, many things are not so simple, but will change. But most people don't understand, anyway, they go to heaven (give bonuses) like this, and go to hell (fire squid) like that. But it's also natural, after all, the world doesn't need so many thinkers.
I don't know when people have shown two extreme attitudes towards traditional culture, those who love it take it as a pawn, and those who hate it grit their teeth. I can't help but think of that era of fanaticism and irritability: people didn't care about what things themselves represented, but used flags and slogans instead of reason and thinking, worship or smash. Of course, there is no need to take this issue very seriously, children who like Ultraman and Sheriff Black Cat can't play together, and it is people's nature to seek resonance according to their own preferences.
If you have a preference, you will subconsciously draw a circle for yourself, which will greatly erase the space for self-improvement. If you like something, don't treat it as a father, once you like it to the point where you look at it as a father, you don't allow others to say anything bad about your father, in fact, your father is not perfect. If you hate a thing, don't treat it as an enemy, once you are disgusted enough to treat it as an enemy, you will not allow others to say that your enemy is a little good, in fact, the ruler is short and long, and every thing has its own value.
The Chinese civilization has a long history of traditional culture. We have a history of humiliation when we were carved up by the Western powers, but we also have the glory of the rule of Wenjing and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. In the whole long history, our traditional culture is in the same line, and the rise and fall of victory and defeat is a common thing for a family and a country.
Traditional culture is precipitated in the long river of history, and it is one-sided and unjust for us to pull out a cultural precipitation to bear the blame for the rise and fall of history. In the past, our land was slow self-development, social, economic, cultural and political coordinated development, and a person walked, fast or slow, with his own rhythm. Suddenly, a group of bandits came, kicked first, and beat again. The rhythm was instantly disrupted, and he was stunned, and after reacting, he put forward the slogan of "Shiyi's long skills to control Yi", learn the opponent's strengths, and then beat him. Overcorrection is inevitable, and the new cultural movement that follows negates the past. Immediately afterwards, there is "backwardness will be beaten", "black cat white cat, catch the mouse is a good cat".
Why do you put forward such a slogan? There is really no way, when there is a strong enemy in front and a chasing army in the rear, only self-improvement can protect oneself. Just like today's young people, no matter how great and lofty your ideals are, and how dark you think society is, you can only adapt to society and solve the problem of survival first. On the one hand, Cang Liao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing. On the one hand, it is food and clothing.
In this era in which we live, material prosperity has increased, and we have found that our minds have begun to be green and yellow, and we do not know how to face this materialistic world. Our traditional culture has been revolutionized, our thought leaders have gradually stepped down from the altar, and Western ideas are increasingly influencing our lives. It's not a bad thing, capitalism isn't all beasts. The point is that the cultural imprint formed over thousands of years is indelible on us. In a glass of water, it was originally soaked in chrysanthemum wolfberry, mixed with some coffee milk, took a pair of knives and forks, and stirred, what do you say it tastes like? Don't care about the taste, just quench your thirst, what I'm afraid of is quenching your thirst. It is not a big problem to worship foreign countries, and at a historical stage, we saw good things in the Western world, things that we could learn, and we had a feeling of admiration, so we introduced them in one go.
Today, we are surprised to find that the Western countries that we yearn for and are full of democracy and freedom are like statues of Venus, which seem to be glorious and moving, but when you shine with a magnifying glass, they are full of holes. What we need to reflect on is not to worship the foreign, but to look at the things around us with a single narrow eye, or look up, or despise, or erase, or praise, blind criticism or praise, this kind of cultural short-sightedness is fatal. Our life seems to be ordinary, but in fact we are in the whirlpool of history that has broken and then established, and multiculturalism has become dominant, and this glass of water is precipitating and forming a new cultural good custom. For us ordinary people, the real value of traditional culture to us is not to boast about how great our ancestors are, but when we are in this era, when we are full of confusion in our life and work, and try to explore a pure land for our thoughts, traditional culture provides a possibility, a possible destination, and that's it.
Tradition, this thing can't be quantified.
You have a tradition of wearing ancient costumes, and I have the ability to endure even the pain of the ancient style of underwear all over my body!
Your father is dead, and he has been filial piety for three years, which is considered filial piety, right, then I will keep filial piety for five years, and I am a filial son, right?
This is the problem with traditional culture.
A lot of things that should have been thrown into the old days.
Wang Jian's deal with this kind of old stubbornness, basically just one sentence, why don't you learn oracle bones.
However, his gaze could not take away from Bai San's shield.
This is a weapon that is confident that it can stand up to the ninety-nine?
That would be amazing.
"How can the White Emperor see you if you want, hehe, young man, but I will help you mention you in front of the White Emperor, nice young man. ”
Wang Jian suddenly had a special feeling.
He thought for a moment and said, "You are in charge of state affairs, how do you think about the future of the secret realm?"
"That's not what you're supposed to ask, is that your headmaster wants to ask?"
Wang Jian said: "Now it is useless to say that good birds choose trees to perch, or something like that, you also know that the outside world has changed in the past two thousand years, but after all the hardships, Huaguo is still the world's first power, at least, no matter what kind of food the most basic living security is good, why not consider it." ”
"Hehe, young man, I ask you, you say, what is the purpose of the establishment of the government?"
Wang Jian was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "Is it to make the emperor happy?"
"Hehe, I admire your people over there, they often send us some books, and treat us as wild men who drink blood, but there is a sentence in it that is very true, the so-called government is the product of seeking the happiness of the people. ”
Seeking the happiness of the people?
After seeing a living totalitarian extreme brainwashing terrorist empire, in his opinion, it is absolutely textbook horror, but people are telling you seriously that the government is a product of seeking happiness.
Nima.
Wang Jian nodded and said, "The prince is very happy, well, the princess is also very beautiful." ”
Wang Jian deliberately looked at the little sister of the Bai family and said, Chi Guoguo's teasing.
Bai San almost pounced, but the prime minister seemed to be in control.
"Then my question is, is material material the key to happiness, in your place, people are working every day, constantly buying things that are not needed at all, because you are a group of businessmen in management, so the way of the ruler is to constantly create the feeling of spending money to be happy, forcing you to buy and buy, I am right, do you know that this is in line with an ancient book. ”
Wang Jian scratched his head and said: "I am the top student in the college entrance examination in this province, well, of course, there are basically not many ancient literatures. ”
"Shang Junshu, the study of the tired and weak people. ”
The people are weak and the country is strong, and the country is strong and the people are weak. Therefore, the state affairs of the Tao are in the weak people. Park is strong, lewd is weak. If you are weak, you will be on track, and if you are lewd, you will be more ambitious. Weak is useful, and more ambitious is stronger. Therefore, it is said: the strong go to the strong, the weak, and the weak to the strong, the strong.
Although Wang Jian has not studied specifically, he has a special feeling.
Speaking of which, the common people who are constantly driven and toyed with by all kinds of advertising and consumerism are really similar to the thinking of the weak.
Your commute is actually so far away, buying an electric car is enough to act, but it just doesn't work, colleagues are either buying Mercedes-Benz or BMW, the topic is oops, this car is really difficult to serve, and I have to send it to the fourth son's store next week and spend money, I am really difficult.
Isn't it, my car is not good again, and I plan to change the next one......
Comparison, jealousy, pink eye.
Consumerism.
What is "what should be bought" and what is "what should not be bought"? Is it right to save money to buy a house in the future? Is it wrong to spend money on current goods?
In short, you have to buy what you should buy, and you don't buy what you shouldn't.
