(Read more)
The season of March, the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, the day of the high tide, the wind, the sea water will never be the wind under the summer sun, light clouds, blue and clear, the sea water looks a little turbid, a little irritable, in fact, even the round of fiery red sunrise hanging on the sea surface has a trace of hardness and coldness.
The master and apprentice recited the "University" with the sound of the waves, "University" is the beginning of the Four Books, and it is also the most important school textbook in ancient China, and the influence of the Four Books and Five Classics on the Chinese people has continued to this day.
It's just that today, there are fewer and fewer, and more and more thin, which is exactly what Peng Guoxing is worried about. So after taking Tang Lin to recite the whole university article, he began to explain it formally.
"The way of the university is the purpose of the university." The word "university" has always had two meanings in ancient China: one is the meaning of "erudition"; The second is "adult learning" compared to primary schools. The ancients entered primary school at the age of eight and learned basic cultural knowledge and etiquette such as "sprinkling and sweeping to deal with advance and retreat, etiquette and music shooting the number of imperial books"; β
At the age of fifteen, he entered the university and studied ethics, politics, philosophy, and other studies of "self-cultivation and self-governance". Therefore, the latter meaning actually has something in common with the previous meaning, and it also has the meaning of "erudition". The original meaning of "Dao" is the road, which is extended to the law and principle, and in the ancient philosophy and politics of the Chinese Kingdom, it also refers to the origin and individual of all things in the universe, and a certain political concept or ideological system, etc., which has different meanings in different contexts......
"In ancient times, those who wanted to promote the integrity and virtue of the world had to govern their own country well; If you want to govern your country well, you must first manage your own family and clan well; If you want to manage your family and clan well, you must first cultivate your own character; If you want to cultivate your own character, you must first correct your mind; If you want to correct your mind, you must first make your mind sincere; If you want to be sincere in your thoughts, you must first make yourself knowledge; The way to acquire knowledge is to understand and study everything. Knowledge can only be obtained through the understanding and study of all things; After acquiring knowledge, ideas can be sincere; Only when the mind is sincere can the mind be correct; Only after the mind is correct can we cultivate character; Only after cultivating character can we manage the family and clan well; Only when the family and clan are well managed can the country be governed; Only after the country is well governed can the world be peaceful. From the head of state to the common people, everyone must take the cultivation of character as the foundation. If this root is disturbed, it is impossible for the family, the clan, the country, and the world to be governed well. It is also impossible to put the cart before the horse and try to do things well, regardless of priorities! β
Peng Guoxing said very seriously, said a lot, he directly took the beach by the sea as a classroom, this natural feeling of heaven and earth being one, Tang Lin had never been as interested in the Four Books and Five Classics of ancient China as he is today. Today's schools have long since stopped teaching the Four Books and the Five Classics, and the Four Books and Five Classics have long been a thing of the past.
The times are developing, science and technology are progressing, the economy is advancing rapidly, and now people's material life enjoyment has reached an unprecedented height, and then, people are more and more alienated from the things left by their ancestors for thousands of years, and more and more abandoned. Nowadays, the focus of schools is to learn computer foreign languages, but why not inherit and develop the essence of traditional culture of our ancestors?
With a history of 5,000 years, the Chinese nation is one of the five major ancient civilizations in the world, and it is also the only big country that still stands majestically.
But what about inheritance and inheritance?
Tang Lin listened very carefully, even if it was a similar explanation, this situation was completely different from others when it came out of Peng Guoxing's mouth. Because Peng Guoxing is inheriting with heart and inheriting downward. In fact, Peng Guoxing's requirements for students are really not high, and the first thing he requires is conduct and self-discipline.
Peng Ning called the two of them to eat under the sun, and saw an old man and a young man on the seaside in the morning sun, a cotton coat and a single suit, one with his hands behind his back with a majestic expression, and one standing straight with his head held high.
And the two of them are standing in a very strange and awkward position, one is facing the sea, the other is facing the sea, is the two of them rehearsing a drama? However, when she walked in and heard that her grandfather was teaching "University", she didn't dare to go up and disturb. She was bored to find out when the beach was so clean, and carefully observing the big black hands of an old man and a young man, she suddenly felt a feeling of emotion in her heart, and then the situation of Tang Lin bending down to pick up cigarette butts for her in Dong'anmen Square came to her mind.
One, two, three.
This fool picks it up very seriously, isn't she allowed to throw it away if everyone else throws it? What is the rationale for this? What is he pretending to be tall? Anyway, every time the flag is raised, there is a cleaner to clean it immediately!
But didn't the old and the young get up at four or five o'clock and go to the pigeon's nest to watch the sunrise? Coming home after watching the sunrise and picking up trash on the beach? After picking up the garbage and reciting the "Four Books" aloud? Well, that's really the quirky style of the weird grandfather.
She didn't wear much, it was windy and a little cold by the sea, so she subconsciously hugged her shoulders. Fortunately, at this time, Peng Guoxing's morning class was over, and she immediately ran over to be coquettish, and straddled Peng Guoxing's arm, "Grandpa, it's time to eat, the red dates and millet porridge I cooked for you, as well as your favorite salted duck eggs, and corn tortillas, are all cooked by Miss Ben herself!" β
Tang Lin followed behind the grandfather and grandson, looking at Peng Ning, who suddenly became completely different in front of Peng Guoxing, he grinned, alas, this woman is really uncertain, think about it, or his sister is well-behaved and sensible.
But Peng Ning seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and immediately turned his head sharply, stretched out his hand and pointed at him, "Laugh, laugh, laugh what are you laughing at?" I don't want to have breakfast and buy it myself, huh! β
Tang Lin didn't speak, didn't refute, or continued to walk, Peng Ning, turned back and warned, "What are you doing with me?" I told you that you don't have a share, you can't expect to live and eat you, right? Have you paid for your food? β
Tang Lin still didn't speak, and continued to follow, Peng Ning had no choice but to coquettish Peng Guoxing again, "Grandpa, look at him, can we have a good breakfast as a family?" People get up at 7 o'clock in the morning in order to make breakfast, and my aunt and my mother don't get up until 8:30, or are they the most distressed grandfather? β
Peng Guoxing didn't speak, just continued to walk back, Peng Ning finally discovered what the old and the young have in common, that is, they play silence and pretend to be innocent for you at critical moments, grandpa is called wisdom and bearing, what is Tang Lin? Hmph, Tang Lin can only be regarded as hypocritical and naΓ―ve.
So she didn't speak anymore, but while Peng Guoxing didn't care, she turned around and stuck out her tongue at Tang Lin, and then gave him a big middle finger!
Tang Lin had a completely different idea in his heart, what? Penning, who plays Ducati to raise a Great Dane, cooks? Well, even if you don't drive me away, I'll have to find a chance to escape, I guess your skills are on par with the female mayor, he doesn't want to come to the beach to relax and spend every day on the toilet and toilet!
