86_86695 "When I was speaking before dinner the other day, I told you a few little stories. The content of today's pre-dinner speech is the same, and I will continue to tell you a little story. ”

"Today I want to tell two short stories, both of which are from the ancient sage Xunzi, and they are all stories from the books he wrote."

"The first story is called the Fish of the Floating Sun. Xunzi's original words are like this, 'The fish of the floating sun, if you think about the water in the sand, you will not be caught.' It is useless to be cautious in trouble. Those who know themselves do not complain about others, those who know their fate do not complain about heaven, those who complain about others are poor, and those who complain about heaven have no ambition. Isn't it a detour to lose oneself and the other person is the opposite! ‘”

What is Xunzi talking about? He's saying, there's a fish called perch. It is the blue-scaled fish that can often be seen in our Yangtze River. I saw that someone below nodded, indicating that someone had seen it.

Xunzi said, this fish has a special habit. Unlike other fish, this fish likes to float to the surface of the water to bask in the sun. As we all know, fish are animals that must live in water. Without the living environment of water, he would not be able to live. It's like one has to gasp. People can't do without air, and fish can't do without water. ”

"Because fish can't do without water, you can find that few fish stay on the surface of the water in daily life. But this sea bass is different, it likes to bask in the sun. If you want to bask in the sun, you have to be close to the water, but the water is flowing. When we were on the edge of the Yangtze River, we could see that the river water rose and fell. These perch fish like to bask in the sun, so they stick to the surface of the water, sometimes unaware that the water is about to recede. In this case, a lot of sea bass were stranded on the shore. At this time, everyone knows what will happen to them. When the fish leaves the water, it must be dying. ”

"Why is Xunzi a sage, the reason is that we have all seen such a small thing as a fish stranded on the beach, but no one has thought carefully about the truth contained in it, but Xunzi and his old man thought of it."

When Xunzi saw these stranded fish, he thought that when there was water, the perch never thought that he would encounter the fate of stranding. But if you run aground on the beach and try to get water, it's too late. It is useless to be trapped in calamity and try to be careful. People who are self-aware do not blame others, and those who understand objective laws do not blame God; Those who blame others will be cornered, and those who complain about God are uninformed. Isn't it stupid to blame others for the fault of oneself? ”

"Tong guò The story of the Yangfu fish, the sage Xunzi, what truth do you want to tell us? Xunzi is an old man who wants to say that people live in this world and must pay attention to two things. First, it is necessary to have a correct understanding of the objective laws and understand the natural laws of the operation of the world. Second, people must do things in accordance with the requirements of objective laws, and must not violate objective laws. ”

What does that mean, I'll give you an example. For example, in the "Health Order" I promulgated, everyone is forbidden to drink raw water. The reason why I don't let everyone drink raw water is because there are bacteria in the water. We have also seen with a microscope that bacteria are the root cause of human diseases, and there are bacteria that make people sick and kill people in raw water that is not boiled. Let's just talk about the plague bacteria, it is in the raw water, and if you drink the raw water, you will get the plague. ”

"From this example, the fact that there are bacteria in the water is an objective law. Before you look at it with a microscope, you don't know that there are bacteria in the water. However, the bacteria in the raw water will not stop because everyone does not know about it. Two days ago, I heard that a woman in Bac Giang village had died of dysentery. For what reason, I drank raw water. It can be seen that there are bacteria in the raw water, and drinking it will kill people, and this truth will not fail because the woman does not know. This is the objective law. ”

"Again, from this example, boiling water kills bacteria. This truth is also an objective law. During the time you were with me, none of us had dysentery. What is the reason, that is, everyone abides by this objective law. I don't know, if you don't abide by the objective laws, such as the women of Jiangbei Village, she died. Those who know the objective laws and abide by the objective laws, such as everyone, drink only boiled water, and everyone will be healthy. ”

It can be seen that there are bacteria in raw water, and there are no bacteria in boiling water is an objective law, and we know this objective law, and boiling the water to drink it is to abide by the objective law. From this example, we can see how correct the words of the sage Xunzi are, that is, people must learn and understand the objective laws, and people must follow and abide by the objective laws. This is the truth that Xunzi and his old man want to tell everyone in this story. ”

After Wang Shuhui finished telling the first story, he picked up the water cup on the podium and took a sip of water. I took a closer look at the people in the cafeteria. Sure enough, after listening to the story of the Yangfu Fish, many people looked thoughtful.

In Wang Shuhui's eyes, more than 300 people are not very many. He had lectured in public classes at the university, and the students of several classes were combined, and the lecture hall was full of whimper, which was not much less than the people here. But he never paid much attention to public classes. The students are not strong, playing with mobile phones, flirting with each other. Lecturing is a two-way street, and if the students don't give it, the teacher won't have it. This may also be a major reason for the low quality of public classes.

Wang Shuhui finished drinking the water and began to tell the second short story.

"The second story of today's will be called the Virgin Theft. The same is the story in Xunzi's book. ”

"Xunzi's original words are like this, 'The virgin baby pearl wears a treasure jade, wears gold, and encounters a thief in Zhongshan, although he is blinded for it, he wants to be a concubine, and the concubine of the Jun Lu house is not enough to avoid it.'" ”

"What does Xunzi mean by this? He said, Ah, there was a young girl with a jewel around her neck, a jade ring around her waist, and a lot of gold on her body, who met robbers in the mountains. Robbers are known to everyone, and when they see money, they rob with knives. The girl was frightened and did not dare to look at him. Stooped down and knelt down, begging bitterly. The one who is on the table is more obedient and obedient than the robber's wife. But the robbers killed her anyway. ”

"What does Xunzi think about this matter, he said, 'Therefore, if there is no way of one person, it is not enough to live for the country. Therefore, the Ming Jun is not Taoist, and he will repair the ceremony to Qi Dynasty, the law to Qi officials, and the peaceful government to Qi people, and then the rhythm to Qi Dynasty, all things to the officials, and all the people to the bottom. If so, those who are close will compete for relatives, and those who are far away will make wishes; The top and bottom are united, and the three armies work together; Fame is enough to scorch, and power is enough to beat it; Arch commands, and the country of violence does not tend to move; For example, it was Ju Wu who fought with Jiao Yu. Therefore, it is said: It is difficult for a violent country, and it is easy for me to do a violent country. That's right. ’”

What he meant was that it was the same as the relationship between the state and the state. If the king could not lead the people against the invaders, but hoped to survive by praying for a please, it would be like the story where the girl wants to ask for the forgiveness of the robbers, which is completely unworkable. So, a wise monarch would not do that. ”

"If a country wants to resist the invaders, only by formulating a good system and appointing impartial officials can it ensure that the whole country is united as one. Only with all the people of such a regimental state can the country become strong and not only resist aggression, but also subdue the aggressors and make them slaves of the state. Therefore, it will not work to make the aggressor pitiful, only by using strong strength to defeat the aggressor and turn the aggressor into a slave, such a method will work. ”

"What is the truth of Xunzi's story to everyone. Xunzi is telling everyone that things are in general contradictions, and things are developing in different directions in contradictions. In the story just now, there is a contradiction between the girl and the robber, and there is also a contradiction between the state and the state. ”

"In the conflict between the girl and the robber, the girl, as one side of the contradiction, was killed by the bandit on the other side of the contradiction because of her lack of strength. In the contradiction between the state and the state, between the aggressor and the invaded, the stronger side can win and eventually enslave the other country. ”

"Xun Zitong guò This story wants to tell everyone that contradictions generally exist in the world of life, whether it is a person or a group, you must have strong strength to survive in a world full of contradictions."

For example, in the conflict between the girl and the robber, if the girl does not beg the robber bitterly, but knows the universal existence of the contradiction, and exercises her body at home every day like everyone else. If she were like the women in our group, strong and fast, she would have escaped from the robbers and survived. Or take out a telescopic stick that I have given you, and open the robber's head with a stick, and the girl can survive. ”

From this incident, we can learn a truth. Contradictions are common in the world. If we want the contradiction to develop into an outcome, it all depends on the strength of both sides of the contradiction. Knowing this truth, everyone should realize that although our current life is very peaceful and comfortable, contradictions exist after all. One day in the future, far or near, there will always be other people or groups who want to infringe on our interests, destroy our group, or be robbers, or corrupt officials. ”

"All in all, on the day when the conflict broke out, everyone wanted to be like the girl in the mountains, who ended up begging and begging, still losing their lives, and ending up in the wilderness. Or take out an iron rod as a stick, knock down the robbers and corrupt officials, and protect your hard-won good life. It's up to everyone. ”

"This is also the fundamental reason why I have always taught everyone a lesson in military law. I don't think about the day when everyone will be like that girl, and they won't even have a choice. ”

"Okay, today's pre-dinner speech is over, according to the old rules, everyone should write their thoughts after the lecture and hand them in the day after tomorrow. Now start eating. ”。
