Chapter 32 Adult Culture
This era is full of artificial definitions, and the social class currently divides people into two kinds, cultured people, and uneducated people, but because of the ignorance of the people in the world, they can't tell what culture is, so the so-called cultured people, and uneducated people, can't stand the test, and are naked exposed in the experience of the world!
So how do they distinguish between literate people? Ninety percent of people will distinguish according to someone else's diploma, as if the higher the diploma, the higher the culture. Another 5 percent of people are distinguished by their social status and the amount of money they have, as if the higher the status, the more money, the more educated, and the 5 percent are skeptical and negative.
So what exactly do we think of as a cultural person? Wen? Civilize, assimilate, assimilate. To put it simply, it is a person who has been assimilated by civilization, or a person who has civilization, so you will understand what a cultural person is, that is, a person who has civilization.
But there are many civilizations in it, which one is better to learn? In fact, there is no need to be so entangled, in which region, learn the civilization of which region, otherwise, the civilization of the foreign region forcibly implements things on the local territory is not called culture, it is called barbarism, and disrespect!
Therefore, if you want to become a cultural person in a country with a history of 5,000 years, the standard is not to have a high degree of education, not to have a good resume, but to have the civilization of this country, that is, morality! Everyone who has morality and abides by it is a cultural person in this country, a scholar. Because this civilization is an advanced civilization that has been integrated into the bones.
But if you replace this civilization with a foreign civilization, unless you are higher than this civilization, you can only be rejected by this civilization, or you will be assimilated.
And that's the case in the current era.
If we want to distinguish why foreign civilizations are not what we think of as civilizations, we must know in which field foreign civilizations are advanced, and in which areas our civilization is used!
Since ancient times, these descendants have been adults first, and then they have become adults, and they only hate today's parents who still don't know how to behave, and how to educate future generations?
The words of the sages are simple and easy to do, but they are discarded like a shoe, how can they be adults? Our ancestors taught us three things to know as adults: shame! Know the awe! Know the difficulty! In this way, it can be said that you have just passed!
What does an alien civilization belong to? Foreign civilization belongs to the technical civilization, and the field of expertise is the use of all the skills of nature, which is called civilization, but in how to behave, how to live in groups, how to get along with people, it is a barbaric primary civilization, straight to the point, do not know how to ease, do not know the change of yin and yang.
Therefore, foreign civilizations are only adults, not adults!
And our civilization is a civilization of how to be a gentleman with good morality and morality. It is a civilization that grows first and then grows up!
Therefore, in the chaotic collision of civilizations, some people who think they are highly educated, are highly civilized, and are cultured people, but they are not ashamed of doing things, they do not know reverence for people and things, and they are in important positions but do not understand the difficulties of the people in the world.
This is like using the leader of the carpenter to manage the people, and the master of the blacksmith to teach the people, and only the materials can be taught, not the talents!
Therefore, in a civilized country, if you want to become a civilized person, you need to abide by morality and be an upright person before you can become an adult.
It's not about how many skills you have, or how many skills you have, to be civilized. Otherwise, people will only laugh at the barbarian who is crowned by the monkey!
But this material is good, people are difficult to achieve, today's era has walked in an important turning point in history, the biggest problem is how to go in the direction of the next generation's education, where to go, these are all things that need to be carefully considered, a bad is that it will destroy a whole generation, and even have an impact on the inheritance.
Every newborn offspring is like a blank sheet of paper, how to shape an adult is more by learning the behavior of parents and family members to complete their own sculpture work, so educate children must be parents take the lead in setting an example, and the second most important point is to let children know that life is not easy, many people know the bitterness of life, some have come out, some have not come out, whether they have come out or not come out, they hope that their children will not follow in their footsteps, which is wrong, Everyone's life is not enough through words, but also to teach by example, but also to put yourself in the shoes of the descendants to experience themselves, they can grow, what we have to do is to create a controllable environment from the uncontrollable difficulties to let children experience the journey of life, not to let the descendants go through the journey of life after the hard work, so that it is difficult for the descendants to become adults, let alone surpass the ancestors to create new heights!
Learning skills is a very simple knowledge, because skills are just many, complex, as long as you learn with your heart can be learned, but it is not easy to become an adult, even if you study very hard, sometimes you still can't learn, you can only really understand if you have experienced hardship, pain, and all the roads of life, and to experience these are the costs that need to be paid, and sometimes even the price paid is irreparable, and it may even leave a lifelong imprint in the heart, so the road to adulthood is not easy, but it must be needed, You can have no skills, no skills, but you can live in the social crowd with some hard work, although it is hard to at least live, although the body is bitter, the spirit is a little slow! But if you don't have an adult, face life with an immature life, it will make it difficult for you to move an inch, you will suffer everywhere you go, no matter where you go, it will not tolerate you, until you grow up to be an adult, you can survive in the crowd safely, otherwise your spirit will suffer incomparably pain and suffering, and even force you to die. Even if you have great skills, you will still suffer from unjustified disasters in the company of others!
Shame: It is to know what can be done and what cannot be done, and from the heart it begins to know that it is wrong to do these things, and it is eliminated from the root. If a person does not know how to be ashamed, then he will be unscrupulous, no different from barbarism!
Knowing and awe: Let us understand that no matter how much ability a person has, we must clearly know that we are just a person, a person of flesh and blood, but our position is different, and no one can stand on a high place beyond all eternity, so in order to be in awe, we must know awe, reverence for people's hearts, reverence for heaven and earth, and awe of all things that we cannot control and cannot change.
Knowing difficulties: The easiest thing to grow up in life is to experience difficulties, but it is useless for children to see or hear, he does not understand, he can't remember, he doesn't understand, difficulties must be experienced by each individual, and things can only be understood by going deep into it.
What we want to do is not the cultural people of foreign civilizations, but the civilized people in the traditional culture, followed by the acceptance of the skills and culture of foreign civilizations, without skills we may be very poor, but we still exist, still exist, we have time to surpass, one generation can not be two generations, two generations are not good after the next generation, but if the traditional culture is lost and there is no real civilization, even if we learn the skills of foreign civilization, we can not retain it for a long time.
Therefore, the traditional culture is to become an adult first, and then become an adult, which is easy to become an adult, but difficult to become an adult.
