What does it mean to "often walk from new house to old house"?
Zeng Guofan opposed large-scale construction and built huge houses in his hometown. I used to live in Xiangxiang's former residence for 100 years. After the development of the Zengmen brothers, the population became more and more prosperous, and guests often came to visit. This old house is a bit out of place. 1865, Ceng Guoquan invested 7000 strings of copper coins to transform the old house. Zeng Guofan was very angry when he learned that his ninth brother was "extravagant" and that it was easy to move into a new house but difficult to move out. This practice did not set a good example for future generations and caused endless harm. "Born in troubled times, the road to stay at home, don't have much money, more money will eventually harm people. Neither too comfortable nor too lazy. From the new house to the old house, walk straight, don't take a sedan chair. Climbing mountains often can also exercise your bones and muscles. The government does not accumulate wealth, which makes children feel helpless. If they are not diligent one day, they will be hungry and cold, and then their children will work hard and be self-reliant. " In a rage, he vowed never to set foot in his new house again. Zeng Guofan lived in the old house every time he went back to his hometown, and never entered the new house in his life. Zeng Guofan also opposed the purchase of private land in China. He wrote in his diary: "I regard buying a house and land as a bad habit of officialdom all my life and swear not to do it." In the fifth year of Xianfeng, Mrs Ouyang bought land privately in Hengyang's home. Zeng Guofan immediately transferred the land after knowing it, and expressed his opposition to land expropriation in his letter at home.
Notes on Zeng Guofan's Letters (1)
With the warming of the temperature, it seems that through the adjustment of the whole winter, the mood has gradually calmed down. There seems to be a charm of starting to miss the plain life. All the people who should be bypassed are gone, those who can't stay, and those who can't get rid of them. Maybe this is the meaning of fate.
I moved most of the bookcases to my office, and I was the only one in the huge office. Even though people come and go outside, I am still quiet and far-reaching in the door. Suddenly I will think of the allusions of "outsiders" and "insiders" and give up with a smile.
I bought a letter from Ceng Gong during my graduate school, and followed me from Nanjing to Suzhou and back to Nanjing from Suzhou. Unfortunately, this book is worn out and dying. Even when I came home with me, my mother thought it had been put in the basement. The book was defined before I read it, and I think I should be ashamed.
There are always two kinds of extreme comments behind Ceng Gong. I don't want to list or copy all kinds of voices on Du Niang, because if I haven't read them, I'm not qualified to evaluate them. I always think of what I want after reading the whole book. This is my own business. So this year, when Tomb-Sweeping Day went home from the grave, he took it out of the bookcase and took it away. It is time to read it. .
Read a few articles in meditation every day, think about your own experience after reading it every day, and then read it, which can be regarded as your own narrative of this book or the first half of 20 1 1. .
The first letter from home, Ceng Gong is a typical person who is prepared for a rainy day and prepared for danger in times of peace. You can see from his naming his study "Begging Quezhai" that the full moon is short and the flowers are full. .
The second letter from home is quite interested in grandpa's eight-character ancestral teachings: morning, sweeping, examination, treasure, books, vegetables, fish and pigs. . This is the eight-character formula for managing the family, which exhausted the essence of Zeng's life. . Get up early and be greedy for the dark, clean up, respect ancestors, be good neighbors, read books, grow vegetables, raise fish and pigs, have farmers and officials, and have business and morality.
The focus of the third letter from home is "learning is like cooking meat"
Ceng Gong borrowed other people's words to express his views on learning. "If you want to learn, such as cook the meat, you must first cook with strong fire and then simmer with slow fire." In other words, reading needs to concentrate on reading in a short time, grasp the general situation of the books read, and then chew the chapters and even the words and sentences slowly to read thoroughly. This is probably the last thing I noticed in my study. On the one hand, I didn't use "fierce cooking" myself, and my study time was still not concentrated enough. On the other hand, I tend to pursue speed and ignore details, which means "insufficient firepower". This letter from Ceng Gong to my brother. Think about it. How can such a senior fail if he can give ideological and methodological guidance from a strategic height at the beginning of his study?
In the middle of this letter, Ceng Gong mentioned a point: "A scholar can be proficient in his major, but I don't think he can have a surname in the end." In other words, if a person really studies, as long as he really works hard and has no slack, how can he not succeed? I'm afraid this is the encouragement from the young Ceng Gong curve at that time. I want to put it on myself, too I'm sorry that I haven't been desperate about that so far, so I can't feel the last hearty feeling. To a large extent, I didn't really fight for it with 100% strength.
The fourth letter from home: tell the truth.
This is a key chapter that a teacher was forced to give in literature and art class during graduate school. Unfortunately, at that time, he was too fond of playing, always skipping classes, and there was no image at all. Today, I saw that Ceng Gong spent a long time talking about "learning from the scriptures" in teaching his brothers. After washing, I realized that I had missed something very important.
There is another place worth thinking about in this letter from home. He advised fourth brother to study hard and overcome impatience. He said, "If you can stand on your own feet, you can study at home, even in the wilderness and busy fields, and you can also study while grazing pigs with low pay." If you can't stand on your own feet, you can't study at home, that is, you can't study in a clean country or a fairy land. Why choose land? Why choose the time? But asking yourself is not true! "
I was shocked to see this paragraph. I was simply teaching myself a lesson. We have a habit that our failure habit is often attributed to external environment, unfavorable conditions and stronger pressure than ourselves, that is, we are unwilling to reflect on our own hearts and ask ourselves whether we really want to study, or whether we really put in energy. In fact, my father always felt that I complained too much to the outside world, but I never wanted to face up to my shortcomings. The major setback in my life in the second half of 2008 was even worse in April 2009 because of my own problems, but I don't want to admit it anyway. . After two years, looking back, I really want to ask myself, wasn't the tragedy that day caused by my own arrogance?
The eighth letter from home
In fact, it is Ceng Gong's own study schedule, which contains what he asks himself to do every day: keep a diary every day, record his bad behavior during the day, and reflect on himself; Read history 10 page every day; We'll talk after dinner every day.
To tell the truth, we all know how to keep a diary, but how many people are willing to analyze themselves severely in the diary? It is estimated that many people can't do it, most of them are blogs or something, and beautification is greater than analysis. Reading history is something I have always wanted to do. When I was in graduate school, a teacher once said that if I encountered problems that I could never understand in real life, I would go back to study history. History books contain all the problems in society and provide all the solutions. I always think that if I have enough time in the future, or in the second half of this year, I must read General History of China, General History of the World, History of China in Cambridge, and my favorite essay of Montaigne. .
Eleventh Letter from Home: Ceng Gong talked about two questions about learning. One is that learning kung fu is accumulated over time, and when it accumulates to a certain extent, it will suddenly feel a breakthrough. . I think it's like Mr. Qian Zhongshu once said with a smile that he didn't like reading since he was a child and was forced to read ancient books by his father. As a result, he looked at it and began to understand it one day. . It's just that I think, when will I start to understand? They don't confine their knowledge to books, but ask questions to the university between family and daily life. This is a proverb. We can learn a lot from the observation of parents, friends around us, colleagues and the speeches of leaders. The only difference here is whether the listener, the observer and the observer are attentive.
The fifteenth letter from home:
Here, Ceng Gong advised his younger brother to engage in the writings of our ancestors first, instead of studying for the exam. . As a family name, Ceng Gong has experienced and felt it, so he spoke his mind. Many people still don't know what reading is for. . Especially the children in the school and the students in the ivory tower, I think only when I have entered the society and experienced the application of knowledge will I understand what the real purpose of learning and research is.
The seventeenth letter from home:
Ceng Gong continued to talk about his "perseverance". He thought that even a person with average qualifications like Brother Four would become an atmosphere if he was willing to make up for it with perseverance.
On second thought, who is not a person with average qualifications? Who can have Zhuge Liang's great talent and ambition? There are only a few wizards, but many are successful. It's not luck. In the final analysis, it is how much "constant" is used.
Twenty-second letter from home:
This letter from home is my favorite one I have read so far, not only because of its popularity, but also because it is true and has important moral and ethical values in life from ancient times to the present. What I admire most is that at this time, Ceng Gong was just thirty years old. At this time, Ceng Gong has just experienced a great leap in official career and officialdom (jumping four levels in a row, unprecedented, and never coming again). It can be said that the officialdom is proud, but he is so far-sighted that it is difficult for future generations to praise him. .
Ceng Gong expressed two meanings in this letter:
One is to be an honest official, not an official to make a fortune. He believes that "an official is often thicker than his wife, thinner than his brother, selfish and resentful with his relatives." Starting from the age of 30, it is shameful for an official to get rich, and it is also shameful and hateful to leave money to children. Therefore, I swear I must be selfish and never make a fortune by being an official. God knows very well and will not break his word. "
According to the study of history books and heels, Ceng Gong was basically incorruptible, although he didn't keep clean all his life. This may be his insistence on Confucian moral values as a senior intellectual.
Secondly, it is also my favorite. Ceng Gong left no money for his children. . Anyone who has read Ceng Gong's biography knows that there are many clan talents in Ceng Gong, and the originator of this is Zeng Guofan, who left no money for future generations, and future generations have made achievements in life, study and cultivation. It's really hard to prosper for five generations. Tracing back to the source, we must be inseparable from the teaching and example of our elders.
Ceng Gong said, "If a son is virtuous, he can ask for food and clothing by himself, without the official bag." My son was greedy and accumulated more money, and the canal made more crimes. In the future, I will commit adultery and be ashamed of my family. "Think about it, how many incidents related to" managing the second generation "and" rich second generation "frequently appear, which is a problem of social moral value system or family education.
In other words, Ceng Gong Chacha left a great wealth-education to future generations, which is really an inexhaustible gold mine.
The 28th Letter from Home: This letter tells the story of a great daughter-in-law Guo Yun. It is admirable that this widowed man can train all his children into talents and reserve a lot of diplomats. Perhaps on the one hand, it benefits from the teaching of my father-in-law Zeng Guofan, on the other hand, it also lies in the talent of people themselves. According to her granddaughter Zeng Baosun, this old woman had a world mind as early as last century. The old woman doesn't approve of stereotyped writing, and she doesn't want her children to be a scholar. Instead, she wants them to read more foreign literature, read newspapers and ancient books every day, and let girls learn to paint and write poems instead of learning to cook. . I think it's amazing that grandmothers tell their grandchildren that you are going to do these things now. No wonder all the children in this family will succeed in the future. More importantly, the pulse of Ceng Gong comes from these children raised and educated by Guo Jun.. . It is difficult for a family to have a talent. If everyone is talented and both men and women are excellent, that's really something.
Twenty-ninth letter from home: This is also a very important letter from home. Ceng Gong arranged four kinds of family situations in high and low order: "I think about it carefully, the home of every official in the world can only be enjoyed by one generation." Their descendants are arrogant at first, then wandering, and finally gully, and few people can celebrate one or two generations. In the home of merchants, thrift can last for three or four generations; The home of farming and reading can last for five or six generations; Filial piety can last for ten generations and eight generations. "In Ceng Gong's view, the so-called power and money are treasures that cannot make the family last forever, even evil weapons. Only those who are sensible, filial to their parents and especially love their brothers can continue their good luck for generations.
Just like many second generation and rich second generation today, it's hard to think about how brilliant they will be when they are not confused, and whether they can live as crazy as when they were young when they are destined to be. We don't know, and I'm afraid neither do they.
PS: I'm so busy today that reading is always interrupted by constant things. I just finished reading these two letters from home in one afternoon. I have a meeting to sum up tomorrow and a wedding at the weekend. I'm afraid I have to take time off. . Be sure to start on Sunday night. .
I didn't even touch this book for a week, but this week I dedicated it to daily newspapers, TV stations and museums. I didn't even get a chance to pick up a book and glance at these three places. Fortunately, today, everything is over and I can concentrate on reading. .
Article 38: Seeing that "the people are happy and the people are happy" directly makes you happy. Isn't this the most common article we have been reading? If we use it to recite and prepare an eight-part essay, we will find this sentence very annoying, but if we really do something, we feel that this sentence is unpretentious but full of love. The prime minister once said such things and did such things, which is why he won the love of so many people. So, the old saying is right. It's just that we have too little knowledge and experience, so we can't understand it. Society is really an unfathomable teacher. She has too much knowledge and experience, but we need to discover and think for ourselves.
The thirty-ninth letter: titizuo. . To tell the truth, I'm afraid what impressed me most about Zuo is that people eat Zuo's chicken jokes, but I don't know more about this historical figure than Ceng Gong. According to the checked data, this is also because he thinks he is a late bloomer, studied behind closed doors for many years and became famous in the late middle age. Maybe those days behind closed doors are his low-key days. . According to this, in fact, as long as you concentrate on cultivating your own morality and stick to your own ideals, you will certainly succeed. People who fail should give up halfway.
Forty-second letter: people can't blame fate, and people who are full of complaints will probably accomplish nothing!
Ceng Gong advised Brother Liu not to "complain", complain less and reflect more. He said, "If you complain about heaven without reason, it will not be allowed; If you treat others for no reason, others will not accept it. The principle of induction will naturally follow. " . Reading is like this, seeking fame is like this, living is like this, and people's life may be like this. If you complain too much, you always blame your failure on external reasons, which is nothing more than bad luck, but you always don't want to think about how much you have done and how much effort you have made. If there is no shortcut to success, you will get as much as you pay. As for many people who think they have worked hard but never got anything, the only explanation can only be that they have not worked hard enough and have not done enough, that's all.
PS: I can only smile bitterly. How long has it been since I took this book? I can't imagine it's been a month. I'm exhausted by the messy bureaucratic battles, but the long road seems endless. When can I stop? .
Seeing that countless learning tasks have been interrupted in my study plan post, I really feel that work will make people involuntarily unable to choose. . . No matter how busy you are, you must keep reading. . .
Forty-third letter: The ancients divided concubines, and Ceng Gong couldn't help it.
Ceng Gong married his daughter-in-law, and everything was satisfactory at first, but he hesitated on this issue. He borrowed his wife's words that he needed to consider suspending his marriage. Although it was later proved that the elderly at home had a deterrent effect, the marriage was settled. This matter is a feudal habit in people's discussion after dinner and should be despised and abandoned by everyone. However, we are asking ourselves, who is not divided into three or six, and who can treat anyone equally?
Let's put aside the so-called self-questioning and torture. Look at my nominally enlightened and humanized unit. I have a high degree of identity discrimination. There is a watershed difference in my attitude towards locals and foreigners. The treatment of non-staff personnel and non-staff personnel is very different from that of temporary employment. Isn't this the modern evolution of offices and concubines? Can ability really defend your legitimate rights and interests? I'm afraid not!
Fifty-second letter from home: if you buy a house, you definitely need an attic.
Talk to Ye Tou (my immediate superior) about studying. His old man has three floors, and the top floor is an attic with tens of thousands of books on it. I have been there once, and I was very surprised. There are treasures everywhere. So I said, Ceng Gong is the same. Every time I write home, I will have a copy. This awareness of protecting intellectual property rights is too advanced. Without this awareness, I'm afraid Grandpa Mao and Jiang Zhongzheng wouldn't have the Complete Works of Ceng Gong on their pillows.
Fifty-eighth Letter from Home: People who enjoy fame but are unrealistic will have a strange disaster.
When I was a child, my mother always said that people who made a fortune inexplicably would be robbed somewhere. According to her old man's thinking, luck is measured. If you use too much before, you will definitely fold it somewhere. I didn't have a chance to test her old man's theory, because I didn't get hit by a wallet halfway. Here, what Ceng Gong said is that "those who enjoy fame without reality will have a strange disaster", which is probably also the "law of conservation of luck". The so-called fame and power do not come for no reason. .
To use an old saying: it is really hard to compare famous people in the world. Again, people who are famous for violence are unknown. . . I panicked when I saw it.
The sixty-second letter left his children and grandchildren helpless.
What do you mean by "depend" and "depend"? We are all dependent children, relying on their parents' love, care and money, so we are children who don't grow up. What does independence mean? It means that you care about yourself, take care of yourself and support yourself. Unfortunately, it is difficult.
In this letter, Ceng Gong wrote: Born in troubled times, the way to stay at home is not to have more money, which will eventually be harmful. Don't be too comfortable and lazy. From the new house to the old house, walk straight, don't take a sedan chair. Climb mountains often, and you can also practice your muscles. Officials don't accumulate wealth, which makes children feel helpless. If they are not diligent for a day, they will be hungry and cold, and then their children will gradually be diligent and know how to stand on their own feet.
Tang's comment is very good: human nature has a lazy side and there is enough money for them to spend. What will they suffer? This is why China is richer than three generations.
Letter 69 I wish my descendants to be gentlemen, not big officials.
This is a letter from home comparable to Zhuge Liang's commandments, which was once written by Zhuge Liang to his son. It is a half-life reflection of a loving father, and I hope future generations can understand the true meaning. I really like this letter from home. If I have my own children in the future, it will also be the most important direction for me to educate my children. . . .
Once said: mortals like their descendants to be big officials, but I don't want to be big officials. I hope to be a sensible gentleman. Diligent and self-control, diligent and hard-working, able to have fun and make appointments, this gentleman is also. . . Every official, from frugality to luxury, from luxury to frugality. . . All wealth and fame are predestined, half by manpower and half by nature. Only learning to be a saint is your own business, and you don't interfere in your destiny. . . .
The seventy-fourth letter is ambitious and comprehensive.
There are two propositions in this letter:
1, those who have achieved great things since ancient times have both large-scale and comprehensive management, and they are indispensable. 2. Great talent.
The so-called "large-scale" refers to big ambitions, big plans and big goals. This is a goal that a person must have, otherwise there will be no motivation to move forward. Borrow Wen Baobao's famous saying: Look up at the starry sky and keep your feet on the ground. . So the big scale is looking up at the stars in the sky. After that, we should be down-to-earth, that is, comprehensive management.
The so-called "great talent" is very important, and the size of talents depends on the size of equipment. Instrument bureau, quantity also.
I think in life, we should cultivate measurement first, and then knowledge. Just like parents educate their children, we should cultivate children into adults first, and then become useful people. . .
Article 77 Persistence is important in life.
Ceng Gong said, "When a mortal does something, he must concentrate on it and never change his mind. If he thinks so, he will sit on this mountain and look at that mountain. People are not constant, and nothing can be achieved in life. " When I read it, I always feel that I am sweating. The word "constant" is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the sky. How many people can really do it. Often when I come on impulse, I will set a goal for myself, but how long can I persist in meeting numerous challenges in the process of completing my goal? I admire people who can persevere, because such people have extraordinary perseverance, self-control, patience and determination, and they can accomplish an "unchanged" person, and they will certainly accomplish countless "unchanged" below.
How difficult is the seventy-ninth honest letter!
How hard is honesty? I don't know, in such a life circle, being "sincere" is often laughed at by many people. As my honest response to the question, I may be criticized by the leader: "Wash your dirty linen in public"; Because I honestly showed my attitude, I was ridiculed by my colleagues as "too stupid"; Just when I sincerely expressed my thoughts, my friends said it was too "naive"; Many times "sincerity" is a kind of verbal praise, but it can't be practiced by action. Just as the country says every day that it wants to build an "honest" society, there are still milk powder incidents, steamed bread incidents, bean sprouts incidents and watermelon incidents. Where does this "sincerity" come from?
Ceng Gong calls himself "sincere". Can you really do it in officialdom and on the battlefield? I'm afraid this is something that Ceng Gong encouraged himself but couldn't practice.
Chapter 80 It is much more important to do a little thing well than to fantasize about a big thing.
Ceng Gong said to his younger brother: Running the army should always be down-to-earth and diligent in small things, but you can make achievements day by day. What is a diligent little thing? "Ancient times became a great cause, and many of them were self-diligent. A building 100 feet high, based on flat ground; Thousands of feet silk, a foot and an inch; The clock in Shiwan is also tired for one or two baht. " The so-called "diligent little things" means doing a little thing in a down-to-earth manner. If a small thing can be done well, then a big thing must be done well.
This is the same as the previous "unchanged". A big "constant" needs the accumulation of many small "constant", and a grand goal needs the accumulation of countless "small goals". Just like I will set a medium-and long-term five-year goal, I don't know if I can achieve it. I only know that I hope I can get there in five years. Then to achieve this goal, I need to accumulate annual goals, monthly goals and even weekly and daily goals. Only by these daily persistence can we finally send ourselves to that goal. Just as the Tathagata Buddha asked the Tang Priest to learn from the scriptures, we must set a trial of 8 1. We are destined to have countless hardships in this process. Whether you can go to the end depends on "perseverance".
Chapter 82 What should I do in the face of trouble?
What should I do in the face of trouble? If it is a trivial matter in life, overcome it and solve it; If it is a major event in life, find someone to solve it in partnership; What if it is in officialdom? Tao Yuanming chose to retire from Nanshan Gorge, while Ceng Gong chose "patience". Presumably, Ceng Gong has better self-control. Doing things against your will is a kind of torture, and I have a deep understanding. Speaking against one's will is also a kind of torture, but living in officialdom, these things happen every day. Without good self-control, who can guarantee not to be crazy?
What does the eighty-seventh letter mean?
I often talk about "comfort" these days. It seems that everyone has countless troubles in life, for life, for family, for friends and for lovers. When we live at a certain stage, we will have a definition of happiness at this stage. When we reach this level of happiness, we will enter another stage and improve the level of happiness again. My best friend and I used to think that when we were freshmen, we would be very happy to have a KFC meal. We decided to eat it on Wednesday, so Monday and Tuesday are just imagining the happiness in our mouth. After dinner on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are used to recall this happiness. When I was a junior and a senior, I started going in and out of Pizza Hut. Although I talked about life and ideals with a knife and fork, I didn't feel much memorable after eating. We have all worked, eaten too many restaurants, seen too much of the world, and the days passed by in a hurry at the banquet, and we almost forgot what happiness was like. Maybe it's really because we have grown up, and a KFC meal can't represent happiness. Our definition of happiness has been escalating with the passage of time. Maybe we should get a lot of money and be promoted several levels. This is the definition of happiness that we should have now. Why are we unhappy?
Is it true that the less satisfied people are, the happier they will be, and the easier they are to be satisfied, the easier they will be? We discussed the problem, but it was fruitless. Maybe it didn't work out at all People are different and need different things, so there is no absolute conclusion on the definition of happiness. However, I still feel sorry to see Ceng Gong lamenting in his letter that "life should be rare in the world".
Chapter 90 Methods of Reading and Ways of Being a Man
This topic is so big that anyone can write a book similar to Exploring the Mind. Ceng Gong defined the method of reading as reading, writing and writing. Think of it as reading; Reading is reciting; Write as writing; As poetry.
This topic is too big for me, and I don't want to say more. However, I am very interested in one of Ceng Gong's viewpoints in the article. He said: "As a writer, it is also appropriate to set a standard for twenty or thirty years old; It is extremely difficult to grow up after thirty. " Ceng Gong means that poetry creation must lay a solid foundation before the age of 30. If you don't lay a good foundation during this period, it will be difficult to surpass the achievements of ordinary people in the future. Seeing this reminds me of Ye Tou once said that a person must be before the age of 30 if he wants to practice calligraphy, otherwise even if he has a lot of time after retirement, he can't really become a calligrapher. Especially when practicing regular script, it is most important to lay the foundation from an early age. I can't prove it, because I don't have the wisdom to practice calligraphy. But I agree that people need to lay a good foundation when they are young. Only by working hard at the best time of brain power, physical strength and perseverance can the acquired knowledge be deeply rooted and anger become stronger. There are really no geniuses in the world, only people who fight alone where others can't see them.
The 91st letter is to observe yourself and swim with an open mind.
These eight words are Zhu's reading method, which the teacher said when he was studying Literary Theory. He didn't understand them at all. Who wants to see the learning methods of the masters in the age of juvenile agitation? When I really realized my ignorance, I looked at history again and found that these methods were around, but I chose to turn a blind eye. What do you mean by "observing yourself" is to contact yourself to understand the words in the book. Well, I guess it's similar to writing reading notes now.
It's really hard to understand what "swimming with an open mind" means. I haven't figured it out after reading it for a long time. Perhaps, as Mr. Tang analyzed, reading and accepting the sage's words with a relaxed and happy attitude, instead of taking reading as a chore, will lead to boredom and resistance. . Think about yourself. Who isn't? When high school students are forced to study by their parents, they often can't read well. When I arrived at the university, I knew where my interest was, and my desire to learn was unstoppable. When reading becomes a pleasure, it is probably a pleasure to stick to it day after day.
PS: Nonsense. In this letter, Ceng Gong's signature is: Di Fu begets new words. . I still have a crush on myself. I used to like one of my favorite people, and he often liked to use this signature. Unfortunately, I didn't understand what this meant at that time, but I just thought it was very nice. Looking at it now, my heart is still moving and people have already left.
Reading notes on diligent study in the 93rd issue.
Ceng Gong taught his children how to read the Bible-read notes frequently. Reading notes focus on two aspects: if you get the message, write down your reading experience at the moment; When encountering doubts, people will put forward their own doubts. With the continuous improvement of knowledge, they will have a new understanding of the previous doubts, and it is also appropriate to record this process. Many scholars in ancient and modern universities have accumulated their knowledge over time. . . What else can I say? I will take careful reading notes.
32 people went over to the hundredth letter of the sage.
Zeng's Portrait of the Sage consists of 32 people: Confucius and Mencius, Ban Ma Zuo Zhuang, Grufanma, Zhou Zhang, Ou Zeng, Duma and Gu Qinyao Wang. . . . See Ceng Gong listed these sages, which one is not famous, which one is not famous in the history of literature, thought and philosophy in China, but I only know their names. Even for Su Shi, I have written my graduation thesis and conducted special research, but I'm afraid only I know what I really know about him. The impetuousness of academic circles has penetrated between the lines of my article. Every time a topic comes out, I have to rummage through it to see if I can learn from it. This is the way I study. A few days ago, Ye Tou talked to me a lot about the changes of the May 4th new poems and old poems. I can only think of the official answer in the book, but I don't know what I know. I asked Ye Tou, if what you see is different from what the book says, how to solve this ideological contradiction? He asked me to read, continue reading, and read monographs written by Hongkong people, Taiwan Province people, Japanese people and westerners, just to understand different thinking as much as possible. When he left, he turned around and smiled strangely and said: There is no truth in this world (haha, that expression is extremely cute! ) Just a little grumbling!
At this point, the first volume of Ceng Gong's Letters, which lasted nearly three months, was finally completed. A very detailed beginning (about 50 letters) began to get sloppy in the middle, because the mood changed. A lot of things suddenly emerged around me, which caught me off guard. I thought the plan of writing at least two letters a day was not completed. The heart is not sure how to think.
The records in the second half of the letter from home are not detailed, but the previous experience is obviously much more profound. The difference between before and after this is very obvious, and I am deeply ashamed. I hope that in the process of intensive reading "Letter from Ceng Gong (Part II)", I can restrain my impetuous mentality and truly achieve the "constancy" of Ceng Gong.
