Thoughts on "Caigen Tan"
What is the metaphysical existence of the title of Caigen? c？ igēn？ Two tones, the spring and autumn brushwork can still be preserved until the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. If this book is really written by Hong Yingming, Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that there are still talents in the Ming Dynasty. From the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, that is, after AD 1620 to the present, no valuable philosophical works have been found in China.
Contemporary studies? Vegetable root? It means, "The vegetable root is hard and stringy, and you have to chew it repeatedly to realize its' true taste'. And then what? Vegetable root? The word itself means living in poverty. This book emphasizes that only by living in poverty can we create all kinds of careers in life. " What he said is ridiculous. If you can stand poverty, if you can, I think you can use it? Grassroots? A title is more appropriate.
Talking about Vegetable Roots, written by Hong Yingming in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, benefited greatly from Wang Xinmin in Song Dynasty. Although the people in Song Wenwu are not so good, they can be said to be the most energetic people in China. The skillful use of brushwork in the Spring and Autumn Period almost spread, creating a bright pearl of China etiquette? Song ci; In addition, Zhu's Neo-Confucianism was regarded as a national treasure by the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It's a pity that Zhu's level is poor, but his brushwork in the Spring and Autumn Period is solid and can't be changed. I think it is useful. Once released, it will be chaotic, and once it is collected, it will die? It is quite appropriate to evaluate Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism. I think Zhu Yuanzhang is very clever. A beggar was born, and he made it very clear when he formulated the stereotyped writing method. It's a pity that Zhu Yuanzhang pursues the wrong things, because Zhu Yuanzhang wants to kill people with severe punishment? Desire, resentment? Daxing Wen Zi Prison. The spring and autumn brushwork survived the cold winter of foreign rule in the Yuan Dynasty, which could have attracted spring, and finally died in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang's literary inquisition.
In the Song Dynasty, Wang Xinmin lived only forty years. Zhou Yanyue of the Song Dynasty said, "Mr. Wang is a famous man, a believer in the people, a Linchuan native (Mr. Wang moved to Linchuan after going to Yuegong), a filial friend, poor and eager to learn." Three years in the township, Shao Sheng tried the first division of the ceremony department for four years. People often think that the imperial examination is not conducive to one's ambition. Teaching Changsha alone, handsome Zhang Gongyun received different courtesy and received education. It's as difficult as gold in Laoyong. Let the family not hold the official position, see the tin kettle bought by my wife, and die: I was polluted. Throw it into the river. ? When Cai was a country, he wanted to know that celebrities were attached to themselves, and refused to be summoned by the Zhou Palace, saying, Don't attach a biography of traitors when I am not there. For Chuzhou instructor. He died at the age of forty. ? He wants to know good and evil, not right and wrong. " Thirdly, his Zen thought is the most prominent feature of this book. For example, in the Song and Yuan Cases, "Mr. (Wang Ge) is honest and clean, but he can't help but enter Zen, so his lectures are mixed." So, its poem says:? Rich flowers in the air, articles on wood (? ); To know the truth, there are only strict boundaries. ? You can't enter the saint's room. "In my opinion, the evaluation of Wang Ge in the major case of the Song and Yuan Dynasties is like this:" Honest and clean, but you have to enter Zen and the holy room. "Why not let Caigen Tan enter the room of saints? I will discuss it in detail in the following text.
"Tan Caigen? The article of the general manager of "Cultivation" said: "If you want to become a fine gold and beautiful jade, you must forge it from fire; You have to walk on thin ice to expose yourself. If you make a mistake, you will feel that nothing is right, so take precautions like a balloon floating across the sea, and don't let a needle leak; Everything is fine and complete, and the innocence of life begins. Repairing like a treasure tree of Lingyun must be supported by all the trees. When you are busy, you often show yourself first in your spare time, which is too arrogant. When you are moving, you should think about it. You should be careful in silence, not in your heart. "Later we talked about' we can look down on wealth, but we can't look down on the heart of wealth'." Being able to treat wealth lightly is only an extremely unimportant branch involved in this paper, and it is hardly mentioned in the full text. I don't understand why contemporary people always talk about learning by money. Do people really live just to eat?
"Tan Caigen? At the end of the commentary, it says: goodness is not in the dark, that is, in the place where people eat and drink; Evil is not ethereal, that is, taking its soul between words of movement and silence. It can be seen that the essence of human beings is always in the sky, and the power of existence lies in people, and heaven and man are separated! " The ending ends with "the separation between heaven and man", and the whole article ends with vowels again? ai？ Sound endings, function words? Hey? Interpretation of classics? Loading, cutting and mining? After three words, put these three words in.
? Pick? This word, the literati yearn for most, doesn't the literati expect self-literary talent? Confucius evaluates his students? Brilliant, don't know what to cut? Confucius and the Ten Philosophers, Xia Zi's literature is very good, but in Confucius' view, Xia Zi lacks literary talent. This is related to our re-understanding of the value and function of literature. Without the feeling of reading the Preface to the Book of Songs Shi Mao in midsummer, it is almost impossible for future generations to explore the mystery of the brushwork in the Spring and Autumn Period through the Qin Empire, and midsummer played a vital role in the development of China literature. The Book of Songs? Guan Ju said:
Guan Guan Luo Gui, in Hezhou. A beautiful and virtuous woman is a good spouse of a gentleman.
Mix shepherd's purse and salvage it from left to right. A beautiful and virtuous woman wakes up to pursue her.
If you can't pursue it, the black nightclub misses her during the day. Miss Long, I can't sleep over and over again.
Mix shepherd's purse and choose from left to right. A beautiful and virtuous woman came to her with a couple and a couple.
Pull shepherd's purse from left to right. A beautiful and virtuous woman rings the bell to please her.
? Staggered leeks? Are you online? Amaranth? Can I be a "vegetable root tan"? Food? The basic source of words. ? Amaranth? What is this? Food? Confucius used it? Amaranth? Besides Confucius, who else knows what Guan Ju is? Amaranth? Philosophical benefits? Zi Gong doesn't understand, so there is? What is the nature and fate of children? Lutz didn't understand, so Lutz got Confucius? You were in court, but you didn't come into the room? Evaluation? Who knows? Amaranth? During the Warring States Period, Mencius understood, Zi Si understood, Xia Zi understood and Xunzi understood. In today's world, who else understands? "History? Hao Tao Hume said, "All! And nine virtues. In other words, his people are virtuous, but they say they are mining. "What is the meaning of this passage? Mining? ,? Mining? What is the importance of this word? Are you interested in learning? ,? Fifteen? Philosophically speaking, it means more than fifteen years old. Did Shang Shu explain it at the bottom of this passage? Fifteen? A metaphysical way, Confucius soon put forward, wrote a poem "Lu Ear": "It is not enough to close your ears. Well, I'm pregnant. I'm going to look around. "What do we see in this poem? Mining, once a week? Are two workers there? Pick and choose? Reflection 2? x？ NGCüI？ "Is Curled Ear a Book of Songs? One of Nan Zhou's most important poems, Guan Ju? Ledao? "Ge Tan"? Parents? , "curly ears"? Ritual benevolence? . we? Vegetables, picking? What? cüI？ Taoism is the most sacred knowledge of Confucianism? Ledao? 、? Parents? 、? Ritual benevolence? Above, this is the "vegetable root dialect"? Vegetable root? Root, so "vegetable root to talk? "Self-cultivation" always quotes an article saying, "Be pure in gold and beautiful in jade.
Forging from fire; You have to walk on thin ice to expose yourself. If you make a mistake, you will feel that nothing is right, so take precautions like a balloon floating across the sea, and don't let a needle leak; Everything is fine and complete, and the innocence of life begins. Repairing like a treasure tree of Lingyun must be supported by all the trees. When you are busy, you often show yourself first in your spare time, which is too arrogant. Think about it when you are moving, and do it in advance when you are still, not from your heart. "Later talked about" can light wealth, not light the heart of wealth ".
We have carefully studied the whole article of Caigen Tan. In the end, the intention of Confucianism to join the WTO turned to the passive seclusion of Taoism. The author intends to soften the words of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism into the words of Cai Gentan. Unfortunately, he can't do this and become a four-elephant. Don't go into the room of saints? Can you describe it? No Confucianism, no Taoism, no Buddha, no talent. ? Based on this understanding, the world is like a repeated villain. I don't advocate reading Caigen Tan as a holy book in China, because it doesn't deserve to be called a holy book. But through this book, we can trace back to the Spring and Autumn brushwork and bring us a brand-new way of writing and thinking.
I read "Caigen Tan", the biggest gain is: articles that can't inspire wisdom, articles that can't guide practice, articles that can't bring philosophical speculation, articles that have no literary talent and no benefit, they are just so-called exercises. Reading contemporary writers' articles can basically only be called exercises, which is nothing more than moaning. So German sinologists call China contemporary literature? Junk literature? This statement is very appropriate. Time and practice will prove that China has made no new achievements in literature in the past 600 years. Confucius said, "The afterlife is terrible." What Confucius was afraid of was that he would be shameless and brave in the afterlife and close the door? Unification? . Patients with emotional and allergic mental illness. This disease is mostly caused by intense psychological contradictions and great pressure. Also known as "hysteria".
Reflections on Caigen Tan (Ⅱ)
I bought a book "Caigen Tan" for my children during the winter vacation. My eight-year-old daughter couldn't understand the meaning behind every quotation at all and asked me for help, so I took this opportunity to open this book for the first time.
In modern life, the pace of life is fast, and people have no time to stop and reflect on their hearts while they are busy. Just like me, I am busy with my work and life every day, and I often encounter all kinds of failures, setbacks, confusion and knots, which often leave shadows and scars in my heart. While teaching my daughter to learn to read, I am deeply touched by every quotation in Caigen Tan. Read a few paragraphs every day, and there are some new thoughts and new insights every day. In reading, I opened my heart, let these cautionary and awakening quotations surround and infiltrate my heart, change my mind, change my life, and change my outlook on life and world.
Life is like this. We should be able to find the factors of happiness in ordinary life, stay alert in the face of honor, and learn to persist in the face of setbacks. Tan Caigen taught me how to face life, work and life.
A "Caigen Tan", a warning book, I hope you can steal some leisure, find it, open it, read it, let your heart fly with the words, and let your life enter another realm with reading.
Reflections on Caigen Tan (Ⅲ)
When I was looking for books in the library, I was curious when I first saw the title. Very interesting. Then I turned over a few pages, which really aroused my interest. Caigen Tan was originally a collection of quotations on practice, life, social life and fertility compiled by Taoist Hong Yingming in the early Ming Dynasty. It is a rare treasure training in the vast past, with the crystallization of the truth of three religions and nine streams, and the eternal truth that has been passed down from generation to generation. It has an incredible subtle influence on people's cultivation and moral cultivation. Its text is concise and clear, and it adopts both refined and popular tastes. I like quotations, but I have fun that quotations don't have; Arrange in order, whoever seems to be an essay will have an essay that is not easy to achieve; It seems to be exhortation, but there is an awakening that exhortation lacks; And there is rain and mountains, the night is quiet and the bell rings, the words are clear and delicious, and the wind and moon are boundless.
Every sentence in it is very philosophical, such as: observing my heart silently, I really can't see. Sitting alone in the dead of night, I realized for the first time that I was poor and really exposed, and I got a great opportunity every time; I think the truth is right in front of me, and I can't escape it, but I feel ashamed in it. It means that when a person sits quietly alone in the dead of night and observes his heart, he will find that his delusion is completely eliminated and sincerely revealed. When this sincerity was revealed, he felt very comfortable and used the opportunity of freedom. If only this sincerity could exist all the time, but the hope can't be completely eliminated, then the soul will feel ashamed and uneasy, and finally repent and have the idea of doing good.
In the process of everyone's growth, there is a great need for time and space for thinking alone, which can also be called loneliness. This time is a good time for self-examination, which can make you want to understand something, so as to be happy physically and mentally. After a while, I may be depressed again. At this time, I began to doubt myself again. I need to work hard to improve myself again.
Every philosophy should be carefully considered. They can teach us a lot of truth, so as to avoid indulging in doubt and depression. This book is highly recommended.
Thoughts on "Caigen Tan"
Caigen Tan is no less than a code of conduct that teaches ancient gentlemen to establish the world. It sets Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism as aphorisms in order to set an example. From this book, we can see that moral education has always been emphasized in China's traditional education. This enlightenment undoubtedly influenced the mainstream ideology of China literati for thousands of years. But at the same time, the enlightenment of the integration of the three religions seems to be not perfect.
First of all, it deeply influenced China people's thoughts on the three religions. Although they collided and influenced each other in the long river of time, they had their own relative independence. Although Confucianism advocates the highest ideal of "sage inside and king outside", it advises the world to follow the golden mean and hold a sense of hardship; Taoism advocates inaction and does not dispute; Buddhism exhorts people to be merciful, repent of sins, be clear-minded and see nature, and so on. But there are always some discordant voices that make people feel at a loss. For example, in reality, is it necessary to "sacrifice one's life for justice"? Or "preserve our sanity"? This is a problem. It can be seen that when people absorb the advantages of the three religions at the same time, they are not so harmonious, and there will often be some confusion, just like a person who eats too much will always have some indigestion. Although the traditional thought is profound, the literati and officialdom have always been influenced by the tradition, but their behaviors are quite different. This shows that even the essence left by the ancients should be picked up again. It is not easy for a gentleman to choose from the glory of thousands of years of thought and find his own way without hindrance.
Secondly, in these discourses of educating gentlemen, besides the ideal personality of "gentlemen", there are other human natures: greed, fame and profit, abuse of power for personal gain, self-cultivation, impatience, arrogance and arrogance. What about those who harm others' hearts, think smart and get in the way? Wait, the list goes on. Sage books only teach gentlemen not to go along with others and fall into innocence. And the negative teaching materials of these gentlemen often only end in self-eating. For example:
Play politics for a while, and it will be bleak forever.
Those who abide by morality are lonely for a while; According to the powerful, forever desolate. People look at things, think about the body behind them, and endure temporary loneliness, not eternal desolation.
At the beginning of the article, it is said that a gentleman should "abide by morality", even if he is "lonely for a while", it is worth persisting. This shows that road signs are for gentlemen. A gentleman will be "lonely for a while". Obviously, not all the people in the world are gentlemen. On the contrary, there are many "influential people in Afghanistan" who make a gentleman "lonely for a while". Moral education often only attaches importance to the highest standards and emphasizes the moral self-discipline of gentlemen; And pay little attention to the bottom line, and pay little attention to the compulsory restraint of evil.
Judging from this book alone, education and spiritual pursuit are too important. But a gentleman has too many enemies, at least the opposite. Even a gentleman has spiritual needs before becoming a saint, and pulling his hair is inseparable from the ground. In addition to rationalism, we should also establish a more pragmatic tradition, pay attention to things on the ground, take care of most human nature, and set the bottom line by law. As a result, high dancers jump and jump; A shameless person, even without self-discipline, will not be too cheap under other laws.
Thoughts on "Caigen Tan"
The book "Caigen Tan" has been highly praised by friends and is regarded as a book of cultivation and wisdom. I also want to read it carefully in my spare time, but I'm too busy to read it.
Recently, my daughter's school distributed this book to children and asked each student to remember the information in it. My eight-year-old daughter couldn't understand the meaning behind every quotation at all, and asked me for help, so she took this opportunity to open the book "Caigen Tan" for the first time.
Caigen Tan is a collection of quotations about practice, life, social life and fertility compiled by Taoist Hong Yingming in the early Ming Dynasty. There are different opinions about the reason of "the name of vegetable root", and most of them think it comes from an old saying of scholars in Song Dynasty? People can bite off the roots of vegetables, then everything can be done. Through this book, the author shows his indifferent attitude of being willing to be poor and his ordinary and detached ideal of life, which is worthy of admiration and learning by future generations.
In modern life, the pace of life is fast, and people have no time to stop and reflect on their hearts while they are busy. Just like me, I am busy with my work and life every day, and I often encounter all kinds of failures, setbacks, confusion and knots, which often leave shadows and scars in my heart. While teaching my daughter to learn to read, every quotation in Caigen Tan made me feel deeply, as if suddenly enlightened. Watch a few paragraphs every day, and there are some new ideas and new insights every day. In reading, I opened my heart, let these cautionary and awakening quotations surround and infiltrate my heart, change my mind, change my life, and change my outlook on life and world.
"The poor are rich and poor, and the contented are poor and rich. Poverty can't wait for jade to divide wealth, people's grievances are not from Hou, and power is self-sufficient; "A contented person's quinoa soup aims at getting rich, a robe is warmer than a fox, and people are not allowed to be princes", which has a very strong educational benefit to the idea of pursuing wealth and comparing with each other in today's society. In the past, I was always lost in material desires, constantly longing for better material conditions, and as a result, my heart was never satisfied. In comparison with others, I always expect something beyond my potential, and my life is impetuous and vain. At this moment, I understand that the pursuit of material things is endless. Although I don't have luxurious material conditions, I have a happy family and a stable and reliable job. Although my life is ordinary, my spirit should be happy and rich. Contentment is always a joy, which is a mentality of people pursuing happiness and a philosophy of life.
"If you are proud, you must look back early. Brush your heart and let it go. If you are grateful, you will be hurt in the afterlife. Therefore, when you are happy, you must look back early; After failure or counter-success, so don't let go when you are in your heart. " Life is always full of setbacks and pride. This quotation tells us not to get carried away when you are proud, and not to be cold when you are frustrated. For me who just transferred from sales to the general office, this sentence can be used as the motto of the workplace. To cope with the new environment and new work challenges, we must redouble our efforts and do our work better; When I encounter setbacks in my work, I no longer lose heart, but continue to work hard and persevere until I succeed.
Life is like this. We should find happiness factors in ordinary life, stay alert in the face of honor, and learn to persist in the face of setbacks. Tan Caigen taught me how to treat life, work and life.
A "Caigen Tan", a warning book, I hope you can steal some leisure, find it, open it, read it, let your heart fly with the words, and let your life enter another realm with reading.
