The Romance of the Three Kingdoms
This is a complete and thick book of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I can't help but lament that history "will be divided for a long time, and it will be united for a long time." The Romance of the Three Kingdoms really vividly tells a historical story for readers, and it also taught me some ways of living in the world.
Let me first talk about the inspiration that the character Cao Cao brought to me. Cao Cao was a very bold person throughout his life, and he was also very cunning. He mistakenly killed Lu Boshe's family, and in the end, knowing that he was wrong, he continued to kill Lu Boshe. His ruthlessness and senselessness reached this point, and Chen Gong left him. What Cao Cao said later is thought-provoking: "I'd rather teach me." If I betray the people of the world, I will stop teaching the people of the world to betray me." But thinking about it on the other hand, if he hadn't killed them all at that time, if Lu Boshe really brought some people to hunt him down, Cao Cao might have withdrawn from the stage of history. But treachery will only bring temporary small profits. If you continue to be treacherous, you will naturally receive retribution. Later, Dong Cheng and his group attempted to assassinate Cao Cao, but unfortunately they failed. Later, some people assassinated Cao Cao one after another, but they all failed due to some accidents, otherwise Cao Aman would not be all-powerful. The revelation that Cao Cao gave me is that you can't be too cunning.
A figure that is completely opposite to Cao Cao is Liu Bei. He takes the lead in benevolence and righteousness, and he loves the people. Liu Bei's behavior throughout his life was the opposite of Cao Cao. Cao Cao was treacherous, while Liu Bei was benevolent and righteous. When Liu Bei was in trouble, he still led the people to escape. He managed a new country or Xuzhou with benevolent policies and won the love of the people.
But whether it is Cao Cao or Liu Bei, they all have one characteristic, that is, they attach great importance to talents. Cao Cao lost a Dian Wei, and during the memorial ceremony, he did not cry for his own Cao family members, but only for Dian Wei. After the death of his adviser Guo Jia, he was also very sad. Liu Bei paid more attention to talents. At first, Zhao Yun was not a general of the Liu family, but he valued Zhao Yun very much and kept him several times. Later, he finally returned to Liu's family, which allowed Adou, who could not help him, to escape danger twice. Xu Shu was "abducted" there by Cao Cao. When bidding farewell, Liu Bei cried to say goodbye and cut down the bamboo forest blocking the way. Later, Xu Shu came back and recommended Zhuge Liang. Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched cottage became a model for recruiting talents.
Therefore, a person’s power is limited. He needs to recruit people, find like-minded people, and create a business together. This is the way to success. The opposite example is Yuan Shao. It is said that Yuan Shao had obvious military advantages when he fought against Cao Cao, but Yuan Shao did not value talents and did not know that he had many loyal ministers around him. If he listened to his loyal ministers, how could Cao Cao defeat him? But he listened to some villains and was defeated by Cao Cao, who had fewer troops.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms also taught me: I must be good at listening to good opinions, and loyal advice may be harsh to my ears. Why did Cao Cao lose the Battle of Chibi? I think it was because he did not listen to good advice. Faced with the new outsider Pang Tong, he did not hesitate to believe in his "serial plan". But when faced with another minister's loyal advice to him, the minister roughly said The answer is: "If the enemy attacks with fire, how can they withstand it?" Cao Cao's answer roughly means: "In this season, the southeast wind will not blow. If they attack with fire, they will burn their own camp." This can't be blamed on Cao Cao. He is not like Kong Ming, a meteorological expert who can tell the wind and rain. But since someone has made suggestions, Cao Cao should also be alert, otherwise he would not be defeated. Another time, Liu Bei set up a 700-mile company camp in a forest near water. Some ministers had already given him advice, saying what if the enemy used fire to attack? But he did not accept it, and later he was actually burned down by Lu Xun for seven hundred miles. Therefore, whether you can listen to other people's opinions correctly often determines the final success or failure of something.
Some characters in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms also gave me a lot of inspiration. Those who are greedy for money and sex will definitely not have good results in the end. The reason why Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu knew how to use weapons was because a little girl Diao Chan was there to sow discord between them, so Dong Zhuo was defeated by his own lust. Cao Cao was also a bit lustful. After Zhang Xiu surrendered, Cao Cao was looking for fun in the camp, so he found Zhang Xiu's wife to play with. Later, Zhang Xiu was naturally angry and plotted against Cao Cao. Fortunately, Cao Cao was lucky, otherwise he would have been killed by Zhang Xiu.
After Cao Cao built the Tongque Tower, he also wanted to put the "Er Qiao" from Soochow on the stage, so he asked Kong Ming to use this to provoke Zhou Yu and make Zhou Yu determined to send troops to attack Cao Cao. Only then did Cao Cao have Chibi was defeated. There are still some people in the Three Kingdoms who seek glory, but they will not get good results. On the contrary, Guan Yu was neither greedy for money nor lustful. He was admired by Cao Cao and admired by thousands of readers. If it weren't for his little pride and Liu Feng's unwillingness to save him, he wouldn't have died so early. So, I know again that you must not be greedy for money and sex, but you must be an upright and upright person.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you can also learn many things, such as studying the laws of history, analyzing the characters, and analyzing the causes and consequences of things and the reasons for success or failure. Mao Zedong once read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms five times, and this is probably the reason. Masterpieces can withstand repeated reading and scrutiny. Good masterpieces can accompany one's lifelong growth.
Reflections after reading the Collection of Princes
"The Happy Prince Collection" - its name sounds like a happy book, but it itself is a book that can feel sadness from the story book. Wilde vividly expressed the ugly phenomena of capitalist society in fairy tales.
There are not only regrettable stories, but also angry stories, and even fairy tales in which good people get their comeuppance while bad people are safe and sound. Sometimes it makes the reader angry, and sometimes it arouses a sense of sadness in the reader. It fully demonstrates the unfair treatment in the old society.
Olde (1854-1900), Irish genius, poet and dramatist. He was born in the family of a famous doctor in Dublin. After graduating from Trinity College in Dublin, he went to Oxford University in England for further study. Wilde was a spokesman for the British Aestheticism movement at the end of the 19th century, which advocated "art for art's sake". "The Happy Prince" published in 1808 is loved by readers all over the world. His only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, has elements of the supernatural power of Gothic fiction. Wilde's greatest achievements are his comedy masterpieces "The Young Lady's Fan" and "The Importance of Being Earnest".
The most representative call is "Faithful Friend", which is very ironic. The beginning of the article leads to the tragic story of a "loyal friend" through the conversation between the plum blossom finch, the old river rat and the mother duck. The poor gardener Little Hans is loyal, selfless and helpful, but the wealthy flour miller is selfish, hypocritical and ruthless. He used the excuse of "loyal friend" to exploit little Hans anytime and anywhere. He received countless benefits from little Hans, and said rhetorically, "A true friend should enjoy everything." But he himself received nothing and gave nothing. He also sent little Hans to work for him free of charge. Finally, little Hans went to a distant place to seek medical treatment for the son of the flour miller in the dark and stormy night, but the flour miller was so stingy that he would not even lend him a lantern. Finally the "faithful friend" drowned in a moor cave.
The "Selfish Giant" and "Star Child" are completely different. "The Selfish Giant" is a poetic and beautiful fairy tale. Although the story is short, the description is very touching. On a bright spring day, the garden is full of birdsong and flowers, and the scenery is beautiful. But the giant was selfish and refused to let the innocent and lively children go in and play. As a result, spring stopped coming, the flowers stopped blooming, and the birds stopped singing. Only then did the giant wake up and repent, open the door, and welcome the lovely children in. Children bring spring to the garden. When the giant died, he was covered with white flowers.
He also had a relatively beautiful end.
Of course these three fairy tales are all fantasy and cannot happen in real life. But such bad thoughts and behaviors as those of the flour miller who are mercenary and have no regard for the life and death of others; those of the giant and the star child who are selfish and pretentious can be found everywhere in capitalist society.
Through the condemnation of the flour miller and the criticism and education of the giant and the star child, the work clearly tells readers that people should be honest, kind, modest, helpful, and filial to their parents
Hope it can help you !
