The original name of "Disciples' Regulations" is "Xun Mengwen". It is a three-character rhyme written by Li Yuxiu, a famous scholar and educator in the Qing Dynasty. It was later renamed "Disciples' Regulations".
Extended information:
There are essences and dross in traditional culture. Speaking of dross, "Disciples' Regulations" is one of them.
But today, the "Disciples' Regulations" are becoming more and more popular. Primary school students are required to learn them, college students are also required to learn them, and even specialized disciples' regulations schools have emerged. It's impossible to sit back and watch such a scene.
"Disciple Regulations" *** has 360 sentences and 1080 words. The whole article is a general introduction, filial piety when entering, brotherhood when going out, sincerity, trust, universal love for all, kindness, and remaining learning essays. Excerpt a few sentences and see what the author says.
Let’s look at “filial piety” first. "You must listen to your parents' teachings, and obey your parents' responsibilities. No matter how small the matter is, don't do it arbitrarily. If you do it arbitrarily, your children will suffer." Parents' education and punishment, regardless of whether they are right or wrong, should be listened to and their own affairs No matter how big or small, you should report it to your parents before doing it; moreover, you should not do what you like, but what your parents like.
Look at "Winter is warm, summer is clear", which means to warm the bed for parents in advance when it is cold in winter, and to help parents cool the bed in advance when it is hot in summer. Which child can do this? Can children in ancient times do it? I doubt it. It is quite common for parents to do this for their children.
“After three years of mourning, I often gulp down with sadness, my living environment changes, and I stop eating and drinking.” It is human nature to shed tears when remembering your parents after their parents are gone, but is there any reason to stipulate a three-year period of “sorrowing down” on a regular basis? It’s enough to fulfill your filial piety, but it still has to be a mere formality? Is it true that you are filial to your parents by suffering yourself?
The "filial piety" prescribed by disciples is a foolish filial piety centered on parents. , regardless of whether the parents are alive or dead. While various forms of "filial piety" are emphasized, there is no word about children's love for their parents.
Look at "Ti" again. "The elders go first, the younger ones follow. The older ones stand, the younger ones don't sit down. Respect the elders and keep your voice low." It is true that we should respect our elders; but we must "serve all our fathers as we serve our fathers" and clearly understand that it is difficult to force others. Too much emphasis is placed on the status of the elderly, but the rights of the young are completely ignored. The word "Ti" emphasizes the superiority of the elder and the inferiority of the young, but it says nothing about the equality between people.
Look at "sincere" again. The whole paragraph is very long, but the central idea is clear--they are all words that should be sanctimonious and cautious in words and deeds. There are also many behavioral taboos, such as "don't step on the threshold, don't lean on it, don't squat on the dustpan, don't shake your hips, slowly open the curtain, don't make any noise, turn wide, don't touch the edges", etc., which makes me tired just looking at them. In this regard, I am reminded of the saying "No one should be frivolous and waste his youth."
This is not to advocate wanton behavior, but if people want to live a wonderful life, they need to live out their personality. The word "personality" is exactly what "jin" strictly prohibits.
Look at "letter" again. The "Letter" paragraph actually said a lot of things like "you should keep your word". But Yu didn't hide his shortcomings. He only looked at this sentence: "The other person's opinion is long, and this person's opinion is short. It's none of your own business. Don't meddle." This is clearly misleading people and creating "good gentlemen" who have no principles and no sense of justice.
"Disciple Regulations" is based on the literal meaning of "The Analects of Confucius": "Disciples should be filial when they enter, be fraternal when they leave, be sincere and trustworthy, love others and be benevolent; if they have enough ability to do, they should study literature" written. But the author Li Yuxiu didn't know that Confucius hated good old people the most. Confucius said, "Hometown wishes are the thief of virtue." He was criticizing hypocritical and deceptive people who do not distinguish between right and wrong. Li Yuxiu didn't know this, so he was a scholar in vain.
Look again at "loving all the people" and "loving benevolence". "Love everyone universally" is quite right. "All people must love each other. The sky is the same and the earth is the same." However, he immediately claimed to be on a moral high ground by saying that "we are all human beings, but we are of different kinds. We follow the common customs, but the benevolent ones are welcome." This classification is inherently inappropriate. Because the crowd is divided into men and women with professional qualifications, but there is no distinction between morals and righteousness.
This paragraph forcibly categorizes people, and then "be kind to the benevolent, and stay away from the villain", which reminds me of "The Swordsman" Yue Buqun himself is a hypocrite, but strictly prohibits Hu Chong from associating with the so-called "evil cult" "Middle Man", how consistent with this paragraph. The so-called "kindness" only makes people see hypocrisy.
Finally, read "Yu Liwen". What are you learning? "If it is not a holy book, don't look at it, it will cover your intelligence and have a bad intention." What are the holy books? A list of the Four Books and Five Classics will suffice? Moreover, most of the books are "non-holy books", so don't read them all? How unreasonable! More importantly, reading "non-holy books" will "block your intelligence." "Bad intention"? How fragile is the thought and psychology behind such words?
A "Disciple Rules" is really not worthy of careful reading. An "enlightenment book" does not mention a word or completely deviates from the most important things such as children's love for their parents, equality between people, cultivation of personality, persistence in justice, sincere friendship, and cultivation of wisdom. According to " "Disciple Rules", even if he succeeds in the end, "sages and sages can be tamed", he will still be a person with no personality or even no humanity at all.
"Disciple Rules" is a book that teaches children how to "sight, hear, speak and act" and describes various etiquette and rules. The author, Li Yuxiu, was born in Shanxi in the early Qing Dynasty. He only had the reputation of being a scholar in his life, and his most famous work "Disciples' Regulations" did not gradually become popular until the late Qing Dynasty. There is no doubt that the "Disciple Rules" is just an ancient enlightenment book. It only "teaches people things" and does not "teach people principles."
However, countless literati in ancient China compiled verse-style enlightenment books for their children or students, but "Disciples' Regulations" stands out from them because of its comprehensive content, neat structure, easy-to-understand arguments, and Concise speech is related.
It is certainly inappropriate for some people to worship the "Disciples' Regulations" as a god, but some recent comments have regarded it as completely feudal dross, and regarded it as the same as the textbooks for stupid people, which makes people confused. If we go back to the era when it was severely criticized as a "poisonous weed".
In fact, what is described in the "Disciples' Regulations" is probably the same as what the elders said before, "open a household and close a household". They are all daily etiquette. Scholars in ancient times emphasized "telling without writing." These etiquettes and even every sentence in them can be said to be supported by classic sources.
So, on the surface it is a small issue of how to view the "Disciple Rules", but in fact it is a big issue of how to understand traditional etiquette and even traditional culture. The ancient Chinese understood this issue quite thoroughly. "The Book of Rites·Liyun" said that "the old etiquette is the reality of righteousness." Benevolence and righteousness are like soil. Depending on the climate and environment, various "rituals" can grow. "The fruit comes.
If today’s people just see that these flowers and fruits are out of season, and ignore or even abandon the entire fertile land that raises flowers and fruits, then they will really come back empty-handed.
Going back to the "Disciple Rules", with the rapid changes in the social era, it is true that many etiquette rules in it are no longer needed. Memorizing them by rote is useless, and copying them completely is even more unreliable. However, if we can trace its origins, explain it, and explore its original intention, "Disciple Rules" can still be regarded as one of the introductory books for children to inquire about Chinese ritual and music civilization.
The level of social aging is increasing, and there are more and more quarrels between brothers over the division of their parents' property, and more and more empty-nesters are appearing. Investigating its essence, the reason is that there is no "filial piety" in the heart. This most basic principle of life should be cultivated from an early age. How to raise it? We cannot rely on coaxing or exchanging conditions. We must let everyone understand that "filial piety" cannot be discounted and there is no reason to explain it.
For newcomers who are just starting out in society, it is most important to be cautious in their words and deeds. Their environment is no longer a relatively relaxed place like school, but a workplace full of competition. Being self-righteous and disrespecting your leadership is a must; coming to work on time is basic; complying with regulations is a must; increase business learning, ask for advice humbly, and promote your own progress.
At the same time, you must be responsible for your work and your own commitments. There is no need to be vain or deceitful; words must be deeded and deeds must be resolute. This is work.
When it comes to "benevolence and love", people are always limited to a small part: such as public welfare undertakings and disaster relief. But in fact, a heart of kindness needs to be integrated into life at all times. A tolerant and broad heart can often eliminate many problems. Just like the current traffic congestion phenomenon, the quality issues reflected here are particularly prominent.
Disobeying the rules, merging at will, overtaking at will, occupying bus lanes, and driving aggressive cars. "I would rather wait three minutes than rush for a second." If every driver can wait with a tolerant and kind heart and slow down his temper, he may be able to get good results.
The last part of the "Disciple Regulations" states, "Leave a little time to study literature" and put learning at the end. This should be said to be completely contrary to the educational philosophy of modern parents and the demands for personal development. Nowadays, everyone believes that we cannot lose at the starting line. A good academic qualification means a good future. For this goal, children are arranged to attend various tutoring classes from an early age.
Outside the school gate, you can see groups of elders waiting, and the roads near the campus are also crowded with private cars picking up children. Parents give the green light all the way for their children's future. They switch among various roles as coachman, cook, and follower, but they forget that they are an elder. This directly leads to the reversal of the order of moral development and learning in traditional education. If the foundation is not strong, how can the building be stable?
The most troublesome problems in modern enterprises are low employee work efficiency, insufficient employee execution, low employee loyalty, insufficient team cohesion, and high brain drain rate.
How many heroes in the corporate world have been killed by serious internal strife in the company?
The "Disciple Rules" is a classic reading that touches the heart, and it is also an excellent teaching material for companies to cultivate first-class employees. Studying the "Disciple Rules" not only allows employees to learn how to be a good person, but also how to do things. The following examples illustrate.
Chapter "Filial Piety": Filial piety comes first, dutifulness and loyalty come first, and loyalty is regarded as a way of professional survival. "Dedication" for employees is as noble as "respect for elders". Being filial and conscientious are your job responsibilities. If you practice "filial piety", you will become a person who does not make excuses and dares to take responsibility. When working, you can improve your efficiency, stay calm in times of trouble, and work in an organized manner.
Chapter "Being Out and Competing": This is very important for the company to create a good working atmosphere. How to be a popular person in the team? That is to be an employee who works for growth rather than salary. Don't care about everything and complain less. The resentment will gradually disappear.
The second part of "Disciple Regulations" is divided into "Brothers are friends, brothers are respectful, filial piety is in the middle" mainly educates children on how to deal with the relationship between brothers and sisters. In the same way for business management, it tells us how to deal with the relationship between colleagues. For example, respect each other, care for each other, and help each other. If colleagues are away, you should take the initiative to take on relevant work, etc.
The narration of "Letter", "Whenever you speak, trust comes first, and deceit and deception are not allowed to be ridiculed." It talks about the principles of life and educates children not to say unfounded words and not to make promises easily. Just do it, don’t break your word; don’t speak ill of others behind their backs;
Don’t spread rumors. From an enterprise perspective, this part is also of great practical significance. It reminds employees to strengthen their personal cultivation, make continuous efforts to improve their personal moral character, and grasp their own development direction clearly and accurately.
