Although The Analects of Confucius is like a white-haired old man, some of its lessons are still desirable. Not all of them have nothing to do with modernity and have no meaning at all.
I recommend reading Yu Dan's < The Analects of Confucius > Experience ",many of which are worthy of our (all human) * * * thinking together, and there are also many things that we will face ourselves. Some principles put forward in The Analects of Confucius are worth learning from.
from Yu Dan's book <: The Analects of Confucius > Give a few simple examples in Experience:
First, the way of heaven and earth. It concerns people, the relationship between this group, the relationship with nature, etc., which is related to interpersonal relationships, human character and so on;
second, the way of mind. It is related to people's mentality and attitude in dealing with things. Nowadays, mental illness is increasing, and the mentality cannot be well adjusted. Therefore, some teachings of the Analects of Confucius are still necessary.
third, the way of life. At first glance, we know that this is something that all of us have to face (even children). Isn't it a good thing to help us by providing some knowledge in The Analects?
fourth, the way of a gentleman. This is necessary for today's society where morality is declining and the moral bottom line is broken again and again, resulting in some pathological societies that are difficult to cure.
five, the way to make friends. Everyone has friends, but some are bosom friends and close friends, while others are not. Some principles put forward in the Analects of Confucius provide us with good reference, even guidance.
of course, there are ideals, ways of life and so on. These are all important topics, and they are also unavoidable things for people as human beings. This is a famous book written by Yu Dan after reading The Analects of Confucius-< The Analects of Confucius > A little bit listed in "Experience". We can see that it is still necessary for us to read The Analects.
