Mencius is a well-known figure, and Mencius is also a well-known classic. From middle school and college Chinese, we have learned something about Mencius and some of his remarks, and also learned some chapters in Mencius. But as far as I'm concerned, I haven't fully studied and tasted Mencius, and this is an opportunity to read and write famous books. So I went to the library early to borrow the book Mencius' Direct Interpretation and began to read it slowly.

Many people have studied Mencius' thought since ancient times. Mencius' four-terminal theory, the theory of good nature, the political practice of benevolent governance and the idea of self-cultivation are all well known to us. The short word 1000 is far from enough to summarize the ideas expressed in Mencius. So here are two articles about personal cultivation in the first part of Mencius Gongsun Chou to talk about my feelings after reading it.

The fourth part of Mencius Gongsun Chou is about the leisure of the country, so it is timely to understand its political punishment. Although it is a big country, it will also make people afraid. In today's country, leisure and timeliness, as lazy as Ao, are asking for trouble. A person who asks for it. Although we are talking about governing the country, we should take precautions before they happen, especially when we are usually vigilant. But it also applies to thinking about our world today and our daily life. The contemporary world takes peace and development as the theme of the times. Except for some local wars, the whole world is basically peaceful. In a peaceful environment, we don't have to think too much about a series of problems such as food and clothing, so people's vigilance gradually weakens. In this good environment, some of our classmates began to relax their requirements, and after entering the university, they became addicted to the internet and games or lived blindly without goals in life. I can't plan my future well and work hard for it. When encountering difficulties, blame others, blame others, blame others, and blame the teacher for not talking in class. As far as the current economic crisis is concerned, some graduates can't find jobs because of the current economic crisis, because they can't learn knowledge at school or lack practical opportunities, but they don't find problems from themselves. We have to admit that the economic crisis has indeed led to the depression of some industries and affected the employment of fresh graduates. However, if you can prepare for a rainy day and constantly enrich yourself by reading books and participating in practice during college, it will not be so difficult to find a job, because gold will always shine and be appreciated by employers. There is no mention in the history books of heaven committing iniquity, which is still a violation; You can't live if you commit a crime. It is also emphasized that wealth is made by oneself, not man-made or made in heaven, and everything is sought by oneself.

Although the seventh chapter of the first book of Mencius Gongsun Chou said at the beginning, benevolence is not an impossible thing, but an inaction thing. The key is how we choose. At the end of this part, Mencius still uses archery as a metaphor (the benevolent is like shooting, the shooter is making progress, but he misses, and those who don't want to beat themselves just ask for it). ) to illustrate the problem of self-denial. In other words, we should start from ourselves first, and always ask ourselves questions whether we know that we have problems or not. Now, in many cases, we all use different standards to ask ourselves and others to be strict with ourselves and be lenient with others, which is not right. We should take the lead and start from ourselves.

Mencius was one of the important thinkers in ancient China. His kingly way, benevolent government, standard of making friends and ideal personality may have some ideal colors in Mencius' era, but many thoughts still have an important positive effect on people's cultivation when applied to today's era. This is the power of classics, which will not die with history, but will accumulate and refine with the development of time, affecting people from generation to generation. Just like wine, the older it gets, the better it gets.

Thoughts on Reading Mencius (2)

After reading Mencius, I feel the deepest sentence, that is, since Heaven wants to drop people, we must first suffer their minds, work their bones and muscles, starve their bodies and empty their bodies. God wants to give you a great responsibility. Be sure to work more, eat less and be empty. Think about myself, which of these four principles have I achieved? Let's talk about it first! Turning to the history of celebrities, I found that I was not so diligent as Gou Jian, even if it was a trivial matter, I did not deliberately suffer.

Although I often do housework, I never take the initiative. Without that kind of initiative, I feel weak every time I work. Hunger is out of reach. Eat less? Eating more is more like it. As for emptiness, it is even more impossible. None of this is possible, not to mention that someone will be demoted one day. Although we can't restrain modern people with ancient requirements, it inspires people to keep moving forward as a goal.

Wenchuan earthquake quoted this sentence, God surrendered to China, to loong, the earthquake is not a pain, but a power of understanding! Just like the song in "True Hero": How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? No one can succeed casually. Let's remember this sentence-how can we see the rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? No one can succeed casually! !

Thoughts on Reading Mencius (3)

Mencius is one of the main representatives of Confucianism and an idealistic school of Confucianism. Mencius attached great importance to the people's heart and public opinion, so he boldly put forward the idea that the people are the first, the country is the second, and the monarch is the least, to show the importance of the people's heart. He promoted the rule of law and benevolent governance in politics. In theory, Confucius was praised and Yang Zhu and Mo Zhai were attacked. This is enough to show Mencius' love for ordinary people.

Mencius inherited Confucius and put forward the concept of hardship. He believes that the position of life, the rise and fall of career and the survival of the country are all related to whether there is a sense of urgency. Worrying about the country and the people is also a great trust of responsibility and responsibility. Those who enjoy the people, the people enjoy themselves; People worry about the people, that is, if the monarch regards the people's worries as his own worries, the people will also regard the monarch's worries as their own worries. This is also Mencius' hope for the monarch, hoping that he can be benevolent to the country and love the people as a son.

There are seven articles in Mencius, which are mainly composed of two aspects: one is that Mencius discussed politics with the monarch, and the other is that Mencius is known for communicating with other Confucian disciples. Mencius' writing is sharp and persuasive, but his prescription is out of step with the hegemonic line taken by the Warring States, so it is unpopular. This is also a true portrayal of learning written martial arts, goods and emperors' homes

This is how Mencius understood poetry against his will in The Merchant of Zhang Wan. Poets don't harm words with words, they don't harm their ambitions with words, and they oppose their ambitions with their intentions in order to win them. A critic of a poem can neither take the individual words of the poem out of context, nor misinterpret the true meaning of the poem with the superficial meaning of the sentence, but explore the author's thoughts according to the overall idea of the work. It is also a principle to comment on other people's works.

For Mencius, we can't sum it up in a few words, because his thoughts make us unable to understand thoroughly. His spirit and verve are like the light passing through the clouds. Even though the era of his existence has been 65,438+0,723 years away from us, we can still feel his dazzling light because of our limited vision and knowledge.
