Only a person with a firm belief can achieve something. From this, we can also see that the ancient educational methods and means are much more brilliant and interesting than our modern people.
Therefore, we should make good use of the wisdom treasure in our traditional culture, so that we can know the interest and flexibility of ancient education, and what lessons and inspirations did the works of ancient education provide for our modern education?
Confucius, Old Master Q and the ancient sages left us with those cross-era educational ideas and methods. Let's follow the footsteps of the ancients and explore the educational treasures of traditional culture together!
"Prosperity in poetry, standing in ceremony, makes a thousand joys." These three aspects are Confucius' syllabus, and they are also progressive at different levels. It is the most basic course to learn language expression and writing notation.
? With the education of culture, we should also have the teaching of moral cultivation, which is generally called "both morality and art" to cultivate talents with both ability and political integrity.
? The ultimate goal of Confucius' last teaching is to return to music. The old man is really cute. Generally speaking, the Analects of Confucius refers to this sentence as music, and Confucius is not an artist.
? What's more, even if he is an artist, Confucius can't think that the "Chinese dream" can be realized only by music, which is a bit unrealistic.
An ancient saying happened to be the footnote of this passage, which was called "If you don't do something right, you should do something for yourself". Therefore, Confucius thought that poetry and propriety were the basis of being a man and doing things. On this basis, he returned to the education of mind and achieved true inner happiness and joy. In fact, this purpose was put forward at the beginning of The Analects of Confucius.
Confucius said, "Isn't it nice to learn from time to time? Is it not delightful to have friends coming from distant quarters? People who don't know and don't worry about it are not as good as gentlemen. "The opening of The Analects of Confucius has pointed out all the teaching ideas and teaching goals of Confucius.
? As we all know, Kong Old Master Q's teaching philosophy is to rule the country and level the world. We see that this opening seems to have little to do with governing the country.
? If this is the case, Confucius disciples will not summarize these words as a purpose of Confucius' teaching, let alone the purpose of The Analects, which is the core idea of Confucius, that is, a purpose of Confucius' whole thought.
Let's take a look. What is Confucius' teaching goal? It has been clearly stated at the beginning, "Isn't it a pleasure to have friends from afar? It is not a gentleman to be ignorant and not satisfied. "
Then someone will ask, isn't Kong Old Master Q's teaching goal to rule the country and save the whole world? These two points are a bit like the optimist who is happy with the water, and some tend to see through the world of mortals. Where is Kong Old Master Q's thought? This will not be said by Confucius' disciples under the guise of Confucius' mouth.
We can't research this problem from the perspective of history, but we can reason and guide it from the existing point of view.
? First of all, from the historical point of view, we all know that the two most influential schools in the Spring and Autumn Period were Confucianism and Taoism. The debate between these two schools was fierce in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, almost to the point of incompatibility, and Buddhism had not been introduced to China at that time.
? Therefore, the Confucius Analects compiled by Confucian scholars shows a strong possibility of being born. Since it is not about being born, is it that Kong Old Master Q traveled around the world, lobbied kings, benevolent policies were not adopted, and Wang Zhidao was not respected first, and his old man's house was pessimistic and negative? If so, Kong Old Master Q and Confucianism will not be highly praised by the rulers.
political economy has already explained that the economic base determines the superstructure, and the superstructure reacts on the economic base. If Confucianism belongs to passive seclusion, it does not need to be respected by the rulers to such a high position, and it has become a feudal ruling trend of thought that has dominated China for two thousand years.
? Because this kind of thought will hinder the development of productive forces, the change of production relations, and will naturally die out in the process of production improvement.
Facts have proved that Confucianism supported the powerful operation of the feudal empire for more than two thousand years, which shows that it has a profound humanistic connotation and historical background. So how should we understand Confucianism and what is its core?
The core of Confucianism is embodied in The Analects, and the purpose of The Analects is embodied in the first three sentences. How to understand these three sentences? Before we talk about this question, we need to look at the three things that ancient scholars pursued, namely, meritorious service, moral integrity and standing up.
In ancient times, the emphasis on reading was, "Reading is aimed at sages, and being an official keeps a monarch in mind." We can see that the ancients told the scholars that if they want to be an official and share their worries for the monarch and secure the country and the country, this is what the scholars often say, "Wen can write a pen to secure the world, and Wu can immediately decide to do Kun."
This is also the scope of their contributions, but in order to achieve this immortal contribution, you need to be called sages, so that you can achieve all kinds of contributions in this world and benefit the whole world with their wisdom and knowledge.
In this case, we will understand that the purpose of The Analects of Confucius is even Confucius and Old Master Q, and the whole core idea of Confucianism lies in these two sentences: "It's a pleasure to have friends from afar! People don't know and don't care, it's not a gentleman! " These two sentences mean that the realm of life pursued by ancient scholars in China is sage, sage and gentleman.
Guests from afar please stay. Guests from afar, all the world is brothers, and all the world is a family. This is not just the pursuit of the realm of being a man. More precisely, all the people in this world are relatives, and all corners of the country are brothers and sisters. What is this if it is not a world of harmony?
In other words, Kong Old Master Q thinks that if everyone can become a sage, then the highest ruling idea of Confucianism can be realized. Then, in Kong Old Master Q's class, Ceng Dian put forward, "The wind dances and sings away!" Confucius said, then I will go with you!
Confucius believes that everyone can be a sage, and everyone is determined to be a sage, so why can't the wind of ancient kings be restored? This is the ideological purpose of Confucius. "Everyone can be a saint, and if everyone is determined to be a saint, the world can be one."
