Four realms Four realms of life

Mr. Feng Youlan, a "modern neo-Confucian", said that there are four realms in life. First, the natural realm. Is the lowest state of life, nothing more than eating and dressing. In the past, peasant women had a mantra, that is, marry Han and dress for dinner. Dressing and eating is the most basic thing in life and the lowest level. There is a joke: It is said that there is a child herding sheep on the grassland in Zhangjiakou. The adults jokingly asked him, why are you herding sheep? Sell sheep for money. Why sell money? Marry a wife. Why marry a daughter-in-law? Have a baby. What happened to the baby? Herd sheep. This is called the realm of food and clothing.

After the realm of food and clothing, it is the second realm. With a qualitative leap, it is not enough to eat and wear warm clothes. At this time, people have other needs, in Maslow's words, that is, the need for self-esteem. This is the utilitarian realm.

"the rich don't have to buy fertile land, there are thousands of pounds of millet in the book; There is no need to build a high hall to live in, and the book has its own golden house; I don't hate that no one goes out, and there are many cars and horses in the book; Don't hate unscrupulous media when you get married. There is Yan Ruyu in the book; If a person is satisfied with his ambition. Read the six classics to the window. " "The world is bustling, all for profit, and the world is bustling, all for profit." "Everyone says the fairy is good, but gold and silver can't be forgotten. Everyone says that immortals are good, but fame cannot be forgotten. " This kind of thing, fame and fortune, is called utilitarian realm. What we call "mixed people" are mostly just utilitarian realm of practical interests.

Other people's lives are as important as their own, which is a touching spiritual force. The third realm is called moral realm. If the utilitarian realm is still for oneself, hoping to have light on one's face, then the moral realm is to regard other people's lives as important as mine, "only do the right thing, without seeking benefits."

What is morality? The simple understanding is to do good. Be more complicated and care about the disadvantaged groups. In Lei Feng's words, we should devote our limited life to serving the people indefinitely.

Hubei Satellite TV made a "Past" program and broadcast a touching story:

An old man named Liu Lianman is just an unemployed old man in Harbin, but he once led the China mountaineering team to the top of Mount Everest from the north slope at 1960!

He has the best physical quality and the most experience, and he is also the captain and secretary. However, due to meeting the players back and forth, physical strength was exhausted, and there was insufficient oxygen at that time. He chose to give the oxygen bottle to others. I squatted in a leeward place and wrote a few words, "Goodbye comrades, the people of the motherland are waiting for the news of your victory." He was lucky to survive, but he didn't become the hero of the summit.

"Old gentleman, you made a decision at that time. Look at the three of them. They have become the leaders of the relevant departments of the State Sports Commission. You will be an ordinary worker all your life and won't regret it later? " "I don't regret it" "How can you not regret it?" "People can't all be officials." "Then what is your wish?" "I can find a job to work overtime, three or four hundred yuan a month."

Liu Lianman's daughters were laid off, but his son was admitted to the university but had no money. Later, he went to school by sponsorship. But he said it was necessary for party member to do so at that time. Other people will do the same.

In the face of an old man dying, the calm and calm narrative shocked everyone's heart.

This is the moral realm. It is impossible for us not to be moved by this spirit. Any nation, any country, at any time, this spirit of giving up one's life and forgetting death and giving up one's life for righteousness is the most important spiritual wealth.

It may be quite effective to hold an anti-corruption conference in Babaoshan.

Mr. Feng Youlan said that the highest realm of life is called the realm of heaven and earth. What is heaven and earth? That is beyond the secular, and the same realm as Daquan.

People have different and most important things in youth, middle age and old age. When we put a lot of things that you think are the most important in life at one end of the scale, and at the other end, we only put one word-death. Please judge, what is the balance?

That dark, cold and gloomy day will surely come. Life is actually a history of singing to death. At all times and in all countries, anyone with thinking ability has thought about death in some way. The ancient sages of China, the representatives of rationalism in ancient Greece, have the richest discussion on the issue of death.

Socrates famously said, "One should be calm when facing death." However, the study of near-death psychology proves that when people encounter death, they will generally experience shock and disbelief, anger and depression, and finally have to accept these stages.

When Zhuangzi's wife died, Zhuangzi didn't cry, but sang. The students in Zhuangzi asked: Don't cry, what are you doing here? Zhuangzi's answer was to the effect that at first, I was not without sadness. Later, I took a closer look and my wife was really angry. Looking ahead, the gas comes from nothing. Nothing, why am I crying, so I sing.

Laozi's Tao Te Ching also has a statement about the realm of heaven and earth: "I am sick in my body. And I have no body, why should I suffer? " In other words, all my disasters stem from my having this body. If I don't have this body, what will I suffer?

At a meeting, a group of people fought for one thing, to outdo each other. An inarticulate person stunned everyone in one sentence: I asked you,/kloc-where are you guys in 0/00 years?

People, the realm of heaven and earth, nothing is difficult. Therefore, it may be quite effective to hold an anti-corruption conference in Babaoshan.
