Classical Chinese dislikes beauty and favors ugliness.

1. Ugliness is expensive, beauty is cheap, ugliness is expensive, and beauty is beautiful.

Evil is expensive and beauty is cheap, which comes from the allusions of the Song Dynasty. It's about Yoko going to Song State and staying at a hotel. The innkeeper has two concubines, one is beautiful and the other is ugly, but the ugly one is favored and the beautiful one is neglected.

original text

Yoko's song stayed in the reverse journey. A traveler has two concubines, one is beautiful, the other is evil, evil is expensive, and beautiful is cheap. Yoko asked him why, but the child said to him: I don't know how beautiful it is; I don't know if evil people are evil. Yang Zi said, "Remember, disciple! Go to the virtuous and go to the virtuous, be safe and not love! "

Yoko went to Song State and stayed in a hotel. The innkeeper has two concubines, one is beautiful and the other is ugly, but the ugly one is favored and the beautiful one is neglected. When Yoko asked him why, the young shopkeeper replied, "the beautiful one thinks she is beautiful, but I don't think she is beautiful;" The ugly one thinks he is ugly, but I don't think he is ugly. " Yoko said, "I remember! I have a good personality, but I think I have a good personality. I will not be respected and loved wherever I go! "

2. Seeking beauty and ugliness in classical Chinese translation: Andy rebelled against Song Dongtai. Andy's song: Yang Zhu went to Song State, opposite the rebellious teenager. "

Yoko said, but I don't think she is beautiful. I don't know the beauty of the two concubines. The ugly one is favored and the beauty is ignored: "Brother, remember! Good character, but don't think that you are good, and you won't be respected and loved wherever you go: "The beautiful thinks she is beautiful, and the young shopkeeper replied, one is beautiful and the other is evil. "

The wicked are expensive and the beautiful are cheap: "remember, disciple, I don't love you, I live in a hotel?" Translation. Yang Zhu asked him why. "

Yoko turned to his disciple and said, "A beautiful man is beautiful, but I don't think he is ugly;" Ugly people think they are ugly. I don't know if he is evil. He is ugly. Yoko asked why there was a beautiful man.

The innkeeper has two concubines; Evil people are self-evil.

3. The translation of the classical Chinese "I don't know how to be ugly" tells me the original text:

Nanqi is located in Qin Shu 1 Valley. Its water is sweet, but not good. Everyone who drinks it will get scabies, so there is no one in the country who doesn't get scabies. When the stranger came, a group of little women gathered around and laughed and said, "What a difference! People's necks are also burnt, but not people. " The foreigner said, "When your neck is tired, you will suffer from dysentery. Instead of seeking good medicine to get rid of your illness, you will focus on my neck. " Laugh and say: my hometown people are all natural, how to use them? In the end, no one knew he was ugly.

Nanqi is in the valley around Shanchuan, where the water is sweet, but it is really short of iodine. People who drink this water all the year round will get big neck disease, so residents in Nanqi will get big neck disease. One day, a man came from outside the mountain, and all the children and women came to look at him and joked that the man said, "Look at that man's neck, so long, thin and dry, it's different from ours." Hearing this, the foreigner smiled and said, "Your neck is swollen and swollen. This is called big neck disease. If I'm sick, you say my neck is dry and I have no meat? " Nanqi people said: "Everyone in our village has such a neck. Why do you want treatment? " I never knew I was ugly.

This is a joke, or a short story in philosophy, but it shows that the long-term closed-door policy will make people ignorant and short-sighted, and even develop to the point where right and wrong are reversed and black and white are confused. The story is profound and thought-provoking.

4. What classical Chinese texts tell us not to spoil children's dog men and charity birds?

And the appreciation of the ancients in China-don't spoil your children, don't abandon them when they fall.

Children are uncivilized by nature and easy to teach. They should work hard according to Confucius' words (don't work hard if you love) and don't spoil them to grow their own hearts. If children have bad habits and are difficult to teach, they should keep Mencius' words (if they can't be raised, they can't be raised), and don't give up and turn over a new leaf lightly.

When children's nature is not polluted, it is easier to teach them, so we should teach them according to what Confucius said: "Love can be gained for nothing", don't spoil him too much, and cultivate his unrestrained habit; When a child develops a bad habit, it is difficult to teach. Therefore, it is necessary to follow Mencius' saying that "if you can't cultivate Chinese, you can't cultivate talents" to educate him, and you can't give up easily, so he loses the opportunity to turn over a new leaf.

[Comment] Confucius said that the habits I developed when I was young were just like at the beginning; A long-term habit, just like before. As the saying goes, "Educating daughter-in-law should start from the moment she enters the door, and educating children should start from infancy." We shouldn't spoil children's education from the beginning, otherwise when the arrogant habit has formed, we will stop it, even if we exert great pressure, it is not easy to correct it.

And once a child's bad habits are formed, they cannot be left behind. . . . . . Teach them to be tolerant, kind, respectful and cautious. . . . . . If you persist in this way for more than ten years, you will naturally develop good ambitions and interests.

5. Do not explain [edit this paragraph] the effective translation of classical Chinese in the East.

Shi suffers from heartburn. One day, her illness broke out again. She put her hand over her chest and frowned, revealing a charming female beauty. When she walked through the countryside, all the villagers opened their eyes. What a beautiful woman!

There is an ugly girl named Dong Shi in the countryside. She looks ordinary and has no cultivation. She usually acts rudely and speaks loudly, but she dreams of becoming a beautiful woman all the time. Today she wears such clothes and combs her hair like that tomorrow, but still no one says she is beautiful.

On this day, she saw the stone frowning on her chest and won the favor of so many people, so when she went back, she also learned to look like a stone, frowning on her chest and walking around the village. I didn't know that ugly girl's affectation made her look even uglier. As a result, the rich in rural areas saw the ugly monster and immediately closed the door tightly; The poor people in the countryside saw the ugly girl coming and immediately took away their wives and children. People were heartbroken when they saw this grotesque ugly woman who imitated the stone and walked around the village. It's like seeing the plague.

She knows that frowning is beautiful, but she doesn't know why.

[Edit this paragraph] Meaning

Metaphor is not to understand people's real strengths, but to copy them mechanically, which is counterproductive. It also refers to the stupidity of mechanical imitators.

▲ Example: On one occasion, Boss A came to Company B at the invitation of Boss B, and inadvertently found that there was no attendance machine in the concierge of Company B, so he asked, "You don't have an attendance machine?" Boss B said, "Not only does the company have no attendance machine, but there are no attendance personnel." A asked, "How do you record employees' lateness?" B: "There are still five minutes before going to work. You can go to various departments to see if anyone has not arrived yet. " A asked, "Why is this?" B A: "Trust is the best attendance machine. They are all adults and know what they should do. "

Boss a is quite touched. After returning to the unit, immediately ask someone to move the attendance machine and cancel the attendance record. But contrary to expectations, the phenomenon of being late is becoming more and more serious, and even those who have never been late are late.

[Edit this paragraph] Supplement

Shi, formerly known as Shi Yiguang, was born in Zhuluo Village, Zhuji, Zhejiang during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Born beautiful. At that time, Yue claimed to be a vassal state of Wu, and Gou Jian, the king of Yue, tried to revive the country. When the country was in trouble, Shi endured humiliation and gave his life for the country. Together with Zheng Dan, she was introduced by Gou Jian, the King of Yue, to Fu Cha, the king of Wu, and became his favorite concubine. She confused the King of Yue with his relatives and left him behind, thus playing a cover role for Gou Jian's comeback and showing the noble thoughts and sentiments of a patriotic woman. After Wu was finally destroyed by Gou Jian. According to legend, after the destruction of Wu, the stone and boating in the five lakes, I do not know where to go, has been missed by future generations.

Shi Yiguang lives in Xiazhuluo Village (now Nanhuangsha Village in Zhuji) of Zhuluoshan (also known as Luoshan). Zhu Luo has two villages, East and West, and Yi Guang lives in the West Village, hence the name Shi. Father sells firewood, mother washes yarn, and Shi Jing often washes yarn by the stream, so she is also called yarn washing girl. Xi Shi is born with beauty, and her talent is unparalleled. According to legend, even the morbidness of frowning and caressing the chest is imitated by neighbors, so there is an allusion of "learning from the east is effective". In the third year of Gou Jian, the King of Yue (494 BC), Fu Cha defeated the State of Yue in Fujiao (now southwest of Wuxian County, Jiangsu Province). Gou Jian, the King of Yue, retreated to Huiji Mountain (now south of Shaoxing, Zhejiang), was besieged by Wu Jun, and was forced to make peace with Wu, where Gou Jian became a hostage. After his release, Gou Jian designed a plan to "get Shi and these two working girls in Zhuji Luoshan" for the weakness of "the prince of Wu is lustful" and prepared to give it to the prince of Wu. A maid-in-waiting favored by the King of Yue said: "A real beauty must have three conditions, one is beauty, the other is being good at singing and dancing, and the third is posture." History only has the first condition, but it lacks the other two conditions. So, I spent three years teaching singing, dancing, walking and manners.

Xi trained hard, danced in melodious music, and then conducted etiquette training. A girl who plays tulle has become a very cultured maid-in-waiting, showing her beauty, treating people well and being very decent. Then, he made her a magnificent palace dress and presented it to the king of Wu. Prince Fu Cha was overjoyed. He built spring night Palace in Gusu, a large pool with a dragon boat in it. He played with the stone and built pavilions for it to sing, dance and feast, such as pavilions and mourning halls. Shi is good at dancing. Fu Cha specially built a "noisy corridor" for her. She used hundreds of vats, covered them with boards and put them on.

The beauty frowns because her heart hurts. An ugly woman (later called Dong Shi) saw her beautiful walking posture and imitated her appearance, which turned out to be even uglier and was regarded as a laughing stock by future generations. The allusion "learning from the East is effective" came from this and left a profound inspiration for future generations.

Study, study, imitate, etc. Should be rational. If you regard the ugly as beautiful and the wrong as right, you are in trouble. Things like "learning from the East" are not uncommon in real life. Spitting on the grounds that others are spitting; Parking in the community is because others park in advance; Taking out the garbage is because I think it is impossible to change this phenomenon by one person; Driving violates traffic regulations and always thinks that you are not alone. In short, some uncivilized, impolite, immoral and even illegal things have excuses and explanations, which I believe are reasonable. In fact, this phenomenon is not tolerated by society, and it is destined to be regarded as a laughing stock, condemned and criticized, just like a learner.

Therefore, before learning, drawing lessons from and imitating, we must first judge the correctness of things and whether to learn. Obviously, the noble, civilized and legal should be vigorously promoted, and the vulgar, backward and illegal should be resolutely resisted. This is the enlightenment of "learning from the East"
