Ancient and modern sages

Brief introduction of ancient and modern sages

Sages of ancient and modern times are the enlightenment bibliography of ancient children in China. Also known as "sages of past dynasties" and "gracing sages". The title of the book was first seen in the drama Peony Pavilion in the Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, so it can be inferred that this book was written in the Wanli period at the latest. Later, it was changed to this appearance after the continuous supplement of the literati in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was called "adding glory to the text" in history, commonly known as "adding glory to the text". I haven't seen any books, except that it was revised by Confucian scholars during Tongzhi period in Qing Dynasty, which is probably the crystallization of folk creation.

The contents of Ancient and Modern Sages are as follows: 1. Talking about people and interpersonal relationships; Second, talk about fate; Third, talk about how to live in the world; Fourth, express your views on reading. In the world described in Ancient and Modern Sages, people are hypocritical. People are fickle for their own selfish interests and love the poor and the rich, which makes the world full of traps and crises. In the article, a lot of emphasis is placed on fate and retribution, and it is believed that everything in a person is arranged by fate, and people have to do good things to have a good chance. These contents have their negative side, but it advocates good deeds and is worthy of recognition. Augmented sages have a lot of space to describe how to treat people, which is the core of the full text. There are many descriptions of tolerance in this paper, and it is considered that tolerance is the way to eliminate troubles and sins. While advocating self-protection, caution and tolerance, it also emphasizes people's subjective initiative, which is considered as the principle of doing things.

Although Taoism is the main way to glorify the virtuous literature, it does not exclude Confucian preaching. The article emphasizes the importance of reading and the value of filial piety. These views reflect the orthodox Confucian spirit, which is not consistent with the Taoist thought infiltrated in the book. But it is precisely because of this complexity that people with different ideas can see their own proverbs and aphorisms, which are widely representative.

"To Honor" is an anthology of rhyming proverbs and literary sentences, with a wide range of contents, from etiquette to morality. The legal system covers almost everything from scenic allusions to astronomical geography, and the sentences are fluent and easy to understand. But the center is about the philosophy of life and the way to live. Some of these proverbs and common sayings reflect the fine tradition of hard work, plain living and hard struggle formed by the Chinese nation for thousands of years, and have become valuable spiritual wealth, such as "a plan for a year lies in spring, a plan for a day lies in yin", "a meal and a porridge, when thinking is hard-won, half-silk and half-silk, persistent thinking about material difficulties" and so on; Many things about society and life, after the vicissitudes of the world, have become proverbs to warn people, such as "good medicine tastes bitter and is good for illness, but advice at the worst time is good for action", "good is rewarded with good, evil with evil" and "happiness with sorrow". Some proverbs and common sayings have summed up people's experience in struggling with nature for thousands of years and become concise and vivid philosophical and scientific knowledge, such as "You can know the nature of fish near the water, the sound of birds near the mountain", "You can get the moon near the water, and flowers and trees in the sun will spring early" and so on.

The content of "Ancient and Modern Essays"

Ancient and modern sages (cooperative articles)

The two work best together. It is difficult to walk with one foot and sing with one hand. A rising tide lifts all boats, but more firewood and less fire. Everyone gathers firewood and the flames are high. One brick cannot build a wall, and one wood cannot build a house. A fence, three piles, a hero, three gangs. One bamboo pole bends easily, but three hemp ropes are hard to break. A single flower is not spring, and the garden is full of flowers.

Know what it is, and care about it. Far water can't put out a near fire, and a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Beauty is not beautiful, hometown water; Kiss or not, fellow villager. Know yourself in the sea, and heaven is still our neighbor. A friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, but a friendship between villains is like wine and meat. Beans blossom and vines attract vines, and friends get along.

Ancient and modern sages (truth)

No attempt, no gain. Fish can be known near the water, and birds can be known near the mountain. If you want to know what happened in the mountains, you must ask the woodcutter. Listening is bright, listening is dark. Read more facts and listen less to empty words.

Full loss, little gain. Change it when you know it. If you smell it, you will be very happy. A family is not an ant, running water does not rot. Take good advice and hate evil. If the clock doesn't strike, it won't ring Good medicine tastes bitter and is good for illness, but advice when most unpleasant is good for action.

Ancient and modern sages (exhortation)

The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves before, and today's people in the world are better than the ancients. If you waste your time, you will leave regrets in the old space. 360 lines, each line is a champion. Ice is born in water, colder than water, and shines on you more than blue. When the book is used, I hate it less. It's not difficult. Let's talk about it later.

The body is afraid of not moving, and the brain is afraid of not using it. The more you use your hands, the smarter your brain becomes. Three days fishing, two days drying nets, half-hearted, nothing. Fist never leaves, mouth never leaves. The master leads the door and practices on his own. Practice makes perfect, and diligence is good at it.

Ancient and modern sages (read the article)

If you want to know what is happening in the world, you must read ancient and modern books. If you learn it, you can use it everywhere. Optics is not necessarily equal to zero. If you can't learn, ask if you don't know; Reading depends on self-care, and the teacher is just a guide.

Good songs are never tired of singing, and good books are never tired of reading. Reading is expensive in doubt, and doubt can teach. Reading silently is easy to think, reading aloud is easy to remember. If you start reading a good book, you will get a good friend; Rereading a good book is like knowing an old friend. Pay attention to study in everything, and three people will go with my teacher.

Ancient and modern sages (environmental protection)

Environmental protection is everyone's responsibility. Trees are shaded and the air is fresh. Greening the earth and nourishing people's hearts. Merit lies in the present and benefit lies in the future. The trees on the mountain are light, and the mud goes down the mountain. Managing mountains and controlling water without planting trees can't keep the soil and water. Afforestation is a sandstorm, and good crops are everywhere.

Ancient and modern sages (aspirations)

The mountain stands on the ground, and people stand on the will. If the moon is short, the light will not be changed, and the sword will not be changed to steel. What is important to birds is wings, and what is important to people is ideals. Without ideals, you will live your life in vain. The three armed forces can win the handsome, but ordinary people can't win the ambition. Tigers are thin and ambitious, while people are poor and ambitious. Set up Ling Yunzhi and dare to pick up the stars. If you are willing to travel around the world, you can't move without ambition. Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.

Years are afraid of Mid-Autumn Festival, and men are determined to be teenagers. A big ship is not afraid of high waves, but a big ambition is not afraid of risks. There is no mountain that can't be climbed, and there is no dangerous beach that can't be broken. Seeing different thoughts, the mound is difficult to turn over; Concentrate, the peak can be climbed. People without ambition always yearn for it, and people with ambition always yearn for it. Practice is real. Zhu Xi's family precepts are also called Zhu Bailu's family precepts. Author Zhu Yongchun, whose real name is Zhiyi, Bailu, born in Kuangshan County, Jiangsu Province, was born in forty-five years of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (16 17). His father Zhu was a scholar in the late Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yongchun has never been an official. During the reign of Kangxi, someone wanted to recommend him to take an examination of the imperial court's erudition and poetry, but he resigned and was excused. He studied Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism all his life and advocated that knowledge and practice should go hand in hand. His works include The Book of Changes, Lectures on Four Books, Poems in Shame Court, Collection of Shames, Family Instructions of Zhu Zi, Lectures on the Doctrine of the Mean in Universities, etc. Among them, the 506-word "Zhu Zi Jia Xun" has the greatest influence and has been circulated for 300 years.
