The origin of the Thirteen Classics of Reading Punch (1)

On February, 2002 1 year1day, a dozen traditional culture teachers and I started "punching in filial piety learning". At that time, we persisted for more than 100 days, without interruption every day.

In this punch-in, I read the original 100 times, looked up the new words myself, then studied the annotations, thought about how to practice, learned to think and practice, and planned to take the intensive reading route.

When reading the Notes on the Classic of Filial Piety, I found a phenomenon: a large number of related contents of the Thirteen Classics are often quoted by annotations.

For example, the first chapter of Notes on Filial Piety:

1, Confucius' name is Qiu. Husband is equal, followed by young and old. There is the word "brother", so it is called the clock. "It was called the Zuo Zhuan case, which lasted for six years:" Yue: five, and the third one was based on human life. "

2. The China Ancient Filial Piety says "seclusion", which means that Gai lives in seclusion, which is the same as the Analects of Confucius! That's what I mean by "Ru", but it's not the same as the next chapter "Living in a house makes you respect him".

3. Every waiter has a seat and a shelf. The waiter in Ceng Zi is also a waiter. "Quli" has Yu Xiansheng's seat, the seat of the honorable person and the seat of the gentleman. (Editor's Note: Quli is a part of the Book of Rites)

4. Justice: "Zi", Confucius calls himself. The case "Biography of the Ram" said: "A son is also called a person."

5. The case of "Book of Rites Sacrifice Righteousness" Zeng Ziyun: "The foundation of all peoples teaches filial piety." Shangshu: "Respect and teach five religions." The translator calls godfather honest, godmother kind, brother friendly, brother respectful and son filial.

6, righteousness: the body is called a bow, the body is called four branches, the hair is called hair, and the skin is called skin. "Li Yun" said: "All four bodies are upright, and the skin is full of leather." "Poetry" says: "Hair is like a cloud." (Editor's Note: Li Yun is the Book of Rites, and the poem is the Book of Songs)

7, the cloud "so dare not damage", damage is insulting, and injury is damaging. So the master said, "It's okay if you don't lose your body." The same is true of Zheng Zhu's Zhou Li's "Don't Kill" cloud "Blood Pain".

8. "Daya" says:' If you don't remember your ancestors, you will lose your virtue.' "Poetic elegance" also. No thoughts, no thoughts. (Editor's note: elegance, poetry, that is, the book of songs is elegant)

9. "Jue, it is also" and "Interpretation". (Editor's note: "Shi" means "Er Ya Shi")

As can be seen from the above nine excerpts, the first chapter of Xiao Jing Zhu quotes the original text of Thirteen Classics, involving Zuo Zhuan, The Analects of Confucius, The Book of Rites, The Biography of Gongyang in the Spring and Autumn Period, Shangshu, Shijing and Erya in the Spring and Autumn Period. Zhou Li did not quote the original text, but quoted the relevant contents of Zheng Xuan's annotation Zhou Li.

Directly and indirectly, only the annotation of the first chapter in the Thirteen Classics involves the Eight Classics, and the annotation of the eighteenth chapter in the Book of Filial Piety involves the quotation of related classics in almost every chapter.

In addition, I found a problem. Annotations are often abbreviated, such as The Book of Songs. The ancients only wrote the Book of Songs, and some people only wrote book names, such as Shi Yan. If you haven't read Er Ya, you may wonder which book Shi Yan is. After reading it, you will probably know that it is a content in Er Ya.

If the Book of Filial Piety is like this, by extension, the classic annotations in the Four Books and Five Classics will also involve a large number of quotations from related sentences in the Thirteen Classics.

If you don't know the general situation and general content of the Thirteen Classics, you should always look it up.

? I thought at that time: If we can have an overall overview of the Thirteen Classics in the subsequent reading, will it be easier to read the annotations and have a familiar feeling when we meet a certain sentence and know a certain chapter in a book?

At this time, I had the idea of knowing the Thirteen Classics.

After reading the Preface to the Filial Piety, Huang Kan said, "The Confucian classics remain unchanged, and so does the Buddhism. The teaching of this scripture still has a long way to go. Although there are changes from time to time, stones can be eliminated, but they are unchanged and immortal. For the scale of EMI, the capital of life is its law. "

It feels particularly shocking. It's a pity that I have never read such a good classic in my life. Make up your mind now: From now on, you will devote your life to the study and promotion of Confucian classics and insist on reading every day. At the same time, I had a bold idea: read through the thirteen classics!

Thirteen Classics are thirteen Confucian classics formed in the Southern Song Dynasty. They are Zhouyi, Shangshu, The Book of Songs, Zhou Li, Yi Li, Li Ji, Zuo Zhuan, Yang Gongzhuan in the Spring and Autumn Period, Liang Yingzhuan in the Spring and Autumn Period, The Analects of Confucius, Xiao Jing, Er Ya and Mencius.

The deeper you go into traditional culture and get in touch with relevant materials, the more you can feel the importance of classics and classics.

| The importance of Confucian classics? |

"Wen Xin Diao Jing" said: "Three are easy to train, and their books are called classics. The classics are eternal and supreme, and they are not published. "

Mr. Ma Yifu put forward the incisive viewpoints of "six arts in one", "six arts in one" and "six arts in one in western learning".

Mr. Ma Yifu followed the original name of the classic of the Han Dynasty, and the six arts were the six classics. He said: "Classics are always there, and words are called classics." Art or tree art is the art of teaching Chinese characters. "Six arts, namely, poetry, Shu, Li, Yue, Yi, Spring and Autumn, are also taught by Confucius. In the past two thousand years, China has generally recognized that all academic origins come from this, and the rest are tributaries of the Six Arts. Therefore, all schools can take the Six Arts test, and all schools can't take the Six Arts test. The Complete Works of Ma Yifu (Volume I)

Mr. Qian Mu once said: There are two greatest academic authorities in China: Confucius and Six Classics. Confucius is the highest personality standard in China's academic history, and Six Classics is the highest writing standard in China's academic history. It has been 2400 years since Confucius, and scholars say that Confucius must reach the Six Classics, and those who govern the Six Classics must also reach Confucius. [Qian Mu's Introduction to China Studies, Kyushu Publishing House, 20 1 1, 1, 3 pages. ]

194 1 year, Mr. Gu Jiegang wrote "Thirteen Classics and New Sources to be Published", in which he warned: "The Thirteen Classics are the core of our culture. Since modern times, foreign invasion has become increasingly urgent, which has shocked the whole country and made it impossible to prevent it. Since the abolition of the imperial examination, it is absurd to say that the study of Confucian classics has nothing to do with personnel, that the master is dying, and that he hesitates what to study in the future. If you don't change this way, you will die after studying for decades. Can my national spirit deviate from its original? "

This statement is shocking!

In the article Confucianism is the mainstream of Chinese studies and Confucian classics is the core, Mr. Li Xueqin commented on the abolition of Confucian classics: "At that time, Mr. Cai Yuanpei made such a decision because he emphasized the acceptance of western learning. How to evaluate this problem, everyone can have different views. However, after the cancellation of Confucian classics, looking back decades later, we did find a problem, that is, Confucian classics became a forbidden area for a long time, and few people were willing to study it and get in touch with it. "

Thirteen Classics is the ancestor of handed down documents and the source and backbone of Confucianism. Its content is extensive and profound, including many aspects of traditional culture, such as the thinking mode of harmony between man and nature, the ideal of harmony in the world, the principle of people-oriented governance, the ethical proposition of harmonious interpersonal relationship, the spirit of unremitting struggle and so on. The essence of these thoughts and spirits permeates the national character and psychology, and has a strong cohesion, which still has a positive impact.

Confucian culture has long been in a dominant position in ancient culture. As a classic of Confucian culture, the Thirteen Classics has unparalleled respect and far-reaching influence. The supreme ruler not only seeks the strategy of governing the country and leveling the world, but also follows the Confucian classics to standardize the thoughts of his subjects, establish ethics and morality, and guide the folk customs. The influence of Confucian classics on society is ever-present and ubiquitous. To understand and study all aspects of China's history and society, we must read the Thirteen Classics.

| Read the Thirteen Classics at least once in your life? |

In my mind, the Thirteen Classics is like a towering mountain, towering into the sky and making people unattainable.

Think about it, if you read 100 times every time, then read the notes, and then read the next classic one by one, I wonder when you can read the Thirteen Classics again.

In this middle age, there is a faint sadness in my heart: as a lover of traditional culture, it is always a pity to think about it if I have not read the thirteen classics of China traditional culture.

See a content in the ancient and modern celebrity reading law:

"The foundation is mechanics first, and mechanics is based on reading. Today, six classics, Analects of Confucius, Mencius and filial piety are the words: Mao Shi 39 124; Twenty-five thousand seven hundred words in Shangshu; " The Book of Rites is 45,866 words; The Book of Rites is 99,200 words; Twenty-four thousand two hundred and seven words in Zhouyi; Zuo's Biography in the Spring and Autumn Period 196845 words; Twelve thousand seven hundred words in The Analects of Confucius; Mencius 34685 words; The Book of Filial Piety is 1,933 words. Nine has a length of 484,995 words, mainly Chinese talents. Recite 300 words a day and you can finish it in four and a half years; Or if the talent is a little slow, it will be halved, and you can recite 150 words a day for nine years. If you can read and review carefully, you will be deeply impressed with it and will never forget it. It's all in your ears. As the proverb goes, "one foot is made for every inch of silk;" Inch by inch, it became a horse. Although this language is small, it can be said to be big. Encourage it in later life. "

This passage is even more wonderful. I want to challenge the idea of reading through all the original texts of the Thirteen Classics. Although this is not familiar reading and reciting, after reading the Thirteen Classics, you can go back and choose the classics you are interested in.

With this idea, I was very excited, so I had the desire to find like-minded people to stick to it together. This is undoubtedly a "long March reading", hoping to see "a single spark can start a prairie fire."
