"The traditional culture in my eyes" as the theme of the 1500-word essay

What is loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness? What is faith, etiquette, wisdom and courage? Nowadays, you can only see them by looking at the street signs in Taipei. The anecdotal order that was maintained by the way of the "ruler, minister, father, father and son" is no longer coming back, and it has also cut off our connection with "loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness". "Faith, etiquette, wisdom and courage" is at least a common philosophy of survival and basic requirements of all societies, but we have grafted on the Western values, in the Confucian word shell, the connotation is no longer.

The ancients once regarded moral cultivation as the ultimate pursuit of life, but in today's globalized world, personal struggles, happiness and freedom are more important than morality, and today's children have a lot of other things to do.

The Four Books and Five Classics

Once upon a time, students were expected to know the Four Books and Five Classics by heart before the age of 15, and almost all of them were "bible worshippers," whose knowledge of the classics would make today's Ph.D. students in ancient literature despair.

The first chief education officer of the Nationalist government decreed on Jan. 19, 1912 that When the first Chief Education Officer of the National Government decreed that "the reading of the Bible in primary schools should be abolished," it was a feat of emancipation; as a consequence, nearly a century later, not many people can answer what the Four Books and Five Classics are anymore. Children are baffled by the pillar system of thought in ancient China represented by the University, the Meanwhile, the Analects, and the Mencius; the I Ching, the Shang Shu, the Book of Poetry, the Book of Rites, and the Zuo Zhuan. Now, Shu Yi has founded a modern private school in Beijing that specializes in teaching the Four Books and Five Classics.

On the lack of traditional culture

The main reasons for the poor quality of China's people or the lack of traditional culture today can be summarized in at least three ways.

The first, perhaps, is that most people have to mention the lagging economic conditions in China, a huge country, the investment in national education is obviously far from enough, which to a large extent widens the gap between the Chinese nationals and citizens of other civilized countries, this gap is not inherently decided, only that we emulate the Western civilization, we are catching up with many aspects of their civilized rules, which naturally leads to a lack of traditional culture, which is the result of the lack of traditional culture in China. It is just that we are following the Western civilization and we are catching up with them in many aspects and have to adapt to their rules of civilization, which naturally reveals the gap, and there is bound to be an adaptation process.

Second, traditional culture has not been well inherited and carried forward. There is no doubt that China's 5,000 years of civilization has left behind endless wealth for future generations, including the essence of traditional culture and spiritual civilization, but why is the shadow of this traditional spirit becoming more and more blurred in modern Chinese people as each generation changes? In fact, China has been an open and civilized country since ancient times, and this was particularly obvious before the Tang and Song dynasties. It was only after the Cheng-Zhu school of reasoning was frantically promoted by the rulers and domesticated by the people that the real stubbornness and intransigence of the country began. The whole country's ignorance of the world naturally prevented it from keeping pace with civilization. Thereafter, in the New Culture Movement which was launched with great vigor at the beginning of the last century, it was right to attack the feudal and ignorant Rigaku and the backward rites and teachings, but it was not wise enough to reject and discard the thinking of Confucianism and the traditional culture in the process. After that, it is only now, nearly a hundred years later, that people living in modern times have come to realize that Confucianism and traditional culture are valuable assets of the Chinese nation that have been handed down from one generation to the next, that they are the bloodline of our nation, and that they are the backbone of our nation, and that without a profound traditional culture, we will become barbaric and ignorant, and that without the knowledge and understanding of traditions, we will become shallow and ignorant. And at this time, we have indeed been close to the good things of the old ancestors to lose all the scattered, dangerous ah!

The third is the lack of faith in the nation. In fact, this problem is triggered by the second point. Before the Tang and Song dynasties, China was a country that embraced all kinds of religions and beliefs, as evidenced by the development and evolution of Buddhism and Islam in China's history, including China's own religion, Taoism. Regardless of the religion, it was inevitable that it would be utilized by the regime. Putting this aside, all these religions, without exception, demanded goodness in the indoctrination of their followers. However, with the turbulent times since the Ming and Qing dynasties, the role of religion in the center of the Chinese regime has not been put to good use, and the rulers and leaders of China over the centuries have not emphasized too much on the role of religion, and, I should say, have always remained relatively cautious about religion. To this day, the Chinese nation lacks a national faith similar to Western Christianity, and the burden of cultivating the nation's morality and spirituality has fallen on the shoulders of the government, which is already overburdened with responsibilities, invariably placing enormous pressure on the regime. Religion is the baptism of the human spirit and mind. Religion has always been combined with the regime, either used by the regime or part of the regime itself, which is in fact nothing to be ashamed of. In the absence of a religion to educate the people, the state power can only improve society and advocate a new culture through other means, and this task is very difficult. I am a girl from an authentic intellectual family. My father did eight years in the army as a clerk after the transfer to the local equivalent of the work of the secretary, my mother has been in junior high school as an English teacher, counting twenty-five years of teaching experience. My father had a refined sense of humor, loved to raise flowers, play chess, fishing, and wrote beautiful clerical and regular script, and his writing was also quite good. Before I was in the third grade of elementary school, my family was in financial straits, and my father used his writing fees to make sure that my family of four (including my younger brother) had meat to eat every day. I grew up in such a family, feeling the splendor and shame of traditional Chinese culture with my own simple heart.　　Probably because my father's generation had been "baptized" by the ten-year "Cultural Revolution", the regret of not being able to stop studying made my coming to the world covered with the hope of "starlight". My father had high expectations for me. In my memory, I did not memorize the "Nine-Nine Multiplication Table" and other small mistakes and my father stripped naked with a belt to beat the pain as the sun behind the iceberg, a touch will be out, pumping me trembling, shivering. The Japanese kid's big knife in the eyes of the Chinese people carved shame, I therefore became "science and technology is the first productive force", "backwardness will be beaten", "learn mathematics, science and chemistry, all over the world are not afraid of! "all kinds of dogma believers in the realization of the ideal tool, although I am quite talented in literature and art, but the hobby of writing, singing, speech has always been suppressed by my parents, language scores in the top, vocal competition won the first, the speech contest champion in the hand and math scores far in the class after twenty, physics has never been on the 60 points (out of 70), chemistry can not get 45 points (out of The stark contrast between my math grades, which were well behind the 20th percentile, my physics grades, which were never 60 (out of 70), and my chemistry grades, which were never 45 (out of 50), became a source of shame for my parents, and a topic of cynicism for their coworkers, a bunch of pretentious clowns. I grew up in such an atmosphere. Today, I will use my pen to scrutinize the milk and dregs of traditional Chinese culture as a bystander.　　I. About Diet "Food is the God of the people." I don't know when this saying was born, but it rather summarizes the dietary psychology of Chinese people. "People eat for heaven", eating is the most fundamental, "man is iron, rice is steel, a meal is not eaten hunger," "loss of what can not lose the stomach,"" The only way to talk about other things is to have enough to eat. Therefore, Chinese culture is to eat eat out.　　Chinese people pay attention to diet, so will give birth to a bunch of dishes to satisfy the appetite, so will interpret a bunch of folk specialties about the "moving legend", so will raise a bunch of words related to food. Eat enough to meet the most basic physiological needs is just, Chinese scholars and writers have to make a bunch of "eat" words, "eat" idioms, the formation of a "pan-foodism". A great view: thinking that chewing, experience that taste, jealousy that jealousy, happiness that intoxication, commonplace that is a common meal, easy to say for a piece of cake, the learning style of impetuous that is a shallow taste, understanding of a deep that is to eat through the spirit of the widely circulated that is popular to change the situation that is bitter and sweet, and what to eat loss, eat bad, eat outside, what eat alive, gulp jujube, show that can be eaten, eat the ancient not to melt! What "eat small stove", "eat lawsuit", "eat kickbacks", what "eat dumb loss", "Eat the closed door", no matter eat did not eat, eat what, always can not leave a mouth, generalized to the superstructure, noble into the dinner table to talk about politics. Chinese politics, to put it bluntly, is to eat, whether it is the original people or central leaders, whether it is the "southern barbarians" or "noble" Han people, whether they eat venison or after a few procedures to detect the safety of harmless lean pork, whether they drink milk wine Whether to drink milk wine or "unified" fresh orange, all political issues in China are discussed at the dinner table, "politics both eat" become the Chinese people *** with the norms to comply with, so the problem of corruption has plagued the Chinese nation for thousands of years without weakening the trend.　　I think, probably our ancestors to find some food is too difficult, which caused the Chinese food culture of "profound", "brilliant", which caused the parents to call and ask "recently eat well? " Such a never-ending question, which has led to the kitchen cabinet "to tie the husband's heart, first to tie his stomach".　　Our ancestors were too lonely, so they came together to form clans and tribes, which led to the formation of "internal and external and affinity", "seniority and inferiority", "superiority and inferiority ", "the barbarians and the officials and the people" of the national psyche, so in the flood of costume dramas, historical dramas there are often due to "the following offenses against the superior", "inferiority offenses against dignity ", "within the outside" and was reprimanded, flogged and even killed in the plot, so there is "parents' orders can not be disobeyed" of the old adage, so I refute the elders point of view, resistance to the parents whipped unreasonably will be met with fury, so parents! The most reasonable thing I said was "How dare you talk back to me?　Chinese culture advocates family-oriented, internal and external differences, which has led to tribal wars, ethnic strife, but also to "the following offender" of the mass struggle has a long history.　　Third, about marriage "marriage is a major event in one's life, especially women." Marriage of the first people is very good to talk about, nothing more than "kiss on kiss", the development of the slave society, the nature of marriage has changed, marriage has become a means to feudal society, marriage is not only out of love development of maturity. The emperor's oldest favorite marriage, women also like to use their own bodies in exchange for power and status, marriage can also make the Han-Hungarian and good, can make China and the international community, the role of marriage can not be underestimated, marriage is not the marriage of the two sides of the matter, but about the family, about the responsibility, about the national righteousness, about the future of the country, so the marriage has fallen into a "marriage without love, Therefore, marriage has fallen into a strange circle of "marriage without love and love without sex". In modern times, the question of whether or not marriage is the grave of love has become an evergreen tree in debates, with countless debaters enjoying it.　　I really don't understand how my parents came together, two people quarrel for more than ten years, to be divided, not divided, to be together, the children have become the bond that maintains the marriage, not divorce the most grandiose reason is that the children, it is not easy to leave the bar and often keep in touch with the other side seems to remember each other's good, the two people are a lot of years of age, still don't know what love is. The failure of my parents' marriage has given me the biggest impact is "not easily give your heart to a man", I'm afraid this is also the reason why many people are single all their lives, "I'd rather not have love than to be hurt in love". However, strangely enough, with the growing power of the single family, hospital gynecology center to request an abortion of the younger girls more and more, China's marriage culture seems to have fallen into a "sex not people" situation.　　Fourth, about faith "Do you have faith?"　"Faith? What is faith?"　"I believe in Jesus, do you? What do you believe?" "I don't believe in anything."　"How can you not believe in anything? How can you not have faith? How can you live without faith?"　"Why should I have faith? You see, I'm not living well without faith?"

"Unbelievable, unbelievable ......"

This is a conversation between a Westerner and a Chinese. The point I'm trying to make is, do Chinese people really have no faith? NO! The Chinese have faith! Chinese culture has faith! The problem is, Chinese people have too many, too chaotic, too changeable beliefs, so, in fact, Chinese people have no beliefs! Chinese culture still has no faith!　　Chinese people believe in heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, but no religious piety; believe in people's integrity, but also very much to the left and right of the policy; believe in etiquette, but the lack of social morality; believe in thrift, but the massive waste; believe in unity and mutual help, but the good "fighting in the nest"; believe in "everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, do not care about other people on the cream "but also good" good things do not go out of the door, bad things spread a thousand miles"; believe in "love the party, love the country and love the people" but extremely scrape the exploitation of the ability to receive the use of corrupt assets; believe in "care for the old and the old, and the young and the young and the young", and "love the old and the young and the young". The belief in "love the Party, love the country and love the people" is characterized by the use of corrupt assets; the belief in "caring for one's own aged and caring for one's own children" is characterized by the scattering of old people and children in every city who have no home to go to, no food to find, and no means of transportation; the belief in "equality between men and women" is characterized by the blatantly stated recruitment condition that "women must be under 45 years of age"; the belief that "Children are the flowers of the motherland and the hope of the nation", but the number of juvenile detention centers is increasing day by day; believe in "gentle and elegant", but enforce "not to beat the untalented"; believe in "Kong Rong letting the pear", but clamor for "the pear is the best"; believe in "the pear is the best", but clamor for "the pear is the best". "but noisy" what I can not get, no one else want to get! The letter "science and education to develop the country, talent to strengthen the country" strategy but let countless students willing to worship "sea of questions" under the wind; letter "teachers are the engineers of the soul of mankind," but forced hundreds of teachers to write a joint letter To ask for a year's salary; believe in "harmonious society" but love to fight; believe in "indifferent to fame and fortune" but see countless writers and writers brush thorns straight to express the life of the uninspired; believe in respect for nature but see the restaurant game is very popular, the zoo in the team of rare animals is growing! ...... Chinese cultural beliefs are too many to mention, even if I believe in "adherence to the truth", in the face of authority also had to restrain the sharpness of the "sensible" move that is called "The fact is that there is no wood to burn, and there is no green mountain to burn.　　Do Chinese people have faith? Yes. It is the same as none.　　Does Chinese culture have faith? Yes. It's the same as none.　　It's better than nothing!　　Fifth, about women This is another sensitive topic. Today in China, whoever stands on the street and yells: "Women are not just a piece of fucking clothing?!" I'm sure he'll be scolded to death.　　To be honest, I personally on the "red face scourge" said quite a few words, men have no virtue, why put the fault on all women, especially beautiful women! Men can have three wives and four concubines, women have an affair will be accused of moral character corruption, men do not shame? It's not that women can't achieve great things, but men don't like and don't allow women to achieve great things and are afraid of them.　　However, the focus of my speech in the "but", because men can have three wives and four concubines, women must also be "three male and four male"? Because men do not like and do not allow more afraid of women to achieve great things women are willing to please the man, die in the kitchen?

Chinese women from history out, wait until today's "equality between men and women", the sad thing is that the meat out, the spirit is still wandering, most women rely on dependence on men and live. Women need to be independent because they are human beings! Women can be independent because they are human beings! Why do countless women who have suffered domestic violence hate men but still "root and branch"? Because "there is a man, at least I have food to eat, have clothes to wear, there is a man, the heart is solid." Foolish!　　Women are not clothes, not tribute, not tools, women are complete people. Do not self-pity and self-pity, do not expect love will give you everything, China's women, should wake up!　　Sixth, about education China's education is very problematic. I don't want to talk about the disadvantages of the famous imperial examination system, but I am more concerned about the education in China today.　　〈1〉 On test-based education and quality education (school education) Quality education in the vast majority of provinces and cities is an empty talk is known to all, the school under the signboard of quality education to engage in test-based education has been an open secret. As a national test education in the famous area of Huanggang under the evil claws out of the students, the hate of test education to the bone since needless to say, I junior high school, high school graduation time is the time can be taken to sell the test papers are more than a meter high, not to mention those who can be collected together with the opening of a bookstore learning materials! In fact, the "sea of questions" is not the drawbacks of test-based education, the drawbacks of test-based education is that students pattern mechanized to accept the teacher's transmission of knowledge, thinking in a fixed "standard answer" under the limitations of the tendency to rigidity, so that students slowly lose the impulse to question and the ability to think. The students slowly lose the urge to question and the ability to think. Why is it that there are so many excellent university graduates in China today, and yet China's science and technology, literature, art, and other aspects have produced few achievements that have made great contributions to human society? Why is it that even the Chinese themselves despise the innovation ability of the Chinese people? Shouldn't Chinese people think about the reasons for this?　　Let's talk about school education at all stages.　　In my personal opinion, among the primary, middle, high school and university education in China today, the biggest failure is the middle school education. In elementary school, although parents, teachers in the "test-oriented education, quality education as a supplement" policy under the guidance of the child to bear too much pressure, but after all, it is still not careful to let the child's moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor balanced development; in high school, the teacher understands profoundly the promotion of the destiny of a child's life means, so it will do everything possible to not give up any student. Every effort is made not to give up any student, and strive to help each child get into the ideal university; in college, although the full freedom has made many college students lost their way, but after all, bigger is still bigger, college students will always have their own judgment, and most of them are still able to grasp their own destiny; and in junior high school, the children are in the period of adolescence when the physiological and psychological changes take place, and they most need the family, Schools, society **** the same subtle care, but the vast majority of teachers are eager to make quick profits, the pursuit of key high school high rate of advancement, the majority of students do not care or simply is not painful false concern, and even worse, discrimination against non-tip students, resulting in a class of students in the class of students polarization is serious, the students "level of contradiction" is sharp. These injuries reflected in the learning can also be seen, reflected to the child's heart as the sun can not stop the cover of dark clouds, serious negative impact in the child's heart slowly grows, in the teacher's parents inadvertently, once well-behaved and obedient children as if in the evil like, all of a sudden become a different person, obsessed with online games, gambling, fights, killings, and looking for excitement in the pornographic places. The flowers of our motherland are abusing, harming and destroying themselves! Our teachers in the mouth to educate children should do what should not do what time, should not reflect on their own faults?　　〈2〉About family education "Parents are the first teachers of their children." I think this sentence for the vast majority of parents in China is nonsense. Who all want their children to excel in both character and learning, "excellence in both character and learning" this four words weigh ah, but unfortunately very few parents in the order of the child to do what to do or reprimand the child should not do what to do when they realize that such mistakes they have made many times, it is no wonder that the Chinese children in the depths of their hearts are generally hidden in the repressed rebellious mentality! It is no wonder that the popular reason for children to be scolded and beaten is "you dare to talk back to me, against you!　〈3〉 On social education Actually, there is not enough reason to list this aspect separately. There are many problems in Chinese society today, and it is not surprising that there are deficiencies in education. I think, society's influence on people is often microscopic, but penetrated into every aspect of each individual, so all the problems mentioned above in the performance of students can be expected. What saddens me is that there are many people who realize the existence and seriousness of the problems, but those who have the ability to take measures to solve the problems, even if it means weakening them, seldom make any big moves. In fact, this can not be blamed entirely on them, not the so-called "social existence determines social consciousness"? Born in China, grew up in China, who can escape the influence of the environment?

CCTV's public morality advertisements are new, as for the effect of how I still do not know, just expect our society to these we need to love and do not know love, often make mistakes in the love of the flowers more understanding, more respect, more care, do not let those budding flowers lose the opportunity to have a spring. After all, they are still just children.　　Sprinkled with thirteen pages of paper, most of which are critical of the current situation, but this does not mean that I am a "cynic", just because the Chinese people have heard a lot of "Chinese civilization has a long history, brilliant", I am worried that our nation will take its own destruction will be these clichés! I am afraid that our nation will be self-destructive, and that is why I have taken these clichés out and tossed them around endlessly.　　Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, heartache is heartache, what our nation needs is not only reflection, but more importantly, action after reflection. As a student of Chinese as a foreign language, what I want to do is to spread Chinese civilization. To this end, I have been quietly working hard, and I hope that I can use my little power to prove to the world: Chinese people, OK! Chinese culture is marvelous! I want to use my weak voice to awaken every Chinese person's real, sincere and genuine patriotic passion to fight for the rise of the motherland, to fight for the harmony of the world, and to fight for the progress of mankind!　　If every individual is strong, why not worry about China's wealth and strength?　　If every individual is strong, why should human civilization worry about stagnation?　　Self-improvement and birth, don't forget, this is also the spirit of the excellent traditional Chinese culture! Two articles of your choice!
