Chinese characters are an important carrier of traditional culture in China, which embodies the essence of 5,000 years of civilization. Chinese characters are ideographic characters, which are a combination of form, sound and meaning. They express their meaning through form, that is, they know what they mean when they see the form. Therefore, every word has its rich cultural connotation. Chinese characters are sacred words. When the ancients coined words, they also incorporated their own moral standards into word formation. The connotation of orthodox Chinese characters reflects the ancient people's concept of respecting heaven and god and their obedience to traditional ethics.

What is "words"? Yun: "Wen" is also a wrong painting, shaped like Jiao Wen, and the word is "Wen". It means to outline the image of things as a whole, and the strokes are intertwined and cannot be deconstructed; "Image is tangible" and "pictographic"; The word "Wen" refers to "Wen", which means the texture and grain of things and extends to the laws, rules and similarities of all things.

Text is the carrier of text. Yun: "I wrote a book at the beginning, which looks like hieroglyphics, so it is called Wen." After the shape and sound are mutually beneficial, it is called one word. "

Writing is a tool for inheriting culture and civilization. Chinese characters are also an important part of traditional culture. Here are some examples.

"Politeness"

"Li" and "Feng" are ancient sacrificial utensils. When it is used to serve the gods, it is called a ceremony, which means offering sacrifices and showing respect and respect to the gods. As the radical of Chinese characters, the word "Shi" can completely express yin and yang, and everything should follow this law and never deviate. As the saying goes, "reciprocity."

As a ritual of the ancients, on the one hand, it is to sacrifice to the gods and pray for blessing; But its most fundamental purpose is to publish a newspaper. Xunzi once said that there are three books of ceremony: "There are three books of ceremony, namely, ceremony for heaven, ceremony for land, respect for ancestors and promotion to teachers." Sacrifice to heaven, land, ancestors and teachers are the three foundations of etiquette. It is the gift of heaven, the meaning of the earth, and the most important order and rule between heaven and earth. Kong Ziyun: "see no evil, don't listen to evil, don't say evil, don't move if you are evil."

Confucius advocated the rule of virtue, that is, "Tao should be virtuous and qi should be polite." As the specific content of ethics, "courtesy" includes filial piety, kindness, courtesy, obedience, respect, harmony, benevolence and righteousness. Politeness is also used to identify relatives and friends, determine doubts and distinguish right from wrong. Say: "Rites are the body. The font is also right. " Yue: "Faith is the foundation of courtesy; Righteousness, courtesy also. Nothing can stand and nothing can be done. "

There is a saying that "if you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand up" and "if you are learned, you can agree on etiquette", which means that etiquette is the basis and standard of a person's behavior. The gentleman put forward that benevolence and righteousness are the most important, treat people with courtesy, cultivate good manners, be neat and orderly, and have fun with heaven.

If you can't fight, your heart will be quiet. Silence is a kind of serenity, a kind of complacency and a distant realm. We can get wisdom and inspiration from it, and get some enlightenment. Therefore, the ancients often said that "life is quiet and natural" and "meditation". Self-cultivation requires peace of mind.
