Qian Wenzhong's interpretation of the sacred amethyst: the first lecture at the beginning of life, human nature is good.

The first lecture is about the beginning of life, and its nature is good.

People on earth are good at living. The same nature varies from upbringing to upbringing. Without education, there will be deviations. In order to teach well, you should think deeply. Chu: Newborns are just beginning to have life. G: If. Sex: nature. Teaching: discipline and guidance. Ben: So, so. Move: change, change. Sex: temperament. Tao: This refers to the method. Xi: Habitual dyeing, which is cultivated in a certain environment for a long time: attention and attention. Features. Specialty: single-minded.

Section 1: At the beginning of life, human nature is good.

Why is an ancient children's enlightenment book, a traditional children's literacy textbook, respected as the three-character classic? Why did it spread widely when it came out? What's the meaning behind seemingly simple words?

Every time we start school, we will see many lovely children carrying big and heavy schoolbags with all kinds of textbooks. Textbooks are classified into different categories, including Chinese, mathematics and foreign languages. They are beautifully printed and uniformly compiled and distributed by the national education department. This is a modern child. Then we can't help asking, what do children in traditional China use as teaching materials? What kind of teaching materials should be used for enlightenment? Of course, there is no doubt that there are, but there were no enlightenment textbooks arranged by the government at that time!

As early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, a large number of such textbooks appeared, such as Cang Xie, Fan Jiang, Jijie and so on. They have a * * * feature. They use very neat sentences that are catchy and easy to remember, such as four words and one sentence, to teach children to read and convey some basic truths. But these books, like those I just said, have not been preserved today. Today, even if some people become university professors, the books they may never finish reading are the first books for children of that era.

After the Song Dynasty in China, a sacred amethyst suddenly appeared with unknown origin. We don't even know who its author is. And this kind of "sacred amethyst" has been spread from the Song Dynasty to today. This book has its own characteristics from content to form. Formally, three words and one sentence are catchy, easy to remember and can be sung in ancient times. In many areas today, such as Hakkas, we know that they mainly live in Meizhou, Guangdong, or Fujian, and they can still sing three-character classics like ballads. In terms of content, it brings together the most important morality and knowledge in China's long-standing traditional society in the simplest sentence and the most concise way. It is precisely because of this that the sacred amethyst has been circulating. This kind of traditional enlightenment books popular in China after the Song Dynasty are mainly what we usually call "Three Thousand", namely "Three", "Hundred Family Names" and "Qian", all of which are children's enlightenment books. As soon as I heard this "3000", I immediately had a feeling. Why is only Saint Amethyst called "Jing"? Why don't hundreds of surnames be called classics? Why is money not called money? This shows the importance of Saint Amethyst.

Section 2: The beginning of life is good in essence.

In traditional culture, calling a book "Jing" is a supreme status and honor. Throughout the ages, in the long history of thousands of years, countless Chinese sons and daughters have started their study career by relying on the Three-Character Classics. More people may be illiterate and may not have the opportunity to receive education, but they have also listened to the Three-Character Classics since childhood, but they are not necessarily impressed by the Three-Character Classics, and they have also learned the essence of China traditional culture. Saint Amethyst is such an important classic of traditional enlightenment.

Maybe everyone will say, since it is a book for children, it must be very simple. What is there to talk about? This view is wrong! Saint Amethyst is indeed very concise, but because of this, it embodies the deepest cultural tradition in the most concise and lively way. Therefore, we must read and experience with our heart, so that we can truly understand the cultural information transmitted by Saint Amethyst, understand why Saint Amethyst has been passed down to this day, and understand the irreplaceable significance of Saint Amethyst to China people, especially to children who are still studying today.

Why is a children's enlightenment book known as "Saint Amethyst"? What is the meaning behind seemingly easy-to-understand words?

I think everyone in China knows what the first six words in San Zi Jing are. "At the beginning of life, human nature is good." Literally, these six words mean that people are born with good nature. Just behind these seemingly simple six words, there are very rich and profound cultural connotations. It is a philosophical question about the nature of human nature. In other words, what is human nature? Is human nature good or evil? All cultural traditions, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, cannot avoid the problem of human nature, because in any case, we must first know ourselves and people. In the traditional culture of China, the discussion about the theory of human nature is rich and colorful. In the pre-Qin period, there were three schools in the Confucian tradition.

Section 3: The beginning of life is good in essence.

A school, according to Confucius. What did Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, say? This is followed by the last six words in the San Zi Jing, "Sex is similar, but learning is far from it." Confucius believes that the gap between human nature is not too big, and it will get bigger and bigger due to the influence of the day after tomorrow and the influence of the environment. This is what Confucius said. In other words, Confucius did not tell us whether human nature is good or evil, but left a suspense. One school, Xunzi's statement. Xunzi is also a very important thinker of Confucianism, and even has a deep relationship with Legalists. Xunzi's viewpoint is "inherent vice was born at the beginning". It is Xunzi's view that human nature is evil, which is easier for us to understand. Because we see a child born, born, hungry, he will suck. Does he care that his mother is tired? Does he care if his mother has breast milk? Will he consider whether his mother is ill? No, he must breastfeed. And if there are several children, there may be several children vying for milk. From this perspective, human nature is good.

So whose idea is "at the beginning of life, human nature is good"? This is Mencius' thought, the "Yasheng" school. But this is not accurate. Mencius did not say that "nature is good at the beginning of life". His exact view is that human nature is good. As for the distinction between good and evil in human nature, in fact, Chinese and western cultures have embarked on different development tracks from here. We use the simplest method to illustrate this problem. In the western cultural tradition, it is believed that everyone is guilty, everyone has original sin, and only God is innocent, that is, "the beginning of life is the inherent evil". Just because everyone is guilty, no one can be trusted. In terms of social management and operation, we can't give all power to a few people, because everyone is at fault. So, what should we do? Management power and management power are mutually dispersed, supervised and independent, and strict system constraints are created, thus western cultural traditions develop. The mainstream of China's cultural tradition is the six words after the San Zi Jing, that is, the thought of "human nature is good" handed down by Mencius. We believe that everyone is kind in nature and conscious. The so-called streets are full of saints, and everyone can be Yao and Shun. Does it need a system? Everyone is conscious. Everyone knows not to cross the road at a red light, everyone knows not to spit everywhere, and everyone should know not to harm the interests of others. The main thing should be to educate him, guide him and cultivate him, not to standardize him with the system. So don't underestimate these six words, which have a very profound meaning.

Section 4: The beginning of life is good in essence.

Even within Confucianism in China, there are different views on whether human nature is good or evil. There are three viewpoints: the theory of good nature, the theory of evil nature and the theory of good and evil. The debate has never stopped, which fully shows the complexity of human nature. Mencius proved his "theory of good nature" for many reasons, the most important of which is the "four-mind theory". So what did Mencius say? Why did Mencius say that "nature is good at the beginning of life"? Or, why does everyone think that Mencius has such an opinion? What is the reason why Mencius said this? As a great thinker, Mencius certainly did not talk nonsense. He thinks that "beginning of life is inherently good" naturally has his reasons. Among Mencius, there is an article called "Gong Sun Ugly Merchants", which contains his words, "Without compassion, it is inhuman. Shameless and evil, inhuman. It is inhuman to have no resignation. If there is no right and wrong, it is inhuman. " Mencius believed that people should have these four kinds of hearts. Compassion is a kind of sympathy; Shame and evil heart, a feeling of embarrassment, shame and introspection; In the heart of resignation, you should know that you should be humble and settle for second best; We should also have a heart of right and wrong and know what is right and wrong. He believes that people must have these four kinds of hearts, without which they cannot be called human beings. This is Mencius' view. We can cite many examples to illustrate this view of Mencius.

"Without compassion, it is inhuman." We can use Mencius' own example to illustrate. There is an example in Mencius, which is also a very famous story of Sun Yat-sen's ugly business in Mencius. The original text is like this: "At first glance, people today are full of compassion, either because they are committed to their parents, because they want to be praised by their hometown friends, or because they hate their own voices." What do you mean? Ancient settlements centered on wells. Generally speaking, there are well field and well field on the well to prevent children and some small livestock from falling in. If we see a child fall into a well by the well, everyone will feel sorry for him. What did Mencius think? Mencius felt that everyone would be worried and sympathetic. Children will drown if they fall. Why is this happening? It's not because you are friends with this child's parents. Maybe you don't know them at all. It's not because you think that if you save this child and help him, you can gain the reputation of giving yourself up to save others among the friends of the township party. It wasn't because the child didn't dare to scream. You think the child's voice is really harsh and ugly. Mencius means that because everyone has compassion, everyone will be anxious when they see a child fall into a well. This is an example given by Mencius himself.

Section 5: The beginning of life is good in essence.

"Shameless and evil, inhuman." This is easier for us to understand. Everyone has a shy heart. For example, there is a very famous movie star Marilyn Monroe in the United States. She has a picture that has spread all over the world: she is walking on the road in a skirt, passing through an underground air outlet, and an atmospheric wave suddenly surges from the underground air outlet, blowing Monroe's skirt. Monroe's subconscious action was to quickly cover her skirt. What is this? What a pity! She felt shy, so she quickly covered her skirt. Shame and evil are everywhere in the world. Of course, shame is not necessarily the same in different ethnic groups. Some ethnic groups think I am too shy to do so, and some ethnic groups may not. Some people think this matter is very important, and I have to protect it first, while others think it is unnecessary.

For example, there is a story in which three girls stand together in beautiful hats and skirts. Suddenly there was a gust of wind, and a girl was covering her hat and ignoring her skirt. What about the other girl? Cover your skirt and ignore your hat. There is also a girl with a hat in one hand and a skirt in the other. What three countries are these three girls from? The answer is that the person wearing the hat is an American, because the hat blew away and she had to spend money to buy it. She doesn't do that. She is ashamed of it, but not so ashamed to blow up a skirt and let the spring breeze blow out. The people in skirts and hats are Japanese. The Japanese said, I can buy another hat if I blow it off, but my skirt won't blow up. The other is from China, of course. I don't want to lose my hat and my skirt won't blow up. This shows that people's feelings of shame and evil are different between nations.

"uncompromising" and "right and wrong" are easier to understand and will be involved in the future, so I won't talk about them here for the time being.

Mencius believed that a person should have these four kinds of hearts. If there is no compassion, no shame, no concession, no right and wrong, then it is not a person. This is Mencius' theory. But how to prove that all people in the world have these four kinds of hearts? Mencius explained it himself. In the article "Mencius Gaozi", he gave an example, "As the saying goes, the mouth tastes similar; The ear is to the sound, and there is the same hearing; There are similarities and differences in color of eyes. As for the heart, is it unique? What is the same as the heart? It is also reasonable and justified. " "Mouth and taste are the same thing." Each of us has the same taste for good food, and we all know to eat good food. As for "what is the sound in the ear?", that is to say, everyone likes listening to good music. For example, I take an iron piece and scrape it back and forth on the glass plate. Nobody likes it, but everyone likes listening to beautiful music. "Eyes are more important than color, and beauty has similarities and differences", that is, eyes like to see beautiful things. Horrible, dirty, filthy, we don't want to see them. Mouth, ears and eyes are all the same, so are people's hearts? In fact, this statement is problematic. I really don't think it's as delicious as you think. Who says people all taste the same? We can cite counterexamples. Who says people who appreciate music feel the same way? For example, many young people like listening to rock music now, but I don't. I prefer listening to classical music. Who said the same?

Section 6: The beginning of life is good in essence.

We can cite many historical examples to prove that the problem of human nature is very complicated.

I'll tell you a story about Cao Cao's son.

As we all know, it is said that Cao Cao has four sons.

Cao Zhi is brilliant, upright and very gentle. How talented is Cao Zhi? Hundreds of years after Cao Zhi's death, there was a man named Xie Lingyun who was also a great genius. He said that if the talents of poets in the world are as heavy as stones, Cao Zhi alone accounts for eight fights. Whose are the remaining two buckets? Xie Lingyun is also welcome. He has his own bucket. So whose is the other bucket? Others in China will share it. Xie Lingyun is so arrogant and talented that he wants to think that Cao Zhi has eight fights. This is the origin of the idiom "talented people". However, Cao Zhi's nature made him feel that his position was decided by heaven and he didn't have to struggle to inherit his father Cao Cao.

Cao Pi, also famous, and Cao Zhi are brothers, both sons of Cao Cao, but the nature of these two brothers is too far apart. Cao Pi also has literary talent and poems handed down from generation to generation, but I'm afraid it's too far behind Cao Zhi. He can only share the battle with others, because his brother alone took up eight battles. He is also good at dancing with guns and playing with sticks, and he is very good at fencing. In the history of China Wushu, Cao Pi occupies a place. At the same time, this person is very possessive. For example, when Cao Jun captured Yecheng, what did Xelloss do first? He didn't order the generals to appease the people, nor did he go to the warehouse to see what the spoils were. But rushed to Yuan's house and took Yuan's wife, Zhen Shi, as a wife, because Zhen Shi was beautiful, which showed that he was possessive. At the same time, he is keen and rich. Cao Cao has a brother named Cao Hong, who is Cao Pi's uncle. This uncle is also extremely rich and very stingy, and he never wants to share his money with others. How possessive is Cao Pi? He can pluck hair from this miser uncle by hook or by crook. How to pull it? Go and borrow money from your uncle. People don't want to borrow money. You won't borrow it, will you? You won't lend me to torture you. He tried his best to help his uncle Cao Hong, and finally lent him the money. As for how he succeeded Cao Cao later, everyone knows. He doesn't associate with Cao Zhi, but they are brothers.

Section 7: The beginning of life is good in essence.

"Boil beans and burn beans, and beans cry in the kettle." We are born from the same root. What's the hurry? "According to legend, this is a seven-step poem written by Cao Zhi in" Talents ",which is a query to his younger brother Cao Pi who is eager to persecute him, and also a portrayal of the real relationship between them. Why is the gap between brothers so big? What are their other two brothers like?

Cao Cao also has a son named Cao Zhang, nicknamed Huang Shuer. His hair and beard may be yellow, and he is tough. There is no record in the history books that he is good at writing poems, only that he has infinite strength, superb martial arts and superb archery. He can shoot a hair a hundred meters away. How strong is it? Once, Cao Zhang had a fight with a tiger. He wrapped the tiger's tail around his arm, so the tiger couldn't move. The tiger is not as strong as him. He held back. It is said that Cao Zhang once found an elephant to fight. It is estimated that fighting with others is really not enough. No one can beat him. He once put the elephant on the ground, but the elephant could not move. Later, Cao Cao saw Ma Chao galloping on the battlefield, invincible. Cao Cao sighed, if his son Cao Zhang were here, what would happen to you Ma Chao? Visible, Cao Zhang's character is brave and tenacious, infinite strength, nothing scheming.

Cao Cao also has a son named Cao Chong, who is a famous child prodigy in China. "Cao Chong is an elephant" is a famous story. According to historical records, Sun Quan sent an elephant to please Cao Cao at that time. There were few elephants in the Central Plains at that time. When Cao Cao saw such a behemoth, he took his ministers and generals to ponder. How much does this elephant weigh? How do you call it? Guys, nobody knows. Cao Chong was less than ten years old at that time, and he said, "What's so difficult? Bring a boat and put this elephant on the boat, and the boat will sink. " I drew a line next to the boat, and then I took the elephant out, and I knew how much it weighed. "How did he do it? There are two versions. One way of saying this is to move the stones to the boat and move them up one by one. Look at the lines carved by this ship again, and you will be called a stone. Don't you know how much this elephant weighs?

Section 8: The beginning of life is good in essence.

This is the principle of using displacement. There is another saying that is smarter. Cao Chong had buckets of water poured into the boat and connected it to the score line. Then, you can know how many kilograms of water to pour, but the weight of the elephant is unknown. Through these stories, I want to show that Cao Cao's son and his four sons are very different in essence, not like brothers at all. Therefore, we can put a small question mark on the word "human nature is good". However, goodness was originally the beautiful belief and expectation of China culture for human beings. Wen Zhong sent me a message. I think that the words "human nature is good" are the first goodwill and expectation of China culture for human beings. If you understand it this way, I feel safer.

The same parents, the same family environment, even brothers, are very different in essence, which is also a social reality. If nature is determined by nature and can't be changed, then what kind of ideas does Saint Amethyst convey next? "At the beginning of life, human nature is good" is followed by six words: "Similar in sex, far from learning from each other". These six words are from The Analects of Confucius Yang Huo. "At the beginning of life, human nature is good" is said to be Mencius' thought, and the following "human nature is similar, but learning from each other is far from each other" is more in line with Confucius' thought. But there are some contradictions with the previous six words. Since "nature is good at the beginning of life", how did it become "similar in nature and far from each other"? "Sexual similarity", human nature is not far apart. "Learning" here means not learning, but "edifying", influencing, edifying and polluting. The essential difference is not far, but because of the influence of environment and various external environments, the gap is getting bigger and bigger. You can also use this sentence to explain the story I told earlier. Maybe, Cao Zhi, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang and Cao Chong are almost the same when they are three months old. However, due to different growth experiences and different environments, the gap is getting bigger and bigger, which is understandable. In this regard, we must note that the ancients attached great importance to the acquired environment and attached great importance to a person's growth and educational environment. This problem can be explained by a very simple and ancient saying, "It is black near Zhu Zhechi and black near Mexico." This is the problem of edification. There are countless such examples in history.

Section 9: The beginning of life is good in essence.

My hometown is Wuxi, and there is a county named Yixing below Wuxi, which is also a city now. It is a famous pottery bean, which produces purple sand. There are many famous people in the local area, and one of them is probably the most famous, called Zhou Chu, the Zhou Chu of the Jin Dynasty. This man is good in nature, not bad in nature, and a good man. However, since his parents died, no one has educated him, guided him and taught him rules. Slowly fooling around, influenced by bad atmosphere, I grew up to be a very rude, violent and barbaric person. I always fight with people, beat them to the wall and look for teeth everywhere. In this way, people around you hide when they see the beginning of the week, so they can't be taunted. At the beginning of the week, I didn't know it myself, because he didn't have the heart of shame and evil, and he didn't have the heart of right and wrong. This heart was covered up. One day, he suddenly found out: why is everyone avoiding me? He went to ask an elder. This shows that he is not bad in nature and still respects the elderly. He asked, "Why did the villagers and neighbors hide when they saw me?" The old man said, "You don't know, at the beginning of the week, there are three evils here." Zhou Chu asked, "What are the three evils?" The old man said, "First, there is a tiger on the hill ahead. It often comes down to eat people and livestock. This is a kind of injury that makes chickens and dogs restless. " Second, you see, there is a dragon in the river in front of the village. No one dares to swim, fish or swim across the river. "Zhou said," it's not just two? There is another harm? " The old man said, "That's where you are! "At the beginning of the week, my nature was good, and I suddenly felt that I was bad enough for the villagers to treat me as a big harm! He suddenly woke up. Legend has it that at the beginning of the week, he went up the mountain to kill tigers and people; Go into the water, dive into the river to kill dragons and kill people; I found my conscience, and my kind nature was revealed. I made progress all the way, and later became a big official, doing a lot of good things for the people and leaving a very good reputation in history. Now the tomb at the beginning of Zhou Dynasty is still there.

Section 10: At the beginning of life, human nature is good.

What can this story tell us? "Sex is similar, learning is far away." If the environment is not good the day after tomorrow and no one educates, no matter how kind nature is, it will be polluted.

For any child, if there is no good acquired environment, no matter how kind his nature is, he will be polluted. This is what this story tells us. So, how can we ensure that people develop in a good direction? What kind of method will Saint Amethyst tell us?

How can we solve the problem of environmental pollution? The three-character sutra goes on to say, "If you don't teach, you will change your sex." If you don't get an education, or you don't get an education, then "sex is shifting" and the nature of kindness will change. This "teaching" can be understood as two aspects. If you don't educate him or people don't receive education, bad things in human nature will sprout. The story of the previous week can also illustrate this problem. And "the way of teaching lies in specialization", that is to say, the most important and precious way of education is singleness. The education mentioned by Saint Amethyst must be understood by heart. This education is not simple, it has several meanings: the first layer, what I taught you, the teaching of education. The second layer, the teaching of education, the teaching of education. "The way of teaching", this "teaching" also includes two very important educational levels, one is moral education and the other is knowledge education. Today, we often attach importance to knowledge education. For example, children learn piano, violin, English, French and maybe skating from an early age. It is expected that children will become an intellectual superman from an early age and be proficient in all kinds of martial arts. Music hopes that he will become Lang Lang, and foreign languages hope that he can master several subjects, learn calligraphy and learn Olympic Mathematics. However, we often ignore the moral education that Saint Amethyst emphasizes most, that is, how to be a kind person and how to have the morality that a kind person must have. The education of Saint Amethyst is always guided by moral education. Of course, it never ignores knowledge education. "The way to teach lies in specialization", which has two meanings. The first meaning is lifelong, that is, I want to learn something, love it, like it, like it to learn, like it to learn. Don't give up halfway, don't try. This is vertical. Another meaning is horizontal, that is, I will persevere all my life, I will take my life as my study life, and I will have a lifelong learning attitude to pursue moral perfection and knowledge acquisition.

Section 1 1: At the beginning of life, human nature is good.

In Saint Amethyst, learning is a process of life and must be experienced wholeheartedly. This is the essence of the word Saint Amethyst.

In history, we can also find many stories to illustrate this view of Saint Amethyst. Bohu in the Tang Dynasty was a famous painter and calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty, and was called "the Four Schools of Wumen" together with Shen Zhou. He is a great romantic genius and a great painter. Tang Bohu lived in a well-off family since childhood, and he had a talent for painting since childhood. His paintings have always been famous, and Tang Bohu Jr. is often invited by wealthy local families to paint. Of course, Tang Bohu at that time was a little complacent, young, famous and charming. However, Tang Bohu's mother is a great woman. She felt that it was not enough to be satisfied with a little achievement. She must concentrate on studying New Year's pictures for several years to get the painting art straight. So, my mother told Tang Bohu this truth and told him to learn painting from Shen Zhou. Shen Zhou was already a famous painter and lived not far from home. Mother packed Tang Bohu's luggage and asked him to learn painting from Shen Zhou. Tang Bohu is also very happy. Anyway, not far from home, he happily took his mother's luggage and went to worship Shen Zhou as a teacher. After studying in Shenyang for a year or two, Tang Bohu found that he painted very well. After reading the teacher's paintings, I feel that I am not necessarily better than myself, so I don't concentrate on painting and want to go home. Shen Zhou saw Tang Bohu's psychological activities and didn't think much. He informed his wife, Jenny in Tang Bohu, to prepare a table of food and give it to Tang Bohu: "Let him start his career without studying any more." After eating this meal, he sent it to an independent house in the yard, where Tang Bohu had never been.

What kind of house is this? Why does the teacher never let Tang Bohu come here? And what does Tang Bohu's experience tell us?

The beginning of life is good in essence.

Tang Bohu walked into the house and saw, Oh, I found this house very strange. How can there be such a house under the sun! How strange is it? This house has four doors. He went in through one door, and there were doors on the other three sides. Outside each door, there were different scenery: this door was full of colorful flowers, that door was singing and dancing, and the other door was full of water. Tang Bohu thought it was funny and said to himself, "This master is really bad. He never told me about such a fun place at home. Today, he told me. I won't eat first, I'll go out and have a look. " I want to go to the east gate to see the colorful, "dong" suddenly hit a bag; When I went to the south gate, I slammed into another bag. I bumped into another bag when I went to the west gate to see the gurgling stream. I have three bags on my head. He realized that the three windows and the scenery outside were painted on the wall by Shen Zhou. Tang Bohu once understood that the original painting was endless, and he was far from it. At this moment, Shen Zhou came in and said, "Tang Bohu, you can go after dinner. Don't study. " Tang Bohu plopped down on his knees: "Teacher, you'd better let me study hard with you for a few more years." Since then, Tang Bohu has devoted himself to research for many years. Then one day, Shen Zhou told him, "You can really go. You don't have to follow me when you learn something. " Tang Bohu's personality has also changed. He cooked by himself and gave a thank-you banquet, thanking the teacher for his cultivation. He cooked dishes and put them in his room. There are fish in these plates. Jiangnan is full of fish and shrimp. At this moment, a greedy cat jumped over and wanted to eat fish. Of course Tang Bohu will drive the cat away, but he can't eat it. The cat jumped on the window of the east wall and tried to escape. Bang, the cat hit a bag and fell down. The cat got up and ran to the south wall and the west wall, where there were windows, and with a bang, they all fell down. The cat also made three bags. Tang Bohu forgot that when he was practicing painting, he drew three windows on the wall, and even the cat could not be distinguished.

This story is nothing more than to show that you must concentrate and persevere in learning anything in order to achieve something. "The way to teach lies in the essence", that is, we should regard the whole learning process as a life process and spend our lives in the world with a lifelong learning attitude, which is a question of learning attitude. The San Zi Jing also talked a lot about the learning environment. Because we know that if a child is compared to a flower, then his growth and education environment is the soil for the flower to grow and bloom. What kind of soil conditions are prepared for children who are studying? What kind of external environment should we create for him? Please listen to the next lecture.
