Caigentan Traditional Culture Examination

In this era of chicken soup and dry goods, many classic works in our traditional culture are often ignored, which makes people feel a little sorry and think twice. I am determined to open up a series to introduce classic works of Chinese studies. I hope that everyone can learn nutrition from traditional culture in this impetuous world, and I hope that more people can know and love our traditional culture.

Caigen Tan-a rare and precious training for cultivating students and others.

If we need a book to teach us how to be a man, then I think Caigen Tan is the most suitable one. This is a "treasure book" about self-cultivation. Its content covers a wide range, covering almost all major problems that can be encountered in life, which is very enlightening to us.

Caigen Tan is an excellent note of China's ancient philosophy, which combines the essence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, the Confucian doctrine of the mean, the Taoist inaction and the Buddhist thought of being born. Even today, it still has great enlightening significance for us. Needless to say, it is much better than some chicken soup bestsellers on the market. Put it on your pillow and read a few words every day, which will benefit you a lot.

Let's start with the title of this book. The word "Caigentan" is quite meaningful. "Caigen Tan" is also called "Caigen Tan", which means "Tan". This book is as easy to read as chatting with people. Of course, the word "vegetable root" is more interesting. There is an old saying: "You can bite a vegetable root and do anything." Yu Kong wrote an inscription in Caigen Tan: "Tan is named after the vegetable root, which is rooted in hard experience and also comes from farming and irrigation. Its ups and downs are unimaginable. "

The language style of Caigen Tan is also very distinctive, with the rhyme of parallel prose and the breath of prose. It is elegant, orderly and smart, and some people admire it: "Its words are concise, clear and elegant. I like quotations, but I have fun that quotations don't have; Arrange in order, whoever seems to be an essay will have an essay that is not easy to achieve; It seems to be exhortation, but there is an awakening that exhortation lacks; And there are rainy mountains, the night is still ringing, the words are clear and delicious, and the wind and moon are boundless. " This evaluation is extremely appropriate.

This means that blaming others for their mistakes should not be too severe, but should consider whether the other party can bear it; Don't expect too much when teaching others to do good things, but consider whether the other person can do it. This is a reflection of the principle of moderation. Criticizing people's mistakes, if too severe, will dampen people's self-esteem and make people depressed. Teach others to do good deeds. If expectations are too high, others often can't do it, so they won't do it. This reminds me of the character selection that moved China. I have to say that the people who touched China were really touched, but most of us were just "touched" because their kindness was so touched that most of us were afraid that we couldn't do it.

If a person who does bad things knows that he has done bad things and is afraid that others will know, then this person still knows the difference between good and evil, and this person still has a chance to abandon evil and do good. And the person who does good deeds, if he does a good deed, must publicize it everywhere for fear that others will not know, then this person's good deeds are likely to be doubtful.

This sentence is very appropriate to satirize many "show" things today. Many people want to promote a good thing through various means, which is nothing more than a show.

This is a "troubled" truth. What is easy to get is often easy to lose, but what is gained through setbacks and hardships will be more cherished and will last longer. Moreover, this sentence is clearly a classic routine of novels and dramas, and the prince and princess lived a happy life from then on. ...

This sentence can be explained by another maxim, "Clear water means no fish, and people look at it without disciples." People who have been self-reliant are easily annoying and often have no friends. Gold is not enough, no one is perfect. Everyone has one problem or another, which is unavoidable for anyone. If these mistakes are harmless, we might as well be tolerant, and being able to tolerate other people's small mistakes is the real gentleman's wind.

If corrupt officials can use this sentence to warn themselves before corruption, they will not end up in jail and be notorious.

This sentence means that we should not set our goals too high. Instead of planning a career that we are not absolutely sure about, it is better to maintain the completed career. And don't be discouraged. Instead of regretting your past mistakes, it is better to prevent possible future mistakes. It's about what we shouldn't do and what we should do now.

A literary version of "affordable, affordable". Breeze blowing through sparse bamboo will make a rustling sound, but when the wind blows, the bamboo forest is silent, leaving no sound; When geese fly over the cold deep pool, their shadows will be reflected. However, when the geese fly by, the water remains calm and leaves no shadow. Thus, a gentleman with profound moral character will show his true colors when things come, and will restore his original emptiness and calmness after things have passed.

Everything we do will actually have an impact on the future. This effect may appear in a way you don't realize, but it does exist. Some successful people will share their successful experience, but you may not succeed if you learn from his experience. What is the reason? I think one of the important reasons is that your experience is different from his. Some things he did before may have an important influence on her, but he may not realize it himself, let alone share it with you.

Writing an article is actually the same as being a man, pursuing a kind of "coincidence" and a kind of "nature". Whether writing an article or being a person, there is not much skill in itself. Articles that will last forever, people who will go down in history forever, don't rely on what skills. Our times often seem to be a bit eager for quick success and instant benefit, too impetuous, and often eager for the theory of "skill strategy". As everyone knows, those skills are just icing on the cake. If you stick to them, I'm afraid you will give up the foundation.

The golden rule of interpersonal relationship, if you can really do it, many people will thank you and regard you as a confidant. Moreover, a lot of trouble can be avoided.

When I say this first sentence, I mean "listening to everything makes people clear, and favoritism makes people dark." I mean, don't listen to one aspect easily, or you will be easily deceived by traitors. I want to extend it here. In today's Internet age, information is exploding and mud and sand are everywhere. It is not so easy to get more objective and true information. At this time, we must not be partial to the letter, and we must not be an accomplice to rumors flying all over the sky.

Every sentence in "Caigen Tan" is worth reading carefully, and one or two sentences are taken out from it, which is a famous saying. What I have listed here is just the tip of the iceberg, and what I have elaborated is only a little fur. The real mystery of this book needs friends to ponder and appreciate.
