What is the historical mission of Chinese studies?

The purpose of "Chinese studies" is "to establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a life for the people, to inherit the past and the future, and to be peaceful for all generations." The mission of contemporary college students is to learn, inherit and carry forward the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation, and to enhance and create a new culture rich in the excellent tradition of the Chinese nation and distinctive characteristics of the times. Based on the land of China and facing the world, we should firmly face up to the actual national conditions and look to the future, so as to promote the great development and prosperity of socialist culture more consciously and actively.

Learn knowledge and enlighten wisdom. "If you are absent-minded, you will turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear." (The Book of Rites? What do you mean by "absent-minded" The heart is the most agile thing, and nothing can simply grasp it. For example, in class, some students sit here, but when they look at him, they know that his heart is desperate. Once your heart is not here, you can't see what you should see or hear what you should hear. "awe" is a prerequisite for the soul to stay here.

In fact, the classics of "Chinese studies" record the philosophy of life, the way of governing the country, social life and customs of ancient ancestors, which is worth learning and discussing. For example, The Book of Songs can be called the "encyclopedia" in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Wei Yuan's Atlas of the Sea is a comprehensive work introducing the knowledge of world geography and history, which puts forward the central idea of "learning from foreigners to control foreigners", which is of epoch-making significance; Confucian thoughts of great harmony, nourishing qi and peace are our precious wealth. The thoughts and academics of a hundred schools of thought contend, such as Mozi's "universal love" and "self-defeating", and Sun Tzu's "defeating the enemy without fighting, and goodness is also good", have world significance and are of great value to the construction of contemporary civilization; Twenty-four histories is a mirror of governing the country, which should be studied and used for reference.

Honest and trustworthy, sincere and kind. Paying attention to people's moral cultivation is an important content in the thought of Chinese studies. Confucianism believes that sincerity and goodness are the highest realm of life. Confucius said, "It's hard to complain if you put yourself at risk." ("The Analects? Confucius believes that acting according to personal interests will lead to a lot of resentment. Zi Gong said: "The fault of a gentleman is like the food of the sun and the moon: everyone sees it;" What's more, everyone is very admired. " ("The Analects? Teach people that a gentleman should be strict with himself and correct his mistakes.

Indifferent to fame and fortune, willing to contribute. Confucius said, "It's fun to bend your arms and pillow water and eat it to avoid eating." ("The Analects? Eating the roughest food, drinking a little cold water and bending your arms under your head, such a simple life also has supreme enjoyment and entertainment. What is happiness and happiness? Everyone's judgment standard is different. In the final analysis, it is the feeling in people's hearts. College students are all cultural people and should have elegant taste. Now, what is the biggest problem we must face? Is how to choose the right idea. Kyle. Aurelius, a great philosopher who once ruled the Roman Empire, once said a wise saying, "Life is made up of thoughts. "We must choose the right thoughts to have the right actions, to make a difference, to have a sense of accomplishment, and naturally to have a strong sense of happiness. This idea is embodied in ideals, beliefs and correct outlook on life and values. Once upon a time, two scholars went to Beijing to take the exam together and saw a coffin on the way. A scholar said: "I will meet a coffin on the way to the exam. It's really unlucky. It seems that I have no hope in this exam! " "Another scholar said:" Coffins, coffins, means promotion and wealth. " It seems that my luck has come, and this time I will definitely become a top student in high school! "Their mentality is different, so when answering questions, their efforts are different. As a result, as they predicted, the first champion fell to Sun Shan, and the second champion was the champion of high school. After that. They all said to people they knew, "That coffin is really effective! "This kind of negative and positive attitude is an idea, giving up or persisting. Be broad-minded, treat gains and losses correctly, be persistent, be good at self-adjustment and be able to bear setbacks. Get along with other students and help each other with a kind, tolerant and inclusive heart. Over time, you will suddenly find yourself a happy person, a person who is easily accepted by classmates and loved by teachers. And what are some students doing now? Playing cards and chatting online, why do people like to chat with people they don't know online instead of communicating with classmates? Everyone knows that the TV news situation is excellent and the online news is gloomy. Why not watch more TV instead of worrying about it, and learn more about social phenomena actively? So in this sense, Confucianism tells us that happiness and happiness are not far away, just near your life. Mencius said that a gentleman has three pleasures. " Parents exist, brothers have no reason, and one is happy. "My parents are alive, and my brothers and sisters have no trouble. This is the first kind of happiness. " I am worthy of heaven, I don't care about people. I am happy, too. "It is a high-level happiness for a person to live up to the conscience of heaven and earth and to all the people around him. The third kind of happiness is "being nurtured by talents in the world". When you become a teacher, a leader and a boss in the future, everyone will have a profound experience.

Defend the country and defend the country, and be brave in taking responsibility. Mencius said, "Born in sorrow, died in happiness." ("Mencius? In today's world, the west has peacefully evolved China politically, suppressed China economically, and westernized China in culture and values. From China's "collapse theory" to China's "threat theory", from China's "responsibility theory" to China's "uncertainty theory", the suppression and peaceful evolution of China never stopped. Why? Because they feel the potential threat from China, our GDP has risen to the second place in the world. However, we must also have a sense of urgency. At present, the western countries led by the United States have militarily imposed a C-shaped encirclement on China, also known as the crescent-shaped encirclement. If there is a war, we can't get the material transportation channel from these C-shaped encirclement lines, and they will easily cut off all the international materials we need, such as oil, natural gas, military materials and so on. In this situation, China can only get help from the SCO (Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan) if it wants to get supplies from abroad. Therefore, at present, college students should have a sense of hardship, learn new knowledge, be diligent in thinking, exercise more, be brave in taking responsibility and make more contributions to the country in the future.

Refine the essence and influence the world. Culture is the soul of a nation. If a nation does not have its own culture, its vitality will not last long. In history, there was once a nation called the Tangut, which lost its cultural carrier and cohesion, leading to the disappearance of the nation. 19 13 Englishman Johnston once said: When we Europeans began to discover with surprise that China's social and political thoughts, China's ethics and China's art and literature all had lofty values, China people themselves began to learn impatiently to despise these great products in their culture, which is a puzzling phenomenon. When we inherit Chinese studies, we should focus on preserving and inheriting Chinese culture, which is the strongest weapon to ensure our nation's self-improvement and invincible. In today's world, western countries regard their own freedom and democracy as a totem to be worshipped by the whole world, regard western freedom and democracy as a beacon to guide the development of other countries, and penetrate into other countries through films, television, internet, games and other forms and carriers to achieve the goal of leading the world. We should have a clear understanding of this. Patriotism has always been an eternal banner in China's classics, which shows the patriotic feelings of our ancestors and can unite and unite people with lofty ideals at home. In recent years, Laozi fever, Confucius fever, health care fever, Chinese medicine fever, calligraphy and painting fever and intangible cultural heritage have become the focus of attention, which is a phenomenon of praising "Chinese studies". We should take advantage of the situation, extract the essence of Chinese studies, combine the spirit of the times, promote it, and let the world gradually understand and generally recognize it, so as to better influence the world.
