800-word composition with the theme of traditional culture

The reason why the four Chinese characters "loyalty to the country" have such a great shock is that they are engraved not only in Yue Fei's glorious life, but also in the 5,000-year history of the Chinese nation and the national psychology forged and accumulated in this 5,000-year history. 1. Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. In the spring of 327 BC, Gao Xian, a businessman from the State of Zheng, was driving a herd of cattle to do business when he suddenly discovered that the army of the State of Qin was coming to attack. It knew Zheng was unprepared and had a brainwave. On the one hand, people flew to China, on the other hand, they claimed to be the envoy of Zheng. Qin Jun, the general, was very surprised when he heard that the envoy of the State of Zheng had come. He quickly summoned him to explore the situation. Gao Xian said unhurriedly: Our national army heard that your army would come to our country and sent me four cooked cowhide and twelve fat cows to entertain you. Hearing this, General Qin thought that Zheng was ready, so he had to withdraw his troops and return home.

This story is called "Saving the Country with High Strings". "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" is a famous saying of Gu (16 13 to 1682), an outstanding patriotic thinker in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. "Ordinary people" are ordinary people like Gao Xian who have no official or expensive. Gu's famous saying is a high summary of countless such touching stories in history. In the Spring and Autumn Period when the chord height was located, "country" and "world" were not the same concept. "Guo" refers to the vassal state enfeoffed by the Zhou Dynasty, which was nominally governed by the Zhou Emperor. The word "Guo" is repeatedly written as "Guo", which is composed of a big box enclosing "mouth" and "ge". Kou stands for population and people, and "Ge" stands for weapons and army. However, the earliest big boxes were outside the "mouth" and "lattice", which probably means the city wall; It can be seen that the "country" at that time represented the vassal state or its capital. Later, the "box" sealed the "mouth" and "case" inside, and it had the meaning of boundary; This shows that "state" has an inviolable meaning and is now called "sovereignty". Reflecting this change, during the Spring and Autumn Period, a man named Zhao said, "Don't forget your country in times of crisis, be loyal to the monarch." During the Warring States period, there was a saying that "there is no national army". It is an earlier example of "loving" a vassal state. There is also a story in Zuo Zhuan: The king of Jin saw a prisoner wearing a southern hat in the armory and asked him who he was. It turned out to be a prisoner presented by Zheng Guo. Jin Gong released him and let him play music, while Chu Prisoner only played Chu songs. Jin Hou was very moved, saying that he did not forget his hometown and was a gentleman, so he let him go. At that time, Chu deviated from the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, took a development path different from that of other countries in the Central Plains, and had its own royal historical documents and Tu Tu cultural customs. Therefore, the Chu people's love for "the country" is particularly strong. Qu Yuan (340-278 BC) is an outstanding representative. He was born in the noble state of Chu, and advocated uniting Qi State to resist the invasion of powerful Qin State at that time. After being rejected by the traitors, he was advised to show his talents in other countries, but he resolutely refused and never left Chu again. Wandering in the south of the Yangtze River, he wrote great patriotic poems such as Li Sao and National Mourning, all of which were named "Songs of Chu" for "writing Chu language, using Chu sounds, remembering Chu places, and making Chu things famous". Qu Yuan's works are the strongest sound of Chu people's patriotism. Secondly, the cultural characteristics of "isomorphism of home and country" and China people's patriotic tradition are "humble but afraid to forget the country", "How can we be home until the Huns are extinct", "family affairs and state affairs in the world" and "revitalizing China, starting with me" ... In the history of world civilization, which nation has created so many things that treat the country, the nation and the individual like "the rise and fall of the world"? Patriotism is the common thought and emotion of all ethnic groups in the world, which exists in the historical and cultural heritage of all ethnic groups. However, the patriotic tradition of the Chinese nation not only has a very long history, but also has unique humanistic and cultural characteristics. The answer can be found in two common words-country, motherland and loyalty, which have been repeated countless times since we babbled. "Home" means that there is a pig (ancient tapir) under the "Mi" on the roof. You can tell at a glance that this is an agricultural family. "Zu" refers to ancestors and ancestors, and belongs to the trace of "home" in the historical direction. The frequent use of "Guo", "Jia", "Zu" and "Guo" even became the most commonly used compound words in modern times, which clearly shows that in China, there is the closest connection between the country and the family that no nation can match. It is precisely because of the natural close relationship between the loyalty of China ancient society to "home" and "country" that in the Warring States period, thinkers such as Mencius began to use "country" and "home" and the concept of "being close to the people and loving the country" appeared, thus developing China's unique political ethics. Yue Fei's Tattoo is a well-known typical example. Yue Fei's family has been farmers for generations. He took part in agricultural labor since he was a child and respected his parents very much. At that time, when the country was in trouble, he made up his mind to serve the country, practice martial arts and learn the art of war. Before joining the army, in order to strengthen his fighting spirit, his mother stabbed him on the back with a steel needle with the words "loyal to serve the country". In his later military career, Yue Fei remembered four words all the time and finally became a generation of famous soldiers. As we know, patriotism is the simplest and most natural emotion shared by people all over the world, and the uniqueness of China's traditional culture lies in its social foundation of "isomorphism between home and country", which ethically and moralizes this simple emotion and cultivates it from childhood, thus becoming a standardized life path and mode of thinking for the whole nation. The loyalty of all nationalities in the world is the first and only. So the famous historian Toynbee, who has never won, said: "For thousands of years, China people have successfully United hundreds of millions of people politically than any other nation in history."

The unity of family and country and the same ancestry have become the spiritual pillar to maintain the cohesion of the Chinese nation for 5 thousand years. The Chinese nation has strong centripetal force and cohesion. It has long formed a unified country with great ethnic integration, split for a long time and suffered setbacks repeatedly. This is the most profound reason. Since modern times, China has fallen behind, and the crisis of national subjugation and extinction has weighed heavily on people's minds. However, as the only ancient nation that was not completely colonized at the end of 19, the resistance and struggle of the people of China shattered the dream of western powers to carve up again and again. China and the Chinese nation can neither be consolidated nor destroyed by any force in the world. This miracle in world history is also inseparable from the unique tradition and deep foundation of China's patriotism.
