How to be a very quality of life, literate people?

First, to establish the basic virtues of being a human being. There are three points at the core of it: knowledge of shame, trustworthiness and temperament. It is very important for a person to have a little shame, if a person has no shame at all, then he dares to do anything. Maintaining a sense of shame is the most basic human virtue. If a person is "faithless", who will deal with him? How can we stand in this society? Temperament is also very important, Mencius put forward the "great man" of the three conditions: "rich and noble can not be obscene, poor and lowly can not be moved, the mighty can not be bent". It is not easy to achieve these three points!

Secondly, we must follow the most basic moral norms of society. One is to do their duty, one is dedicated and trustworthy, that is to say, we are in what kind of position, we have to do what kind of work, can not be sloppy, to be dedicated, to be trustworthy. Each of us is not isolated, if we do not do our duty, we are not dedicated to the work and trust, the society will be out of order, it will be chaotic.

The real value is realized in the group, in the society, not by oneself in the house. The realization of personal value is simply to be recognized by others, the group or society, which means that you contribute to the group and society. It is impossible to realize personal value without contributing at the same time, and it is impossible to realize personal value apart from this society.

Third, the cultivation of aesthetic interest and artistic spirit. Art implicitly affects people, a person's aesthetic interest in art is a very good reflection of his moral high or low. Traditional Chinese culture also pays great attention to the combination of philosophy and artistic cultivation. Chinese art has a very rich connotation, and there is often a rich philosophy hidden in a poem or a painting. Similarly, Chinese philosophy has a very strong artistic character, so Chinese art and philosophy are integrated. I am talking about art in a broad sense, not only in the sense of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but mainly in terms of its connotation. The spirit of art is a person's understanding of society, of the meaning and value of life, and what kind of art a person prefers is a good reflection of that person's character. In turn, we through the appreciation of art, constantly to cultivate temperament, but also can make us to the value of life constantly have a new experience.

Fourth, it is a matter of coping with the environment. The so-called ability to cope with the environment is to deal with life with panache. Xunzi. Yusui sit" has: "the gentleman's learning, not for the pass also, for the poor but not trapped, worry and will not decline also, know the disaster and happiness always and the heart is not confused also. "The so-called "through", is to soar; "poor" that is, encountered bumps in the road, not smooth. We study and learn, not for the sake of high-ranking officials, but to encounter all kinds of ups and downs, worry when not downcast, to maintain a firm will, know the woe, happiness, life and death without confusion in the heart. This is the most fundamental thing, people should have a very strong ability to adapt to the environment. This is because there is a question of "talent" and "timing". The man who meets or does not meet, the time is also; the virtuous or unworthy, the material is also; the gentleman erudite and deep strategy, not meet the time is also much! "So Xunzi said, talent or not, lies in me, but meet or not, that is the problem of the environment. A lot of talented people do not have good opportunities, can not be played; but there are opportunities and no talent, it is even more unlikely to be played. Therefore, a person should be able to correctly recognize and treat his own talent and opportunity.

Fifth, we should pay attention to the cultivation of kung fu and instrument style. This is both internal and external. Instrumentation is external and cultivation is internal. The most critical aspect of cultivation is the issue of humility, and treating others with humility. The Zhouyi (The Book of Changes) says, "Humanity is not full of evil, but good at being modest." The word "surplus" means complacency. If you are complacent, you will not be able to accept new ideas and good advice, and you will not improve. When Confucius looked at the temple of Zhou, he saw an interjection. This interjection is very strange: "When it is full, it is covered; when it is empty, it is interjected; when it is in the middle, it is upright"; when it is full, it falls over; when it is empty, it is tilted; and only when it is filled to the right degree, it is upright. This illustrates the truth that it is not good to be empty in the belly, nor is it good to be too full of oneself, but it is only when one is modest that one can be neutral and upright.

Sixth, humanistic qualities should be realized in the meaning of life and the value of life. Fan Zhongyan's famous line "worry about the world first, after the world's happiness and joy", is a manifestation of such a spirit, as well as a sense of the meaning of life, the value of life. This is the final destination of humanistic literacy. Only in this way can we determine our place of peace. All of our cultivation of the heart, our knowledge and grasp of human subjectivity, human agency, the greatness and insignificance of human beings, and the transience and eternity of life, all of these should be implemented in our understanding of life and the value of life
