1: Li Rang, Kong Rong
When Kong Rong was a child, he was smart, studious, flexible and answered irrelevant questions. Everyone praised him as a child prodigy. At the age of four, he could recite many poems and poems, and he knew manners. His parents love him very much.
One day, my father bought several pears and specially chose the biggest pear for Kong Rong. Kong Rong shook his head, but picked the smallest pear and said, I am the youngest, so I should eat a small pear. Give your pear to my brother. ? Father was very surprised after hearing this and asked: Is that brother younger than you? Kong Rong said, "My brother is younger than me. I should give it to him." Kong Rong let the story of pear spread all over Qufu, and it has been handed down all the time, which has become a good example for many parents to educate their children.
When Kong Rong was a child, he not only studied hard, but also was good at thinking. Father always takes him with him when he goes out to visit guests. 10 years old, came to Luoyang with his father. Li Yingfu, the prefect of Luoyang. At this time, the doorman was busy pulling and asked, which child are you? Go and play! ? Kong Rong answered seriously:? Please go in and announce Kong Rong's visit. ? The gatekeeper saw that he was serious and didn't know where he came from. Asked with a smile:? Little childe, do you have a red sticker? Kong Rong said? My family has been in contact with your master for generations, and there is a teacher-student relationship. You don't need a red sticker, just notice. ? The gatekeeper was afraid of treating the distinguished guests badly, so he had to go in and report. At this time, Mars is talking with many literati and listening to the briefing. He couldn't remember the relationship between Kong Rong and his family for a moment, so he had to haha. Please come in! ? Kong Rong Jr. walked into the hall excitedly, greeting his host and guests, with a supercilious attitude. When giving up his seat, Mars looked at the handsome boy and wondered, This child has never met before, but why does he claim to know his family? So, Mars asked. Little childe, you said that our two families have been friendly for generations, so I can't remember! ? Kong Rong said with a smile? 500 years ago, Confucius asked Laozi for a gift. Confucius' surname is Kong and Lao Tzu's surname is Li, which shows that Confucius and Li have a teacher-student relationship for 500 years. Today, your surname is Li and my surname is Kong, which is also a teacher-student relationship. Aren't our two families a family for life? ?
Kong Rong surprised everyone, and all the guests here were secretly amazed. The satrap Mars burst out laughing. Little childe is really a child prodigy. ? Only Dr. Chen Wei, a Chinese medicine practitioner, disagreed and said coldly that people who are smart when they are young may not be successful when they grow up. ? Facing the challenge, Kong Rong said with a smile. In that case, Mr. Wang must have been very clever when he was a child. ? This clever answer made Chen Wei blush and speechless, and secretly sat there angry. Kong Rong else, pretending to be an adult, seriously drinking tea, made everyone laugh.
2. Iron pestle grinding needle
Li Bai, a famous poet in Tang Dynasty, didn't like reading when he was a child. He often plays truant and wanders in the street.
One day, Li Bai did not go to school again. He wandered about the street, looked around and unconsciously arrived outside the city. The warm sunshine and cheerful birds and flowers swaying in the wind made Li Bai sigh. How boring it is to study indoors all day in such fine weather?
Walking, at the door of a shabby hut, a white-haired old woman is grinding an iron pestle as thick as a stick. Li Bai walked over. What are you doing, old woman?
? I want to grind this pestle into an embroidery needle. ? The old woman looked up, smiled at Li Bai, and then lowered her head to continue grinding.
? Embroidered needle? Li Bai asked again:? Is it an embroidery needle for sewing clothes?
? Sure! ?
? However, the iron pestle is so thick, when can it be ground into a fine embroidery needle?
The old woman asked Li Bai:? A drop of water can wear away a stone, and a stupid person can move a mountain. Why can't the iron pestle be ground into an embroidery needle?
? But you're so old?
? As long as I work harder than others, there is nothing I can't do. ?
Li Bai was ashamed of what the old woman said, and never played truant after he went back. I study very hard every day and finally become an immortal poet.
3. Cantilever beam stings
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man named Sun Jing, a famous politician. At first, because of his shallow knowledge, he was not reused, and even his family looked down on him, which greatly stimulated him. He made up his mind to study hard, often closed the door and continued reading alone. Reading from morning till night every day, often forgetting to eat and sleep. After studying for a long time, I am tired, but I still don't rest. After a long time, I was too tired to doze off. Afraid of affecting his study, he came up with a special method. In ancient times, men had long hair. He found a rope and tied it firmly to the beam. When he is tired of reading, he dozes off. When his head is lowered, the rope will hold his hair and hurt his scalp, wake up immediately and continue to study. This is Sun Jing? Hanging beam? This story.
During the Warring States Period, there was a man named Su Qin, who was also a famous politician. When I was young, because of the lack of knowledge, I went to many places to do things and was not taken seriously. After returning home, his family was also very cold and looked down on him. This is a great stimulus to him. So, he made up his mind to study hard. He often studies late into the night, is very tired, often takes a nap and wants to sleep. So he thought of a way, prepared an awl and stabbed himself in the thigh when he dozed off. In this way, I suddenly felt pain, woke up by myself, and then insisted on reading. This is Su Qin? Branch line? This story.
4. Self-recommendation
During the Warring States Period, Qin Jun defeated Zhao in Changping. Tian Lei, the leader of Qin Jun, led the attack and surrounded Handan, the capital of Zhao.
China's 30 traditional short stories (1) are enemies. At present, Zhao's situation is extremely critical. The king of Zhao ordered Zhao Sheng to go to Chu to seek the help of soldiers. Ping Yuanjun called the public and wanted to select 20 all-rounders to go with him. He chose and chose, chose and chose, and finally one person was missing. There was a man named Mao Sui under the door. He came forward and recommended himself to Ping Yuanjun. I heard that Mr. Wang is going to Chu to sign? Union? The Covenant people agreed to go with twenty diners and not to look outside. One person is still missing. I hope Mr. Wang starts with the number I made up! ? Ping Yuanjun said? How many years has Mr. Wang been in my house? Mao sui said:? It's been three years now. ? Ping Yuanjun said? A wise scholar in the world is like an awl in a bag, and its tip will appear soon. Now, I have been under Zhao Shengmen for three years. No one around you has praised you, and I have never heard such a compliment. This is because you have no talent. Sir can't go together, sir, please stay! ? Mao sui said:? I just want to be sure today. If I were in the bag, I would expose the whole edge, not just the tip, like the sharp awn of the ear of grain. ? Ping Yuanjun finally went to Chu with Mao Sui. Nineteen people looked at each other and laughed at him, but they didn't say it.
In the State of Chu, the King of Chu only received Ping Yuanjun. Two people sat in the temple, from morning to noon, with no result. Mao sui strode up the steps and shouted at a distance: sending troops is either good or bad, simple and clear. Why not discuss it without deciding? The king of Chu was very angry and asked Ping Yuanjun, Who is this man? Ping Yuanjun replied? This man's name is Mao Sui, but he is my guest! ? The king of Chu shouted: Hurry up! I'm talking to your master. What are you doing here? Seeing that the king of Chu was angry, Mao Sui did not step down, but went up several steps. He pressed his sword and said, within ten steps now, the king's life is in my hands! ? Seeing that Mao Sui was so brave, the King of Chu stopped scolding him, so he listened to Mao Sui. Mao Sui made a very incisive analysis of the truth about Zhao Youli's arrest and aid to Chu. Mao sui's words convinced the king of Chu and promised to send troops at once. A few days later, Chu, Wei and other countries jointly sent troops to help Zhao. Qin Jun retreated. After returning to Zhao, he became a national guest. He sighed and said, As soon as Mr. Mao arrived in Chu, the king of Chu dared not look down upon Zhao. ?
5: Water drops penetrate the stone.
Once upon a time, there was a man named Zhang Guai Duck who worked as a county magistrate in Qianyang. At that time, there was still an atmosphere in society in which friendly soldiers insulted generals and petty officials violated officers. Zhang Guai Duck wants to find a chance to severely punish this behavior.
One day, when he was patrolling around the yamen, he suddenly saw a small official slip out of the warehouse in a panic. Zhang Guaiyan stopped the little official and found a sum of money hidden in the headscarf beside his sideburns. After questioning, the deacon could not prevaricate, so he had to admit that he stole it from the vault.
Zhang Guaiya took the beadle back to the lobby and ordered the torture. The little official refused to accept it and said angrily, what's the big deal about a dollar? You're just torturing me? You can only hit me, so you can kill me! ? .
Zhang Guaiya saw that the little official dared to contradict him so much, so he did not hesitate to pick up a brush and judge. One dollar a day, one thousand dollars a day; Rope saws wood, but water drops stones (stealing a dollar a day, stealing a thousand dollars a day, after a long time, rope saws wood, but water drops stones). ?
After sentencing, Zhang Guaiya threw a pen, held a sword and personally beheaded the petty official.
6. Don't worry about anything.
Once upon a time, there was a small country called Qi State. There was a man in the state of Qi who was suspicious all day. He worried that the sky would fall for a while and hit his head flat; I'm afraid I'll fall and bury myself. The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. He worries about chong (ch not ng) chong all day, and he can't eat during the day and dare not sleep at night. The story spread slowly.
An enthusiastic person saw his sad and boring appearance and worried that he was out of health, so he went to enlighten him and said that the sky was just a gas accumulation, and it was everywhere. People's every move, every breath, should be in contact with it. You are active in qi all day, why are you worried that it will fall? The people of Qi asked with a grain of salt: If innocence is a kind of accumulated gas, wouldn't the sun, moon and stars all fall? No, no. ? The man replied,? The sun, moon and stars are just substances that glow in gas. Even if it falls, it won't hurt anyone. You can rest assured. ? Qi people asked again:? So what if the land collapses? Enthusiasts say:? The ground is just a pile of clods. Such clods are everywhere in the southeast and northwest. You run around on the ground all day, jumping around, moving around, and don't worry that it will collapse. ? When Qi Guoren heard this, his heart seemed to have put down a heavy burden and a smile appeared on his face. The warm-hearted man is also very happy, because he has relieved the sadness of Qi people.
7. Better late than never.
During the Warring States Period, there was a minister of Chu named Zhuang Xin. One day, he said to King Xiang of Chu: When you were in the palace, Zhou Hou was on the left and Xiahou was on the right; When you went out, Yan Lingjun and Shou Jing Jun followed you all the time. You and these four people are very particular about luxury and debauchery. Regardless of state affairs, Ying (the capital of Chu, in the north of jiangling county, Hubei Province) is bound to be in danger! ?
King Xiang was very unhappy. He scolded angrily: Are you crazy? Deliberately say these insidious words to confuse people?
Zhuang Xin answered unhurriedly:? I really feel that things must come to this, and I dare not deliberately say that Chu has any misfortune. If you always cherish this man, Chu will surely perish. Since you don't believe me, please allow me to hide in Zhao and see what will happen. ?
Zhuang Xin lived in Zhao Guocai for five months, and the State of Qin invaded Chu, and Wang Xiang was forced into exile in Yangcheng (now northwest of Xixian County, Henan Province). Only then did I feel that Zhuang Xin's words were good, so I quickly sent someone to get Zhuang Xin back and asked him what he could do. Zhuang Xin said sincerely: I have heard that it is not too late to see rabbit teeth and think of hunting dogs; It's not too late to mend the sheepfold after the sheep have run away.
8. Gong Yu moved mountains.
There are two mountains in Fiona Fang, Taihang Mountain and Wuwang Mountain, which are 700 miles above sea level and seven or eight thousand feet high. They were originally located in the south of Jizhou, on the north bank of the Yellow River.
There is a silly old man in Beishan, who is nearly ninety years old and lives directly opposite two big mountains. Gong Yu was blocked by a road in the north of the mountain, so he had to walk a long way out and in. Call the whole family to discuss and say, you and I will try our best to dig two mountains to the south of Yuzhou and go to the south bank of Hanshui River, okay? Everyone agreed. His wife raised a question and said, with your strength, you can't cut down the mountain like Queff. What can you do to Taihang Mountain and the palace? Besides, where to put the earth and stone? Everyone said:? Throw the earth and stone to the edge of Bohai Sea, to the north of the hidden soil. ? Yu Gong then led his three descendants who could carry heavy burdens, chiseling stones, digging dirt and transporting them to the Bohai Sea with dustpans. The neighbor's widow named Beijing has an orphan, who is only seven or eight years old, skipping to help them. Winter and summer change seasons only once.
Hequ Zhicuo stopped Gong Yu with a smile and said, You are really not smart. With your remaining strength, you can't even destroy a grass on the mountain. What can you do with mud and stones? Gong Yu of Beishan sighed and said? You are stubborn, too stubborn to change. You are worse than a widow and a weak child. Even if I die, I still have a son; Son gives birth to grandson, grandson gives birth to son; A son has a son and a son has a grandson; There is no end to children and grandchildren, and mountains do not increase. Why are you worried about uneven digging? There is nothing to answer about knowing beans in a meandering river.
The mountain god who caught the snake heard about it and was afraid that he would continue to dig, so he reported it to the Emperor of Heaven. Touched by his sincerity, the Emperor of Heaven ordered Kwa 'e's two sons to move two mountains. Since then, there have been no mountain obstacles to the south of Jizhou and Hanshui.
9: Sean is a master.
Sean was a strategist of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Western Han Dynasty. His ancestors were Koreans. After Qin destroyed Korea, he decided to avenge South Korea. Once, because of the attempted assassination of Qin Shihuang, he was hunted down and took refuge in Xiapi.
Sean has nothing to do next time. One day, while walking on Xiapi Bridge, he met an old man wearing a coarse cloth and a short coat. He walked beside Sean and deliberately dropped his shoes under the bridge. Then he turned to Sean and said, Kid! Get off the bridge and pick up my shoes! ? Sean was shocked and wanted to give him a beating, but when he saw that he was an old man, he held back his anger and picked up the shoes under the bridge. The old man ordered it again:? Put on your shoes! ? Sean thought that since he had picked up the shoes, he might as well put them on, so he knelt on the ground and put them on him. The old man put out his foot and asked Sean to help him put it on. Then he left with a smile. Sean has been watching his whereabouts with surprised eyes. The old man walked back and turned to Sean and said, You can be a child. Meet me here at dawn in five days! ? Sean knelt down and said, yes. ? At first light on the fifth day, Sean came to Xiapi Bridge. Unexpectedly, the old man was already waiting there. When he saw Zhang Liang, he said angrily. Why are you late for dating an old man? Come back the next morning on the fifth day! ? Say that finish and left. On the morning of the fifth day, as soon as the chicken crowed, Sean rushed over, but the old man was waiting there again. When he saw Zhang Liang, he said angrily, Why are you behind me again? Come back early in five days! ? Then he left again. On the fifth day, Sean arrived at the bridge before midnight. After waiting for a long time, the old man came and said happily, that's good. ? Then he took out a book, pointed to it and said, if you study this book carefully, you can be the emperor's teacher! In ten years, the world will change and you will be rich. 13 later, you will see me at the foot of Gucheng Mountain in Jibei County? There is a yellow stone there, and that is me. ? The old man said that and left.
At dawn in the morning, Sean took out his book and read it. It turned out to be Sun Tzu's Art of War (assisted by Zhou Wuwang)! Sean cherishes it very much, often reads it carefully, and studies and studies it repeatedly.
16 years later, Chen Sheng and others rose up against the state of Qin, and more than 100 people responded. Pei Gong Liu Bang led thousands of troops and captured some places west of Xiapi. Sean joined him and became his subordinate. From then on, Sean often made suggestions to Pei according to Sun Tzu's Art of War. Pei thought it was very good and often adopted his strategies. Later, he became Liu Bang's strategist who strategized and won thousands of miles. After Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor, he was named Liu Hou.
Sean will never forget the old man who taught him the art of war. 13 years later, when he followed Liu Bang through Jibei, he saw a piece of Yellowstone at the foot of the ancient city mountain and took it back, calling it? Huang Shigong? Regard it as a treasure and sacrifice it on time. After Sean died, his family buried Yellowstone National Park with him.
Modernization transformation of traditional culture
Realizing the modernization of traditional culture is the most important link. Festivals are cultural innovations on the basis of taking the essence and removing the dross, so that traditional culture can keep up with the pulse of the times and keep pace with the times, which realizes the modernization of traditional culture.
When a country moves towards modernization, it must always have a culture based on a certain economic and political foundation. Denying traditional culture is also denying history and national spirit, and cutting yourself off artificially? Root? . White, an American cultural philosopher, said: culture is a continuous unity, and every stage of cultural development comes from an earlier cultural environment? ,? The present culture depends on the past culture, and the future culture is just the present cultural trend? . It can be said that the development history of a nation is also the history of developing and enriching traditions.
Similarly, national spirit, as an important force to unite and inspire people, is also the result of long-term edification and cultivation of traditional culture and the crystallization of traditional culture. It is not terrible for a nation to get into any trouble. What is terrible is that it has lost its national spiritual pillar and spiritual support. Therefore, how to treat traditional culture is not a simple cultural problem, but a problem related to the development of national destiny. Many historical facts have proved that a country embarks on the road of national rejuvenation and modernization, starting with carrying forward the national spirit. National spirit is the soul of a nation. Denying traditional culture will inevitably obliterate the national spirit. It is wrong to think that China's modernization can only draw strength from foreign culture and try to replace China's traditional cultural model with western cultural model (Westernization School).
Traditional culture and modernization are two links in historical development, which are interrelated and contradictory. We should rationally grasp their differences and connections. Traditional culture is the accumulation of yesterday's cultural creation activities, and it is a cultural achievement that can influence future generations. Modernization is the goal of the current historical process, and there are both differences and inevitable connections between them. It is biased to adopt a nationalist or nihilistic attitude towards traditional culture. The dark and negative things in tradition, such as absolutism, personal superstition, feudal paternalism, closed doors, trampling on knowledge and human rights, should be discarded as dross. Modernization needs to develop democracy, science and legal system, which is lacking in traditional culture.
Therefore, while affirming the essence of traditional culture, we should also clearly recognize the dross. In today's world, there have been examples of a good combination of traditional culture and modernization, which shows that traditional culture and modernization are not diametrically opposed. Japan, Singapore and South Korea are more modern than us, but they respect the role of traditional culture more than us. Japan has made amazing progress in transforming Confucianism into cooperative group consciousness. Today, China's modernization process is still continuing and irreversible.
However, traditional culture is the foundation of modernization after all. In order to build socialist modernization, China can't ignore the excellent traditional culture, but can only criticize and inherit it. First of all, it should be based on carrying forward, so that modernization and tradition can be better connected and combined.
