Reflections on Fu Peirong University's Interpretation of the Doctrine of the Mean

After reading a book, there must be a lot of experience worth sharing. At this time, it is necessary to carefully record and write down the feelings after reading. Don't think that you can just cope with your feelings after reading it. The following are some of my thoughts on Fu Peirong University's interpretation of the doctrine of the mean for reference only. Let's have a look.

Reflections on the Interpretation of the Doctrine of the Mean by Fu Peirong University 1 1. Virtue is the foundation of being a man.

Lide Shu Ren

The way of university is to be moral, to be close to the people and to stop at perfection. "Mingde" is a bright virtue, manifested in good behavior. The article points out that the word "university" originally refers to an ancient higher education institution, which is responsible for educating the children of princes and nobles according to the conditions they should have to become political leaders. Virtue is the foundation of human beings, and both superior rulers and subordinate subjects should have virtue and ability. "A gentleman is virtuous and close to him", being wise and wise is the hope of the country and the blessing of the people.

As teachers, we will judge "three good students" at the end of a semester. "Three good students" refer to good students with all-round development in morality, intelligence and physical education. No matter how intelligent students are, "virtue" always comes first. Because students with high moral character, even if their talents are worse, will not bring any disaster to their families and countries. On the other hand, a student with a high level of intelligence has no morality, no bottom line and no foundation for being a man. He is not sure whether he will do anything that endangers national security.

"Nothing can be achieved without virtue" is not empty talk. Teachers are people who preach, teach and dispel doubts, and special occupations require higher professional ethics. Teachers' professional ethics is the moral standard and code of conduct that teachers and all educators must abide by in educational activities, as well as the corresponding moral concepts, sentiments and qualities. Teachers' morality is one of the models of young students' moral cultivation. Patriotic and law-abiding, loving post experience, caring for students, teaching and educating people, being a teacher and lifelong learning are the moral codes of conduct for teachers.

(2) Self-cultivation

Reading "University" today focuses on "self-cultivation". "The desire of the ancient Ming DE in the world, the country first. If you want to govern your country, you should unite your family first. If you want to reunite with your family, you must first repair your body. " Self-cultivation means practicing words and deeds. Words and deeds are external manifestations, and their root lies in internal cultivation. The specific behavior of self-cultivation is manifested in daily life, that is, choosing good and following, learning from the text, and meeting with courtesy.

After reading the chapter of "Cultivating Self-cultivation", I remembered a story that my teacher once told us: "At the dinner table, a person accidentally spilled the soup in his bowl on the table, but you pretended not to see it and smiled instead." This performance is the performance of self-cultivation. Yes! Maybe in the face of others' embarrassment, we can behave naturally and leave enough face for each other. It's really a very cultural performance! In our daily life, in the face of many affairs in life, we should distinguish right from wrong in the face of major events, have a clear attitude, and abide by the law in minor matters without any negligence. The same is true of teachers, and our responsibility is even greater. We shoulder the responsibility of cultivating the next generation of talents. Therefore, if students want to have self-cultivation, they should start from themselves, keep pace with the times, and cultivate themselves. Start with little things, and start with the teaching of civilized manners. Stick to it and make progress with the students. Educate students with their own words and deeds to be a good young man with both ability and political integrity.

2. The golden mean

"The gentleman is also moderate, and the gentleman is also in time." The doctrine of the mean made by a gentleman is that a gentleman meets the standard of the doctrine of the mean at all times. I think the doctrine of the mean is similar to the "harmony" of socialist core values advocated now. The core idea of the golden mean is self-education, and the true meaning of the golden mean is: "Don't be rigid, don't be extreme, seek the golden mean, and enough is enough"; The doctrine of the mean "is not ambiguous, but truth and righteousness".

This doctrine of the mean is not empty talk. It is closely related to our life and can't be separated for a moment. As long as we leave the golden mean, we will have all kinds of troubles and worries. For example, people nowadays like to stay up late, which violates the golden mean. After a long time, they will get sick and get sick. Deforestation will destroy the natural environment and lead to sandstorms and mudslides, which is also contrary to the golden mean; We have endless desires now. We have this and want that, and we have to look at the pot when we eat, so we are never satisfied. So we add a lot of pain and trouble to our lives, all because we violate the golden mean.

Reading "University" makes me feel that I should correct my mentality and cultivate my self-cultivation. Standardize your family and cultivate your words and deeds. Reading The Doctrine of the Mean is to hope that we can get rid of confusion, return to the truth, truly understand the truth of life, be an enlightened and intelligent person, and be a person who can follow the heaven, so as to get real happiness and happiness.

Comment 2 on the Interpretation of Fu Peirong's The Doctrine of the Mean in Universities To be honest, as long as it is related to Chinese studies and touches on traditional classic culture, I feel tall and far from our daily life, even though I am a Chinese teacher, although I have skillfully recited many contents of The Doctrine of the Mean, The Analects of Confucius and Mencius before.

"University" mentioned "being close to the people", but I don't think they are "close to the people (close to the working people, close to the people, grounded)". Many times, we all know the Four Books and Five Classics, and we also know some well-known famous sentences, but every time we read these classics, it is like exploring a treasure with extremely rich reserves. It seems that we have never touched its roots all our lives. Sometimes we feel that we just see the branches and leaves of a big tree, but we can't see how wide and deep its roots are buried underground!

Therefore, I like to call the process of learning classics and drawing energy from them "rooting". Reading Fu Peirong's interpretation of the golden mean in the university has added courage to take root.

The overall structure of this book is very simple and clear. The first and second preface respectively analyze the original intention of two books, Daxue and The Doctrine of the Mean, and their respective annotations. On the basis of loyalty and sincerity, there are inheritance, innovation and persistence. Mr. Fu showed us the greatness, beauty and magic of these two classic works with his profound background and exquisite writing style.

The text consists of three parts: the original text, the translation and the annotation, which seems simple but fine. I think this design can make readers of all ages suitable for reading. Children can read the original text, beginners and teenagers can read the translation intensively, and rich adults can study the annotations in depth, which is suitable for all ages, both in depth and breadth.

This book can be said to be very detailed when it is annotated. In Mr. Wang's own words, "My translation represents my understanding and there is no room for ambiguity; My annotation focuses on clarifying the concept, tracing back to the original works of Confucius and Mencius, presenting a consistent system, and avoiding abstract or metaphysical terms as much as possible, in order to expect the ideal of ancient' university' education to reappear today and become our common learning goal and self-cultivation guide. " And the evaluation of Mr. Fu in The Doctrine of the Mean is also extremely high. "The greatness, beauty and magic of human nature have reached its peak, and it can be said that it stops at perfection."

As for the accuracy and faithfulness of the translation, the exquisiteness and profundity of the annotations are self-evident. As we all know, as a Confucian classic, the main contents of "Great Learning" are three programs of "showing virtue", "being close to the people" and "stopping at perfection", and eight or eight steps to realize these three programs, namely, discipline, knowledge, honesty, honesty, self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world. The doctrine of the mean mainly focuses on "sincerity of neutralization" Through the narration of Wudadao (brothers and friends of monarch, minister, father, son and wife), Sandade (wisdom, benevolence and courage) and Jiujing (nine basic aspects of governing the world), the meaning of heaven and earth is unified, and morality and Taoism are integrated. The two books contain rich expressions of traditional values, which can be said to provide reference and nourishment for the cultivation of our noble personality and the construction of profound details.

Teacher Fu told us: "University" made us understand why we said that. The doctrine of the mean is the guidance and direction of moral cultivation, but let us know what this is for. In other words, "university" is to cultivate the political literacy of aristocratic children. The doctrine of the mean says this in order to realize the doctrine of the mean and the supreme virtue in the Analects of Confucius and the principle of "stopping at the supreme goodness" in universities. The first chapter of "University" begins with a clear meaning: "The way of a university is to show virtue, to be close to the people, and to stop at perfection." The first chapter of The Doctrine of the Mean: "Destiny is nature, frankness is Tao, and cultivation is teaching". If these three statements are linked, we can find that: firstly, Confucius pointed out the direction of personal cultivation, that is, he determined the highest goal of "the doctrine of the mean to be good". Secondly, "University" pointed out what must be done for the aristocratic children who are about to enter politics in order to realize "the golden mean is the highest virtue". They must show their glorious virtues, be close to and care for the people, and never stop pursuing the "best". To achieve these three points, we must achieve these points: discipline, knowledge, sincerity, integrity, self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world. On the other hand, on the basis of the concretization of "supreme virtue" and "supreme goodness", The Doctrine of the Mean discusses what must be done to realize "supreme virtue" and "supreme goodness". Therefore, when we really understand the subtle meanings of the two works interpreted by Mr. Fu for us, then our journey of taking root really begins.

To tell the truth, as a beginner, I feel a little confused and lack of strong logic when I first come into contact with the doctrine of the mean. After reading this book, I found the beauty of the golden mean more and more. It is not only like a lyric prose, but also like a paper with a clear point of view. Chapter 29: "Therefore, the way of a gentleman is based on the people, gathering the strengths of the people, taking an examination of the three kings without being absurd, building heaven and earth without contradiction, doubting the quality of ghosts and gods, without confusion and immortality." Isn't this a hearty expression of a gentleman's pursuit and feelings? The views expressed in The Doctrine of the Mean are never ambiguous or vague, but firm, clear and neat. Chapter 32: "Only when the world is sincere can we know the great classics of the world, establish the great foundation of the world and know the cultivation of heaven and earth." The point of view is clear. It is also said that The Doctrine of the Mean has some works attracted by mystery novels. For example, the first chapter talks about "neutralization" and "harmony", but not about "mediocrity". Perhaps "courage" is a suspense between "neutralization" and "harmony". If they can't really take root deeply, these mysteries can be described as profound.

Classics are the essence handed down for thousands of years, the treasure worth digging repeatedly for thousands of years, and the root that we must take root deeply.

Rooting is not only the goal of a towering tree, but also the dream of every flower and grass, and it is also our unremitting pursuit to make ourselves better and the world we live in better!

Just like the book "The urgent task is to gnaw at the bottom" recommended by teacher Song Ge, I think the so-called "bottom" books should be books such as University and The Doctrine of the Mean.

Because the beauty of the university, the beauty of the golden mean, the beauty of the four books and the five classics, and the vastness of China's traditional classics are the foundation for us to settle down, cultivate our morality and revitalize China!

Comment on Fu Peirong's The Doctrine of the Mean in University 3 Before reading Fu Peirong's The Doctrine of the Mean in University with a narrator, I had never really read any ancient classics. If the study of classical Chinese can be traced back to high school, it was more than ten years ago. Because I majored in foreign languages, I have hardly touched "Chinese", let alone studied ancient classics.

The first Chinese teaching researcher I met after I joined the work was a knowledgeable and skilled old teacher. He has a solid foundation in language and writing, and can be said to blurt out ancient classics. He once gave me a lot of encouragement. I was deeply moved by the thick and warm language, but I was also determined to read more classics and be a teacher with a cultural background. Lazy and lazy, I spent many years in a daze. Have time to play online games, but have no energy to read classics; I have time to chat with my friends, but I am not in the mood to immerse myself in a book. As a result, time flies and sighs in leisure. In the meantime, I have occasionally read some famous sentences in "Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean", such as "I say that China and foreign countries are sincere, and gentlemen are cautious about independence"; "erudite, interrogative, thoughtful, discerning and persistent" ... after all, it is not a climate, and most of them are forgotten because they have not reviewed and consolidated.

Zibo Chengfeng Zhao and Yantai Li Xia's sincerity and persistence in reading classics are admirable and shameful. It's a shame to often read other narrators' articles and compare their superficial words. Their articles always give people a real, gentle, fresh and heavy feeling, but they write and write by themselves, but they just turn around in the same place and can't see progress and growth. I think this has a lot to do with reading accumulation, literacy and lack of cultural background. Just imagine, how can my false efforts of fishing for three days and drying the net for two days be compared with their thirst for knowledge and endless writing? My growing heart is always there, and my intention to study is also very rich, but I have no choice but to act and stand still. Until I started reading Fu Peirong's Interpretation of the Doctrine of the Mean in University with the narrator, it seemed that I could no longer find excuses for procrastination and sophistry, so I forced myself to chew this "difficult book".

Yes, this book is really hard to chew-not only The University and The Doctrine of the Mean, but also the annotations made by Mr. Fu Peirong are difficult for me. He widely quoted the classics and traced back to the source, citing a large number of classic works such as The Analects of Confucius, Mencius, The Book of Changes, and Notes on University Chapters and Sentences for annotation. For a person with poor knowledge like me, I have to read every chapter repeatedly to get a little bit. Only by reading the translation three or five times can we have a superficial understanding of the original text.

Repeatedly reading "From Tian Zi to Shu Ren, one depends on self-cultivation", Zhu rewrote "University" as "one chapter of classics, ten chapters of classics", in which "one chapter of classics" is about "three cardinal guides" and "eight items". The three schemes are: the way of a university is to show virtue, be close to the people and stop at perfection; "Eight items" include "discipline, knowledge, honesty, honesty, self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world". "Self-cultivation" is the key in the "Eight Items" and plays a decisive role. Cultivation means cultivating words and deeds, and everything you say and do should conform to etiquette, etiquette and etiquette. "Words and deeds, the reason why a gentleman can move heaven and earth is careless?" Words and deeds are external manifestations, rooted in internal cultivation, which can be traced back to honesty, honesty, knowledge and dignity in turn. For teachers, how to "cultivate one's morality"?

"To cultivate one's morality, be upright first. Be honest with the right people. If you want to be sincere, let him know first. Know in the matter. " I think, for teachers, "self-cultivation" can probably be understood as: correcting one's own mind, awakening or recovering the initial heart of "being a man"; Sincerely face your own ideas, ask yourself what kind of teacher you want to be and what kind of education you want to protect; It is good to understand the "good and evil" in education, and it is good to do real education and provide long-distance irrigation for children's growth. It is "evil" to kill the goose that laid the golden eggs and catch the golden eggs, only to see the immediate scores and ignore the children's life development. It can also be simply understood as "a stupid teacher who doesn't work hard". Distinguishing the relationship between external temptation, honor and self is to pursue "dignitaries" in the real world, or to stick to ideal poetry and distance. When we sort out the above problems and begin to explore and practice the education of "what our hearts yearn for", we can really embark on the road of "self-cultivation" Even though Xiu Yuan has a long road to self-cultivation, we will not change the pace of seeking up and down. And our whole educational life should be "all about self-cultivation." Only in this way can we "push ourselves and others to promote education", as Li Xia said in his lecture, and as Mr. Tao Xingzhi said, "Students should be eager to learn. Only a gentleman who never tires of learning can teach a student who never tires of learning. "

It may be difficult to walk on the road of education, but as long as we can "learn, learn and learn again"; If you ask, you know what to do; There are blessings, and the blessings of thinking are also blessings; There are differences, including Fu Ming and Fu CuO. There are blessings, there are blessings. If a person can do it, he will do it; People can do it in ten ways. They have thousands of ways. I believe that we can also "be stupid, but be soft and strong". "

One month's reading time is running out, and my study of this book, or the classics, has just begun. In this period of "close contact" with the classics, it gave me a call and guidance, far from reading or understanding a chapter. It awakens my hidden and dormant knowledge and yearning for classics, and calls me to try to start a different, richer and more fulfilling life-this is really a beautiful encounter that began in spring.

If you want to add a deadline to this beauty, I hope it is-forever.
