Bacon once said: "History makes people wise, poetry makes people wise, calculation makes people precise, philosophy makes people profound, morality makes people noble, logic and rhetoric make people eloquent. "Reading Cai Gen Tan, a book that combines history and morality, poetry and philosophy, the spirit of the times and national characteristics, is like water dripping through stone, lasting and powerful, infiltrating my soul.
The traditional culture of the Chinese nation is profound and has a long history. The long river of history continues to wash away and baptize, leaving behind countless magnificent pearls. "Cai Gen Tan" is one of the shining pearls! What kind of book is "Cai Gen Tan"? The ancients said: "Tan people talk about things. The root fragrance is determined by its nature." Floral fragrance can be tasted with the nose, fruity fragrance can be tasted with the mouth, but root fragrance needs to be tasted with a wise mind.
"Cai Gen Tan" is the crystallization of a hermit who has fully understood life, integrating Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. He has a unique insight and tells the secrets of his own life. I think "Cai Gen Tan" is a book that thinks about human affairs and is a book in which benevolent people have different opinions and wise people have different opinions. He likes to read "Cai Gen Tan", he thinks: "Chewing the vegetable roots is fragrant, and you can do everything."; Business tycoons like to read "Cai Gen Tan" because they think "Cai Gen Tan" is a wonderful book and an important guide for business management in the business world. "Guidebook" and "textbook" for entrepreneurs to cultivate themselves; monks like to read Cai Gen Tan because of its broad-mindedness, tolerance and kindness. I also like to read "Cai Gen Tan" because I think it is full of philosophical flavor, full of flexible philosophy of life, and full of poetic charm. I think "Cai Gen Tan" is a good book for cultivating one's moral character and being a good person. I feel very peaceful when I read it. Each vivid example and paragraph of plain and simple language makes me feel like I am talking about daily life. I am telling it so that I can benefit unconsciously: Oh, it turns out that there are some Things can still be handled this way.
After reading "Cai Gen Tan", I got a lot of inspiration from it. As a teacher, we must not only have the patriotic spirit of "worrying about the world first, and rejoicing after the world's happiness", but also based on our own work position, "worry first about the students, and rejoice after the students' happiness". Enthusiasm for work; not only must have the mentality of "no ambition can be clear without indifference, no progress can be achieved without tranquility", "no complaining about heaven, no neglect of others", but also the mentality of "strengthening oneself through self-cultivation", "establishing one's sincerity through rhetoric", and "stone "The strong can be broken, but cannot be taken away; the elixir can be polished, but cannot be taken away." As an ordinary person, if he wants not to lag behind this era, he must not only be prepared for danger in times of peace and take precautions, but also be "learned. , interrogate it, think carefully, argue clearly, and practice it diligently" to constantly recharge and refuel yourself!
Among the clothes that are popular on the street, the most fashionable ones are often the easiest to go out of style, while the ones that remain the same for a long time are those with simple and ordinary styles. For a person, material needs are just an adjustment to life, but they cannot become the main theme of life. What we can eat endlessly is simple meals, and the sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy are just condiments. The key to a fulfilling and practical life is to have a good mentality and a healthy moral concept. After reading "Heaven and earth cannot live without harmony, and people's hearts cannot live without joy." I realized that the world is a mirror. If you frown at it, it will frown at you; if you smile, it will smile at you. Happiness is not a reality, but a feeling. Constantly sustaining joyful emotions at work and in life is the foundation for happiness. After reading "The heart must not be empty, for emptiness will lead to righteousness and principle; the heart must not be empty, and the reality will be for material desires", let me understand that the human heart cannot be humble, and humility can allow justice and truth to settle in the heart; the human heart cannot be unfulfilled and enriched. Only then can greed and material desires not invade. When people are learning and being a person, they must be good at listening to the opinions of different people and change themselves. They must continue to be in a state of "coming from the source of living water" in order to constantly correct their words and deeds
"The descendants of the heart "Those who have no roots but no roots but flourishing branches and leaves" warn us that every word and deed of our parents will have a subtle impact on our children. A kind-hearted person, his descendants will naturally learn to be kind-hearted.
By analogy, if we as teachers have selfless dedication, lead by example, the spirit of excellence, lofty teacher love and good words and deeds, students will also be subtly affected. Therefore, we should always reflect on ourselves: How much joy, confidence, happy enjoyment and successful experience has my education given to students?
After reading "Those who act according to their will will stop as they act, how can it be a wheel that never retreats; those who understand from emotion and consciousness will be confused when they have enlightenment, and will eventually be a very bright light." It made me know how to do things. Don't let your own whims take over, and don't understand the truth with too much emotion, so that you will avoid detours. It really makes sense when you think about it. As teachers, our job of educating people is a long-term one, not immediate. Therefore, you should not be impulsive when working. Because perceptual passion is like a fire on dry wood, it sounds like a fire, but it will burn out in a moment; reason is a silent coal, which can emit lasting light and heat. People who start and finish things rely on perseverance and perseverance. If you want to be an ordinary but not mediocre teacher, in addition to learning to adapt to the current situation and having a sense of responsibility, the key is to work hard. Shallow water is noisy, deep water is silent. I hope that I am that intriguing deep water, with thick accumulation and thin hair, I can show the essence after precipitation every day!
Every time I go for a walk in Martyrs Park, I have to pass the Cai Genxiang Hotel not far from the entrance. I have enjoyed the fragrance of "Cai Gen" in this store many times, but I didn't know that there is also a book called "Cai Gen Tan" "The book shows how ignorant I am.
As a teacher, you should first have lofty teacher ethics, be a role model for others, and be a role model. Only in this way can we teach and educate people better. Reading is the foundation of who we are as human beings, and it is also the source of strength for self-development and self-change. Although I don't read many books, I have always been pursuing a "state" of reading. Generally speaking, the highest state of reading is a state of selflessness. The first time I saw the book "Cai Gen Tan", reading its text was like having a conversation with Hong Yingming himself. One sentence can be used for a lifetime. This is "Cai Gen Tan", a good book "Cai Gen Tan". Sample essay on reading "Cai Gen Tan"
I have been reading "Cai Gen Tan". I bought the related series of books from a street stall a long time ago and read it! It was written by Hong Yingming, a hermit in the late Ming Dynasty. The three words "Cai Gentan" illustrates that "if you bite the root of vegetables, you can do everything". It tells the author's understanding of life. It is a kind of precipitation and accumulation of life experience, with detachment, emotion and understanding. It is a collection of Confucian thoughts and a book on Buddhist principles. It contains a lot of philosophy, which will make you suddenly enlightened after reading it. Whether you are stuck in interpersonal difficulties or workplace disputes, it will give you a key to open the door to troubles. Not only that, it can also broaden your mind, cultivate your body and mind, and make you a sensible and righteous person. I am not exaggerating when I say that. Then listen to me carefully. A gentleman's thoughts should not be kept unknown to others by the blue sky and the bright sun. The talent of a gentleman is hidden in jade and pearls, and cannot be easily seen by others.
This shows that one should be upright and aboveboard, just like on a sunny day. People say that "a gentleman is magnanimous" and "people with knowledge do not do secret things." As for talents, don't be eager to show your talents to avoid being jealous. While revealing ourselves, we need to wear masks. We wear different masks to face all kinds of people. Of course, the purpose of wearing masks must be based on sincerity. Don’t show up regardless of time or occasion. Not only will this not attract your attention, you may also be looked at with jealousy. So be low-key. The reason why the sea can become the sea is because it is lower than all rivers! There is no lofty career in life. If you get rid of the worldly sentiments, you will become famous. If you do not have much time to learn, if you reduce the burden of acquiring things, you will reach the holy state. Being a human being does not require you to achieve a great career. As long as you get rid of worldly fame and wealth, you can become a celebrity. There is no secret to learning. As long as you get rid of the temptation of things, you can reach the supreme state.
If we are not swayed by fame and fortune, we can concentrate on a career as long as we can get rid of worldly sentiments and material desires. Be indifferent, wise and ambitious. If the pursuit of fancy clothes and delicious food and the pursuit of material enjoyment continue, then our lives really have no meaning. There is really no need to kneel down and flatter you, just let everything happen. The righteousness of the sunny day is cultivated from the dark room and the leaky room, and the economics of turning the world is born from the humble place.
The aboveboard integrity like a clear day is cultivated from a poor and difficult environment, while the great talents and strategies to turn the overall situation are honed from a cautious attitude. I understand that "without a lot of experience" "How can plum blossoms smell so fragrant even if they are to the bone?" And we must act with a cautious attitude of "walking on thin ice as if we are facing an abyss." Of course, I still have a lot of experiences, so I won’t share them all with you one by one. I suggest that everyone should read this book! Sample essay after reading "Cai Gen Tan"
I heard a friend mention the book "Cai Gen Tan" a long time ago. My friend highly praised this book and praised it as a book of self-cultivation and wisdom. I also thought I read it carefully in my spare time, but I have no choice but to be busy with the world and never take time to read and appreciate it.
Recently, my daughter’s school distributed this book to the children and asked every student to memorize the information in it. My eight-year-old daughter couldn't understand the meaning behind each quotation at all, so she asked me for help and asked me to read and talk to her. So I took this opportunity to open this "Cai Gen Tan" for the first time.
"Cai Gen Tan" is a collection of quotations on cultivation, life, conduct and birth, collected and compiled by Hong Yingming, a Taoist at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. There are different opinions on why the dish is named after the vegetable root. Most of them believe that it comes from an old saying by scholars in the Song Dynasty - "If a person can bite the vegetable root, everything can be done." The author uses this book to express his indifferent attitude of being willing to live in poverty and his ideal of ordinary and transcendent life, which is worthy of admiration and learning by future generations.
In modern life with a high pace of life, people are busy running around and have no time to stop and reflect on their hearts. Just like me, I am busy with work and life every day. I often encounter various failures, setbacks, confusions and knots, which often leave shadows and scars in my heart. While teaching my daughter how to read, every quotation in "Cai Gen Tan" touched me deeply, and I suddenly became enlightened like an enlightenment. I read a few paragraphs every day, and I have some new thoughts and insights every day. . While reading, I opened my heart and let these warning and awakening quotes surround and infiltrate my heart, changing my mentality, my life, and my outlook on life and world.
"The poor will be poor even if they are rich, and the contented will be rich even if they are poor. The poor will hate the jade when they share the gold, the feudal prince will not be rewarded, the powerful will be a beggar, and the contented will make quinoa soup. The quotation is of great educational benefit to the pursuit of wealth and mutual comparison in today's society. In the past, I have always been lost in material desires and constantly longed for better material conditions. As a result, my heart was never satisfied. In comparison with others, I always hoped for things beyond my potential, and my life was impetuous. And vanity. At this moment, I understand that there is no end to the pursuit of material. Although I do not have luxurious material conditions, I have a happy family and a stable and reliable job. Although my life is ordinary, my spirit should be Happy is rich. Being content and always happy is a state of mind for people to pursue happiness, and it is also a philosophy of life.
"You should look back early when you are proud, and let go when you don't care. Favors are always harmful, so you must look back early when you are happy; when you fail, you may succeed, so let go when you don't care." Life is always Frustration and triumph are constantly being staged. This quotation tells us, don’t get carried away when you are proud, and don’t be cold-hearted when you are frustrated. For me, who just transferred from sales to general office, this sentence can be used as a workplace motto. Facing the new environment and new work challenges, I can only work harder and do my job better; when I encounter setbacks at work, I will no longer be discouraged, but continue to work hard and persevere until I succeed.
Life is like this. You must be able to find the factors of happiness in ordinary life, you must be able to remain vigilant in the face of honors, and learn to persevere in the face of setbacks. "Cai Gen Tan" taught me how to deal with life, work, and life.
A "Cai Gen Tan", a warning book, I hope you can steal a little leisure time, find it, open it, read it, let your heart fly with the words, and let your life follow the reading. Enter another realm.
