After reading Cai Gentan's leisure, the insights and philosophies in the book need to be carefully savored. Nowadays, many people can't even read a slightly longer article. Books fill our empty souls, and we are eager for spiritual nutrition. The book has its own golden house, and Cai Gentan's leisurely articles have a sense of reading.
After reading Cai Gentan's leisure articles, I met Cai Gentan for the first time and saw an e-book called "Blind Students" on my mobile phone. This book is an interpretation of "Caigen Tan", which was deeply touched when I read it at that time. The exposition on self-cultivation, social life and treating others has given me great enlightenment. Before the winter vacation, by chance, I found this book "The Complete Works of Caigen Tan" in the school library. I am a treasure. During the holiday, every night in the dead of night, under the soft desk lamp, I gently hold this ancient wisdom and read Caigen Tan quietly, so that my mind can understand the washing and calm my impetuous heart.
The first chapter of "Caigen Tan" is "moral cultivation-stand high, sit flat and walk low", and put "virtue" in the supreme position. At the beginning, it was mentioned that "lead an honest and clean life and abide by morality-people who abide by morality are lonely for a while;" According to the powerful, forever desolate. It is better to be lonely for a while than to bear the eternal desolation. "A person who can adhere to moral principles may be lonely for a while; A person who is attached to powerful people will always be lonely. Open-minded people, thinking about eternal fame after death, would rather stick to moral standards and endure temporary loneliness than suffer eternal desolation because of attachment to dignitaries. What a clean life this is! On the other hand, in our real life, how many people can't resist the temptation of material desires, and thus set foot on the road of no return in life, leaving a lifelong regret. Didn't a "big tiger" or "small fly" that was only found out verify this sentence? " Lead an honest and clean life and abide by morality, and you will live calmly!
In the article "Secret is the most sacred, clever and useless", people are warned how to pursue their own success and dreams. "The stone vibrates unintentionally, and the day is unintentional; If a dangerous man tries to avoid disaster, the sky will try to catch his spirit. It can be seen that the power of heaven is the most sacred. What is the benefit of human ingenuity? " A man who persists in his ambition, although he does not seek happiness with his heart, God inadvertently guides him to fulfill his wish. Although a sinister man deliberately escaped the punishment of disaster, God took away his soul where he deliberately escaped, making it lose its vitality. It can be seen that the magic means used by God is magical and unpredictable. What's the use of mortal wisdom?
When a person cultivates his self-cultivation, morality and potential, happiness and luck will take the initiative to knock on the door even if we are not in a hurry to pursue happiness; When a person doesn't want to succeed, but works hard in that direction, he will get unexpected surprises, just as Lao Tzu said, "the first move is the best." Don't be too eager for quick success and instant benefit, and don't do anything to achieve that goal. On the contrary, when you "don't care" more about reputation, interests and status, and "care" more about morality, cultivation and potential, and do what you should do in a down-to-earth manner, we will reap unexpected surprises.
I have been reading Caigen Tan, which was written by Hong Yingming, a hermit in the late Ming Dynasty, to his daughter in his spare time. The word "Caigentan" expresses the author's supreme state of mind of "biting off the vegetable root and doing whatever it takes". It tells the author's understanding of life and contains a lot of philosophy of life, which will make you suddenly enlightened after reading it. Whether you are trapped in interpersonal difficulties or in the workplace, it will give you a key to wisdom and help you open the door to trouble. Not only that, it can also broaden your mind, cultivate your body and mind, and make you a sensible and upright person. This is a rare book that is helpful to life.
As the saying goes, nine times out of ten things will go wrong in life. As long as you live in the world, it will inevitably involve human feelings and get mixed up with all kinds of troubles. "The heart of a gentleman, the son of heaven, do not make people don't know. The talents of a gentleman are hidden in jade and pearls, and cannot be easily known. " It is expounded that a man should be aboveboard, just like a sunny day, people say "an upright man, an upright man" and "a wise man does not do anything shameful". For talents, in order to avoid being jealous, it is not easy to show their talents in a hurry. While exposing yourself honestly, you should also put on a mask sincerely and face all kinds of people with different masks. Don't show your talents regardless of time and place. This will not only fail to attract your attention, but may also attract envious eyes. Therefore, it is not weakness in the eyes of the secular, but a method of self-cultivation and a wise way to deal with the world. The sea can become a sea because it is lower than all rivers!
"There is no lofty career in life. If you get rid of the vulgar feeling, you will become a celebrity. If you don't gain much from your study, you will be blessed. " You don't have to accomplish something big to be a man. As long as you get rid of worldly fame and fortune, you can become a celebrity, and there is no trick to learning. As long as we get rid of the temptation of foreign objects, we can reach the supreme realm. If we are not dominated by fame and fortune, as long as we can get rid of worldly desires, we will devote ourselves to a cause. Indifferent and wise, ambitious. If we continue to pursue luxurious food and material enjoyment, then it is meaningless for us to really live. There's really no need to kneel down and flatter. Everything will be fine.
"The righteousness between sunny days and days is cultivated from the leaking room in the darkroom, and the sutra of spinning Kun comes out from the thin place." Open and aboveboard moral integrity, like a bolt from the blue, is cultivated from a poor and difficult environment, and the great talent and greatness of turning the overall situation around is honed from a cautious attitude. I understand it as "how can there be plum blossom fragrance without a little cold?" And we must act with a cautious attitude of "walking on thin ice". The process of thinking quietly while reading is also the process of life. If you really want to read a book, you must keep a heart full of truth, sincerity and true feelings. This heart can be controlled by you and released at an appropriate time to let people around you feel your truth, sincerity and true feelings. Reading is also a process of tasting the true meaning of life. A good book with wisdom makes people feel like spring breeze. Each article in Caigen Tan has few words, but it incorporates the most real life feelings. When these words, which combine the wisdom of ancient sages, pass through the tip of the tongue, it is not only a sense of freshness, but also an unspeakable pleasure. Cai Gentan successfully combined the Confucian doctrine of the mean with Taoist inaction, thus forming a unique way of dealing with people, which not only makes people have a positive attitude towards life, but also transcends fame and fortune. I am "shallow in understanding" and can only "taste" the wisdom in the book. Combined with my previous thinking about life, the deepest understanding is "confusion" and how to endure loneliness. Tan Caigen's wisdom confirms the profoundness of China's traditional culture. On the other hand, I also found a winding path to relieve loneliness and troubles-in the dead of night, I opened famous books, calmed down, walked into the world of words, and savored "anything can be done as long as I can bite the root of vegetables".
Thoughts on Reading Cai Gentan's Leisure Articles 3 Recently, the author finished reading Hong Yingming's Cai Gentan. The book is full of broadness, tolerance, indifference, kindness and wisdom, which makes you feel as if you are talking to a wise man and your doubts are dispelled. As an educator, what impressed me the most was the wonderful words about educational criticism.
Hong Yingming said: "The evil of attacking people should not be too strict, so we should think about it; The goodness of teaching people should not be too high, but should be followed. " This means that when blaming others for their mistakes, they should not be too harsh, but should consider whether the other party can bear it and be careful not to hurt their self-esteem; When teaching others to do good deeds, don't expect too much, but consider whether others can do it.
We often complain that children are too difficult to educate nowadays, but have we ever reflected on whether our educational methods are appropriate? Our teacher sometimes scolds students loudly in public and in front of parents; Sometimes make a mountain out of a molehill, expression, severe criticism; Sometimes, long speeches and chatter like old women ... these practices can't achieve good educational results. If we can educate our children to be evil and good as the last sentence said, are we still worried about the bad effect?
I like caigentan. Under its elegant eyebrows, it is a pair of eyes that have been read through the ages. It is like a clear spring, which cleans up the depression in people's hearts and makes people have a clear understanding of things, so as to get rid of things, watch the world quietly and realize life.
