Reading ‘Chinese Spirit’

" Chinese" is a big topic. perhaps only Mr gu, a genius, will dare to tell it in simple words. Mr. Gu Hongming " learned Chinese and western, known as the" late Qing dynasty geek ", proficient in English, French, German, Latin, Greece, Malaya and other nine languages, with 13 doctorates. He was the first person in China to master western science, language and oriental Chinese studies in the Manchu era." This is an introduction to Mr. Gu in Baidu Encyclopedia.

" Chinese" is a great topic, just as Mr. Koo wrote in his book that the Chinese in the north are quite different from the Chinese in the south in character. The northerners are straightforward and frank. However, southerners are gentle and graceful. However, in Mr. Gu's eyes, the spirit of the Chinese people in both the south and the north is the same, they are all docile and all originate from their belief in a " religion of good citizens".

The meaning of this book is to tell foreigners about the peace code that belongs exclusively to the Chinese. Chapter 1 of the book, " Belief of the Good People," says that civilization begins with the conquest of nature, but conquest is the embodiment of human desire, and desire is the main reason for the prosperity of militarism in European society. European governments have surpassed themselves for fear of the growing strength of their neighbors. European governments have continuously developed themselves and armed themselves with weapons. However, the strength of militarism means that war is inevitable. The way Europeans urgently need to change militarism is to learn from Chinese a religion - Confucianism, which is believed by good citizens.

The second chapter of the book shows us the fundamental contribution Confucianism has made to the formation of the Chinese spirit, a kind of gentle, courteous and courteous spirit that comes from the deep heart's core and is different from the Europeans and belongs exclusively to the ancient Chinese. Perhaps as it is written in the book that the Chinese are domesticated, they are extremely docile, but they are not unconditionally obedient. They are like polished pure copper, quiet and honest. The Chinese are like a glass of fine wine. Perhaps they are spicy and bitter at the time of entry, but only through careful taste can their unique charm be tasted.

Life is so bitter, people's life is so hard, so a religion that gives people hope and hope in life is especially important. The solution for Europeans is to invite a bunch of priests to lead them to believe in God. However, this nihilistic belief has failed to get them out of the hardship of life, and instead has made them shoulder a strange " mysterious burden". The Chinese, on the other hand, have a better and more civilized religion founded by Confucius, the greatest philosopher in Chinese history. Confucianism not only preserves the oldest culture in China, but also gives the Chinese a more regular good citizenship rule.

The contribution you have made is no longer for the sake of getting something, but for the sake of getting a sense of honor, a kind of birthright, which makes the police loyal to the country, fulfill their duties, and make every citizen loyal to the king and love his family. This is such a reputation and sense of honor that our ancient society had long-term peace and prosperity. Confucius preserved and better passed down the Chinese culture. However, it is another open secret - love - to truly give such a good citizen's religion a great place in the hearts of the Chinese. The way of a gentleman is people's great love for their neighbors, relatives and friends, and all living beings.

Love for all things is great love. It is this great love that makes " benevolence" live in the hearts of every good citizen in mainland China, makes the Chinese spirit docile, and makes China's society peaceful and stable.
