读《中国人的精神》所触动的思弦

邻家小乙
What is the spirit of the Chinese people? This is a question that is hard to fathom. As the book says, the Chinese character and the three characteristics of Chinese civilization are: profound, broad and simple. Why is China regarded as a country of etiquette? Is it just because of the perfect etiquette system that runs through the whole Chinese society and permeates everyone? No, in the Chinese mind, respect for others is extremely important. Chinese etiquette is not complicated, but people can feel relaxed and happy. The same is true of the Chinese spirit. It may not be perfect, or even vulgar at times, but it represents something profound that the United States does not possess, something vast that Britain does not possess, and something simple and simple that Germany does not possess.

On December 10, 2008 on the southern metropolis daily has published a paper entitled "fall" lecture room "with Chinese hot fantasy", at the end the author wrote: "in this round of Chinese learning fever, I really don't know how many institutions and experts in good faith to spread the traditional culture, and how many students to read a few of the ancient classics. Of course, I know there are always some people trying. Beijing publishing house has published a series of small books of the great masters, reprinted many popular books written by the great masters of Chinese studies in the 1930s and 1940s for the general readers, which are very worthy of promotion. We can know from it, how the traditional culture should have been popularized; It can also be seen that the debate between elegance and vulgarity emphasized in lecture room is actually a false issue.
Now it seems that the guoxue hot, in my opinion, not only did not effectively bring people peace of mind, on the contrary, it will be pushed to a more utilitarian situation. Confucianism has long since lost its foundation as a national religion, and can no longer save the hearts and minds of Chinese people who are also full of contradictions and conflicts, as it was in the era of the expansion of Confucius's life. And do not be particular about suitable, blindly fry heat, more is to cause the dross of the old times to return, rather than the essence.
Gu's the Chinese spirit was written during the first world war at the beginning of the last century, when European civilization was in crisis. The purpose is to try to explain the spirit of Chinese civilization and reveal its value, that is, the Chinese civilization under the tradition of Confucianism.

The real Chinese: he lived with the reason of an adult but with the heart of a child. The real Chinese have adult brains and child hearts. Therefore, the Chinese spirit is the spirit of eternal youth, is the national immortal spirit. What is the secret of immortality? Unspeakable refinement: a combination of understanding and common sense. What is the law of love? The law of love is to love your parents. What is the law of justice? The law of justice is truth, trustworthiness and loyalty. The highest duty of a good citizen is loyalty, not only in behavior but also in spirit. Now in China, there is no need for natural forces to protect themselves, justice and controversy are higher than natural forces, and moral obligation is something that must be obeyed.
