中国人的精神读后感

陈文涛

  A calm and blessed mind enables us to recognize the life of things: that is, imaginative reason, that is, the spirit of the Chinese people." This sentence is the most wanted point of view in Gu Hongming's The Spirit of the Chinese People, which is also the theme of this book.
  Choosing a book is like choosing to understand an idea. The primary reason for choosing this book is to know exactly what the Chinese spirit is, and to know in what way to talk about the broad word "spirit". The second reason is that this great scholar, Gu Hongming, has influenced me. He is proficient in the languages of nine countries, has obtained 13 doctoral degrees, and has translated many classics of ancient Chinese to foreign countries. What different words can he say in the works of such an excellent person?
  Maybe I read too few books, thought is very shallow, have to say that I do not understand very well, many language understanding has a sense of a problem, so it is a little hard to read. If you read this book, you should put yourself in the era of writing. Otherwise, you will have different opinions, at least in my opinion. The background of this book is that the image of China has been seriously distorted since the late Qing Dynasty. In 1915, Mr. Gu Hongming, known as the "old monster", wrote "The Spirit of the Chinese People" in English, aiming to safeguard the dignity of Chinese culture with his own pen and change the prejudice of some Westerners towards China. Knowing this writing background is not difficult to understand that he described the Chinese people too beautifully. In his book, he wrote: "The most wonderful characteristics of the Chinese people, I want to show here that when he lived a spiritual, childlike life, he still had spiritual and rational power, which was not found by the Christians of the Middle Ages or any other primitive nation." These are too beautiful. Today, it seems a bit self-deceiving, because I don't know if we are really so good, I have some doubts. Mr. Gu Lao also believed that the greatest thing Confucius did for the Chinese people was that he gave them a real national concept, which is the real, rational, eternal and absolute foundation of a country, and by doing so, he formed a belief in the national religion. Actually, I don't quite understand this sentence. There are many things like this, so it's a bit difficult to read this book.
  Allowing Chinese men to have maids or concubines, I think polygamy is a mark of the times and a deformity of the system. Three obediences and four virtues bind women. Many reasons cause the inequality between men and women today. Only when ideas collide can we really understand something and narrate many collisions, but the whole book is full of philosophical color and worth reading. When discussing the word "spirit", this book focuses on the spiritual pillar of Chinese existence. Spirit is a delicate and sensitive balance, as well as a belief. Understanding one's own shortcomings and self-depreciation is a kind of thought revealed in the whole book. Under the background of the times, this book is undoubtedly a great work that stirred up the West and greatly safeguarded the dignity of the Chinese people.
