A Brief History of Chinese Philosophy
Let’s get in touch with something new (newme).
The word mentioned in "The Weather Man" comes to mind, refreshing.
Look at those masterpieces, what's so great about them.
I don't want to dismantle the package because the dust is too thick.
Pull out a book from your pillow.
, by Feng Youlan.
I took a look at the introduction and found it quite interesting.
A brief history of Chinese philosophy written in English by Chinese people was translated into Chinese and published in China.
The original purpose should be to bring Chinese philosophy to the world.
I actually "stolen" this book from my eldest brother's house.
(Thinking of Kong Yiji stealing books)
It can't be considered stealing.
It's just that when I went, my eldest brother and his family were not there.
At that time, I thought about borrowing it and then secretly sending it back, but it turned out that this "borrowing" was the end of spring and the coming of autumn.
My family never asked about it.
I don't think anyone in my family will read this book...
I guess I bought it a long time ago when my eldest brother was taking the postgraduate entrance examination/civil service examination.
Okay...a lot of nonsense.
Let’s talk about it first and then on the cover, “In the small scene, the form and spirit are self-sufficient.”
Think about it, the sparrow is small but has all the internal organs.
Also...even though flies are small, they are still meat...
Laughing to death, it seems that fly chitin is a very good nutritional supplement...
Speaking of which, I wanted to mention watermelon seeds a few days ago.
I just thought, who is so talented who would think of this business opportunity.
When you eat watermelon, don’t you just spit out the seeds?
Continue..storytelling.
(Thinking of Joey Yung's "Little")
The text has 300,000 words.
Keeping everything simple...I'll just quote a few and talk a little bit.
I haven’t read speed-reading books for a long time. In recent years, I’ve occasionally read at a snail’s pace. It might take several months to finish a book.
Oh, except for online novels. Last year, I reviewed a fantasy novel I had read before, and it only took me more than ten days to read millions of words.
"At the beginning of man's life, his nature is good."
"The greatest has no outside, the smallest has no inside."
It is said that foreigners value religion, while Chinese people value ethics.
Somewhat interesting.
What about me?neither.
The heart cannot be separated from ethics (Chinese, family culture), but the soul...
You may think that several religions have their own merits.
For example, the theory of original sin in Christianity, the transcendence of Buddhism, etc.
These are things that most Chinese people don’t think about.
"People are not satisfied with the real world but pursue transcending the real world. This is a desire deep in the human heart."
Next, we talk about "birth" and "entry into the world".
I am undoubtedly the former...
It is also said that a saint "both enters the world and emerges from the world."
Alas, it is not an ordinary difficulty.
"The cosmic consciousness within man."
Is heaven and man one? I think of that global citizen again...
Oh... I mentioned the saying in ancient poetry that "the words are endless but the meaning is endless".
Mention the implication.
"Zhuangzi", "The speaker is careful because he is so proud that he forgets to speak."
"Laozi", "When a superior man hears the Tao, he practices it diligently; when a sergeant hears the Tao, he lives or perishes; when a lowly man hears the Tao, he laughs. Not laughing is not enough to practice the Tao."
To quote an eminent monk, "Translation work is like chewing rice to feed people."
This statement makes people laugh...
I have said before that the translation and the original text are always two different entities.
Sometimes, it is better not to read only the translation.
Because translation is a kind of re-creation by the translator.
"The opposite is the movement of the Tao." Hahaha.
Is it meaningless again?
"Taoism condemns civilization and advocates a return to simplicity; it idealizes children's innocence and despises knowledge."
This... is me too?
Thinking of the lyrics of that song, innocence lost.
I have never despised knowledge.
It's just that I'm not very interested in it personally.
I was a little tired and wanted to rest, but when I read the following sentence, I suddenly woke up.
I always want to get myself right...
"Confucianism emphasizes personal social responsibility, while Taoism emphasizes the natural and automatic nature of people's hearts."
"Zhuangzi": "Confucianism is within the realm, Taoism is beyond the realm."
Fang refers to society.
What is society?
I have no idea.
I am in this world, but I am not in this world.
"Lieh Zi Shuo Fu": "If the creatures of heaven and earth grow into one leaf in three years, then there will be only a few things with leaves."
(I won’t mention the background of the story. If you are interested, please search it yourself.)
The author said that only God, if there is a God, can decide what is the absolute truth.
Even if there is a God, I will not accept it.
(Thinking of "Saint Seiya Celestial World" and Nietzsche's "God is Dead".)
Hundreds of schools of thought, Taoism and famous schools, think of...
"The Tao can be Tao, but it is very Tao. The name can be named, but it is very famous."
“Confucianism originated from scribes;
The Taoists flow and are based on the hermits."
A hermit does not care about worldly affairs.
Zhuge Liang said, "I work hard on my land in Long, and I don't seek to be heard by the feudal lords."
If I could choose... I would probably prefer a hermit... rather than a scholar.
I'm really too lazy to worry about worldly things.
Many problems are unsolvable and have existed since ancient times.
If you don't care about it, you'll only be looking for trouble.
