Do these old Chinese sayings sound familiar?Why do people like to say "the old saying is good"?Why are these old sayings still loved by people for thousands of years?
In the book "Nan Huaijin Speaks Old Chinese Sayings", I understood the secret of the enduring Chinese sayings that have been passed down for thousands of years.
The content of this book is from Mr. Nan Huaijin's more than 40 books, carefully extracting nearly 200 old sayings, aphorisms, proverbs and other well-known to Chinese.
For example, the old saying "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, and establish a life for the people", excerpted from Mr. Nan's "Talking about Chinese Culture", tells the ambition of Chinese readers.
As the old saying goes, "Unsatisfactory things are often **, but they can be the same as others", excerpt from Mr. Nan's "Analects of Distinction". Let us understand that everything is changing anytime and anywhere, and what Confucius said about "not necessarily" is to let us adapt and adapt to changes.
Also, the old saying "like a person drinking water, he knows his own warmth and coldness", which is about the cultivation of the state of mind. How to cultivate the inner state of mind is to always maintain the state of mind that no matter how the outside world changes, the inner mind is still at the same level. And this kind of cultivation can be born or enter the WTO, and there is no way to understand it from the appearance. Therefore, a person's true cultivation, as Master Xuanzang said: "Like a person drinking water, he knows his own warmth and coldness."
The book is divided into two volumes, the first volume is the chapter on internal cultivation, including the way of peace of mind, the foundation of virtue, the trick of learning, and the essentials of practice.
For example, in "The Way of Peace of Mind", 20 questions about the determination to read, the cultivation of mood, the concept of blessings and misfortunes, the way to seek wealth, life and death, etc., are told, so that we know how to deal with them.
In the "Tips of Learning", we can understand the tips of learning from 18 aspects, such as who you are reading for, what is the purpose of reading, what is learning, why you should read history, and how to read books.
The next volume is for external use, including the treasure of the family, the method of discernment, the way of dealing with the world, and the way of economic development, covering various aspects such as self-cultivation, family education, and living in the world.
For example, in "The Treasure of the Family", "It is difficult for the wife to be poor and low, and it is difficult for the husband to be rich and rich" tells that the husband and wife have difficulties in protecting each other when they are poor and rich.
"Enri is harmful" tells us that if we love children, we must grasp the size, otherwise we will harm children.
"Adopted son knows the kindness of parents" let us understand that only when we are parents can we understand the difficulties of our parents and understand their love.
