Zilu asked strong. Zi said: "The south is strong, the north is strong, or is it strong?" Gentle to teach, no retribution, the south is strong, and the gentleman lives in it. The golden leather is not tired of dying, the north is strong, and the strong live in it. Therefore, the gentleman is harmonious but not flowing, and it is strong! Neutral and unleaning, strong and correct! The country has a way, it is not blocked, and it is strong! There is no way in the country, it will not change until death, and it will be strong! ”
In fact, "The Mean" is a very awkward book, cloaked in morality, taking advantage of the weaknesses of human nature (much like modern marketing) and answering questions left and right. And fortune-telling makes you feel as if it makes sense,But I don't know what the truth is. No matter what you ask, he goes around and "sells products".
Just go to the doctor with you, the first level of marketing, the doctor gives you a bunch of symptoms that are plausible - in short,There's always a symptom for youAt this time, most people believe it and think that the doctor is very effective, but you ignore that what he said is that the symptoms are not **.
Then a small number of shrewd people continue to ask, and the doctor will use the second layer of marketing to say, "Trust me, I'm an expert".Look at his "attitude" tailored to you,Then your thinking shifts from asking ** and treating the disease to "yes, I'm a patient, he's an expert, I have to listen to him" at this time almost 100% people believe it.
Or I have to believe itNot to mention changing hospitals, it's still the same, just one way, after all, there has to be a result in seeing a doctor today, right?
Looking at the product "The Mean" again, you find that in the end, all that turns around is the word "in", and you can't understand "in" in **, and it is difficult to say what the relationship between "in" and the problems you discuss and the diseases you see. It's like "drink plenty of water" and applies to all patients.
Of course, a smarter doctor will also tell you when to drink, how to drink, and what is the standard for more.
"The Mean" is the extra glass of waterYou ask about the daily code of conduct, answer "in", you ask about the country's prosperity and strength, answer "in", you ask about the standard of life, answer "in", you ask how to successfully get rid of poverty, answer "in"...
You want to ask questions about life, society, civilization, and history, and ask what "The Mean" isThere is a cup of "medium" word water to answer, inherited for thousands of years, but also doubted for thousands of years.
The 31 chapters of "The Mean" are to sell the word "medium" again, some chapters are sold directly, and some chapters are put on a cloak and sold as auxiliary products, so the world reads"The Mean" is not so difficult
What coats did "The Mean" choose, like the "bluffing" and "hooking" that marketing has learned
Review the first ten chapters:
Chapter 1, Infinite Ambiguity, Mandate of Heaven, Cultivation, Gentleman, World, Prudence, a product manual full of gorgeous rhetoric, these words are the coat of the back.
Chapter 2, directly selling, buying my products is a gentleman, not buying my products is a villain. The outer garment is "gentleman".
Chapter 3, (not the customer) too lazy to introduce. You can't afford it, you don't understand.
Chapter 4, directly selling, I say okay, you say no, you don't deserve (no).
Chapter 5, if you buy less, it is not good in the world (not my product).
Chapter 6, tree examples, examples of successful cases, you see Shun, with this product, is it very successful (weak question, when the product of the mean leaves the factory, Shun is reincarnated).
Chapter 7, don't buy, it's good that you don't understand the product, it's you stupid, it's you, it's you, it's your mental fault.
Chapter 8, Tree examples, examples of successful cases, don't say Shun, say Yan Hui, isn't it very successful to buy now?
Chapter 9, (Customer) The words in the manual, why don't you worry about the world when you buy my products.
Chapter 10, (Customer, on the set) Qiangguo, you buy my products are powerful.
Well, after complaining and explaining, I will return to the interpretation of the eleventh chapter of the so-called "The Mean", in fact, I personally think that in this chapter, the question asked by Ziyou is very clear, that is, to ask "whether the south (cultural governance) is strong, or the north (the rule of force) is strong", and how to build a strong country. ”
In fact, this question is the same as many other questions in the mean, and now elementary school students know the answerBut the people of that era were not developed until now, so there were those questions.
Confucius, as a "prophet", then gave the answer: "pay equal attention to civil and military". Then, the emphasis was placed on "paying equal attention".Medium.
But I didn't tell you that the "middle" of a strong country stands at the height of the overall situation, and adjusts the ratio of civilians and military forces at any time according to different national states and different periods.
Because Confucius believed that "the world" did not deserve to know, "The Mean" is a view of the superior to the inferior, which is almost the same as what the "rich man" said now. So reading through "The Mean", either I am impatient to tell you, buy the mean, and finally explain a few words, just say that the world can't meet this standard, is it a bit of a hunger marketing flavor.
China's road to economic power after reform and opening up is to start with the south and then the north, and the easy and then the difficult. The "profit-seeking" nature of human beings and the nature of human "imitation" will spontaneously promote the integration of the North and the South, relocation or learning. At this time, as soon as the "national" policy is guided, opening the traffic is to open the floodgates of integrationThen I guess that there will be a more relaxed household registration system in the north and south, and in the future, not only an ID card will travel all over the country, but it may also be a household registration to settle all over the country.
The so-called backward policies are just means of phased adjustment. For our little people, it is the question of which city you are in in the previous life, which city you will go to in this life, and which city you will be in in the next life or the next life, no matter whether you have education or not, as long as you want to go to which city and be a person in that city. It's a matter of time, but I don't think it's too far off, and it can happen in our children and grandchildren.
