The current global question is: can't we find the meaning of life alive? Especially now on the Internet**, everyone influences each other and hears a lot of information, but they don't know how to choose. How should we respond to times like these? How do you save yourself?
The famous historian Xu Zhuoyun believes that we should find our spiritual home. Specifically, the traditional Chinese classics "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West" are analyzed as examples.
"Water Margin".
On the occasion of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the world was in turmoil. Shi Nai'an wanted to arrange an ideal world: Liangshanbo.
In Liangshanbo, there is no hierarchy for people, there is no high or low for people, and one hundred and eight heroes are like brothers, what a beautiful realm. Who would have thought that Song Jiang, who was among them, would be false all his life, and in the end, one hundred and eight heroes in Liangshan would be finished, and his ideals would be shattered.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Shi Nai'an's junior friend Luo Guanzhong wrote "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", from beginning to end, success or failure is not counted, and righteousness is the most important. Master Guan is purely bad".Righteousness"Up, the head is lost. Liu Bei is bad".RighteousnessIn words, the country is also lost. The irony is that the Sima family is the emperor. It seems that the righteous anger has also been shatteredFinish.
