I don t recommend that the bottom society read the mean

Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-02-11

I've never liked The Mean, not only because it's obscure, but also because even though I barely finished reading it with the help of annotations, I found it to be boring and boring. Those truths are difficult to remember, let alone apply what they have learned and cultivate their sentiments. Later, I found that many people often quote the "famous sayings" in "The Mean" in their articles to prove their correctness or talent, so I tried to find some read-through books, but I still did not grasp the deep meaning. Until recently, due to financial constraints, I received an invitation from a Chinese studies teacher. I don't want to paste some sentences as a Chinese culture, that would make me feel sorry for my name. In the face of economic tension, I can't lose a bit of my self-proclaimed culture. After reading it carefully a few times, I actually read some insights. I couldn't help but say to myself, smug, "Read a book a hundred times, and you will see its meaning." So, from today onwards, I will write something with what I understand as the mean. I hope that through my pen and ink, I can show the wisdom and deep meaning of the mean, so that more people can understand and comprehend the essence of "The Mean".

The Mean" has a total of 33 chapters, one chapter at a time, let's set 33 articles. Before I put pen to paper, I will interpret why my title is "The Conspiracy of the Bottom Society, the Chicken Soup of the Top Society", which is not to belittle the mean, but my personal cognition of "all the great truths in the world". Impractical, self-paralyzing, negative more than positive

Why? Because for us ordinary people, those profound truths are often only superficial. Every day I run around for a living, and in my spare time, I just think about how to relax. Those so-called "big truths" are often just hindsights, not real understanding. They are more like words of self-comfort and soothing to others, full of subjective Ah Q spirit, more of a helpless compromise with the outcome of reality, and a strategy for people to seek inner balance.

Members of the lower classes generally face the pressure and challenges of survival, and their main concern is how to solve the problem of food and clothing, and how to earn money to support their families. Often faced with many injustices and setbacks, they need to have a strong sense of justice and a spirit of resistance in order to fight for their rights. The qualities of "forbearance" and "tolerance" emphasized in "The Mean" may make some people have negative emotions, and even weaken their fighting spirit and courage.

The Mean is a moral and philosophical treatise on the realm of life cultivation in ancient China, and is one of the Confucian classics, which is said to have been written by Zisi (Kong Ling) during the Warring States Period. Its content affirms that "moderation" is the highest standard of moral behavior, believes that "sincerity" reaches the highest state of life, and puts forward the learning process and understanding method of "erudition, interrogation, prudence, discernment, and practice".

Just kidding, that's all for today's sharing, the next issue will continue to share Tingting's content about "The Mean", I'm tired of writing a content in the middle, sharing a little "Book of Songs", "The Art of War" and the emperor Lao'er, celebrity stories are also very likely, so you don't have to worry about being boring, remember to share it when you have time!
