Excerpts from Yuewei Caotang Notes+Feelings

Excerpt:

1, life is poor. If you are settled, you will fight for it, get out, and do anything.

If you are stuck in poverty all your life, you should be satisfied with your fate. If you are dissatisfied with your fate, you will run around and fight, push away the struggle and use various means.

2, the husband's self-interest, although the scholar-officials may be inevitable. However, selfish people will harm others, and all kinds of machinery and leniency are born of it. They have even been notorious and poisoned all over the world for thousands of years.

Egoism, even among wise scholars, is inevitable. People who want to be selfish will certainly do harm to others, so all kinds of cunning and cunning will happen, all kinds of false accusations and grievances will arise, and even they will be notorious for thousands of years and spread all over the world, all because of this selfishness.

3, husband and tiger do not eat intoxicating, I do not know fear. Generally speaking, fear leads to confusion, confusion leads to distraction, and distraction leads to ghosts taking advantage of it. If you are not afraid, you will have determination, and if you have determination, you will have all directions. If you are omnipotent, you will not be able to do this.

Tigers don't eat drunks because drunks don't know how to be afraid. Generally speaking, because of fear, I will be confused and distracted. When I am distracted, I may take the opportunity to enter. If you are not afraid, you will be quiet, and if you are quiet, you will gather. If you concentrate, evil will not be violated.

4. oh! A gentleman's righteousness is rewarded, and there is no difference between life and death; Little people do everything they can, and life and death are different.

Translated as: woo! A gentleman does not hold others, and there will be no difference between life and death; Small people are worthy of people, and they are not different because they are alive or dead.

5. Those who grow peaches and plums get it. In fact, those who grow thistles get their thorns. Do you smell it?

Haven't you heard that those who plant peaches and plums get their fruits and those who plant thistles get their thorns?

6, cherish its group, people shelter its party.

Animals should protect their companions, and people should protect their own kind.

7. Smart and unique people know everything, but they don't know that people are dead; Only when the economy develops talents can everything count, not when you are dead. If you know that people are dead, everything will be gone; When you are enabled, you will die and everything will stop. Cherish Liuhe and lose it before it is imminent!

Talented people know everything except when people will die; Rich people who start to help the world can plan everything, but they can't plan their own death. If you know that people are dying, you must feel that everything is boring and you have your own way back; If you can plan the time of death, you must feel that everything should be stopped by yourself. Unfortunately, people often ask for it up and down and lose it in front of them!

8. People can do anything I want, which is great.

It is terrible that others can do whatever they want.

9. After careful consideration, don't rush into it.

You should seriously consider the consequences of everything, and never rush into it.

10 means knowing what's going on in the world, but knowing one thing and not knowing the other, many people have immediate effects and worry about the next day.

It can be seen that we only know one thing in the world, but not another. If you only pay attention to the immediate effect, you will leave worries behind.

1 1, the world's villains don't call themselves villains, but they don't call themselves villains. They all criticize villains self-evident.

The villains in the world don't call themselves villains, not only don't call themselves villains, but also curse villains, indicating that they are not villains.

12, fake fairy and fake Buddha, stop at both ends: one reason is silence, which makes people unpredictable; One reason is madness, which makes people doubt that they have something to trust. However, truly silent people will be peaceful, reserved people will be hypocritical; People who are really crazy will March freely, and those who despise the emperor are fake.

Generally speaking, there are only two tricks to pretend to be immortal and Buddha: one is to pretend to be silent, which makes people confused; The other is playing the fool, which makes people feel that he really has something to rely on. However, a truly silent person must be simple, solemn, leisurely and quiet, and any posturing is false; People who really rely on madness must be true and natural in their words and deeds. Anything that looks around and looks uneasy is false.

Feeling:

I have been reading Ji Yun's Notes on Reading Wei Caotang before going to bed these days. I have heard of this book for a long time, but I remember that Ji Xiaolan with iron teeth and copper teeth, which I read as a child, defined Ji Xiaolan as a romantic genius with iron teeth and copper teeth. But then, I seemed to see Mr. Ji Lianhai's Lecture Room. He told me that Ji Xiaolan is actually a mean person, but his talent is really useless. In a lecture in high school, Ji Xiaolan was also mentioned, and the teacher also said that he was also a bitter man in history.

Today, we will bypass the historical evaluation of his personality for the time being. As far as Yuewei Caotang Notes is concerned, I think it is a masterpiece.

Although it is a collection of anecdotes after Mr. Ji recovered at the age of 70, most of the stories in the book are about one truth: ethical education or philosophy of life. He likes to educate people with ghosts and gods, which is inseparable from his high-ranking officials at that time. At the same time, he criticized some dissatisfaction in the real bottom society and the darkness of officialdom.

I think Mr. Wang must know in his heart that a book full of morality and ethics is so boring that few people will read it, so he has caught people's weakness. Perhaps the people will not fully abide by the laws promulgated by the imperial court, but people believe in ghosts and gods and karma because they are afraid that they will be punished by invisible forces if they do not do well. So he told some vivid stories, although it was about ghosts and gods, fox spirits and so on. But the facts really told the people and some politicians.

Writing here, I suddenly remembered an old woman a few years ago. At that time, she was on the bus. The old woman and the old woman next to her said, "I just went to have my shoes repaired, and she gave me five yuan more." I find this not good. God won't forgive me if I take other people's money and wealth. I am a child of God. I couldn't do it, so I walked a street and returned the money to her. " After listening to what she said at that time, I have to sincerely admire that religion and God's revelation to people are more useful than telling her many truths, because some people may not have such a high level of education, but she believes in retribution, God, Buddhism and the Lord. We don't need to talk about religious thoughts for the time being, just teach people to be kind and keep morality.

In Mr. Wang's works, I found that both fox spirits and ghosts and gods have human thoughts, which are particularly interesting and some are humorous. For example, some people say that he is not afraid of ghosts, and then ghosts come to scare him in the middle of the night, and then say to him: Let you say that you are not afraid of ghosts, be afraid!

Another impressive story is that a man saw a fox sleeping under a tree, and then he threw a tile and hit the fox. The fox woke up and ran away without hitting it. When he got home, he suddenly found his wife hanged. He was frightened and shouted for help. At this moment, I suddenly found my wife coming out of the house, and the wife hanging just now disappeared. At this moment, I saw the fox's voice near the eaves: it scared you, too.

There are many such stories. Every time I read this, I sometimes think with a smile that this ghost fox is also humorous and considerate.

There are many books about karma and ethics education. Many stories say that some people are saved at a critical moment because they have done good deeds, while others are troubled by evil thoughts. Although the stories are different, the truth is similar. His essence is to teach people to be good, and it is also an education.

In the first half of the book, Mr. Wang wrote about whether there is reincarnation and ghosts in the world, which left a deep impression on me. At that time, he only read it once, but after so many days, he still remembered it without reading. He said: "If there is reincarnation in the world, then if a person dies, he will be reincarnated. Then there will be no ghosts in the world. " And if there is no reincarnation in the world, then, for thousands of years, so many people have died, then, can't there be so many ghosts in the underworld? "

Here is another example about dystocia ghosts, which can be seen. It's also very interesting.

Teacher Wang discussed the existence of ghosts and gods with dialectical thought, but just when the conclusion that there is no ghost is about to win, a new story appeared, so he seems to have been wandering among ghosts and gods.

Yes, even Confucius was not sure, so he left something like "stay away from ghosts and gods". I think, for ghosts and gods, for uncertain things, I also want to reply to others with Confucius' words. Some people say, what is the end of science? It's theology. Although I can't agree with this statement, at my present level, I can't tell the truth of denying others. Let him do it first.

I don't know why, since I read Yuewei Caotang Notes, maybe I really dream at night. I often dream of ghosts, which is true. When I woke up yesterday morning, I recorded my dream at night with my mobile phone pen:

At four o'clock in the morning, I was surrounded by chaos, and only one elevator train took me to an unknown place. I was so scared that I didn't know if I should get on this bus, but it was the only way out of here, so I dared to get on it. The moment I closed the door, my heart trembled. I don't know anyone in the elevator. They look strange. Later, the dream seemed to disappear and I couldn't remember it anymore. I tried to remember, but I couldn't remember. I only vaguely remember that I got rid of that place and told others my experience. People say, then you have met a ghost. So in the middle of the night, I was awakened by this dream, wrapped myself in a quilt, and I was in a panic. I can feel it through the curtains. It's still dark outside, and the room is very dark. I just want to go to sleep quickly and get rid of the darkness until I wake up the next morning.

After waking up, I lay in bed and asked myself: Is there really a ghost in this world? I don't know how to reply to myself. But seeing the sky outside is so blue, everything is bright and my heart is brave, I will not think about it.

So I thought of dreams. Once upon a time, like my classmates, whenever I had a dream, I would search Duke Zhou through Baidu until I saw Freud's Interpretation of Dreams and Adler's Inferiority and Transcendence. From then on, I treated dreams again, and I looked at them from a scientific perspective.

People are slowly changing their minds.

I analyzed why I had that dream in a scientific way: there was chaos around me, and there was only an elevator-like passage, because I saw the movie The Wandering Earth the other day; As for someone telling me, you've met a ghost. This sentence has been reflected in this book, it is the pressure of real life, dark, and I want to get rid of it in a hurry. This analysis shows that dreams are not so terrible.

Let's go back to Yuewei Caotang notes! I said this book is great, and my views are as follows:

First of all, Mr. Ji himself, after whom he began to create this work at the age of seventy. You know, the Qing dynasty in that era had already begun to decline. As a literary scholar and a defender of a feudal dynasty, he must have hoped that this dynasty would continue to exist, but he was dissatisfied with some existing things. He wants to change, he has a strong sense of social responsibility, but compared with the surging river of history, how can Mr. Ji reverse the direction of the water flow with just a few tears?

However, knowing that you can't do it, although you can't do it, it's for the strength of character, but how can you continue a dynasty alone, even a small number of people? He is a wise man, how could he not know, but the belief in his heart tells him: you should write it down!

The demise of the feudal dynasty is an inevitable choice of history and an inevitable trend of social development. As the last feudal rule, the Qing dynasty is gone!

But he is still thinking, and this kind of thinking has great practical significance. If everyone can stick to the bottom line ethics and the basic dimension of being a man, then the feudal society can develop in the direction of goodness. If everyone with moral value is willing to contribute to his own life and the living groups and give more attention and care, even if the strength of individuals is negligible, the strength of groups is unstoppable, and the harmony and stability of the whole society can be realized!

Confucius said: learning without thinking is useless, thinking without learning is dangerous! The same is true of reading Yuewei Caotang's notes, and so is reading all books. If you read the whole book and only remember those ghost foxes and humorous stories, it's useless to think about the practical significance after the stories! This passage is for yourself and for you who love reading!

Note: I only extracted a small part of the sentences in this book, not because I am lazy, but because many of Mr. Wang's truths and stories are integrated into one. If I extract them, everyone will want to know why. So, if you are really interested in exploring, open this book. I'm sure you won't regret it. You'll find it beneficial to open it.
