Ask for an essay of 1000 words on the topic of modern thinking on the beauty of neutralization

, "The Mean" after reading.

This semester, after reading "The Mean", I feel that I have gained a lot. "The Mean" is first of all a book recommended by our teacher in the course "Introduction to Chinese Culture"; Secondly, the selection of our Chinese Studies Society's morning reading this semester is also "The Mean"; Another reason is that I have always known "The Mean" before, and I wanted to read it but didn't read it.

The Mean is the ideological core of Confucianism and even the entire traditional Chinese culture, and the crystallization of the great wisdom of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. According to legend, it is a classic text written by Confucius's grandson, or a Confucian work in the Qin and Han dynasties, which was included in the "Xiao Dai Li Ji", and later became an independent book, and Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynasty divided it into 33 chapters.

The first time I read "The Mean", I felt very confused, I didn't know what it was about, not because the words were difficult to recognize, on the contrary, the words were easy, or the meaning was difficult to understand. In the past, when I read "University", there were many rare ancient Chinese characters, but the meaning of the article was easy to understand. However, I still insisted on reading in the morning and consulted some materials to help me understand.

Now, looking back, I feel that the harvest is still not small.

Regarding the "mean", Cheng Yi said: "Impartiality is called 'moderation.'"', unchanged is not more called 'mediocre'；Zhong is the right way of the world, and Yong is the theorem of the world. "Moderation is the highest moral standard of Confucianism.

Zhongyong takes "sincerity" and "neutrality" as the basic concepts, and describes the metaphysics of "the unity of heaven and man". Therefore, the first chapter of the book is lit by candlelight with "the predicate of the mandate of heaven, the predicate of the way, and the predicate of the way of cultivation". This sentence is a penchant, like the phoenix bird in front of the Yellow Emperor's window "Five Beginnings" ("Spring and Autumn Baoqian Tu" said:

The Yellow Emperor sits in the Hu Pavilion, and the phoenix title book is in front of the emperor, which has the five beginnings of the Wenyan), which is a kind of literary brilliance that blooms instantly. It is a process from the mandate of heaven, from the subtle manifestation, from the nature of the mandate of heaven to the teaching of monasticism.

In the book, it is said that "sexuality" and "Tao" should not be separated from oneself for a moment, and that one's own morality should be cultivated from the aspects of "caution", "fear", "concealment" and "prudence", so as to master the golden mean and promote neutrality. When neutralization is achieved, all things in heaven and earth will be in their place, and all things will grow and develop, and they will continue to grow. The Tao originates from itself and is separated from the self, and a gentleman must learn to seek from himself in order to obtain it.

A true gentleman must be able to learn from things, to remove selfishness from external temptations, and to be good as it is. This quality of self-cultivation and introspection is a must for our contemporary college students. No matter who or what we encounter, no matter what kind of setbacks we will encounter in the future, we must learn to "seek self", find the reason for everything from ourselves, and we should learn from Mencius's quality of "I am a day and three provinces and my body".

However, it is not easy to achieve the realm of "sincerity"! Especially in today's economic and market-oriented society, it is even more difficult to achieve "sincerity". Human nature has many weaknesses, and in the final analysis, it comes down to the word "greed".

Since ancient times, greedy people have lived a miserable life. And moderation can overcome the greed of human nature, so that people can be content and happy. In short, after reading the mean, Yu has benefited a lot from being a person and dealing with the world, and has been used for life.

Distance and thinking.

Thinking is a more profound, thoughtful thinking activity of the march. In the process of seeking knowledge, we should not blindly work hard, but also pay attention to scientific thinking. Here's an example:

Rutherford, the founder of physics, saw a student busy with experiments from morning to night, and instead of praising him, he rebuked him: "You do experiments all day long, what time do you spend thinking?" Rutherford's words are very true, isn't this exactly what he said, "learn without thinking"? Only a combination of learning and thinking can be effective.

Thinking begets doubt. After thinking too much, it is natural to wonder whether this inherent conclusion is correct. For example:

The Italian scientist Galileo Galilei once suspected that Aristotus said that a heavy ball would land faster than a light ball, so he set out to prove that this sentence was wrong. To be able to overturn the "truth" of that time, it takes not only courage but also wisdom, and this, can it be done without thinking?

Think about inventions. "If you don't think deeply, you can't learn from it." Only with thinking can there be new discoveries, breakthroughs from predecessors, rational sublimation, and inventions.

The German meteorologist Wegener fell ill in bed and discovered that every convex and concave part of the Brazilian coast on the world map could correspond exactly to the part of the African coast, which triggered the spark of Wegener's thought, and he carried out a reflection and research, which eventually deepened the new theory --- continental drift. Another example is Mendeleev's 20 years of thinking, repeatedly figuring out the 63 elements that have been discovered, and finally forming the well-known periodic table. Aren't these conjectures, these inventions, and these creations all thought about?

Thinking leads to success. The more the brain moves, the more active it becomes, and the more it moves, the more aura it has. Albert Einstein once said, "Learning knowledge is good at thinking, thinking, and thinking again, and it is by this learning method that I became a scientist."

Hua Luogeng is good at thinking and becoming a great mathematician; Newton thought about the apple and proposed the "law of gravitation" that shocked the world; Archimedes took inspiration from washing and discovered the famous law of buoyancy; Dai Zhen's willingness to use his brain, breaking the sand pot and asking the end has been widely spread ......There are too many examples that tell us that with thinking, we can succeed, but without thinking, we are doomed.

Think about ourselves, are we like Rutherford's students? So fix it now! On the road of seeking knowledge, we learn how to think and develop the habit of thinking, which is a necessary condition for success.

Of course, we can't just think, then it will be a mistake to "think without learning". These two sentences of Confucius incisively discuss the importance of thinking for learning, so let's work together in the direction of success!

Education has transformed a wasteland full of primitive wildness into a modern civilized town. Education has enabled the originally ignorant human beings to move step by step to today's development. Education, the transmission of science, the inheritance of culture. Education is the backbone of the nation and the foundation of humanity.

Education is so important, and teachers are the direct operators of education, the "engineers of the human soul". Every word and action of a teacher can have a profound impact on every student. And if the teacher does not have good personal qualities, then the effect of education will be greatly reduced.

I remember it was the day when I was in my first year of junior high school, and the school held a flag-raising ceremony that day. At the meeting, one of the teachers gave a wonderful speech on educating us to be a qualified secondary school student, including obeying traffic laws. The teacher was radiant on the stage, and every word he said was so exciting, which made people have a kind of energy to struggle and a positive determination.

So I finished the morning with a happy mood and happily set out on the way home. On the way, I suddenly saw a familiar back, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be a teacher who was giving a speech at the conference. I saw him walk to the side of the road, just look around for a moment, and then cross the zebra crossing without hesitation, and in front of him was the red light that made me daunted.

I was stunned, as if the cells in my body had stopped functioning at that moment, as if I had been poured a basin of cold water. I can't imagine that the teacher, who was still teaching us how to be human beings in the morning, gave himself a resounding slap in the face. My mood was so gloomy in the warm sun.
