Can anyone tell me how to learn Chinese culture? Or what classics do you need to read for the introd

Thank you for asking this question. In my current ability, I can't answer all the questions you asked, but I will borrow words from Professor Wang Caigui, a global promoter of Bible reading, in his book "The Wisdom of Education".

Read the book a hundred times, and its meaning will be revealed. "If you want to learn Chinese culture, take the classics of Chinese culture as an example, it is not too late to familiarize yourself with these classics first, and then read the annotations if you want to understand them. At that time, to understand word by word, chapter by chapter, not only will it not be difficult, but it will be integrated and comprehended, confirming the joy of 'learning and learning'.

So how can you become familiar with these difficult classical Chinese? As the saying goes, half of the Analects goes all over the world, so let's read the Analects first. According to Ouyang Xiu's statistics, the Analects has more than 15,900 words.

At the speed of an ordinary person, with 200 words per minute, you can read it 1 time in about an hour. At first, I felt a little embarrassed, but after reading it more than the first or twenty times, it gradually became more comfortable, and even read it once in 40 or 30 minutes. I can almost memorize it after reading it 100 times.

The specific reading method is as follows: Because each chapter of the Analects is independent, it can be read separately, for five minutes and 10 minutes, or even for 1 minute and two minutes, as long as there is a copy of the Analects with you, you can open it and read it anywhere. You can put a copy of the Analects everywhere around your life, each book has its own progress, prepare a bookmark in each book, read it, clip it, and continue to read it next time until you finish it.

Draw a line at the end of the book after reading it once, write a 'positive' character after reading it five times, and wait until you have crossed 20 straight characters, which is a hundred times.

After reading the Analects a hundred times, some people will want to continue to read "Lao Tzu" ("Lao Tzu" 5144 words, read it again in half an hour), and some people want to read it again, Yong's "University" 1906 words, "The Mean" 4056 words, a total of less than 6000 words, and you can read it again in half an hour. Or Tang poems or the Book of Songs and the Book of Changes. It is even possible to read as many as you want to read the Analects.

Cheng Yichuan once said: "I have been reading the Analects since I was 178, and I already knew the meaning of the text at that time, and the longer I read it, the more I felt that it was meaningful. 'That is, the book "Analects" can accompany you for a lifetime.

This is the original text in Professor Wang's book.

This method can be read by oneself, can be read by husband and wife, can be read by parents and children, and can be described as parents and children reading the book of sages together! Or offer two or three confidants to read.

Sinology covers a wide range of content, and I hope we can start from the honest reading method of reading the classics of Sinology to understand the traditional Chinese culture!

Hope it helps!

How to learn Chinese culture? How to get started with Chinese culture?

One is to generate interest; second, be able to read and understand classical Chinese; The third is to follow a certain order, step by step.

I can't understand classical Chinese, I'm not afraid, I'm just afraid that I'm not interested! Slowly you will understand, I am also a science student, I couldn't understand it before, but now I can basically understand it. This may take two or three years.

How can I be interested? Chinese culture is the best culture in the world! Why? Because it has the longest history. 5,000 years and forever! Gold and diamonds are expensive because of their durability.

The order of reading can be from simple to complex, from shallow to deep.

Read the Tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu first, it is easier to understand, many words we have usually heard, such as great wisdom if foolishness, goodness like water, success and retirement, etc., it is a bit kind to read. That's where I started reading.

Secondly, you can read the Four Books and the Five Classics, followed by the Hundred Schools of Thought, and then read history. You can also read history while reading the scriptures, the ancients said, read the scriptures on the soft day, and read history on the first day.

In particular, the most important thing is to read and understand the Book of Changes, this is not a simple reading, the key is to understand, people who do not have enough understanding may not understand it for a lifetime.

The book of history must be read as a historical record.

Let's talk about it briefly, the key is to be interested in reading. Make it a good habit to get up early every day to read a book for half an hour.

Xunzi said that if you don't hear the last words of the first king, you don't know the greatness of learning. Zengguang Xianwen said that the word heirloom is cultivated and read. The Great Hexagram of the Book of Changes says: A gentleman should know more about his words and deeds in order to accumulate his virtue.

The words of the ancient sages are all learning!

Some of the suggestions made by a few people upstairs are more difficult to do, if the landlord just wants to get started, read Mr. Zhang Taiyan's "Introduction to Chinese Studies" and Zhu Weihuan's "Introduction to Chinese Studies", both books are not thick, and they are easy to find. After reading these two books, the landlord will be able to understand the general situation of the various subjects of Chinese culture, history and philosophy, and then read it according to his own interests, but you must know that it is impossible to be exhaustive, the most basic bibliography of Chinese studies is, of course, "Analects", "Mencius", "University", "The Mean", if the landlord is not specialized in the study of Chinese studies, these four books are enough for you to read half a lifetime.
