The three laws of self -cultivation of Chinese people: the law of teapot, the law of chopsticks, the law of the screen

Author: Ciyu

It is difficult to settle without square.

Chinese instruments have its own culture: Naitarian, the device is carried by the device.

One bowl of one, one pot, one tripod, each piece of utensils, no matter the external shape or internal humanities, has knowledge.

Teapots, chopsticks, screens, these three utensils contain three self -cultivation philosophy of Chinese people.

01

Teapot law

Pot, round belly.

The ancients used the round to the sky, thinking that the pot could be available for thousands of things.

Many poetry dictionary allusions use this as an image.

A person named Fei Changfang was recorded in "Hou Han Book". He followed a old man into a pot, and found that the carved railings were painted inside, with strange flowers and strange flowers.

The poet of the Tang Dynasty also wrote such a poem: the world is Qian Kun, and the dream is famous.

This is what the ancients told us that being a pot is like a pot.

"Shang Shu" has words, there must be capacity, De Nai is big.

In this life, there are countless disturbances. If there is no big belly in Maitreya Buddha, how can it be no hindrance and look at the world.

Feng Dao, the prime minister of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, has a generous temperament.

On one occasion, Feng Dao went out of the town in Tongzhou and accidentally neglected Hu Rao.

Hu Rao hated his heart, often abused Feng Dao while being drunk outside the teeth.

However, Feng Dao didn't take it for granted.

Another time, someone took the donkey into the market.

The donkey's face hangs a sign and wrote the word "Feng Dao".

Feng Dao heard it and was not angry. He only said: "There are many people in the same name and surnames in the world. This may be that someone is looking for the owner for the donkey. What is strange?"

"Cai Gen Tan" said that no person is too small, does not send people to private, and does not read the old and evil.

Do not entangle with the villain, not to learn from small things, just treat yourself well.

The Northern Song Dynasty Prime Minister Lu Duan was degraded and returned to the people for being framed.

After returning home, the local officials and gentlemen brought a heavy gift to visit him.

Lu Duan cried and laughed. After telling the truth, the officials of the officials changed their faces, and they returned the gifts back. Before leaving, they even said ironic.

But Lu Duan laughed.

After a few days, the court called Lu Duanguan to restore his post.

The batch of people gathered in Lu Duan's house again, inherited in every way.

The book boy was angry and wanted to drive them out of the house.

And Lu Duan said that this is a common sense and does not need to be confused.

Those who have a large pattern, the width of the eyes can be in the world, and the heart is wide.

The ups and downs of life, the slanderous discussion of the world, they all paid their laughter.

Chopstick

Teacher Zeng Shiqiang once said:

"The Chinese chopsticks are very knowledgeable. One is square and the other is round.

If both ends are round, the chopsticks are easy to roll off. If both ends are square, it will be inconvenient to clip Dongxi.

With round heads, chopsticks are useful; there are square heads, chopsticks can stand. "

This contains the Chinese people's way of life: Wudge is hard to stand, and it is difficult to make a round.

During the Qing Dynasty, the university scholar Zhang Tingyu won the trust of Emperor Kangxi.

Many officials will take the opportunity to take bribes when they are the examiners.

Even if the benefits were not received before the exam, the admitted juniors after the test would give the examiner a gift, which was a common phenomenon at the time.

However, Zhang Tingyu not only gave gifts before entering, but also thanked the students. He also only received a little gift, and he resolutely refused.

Zhang Tingyu warned his student that he had to start from a young age: if he did not stubbornly, he eventually accumulated great virtue.

At the same time, Zhang Tingyu's official philosophy of Huang Tingjian's officialdom was "thousands of words, it is better to be silent."

Qianlong commented on him, and it was clear.

After Zhang Tingyu's death, he enjoyed Tai Temple. Throughout the Qing Dynasty, Hanchen enjoyed this honor.

Too rigidity is easy to fold, too soft is abandoned.

If a person stands for a life, we must abide by the bottom line.

Zuo Zongtang Zeng Guan to the Governor of Liangjiang.

With such power of power, he has never obtained personal gain.

Most of the Lulu was taken out to fund the public cause of the Qing Dynasty.

During the expedition, he lived with the soldiers with the soldiers.

As an official, Zuo Zongtang has his own guidelines and gets along with others. He is also in the world.

Every time I go home, Zuo Zongtang will be a banquet to the neighbors and come to the door to give gifts.

The family asked the reason, and he said that the way of Guanghui was also a long way to resent.

Zuo Zongtang is very clear, the human nature is jealous, and it is easy to accumulate into hatred. Gifts are the best way to resolve the weakness of this human nature.

Knowing good and evil, there is a moment to do things, it is called right;

Humanity and thoughtfulness, it is the emotional intelligence.

The heart is solemn, and the outer Yuantong is the highest state we walk in the world.

03

Screen law

In the Han Dynasty Liu Xi "Release Name · Release the bed" said: "The screen, the words can be barrier."

The ancients often placed the screen behind the bed or in the living room to play the role of windshield and private.

This implies the Chinese philosophy of the Chinese people: subtle and restrained, and it is not public.

Hong Yingming said in "Cai Gen Tan" that the talent of the gentleman, the jade beads.

Those who are too sharp are often easy to become a nail in the eyes of others and stabbing the meat.

A person is low -key and not arrogant. If he is humble, he can win some good feelings and leave a few more rooms.

Feng Yi is one of the "Twenty -eighth Generals of the Yundai" in the early Eastern Han Dynasty.

He assisted Liu Xiu to establish the Eastern Han regime, with outstanding merits.

However, when Feng Yi encountered other officials on the road, regardless of the position of the other party, he would instruct his men to drive away their carriages and avoid letting others go on the road when others go far. Liu Xiu led the generals to fight. At the end of the battle, the soldiers liked to gather together to talk about their records, show off their records, and "talk about rewards".

But Feng Yi always hid under the big tree alone.

Over time, his reputation of "humbleness and retreat" has also spread, and he has won the title of "Big Tree General".

Confucius said that gentlemen are not self -sufficient and do not work.

Those who can reach such a realm are covered with some of them, and they are covered with some of them.

In 1935, London planned to hold a famous Chinese painting exhibition.

French Sinology experts Bo Xihe, Cai Yuanpei, Lin Yutang and others participated in the selection of paintings.

Bo Xihe thought it was China Tong, and he was endless at watching: "This Song painting silk color is good", "That Huizong Goose is undoubtedly a real product."

Cai Yuanpei on the side did not argue and didn't say much, and occasionally nodded gently.

Later, Boji and as if he realized something, and suddenly closed his mouth without talking.

Because he remembered that Cai Yuanpei was a jinshi of the Qing Dynasty, and the official residence was compiled by the Hanlin Academy, and his literary accomplishments were very high.

Such a Bogu Tong today is so humble and polite, but he is so noisy. He deeply feels rude and shallow.

It is reflected in things, and the heart is hidden in the body.

How much ability, how talents are, no need to show up.

Being a person should be like jade. Even if Guanghua converges inside, others can feel the warmth that you emit from the inside out from the inside out.

The display of the road is in the utensil.

From the teapot, we understand that being a person must enlarge the pattern; from the chopsticks, we understand that the world must be in the inside and outside; from the screen, realize the implicit charm.

Everyone is a craftsman of their own life. Learning these three kinds of utensils can help us better polish ourselves and carve ourselves.

Like a praise and encourage friends.
