Chapter 79 Thinking


Chapter 79 Thoughts

Humans are social animals, and "benevolence" specifies "two people". Of these two people, one is "self" and the other is all "others" except "self".

So this is not only a question of what concepts an individual uses to view society, but also a question of what concepts a society uses to manage individuals.

The so-called "way of getting along".

Confucianism believes that these two concepts are dialectically unified. The correct concept of an individual's view of society and social management of individuals is called "benevolence".

Therefore, "benevolence" is actually a Confucian definition of how to be an individual in a group in order to make the group more harmonious and prosperous.

At the same time, Confucianism gave these "two people" a definition of goodness, that is, the definition of "individual goodness" and "social goodness".

Of course, since it is a group, there is a cognitive scope and marginal effects. You can only do things within the scope of your ability. Therefore, there are several steps and levels of filial piety, sincere belief and cultivation of Qi Zhiping. This is the question. Outside words.

As for whether the Confucians have done what they said, that is beside the point.

What is more, because they have not completed it, they deny everything they have ever proposed and practiced, even if the theory itself does not have much fault... This is even more beside the point. .

Zhou Zhi personally believes that there is actually nothing wrong with this concept, but there are problems in practice.

But that was also caused by forgetting to adjust with the changes and progress of the times after it took effect for thousands of years, or that the adjustment was in the wrong direction. What is needed is the social elite's "rectification of chaos" rather than "comprehensive denial". "Overcorrection", or "superficial".

Speaking of a thousand words, Zhou Zhi also firmly believes in one thing - that is, even the most fierce opponents of Confucianism hope that they will actually live in a social atmosphere of "gentleness, respect, thrift and concessions", and hope that they will receive social and harmonious benefits. Treat others with "benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust".

This is the solution of "two people" who have forgotten the word "benevolence". When they have high requirements for the "other-mindedness" of others and society, they first lose or abandon the "self-centeredness" of this end. .

This is a kind of irony.

After understanding and mastering these, return to the text, how can we find the "goodness of one's own heart" and "the kindness of others" hidden in extensive social practices and social relationships?

How can the summarized "two-hearted kindness" be fed back to social practice and social relations in the most extensive way?

How can this concept gain the broadest recognition and support from all strata, groups and individuals in society?

How can we make them as harmonious and unified as a social whole?

This requires reading a lot of books and studying extensively to enrich your knowledge reserve;

We must stick to our ambitions and not give up easily because of external interference and temptation;

We must observe carefully and ask for advice sincerely.

Be good at thinking and don’t pursue any “ultimate goal” too far away. Only in this way can you get the “goodness in your own heart” and “the kindness in other people’s heart” that this society needs and find the correct way to get along. That is "benevolence".

After thinking about this level, the logical causal relationship between the first half and the second half of Zixia's sentence can be truly established.

Zhou Zhi believes that the above should be what the school teaches everyone, but unfortunately, the school only requires dictation and translation.

Having such a "Chinese tutor" in Class 1 really made Xu Youzhi feel relieved.

The Chinese scores of the first echelon of Class 1 are even quietly improving, gradually widening the gap between them and the other three classes.

The third sister is actually a beneficiary, but she majors in science, and her time is already so tight, Zhou Zhi really can't help much.

Zhou Zhi felt that Lao Si’s attitude towards learning was a bit mysterious, so he didn’t leave the opportunity to the third sister to study for another year to catch up.

But these are the fifth uncle’s family affairs, and he has no right to say anything.

The secret question bank is somewhat useful to the third sister. At least she can do one more set than others. As for how much specific help it will have, it’s hard to say.

Before going to bed, pour out the water on the surface of the settled rice milk carefully before going to bed, shovel the bottom starch into the pot and drip it on.

I got up at 6:30 the next day and went for a morning jog by the river with my fourth child, but this time I didn’t have the same good luck as yesterday.

I came back and started reading morning by the window. From time to time I looked up at Jiang Shuyi's movement down the slope, accompanied by the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. Zhou Zhi felt that such a day was so beautiful.

When everyone got up, the third sister, Zhou Zhi, and the fourth sister raised their hands in unison, indicating that they did not need to have breakfast today and started making pig cakes directly.

The rice noodles used in authentic pig cakes are actually quite particular. You cannot use pure glutinous rice flour. You need to mix rice and glutinous rice flour so that the rice noodles will not be too sticky and can be eaten with your hands without sticking to your hands.

The fillings should be made of fire-smoked meat. Fire-smoked meat is actually bacon, but it is fresh bacon just taken out from the smokehouse, paired with stir-fried fresh minced meat, bean sprouts, and minced ginger. Chicken essence, sesame oil... Be particular about adding diced bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, and chopped green onion.

Of course, if there are wild onions, it would be a perfect match.

There are also lard sweet fillings, but Zhou Zhi basically doesn’t make them.

The humidity of rice flour is still very high, so just add dry glutinous rice flour to adjust the viscosity and humidity.

This kind of pig cake is more difficult to wrap than glutinous rice balls because it is not as viscous as glutinous rice balls and is easy to crack, so it needs to be wrapped by beating.

The good thing is that after steaming, you can easily take it out and take it to give away. Generally, the outer ring of pig cake is wrapped with a layer of vegetable leaves to prevent it from getting on your hands, but this particular method does not have this problem.

In order to obtain the visual effect, yesterday's soft grass must be blanched green, pounded, juiced, and dyed green.

This was also a busy job for Datong. The fourth boy lit up the wood stove in the big kitchen downstairs, and for a while, thick smoke billowed upstairs and downstairs.

Mix the glutinous rice flour, take out a little and roll it into a round shape about the size of a ping pong ball, make a small nest in the middle, put the stuffing in, seal it, pat it into an ellipsoid shape, and put it in one by one. In the big steamer, you will have a pot in twenty minutes.

I dug a lot of wild onions yesterday, and Zhou Zhi steamed two of them in total. My grandma inherited it from her grandmother and likes soft and glutinous things. She can keep this for three to five days.

Zhou Zhi picked two plates first and said, "You guys eat first, and I will order some for Jiang Shuyi and his family."

The eldest lady found a small basket and also picked from it. : "How could the fourth child and I eat so much? You You and Sanmei will take some back later and give it to grandma and your parents to try too."

Bringing the plate to Jiang Shuyi's house: "Uncle, aunt, we came to eat pig cake. Jiang Shuyi came here yesterday. Made from wild onions dug by Shu Yi.”

Jiang Shuyi said in surprise: "It's still green! So cute!"

He reached out and grabbed one and took a bite: "Yeah, it's delicious...a little hot..."

Du Yufen When I saw Jiang Shuyi's appearance when I came out, I was furious. She quickly turned around and got two plates and two pairs of chopsticks: "You are a big girl now. Pay attention to your appearance. You are not afraid of other people's jokes!"< br>
week He couldn't help but laugh: "Jiang Shuyi's way of eating is right. This is what you grab and eat at the head of the field before going to the fields. It's a good skill to catch and eat without sticking your hands. Auntie and uncle, you guys are coming too. "

Du Yufen smiled and said: "We have had breakfast, and your Uncle Jiang is making lunch, but Shu Yi has been waiting since the morning. I guess she will go to you if you don't come. The eldest lady ran away.”

"Mom!"

"Speaking of it, you are from Jiachuan and a guest." Du Yufen said: "In the end, we still have to eat two meals from you, how embarrassing!"

"I guess you are too. You haven’t had breakfast? Then eat quickly, you don’t have to wait for us!”

Zhou Only then did he pick up one and took a bite: "Well, it's hard to find wild onions in Jiachuan. This pig cake stuffed with wild onions is so fragrant!"

Jiang Qiao held two The bowl came over: "There is still a little bit of shredded soup. You two can each have a bowl. It's just right for the pig cake!"

The two of them ate a plate of pig cake and were satisfied. After eating, they had nothing to do. Jiang Shuyi took out a notebook of formulas and new words from her schoolbag: "Let's go to the woods to memorize formulas and new words."

Zhou Zhi took the small book and couldn't help but admire: "Girls are very attentive. Lao Mu and I both left the note in two tea tubes. Grab a handful every day, put it in another tube after carrying it, and then switch it over to continue.”

Jiang Shuyi’s notebook is half a palm in size, with the front and back corresponding to each other. There are two horizontal lines drawn on the page, which are divided into three spaces at the top, middle and bottom. Write half of the formula in each space, corresponding to the other half of the page.

Moreover, the generalization formulas summarized by Jiang Shuyi are much more numerous and detailed than those of Zhou Zhi and Lao Mu. Many of them are key steps and descriptions of key nodes in solving problems, and they are meticulously recorded.

The two of them came to the small woods beside the stone staircase. Zhou Zhi did not need to memorize the words, so he took a test on Jiang Shuyi. Jiang Shuyi summarized many formulas that Zhou Zhi was not familiar with, so Zhou Zhi also asked Jiang Shuyi to take a test on him. .

The two of them just tested each other, and time passed before they knew it. The fourth child came over and said, "The third sister asked you when you will go back."

"What time is it?"

"It's past three o'clock."

"Oh, I have to go, I haven't checked out the house yet this week. Shouldn't we take the four o'clock car back home?"

"Well, I’ll go back and collect my things.”

"Then let's set off on time at 3:40."

It didn't take long for everyone to get ready. The eldest lady, the fourth child, the third sister, Zhou Zhi, and Jiang Shuyi's family of three, all seven of them came together to face the Tianhua Company Walk to the factory gate.

There are still seats in the car, and Du Yufen also bought a bag of sugar cane from the sugar cane stall in front of the factory: "You guys can take it with you to eat on the road, be considerate and help us study comfortably."

"We must help each other, don't worry, auntie, I will take Shuyi to the school gate in a while."

"Hey, see you then, come to Rongshan to play often!"

"Okay! Uncle, aunt, eldest sister, fourth child, let's go!"

The bus arrived at Jiachuan an hour later. The third sister got off at the Hongshui River Bridge first, which is the closest place to go home.

Zhou Zhi continued to sit in the school playground, sent Jiang Shuyi to the school gate, and told Jiang Shuyi that if Boss Xu asked, he would study at home on weekend nights.

When I got home, my mother was cooking for a rare occasion, and my father was sitting at Zhou Zhi's desk. There was an iron plate in front of him with a piece of wax paper sandwiched on it, and he was carving test papers with a stylus.
