For that little share, Youqian let Jackson live in his home, and asked Ji Xu to explain "Advice for Government" to him.
Jackson happily disposed of the jewelry stock in his hand, retired from the office in the "Qing Tea House", and moved to Zhen's house before Xiaonian, and moved into the embroidery building where Qing Wan used to live.
Ji Xu gave lectures to students during the day, and only had time to translate the "Advice for the Government" with Jackson at night, and corrected Jackson's misunderstandings.
[1] Fan Chengda's Poetry of "Sacrificial Stove Ci-Shangque"
? On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month in Gu Fu,
Zao Jun wants to talk to the sky.
? Cloud Car Wind Horse Xiaoliulian,
The family has cups and plates and abundant rituals.
?Rotten pig's head hot double fish fresh,
Bean paste and sweet pine powder bait balls.
On the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, Ji Xu dismissed the students from school early.
As soon as Mu Yu and Youcai rushed into the house, they got into the kitchen and searched for "tanggua" with their sister to eat. Jackson was also in the kitchen. He was watching Qingwan and Caiyan prepare the offerings for the stove tonight. When he saw Mu Yu and Youcai running in, he asked, "Has the master returned?"
Mu Yu said: "I'm back, I'm in the south room."
Jackson hurriedly went to the south room, saw Ji Xu lying on the bed, he pulled him up by force, and went to the embroidery building where he lived. He took out the article he had just translated this morning, and told Ji Xu word for word.
Ji Xu felt that some theoretical interpretations were quite different from the original meaning, so he said: "Jackson, after listening to your interpretation, it is like that doctor from the Western Regions who borrowed Western medicine to apply the theory of Chinese medicine, and the result was neither a cow nor a horse, nor a donkey nor a deer. , I thought it was a miracle doctor!"
Jackson asked: "Why, did I translate wrong again?"
Ji Xu said: "It's not wrong, but I always feel that some of our theories seem to have changed in your mouth."
"What has it become?" Jackson looked confused.
Ji Xu said: "Actually, a good book is a doctor, but traditional Chinese medicine often treats both symptoms and root causes. But this book of yours, I am afraid that after reading it, they will go astray and go astray."
"Then what should I do?"
"Actually, our Chinese medicine is not abiding by the stereotypes, it is constantly developing, and it is this kind of keeping pace with the times that can 'the Dao of the world, the ten thousand sects return to one'." Ji Xu said, "You It is simple to change the medicine and surgery in the west, but it will go astray for the balance of the human body and the relationship between man and nature. Regarding the problem, we cannot use the method of treating the head when the head hurts, and treating the foot when the foot hurts. It¡¯s not a cure for the symptoms.¡±
[2] Confucianism in "The Book of Changes"
Tian Xingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement; (Qian Gua)
The terrain is Kun, and a gentleman carries things with virtue. (Kun Gua)
Jackson asked: "Where is the key to my problem?"
"It's that you can't just copy it." Ji Xu continued, "Change is the Chinese way of doing things. 'If you are poor, you will change; if you change, you will become better; if you are better, you will be better." "Book of Changes" [1]."
"The Book of Changes?"
"So, if you want to translate Chinese works, you must first understand the "Book of Changes."
"What book is he?"
"The Book of Changes is a philosophical classic. It tells people that the world is changing, what laws govern the changes, and how to face uncertain changes. Harmful, very practical, full of insight into the wisdom of the world.
General books are all "text to convey the Tao", but "Book of Changes" uses "words, images, and meanings" to convey the Tao. The Tao is vast and all-encompassing; no guilt. The way of heaven, the way of authenticity and the way of humanity revealed by it are full of the principle of 'harmony' everywhere. It has far-reaching influence on hundreds of schools of thought such as Confucianism, Taoism, Shujia, Zen, Yin and Yang, and Mohism. Therefore, "Book of Changes" is the "family of a hundred schools of thought" and "the source of all classics". "
Jackson became excited again, "Since this book is so useful, let me translate "Book of Changes"!"
"The point is, you can't translate it yet!" Ji Xu said, "I want you to read it first, so that you can understand the truth in "Advice for Government"."
"Then, sir, find a copy and let me read it."
"Okay, tomorrow I will go to the social sciences to find a copy for you. However, you still can't understand it. I will explain it to you in general. When you have free time, you can read it."
"Okay, I will listen to Mr.!"
Ji Xu said: "Where is the 'broadness' and 'deepness' of Chinese culture? I think it lies in the philosophical thought of "Book of Changes"?? Taking "Primary School" as a ladder, there is no point in reading "Primary School", and it cannot be said that "Jinsilu" is also. Therefore, if you want to enter the hall of the Five Classics, you must climb the ladder of the "Four Books". "Primary School" goes up the ladder. "
Generally speaking, the ancients studied Confucian books and cultivated their xinxing, starting with the "Book of Filial Piety" and "Primary School", then the Four Books, "Jinsilu", etc., and finally the Five Classics. Disrupting this order will have a negative impact on children's learning.
For example, in Qing Dynasty's anonymous "Biantong Primary School Regulations", it was pointed out that some modern teachers taught "Xue" and "Yong" when they were enlightened. moral self-cultivation. "The ancients entered primary school at the age of eight, and entered university at the age of fifteen. Today, they are seven or eight-year-old children, and they are trained to learn from adults. They can reach the sky at every step, and they should laugh when they ask themselves." , specializes in elementary school work, specializes in training various books in elementary schools, and tells the stories of enlightenment diaries, focusing on preconceived ideas and the foundation of enlightenment and nourishment. Three years of training". For the indoctrination of Confucian principles, we must focus on children's physical and mental characteristics, measure resources in order, and do not wait.
In short, traditional elementary school focuses on starting from "things in front of you", following the rules from near to far, from shallow to deep, and supervises children to learn and practice Confucian ethics. Use easy-to-understand language and methods, and cultivate children's sentiments through the words and deeds of celebrities, role models, etc. Then study the Confucian classics, sublimate the previous perceptual materials into rational understanding, and then have a systematic and transcendent grasp of the Confucian inner sage, so as to guide students to pursue the ultimate state of personality.
