"Talk about Cultivation" is Zhu Guangqian's summary of his life experience and wisdom, and it is also his cordial talk with young people as a person who has lived through it. This book analyzes and answers the common life confusions faced by young people. The book consists of more than 20 articles, and the topics are closely related to young people, such as aspirations, psychology, ethics, knowledge, reading, making friends, sex, love and marriage, etc. This is a work written more than half a century ago, but the author's thoughts and values remain timeless and are still of great benefit to today's readers. Everyone who encounters confusion in life, study or work can read this book. I believe that you can find ideas and methods to solve problems in the book.
Reader comments
The chapter on individualism can be regarded as predicting the cause of today's moral chaos 80 years later. The moral standard of Western society, with religion as a link, has constructed the social form and moral foundation of the West.
The East is individual-oriented, using Confucianism to emphasize personal cultivation and build harmony and stability for the entire society. However, due to the needs of social development, the individual standard will shift to the social standard, and the individual-centered social structure constructed by Confucianism will collapse. Western society is a social form built with religion as its core. Well, 80 years later, we have now shifted from individual-oriented to social-oriented. What is the core of this social standard? Yes or no? If so, what is it? Why did you help me if you didn't hit me? After getting engaged, I sued for rape because I didn't add my name to the house book right away. How did this chaos come about? Do all these chaos indicate that the individual standard of Confucianism has collapsed and the social standard is rootless? Where will such a society go?
This book is like a friendly big friend chatting with us and telling a lot of life principles. Mr. Zhu Guangqian's writing style is simple and easy to understand, and the examples are very close to life, which I find very interesting. In the book, he told us how to make aspirations, study, and make friends. He also talked about some psychological and ethical knowledge, which was very helpful to me. I think this book is not only suitable for young people, but also for everyone who encounters confusion in life.
Teacher Zhu writes very well!
