Twelve Letters to Young People

Zhu Zi once said in a poem: "Half an acre of square pond is open, and the skylight and cloud shadows are wandering together. I ask where the canal can be so clear? It has a source of living water." This is a beautiful state. Just close your eyes and think for a moment, imprint this picture in your mind, and then imagine that this half-acre square pond is your own heart. See how comfortable this poem is in comparing the joys and sorrows of life! The average person's life is dry just because there is no skylight, cloud shadow, or source of running water in their "half-acre square pond". This source of running water is the fun to experience.

Many of the criticisms raised by Mr. Wang still exist in different forms and to varying degrees in contemporary times, affecting the healthy growth of young people and the harmonious development of society.

When reading a letter, it is very much like talking to a friend from afar. He knows that I am trapped and confused, and he helps me clear my mind. There are some remarks in it that are still a warning to the world in today's society. So far, I have only read it through once and made some excerpts. This is no longer enough. You can still read it again when you feel stuck or find another opportunity. If it has enlightenment and benefit to me, it can be a good book, and a good book is worth recalling!

Great! You can feel the master's passion for serving his country and his family. This is the right way [Like]

Speaking of the author's own advice to young people, it must be useful. After all, the elders have more knowledge and experience than us, but boring is really boring.

Life cannot have youth and the feeling of youth at the same time. When you understand this book, it proves that the bird of your youth has quietly flown away. "Reading" Reading is an important way to nourish the mind. "Too busy to read" is an excuse; Don't be greedy for more, develop the habit of reading, choose valuable books, broaden your horizons through reading, and escape from the trivial worldly matters. "Motion" The common boredom in life is sitting around and daydreaming, and it is emotional internal friction. "Movement" means working, exercising, and doing specific things; Movement is a good medicine to relieve worries. Movement allows the body and mind to relax, and movement allows worries to dissipate naturally. "Quiet" The cultivation of tranquility is to maintain inner calmness in the hustle and bustle, to discover interest in ordinary things, and to make people perceive life more keenly. "Admission to Higher Education" It is not advisable to choose courses based on utilitarianism. Choosing a career based on interest will last longer. Interest is the driving force for continuous hard work. Rather than reluctantly chasing the popular, it is better to delve into the field you love. "Escape" Life is often trapped by obsessions such as fame, fortune, regrets, etc., And it is necessary to stop losses in time; Let go decisively when it's time to let go, so that you can move forward lightly and focus on what is truly important. "Multiverse" Life has multiple value dimensions, and dimensions such as science, art, love, and morality have their own independent evaluation standards. There is no need to measure everything by a single standard, respect the meaning of different values. "Morality" is the dimension that is easiest for people to perceive, and the concept of good and evil is deeply rooted in people's hearts; But "science" is only true and false, and experimental data has no concept of good or evil. "Anxiety and Confusion" The root cause of anxiety and confusion lies in the disconnect between ideals and reality. You need to be down-to-earth and start with specific small things; Gradually clarify the direction in action instead of empty talk about ideals. [Toward the path of maximum resistance] If we want to measure how human a person is, the best criterion is his resistance to resistance. The path of least resistance is often a temptation that best appeals to human inertia. To overcome inertia, we must mobilize strong willpower. [Three core questions] 1. How to balance the gap between ideal and reality? : It is necessary to recognize the conditions and limitations of reality, and in the process of striving to realize the ideal, adjust goals and methods according to the actual situation, and cannot talk about ideals without being divorced from reality. When entering higher education, there may be many cities and majors that you are interested in, but you cannot choose them due to scores and material conditions; When you graduate, you may want to take the public education examination or join a well-known company, but in reality you may not have enough ability and experience; You should make choices based on the current situation and adjust new directions during the hard work process. 2. How to deal with the relationship between learning and entertainment? : Combination of work and rest. Studying and entertainment are both important, and time must be allocated reasonably. There can be entertainment activities such as playing games and watching movies on weekends, but you also need to complete homework and review homework. Entertainment can relax the body and mind so that you can better devote yourself to learning, but you should not over-entertain and neglect learning. 3. How to stick to yourself amidst external temptations? : From thinking about whether to play with mobile phones to making important decisions in life, we need to think calmly amid various temptations. The core is to clarify your own values ​​and goals, and think about: How do we want to live this life? Only by having a guiding ideology can you not follow the crowd, keep a clear mind, and use reason to judge and make choices.

Some of the views may not be correct now, but overall they are pretty good, especially when it comes to course selection.

Learning comes from dreaming, which is also the way to establish morality and character.

It's very good. After reading it, I feel that my body and mind are stuffed, stuffed, and warm. I have adapted from an unshaped embryo to the appearance in the book.

A must-read for young people, it is of great benefit to writing

It can trigger thinking, has inspiring warnings, and is easy to understand. It is suitable for young people.

As a coming-of-age ceremony for me when I turn 18

Believe me, every word he says will hit your heart

I have roughly read twelve letters and would like to share my views. The gentleman is very insightful and wise, and I have benefited a lot from the suggestions in it. However, I have not made much improvement. Maybe I don't understand it deeply. I will take a closer look and comment in the future...

After reading this book by Mr. Zhu Guangqian, I feel that I have gained a lot of important truths. The most insightful thing is that he talked about love, filial piety, philosophy and social issues, which gave me a lot of feelings. The words are amazing. I recommend middle school students and even high school students to read this book! I'm so lucky that I opened his book

Talking about many issues about young people, as well as the current social situation, etc., We encourage our contemporary youth to do good deeds, obey the law, set great goals, and add strength to building a technologically powerful country. Knowledge can be learned from it. The language is easy to understand, concise and clear, and has a clear structure. Use argumentative essays more often. This book is the best choice for contemporary teenagers. Be sure to read more.

A great inspiration to young people

What he said at that time is timeless and fresh now. It is of extraordinary significance to today's young people as a person.

The book has its own beauty like jade, and the book has its own golden house. After reading it now, I still remember the things written in the book about determination, freedom, and the "three doctrines". Talking about determination made me know that true determination requires not only accepting the current facts, but also seizing the current opportunities; talking about getting rid of it made me remember that "cannot get rid of" is the origin of life's tragedy; "Three-this Doctrine" made me understand the importance of this body, this time, and this place. Reading is not about finding yourself in books.

This book answered several of my confusions. Times are different, but it turns out that the psychological worries of young people are the same. After reading it, some of my doubts were answered.

Mr. Zhu shared his insights with young people without any pretense, and guided readers to take a brighter and broader path with the most sincere attitude. He gained a lot and was very grateful to himself for being able to calm down and listen to the experiences of his predecessors in this impetuous society. The hardship of life is often accompanied by feelings of irritability and complaint, but we should learn to adjust our mentality and live our life more down-to-earth, and never follow the crowd and forget our original intention.

Thank you my friend

Well written and worth reading

Very good friends, very good books

A real book always has thousands of faces.

I have benefited a lot from reading this book and it is worth reading for young people. The book gives a lot of good advice, which covers everything from our lives to our souls. Even books written in the last century are still worthy of study and reference by us now.

Comprehensive understanding, delicate writing, easy to understand

This book is rich in content and I believe it can help more readers.

Mr. Zhu has learned both Chinese and Western knowledge, integrating ancient and modern times ✨ His books are meaningful, reasonable and measured And it's realistic, interesting, profound, and timeless!

Zhu Guangqian's articles explain things in simple terms and explain thoroughly, and he is good at explaining abstract concepts with rich examples. His positive and upbeat attitude towards life has given him high hopes for contemporary young people. Even in the 1920s, many of his concepts and ideas are still outdated.
