He Weiping

China's traditional culture is extensive and profound, with a history of 5,000 years. Where to start? Today I will talk about four questions.

First, what is culture?

Second, what is China culture?

Thirdly, the advantages and disadvantages of China culture.

Fourth, how to inherit and carry forward the traditional culture of China today?

Fourth, how to inherit the cultural heritage of our ancestors today?

First of all, we must understand the current national conditions. Today's China is like a huge fast-moving train, but the production of this kind of train is very rough and the materials are mixed, so we have to lose parts, change parts and maintain them while speeding. Three characteristics,

1, concentration. If the May 4th Movement started at 19 19, the development of China would be less than 100. If it started with the national liberation of 1949, it would have developed in less than 60 years; If we start from 1979 reform and opening up, the real development will be less than 30 years; Our century is compared with 230 years in the United States and 450 years in Europe. Today, it takes 30 years to solve the problems that others have encountered in 450 years. Socialism with Chinese characteristics is not wrong. Is the best choice we can make today. Our greatest achievement is that we can reach the level of Europe and America today in 450 or 230 years. It will take us 50-80 years. Compared with Europe, we won for more than 300 years, nearly 400 years. Compared with the United States, we also won 100 years. Compared with the Nordic countries, we will envy their high income, high welfare, high employment rate and low crime rate. The question is where their high welfare comes from. That's based on the high taxes of enterprises. The tax revenue of their enterprises is as high as 50%-60%. Can our enterprise bear such a high tax? Of course not. For hundreds of years, their high taxes have been slowly increasing. So, there is still a question of time. And the most social form that our generation has seen. This is a kind of pain. Many difficulties and problems have been concentrated in front of us, and we will see many people being eliminated because they cannot keep up with the times. This elimination ratio will be high. On the other hand, this is also a kind of luck. Never has an era had so many opportunities at the same time. You can almost succeed as long as you work hard.

2. Soon. Speed itself will cause many problems.

The development of human society is accelerating. According to scientists, the earth has existed for 4.6 billion years. But the appearance of human beings was between about 30 million years ago and 6.5438+million years ago. In this long time from 30 million years to 6.5438+million years, what human beings have done is to stand up slowly and learn to walk upright. At that time, people could not call people, but only "apes". The real person we believe should have two characteristics, one is "walking upright" and the other is "making tools". This real appearance was 6.5438+0 million years ago. The first tool they made was a "stone axe". Sharpen a stone, which can be used to cut meat or beat wild animals.

Walking upright is about 30 million years ago to 6.5438+million years ago.

Tools were made 3 million to 6.5438+0 million years ago.

Learning to use fire was about 500,000 years ago.

Sewing clothes with bone needles is about 654.38 million years ago.

Iron was made about 6000 years ago.

The four great inventions were about 600 to 700 years ago.

The first phone was 125 years ago.

The first computer was 58 years ago, 1945.

The Internet was invented and popularized ten years ago. It turns out that only professors from Stanford University and Princeton University exchanged some academic information. Entered the business world in the 1990s.

The reality of the accelerated development of human society and the backward state of our country hundreds of years ago make us have to catch up. Because of this rapid development, we have to pay an extra price.

Some schools collapsed a few years ago. Later, the school did not collapse; Bridges often collapse. Later, the bridge did not collapse; There are always coal mines collapsing again.

Another example is cadre corruption.

Sima Qian of the Han Dynasty said: "The world is bustling for profit; The world is bustling, all for profit. " It is human nature to pursue profit.

Qianlong asked Ji Xiaolan, "There are hundreds of boats on the river, and they don't rest. How many do you think? " Ji Xiaolan said, "In my opinion, there are only two. One is fame and the other is profit. "

The reason why many cadres are corrupt today is that many cadres have never seen so much money. No immunity to the temptation of money. Compared with the older generation of revolutionaries, abandoning family property and joining the revolution really treats money like dirt. Will they be corrupt? Of course not. Napoleon said, "the first generation, get rich; The second generation, development; The third generation, stepping into politics. If you go into politics after owning property, you won't be so easily confused by money. And we, because of a property fault. So most of them are the first generation to enter politics. These constant collapses and corruptions are the roughest parts of the whole train, which can't adapt to the rapid movement of the train and fall. This is the price we must overcome. But we can't stop and fix it. We have to pick up the dropped parts, polish them and put them on while driving. All components must be replaced when they are opened until they are replaced by trains with good materials and stable operation. The way we sit must be very uncomfortable. But we have to be happy. Because we delayed too much time before.

Sometimes I say, although for many people, retirement is still far away. But today, how many cadres can't retire safely! According to the newspaper, more than 1000 cadres made mistakes due to economic problems last year.

3. imbalance. Developed and underdeveloped, East and West, high quality and low quality, etc. Poverty in the west is unimaginable to us orientals.

So what should we do? How to inherit and carry forward?

(1) Make full use of the theories of our ancestors to develop today's economy. We should adjust our view of justice and benefit. It is necessary to re-understand the Confucian viewpoints of "a gentleman is more righteous than a villain" and "forgetting righteousness at the expense of profit". Confucianism developed in the Southern Song Dynasty. Confucian scholars, led by Lv Zuqian and Ye Shi, put forward the idea of "paying equal attention to justice and benefit", which greatly developed the southern economy. The four little dragons in Asia have achieved rapid social development by virtue of the principle of "paying equal attention to justice and benefit" of Confucianism in Southern Confucius. So the theory of our ancestors has been fully verified. This is our secret recipe. We must use it better than others. As long as we understand the essence of the theory, others are definitely not our opponents. Because this theory has been bred and grown in our land for thousands of years and has penetrated into our blood.

(2) Carry forward the excellent part of our national traditional morality and absorb the essence of western morality. It is not enough to be a good person today. We should learn to be a capable person on the basis of good people. After we become capable people. Just like Bill. Gates. We should construct the national moral standards of the new era according to the requirements of the present era.

What puzzles us now is that we seem to think that the moral standards of our ancestors are out of date. But we don't know what standards are correct, timely and effective today. So our morality has lost its sight. We don't know what is right and what is wrong. This has caused many problems and troubles. We want to tell you very clearly today. The original five virtues of our ancestors: loyalty, courtesy, courage, faithfulness and frugality.

The original five virtues are still very effective and should be strengthened today.

But at the same time, we should develop on this basis and add new qualities that modern people should have:

Self-confidence, self-discipline, dedication, cooperation and tolerance

The original five virtues and the newly added five virtues constitute modern moral standards.

Loyalty is a person who is good to you. You can't be unkind to him. Who is best for you? Country, mother. Qin is a descendant and went to Hangzhou to be an official. When he saw the statue of Qin Gui, he was very uncomfortable and quietly threw it into the West Lake. As a result, the water in the West Lake suddenly stinks. People are talking about it. Qin was so frightened that he had to move the iron statue back to Yue Fei's tomb, and made a pair of couplets with regret: Since the Song Dynasty, I went to the grave to be ashamed of Qin Wei. We are talking about ancestor worship and wife and children. It refers to letting ancestors and family members enjoy prosperity because of their outstanding contributions. However, as prime minister, Qin Gui has humiliated his descendants from generation to generation. This is a typical example of disloyalty. This is a moral trial as well as a cultural trial. The most unforgivable thing for the Chinese nation is traitors.

Self-confidence-We talked too much about modesty in the past. Modesty is important. But in modern society, we must also learn to be confident in the face of competition. The story of ingrid Bowman. Ingrid Bowman, one of the most famous superstars in Hollywood, worked as a salesman in a hat shop before her debut. Once I learned that the Royal Academy of Drama enrolled students, I also rushed to register. The exam is an impromptu performance on the stage. Ingrid Bowman has carefully designed a sketch. Play a happy peasant girl and tease a peasant boy. On the day of the exam, ingrid Bowman came out. She ran two steps, jumped into the air, walked to the center of the stage, smiled happily, and then said her first line. Then, she remembered that she should see the judges' reaction, so she looked at the judges' box. To her surprise, she found that the judges were whispering and commenting loudly instead of watching her performance. For a moment, the chairman of the jury waved and said, "Stop it. Thank you-Miss, next. " Ingrid Bowman never imagined that the judges filmed the program she had worked so hard to design without looking at it. Ingrid Bowman was desperate. She decided to commit suicide. She came to the river and looked at it. The river is dark and dirty. She thought that when she died and was dragged out of the water, she would be covered with dirty things and had to swallow dirty water. "Well, that won't do." She gave up the idea of suicide.

The next day, she received the admission notice.

Many years later, ingrid Bowman has become very famous. She met the judge again and asked him, "Please tell me why you treated me so badly in the first exam?" Just because you don't like me that much, I have committed suicide. "

The judge stared at her. "Don't like you? Dear girl, you are crazy! The moment you jumped into the center of the stage and laughed at us. We turned to each other and said,' Well, she has been chosen. Look how confident she is. Look at her typhoon! We don't need to waste another second. There are more than a dozen people to take the exam! Call the next one "

This example tells us that most people lack self-confidence until they are recognized by the society. Even a potential superstar like ingrid Bowman. Then, for ordinary people like us, it is very important to cultivate self-confidence.

Dedication-devote yourself to doing one thing. In ancient times, it was not efficient to work at sunrise and rest at sunset, so dedication was not very important. But in industrial society, it is a very important quality in modern society. "Workers are beautiful", but only if they love this job. Without love, work becomes a coolie. How to be dedicated? There are many photo studios on the campus of Hangzhou University, which provide various photography services for students. But only one of them has a very good business, and there are always students waiting in line at its gate. There are many photo studios nearby that are free, but students are unwilling to go. The reason is that the hostess of this photo studio was originally an employee of a state-owned photo studio, and her work was particularly serious and responsible. When she takes a photo, she must take the one she is satisfied with. Once I met an ugly student, and I was very satisfied after filming for a long time. The students smiled happily when they came to pick up the photos. She found this smile more beautiful than the photo and immediately said, "Wait, let me take a photo of you smiling. I think your smile just now is more beautiful than the photo. " Imagine, what is the purpose of taking pictures? I want to leave good memories. So, if you meet a photographer who tries so hard to take good pictures of you, do you have any other choice? The photographer's whole behavior can be summed up in two words, that is "dedication". The story of Zheng Jianzhong. Dedication is a magic weapon to stand out from the competition in the industry, and it is actually the secret of many people's career success today.

Self-discipline-There are too many temptations and life traps in today's society. If you can't be self-disciplined and manage yourself well, it's hard to achieve anything. Cherish clothes from childhood, cherish reputation from childhood.

Cooperation-this is a quality that we need to cultivate too much today. In traditional culture, "people sweep the snow in front of their own houses and leave others with frost." "Chickens and dogs hear each other, and old people don't talk to each other." This is the characteristic of farming society. Today, everyone can't live without others and can't succeed alone on their own. It is impossible to succeed without learning to cooperate.

Tolerance-the characteristics of modern society are rich and varied, and tolerance has become an essential feature of modern people. Absorb all kinds of information, listen to all kinds of opinions, and deal with people with different personalities. Without an open and inclusive mind, life and career can't be successful.

(3) Let yourself establish a good interpersonal relationship with modern characteristics.

Dale Carnegie once said that a person's professional knowledge only accounts for 65,438+05% of his success, and the other 85% is interpersonal relationship.

Today is a comprehensive era, a pluralistic era, so it is also an era of cooperation. Today, it is difficult for anyone to succeed by his own efforts.

How to establish a good interpersonal relationship? First of all, we should understand people's general psychology. 1943 American psychologist Maslow put forward the famous "hierarchy of needs theory". Reveals the different needs of people in different situations.

(1), learn to discover and appreciate the advantages of others, and give sincere and appropriate praise.

As long as you are willing to look for it, everyone around you will have their own advantages. You can tell him the advantages you see. Be appropriate. Excessive exaggeration can make people feel false and flattering.

(2) Being sincerely interested in others can win friends for you.

(3) Admit your mistakes bravely. Pushing and defending will only make people look down. If there is any problem at work, check yourself first and take your share of the responsibility first. You take on other people's problems and responsibilities first, and others will not cooperate with you next time.

(4) Don't complain. Learn to live quietly.

Complaining won't solve anything. There are two kinds of complaints, one is not work but complaints. This is a negative resistance. It will not help to solve the problem and improve the predicament, but will destroy the harmonious atmosphere and enterprising spirit of the team, leading to a decline in morale. So the leader was particularly angry. The other is to complain while doing it. This often happens to those who are quite capable. His complaint is not that he doesn't want to do it, but that his work hasn't received the attention and praise it deserves. He hopes to let people know the important value of what he has done and the extra efforts he has made by complaining. This kind of complaint often causes dissatisfaction among leaders and colleagues because it is also passive resistance, and often highlights itself, exaggerates itself and belittles others. People describe this kind of person and say, "The pain at your feet is offset by the pain in your mouth." Communicate, not complain.

What if you work hard and the leader can't see it? Find an opportunity to communicate quietly with the leader.

(5) Don't criticize and blame others easily. If you must criticize, start in a friendly way.

No one in life wants to be criticized. However, in order to work smoothly, it is sometimes necessary to point out the problems existing in work and individuals in order to correct mistakes. At this time, please pay attention to three points: first, try to criticize individually, not in front of many people; Second, in a friendly way. Tell him what the problem is and what the consequences will be from the perspective of thinking for him. Third, before criticizing, affirm the good points in his works.

(6) Learning to respect others is the most basic relationship between people. Let others protect their self-esteem and save face.

Everyone may make some mistakes at some point. Sometimes I feel it as soon as I show it, but sometimes I have to wait a long time or be reminded to understand it. I will feel embarrassed and regret it when I understand it. At this time, as a friend and colleague, you can't gloat or even add fuel to the fire. On the contrary, we should put ourselves in others' shoes, help others and help others. Remember, let others save face and self-esteem.

Don't speak ill of others behind their backs. All the bad things you say will eventually reach my ears. You have an enemy who will never forgive you.

(4) Learn from the advanced western culture to solve the problems we encounter today. Capitalism has a history of more than 400 years. It has encountered all the problems encountered by the market economy and accumulated very rich development experience. All this can be used by us today.

Two important theories in psychology:

Hawthorne experiment, 1924. Mayo, a professor at Harvard University in the United States, has done lighting experiments in Hawthorne factory of Chicago West Electric Company. People are social people. People can't live alone without society; People need to be affirmed by society. For individuals; For the family; For society; Three levels. Why should we evaluate three excellent students, advanced workers and 100 key universities? It is based on this principle.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory. Reveals the essence of human nature. Make great contributions to social development. 1, survival needs; 2. Safety requirements; 3. Social needs; 4. The need for love and respect; 5. The need to realize self-worth. There are thousands of employees in today's multinational companies. How to make all employees do their duty when the boss is not present? It is to set up methods to arouse the enthusiasm of different people according to the needs of people at different levels.

(5) be innovative. Change the concept of "shooting the first bird with a gun" and "not daring to be the first in the world" since ancient times.

Talk about creativity. Someone peddled a copper coin in the street, asking for 280 thousand yuan. When a curious reporter asked, he knew that this man was an artist. But for copper, which is only worth $9, this is a sky-high price. He was invited to the TV station and told his truth: a copper coin is worth 9 yuan; If the door handle is made, the value will increase by $265,438+0; If it is made into a work of art, the value will increase to $300; If made into a monument, it should be worth $280,000. His creativity touched a financier on Wall Street, and as a result, copper coins were finally made into a beautiful bust. The difference between $9 and $300,000 is creativity, or the price of creativity.

Today, in many cases, innovation is not to create a completely new thing. It is to combine existing things, ideas, forms and new ideas to produce new results and effects.

The pencil with eraser that we widely use today is an example of innovative thinking. At the beginning of the twentieth century, pencils and erasers were invented and became popular. A careless painter is always revising his paintings, and every time he grabs an eraser. In order to reduce the trouble of constant search, the painter occasionally ties the rubber to the pencil with a rope. I didn't want this move to be discovered by a concerned businessman, who immediately discovered the infinite business opportunities. The businessman concerned immediately put the new pencil into mass production. We can't calculate how much profit this invention has brought to the enterprise. It can only be said that every student has used a pencil with an eraser.

Cultivate your good modern character. Wealth can make you happy, but not necessarily, it may also make your family ruined and miserable; But virtue can make you safe and happy and make you successful in life and career.

Summary: Life is to attend a free Manchu-Chinese banquet and see how you plan to eat as many good dishes as possible. Don't wolf down the cold dishes just served. When the really delicious food comes, you can only watch others eat it. When I don't know how many dishes there are. Try everything. Until you really understand what you like to eat, what is really delicious and how to eat, then you can control how much you eat. Puppy love and online game addiction are like this. A successful person is the one who is still smiling at the dinner table at the age of 80.

If you try your best, you still don't succeed (generally impossible), and it will still happen. Then you can go back and make a review and summary of yourself. Find out why. We have a saying, if you still can't succeed despite your best efforts, then this is your destiny. What is fate? Fate is when, where, family and education you were born, which determines how you will live your life. How is your IQ? How is your understanding? What is your mind and vision? Did your father tell you to be far-sighted, broad-minded and ambitious before you were ten years old? If not, don't be sad. But please remember to tell these words to your children. Tell him at a very young age. You didn't do it in one generation. The development of a family needs the efforts of several generations. We are all just one link in every long chain. Give yourself a peaceful mind. Then, lay some foundations for the children. As long as you understand this truth and master the essence of China culture, you can still have a happy life even if you can't have a successful life. Outstanding has outstanding happiness, ordinary has ordinary happiness.

China culture is on the eve of great rejuvenation, and we can even feel its drifting away. After thousands of years of savings, this outbreak is another round of destruction. But this time, it is not only a theoretical achievement, but a cultural industry with China culture as its core, which will cover the world with the birthmark of China culture. Whoever can realize this earlier will get the earliest, largest and most weighty bucket of gold first.

China culture will be invincible in the end. Because it is more essential, purer and longer-term, it must have stronger vitality.

The Nobel Prize winner once said, "If human beings want to survive in the 2 1 century, they must go back more than 2,000 years and draw wisdom from Confucius' thoughts. "

He's right.
