Works Appreciation
"Let" book ", it is better to not" book "." "
This is a reading method for brilliance, requiring readers to be good at Independent thinking.
Once ancient times, people have not known how much proliferation is. Indeed, the book is a patented grace in our humans, and the sacred object of many people is still their worship. However, if we complete the letter, the only book is from the light, make individuals become nerd, and the strict has formed so-called "book", "teaching bargain" and "唯书", misunderstood, endless.
Today, we emphasize that "practice is the only standard for inspection truth", "said" Let's do a letter, it is better to say ", it seems to be shallow and easy to understand. But in the era of Mencius, this is afraid or a vacant foot. In fact, it is still not necessary to push so far, only need to think about those "唯书", "only", and Mencius can be referenced.
finally said: "Not only books, not only on the top."
, we can also say "the letter, it is worse than no book".
It is particularly worth noting that Mencius talks about "do not as good as there is no book", the example is the content of "Wu Cheng" in "Shang Shu", and we know, " Shang Shu "as one of the Confucian classics, in the age, Meng's era is also extremely authoritative. As a result, Mencius thinks of authoritative works and maintains independent thinking, and is be brave enough to doubt, especially if they are valuable, reflecting the treatment of the sage. Even for us for more than two thousand years, it is also worth learning.
More than the publishing industry today has greatly developed. The publisher of the sunrise is not in a small number, the book sweat charging, its negative effect is "no mistakes", which has become a social problem that is increasingly attracted. In such a case, the spirit of "the letter is not as good as the book" is especially necessary. Otherwise, it is a big problem.
