Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 79 Thinking

Man is a social animal, and "benevolence" refers to "two people", one of which is "self" and the other is all "others" other than "self".

So this is not only a question of what philosophy an individual uses to look at society, but also a question of what philosophy a society uses to manage individuals.

The so-called "way of getting along".

Confucianism believes that these two concepts are dialectically unified, and the correct concept of how individuals view society and how society manages individuals is called "benevolence."

Therefore, "benevolence" is actually defined by Confucianism. How to be an individual in a group can make the group more harmonious and prosperous.

At the same time, Confucianism gave the "two people" a definition of goodness, that is, the definition of "individual goodness" and "society goodness".

Of course, since it is a group, there is a range of cognition and marginal effects. You can only do things within your own ability. Therefore, there are several steps and levels of filial piety, trustworthiness, and cultivation of Qi Zhiping. This is a digression.

As for what the Confucianists said, whether they have achieved it themselves, that is also a digression.

What's more, because they haven't completed it, they will deny everything they have proposed and practiced, even if the theory itself is not much wrong... This is even more off topic.

Zhou Zhi personally believes that there is actually nothing wrong with this set of ideas, but that something went wrong in practice.

But that was also caused by forgetting to adjust with the changes and progress of the times, or in the wrong direction of adjustment, after it took effect for thousands of years. on the surface."

Zhou Zhi firmly believes that even the most vehement opponents of Confucianism hope to live in a "gentle, courteous, thrifty" social atmosphere, and hope to gain "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust" from the society and others. treat.

This is the understanding of the "two people" who have forgotten the word "benevolence". When there is a lot of demand for the "other heart" of others and society, they first lose or abandon the "self heart" on the other end.

This cannot but be said to be a kind of irony.

After understanding and mastering these, and then returning to the text, how can we find the "goodness of one's own heart" and "goodness of other hearts" hidden in extensive social practice and social relations?

How can the "goodness of two hearts" summed up be fed back to social practice and social relations most extensively?

How can this concept be widely recognized and supported by all social strata, groups, and individuals?
How can they be harmoniously unified as a social whole?

This requires extensive reading and extensive study to enrich your knowledge reserves;
We must stick to our ambitions and not give up lightly because of external interference and temptation;

Observe carefully and earnestly ask for advice.

One must be good at thinking and not pursue any "ultimate goal" so high that one can obtain the "goodness of one's own heart" and "goodness of another's heart" that this society needs, and only then can one find the correct way of getting along, that is, "benevolence".

Thinking about this level, the logical causal relationship between the first half and the second half of Zixia's sentence can be regarded as truly established.

Zhou Zhi believes that the above should be taught to everyone by the school, but unfortunately, the school only requires dictation and translation.

Having such a "language counselor" in the first class really made Xu Youzhi feel relieved.

And the Chinese scores of the first echelon of the first class are even quietly improving, gradually widening the gap with the other three classes.

The third sister is actually a beneficiary, but she is a science major, and the time is already so tight, Zhou Zhi really can't help much.

With regard to the fourth child's attitude towards learning, Zhou Zhi felt that it was a bit mysterious, so he didn't leave the opportunity to the third sister to study for another year of tutoring.

But these are the fifth uncle's family affairs, and he has no right to talk too much.

The secret paper question bank is still somewhat useful for the third sister, at least she can do one more set than others, but it's hard to say how much it will help.

Before going to bed, pour the precipitated rice milk off the water on the surface, and shovel the bottom starch into the Shau Kei to drip on it.

I got up at 06:30 the next day, and went to the riverside for a morning run with my fourth child, but this time I didn't have the good luck like yesterday.

After returning home, he started reading morning standing by the window, looking up from time to time to see Jiang Shuyi's movement on the slope, accompanied by the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, Zhou Zhi felt that such a day was so beautiful.

When everyone got up, the third sister, Zhou Zhi, and the fourth child raised their hands in unison, indicating that they didn't have to eat breakfast today, and started making Zhuerba.

Authentic Zhuerba’s rice noodles are actually more particular. You can’t use pure glutinous rice flour. You need to mix rice and glutinous rice flour so that the rice flour will not be too sticky, and you can eat it with your hands without sticking to your hands.

The stuffing should be made of bacon. Fire bacon is actually bacon, but it is fresh bacon just taken out of the smoker's shed. It is served with stir-fried fresh minced meat, sprouts, minced ginger, chicken essence, sesame oil... pay attention Served with minced bamboo shoots, minced shiitake mushrooms, and chopped green onions.

Of course, if there are wild onions, it will be the best match.

There are also lard sweet fillings, but Zhou Zhi basically doesn’t make them.

The humidity of the rice flour is still very high, just add dry glutinous rice flour, first to adjust the viscosity, and second to adjust the humidity.

This kind of pig cake is more difficult to wrap than glutinous rice balls, because the viscosity is not as good as that of glutinous rice balls, and it is easy to crack, so it needs to be wrapped by patting.

The advantage is that after steaming, it can be easily taken out and taken to give away.

Generally, the outer circle of the pig's cake should be wrapped with a layer of vegetable leaves to prevent hands from sticking, but this kind of exquisite method does not have this problem.

In order to obtain the visual effect, it is also necessary to use yesterday's soft grass to burn green, beat the velvet, and make juice to dye the dough into green.

This is also Datong's busy work. The fourth child lit up the wood stove in the big kitchen downstairs, and thick smoke billowed upstairs and downstairs for a while.

Mix the glutinous rice flour, take out a little and knead it into a round shape the size of a ping-pong ball, make a small hole in the middle, put the stuffing in it, pat the seal well, pat it into an ellipsoid shape, put it one by one In the large steamer, there will be a pot after 10 minutes.

I dug up a lot of wild onions yesterday, and Zhou Zhi steamed a total of two grids. My grandma got her grandmother's inheritance and likes soft and sticky things very much. This can be kept for three to five days.

Zhou Zhi picked two plates first, and said, "You guys eat first, I'll order some for Jiang Shuyi and his family."

The eldest lady found a small basket, and was also picking in it: "How can my fourth child and I eat so much, you and third sister will bring some back later, and give grandma and your parents a taste too."

Came to Jiang Shuyi's house with a plate: "Uncle, Auntie, come to eat pig cake, made from the wild onions that Jiang Shuyi dug yesterday."

Jiang Shuyi said in surprise: "It's still green! So cute!"

He reached out and grabbed one and took a bite: "Mmm, it's delicious...a bit hot..."

When Du Yufen came out and saw Jiang Shuyi's appearance, she became very angry, and quickly turned around to get two plates and two pairs of chopsticks: "You are a big girl, pay attention to your image, and don't be afraid of Zhou Zhi's jokes!"

Zhou Zhi couldn't hold back his smile: "Jiang Shuyi's eating method is also correct, this is what he eats by grabbing at the head of the field before going to the field, and it's a good skill if you grab it and don't stick to your hands, come here too, auntie and uncle .”

Du Yufen smiled and said, "We've already had breakfast, and your Uncle Jiang is making lunch, but Shu Yi has been waiting since morning, and if you don't come, she will run to your aunt's house."

"mom!"

"Speaking of which, you are from Jiachuan, and you are a guest." Du Yufen said, "In the end, we had to give you two meals, how embarrassing it is!"

"I guess you haven't had breakfast yet, right? Then hurry up and eat, don't wait for us!"

Zhou Zhi just picked up one and took a bite: "Well, you can hardly find wild onions in Jiachuan, this pig's cake stuffed with wild onions is delicious!"

Jiang Qiao came over with two bowls: "There's still some soup with silk, you two each have a bowl, it's just right for Zhu'erbai!"

The two of them ate a plate of Zhuerba to their heart's content. After eating, there was nothing to do. Jiang Shuyi dug out a small book of formulas and new words from her schoolbag: "Let's go to the woods to memorize formulas and new words."

Zhou Zhi took the notebook, and couldn't help admiring: "Girls are careful, and Lao Mu and I put them in two tea tubes. We grab a handful every day, throw them in the other tube after we recite them, and switch them to continue after we finish catching them." .”

And Jiang Shuyi's small book is half the size of a palm, with the front and back corresponding. In order to save money, two horizontal lines are drawn on the page, which are divided into three spaces: upper, middle and lower. In each space, half of the formula is written, which corresponds to turning the page. the other half.

Moreover, Jiang Shuyi summed up many more promotional formulas than Zhou Zhi and Lao Mu's, and they were also much more detailed. Many of them were key steps and key node explanations for solving problems, and they were meticulously recorded.

The two came to the grove beside the stone ladder, Zhou Zhi didn't need to memorize the words, so Jiang Shuyi took the test; Jiang Shuyi summed up many formulas that Zhou Zhi was not familiar with, so Zhou Zhi also asked Jiang Shuyi to test him.

The two compared each other like this, and the time passed before they knew it, and it was the fourth child who came over: "The third sister asked when you will go back."

"what time is it?"

"It's past three o'clock."

"Oh, I have to go. I haven't left my house this week. Shu Yi, let's go back by the car at four o'clock, right?"

"Well, I'll go back and collect my things."

"Then we will leave on time at [-]:[-]."

It didn't take long for everyone to get ready. The eldest lady, the fourth child, the third sister, Zhou Zhi, and Jiang Shuyi's family of three walked towards the gate of Tianhua Company's factory together.

There were still seats in the car, and Du Yufen bought a bag of sugarcane from the sugarcane stand at the entrance of the factory: "You guys take it and eat it on the way, Zhou Zhi, how much you can help us study comfortably."

"We must help each other, don't worry, auntie, I will send Shuyi to the school gate in a while."

"Hey, goodbye then, I often come to Rongshan to play!"

"Okay! Uncles, aunts, eldest lady, fourth child, let's go!"

An hour later the bus arrived at Jiachuan, and the third sister got off at the Hongshuihe Bridge first, and it was the closest to go home from there.

Zhou Zhi continued to sit on the school playground, sent Jiang Shuyi to the school gate, and told Jiang Shuyi that if Boss Xu asked, he would go to study at home on weekend nights.

When I got home, my mother was cooking a rare meal, and my father was sitting in front of Zhouzhi's desk. There was an iron plate in front of him, with a piece of wax paper sandwiched on it, and he was engraving the test paper with an iron pen.
