"The heart of a gentleman is always in awe."
This sentence is to warn people that in life, they must be like a gentleman and always have a heart in awe.
The word "reverence" does not mean fear, nor does it mean cowardice. It means respect and love from the heart.
Reverence is a great wisdom in life, reverence for parents, heaven and earth, reverence for grains, reverence for culture and knowledge, and reverence for all life.
Only a person who is in awe can be grateful to the world. Only a person who is in awe can appreciate the beauty and contentment of life.
01
Respect heaven and earth parents
Respect heaven and earth, because the nature of heaven and earth gives us the basis for survival and also provides material security.
Human beings are the spirit of all things. The reason why they can continue to live and thrive depends entirely on sunlight, air, land and rain.
The ancients said that the sky and the earth are vast. We admire the sun, moon and stars, and we also fear the mountains, rivers and fields.
Respect our parents. It is our parents who have given us fresh life and raised us from newborn babies to adults.
Our food and clothing come from our parents, and all kinds of knowledge are passed on to us from our parents. When we grow up, our parents put in all kinds of hardships and work.
Therefore, only by being in awe of heaven and earth, and in awe of parents, can we be considered to have conscience and be grateful. Only such people can have the capital to gain a foothold in society and survive.
02
Respect the grains
"It is noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat is dripping from the soil. Who knows that every grain of food is hard work."
When I was a child, every time it was time to eat, my parents would emphasize that food should not be wasted. Food is the most important thing for the people. One porridge, one meal, one scoop and one drink should be remembered as hard-earned.
htmlEvery fruit is full of farmers’ sweat and hard work.
has read the article "Red Sweet Potatoes" by Lin Qingxuan, which describes in detail how red sweet potatoes filled the stomach of his old father during the war years, and how they filled his stomach during his childhood.
After decades of ups and downs, two generations of food and clothing, and two generations of life, relied on red sweet potatoes to survive countless unbearable moments of hunger.
Although everything got better and better later, the food was dazzling, and the red sweet potatoes were no longer worth much, the author and his father still regarded the red sweet potatoes as a treasure in their hands.
Gold, jewelry, diamonds, and agate are far more expensive than rice and noodles. However, in the event of natural disasters or wars, a bowl of rice can save people's lives, but the so-called luxuries cannot be used as meals.
Therefore, reverence for grains is not just a few words that can be said at once. It is a noble behavior that requires us to not waste from the bottom of our hearts and to practice saving.
03
Awe of cultural knowledge
A sunny morning, the dusk when the sun sets.
It is a rare good thing to quietly read, practice calligraphy and learn knowledge in front of your desk.
Philosopher Bacon once said that when you are lonely and lonely, reading can be a pastime. When you talk, knowledge can be used as decoration. The correct application of knowledge means power when you go about your business in the world.
Life needs progress, and times need to move forward.
Anyone who has watched the TV series "The Age of Awakening" will remember that the New Culture Movement initiated by Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao, Hu Shi and others promoted the ideas of democracy and science. At the same time, it also made full ideological preparations for the outbreak of the May Fourth Movement.
A nation without knowledge is a barbaric and terrible nation. Therefore, arm the mind with knowledge, use knowledge to awaken ignorance and backwardness, and a single spark can start a prairie fire.
Only by respecting knowledge, can we stand higher, and by respecting culture, can we see further.
04
Reverence for all life
Blooming wild flowers and lush weeds, although humble and ordinary. But it is decorating the world with beauty.
Everything that comes and goes is an endless encounter.
We don’t understand the language of flowers or the meaning of birds, but we will be in awe.
Because there is a living world, there will be vigorous vitality everywhere.
Flowers and trees give us visual beauty; bees and butterflies are busy like humans.
To revere the lives of all things is, in fact, to revere ourselves.
The word awe is our lifelong practice.
Life is a one-time journey, and you must never be the only one who is arrogant and arrogant. Because arrogant and sloppy behavior often represents despicable words and deeds.
A humble gentleman, as gentle as jade.
allows us to achieve our goals and stop our actions. Be a person who respects parents, heaven and earth, food and grains, culture and knowledge, and life in all things.
Understand respect every day, and live a beautiful and peaceful life every day.
