12) 孔子聖賢之道- 捨財做福

Posted on July 6, 2011 by Wzhang

Translated 孔子聖賢之道- 捨財做福: 世人以衣食為命，所以施財為最重要的, 內以破自己的慳吝心，外以濟人的急難。 捨才剛開始會有些勉強，到後來就會成為習慣，這最可以洗滌私情，去除執吝啊！ 若世人都見財起意，這世上的悲涼之事會生出多少啊！徐四兒出身貧困能拾金不昧，這是特別應稱道的美德。 放下自私自利，真誠付出，自然收穫福德，我們要從自身做起呀！ Confucianism – Shedding wealth makes Virtue （She Cai Zhuo Fu） Food and clothing are for the world to live, so shedding wealth for the poor is the most important. It can break … Continue reading →

4) 孔子聖賢之道- 劝人为善

Posted on July 6, 2011 by Wzhang

生為人類，哪一個沒有善良的心，只因追隨私心及利樂, 而所追求的私心及利樂又沒有止境，於是容易使人失足墮落。因此，與人相處應該方便的指導他，警惕他，撥開他的迷惑，使他恢復善良的心。 一時勸人以口，百日勸人以書，兩者應同時進行，有了機會可以勸說而不加勸說，這是失人。 不能勸的而硬加勸說，這是失言，應該加以慎重考慮。 On a cold winter day, a couple of kids were having a snowball fight. Two men came and saw them having fun, which made one of them say, ” Ah. memories of childhood!” They both laughed. … Continue reading →

2) 孔子聖賢之道 – 善之偏正

Posted on July 6, 2011 by Wzhang

Translated 孔子聖賢之道 – 善之偏正 ： 善者為正，惡者為偏，人人都知道。 但也有以善心而行惡事者，正中偏也。以惡心而行善事者，此乃偏中正也。善的偏正要清楚明了，才會認清事之善惡。 Confucianism – (Shan Zhi Pian Zheng): Good is positive, evil is negative. Everyone knows this. But there are also kindness that turns into evil, but sometimes in the middle as well. With nausea … Continue reading →

李清照少女填詞

Posted on July 5, 2011 by Wzhang

李清照是中國歷史上有名的女詞人。她是山東濟南人，出生在北宋末年。 10歲左右的小清照，漸漸地弄懂了詩詞的韻律，她自己開始學習寫詩，填詞，繪畫。她在寫詩詞的時候，總要反復修改，反复品味，直到自己滿意了，才拿給父親母親品評。一天傍晚，小清照在閨房中向外張望，見竹簾外細雨如絲，滿樹潔白的梨花紛紛落地。小清照觸景生情，按照《浣溪沙》的曲牌，填了一首詞。填寫完畢，她走到了自己的琴台旁，雙手撫著瑤琴，琴弦發出幽怨的曲調，小清照一邊彈琴，一邊唱著自己剛填寫的詞。這時父親李格非正和幾個文人在客廳里高談闊論。突然，從小姐的閨房里傳來了一陣清麗的音樂，客人們都停止了談話，聚精會神地聽琴聲和歌聲。有一位名士問李格非：“這詞字字清新，是什麼人寫的？”李格非笑著說：“是小女清照隨便填著玩的！”眾客人都大吃一驚，紛紛稱讚：“想不到一個10歲少女竟填出這樣好的詞！”後來，李清照終於成為一位出色的女詞人。

陶弘景菜園求學

Posted on July 5, 2011 by Wzhang

古代的時候，對自然界產生很多誤區，人們相信螺贏是將螟蛉變成自己的兒子這個荒唐的傳說，還把領來的兒子叫做”螟蛉子”。陶弘景對此表示懷疑。他在村邊的菜園子裡找到一窩蜾蠃，蹲在菜地裡聚精會神地整天觀察。陶弘景發覺它們有雄也有雌，經過許多天細緻的觀察，陶弘景終於揭穿了蜾蠃銜螟蛉的秘密：原來蜾蠃也有自己的後代，螟蛉是被銜到窩裡給幼蟲當食物的，根本不存在”螟蛉義子”這回事！從此，陶弘景更感到，凡事最好親自觀察，絕不能人云亦云。 Once upon a time, there was a man named Tao Hong Jing, studying herbs and such, for he was a herbalist. This is the story of his childhood- he was curious, determined, and stubborn! He would always ask,”Why?” and … Continue reading →
