Why do we have to talk about "explaining words with words"

? Why do you want to explain the text? Speaking of this issue, in fact, we can understand it by watching our national studies fever several times. Every time is a lively beginning, and then it cools down quietly, because every time I can't do anything real, I can only play tricks in form, engage in Hanfu, festivals and reading classics to join in the fun. So this year, it was officially announced that many projects in the cultural town have failed, and the same is true. Hot spots are sought after, facades are made, and things in the foundation cannot be made. Even if the slogan of reviving traditional culture is shouted loudly, it will be the third wave of Chinese studies fever, and I am afraid it will leave without suspense soon.

? In fact, everyone knows that there are good things in Chinese studies. Now that the material is rich, the lack of spiritual level is even more obvious. At this time, first swallow the jujube, and then the enthusiasm of Chinese studies will be lively. Wait until, like Guoxue City, we use the facade to attract everyone in. Aren't they just some commercial streets? This taste is not good, and even some toxic things are mixed in it to harm people. This is not a good culture, but a waste of culture.

? Many people are doing cultural projects, and even directly regard culture as business. Needless to say, we have seen a lot about selling dog meat, which is not worth the effort to criticize. Fortunately, many people still understand that the essence of traditional culture is in the classics. It is a valuable job to dig out the hidden content, and it is really important to reconnect the cultural heritage that has been lost for so long.

? Not many people do this, that is, they try to interpret the classics, at least much less than the teachers in the Chinese Department, Philosophy Department, History Department and Social Education Department of colleges and universities who are involved in this aspect. And there are more people doing this than colleges and universities. Maybe teachers in colleges and universities know that they have several brushes and don't want to make a fool of themselves. After all, it is not the same as doing theoretical research. Create a topic and use your own name to fool a large number of people. The classics of traditional culture, every word and sentence, need real efforts to show their knowledge clearly to the audience to identify. I have met some famous professors. They are so famous that they can really speak classic sentences. Let me see that these famous professors are not young, even children are naive and ridiculous. So far, I admire their courage.

? Speaking of which, everyone will make mistakes in interpreting classics. The reason why we want to talk about college teachers in particular is because this is a basic requirement for them. Adhering to the responsibility and resources of education in colleges and universities should be the most important task of inheriting traditional culture, but even the basic skills have not been achieved. Therefore, it is not easy for folk scholars to explore the true meaning of Chinese studies and deeply understand that culture is the foundation of national luck and the source of everyone's life. It's harder to concentrate and explore for years.

? Even with such a good heart, it is inevitable that you can't penetrate the barrier of words. Some people even talk about classics, completely ignoring the ancient characters of China, which is quite different from our modern language. This is a very sad thing, because ancient Chinese characters, like the classics themselves, are all expressing abstract meanings, and our current text interpretation, whether it is Xinhua dictionary or a higher-level dictionary, is mainly based on expressing images and meanings, which inevitably leads to the problem of words not expressing their meaning. Especially on the basis of modern writing, I spent a lot of effort to study, and finally I was able to go far-fetched. In my own eyes, I only see that I am right. It is also a pity that I can't start from self-criticism and rigorous learning attitude, from the basis of writing, and then from the classic original intention after breaking the writing stage.

? The characters in ancient Chinese, like those in Shuo Wen Jie Zi, all have ancient meanings, which are quite different from the modern language or modern classical Chinese in Yang Ming's Notes on Mind Learning. This difference is not only in the sense of words, but it will be verbose, but it can be explained by metaphor, just as we all know Chinese in China and then learn Chinese in junior high school and senior high school. At this time, when we look at Japanese characters, there is the origin of Chinese characters. With our own background in China, we dare to interpret Japanese works and pretend to be experts in these works. This metaphor itself seems absurd enough, but it is exactly the same to explain the classics of traditional culture in modern Chinese.

? China culture can't make a market, which is the root cause. This society, in particular, is very impetuous in utility. One of the reasons is that those at the bottom are willing to make great efforts to do this kind of homework, because even if they have this kind of heart, they may not be able to do it by hard work. Anyone who knows the origin of Shuo Wen Jie Zi should also know that it took Xu Shen thirty years to complete it. He advocated "the Five Classics are unparalleled" and thought that the interpretation of Chinese characters is not only a philological work, just as the Five Classics are written in words, the original text is the foundation of classics, which is of great significance in large scale, category and perspective.

? Some people may think that ancient Chinese characters have been lost and civilization is moving forward. I've already left it in the hands of my predecessors, so why pick it up? From a material point of view, it is true. As soon as any material innovation comes out, the old things will inevitably be eliminated, what's more, ancient Chinese characters are not like old cultural relics, and the older they are, the more valuable they are. But just as we chase the material so tightly, where can we look back to our hearts and see what else we need spiritually? Since ancient times, I have read sage books, all of which are about self-cultivation, governing the country and leveling the world. Now, how can I pay attention to these things? The arrangement of food, clothing, housing, birth, illness and death is great.

? When we understand that the rise and fall of Chinese studies is related to the future of the nation, this era has encountered the most fundamental problems. Now many people are singing the golden age. If so, it shows that the ideological foundation has been done before, why should we revive traditional culture? It is precisely because of the lack of justice and moral decay that it has to be revived, and what should traditional culture revive? This is to clarify the meaning of traditional culture, including China's ancient classics. This topic has some contents, which are particularly important and need to be fully discussed. Please continue to pay attention and welcome to communicate.

? Let's go back to explaining the text, so looking at what's on the text is actually the fundamental problem. If you don't solve it from this, just like the information you want to know, you can't understand many symbols, so you are in a hurry. When we talk about today's topic, we have prepared a systematic course to explain the single meaning of Chinese characters. I welcome all colleagues' criticisms and suggestions, and also welcome teachers from various universities to study. I hope that through these things, Chinese studies will really heat up, the soul will awaken in the truth, and everyone's heart will find their own life again. This is only the first step of the long March.

? By the way, I would also like to remind the lovers of Chinese studies to watch others talk about Chinese studies and traditional culture, not to look at their value, not to listen to their rhetoric, and not to believe the ancestral teachings handed down from generation to generation by his family, especially those who read Feng Shui gossip with the Book of Changes. The easiest way is to ask him not to beat around the bush, but to say the meaning of the original sentence directly. Everyone can try it, no matter what ghost or evil spirit it is. At this point, in fact, we can understand why we should talk about explaining Chinese characters, just like it is open on wood without roots and can only be fake flowers.
