Chapter 47 what is the meaning of life

Qiao Xuan said: Life is actually an accidental beginning. We always think that we are the expectations of our parents, the glory of the family, and the future of the country.However, I ignored myself. This kind of self-awareness awakening may not be a big deal now, but in the distant Eastern Han Dynasty more than 1,800 years ago, when everyone was born with the sky, gods, monarchs, and teachers on their heads, "self-consciousness" " itself is ignored and downplayed.What Qiao Xuan said was unheard of, and it was closely related to his own experience. After Qiao Xuan was an official, he had a solid family background, a resolute character, a loyal and upright character, outstanding talents and learning, and a complicated experience. ".It means open-minded, absurd, magnanimous, and cynical, but any contradictory adjective can be used on him.

The Qiao family's reputation has accumulated for more than ten generations. The father and grandfather have been officials for two generations, with many servants and endless beams.Qiaoxuan grew up in Luoyang as a child, and he was a dog and lackey with his companions, so he was not good at school.The two hundred miles around Luoyang, including Yangzhou, Runan and other places, have left his footprints. Under the shadow of his family background, Qiao Xuan was recommended as Xiaolian and appointed as Luoyang Zuowei.During his tenure, he enforced the law impartially, and did not hesitate to offend Liang Buyi, the younger brother of Liang Ji, the then general.

General Liang Ji fell from power, and Qiao Xuan was reused. After four promotions, he became Prime Minister of Qi State.It stands to reason that he has suffered losses before, so he should know how to keep his official position, but he still does his own way and does not show favoritism.He was impeached and punished again. This time, the superiors had already prepared for it. He was not allowed to hang a seal and go home to do idle work. He was sentenced to four years of hard labor for building the city wall. Originally, he could spend money to get rid of the crime, but "Brother Qiao" refused. He said that he wanted to experience the feeling of pushing a cart under the scorching sun and carrying a load of dirt and sand. one day.

Qiao Xuan talked to the students with eloquence: life is our own first, and then there are various roles.When you come to this world, you not only have to take responsibility and pay responsibilities, but you also need to understand its value.Confucius said, "Stand up at thirty", and you have to experience various tastes extensively in the first thirty years of your life.Make life as colorful as possible.Don't be afraid to fail, because a meaningful life is full of tests. The students were overwhelmed by Qiao Xuan's words. Qiao Xuan sighed: Everyone, you must know that when people come to this world, they are born and then die.This process goes from meaningful to meaningless because of the death of life.Death is a part of life. People should not only live a wonderful life, but also pass it on to the world after death.As for why people live?I would like to give you eight words: Life is for experience, death is for fragrance.

The students responded with warm applause. Qiao Xuan stood up, walked to the bookshelf behind him, pointed to the books on the shelf and said to the students: Did you see it?everyone.To learn modern knowledge, you can only learn the profound and high-level classics left over from the previous dynasty for more than a thousand years. Like a newborn baby, Qiao Xuan carefully picked up a roll of ancient bamboo slips, the ropes connecting them had rotted, leaving a little bit of dust on them. The eyes of the students fell on the bamboo slips that Qiao Xuan held in both hands. Qiao Xuan held the bamboo slips in one hand and pointed to the bookshelf with the other, saying: The reason why I chose to use the bookshelf as the background is that our Taixue library has become a place to look up information. , has lost its original value of promoting knowledge.You must know that these are the excellent cultural orphans of our nation for thousands of years. They have been handed down to the present after several catastrophes in the previous dynasty. .

What Qiao Xuan said made the students shy and feel a heavy responsibility on their shoulders. Qiao Xuan pointed at himself embarrassingly: The reason why I have come to this day is also due to the teachings of these knowledge.However, I didn't study hard when I was in Taixue, and most of the knowledge I learned was self-taught in various places. The students burst into laughter. Qiao Xuan told the students that the library not only preserves books, it is like a vast ocean of knowledge, allowing those who own it to sail farther.It is undoubtedly the best way for Qiao Xuan to win the hearts of the students, to put them from the playfulness, looseness, ignorance and fearlessness of the past into the depth of history, and let them enter the library.In the library, students directly communicate with the knowledge of philosophers and sages thousands of years ago, so that they can surpass the level of teachers in the classroom.He believes that the enriched knowledge of the students will definitely push the gentlemen to work hard on their studies.Teachers and students have become dull and lazy, and they seem to be passable, but in fact it is a taboo for academics.

Qiao Xuan said frankly: I don't want to see you spend your good time for unnecessary fun, this is also the mistake I made.If I could go back in time, I would rather learn more knowledge so as not to make mistakes in my future work. The students smiled knowingly, letting Qiao Xuan understand that the absurd things he did in the past were indeed widely spread in Luoyang. Qiaoxuan asked the students to study in the library on the second afternoon of every five days.Since then, the dust that covered the great library of the Eastern Han Dynasty has been stamped by the footsteps of the students, and the dust that has been on the bamboo slips for hundreds of years has been shaken off.This is her final mission as a library, to train the last group of students who can understand ancient studies for the empire.In the not-too-distant future, Dong Zhuo will enter Beijing, and the imperial capital will move westward to Chang'an. Ninety-nine percent of these peerless letters that have gone through the four hundred years of the previous dynasty, which cost a lot of manpower and money, will be destroyed.

The spies sent by Cao Jie and Wang Fu also listened to the five-day talk and went back to report to Cao Jie. Cao Jie nodded slightly, it seemed that he really had two tricks. After "Collecting Hearts", Qiao Xuan made another move - Zhengxing. Qiao Xuan was sixty-two years old, and in front of Da Honglu and the chief, he was also the teacher of Confucian classics in the first grade.In the words of the teachers who opposed Qiao Xuan: It seems that Mr. Qiao is addicted to being an official and wants to be addicted to teaching and educating people.Just wait, everyone, that prodigal son from a famous family back then has climbed to the position of chief executive today. If he doesn't toss the Taixue to the bottom, he will not conform to the way of heaven and earth.

If he wanted to give the students a proper shape, everyone except Qiao Xuan himself would sweat for him.
