Classic Education Concept Class
Classics are cultures that record the high level of human wisdom, and the spiritual connotations contained in them shine with the brilliance of human nature. Education must give children the most essential spiritual and cultural nourishment. Eastern and Western cultural classics are the highest wisdom of mankind and are undoubtedly the best.
Classical education is a common educational tradition between the East and the West for more than two thousand years. The study of classics not only provides children with the best temperament and spiritual education, helping them to establish a path for life, but also lays the foundation for cultivating talents who integrate ancient and modern times and are able to understand both China and the West in the future.
It is also very important for adults to study classics, practice what the saints said, and enrich and improve themselves. In the hustle and bustle of daily life, let us calm down, read and study classics, and practice the teachings of saints, so that our hearts will be bright, our hearts will have something to rely on, and our lives will be stable.
Every Wednesday afternoon: 12:40-13:10 reading classics together; 13:10-14:30 studying classics together, discussing and sharing.
Purpose of the Classic Educational Philosophy Study Class
The benevolent do not worry, the wise do not be confused, and the brave do not fear. Reading classics means talking to sages and learning from wise men, which will bring us infinite happiness, wisdom and courage. When children recite classics, they effectively absorb and store the nutrients of life during the best period of memory. The road to growth is winding and long, and these nutrients will continue to nourish the child’s soul, inspire wisdom, and provide energy. Under the guidance of classics, children will stand taller, go further, and live happier and more understanding! As parents, we ourselves must also like classics, get close to classics, and learn classics so that we can pass them on to our children. For the sake of ourselves and our children, let us learn the concept of Bible reading together and understand the specific methods of Bible interpretation education!
Confucius had a rough life, but he commented that he “was so angry that he forgot to eat, and he was so happy that he forgot his worries, not knowing that he was approaching old age.” His happiness came from the good virtue and wisdom in his heart, not anything else. I hope that through learning we can get closer to such a state of happiness! Everyone is welcome to read, learn, think and improve together!
