Vì sao nói: ‘Giáo dục xưa dạy phép trừ; giáo dục nay dạy phép cộng’?

Dear viewers In tonight's moving program we invite you to listen to two songs with the following content Lesson 1 Why is it said that old education solves subtraction while modern education solves addition Section 2 How does the processor deal with the relationship between virtue and money Please join us in watching Today the proportion of people with degrees in Vietnam can be said to be higher than in any previous historical period Social order should better than before But why is society facing an increasingly serious decline in social morality It can be said that the manifestations of social life originate from education Therefore let's discuss the goals of education in the past and present The educational philosophy of Confucianism teaches the method of subtraction Discussing educational goals The Classic of the Book of Documents one of the four classics of Confucianism also known as the Four Books was written Taoism is great aimed at promoting the inherent virtue and goodness of human beings and renewing them Make the people abandon evil and follow goodness leading everyone to the highest level of moral perfection Only when one reaches the highest level of moral perfection can one remain steadfast in one's aspirations Once one's aspirations are steadfast the mind becomes tranquil Calmness of mind brings stability Once the mind is stable thoughts about matters can be comprehensive Think through the matter thoroughly before handling and resolving the work properly Every thing has a beginning and an end a root and a peak Every matter has a start and a finish Knowing what to do first and what to do next is approaching the principle of the way Reading this passage we see that the goal of education is to discard the old and embrace the new to abandon evil and pursue goodness A person who is studying is beginning to walk the path of learning step by step Remove the bad temperaments When the bad temperaments are removed good ones will take their place Gradually following nature will lead to the highest level of moral perfection Finally knowing what to do first and what to do next is approaching the principle of the way This means cultivating the Way and the highest stage is attaining the Way Learning has three essential elements: parents teachers and students All three must be dedicated to learning In accordance with virtue meaning also aiming to uphold morality and human dignity Do not take personal satisfaction as the goal When parents teachers and students all When the goal is consistent the teaching process curriculum development lesson planning and strict disciplinary measures are in place They all aim to abandon evil and pursue good If one strays from this goal then whatever promotes human evil must be eliminated Every person has both good and evil sides coexisting The good side is beneficial for everything All things have a dark side which can be harmful Therefore it is necessary to learn to eliminate the negative aspects of human nature such as character and bad behavior To put it mathematically it's like learning subtraction step by step gradually removing the mind's attachments The evil in people When people abandon the notion of evil people will gradually become better The more it is eliminated the more it will be Removing many bad habits makes a person more noble ultimately reaching a level of morality The highest level of perfection When reaching this state one naturally controls and restrains excessive desires The level of one's own does not harm society For society to be peaceful everyone must Emphasize moral cultivation Law only has the effect of external deterrence and supervision and cannot manage It touches the heart of human beings The Great Learning states that from the Son of Heaven to the common people all must Cultivate virtue as the foundation A tree with a rotten root cannot have a healthy top It's impossible Reading this part we see that the origin brings peace to the family and prosperity Cultivating moral character is the foundation of social well-being If families and society stray from this goal the Evil people will be many and the virtuous few leading to chaos with no law able to manage it effectively Today it is difficult to understand the relationship between moral cultivation and making money considering morality as something separate Morality and making money are not related In fact if you observe carefully you will see the connection The relationship between moral cultivation and earning money is closely related For example a skilled craftsman Hardworking responsible and trustworthy people will have more work and higher income than others A careless and lazy worker The current educational goal is to learn addition People work in order to have a better life and human creativity is the source of this The one who promotes prosperity for society Desire is the driving force behind labor and creativity bu No it also has a downside like an endless barrel If there's no stopping point people will be stuck all day Struggling back and forth without a moment of rest or relaxation becoming a slave to material things According to current beliefs humans have two main needs: material and spiritual All activities Engaging in society is to satisfy these two needs And learning is the path to achieving satisfaction All human knowledge academic degrees and professional certifications are meant to meet the needs of human beings This to a certain extent is not wrong if it is controlled but if it is exaggerated Excessive pressure can create significant stress for individuals and families causing the entire society to fall into a cycle of turmoil How to maximize satisfaction When the cycle becomes uncontrollable people will seek a way Using underhanded methods to benefit oneself Finding ways to maximize the child's needs People are actually trying to stir up the bottomless barrel of desire Each second Every moment striving to fill the bottomless bucket of desire Mathematical imagination is eac Adding a little more each time adding to infinity is called addition So what is wrong with addition One cannot detect the mistake by standing within the tree of pursuit of satisfaction but if one steps away from the pursuit of material satisfaction fame and status and returns to seek the true essence of life Peaceful one will realize that pursuing excessive needs is extremely mistaken Creating pressure and complexity on their own Why is a child always happy and comfortable when in their hands ey have no inheritance or property while adults to a greater or lesser extent They all have a certain amount of wealth but rarely achieve happiness Comfortable for three consecutive days The person is due to excessive calculations and overthinking It takes away the fun In short the fundamental difference between today's educatio and traditional education was education of the past that took moral cultivation as its foundation to perfect a person That is learning the subtraction method personally eliminating bad temper and unjustified desires Today's education is about how to satisfy people's desires for wealth status and fame In reality it's about learning addition to infinity A person without a sense of morality will easily Do bad things Currently to prevent bad behavior it is necessary to enact laws that use punishment Punishment is a coercive act not a voluntary one so its effectiveness is low Only on the surface Laozi said there is no greater disaster than not being content no greater harm than desire You have it So if you know that you have enough you will always have enough Or because you don't know when you have enough Strive to add more If you know enough you won't seek to add more That is why you achieve peace Listen to the second part titled "How did the ancients explain the relationship between virtue and money " The ancients clearly saw the relationship between virtue and money Only those with virtue can have a large family and wealth Only when there is an heir to the family and clan can it be honored and endure It is impossible Because of their wealth and high positions they do things against their conscience and harm others Therefore the ancients placed great importance on cultivating the mind and being good emphasizing the importance of accumulating virtue Lam Tac Tu who lived during the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty was appointed by the Qing court It was correct that the Great Spirit went to Guangzhou to enforce the opium ban At that time Many people came to bribe him If Lin Zaiyu wanted to get rich he could easily obtain it several million ounces of silver enough for his entire family to live comfortably without worrying To pursue wealth and power yet Lin Zai Cong is a scholar who cares for the country and its people He knows the medicine Corruption is a serious threat to the people and he rejected all the bribes they offered The British traders in Hong Kong were ordered to destroy nearly 20 000 chests of opium The following year the British army threatened the court The Qing dynasty seeking peace dismissed Lin Zexu from his post To proceed with the accusation and investigation Lin Zaiyu was exiled to the border region as a soldier There He had to endure the harsh life of exile for five years Lam Tac Tu is indeed a noble man He was a loyal and brave general What will become of his descendants After Lin Zexu's death Lam Gia no longer had any reserves of wealth but that did not lead to their decline For several generations the descendants of He there are many people who have become successful through reading In my generation and surely in the Lin family's generation there have been those who passed the exams Doctorate degree During the Republic era the scholarly lineage of the Lin family remained uninterrupted At that time The chief justice of the Supreme Court Lam Tuong is the son-in-law of Lam Tac Tu Moreover the moral standards of the court His virtue is also very high Maintaining a clean and honest character and refusing to accept bribes is a commendable action To accumulate virtue for future generations That is why the descendants of Lam Tac Tu have received such great blessings The high-ranking official of the Qing dynasty Zeng Guofan a military leader was a person of great power and influence He controlled all the military finances Nevertheless he never abused his power to take a single penny Money in the military camp belongs to oneself not even daring to take a single grain of salt from the soldiers Zeng Guofa He did not hope to become rich nor did he expect to accumulate wealth for his descendants He was only worried Later generations of descendants are infected with the habit of extravagant waste making it difficult for them to become successful Influenced by Zeng Guofan The Tăng family has always been self-reliant striving for progress and constantly striving to improve Thanks to this the Tăng family has thrived for generations They have produced many talented individuals A person's family tree of the Zeng clan began with Zeng Guofan nearly For 200 years through eight generations there has never been a single disgraced or destructive heir On the contrary Among the descendants of the Zeng family nearly 200 people have received higher education including renowned talents Born from the Tăng family they have more than 240 people Upright and kind-hearted people will receive blessings What will become of those who unjustly collect money Here is a story that also took place under the quiet evening At that time in the Guangdong region there were three wealthy merchant families They are Wu Shi Fan Shi and Kong Shi These three families took advantage of the opium war Exploiting the country's difficulties to amass great wealth earning hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver Their wealth is so vast that it almost rivals an entire country They dress extravagantly They all have luxurious gasoline-powered cars to pick them up living a life of opulence and extravagance At that time fang was the name for ancient carved characters most of which were accompanied by a mark The collections of ancient calligraphy paintings from the Ngo Phan or Kong families show that these precious works were once collected and preserved in these three houses However several decades later among the descendants of their offspring Not a single person achieved success all were in decline without exception At the same time In Shanghai there was a wealthy merchant named Chen He could be considered the first king of real estate investment Tran's assets amount to 40 million yuan His two sons each received a share 20 million yuan Famous ancient Chinese bronze artifacts nearly half of the banners were At the Chen family's residence Just that much is enough to imagine the level of luxury of the Chen family However after seven years land prices in Shanghai suddenly dropped sharply and Chen's speculation failed led to bankruptcy The ancient treasures and family heirlooms of the Tran family almost all of their assets were They were seized and sold by the bank The university signing ceremony has a saying those who have a different attitude towards the usual ceremony come en it would also deviate from the regular ceremony The general idea is that a person using a team against morality It is unjust to gain wealth so they will also use improper methods It is improper for wealth to be lost The ancients first considered noble families with prestigious lineages en the most important thing is virtue character and profound moral substance Virtue has been passed down through generations of ancestors Accumulate enough merit to benefit generations of descendants This is what those with a secular worldview believe There is no way to imagine On the contrary people today discard morality which is the fundamental aspect It determines the future of human illness emphasizing money as the highest priority believing that money is everything The higher one's social status the more wealth one has Therefore people pursue money It may not be from the guild With money it can save a lot of money for the children Holding office it can then take advantage Before the inheritance of property and houses they had already prepared everything for their children and grandchildren Many people This is doing good things for their children On the contrary neglecting their children's education Basic ethics Yet can their descendants maintain that wealth Many They looked puzzled when thinking about this issue At that moment they suddenly remembered that fate is determined by heaven But today what people do is seen as a violation of family traditions No people see it as an admirable model to follow Even using it to do bad things Sitting in a high position they resort to doing all sorts of evil deeds to maintain that position Many people They have been sentenced to fixed-term or life imprisonment This is the true retribution From ancient times until now Money and power if separated from virtue cannot last long and furthermore will bring about misfortune They never stop On the contrary those who do not seek personal gain work well for others Cultivating a virtuous mind brings blessings naturally Life and death are predestined wealth and honor depend on heaven the teacher cannot change the fate of the crab All virtues in life come from virtue If one does not value and maintain one's dignity cultivating virtue and performing good deeds So even if there is a lot of cabbage there will come a time when nothing is left Therefore when educating children Parents should not hate teaching children basic human values Thus The child will maintain the fortune left by ancestors striving hard on their own Thus a new karma is created It can flourish for a long time Dear viewers our "Nighttime Updates" segment comes to an end here Thank
