愛蓮說

散文：愛蓮說 作者：周敦頤 朗誦：佚名 　　水陸草木之花，可愛者甚蕃。晉陶淵明獨愛菊。自李唐來，世人甚愛牡丹。予獨愛蓮之出淤泥而不染，濯清漣而不妖，中通外直，不蔓不枝，香遠益清，亭亭淨植，可遠觀而不可褻玩焉。 　　予謂菊，花之隱逸者也；牡丹，花之富貴者也；蓮，花之君子者也。噫！菊之愛，陶後鮮有聞。蓮之愛，同予者何人? 牡丹之愛，宜乎眾矣。 林貝卡 2011年 冬 於美國

謝謝貝卡姐姐分享！周敦頤此篇短文是千年來最美的散文之一。是我讀書時最愛的古文之一。記得好像是收在了中央台的《閱讀與欣賞》節目之中。可是忘了是誰朗誦。我一直想在找這套《閱讀與欣賞》的書和配DVD。。。

貝卡姐姐，早！

九月小時候，最最不喜的科目就是古文，從來背不下來。。。於是上課時，一定被老師拎起，麵壁思過。。。

現在想想，如果當時老師可以用如此美麗的畫麵，愛美的九月可能會有所悟性溺～～～

漂亮！

哈哈，人人喜歡漂亮的花，各具特色。

Zhou Dunyi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zhou Dunyi (1017–1073) , born Zhou Dunshi, courtesy name Maoshu, was a Chinese Neo-Confucian philosopher and cosmologist born in present-day Yongzhou during the Song Dynasty. He conceptualized the Neo-Confucian cosmology of the day, explaining the relationship between human conduct and universal forces. In this way, he emphasizes that humans can master their qi ("vital life energy") in order to accord with nature. He was a major influence to Zhu Xi, who was the architect of Neo-Confucianism. Zhou Dunyi was mainly concerned with Taiji (supreme polarity) and Wuji (limitless potential), the yin and yang, and the wu xing (the five phases).

Zhou Dunyi had a Daoist perspective toward nature. There are stories of Zhou Dunyi loving his grass so much that he would not cut it, reinforcing the concept that humans should appreciate life in nature and the importance of non-action. Zhou Dunyi is also known to have said that the best quality of life is that of a pure Lotus growing out of dirty waters, where the Lotus is the natural equivalent of the noble person (junzi). He is known for pulling many ideas from Daoism, Buddhism and Confucianism.
