This new book sharing event will be held at the "Big Bookcase", focusing on the Analects and our lives
"If Confucius' thought is like a high mountain. There are many cliffs and cliffs leading to the mountaintop, which are difficult to climb directly. So, we can build a better path... This book can provide young people with step-by-step steps to reach the ideological height that" The Analects "should have. Recently, a new book sharing meeting on" The Analects "and our life -" Bao Pengshan Talks about the Analects "was held at the Pudong Library, where renowned cultural scholar Bao Pengshan shared his classic reading insights.".
The Analects of Bao Pengshan is divided into two volumes. Combining daily life and the stories of Confucius and his disciples, the Analects is divided into four modules, 15 key words, and 60 lessons. The content is explained in a thematic manner, reaching the core values and conveying warm knowledge in the story, which is a further interpretation and exposition of the Analects.
Why is there a youth version of "Bao Pengshan Talks on the Analects"? In Bao Pengshan's view, the Analects, as the most core classic of traditional Chinese culture, has its own height and difficulty, making it suitable for launching a youth version. So when telling the story, the book tries to make the content more vivid, vivid, and daily. Starting from the confusion of readers in their daily lives and studies, it helps readers step by step approach Confucius and climb the ideological peak of the Analects.

However, Bao Pengshan stated that the youth version is not a "vulgar version" or a "popular version": "When we tell the content of the Analects in a language that is easily accepted by the public, we cannot belittle it and make the depth of our thoughts shallow. The youth version is not about" flattening "Confucius, but still adheres to the original ideological height, depth, and breadth of the Analects." He also believes that the youth version is also suitable for adult reading: "With my experience as a teacher for decades, the understanding ability of teenagers is often better than that of adults. This book, called the youth version, is actually aimed at a wider readership."
"The Analects is a must read book for Chinese people, representing the core of Chinese culture." In Bao Pengshan's view, the book discusses three issues: ideal politics, ideal society, and ideal life. Therefore, when reading the Analects, we should not be too narrow. Reading is to cope with life, not exams, and the confusion in life requires guidance from ancient sages and sages. In addition, for teenagers, reading classics can be done in the order of "The Analects", "Mencius", "The Great Learning", and "The Doctrine of the Mean": "This is still like climbing a mountain. After reading" The Analects "and" Mencius "," The Great Learning "and" The Doctrine of the Mean "are not difficult."
