Zeng Shiqiang advocates that children must read three books throughout their lives

Every nation has different views on the same thing, and the key lies in thinking. Since the characteristic of learning lies in thinking, we must read the \”Book of Changes\”. Reading the \”Book of Changes\” gives us a way of thinking. Let your children memorize the \”I Ching\” from an early age, and then practice their thinking through practical activities. This will be great in the future and will be useful throughout their lives. We should give children the most useful things to remember in their lives when they are the youngest and most suitable for memory, otherwise it will be wasted. I say this so you don’t have to be afraid. I saw with my own eyes a three-and-a-half-year-old girl memorizing the \”Book of Changes\” with more than 4,000 words from beginning to end. I asked her do you know what it means? She said she didn\’t know. I said it doesn\’t matter. If you memorize it, you can reflect on it throughout your life and keep using it. As for the \”Three Character Classic\” and \”Disciple Regulations\”, the content needs some adjustment, otherwise it will not be of much use in the future after memorizing it for a long time. In the final analysis, what we have in the East is just a Book of Changes. But it is not easy for you to fully understand the \”Book of Changes\”. Therefore, two people, one is Confucius and the other is Laozi, come to help us understand. In fact, there is not much, just three books. CCTV recommends over 500 high-scoring excellent documentaries. Children will become addicted to self-discipline after watching the pattern. Therefore, I prefer to let the children memorize three books when they are young, one is \”Book of Changes\”, one is \”Tao Te Ching\”, and the other is \”The Analects of Confucius\” will be useful to him throughout his life. We must know that both Confucius and Laozi are teaching the principles of the \”Book of Changes\”, but they have a division of labor. I made it very clear today that Confucius was educated without distinction, and he explained the \”Book of Changes\” for most people of moderate intelligence. And Lao Tzu specializes in teaching the Book of Changes to highly intelligent people. Confucius believed that he spoke without doing. But Lao Tzu believes that if everyone takes this path, then we in China will have no ontology and no cosmology. So he said: Well, I will do this part of the work. So after the two old men finished talking, they divided the work. They are complementary, without conflict or contradiction. There is only one Tao in the whole world, and this Tao is not only taught by Taoists, but also by Confucians and hundreds of schools of thought. This Tao is the Tao of the \”Book of Changes\”, called the Tao of Changes, which has lasted for thousands of years. In this way, everyone will understand that the \”Book of Changes\”, the Analects of Confucius, and the Tao Te Ching are our consistent Chinese path and the core wisdom of our Chinese nation. Let your children recite, learn, and practice the principles from an early age, so that they can become qualified Chinese people in the future and benefit from them throughout their lives. We need to think about our children in the next twenty or thirty years, not now. This is called conscience. We must think for him that what he learns now will be used twenty years from now. This is the correct way of thinking.
