《鱼我所欲也》

《鱼我所欲也》 　　作者：孟子 http://mot.xzcn.com/subject/68ce199ec2c5517597ce0a4d89620f55.html 　　鱼，我所欲也，熊掌，亦我所欲也，二者不可得兼，舍鱼而取熊掌者也。 生，亦我所欲也，义，亦我所欲也，二者不可得兼，舍生而取义者也。 生亦我所欲，所 欲有甚于生者，故不为苟得也。 死亦我所恶，所恶有甚于死者，故患有所不避也。 如使人之所欲莫甚于生，则凡可以得生者何不用也。 使人之所恶莫甚于死者，则凡 可以避患者何不为也！ 由是则生而有不用也；由是则可以避患而有不为也。 是故所欲有甚于生者，所恶有甚于死者。 非独贤者有是心也，人皆有之，贤者能勿丧耳。 　　一箪食，一豆羹，得之则生，弗得则死。 呼尔而与之，行道之人弗受；蹴尔而与之，乞人不屑也。 　　万钟则不辨礼义而受之，万钟于我何加焉！ 为宫室之美，妻妾之奉，所识穷乏者得我欤？ 向为身死而不受，今为宫室之美为之； 向为身死而不受，今为妻妾之奉为之； 向为身死而不受，今为所识穷乏者得我而为之： 是亦不可以已乎？此之谓失其本心。 　　 　 　鲜鱼，是我想要的东西；熊掌，也是我想要的东西。 （如果）两样东西不能一齐得到，（只好）放弃鲜鱼而要熊掌。 生命，也是我想要的；正义，也是我想要 的。 （如果）生命和正义不能够同时得到， （只好）牺牲生命来保住正义。生命本是我喜欢的， （可我）喜欢的东西还有比生命更重要的， 所以（我）不肯干苟且偷 生的事。死亡本是我厌恶的， （可我）厌恶的东西还有比死亡更厉害的， 所以（遇到）灾祸也不躲避呀。 如果人们想要的东西没有比生命更重要的， 那么，一切保住 生命的手段，哪有不采用的呢？ 如果人们厌恶的没有比死亡更厉害的， 那么，一切可以避开祸患的事情， 哪有不采用的呢？靠某种不义的手段就可以苟全生命， 有的 人却不肯采用。靠某种不义的门道就可以避免祸患， 有的人却不肯去干。这样看来，喜欢的有比生命更重要的东西， 厌恶的有比死亡更厉害的东西，不仅仅有道德的 人有这种精神， 每个人都有这种精神，不过有道德的人能够最终不丧失掉罢了。 　　一碗米饭，一盅肉汤，得到这些就能活下去， 得不到便饿死。（可是）恶声恶气地递给人家， （就是）过路的（饿汉）都不会接受；踩踏过才给人家， 讨饭的叫化子也不屑看它一眼。 　　有人对优厚的俸禄却不区别是否符合礼义就接受它。 那优厚的俸禄对于我有什么好处呢？ （只是）为了住宅的华丽，妻妾的侍奉和我所认识的贫困的人感激我 吗？ 过去宁愿送命也不肯接受，今天（有人）为了住宅的华丽却去做这种事； 过去宁可送命也不肯接受，今天（有人）为了妻妾的侍奉却去做这种事； 过去宁可送命 也不肯接受，今天（有人）为了所认识的贫困的人感激自己却去做这种事：这种不符合礼义的做法不是可以停止了吗？——这就叫做丧失了他的本性。 　　 　　《鱼我所欲也》选自《孟子?告子上》。孟子主张人性善，他认为人生而具有恻隐之心、羞恶之心、辞让之心、是非之心。只要不使这些“善心”丧失，就在道 德方面具备“仁义理智”。本文从这种理论出发，阐明了义重于生、义重于利和不义可耻的道理，提出舍生取义的主张。孟子认为如果把生命看得比义重就会做出不 义的事来，赞扬了那些重义轻生、舍身取义的人，斥责了那些苟且偷生、见利忘义的人。告诫人们要辨别义和利．不要失去“本心”。 　　　　 　　文章从多个角度、用多种方法来阐述“舍生取义”的道理。 　　 　　（1）正面说明为什么要“舍生”：因为有东西比生命更可贵，所以不能苟且偷生；因为有东西比死更 可恶，所以有时候不要逃避杀身之祸。 　　 　　（2）事实证明确实有比生更可贵的东西，那就是义；确实有比死更可怕的东西，那就是不义。先用假 设的方式阐明，如果认为没有什么比生更可贵，那么人们会千方百计，不择手段地去苟且偷生；如果认为没有什么比死更可怕，那么人们就会挖空心思，寻找门路去 临难苟免。表面上是假设，实际上说确实有这样的人。再语气一转，介绍另一种人：他们本来可以采用某种手段活下去，可是他们不肯采用这种手段；他们本来可以 通过某种门路避免死，可是他们不愿那样做。就是因为有比生更可贵的东西，有比死更可恶的东西——义比生更可贵，不义比死更可恶。 (对比两种生死观，批判苟且偷生、临难苟免的人；赞扬重义轻生、舍生取义的人)又从“性善论”出发，认为人人都有义重于生的这种想法，但只有贤者能够保 持，而一般人则容易丧失。 　　 　　（3）类似“不受嗟来之食”的故事，阐明为人要辨别义和利，不应苟且偷生。第三层(第2自然段)：直斥王侯贵族和追求功名利禄的士人不义而贵。孟子认 为“宫室之美，妻妾之奉，所识贫乏者得我”都是身外之物，和人的生命相比，实在微不足道。但这些人正是为了这些身外之物，竟不管是否合乎礼义的原则，接受 了优厚的俸禄。他们与那种宁可饿死，也不愿接受“嗟来之食”的人相比，该是多么可耻可鄙啊。所以孟子质问他们“是亦不可以已乎?“最后指出这就叫失去了人 的本性。

A Brief History of Chingay Singapore

Chingay Singapore - Colourfully dressed dancers.

I thought it'd be strange to turn up for the massive Chingay 2008 Parade of Dreams and not know how it all came about. So I've put together a short History of Chingay.

Here goes...

* In 1880, a massive procession took place in Penang, Malaysia during the Chinese New Year season. Its purpose? To 'welcome the spring' even though this was obviously the Tropics.

* Huge flags were waved, to the clashing of cymbals and gongs. The performers made their way down the streets with much aplomb.

* The word Chingay came from a Hokkien phrase which means 'to paint the face and wear elaborate costumes'.

* The first Chingay performers danced, juggled and waved huge flags on shoulder-carried floats. They had their faces thickly painted and wore elaborate costumes. A tradition derived from ancient China.

* Over the years, the performing troupes competed against each other. Because of competition,
o the floats became more colourful and elaborate,
o donkeys were increasingly used to pull the floats,
o only the most beautiful girls were allowed to sit atop the floats.

* After WW2, the traditions spread south to Johore. It underwent some transformation - trucks were used to carry the floats; dragon and lion dances became more noisy yet; stiltwalkers began to entertain the crowds.

* Then in 1972, 2 persons died from faulty firecracker explosions in Singapore during Chinese New Year. Firecrackers were banned. With the noise so essential for Chinese New Year gone, there was a need to keep the festive atmosphere up the following year. Chingay Singapore was born. The history of Chingay was to change forever.

* Singapore's first Chingay in 1973 was an all-Chinese affair - lion/dragon dances, big-head dolls, martial arts demonstration, waving of huge flags, stiltwalkers.

* Chingay 1973 was a huge success. It was repeated every year after that. The other races in Singapore joined in.

* The Parade decentralised to the housing estates from 1974 to 1984.

* The Parade moved to Orchard Road in 1985 and has been held there until 2007.

* Chingay has become really big now - groups from every continent of the world have participated in this eagerly awaited Street Parade.

* 2008: Chingay 2008 moves to the City Hall - Marina Bay area, partly on feedback that more people want to pay for better views of the celebrations.

華人會社分幾類:

1. 同鄉會性質. 如:潮州同鄉會

2. 宗族性質:像本文中的李隴西, 譚光裕, 黃江夏, 陳穎川堂等, 比同鄉會還要狹窄一點, 通常是同一宗族的聚會.

3. 武術流派: 寶芝林, 精武門...

4. 宗教會所: 民間宗教性質. 關帝廟, 天后宮等. 有的勢力也很大.

5. 祕密會社: 洪門, 青幫等. 具有極其嚴密的組織文化, 手勢暗語戒律等. 最早因反清復明而產生.

洪門:
山: 五聖山, 九龍山, 義華山...
會: 三合會, 三點會, 小刀會...
堂: 和勝堂, 致公堂, 秉公堂..
社: 洪興社（對, 古惑仔那個）
公司:義興公司

青幫:
興武四幫, 興武六幫, 江淮泗幫, 杭三幫, 嘉白幫, 嘉海衛幫...青幫是不會打招牌出來, 堪稱是真正的祕密會社.

Genting Highlands Casino’s Sure Win Tips :-

Genting Highlands Casino’s Sure Win Tips :-

Tips No.1 : Budget. Make sure you have enough budget to bet. If not, i think you are thinking of giving your hard earned money to build the Genting’s road. For me, RM 1,000 enough already.

Tips No.2 : Mental. You must have a very strong mental. Do not be too easily physcho by the environment in the Casinos. Make sure you have enough rest before you step into the casino.

Tips No.3 : Goal. You must have a goal before you start betting. Do not be greedy. Know your own goal that how much you would like to win.

Tips No.4 : Consistent. Your bet must be consistent. Do not “Sai Lang” (in Cantonese) or “one goal” all your bet money in a bet. If you do that, you are committing suicide.

Tips No.5 : Strategy. Plan and do play some strategies in your bet. You may notice that there are some patterns in the game. If can, do not trust too much of them. Do take note and memorized some of the numbers and patterns.

Tips No.6 : Greedy. Do not be greedy. If you do win some money, withdraw it out first. You will only see tokens in your hands and do not know how much is the token’s value before you withdraw it out from the counter. See the cash money and you will control your bet.

Tips No.7 : Risk. No risk no gain. Sometime you just have to take some risk in your bet such as bet more token in it.

Tips No.8 : Never Give Up Attitude. You cannot give up upon your lost. If you do give up, that means you have loose all your money if you go down from Genting Highlands that moment.

Tips No.9 : Companion. Remember find a companion with you to go casino. Who knows what will happened, if you win a lot of money or loose.
