——北京师范大学教育管理学院沈立博士
《养蒙针度》囊括了从三百千千到四书五经,从《古文观止》到《历朝东捷录》共计16本经典教材,收录了传统经典中包含的8247个不重复的汉字。如果认识了这8247个汉字,不仅能够通读上述16本经典,还能通读中国传统几乎所有的经典。
《养蒙针度》分三部分:序言、凡例说明与正文。(一)序言主要由孙苍璧先生介绍作者潘子声先生与成书的缘由,以及对《养蒙针度》的评价。(二)凡例,则是作者对本有关内容与使用方法的说明,其中凡例的第二与第三主要介绍了字卡的制作与学习方法,读者可以亲自尝试。正文中每个部分,都是对不同常见私塾教材中的不二字进行说明。
《养蒙针度》并非一本关于知识灌输的书籍。它更像是一位循循善诱的引路人,一位耐心细致的观察者,一位鼓励探索的同伴,致力于在个体成长的关键时期,点亮那扇通往内心世界的窗户,并引导其以最适宜的方式,去认识、理解并接纳那个正在逐渐清晰的自我。 这本书的核心,并非在于提供一套现成的答案,或是刻板的教条,而是着力于唤醒个体内在的潜能,激发其独立思考的能力,以及培养其应对世界复杂性的韧性。它深知,每个生命都是独一无二的宇宙,拥有各自的光芒和节奏,因此,真正的“养育”与“引导”,不应是标准化、模式化的塑造,而是要尊重个体差异,发掘其独特的禀赋,并为其成长提供适宜的土壤和阳光。 在内容层面,《养蒙针度》不直接教授具体的知识点,例如历史年代、科学公式、文学流派,亦不深入探讨某一个具体的学科领域。它不会告诉你“秦始皇统一六国是在公元前XXX年”,也不会解析“光合作用的化学方程式”,更不会详细分析莎士比亚某部戏剧的人物塑造。相反,它关注的是更普适、更根本的成长动力和心智模式。 首先,它会引导读者去审视和理解“认知”的本质。这并非指学习认知心理学的理论,而是通过一些生动的故事、深刻的寓言,或是对生活细节的精妙描摹,来展现我们是如何感知世界,如何形成观念,以及这些观念是如何影响我们的行为和感受的。它可能会描绘一个人在面对同一件事情时,由于认知角度的不同,所产生的截然不同的反应,从而引发读者对自身认知模式的审视。它鼓励读者去区分“事实”与“解读”,理解“视角”的重要性,并学会从多维度的角度去看待问题,避免陷入僵化的思维定势。 其次,《养蒙针度》强调“情绪的智慧”。它并非教授情绪管理的方法论,例如深呼吸、冥想技巧等,而是通过细腻的笔触,描绘情绪的起伏跌宕,以及情绪对个体成长轨迹的深远影响。它可能会讲述一个孩子在遭遇挫折时的失落、恐惧,以及如何在这种情绪的洪流中,逐渐找到平静与力量的故事。它鼓励读者去接纳自己的各种情绪,无论是喜悦、悲伤,还是愤怒、焦虑,认为它们都是生命体验的一部分,理解情绪背后的信号,并学会与之共处,而不是压抑或放纵。它会潜移默化地传递一种理念:情绪并非敌人,而是我们内心世界的信使,理解它们,就能更好地理解自己。 再者,这本书关注“关系的艺术”。这里的关系,泛指个体与他人、与环境、与自我之间的各种连接。它不会列举社交礼仪的规则,也不会讲解人际沟通的技巧。它更侧重于通过一些充满温情或启示的场景,来展现和谐关系的可贵,以及建立良好关系所需要的同理心、尊重与界限。它可能会描绘一对母子在相互理解中的成长,或是朋友之间在互相扶持中的蜕变。它会引导读者去思考,在人与人的交往中,什么才是真正的连接,什么才是健康的依恋,以及如何在保持独立性的同时,与他人建立深厚的情感纽带。同时,它也关注个体与自然、与社会的互动,鼓励读者去感受生命与环境的共鸣,去理解社会运行的脉络,从而培养其社会责任感和参与感。 此外,《养蒙针度》 deeply explores the concept of "intrinsic motivation" and "self-discovery." It doesn't prescribe specific career paths or hobbies, but rather nurtures the spirit of inquiry and exploration. It might recount the journey of individuals who, driven by an innate curiosity, ventured into unknown territories, not for external rewards, but for the sheer joy of learning and understanding. The book aims to ignite that spark of passion within each reader, encouraging them to discover what truly resonates with their soul, what activities bring them a sense of flow and fulfillment, and what dreams they are uniquely positioned to pursue. It emphasizes that true growth comes from within, from a genuine desire to learn, to create, and to contribute, rather than from external validation or societal expectations. Another significant aspect is its focus on "resilience and adaptability." The book does not offer strategies for overcoming specific challenges, such as academic pressure or professional setbacks. Instead, it weaves narratives that highlight the human capacity to bounce back from adversity, to learn from failures, and to adapt to changing circumstances. It might present stories of individuals who, despite facing immense difficulties, found inner strength and resourcefulness to navigate through tough times, emerging wiser and more resilient. The underlying message is that life is inherently unpredictable, and true strength lies not in avoiding challenges, but in developing the inner fortitude to face them, learn from them, and continue moving forward with hope and determination. The "curiosity and wonder" that permeates the pages of 《养蒙针度》 is not about memorizing facts or acquiring encyclopedic knowledge. It is about fostering a lifelong love of learning, an insatiable desire to explore the unknown, and an appreciation for the mysteries of existence. It might present observations of the natural world, the intricacies of human behavior, or the beauty of artistic expression, not to be analyzed and dissected, but to be marveled at and experienced. The book aims to keep the spirit of childhood wonder alive, encouraging readers to approach life with an open mind and a sense of awe, to ask questions not for the sake of getting answers, but for the joy of asking itself. Finally, 《养蒙针度》 cultivates a profound sense of "self-awareness and self-acceptance." It does not offer self-help techniques or diagnostic tools for identifying flaws. Instead, through empathetic storytelling and insightful reflections, it guides readers towards a deeper understanding of their own strengths, weaknesses, values, and aspirations. It encourages a compassionate and non-judgmental gaze upon oneself, fostering an environment where imperfections are seen as integral parts of the human experience, and where growth is a continuous process of becoming, rather than a state of achieving perfection. The ultimate aim is to empower individuals to embrace their authentic selves, to find contentment in their own being, and to live a life that is true to their innermost nature. In essence, 《养蒙针度》 is a gentle invitation to embark on a lifelong journey of self-discovery and personal growth. It does not provide a roadmap with predetermined destinations, but rather equips the traveler with the compass of self-awareness, the map of emotional intelligence, and the sturdy boots of resilience, encouraging them to chart their own unique and fulfilling path. It is a testament to the power of inner cultivation, the beauty of the human spirit, and the endless possibilities that lie within each individual.
