Intact is often used to describe the state of objects, buildings, works of art, etc. It can also be used to describe people's physical health, interpersonal relationship and psychological state.
When people say that something is intact, it means that it has not been damaged, broken or missing, and has maintained its original integrity and perfection. For example, a painting can be said to be intact without any scratches, fading or damage; If there are no structural problems, loopholes or cracks, the building can be said to be intact.
At the same time, when a person's physical condition is described as intact, it means that he is healthy and free from any diseases and injuries. When people's relationship or psychological state is described as intact, it means that there are no contradictions, disputes or psychological troubles, and good harmony and balance are maintained.
In the cultural tradition, integrity is also an important value concept. For example, in China's traditional culture, the ideas of harmony between man and nature, Taoism and nature all emphasize the harmony and balance between the universe and human society, which can also be understood as the pursuit of an intact state.
In practice, people can pursue a perfect state through various practices. For example, when maintaining items, pay attention to details to avoid damage or wear; In family life, we should communicate, understand and support each other as much as possible to establish a harmonious and happy relationship; In work and study, we should pay attention to planning and managing time, and give full play to our talents and advantages in order to improve our own value and achieve our personal goals.
Complete allusions
According to legend, Confucius visited an ancient temple with several students when he was young. Due to disrepair, this ancient temple is very shabby, with mottled walls and sloping columns. Confucius' students commented on the dilapidated and desperate state of the temple.
But Confucius gave a different evaluation: although the temple looks shabby, this is the place where it is intact. Although this ancient temple has been in disrepair for a long time, its original structure, historical and cultural value and people's awe of it are still intact. Therefore, although the surface looks shabby, its internal value and spirit have not disappeared.
The value of things depends not only on the external appearance, but also on the internal spirit and meaning. Even if an article or thing itself looks shabby, it still has important significance and value as long as its intrinsic value remains intact.
