Biography of Zigong-Should Zigong Enter Confucius Gate?

I believe everyone knows Zi Gong, who is the richest disciple of Confucius. His original name was Duanmu Ci, the word Gong, and he was a Wei Guo and Li Ren at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. Little Confucius is thirty-one years old. He started his ancestral business in his twenties, and his family is very rich. You may think that his family is so rich and has good conditions. He is a family of businessmen, and his business is so good. Why did you worship Confucius before he was twenty-five years old? Or should the uterus enter the hole? We look at the following paragraph with such questions and doubts.

Zi Gong worked for Confucius for one year, calling himself Confucius, and the uterus said that he was better than Confucius. The next year, he said that he was as good as Confucius. In the third year, he said that he was not as good as Confucius and did not know the sacredness of Confucius. What changes have Zigong experienced in the three years before and after entering the hole? Very impressive. Zi Gong tried to get to know Confucius and himself over time. Then let's think about it. What is the difference between uterus and Lutz in future study and life? He will certainly show some advantages in the womb, such as good eloquence, business acumen and no problem in understanding Confucius' Tao. In addition, Zigong was born in a business family. He was educated in his early years, but Luz was not educated. In some ways, he is particularly like a savage, but Luz is absolutely loyal to his teacher, but he is not so outstanding academically. So what's the difference between Zi Gong and Yan Hui in their later study and life? Yan Hui has a high understanding. In academic field, Yan Hui is definitely the first, but Zi Gong is good at eloquence and business, so in this respect, he naturally has no in-depth understanding of Yan Hui, and Yan is quite different from Zi Gong's personality. So what kind of questions might the uterus be interested in in in future study? I think he may be interested in benevolence, righteousness, propriety and righteousness. He couldn't come to Confucius because of these academic studies that he was not very good at. He studied business, didn't he? Its entrance door is for Xiu De. In order to cultivate his inner morality, he will enter this cave door.

After Zi Gong entered Confucius' door, he continued to study and kept asking questions. The uterus is good at asking questions. Many famous sayings of Confucius were asked by the uterus. Well, the answer to the question is good, but Lutz is not good at asking questions. Yan Yuan is always used to describing him by being silent all day, which also highlights Zi Gong's excellent eloquence. Zigong wanted to abolish the tradition of killing sheep on the first day of the first month. How can the uterus understand the ceremony at that time? The uterus may think that the ceremony is just an external form, because the kindness at that time was dead and had no essential connotation, so there is no need to have this etiquette. On the other hand, Zigong is a businessman! Killing sheep will definitely make him feel wasteful, a bit like Mohism. Later, Confucius only replied: "You love sheep, and I love ceremony. Why didn't Confucius point out the essence of ceremony? " ? Actually, it's because Zigong is not in a good state now and he doesn't understand it. Confucius also taught students in accordance with their aptitude. Zi Gong went to ask the political adviser, and Confucius also answered them one by one. Confucius said that politics should meet three conditions: sufficient food, sufficient soldiers, people's trust, and the uterus constantly asking questions. If three were to be removed, who would be the first? Confucius went to join the army, went to dinner, and left the letter. If it was a uterus, what would he remove first? He will get rid of the food first, because food is not the most important thing to him, and then he will go to the army, because it is troubled times and very important. Without you, you have no strength, you can't support a day, and finally you will believe it, because the uterus is a businessman. If he has no integrity, will his business be good? This should be Zi Gong's point of view. Confucius divided scholars into three levels. The first level is shameful behavior, let them do everything in the world and not humiliate your life. The second level is that the clan calls them filial piety, and the township party calls them younger brothers, that is, filial piety. The third level is that words must be done, and actions must be fruitful. What kind of impact might Zi Gong's three views encounter after listening to Confucius' truth? I think it will definitely have an impact, because his ideas will definitely be different from those of the master, but what is the most important thing to learn from the conversation with the father and son? Zi Gong will also grow and improve through constant dialogue with Confucius.

Zi Gong certainly appreciated Confucius' Tao very much, so he followed Confucius around the world. However, in Cai Chen, he was deprived of food and his followers fell ill, which was nothing more than a huge crisis of faith for Kong Ming. Zi Gong also has his own views on such a problem. He said to Confucius, teacher, your Tao is too big, so the world can't tolerate Confucius, so we can lower our moral standards a little, so that we can respond to people who cooperate with the world. If the price is too high, we can reduce the price appropriately. Of course, the view of uterus has its truth, but Confucius said that a good worker can marry without working, and a good worker can be skillful without slipping. It is our own responsibility to repair this, but whether this road can be completed in the end depends not only on ourselves. It is Yan Hui's point of view to have the recognition of the whole world. In Yan Hui's eyes, monasticism is endless, while Lutz's view is that good people should be rewarded now. We are now practicing the way of being a gentleman and seeking the behavior of a gentleman, but why can't the world tolerate us? In fact, it's not that we don't report it, but it's not the right time yet. As the master said, be kind and be kind. So this so-called avenue, you need to experience it all your life and do it all your life. Maybe we can't do it in the end. Later, Confucius said, I will never speak again. Zi Gong said, Teacher, what can I say if you don't speak? How can I learn this Tao? When did Confucius say the leader had spoken? The four seasons have been running and everything has been growing. When did God bless you? Confucius actually pointed out some benevolence here, called heaven, a world that is endless and creates everything. This is the cycle of life. Zi Gong made constant progress in his later study and life, and Confucius spoke highly of him, which is exactly the change of Zi Gong.

Zigong is very good at diplomacy and business. He is good at hoarding goods and knows when to sell. He can grasp the economic transformation of the whole country well and get business opportunities many times, so Zigong is very rich. Later, people also used rich pottery to evaluate the uterus, so Zigong's business is very good, like a duck to water. Zi Gong studied under Confucius, and later returned to China to defend his country and became an official. He made a fortune between Cao Lu and Confucius. Among the 72 sages, Zi Gong is the richest man to save the family. The original line was also a disciple of Confucius, but even those coarse grains were not enough to eat in the original line. The car made in Zigong was four horses, followed by many people. None of the countries he went to shared gifts with the national army. Confucius himself said that Yan Hui's education was almost finished, but he had no money, but his uterus refused to listen to his destiny and went into business. How did Confucius evaluate the commercial behavior of Huo Zhi's uterus? Obviously, Confucius' evaluation of Zigong's commercial behavior is a little critical, because Confucian disciples, their fate is to take to the avenue and extrapolate this heart, but the uterus has gone to business, so he will say this about Zigong, but I don't quite agree, because Zigong has its own life background, good eloquence and good business. These are his life backgrounds. If he only does what Confucius says, what about Zigong's diplomacy? Needless to say, it must be good. His eloquence is excellent. There is a period of high light in the uterus. Someone wants to make an insurrection in Qi, and he wants to attack Lu, so Zi Gong lobbies monarchs to save Confucius' home country. He spoke highly of Qi, Wu, Yue and Jin, which made them feel that it made sense. There was also a way out, so Zigong was finally implemented according to Zigong's plan. And does Zi Gong's diplomatic strategy conflict with the teacher's ideal? There must be, because Confucius' ideal is to implement benevolent government and restore etiquette, so if he were Confucius, he would definitely prefer to use etiquette to solve it, but Zigong eventually led to the crusade of various countries, that is, the use of force, so it was in conflict with Confucius' ideal.

Confucius is ill. Please look at Zi Gong. Confucius leaned on a crutch and said, Zigong, why are you late? Later, Confucius lamented the destruction of Mount Tai, the destruction of pillars and columns, and the withering of philosophers. The world hasn't arrived yet, it's been too long. It is impossible for Confucius to pursue Tao all his life, and now it is hopeless. Confucius knew he couldn't do it before, but now he is so helpless to say such a thing! Zi Gong knew the specific political ideal of Confucius, but now, hearing the teacher's words, Zi Gong may feel sad, sorry and helpless. Seven days later, Confucius died, and Confucius' disciples kept filial piety for three years. Filial piety is actually a son's filial piety to his parents, but now, but now Confucius' disciples are filial to Confucius. What a feeling between teachers and students! But Zigong has been mourning for six years. Why should the uterus keep the tomb for six years? Because the uterus really worships the teacher, this is his sincere feelings for the teacher, and here, Zigong has turned a new page.

So now let's think about whether the uterus should enter the hole or not. I think Zigong should, because if Zigong has been doing business all her life, I don't think it makes sense, because her life is just a dull past, and Ah hasn't found the real direction and the place she wants to go. Entering the door is a change, so you can find your own way, go to Xiu De to practice, and never leave. This is to achieve a balance, then extrapolate and finally die.
