Study first.

Confucius said, "It's fun to learn and learn from the times! How happy we are, to meet friends from afar! People don't know or care, not a gentleman! "

This sentence can be used as the first sentence at the beginning of The Analects. This is not simple. It tells practitioners to be diligent, not just talking but not practicing, but to prove it with their own actions. At the same time, they explained clearly what the mentality of people with the same way is and what the mentality of people with different ways should be.

Only by studying and verifying with such a fixed heart can we get the true meaning of The Analects.

Yue: It's my pleasure to speak my mind.

Le: It is an atmosphere different from others.

Peng: Tongfeng, Fengfeng, pictograph. Phoenix flies, and there are thousands of birds, so it has become a word of nepotism. This is also a lie. Friends are birds of God and think they are cronies. In ancient times, it was a metaphor for virtuous people.

Learning from time to time is not only pleasant, but also a heartfelt pleasure.

It's a pleasure to have friends from afar, which means a different atmosphere.

These two sentences are about learning Tao because of hearing it, that is, gaining a sense of accomplishment of Tao and interacting with heaven and man.

People who don't know and don't care are not as good as gentlemen! Refers to the gentleman's attitude towards those who can't smell, repair or talk, and won't be angry with all kinds of heartless behaviors shown by these people.

Translation:

Confucius said: "Only by learning the true meaning of a gentleman's way of being human and verifying it in life can we get sincere pleasure!"

This kind of harmony between man and nature is like Feng's realm, and people with the same feelings come from all directions to share joys and sorrows!

For other ordinary people who can't know Ming Dow, without any irritation, this is the realm of a gentleman! "

A Confucius said, "He is also very filial, but few people are prone to make mistakes." It is not easy to make mistakes, but it is not easy to make mistakes. Gentleman's business is based on inheritance and Taoism. Filial piety is also the foundation of being a man. "

Translation:

A person is filial to his elders and obedient to his brothers; It is difficult for such people to make mistakes; There are no people who are not good at offending their elders, but people who do things that disrupt the routine. Gentlemen attach importance to the fundamental principle, and when the fundamental principle is established, the road to follow suit in the world will be created. Respecting elders and obeying brothers is the foundation of human beings.

Confucius said, "Clever words make the color so fresh."

People who are good at rhetoric and flattery have little moral cultivation.

Ceng Zi said, "I've visited myself three times. Is it cheating for others? Don't believe in making friends? Can you pass it on?

First, is there any unfaithfulness in treating people?

The first virtuous man refers to the virtuous man, and the second virtuous woman refers to the virtuous woman. Easy color: a pleasant attitude.

A virtuous man and a virtuous woman can do their best to serve their parents with a harmonious attitude; Serving the monarch, you can dedicate your whole body and mind; When interacting with friends, you can keep your word; Although such a person didn't deliberately learn how to deal with people, I'm sure he did.

Confucius said, "A gentleman is not strong if he is not heavy. Learning is not solid. Lord is faithful. A man without friends is worse than himself. Don't change it after it. "

translate

If a gentleman does not respect his self-esteem, he will lose his prestige. What you have learned is humble and superficial. Pay attention to the cultivation of loyalty and faithfulness. You are not as good as yourself without friends. Don't be afraid of making mistakes, but be brave enough to correct them.

Ceng Zi said: "Shen Dao, in the end, people's virtue will grow thicker."

translate

Ceng Zi said, "Be careful what influence you can leave, and see what our sages left behind. Often reminded, compared and imitated in this way, people's moral cultivation can naturally be profound. "

The way to govern the world is to educate the people with morality and bind them with courtesy and righteousness, so the people will know that they are shameless and enter the right path.

Confucius said, "Five out of ten, I am determined to learn; I am thirty years old; Forty without confusion; At the age of fifty, I knew my destiny; I am obedient at the age of sixty; I am still obedient at the age of seventy; I didn't cross the line. "

Translation:

Meng Wenxiao. Confucius said, "No violation." Yu. My son told me: "Sun Meng asked me about filial piety, and I didn't violate it." Fan Chi said, "What is it?"

Confucius said, "People are born with courtesy; When you die, you will be buried and sacrificed. "

Fan Chi said, "What do you mean by unbreakable ceremony?"

Ziyou asks filial piety. Confucius said, "Today's filial piety means that it can be raised. As for dogs and horses, you can keep them. Disrespect, why not? "

Ziyou (506 ~ 443 BC), surnamed Yan, named Yan (y·m·4n), also known as Yan You and Shu Shi, was born in the State of Wu at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. He was a famous disciple of Confucius and one of the "Ten Confucius". He used to be the butcher of Wucheng (county magistrate).

Ziyou Shaokong was forty-five years old and was one of the outstanding students in the later period of Confucius. He was praised by Confucius as the high flyers of literature, and later generations often compared him with Xia Zi as "a summer outing".

Translation:

Ziyou asked Confucius what filial piety was, and Confucius said, "Now there are some so-called filial sons in society who think that as long as they can provide food and clothing for their parents, it is filial piety. As for dogs, horses and animals, some people keep them in captivity. If you don't respect your parents, what's the difference between keeping dogs, horses and animals?

Tip:

The theory of filial piety is inserted into political articles, telling politicians to treat people with their parents' mentality, care about their sufferings, treat them with their children's mentality, think of them and respect them.

Ask xiaoxia. Confucius said, "Color is difficult. If something happens, the disciple will handle it; There is wine and food, sir. Have you ever thought that this is filial piety? "

He is a famous disciple of Confucius and one of the "Ten Philosophers of Confucius".

Confucius said, "Reviewing the past and learning the new can be a teacher."

Translation:

Confucius said, "If you review what you have learned in the past and gain new experiences, such people can become teachers."

Confucius said, "A gentleman is useless."

point out

This sentence should be a whole sentence with the previous one. A gentleman should grind people, and parents often say "it's too grinding" when educating their children. What is useless here is not to be as rigid as an artifact. When you review what you have learned, you will find new things and have new feelings, so you will always be in a rising realm. Today it is a beautiful Lianhu musical instrument, and tomorrow it will be a better artifact than Lianhu musical instrument. So we are always in a state of constant self-transcendence, so a gentleman is not a tool.

Confucius said, "Reviewing the past and learning new things can be a teacher. A gentleman is not a weapon. "

Translation:

Confucius said, "If you review what you have learned in the past and gain new experiences, such people can become teachers." . A gentleman should not be as rigid as a vessel, but should constantly improve his self-cultivation from all angles. "

Translation:

Confucius said, "A gentleman's major affairs are not about personal affairs, while a villain's affairs are not about the overall situation."

translate

Confucius said: "If you only learn and don't think deeply, you will be blinded by the meaning of superficial words;" If you only know fantasy and don't study and practice, you will take a detour on the road of learning and fall into danger. "

Confucius said, "If you attack heresy, you will harm yourself."

translate

If a person does not adhere to the doctrine of the mean and disproves those heresies excessively, it will also endanger his own integrity and deviate from the doctrine of the mean.

Just like a person who raises his hand to hit others, his own hand will hurt. The reason is the same. )

Confucius said, "What do you know? Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, but knowing! "

To annotate ...

Tour: surname tour, word. Born in 542 BC, a student of Confucius followed Confucius for a long time.

Translation:

Confucius said, "Yes, now I will teach you the way of wisdom. For what you know, you should take an attitude of knowing, and for what you don't know, you should take an attitude of not knowing. Don't pretend not to know, and don't be an outsider. This is the way of wisdom. "

Zhang Zixue Gan Lu Confucius said, "If you hear more doubts, if you are cautious about the rest, you will be rare." If you see more dangers, if you are cautious about the rest, you will regret it. If you don't say anything, you will regret it, and Lu is one of them. "

Precautions:

Zi Zhang, namely ZhuanSunShi (before 503-? ), the word, one of Confucius' disciples. Chen (now Dengfeng, Henan) was born in the late Spring and Autumn Period. Born in humble origins, he committed crimes and became an "outstanding scholar" through Confucius' education. Although he studied hard, he never went into politics and eventually became a professor. After the death of Confucius, he recruited disciples independently and preached Confucianism. He is the founder of Zhang Zi's Confucianism. Zhang Zi's Confucianism ranks first among the eight schools of Confucianism.

Manna: seeking the position of Lu; Seek official promotion.

Translation:

Zhang Zi learned from Confucius how to be an official. Confucius said: "Put aside what you have heard and what you don't know, and say what you know carefully, so as to reduce mistakes;" Observe more, put aside dangerous things in advance, and do other things that are not dangerous carefully to reduce regrets. Reduce mistakes when you speak and regrets when you do things. Guan Lu is one of them.

Aigong asked, "What is serving the people?" Confucius said to him: "If you make a mistake, the people will obey;" If you are wrong, the people will not accept it. "

Precautions:

Aigong: Ji, Jiang, the king of Lu. Ding Gong's son succeeded Ding Gong to the throne for 27 years (494-466 BC).

translate

The monarch asked Confucius, "What can be done to convince the people?" Confucius replied: "put the upright people above evil and waste, so that people will be convinced;" The position of recommending the wicked is above the real person, so that the people will not be convinced. "

Ji Kangzi asked, "What should we do to persuade people to respect and be loyal?" Confucius said, "When you are near a village, you should respect it;" Filial piety is loyalty; If you can't teach good deeds, persuade them. "

Tip:

Seeing Ji Kangzi asking Confucius about his internal affairs, I found that Confucius' answer at this time was a summary of the above items. That is to say, while the Analects exhorts filial piety, it insinuates that the monarch should also treat the people of the country with a filial attitude. This is the way to govern the country.

Precautions:

Ji Kangzi (? -468 BC) A native of Lu at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the beginning of the Warring States Period. My real name is Fei, posthumous title Kang. Dr. Lu was the political secretary at that time and the most powerful person in politics at that time.

Translation:

Ji Kangzi asked Confucius about his internal affairs: "How can we persuade the people to respect the monarch and be loyal to the country?" Confucius said: "People who are close to the world are easy to be solemn, people naturally respect the monarch, the country reports filial piety, and the people are naturally loyal to the country;" Recommend people who do good in the world to educate those who don't. This is people's advice. "

This corresponds to Chapter 49 of Laozi.

Saints are always careless, but they take people's hearts as their heart. Good is good, and bad is good and good.

Or Confucius said, "Zi Xi is not a politician?" Confucius said, "The book says,' Filial piety is only a matter of filial piety, brotherhood and administration.' Is it also the government, and it is the government? "

Translation:

Someone asked Confucius, "Why doesn't Sir engage in politics?" Confucius replied: "The book (classic) says that filial piety is to honor parents and love brothers, and to implement this filial piety in politics. (Treat people with filial piety) This is the highest state of governing the country. How can it be regarded as a career? "

Tip:

This chapter further confirms "taking the people as the heart." Some people say that Confucius "can't ask for an official", which is really because he doesn't know Confucius and can't read The Analects. That is, the generation of "cloud" in the first chapter of Tao Te Ching. The first chapter of Tao Te Ching: Therefore, there is no desire to see its wonders; There is always a desire to read. Both of them, with different names, are called metaphysics.

Confucius said, "People without faith don't know what they can do. If there is no cart, what can it do? "

(2) Also: yuè, a wooden pin on the front crossbar of an ancient automobile axle. Without bicycles and bicycles, cars can't go.

A person who doesn't keep his word won't gain the trust of others, and he doesn't know how to survive in this world. Just like a big car without a shovel and a small car without a shovel. How can a car go without important parts? "

Zhang Zi asked, "Do you know the tenth generation?" Confucius said: "Yin gains and loses, because, so you can know; Obviously, Zhou's gains and losses are due to. Its successor, though immortal, can be known. "

translate

Zhang Zi asked: "Can the society after ten generations know the present etiquette system?" Confucius said: "The Shang Dynasty inherited the etiquette and law system of the Xia Dynasty, and now we can know what was abolished and added in the reform;" The Zhou dynasty inherited the etiquette and law system of Shang dynasty, and now we can know what was abolished and added in the reform. If we continue to continue the etiquette system of the Zhou Dynasty now, it will be known to the world even though it has been a hundred generations. "

Confucius said, "Unless it's a ghost, it's not worth offering. Seeing righteousness is not for it, and there is no courage. "

translate

Confucius said, "Do not sacrifice ghosts and gods, but sacrifice them. This is flattery. Seeing that you should stand up and not do it is cowardice and lack of courage.

===============================================================================================

Bashu three places

Confucius called the Ji family: "Dancing in the imperial court is tolerable, why not?"

To annotate ...

Bashu: Yi Shu, meaning rank. In ancient times, there were eight people in one Shu and sixty-four people in eight Shu. According to "Zhou Li", only the Zhou Emperor can use eight Shu, the vassal is six Shu, the master is four Shu, and the scholar is two Shu. Ji means Zhengqing, so you can only use four letters.

translate

Confucius commented on Ji Jia's family and said, "He can do anything by playing music and dancing in his yard with the royal choreographer band. What else can't he do? "

Among the three schools, courage is the key. Confucius said, "Look at each other and see the crowd, and the son of heaven sees it."

Translation:

Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi and the musicians were ordered to sing "Yong" during ancestor worship.

How can it be used in your three private schools? "(against the ceremony)

Confucius said, "Is it unkind to be polite? People are heartless, so what are you happy about? "

To annotate ...

Music: the ceremony collapses and the music is bad; It refers to the great destruction of the rules and regulations of slave society.

translate

Confucius said, "What's the use of observing etiquette if a person is not bound by the norms of benevolence, righteousness and morality?" If a person has no kindness, what is the use of rites and music? "

The essence of Fang Lin's politeness. Confucius said, "What a big problem! Ceremony, not luxury, is quite frugal; It's easier to mourn than to grieve. " To annotate ...

Lin Fangzi Qiu Zi, born in Qinghe (present-day Shandong) in the Spring and Autumn Period, is the 27th grandson of Bigan. According to legend, he is one of the seventy-two sages of Confucius' disciples and Confucius' favorite pupil.

Translation:

Fang Lin asked what the ceremony was about. Confucius replied: "This is a big problem! As far as general etiquette is concerned, it is better to be frugal than luxury; As far as the funeral is concerned, it is better to express grief and condolences to the deceased than to handle it properly and completely at the ceremony. " ?

Confucius said, "It is better to die in summer than to have a monarch."

Follow, follow at once. Shuo Wen Jie Zi

Visit Mount Tai. The son said, "Can a woman save you?" Yes: "No" Confucius said: "Alas! I once said that Taishan is not as good as Fang Lin? "

Precautions:

Sacrificing Mount Tai is a ceremony for all emperors, but it is not in line with the ceremony to sacrifice Mount Tai to accompany his ministers. Confucius' disciples were officials under Ji. Later, he helped Ji accumulate wealth and plundered many people's fat. Confucius no longer recognized him as a disciple. For more information, please see "Advanced Eleven".

The Ji family is rich in the Duke of Zhou, and it also adds benefits for accumulation. Confucius said, "I am not a disciple. Boys can attack with drums. " '

Fang Lin, known as Qiu Zi, is famous for his politeness. I once asked Confucius about the origin of etiquette.

Translation:

Ji went to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices. Confucius asked You Ran, "Can't you dissuade him?" You Ran replied, "No." Confucius said, "Oh, isn't Mount Tai better than Fang Lin?" The God of Mount Tai will not accept unseemly sacrifices.

Confucius said, "A gentleman can defeat the enemy without fighting! Give up and drink. Its struggle is also a gentleman. "

Translation:

Confucius said, "A gentleman will not have any disputes with others. If there is any dispute, it must be a ritual skill such as archery! Gentlemen should bow to each other before archery, and then try their skills in class. After class, they should also congratulate each other by drinking. This skill competition is also a dispute between gentlemen. "

Xia Zi asked, "I am smart and smiling. I look forward to my beautiful eyes. I always thought it was gorgeous. " What is it? Confucius said, "Draw hindsight." Say, "After the ceremony?" Confucius said, "Poetry is enough for business."

Midsummer (before 507-? His surname is Bu, and he is a famous businessman. He was later called Mr. He Bu. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Jin (now wen county, Henan Province) warmed people (and said that he was closely related to Qian Mu, and the warmth was destroyed by Wei, and Wei was Wei's fault, so he gave birth to two). He is a famous disciple of Confucius and one of the "Ten Philosophers of Confucius".

translate

Xia Zi asked Confucius: "(The Book of Songs says:" A proper smile makes a girl more beautiful; Between the beautiful eyes, Su Yan is more beautiful and moving. What does this mean? "

Confucius replied: "First outline the general shape of the picture, supplemented by color, and then use plain powder to make the final comprehensive touch-up." Xia Zi realized a little and asked, "Behind the plain powder is structure and color, just as behind the ceremony is virtue, benevolence and righteousness." ? So is this code of conduct self-disciplined only after planting the seeds of benevolence, righteousness and morality in your heart? Confucius replied: it is the person who inspired me. From now on, I can talk about poetry with Xia Zi. "

This corresponds to Chapter 38 of Laozi's Tao Te Ching.

Those who treat their husbands with courtesy are loyal and trustworthy, and they are the first in chaos. Those who know before, the glory of the Tao, the beginning of stupidity. Therefore, a gentleman is thick but not thin; Actually, it is not in China. So shoot this somewhere else.

Tip:

Confucius said that "Wen Chao Dao" should correspond to Laozi's "Dao". That is, people's way of life, the prophet then corrected, practiced and persisted. If everyone can practice like this, it is to do nothing and do nothing.

Confucius said, "Li Xia, I can say it, but I can't prove it." Li Yin, what I can say is not enough in the Song Dynasty. Lack of literature. That's enough, then we can collect it. "

Confucius said: "I can tell the rites of the Xia Dynasty, but Qi (and his descendants) don't have enough data to prove my argument;" I can talk about the rituals of the Yin Dynasty, but (but its descendants) the Song State does not have enough information to prove my point. Due to the lack of historical materials, there is also a lack of sages who are familiar with Li Xia and Li Yin. If all the information is enough, I can confirm the political and religious civilization at that time. "
