Zi said: "How can you use courtesy for the country? You can't be a country with comity, so what is courtesy? ”

"This? It's been interpreted before! You read it again! Le Ge stretched out his hand and gestured and said.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: Take courtesy as the constitution of the country, and use it to restrain and regulate people's behavior, so who will not talk about 'etiquette'?" If we don't regard courtesy as the constitution of the country, and don't restrain and regulate people's behavior, how many people still know how to be 'courteous'? ”

"Read on!"

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Zi said: "If you don't suffer from no position, you will stand if you suffer; Don't suffer from self-knowledge, seek to know. ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: I am not afraid that I will not have the opportunity to display my talents, but I am afraid that I have not learned the skills that I can rely on. I am not afraid that no one will know about me, I just want to be able to become a person who has real talent and is worthy of being known. ”

"The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, that's what it means! First of all! You have to have real talent and real learning, and then you have a chance! This is the time to persuade us to be at a low point in life, not to rush, and to wait patiently! This sentence is understood separately, there is nothing wrong with it, good! Le Ge replied.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen replied: "This is what the gentleman often teaches us!" Said more than once! It is hoped that we will base ourselves on the cultivation of our own knowledge, accomplishment, and talents, and possess all aspects of quality that are sufficient to be competent for official positions. ”

"Hmmm! Good! But! It's not just about being an official, right? In any case, we must have a certain talent, not only the talent of being an official! Craftsmanship is also possible, huh? Is it okay to have a skill? Isn't it? ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! ”

"Keep reading!"

"Yes!" Zeng replied and continued to read the Analects of Confucius, which he had arranged.

Zi said: "See, my way is consistent." Zeng Zi said: "Only." When the son went out, the doorman asked, "What do you mean?" Zeng Zi said: "The way of the master is only loyalty and forgiveness." ”

"Hehehe!" Le Ge smiled: "You're putting gold on your face again!" Zengzi? ”

"Don't dare! Whining! Zeng Shen said: "The need for context is only! Uncle Le! ”

"Explain it specifically? What do you mean? In the vernacular! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: "See, the theory I am talking about, the theory I am promoting, is based on a basic point. If you understand this basic point, you will understand everything! I said, "Yes." After my husband went out, my classmates asked me, "What does this mean?" I said, "The way of the teacher is to be faithful and forgiving." Loyalty is the fundamental starting point! If you understand the word 'loyalty', you will understand the intention of the gentleman! ”

"Oh?" Le Ge nodded and said, "This sentence is a bit clueless, if you don't interpret it?" I really don't understand what that means? Good! ”

What he means is that his doctrine and ideas are consistent, clear and unchanging, and have always been the same! What was it he asked me? I say the word 'loyalty'. Outcome! Sir is very satisfied! ”

"It means that you really understand what your husband means!"

"Where?" Zeng Shen said modestly: "Mr. said! Yan Hui already understood! ”

"You can't compare with Yan Hui, Yan Hui is your senior, he has been following Confucius for a long time, much earlier than you. So! It's normal for him to understand first. And you! You were still young, right? The fact that you can understand your husband's doctrine and ideas at such a young age shows that you are just as remarkable! ”

"Thank you, Uncle Le! I'll try! Zeng Shen replied.

"Read on!"

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Zi said: "The gentleman is righteous, and the villain is profitable." ”

"What do you mean?"

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: A gentleman understands the benefits of righteousness, and it is righteousness to get along with others. The villain only knows the benefits of profit, and gets along with others to put profit first. ”

The difference between a gentleman and a villain! A gentleman puts righteousness first, and the first thing to consider is others, which shows the mind of a gentleman. The villain is profit-oriented, and the first thing to consider is himself! It can be seen that the villain is selfish.

"This is talking about the superficial phenomena of things, not about the fundamentals!" The song answered.

"Uncle Le!" Zeng Shen was a little unconvinced.

Le Ge smiled and said, "Why is there a difference between a gentleman and a villain? Your husband didn't say it! Why be a gentleman? Did your husband make it clear? Why are there villains? Did your husband make it clear? ”

"Make it clear! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

"Didn't make it clear!" Le Ge looked at Zeng Shen and said: "Life is just to live, how to live, how to let yourself live, is the fundamental!" So! Your husband didn't make it clear, he didn't interpret the gentleman from the perspective of living and surviving, why should he be a gentleman? Why are there hypocrites? Why are there hypocrites? Not yet? People are also trying to live better! Alas! Do not say! If you talk too much, you have to raise the bar! ”

"Uncle Le!" Zeng Shen wanted to argue again.

"About the villain! In fact, there is no need to explain it, it's just to live, to survive! So! Your husband did not explain this to you clearly. What he said was superficial, not to the roots! I'm telling you! ”

"Uncle Le!"

"I tell you! Everyone is just to live, there is no distinction between a gentleman and a villain! There is no distinction between high and low! It's all just to live! Do you understand? Do not say! Read on to your arrangement of the Analects! ”

Le Ge was afraid that Zeng Shen would be entangled, so he quickly stretched out his hand and signaled.

Zi said: "See the virtuous and think together, and see the unvirtuous and introspect yourself." ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: When you see a virtuous person, you should learn from him and keep up with him. When you see someone who is not virtuous, you should reflect on yourself whether you have made a mistake similar to him. If there is a mistake to correct it, there is no mistake to encourage! Take this as a lesson! ”

"Hmmm! Very good! Le Ge responded: "So say! Your husband is just learning to think and cultivating morality. ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! ”

"Your sir's doctrine and thought are the needs of society, the needs of mankind. But! Not suitable for all environments. For example! In troubled times, the purpose should be survival. Let yourself live is the last word! What other virtues do you cultivate? You're going to starve to death sooner or later!

I've argued with you before that how we let ourselves live has nothing to do with whether we have moral character or not. It's not that if you let yourself live, you will do things that are not virtuous, don't understand it that way!

That's how you used to argue with me. Say! We must not lose our character by allowing ourselves to survive. You don't have to do things that are immoral to survive? It's not to do evil, right? Isn't it? Can we understand things without bias? Isn't it? ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! We've argued before! I was wrong! I already know it's wrong! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen admitted.

"Good!" Le Ge nodded in satisfaction.
