Chapter 920 is shameless to ask

Zi said: "I have not seen the Gang. Or say, "Shen Fang." Zi said: "You also want it, how can you be strong?" ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: I have never seen a strong and unyielding person. Someone replied: Your student Shen Feng is a strong and unyielding person. Mr. said: If a person desires too much, he can't be strong and unyielding! He will only give in to himself in the face of desire! Shen Fang has too many desires, how can he be strong? ”

"Who is Shen Fang?" Lege asked.

"The surname is Shen Ming, the word Zhou, Mr.'s student!"

Confucius believed that if a person desires too much, he will not be strong and unyielding, and will only yield himself in the face of desire!

"Read on!"

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Zigong said: "I don't want others to inflict on me, and I don't want to inflict on others." The son said: "Give it, and it is beyond your reach." ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Shen explained: "Zigong said: I don't want others to force his will on me, force me to be. I also don't want to force my will on others and ask others how to do what they want. Confucius said, "Zigong, it's good to understand this truth." But! You'd be hard-pressed to do that. ”

"Why?" Le Ge asked, "Why did Confucius say that Zigong couldn't do it?" ”

"This?"

Seeing that Zeng Shen was inconvenient to say or couldn't say it, Le Ge smiled: "Because! Zigong is a businessman. The businessman has a lot of helplessness, so he may not be able to do it. For the sake of profit or other interests, he could not do it himself. In fact! This is true not only for businessmen, but also for everyone, there are too many helplessness in life, and we can't keep it the same! Always maintain your own attitude and position. Of course! If they are not afraid of death and don't want to live, they can do so. ”

"This?"

"Your sir saw this, so! only to say that Zigong can't do it! ”

"Read on!"

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Zigong said: "Master's article can be obtained and heard; The words of the master and the way of heaven cannot be obtained and heard. ”

"Hehehe! Zigong is a sycophant! This sycophant shoot! Lege laughed.

Zeng Shen smiled bitterly and explained: "Zigong said: The knowledge of etiquette, music, poetry, and books taught by the teacher can be experienced by hearing and seeing; However, the knowledge and theories about the moral cultivation of human nature taught by the teacher cannot be experienced through hearing and seeing. It is necessary to comprehend with the heart, and to have the spirituality to draw inferences from others. ”

"On the surface, it's a sycophant, and it's a sycophant. But if you think about it, it makes sense. So! Zigong can mix! This sycophant is just right! Lege laughed.

I have to say that Zigong's sycophants are in place.

Zeng Shen said: "In Zigong's view, the specific knowledge such as etiquette, music, poetry, and books that Mr. talked about is tangible, and you can learn it by hearing it. However, theories about human nature and the way of heaven are profound and mysterious, and they cannot be learned by hearing, but can only be grasped by engaging in inner experience. ”

"Hmm!" Le Ge nodded and snorted, and said, "Keep reading!" ”

Zilu has heard of it, but it can't be done, but I am afraid of hearing it.

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Shen explained: "After Zilu heard a truth, he was in a hurry to practice it. But he still didn't put it into practice immediately, for fear that he didn't hear more new truths. ”

"Hehehe! Are you all laughing at your stupidity? Or is it the studious spirit of Zilu? Lege laughed.

"Nope! Uncle Le! I don't mean to belittle Zilu! It's a fact! Zilu is very studious, and since he followed Mr., he has been working hard to change himself! It's a fact! ”

"Zilu was born as an Orion, hot-tempered, and wild. Since following Confucius, he also wants to be a sensible and cultural person! So! He works harder than anyone else! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said: "I heard my father say that in the school before, my father was a scholar. But since Zilu came, he has been a scholar and has suppressed my father! ”

"Hahaha!" Le Ge listened and laughed.

Zeng Shen continued to read the Analects:

Zigong asked: "Why does Confucius call it Wenye?" Zi said: "Sensitive and studious, not ashamed to ask, is to say the text." ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Shen replied: "Zigong asked: Why did you give the patriotic doctor Kong Yu the nickname of 'Wen'? Confucius said: Confucius was intelligent, diligent and studious, and he was not ashamed to ask for advice from people of inferior status, so he gave him the nickname 'Wen'. Call him Kong Wenzi! ”

"Oh?" The song answered. Then he asked: "Since 'rotten wood cannot be carved', all these things you have arranged are talking about learning!" Isn't it? ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

"Good!"

"Thank you, Uncle Le!"

Kong Wenzi: Wei Guo Dafu Kong 圉 (pronounced yǔ), "Wen" is a nickname.

Confucius advocated the learning attitude of "not being ashamed to ask questions", which had a profound impact on later generations.

The son is said to have four ways of a gentleman: "He is respectful in his deeds, respectful in his affairs, beneficial in his support, and righteous in his people." ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. commented on Zichan in this way, saying: Zichan has four morals of a gentleman: first, he behaves solemnly and gives people a good first impression; 2. He serves the monarch respectfully, understands the way of the monarch and ministers, is neither humble nor arrogant, and is loyal to the monarch; 3. He preserves the people and is kind to them. Civil security can be Cathay; 4. He administers the affairs of the people in a lawful manner, is impartial, and does not take sides. ”

"Good!" The song answered.

Child: surname Gongsun Mingqiao, the word child, Dr. Zheng Guo. He has been a Zhengqing, the grandson of Zheng Mugong, and the minister of Zheng Guo.

Zi Chuan ruled for 22 years during the reign of Zheng Jiangong and Zheng Dinggong, and was an outstanding politician and diplomat in ancient China.

"Uncle Le! Is it okay for me to do this? Zeng Shen asked.

"Hmm!" Lege nodded.

Zeng Shen said: "Mr. is not only talking about the way of a gentleman, but also the way of government. We first learn to be a person and do things, and then learn the 'way of government'. Uncle Le! I'm so choreographed, is that okay? ”

"Hmmm! Good! Very good! Read on! Lege waved his arms excitedly.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Uncle Loeb did not raise any objections, stating that what had been done before was too much. So! Zeng Shen was also very happy.

Zi said: "Yan Ping Zhongshan is good at making friends with people, and he respects him for a long time." ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: Yan Ying is good at making friends with people, and the longer you know each other, the more others will respect him. ”

"Hehehe!" Le Ge smiled: "Have you arranged from the way of politics to the way of making friends?" ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said: "I already said it before, didn't I?" This content is not only about Mr. evaluating students and others, but also teaching us to behave, do things, make friends, and so on! ”

"Good!" Le Ge praised.
