Chapter 950 does not sit upright

"Uncle Le? You? Zeng saw that the music was abnormal, and asked puzzledly.

"Read on?"

"Uncle Le? Am I misinterpreting? ”

"Hehehe! You tell me? Le Ge asked rhetorically.

"Me?" Zeng Shen nodded and said: "The most direct interpretation is this meaning, but!" If you dig deeper, that's not exactly what it means! Uncle Le! ”

"Don't take it at face value! Zengzi! Find out why! Why can't you speak! Le Ge said.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen explained at a deep level: "Mr. said! Eating silently means: don't talk idle when eating, concentrate on eating, and chew slowly. The language here refers to idle talk, talking about things that are not boundary, eating is eating, not idle talking. ”

"So? What about sleeping? Le Ge asked.

Zeng Shen explained: "Yan: the meaning of speech. Other words! When you go to bed at night, don't argue about things that can't be solved for a while, so as not to affect the quality of sleep! ”

"Hmmm! That's right! Lege laughed. If you don't make it clear, it's easy to misunderstand. Oh, yes! Why can't I talk when I eat or sleep? Are we human? Where can you not speak? Isn't it? You can't be convinced until you tell the reason. ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! I was wrong! ”

"That is to say! You can talk when you eat, and you can talk when you sleep! It's just that! Don't talk idle when you talk, and don't argue when you sleep. ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! I was wrong! ”

"Good! Read on! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Although the vegetable soup is sparsely eaten, the melon sacrifice will be the same.

"What do you mean?"

Zeng Shen explained: "Even if it is coarse rice and vegetable soup, before eating, take out some of it to worship the ancestors, and the expression should be as serious and respectful as when fasting. ”

"Hehehe!"

"Mr. said: Before eating, we must worship our ancestors, and do not forget the life that our ancestors gave us and the nurturing grace of our parents."

"It's too cumbersome!"

"Yes! Uncle Le! "I have responded to the Dao." The gentleman said, "Let us develop a habit and make the sacrifice a ritual!" ”

"But it's easy to get a formality!" Le Ge said.

Zeng Shen argued: "Sir said! Even if it's just a formality, do it. ”

"When formality is achieved, the wise give up. The wise gave up, and others followed suit. So! It doesn't make sense! Therefore! It doesn't have to be done. ”

"That?" Zeng Shen asked, "Could there be a better way?" ”

Le Ge thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to sacrifice once in a while, or in special cases, to sacrifice a little." ”

"What are occasional, exceptional circumstances?" Zeng Shen asked.

"That is!" Lege thought for a moment and explained, "For example! When we see someone else living a difficult life, or if we think of a dead elder or something, let's sacrifice it. That's it: sacrifice once in a while. ”

"So? What are special cases? Zeng Shen continued to ask.

"For example! When the deceased's anniversary, memorial day, birthday, or anything is commemorative, it is okay to make sacrifices! If it's just formalism, it's no fun! ”

"Oh?" Zeng responded.

"Read on!"

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said. Fire extinguished

If the seat is not right, do not sit.

"What do you mean?" Le Ge looked at Zeng Shen and said with a smile: "Your husband has so many rules!" OK! I didn't talk to him for long. Otherwise! I'm going to be! ”

"Then you'll off Mr. too!" Zeng Shen looked at Le Ge and said very seriously.

"Yes!" Le Ge shook his head and admitted with a wry smile.

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: If the mat is not placed properly, don't sit, sit down again when it is correct." ”

"Why?"

Zeng Shen explained: "There are no rules, there is no circle! Be sure to pay attention to the details, start with the details! Furthermore! If the mat is not properly placed, it is not only a sign that the host is not serious, but also an impolite to you! So! You can't sit, you must sit back upright. And also! If you sit, it's disrespectful to others. Maybe? What if others didn't notice these details? Isn't it? ”

"Maybe someone else did this on purpose to embarrass you!" Le Ge said.

"Hmm!" Zeng Shen said: "So! 'If the seat is not right, do not sit'. Wait until the next person has straightened their seats, and then sit down. ”

"Sometimes! Others deliberately did this and did not put the seats right. If you sit down, maybe the master will find fault and kill the next person, making you embarrassed and embarrassed. ”

"Yes!" Zeng Shen said: "So! 'If the seat is not right, do not sit'. ”

"But when your husband said this, he was mainly from Zhou Li's point of view, right? It's not the angle of your fight in social reality! He often looks at problems superficially, very dogmatically! Le Ge said.

"Uncle Le?" I listened to it, but I was very dissatisfied.

In fact! Confucius said this sentence from the perspective of etiquette: "If the seat is not right, you will not sit". And not from a deceitful point of view. Zeng Shen put this sentence here, and he also considered it from the perspective of Zhou Li and the image of Confucius. Confucius usually behaved according to these standards.

The villagers drink, and the rod comes out.

"What do you mean?"

Zeng Shen explained: "After the etiquette of folk drinking is over, let the elderly and elders go out first, and when the elderly go out, they will go out by themselves, and do not compete with the elderly and elders." ”

"Hmmm! Very good! This is the basic etiquette of being a human being! Le Ge said.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen replied: "But! A lot of people don't know. Especially the little babies, who run the fastest and can trip the elderly! Alas! ”

"You put this text here, not only to write about your husband Confucius, but also to remind the world and future generations, right?"

"Yes! Uncle Le! These are the basic etiquette of being a human being, and they are also polite and respectful to others! Zeng Shen said.

"Good! Read on! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

The villagers are in court and stand on the steps.

"What do you mean?"

Zeng Shen explained: "When the countrymen hold a religious ceremony to welcome the gods and exorcise ghosts, Mr. always stands on the east steps in court clothes. ”

"Why?" Lege asked puzzled.

Zeng Shen further explained: "It's a welcome to others! It's courtesy! ”

"Oh?" I still didn't understand the song.

Zeng Shen said: "阼steps: 阼 (pronounced zuò), the steps on the east side. The host stands on the east steps of the lobby and welcomes guests here. ”

"Oh?" Lege nodded as if he didn't understand. Then he said, "Read on." ”

It's true! There are too many rules of Confucius, and there are too many rules to restrain oneself. No wonder! Kong Li said he couldn't stand it!

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Ask someone in another country, and then bow down and send it away.

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.
