Chapter 922: Straight and Tactful
"Mr. Ning Wuzi is a person, when the state management agency is normal, he appears to be smart, and when the state management agency is corrupt, he is like a fool. His kind of cleverness can be done by others, but! His kind of wisdom would not have been possible if others had fooled him. "Zengsando.
"What do you mean?" Lege tilted his ears sideways, looking like he didn't hear clearly.
Ning Wuzi: The surname is Ning Yu, the doctor of Weiguo, and "Wu" is his nickname.
Ning Wuzi is a well-behaved and well-behaved doctor. When the situation improved and was favorable to him, he gave full play to his wisdom and did his best to defend the country's politics. When the situation deteriorates against him, he retreats into the background or plays dumb everywhere. Confucius praised Ning Wuzi's approach. Protect yourself! Don't make unnecessary sacrifices!
Zhuangzi also said: "The surrounding is between the material and the non-material", the mantis arm blocks the car, and uses personal strength to block the torrent of consciousness, and the result will only be a senseless sacrifice!
Confucius was able to have such consciousness and awakening, so Le Ge was very surprised.
"How do I know?" Zeng Shen glanced at Le Ge, and then lowered his head. said: "I heard from the seniors that the gentleman did not sigh like this during his travels around the world. Opposite! His attitude is clear and accusatory! But later! After returning to the country of Lu, that is, in his old age, he praised it again! ”
"Hehehe!" Le Ge said with a smile: "This is the difference between your husband's thoughts, which shows that your husband's thinking has changed a lot, and he has become Taoist and realistic." ”
"This?" Zeng responded, without arguing.
"Don't you think that putting this text here is a bit inconsistent in your husband's doctrine? Is it a contradiction? Le Ge looked at Zeng Shen and asked.
"This?"
"That's it! Don't get bogged up! Read on! You shouldn't be so brainless! Read on, and I'll take a look at the rest of the story. ”
"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen explained: "I want to? We should show the thoughts of Mr. Wang's life, so that people can see the inheritance and change of Mr. Wang's thoughts from the Analects! ”
"Hmmm! Reasonable! Read on! ”
"Yes! Uncle Le! ”
Zizai Chen said: "Return! Return! The kid of our party is crazy and simple, and he has made a chapter, and I don't know why he cut it. ”
"What do you mean?" Lege asked.
Zeng Shen explained: "When traveling around the world, Mr. said in Chen Guo: Go back! Let's go back! The current Lu country is governed by Ji Kangzi, he needs you talents, those students from my hometown, they all have great ambitions, but unfortunately, their behavior is rough and simple; They have Wencai, but they don't know how to control themselves. ”
When Confucius said this, just as Lu Guoji Kangzi was in power, he wanted to summon Ran to go back to help with government affairs. So, Confucius said go back. He was happy about it; At the same time, he pointed out the problems that his students still have: they are rude and simple, and they don't know how to control themselves. He was very worried about something, afraid that good things would turn into bad things.
"Your husband may have realized that his early students were too rigid and idealistic. So! He worries that these students can't integrate with real life and can't adapt to real life. Lege sighed.
Zeng Shen responded: "Maybe! Sir has traveled around the world for so many years and experienced so many things, he has come out of idealism and seen reality clearly. So! He was worried: this good opportunity would repeat the mistakes of the past and follow his old path! ”
"Hmmm! Good! Le Ge nodded and said, "Keep reading!" ”
Zi said: "Uncle Bo Yi doesn't remember the old evil, and the resentment is with Xi." ”
"What do you mean?" Lege asked.
Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said that Boyi and Shuqi treated them with disgust and opposition, and after expressing their attitude and position, they did not mention it again. But! Their attitude and stance are consistent and unchanging. Therefore, others think that they have no resentment, so there is less resentment towards them. ”
"What do you mean?"
Boyi and Shuqi were the two sons of Guzhujun in the last years of the Yin Dynasty. After their father's death, the two abdicated each other, and both fled to King Wen of Zhou. Later, they resented the tyrannical rule of the Shang kings. King Wu of Zhou raised an army to attack the emperor, and they thought that this was an act of disloyalty and filial piety to kill the king with his ministers, and they stopped it. After the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty and unified the world, they were ashamed of eating the grain of the Zhou Dynasty, fled into the mountains to feed their hunger with wild grass, and starved to death in Shouyang Mountain.
Zeng Shen further explained: "It is very important for a person to be consistent on the outside and on the outside! Here, Mr. (Confucius) mainly talks about Bo Yi Shuqi's 'not remembering the old evil': the way to deal with hatred and resentment. The purpose of telling this story is to illustrate what kind of behavior and attitude will be taken, and what kind of results will be brought about. But! The attitude of the heart is the most important thing! It doesn't matter what kind of behavior we take, how we manifest it. The attitude of the heart is fundamental! Bo Yi and Shu Qi are consistent in their behavior and attitude! ”
"Oh?"
"Uncle Le! Reading this paragraph should be understood in context, not in a separate paragraph! Zeng Shen reminded.
"Hmmm! Good! Read on! Le Ge replied.
"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen agreed, and continued to read.
Zi said: "What does it mean to be micro-born and straight? or beggar, begging for his neighbor and begging with him. ”
"What do you mean?" Lege asked.
Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: Who said that Weishenggao is straightforward? I think he has a tactful side to him. For example, if someone asks him for some vinegar, he does not directly say that he does not have it, but says that he has. Secretly, he went to a neighbor's house and begged for something. ”
"Who is Wei Shenggao?" Lege asked.
Zeng Shen replied: "Weisheng Gao: The surname is Weisheng Gao." Lu people, people at that time thought he was straightforward. ”
"Oh?"
Wei Shenggao begged for vinegar from the neighbor's house to the person who came to beg for vinegar, and he didn't say that he didn't have it, and in this regard, Mr. thought he was not straightforward, and felt that this person still had a tactful side. Helping others is considered 'straight', and helping indirectly should be regarded as tactful! Helping people is the goal, and indirectly it is also for helping, and it cannot be considered as the hypocrisy of a person! ”
"Hmmm! Good! Read on! ”
"Yes! Uncle Le! ”
Zi said: "Clever words make you respectful, Zuoqiu is ashamed, and Qiu is also ashamed." Hide grievances and make friends with others, Zuoqiu is ashamed, and Qiu is also ashamed. ”
"What do you mean?"
Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: Use nice words, pretend to be good-looking, put on a welcoming posture, be overly respectful to some people, and treat most people with the opposite attitude. Zuo Qiu Ming thinks this kind of person makes people laugh, and I also think this kind of person makes people laugh. There is also such a kind of person, usually, when meeting with the resentful family, they keep the resentment in their hearts, but they pretend to be friendly on the surface. Zuo Qiu Ming thinks this kind of person makes people laugh, and I also think it makes people laugh. ”
