Le Ge and Zeng Shen rested for a while, and then continued to read the Analects.

"What's next in the story?" Lege asked.

Zeng Shen hurriedly picked up the bamboo slips and looked at them. And then! Both hands were handed to Lege.

Lege didn't answer, and waved his hand and refused.

"Say it! I'm too lazy to watch! Hurry! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said: "This article is written about 'the foundation of being a man'!" ”

"Oh?" The song answered.

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. thinks: the foundation of being a man is to learn etiquette and music first!" Only by learning etiquette and music can you know how to be a man. Only by learning etiquette and music first, can you become an official! ”

"Oh?"

"Mr. also gave an example: For example, his students all learned etiquette and music, and as a result, they all became officials!"

"Oh?" Lege answered again. Then he asked, "So?" The name of this article should be 'The Fundamentals of Being a Man'? ”

"It's not! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said: "This article is called 'advanced chapter'!" Uncle Le! ”

"Hmmm! Got it! Let's start reading! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Zi said: "Advanced in Lile, savages also; After entering the courtesy, the gentleman also. If you use it, then I will be advanced. ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked habitually.

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: Those who first learn etiquette and music and then become officials, most of them are civilians who did not have a knighthood, and they only embarked on a career by learning etiquette and music and other knowledge; Those who first became officials and then went to learn etiquette and music, they were all the children of the wealthy officials of the hereditary lords. If we want to give priority to hiring talents, I would like to give priority to those who have learned about etiquette and music first. ”

"Hehehe!" Le Ge smiled: "It's so direct! Straight to the point? ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Straight to the point! It's a good start! Zeng Shen said.

"Hmmm! Good! Le Ge replied.

Zeng Shen further explained: "Sir, this thinks: those who became officials first, that is, those who originally had knights, before becoming officials, most of them did not receive systematic education in the knowledge of etiquette and music, and did not know how to be officials. Even if he becomes an official, such a person is incompetent. And those commoners who did not have a knighthood in the first place, they had already learned the knowledge of etiquette and music comprehensively and systematically before becoming officials, and then they knew how to be an official and how to be a good official. ”

"Your husband is looking for opportunities for you students! Hehehe! Lege laughed.

"Uncle Le!" Zeng Shen argued: "Sir is telling the truth! Those hereditary nobles, most of them have no real talent and real learning, and they can't be officials! ”

"Good, good! We don't lift the bar! Read on! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Zi said: "From me to Chen and Cai, they are not as good as the door." ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: The students who used to follow me from Chen Guo to Cai Di are no longer taught by my side. ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked again.

Zeng Shen explained: "What Mr. means is: most of these students have gone to become officials, and everyone else has also found good jobs!" ”

"Blow it! You sir! Hey! ”

"Where's the blow? It's true! Zeng Shen argued: "What my husband means is that those who follow him to learn the music of etiquette will be able to find good jobs!" That's what it means! Uncle Le! 22 Literary Network

"Oh?" Lege nodded.

Zeng Shen sighed: "Mr. and his students went from Chen Guo to Caidi, and on the way they were surrounded by Chen Guoren, starved of food for 7 days, and many seniors were so hungry that they could not walk. The students who followed him at that time included Zilu, Zigong, Yan Yuan and others. After Mr. returned to China, Zilu, Zigong and others left him one after another. So, Mr. misses them all the time. ”

"Oh?" Le Ge nodded again and said, "Keep reading!" ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Virtue: Yan Yuan, Min Ziqian, Ran Boniu, Zhonggong. Words: Zai me, Zigong. Political affairs: Ran You, Ji Lu. Literature: Zi You, Zi Xia.

"What do you mean? Rate them? Haven't you reviewed it once before? Le Ge asked.

In the previous chapters of the Analects, there seems to be an essay that evaluates students. So! Lege asks why.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said: "It was evaluated before, but the content is different!" Uncle Le! ”

"Oh? Interpret it! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said: "Mr. said: Among my students, there are good virtues: Yan Yuan, Min Ziqian, Ran Boniu, and Zhong Gong. Those who are good at rhetoric are: Zai me, Zigong. Those who are good at political affairs are: Ran You and Ji Lu. Those who are proficient in literature knowledge are: Ziyou and Zixia. ”

"Oh?"

Zeng Shen further explained: "The evaluation here is different from the previous evaluation, and the evaluation here is mainly considered from the value role. Other words! What kind of people have these seniors become after being educated by Mr. Lile here? ”

"What kind of person has become?"

"Become a person who can be an official, do things, and take responsibility! Uncle Le! I have arranged these contents here with this intention: after the etiquette and education of Mr., the seniors have become useful people! Became a talent! That's what it means! ”

"Oh! Very good! Lege nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Thank you Uncle Le! ”

"Good! Read on! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Zi said: "Hui is not the one who helps me, Yu Wu says everything." ”

"What do you mean?"

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: Yan Hui did not intend to flatter me or help me, from what he said to me, we can know that he has never accepted what I said unconvinced. ”

"What do you mean?" Le Ge's brow furrowed and asked.

Zeng Shen further explained: "Yan Hui was obedient and respectful in front of Mr., and he was convinced and fully accepted by Mr. Therefore, Mr. praised Yan Hui many times. Mr. thinks that Yan Hui is not flattering him or flattering him, but really believing in him. So! The gentleman was very proud and impressed. ”

"Oh?" Le Ge asked puzzledly, "Why do you say that about Yan Hui?" Other words! Why did you arrange this sentence here? What is the purpose? ”

Zeng Shen smiled bitterly and said, "It means: I believe that Mr.'s words are not wrong." As long as we all believe in Mr. 's words and practice life, our life will have a good result! And also! Human society will be better! ”

"Oh? That's what it means! Lege nodded.

"It's a pity! Yan Hui died early! Zeng Shen's expression changed and he became sad.

"Alas! There is no way! Read on! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng responded.

Zi said: "Filial piety Min Ziqian! People are not inferior to the words of their parents. ”

"Why did it get to Min Ziqian's body again?" Lege asked puzzled.

Zeng Shen explained: "It's the same as saying Yan Hui, which means: There is nothing wrong with listening to Mr. As long as we all believe in Mr. 's words and practice life, our life will have a good result! And also! Human society will be better! ”
