Chapter 921 It's Not Good to Think Too Much
"Read again! Read on! Lege urged.
"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen hurriedly agreed.
Zi said: "Zang Wen Zhongju Cai, the mountains are full of algae, how can he know it!" β
"What do you mean?" Le Ge's brows furrowed, he really didn't understand this passage yet.
Zeng Shen explained: "Uncle Le! This is the meaning: Mr. said: Zang Wenzhong hid a big turtle for divination, and the house where the turtle was hidden was decorated with the style of the Temple of the Son of Heaven. The bucket arch is carved into the shape of a mountain, and the short pillar is painted with a pattern of aquatic plants. How can he be considered a wise person if he would do this despite the rules of Zhou Li? β
"Who is Zang Wenzhong?" Lege asked.
Zeng Shen said: "Zang Wenzhong: The surname is Zang Sun Mingchen, and 'Wen' is his nickname. β
"What does Ju Cai mean?" Lege asked puzzled.
Zeng Shen explained: "Cai is a place where turtles are produced, so the big turtle is called Cai. Cai: The big turtle used by the monarch for divination. Ju Cai: That is, the place where the big turtles are raised. β
"Oh?" Le Ge said dissatisfiedly, "Can you make your words clearer?" Isn't it hard to understand when you say that? β
"This?" Zeng Shen scratched his scalp and said: "Written documents are expressed in this way, only in this way can the writing be concise?" β
"Then people have to be able to understand it, huh?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zeng Shen had no choice but to respond: "I'll pay attention to it in the future!" β
said so, but Zeng Shen still had complaints in his heart. I thought: Isn't that very understandable? What do you want so much crap for? I don't seem to understand.
Zang Wenzhong was known as a "wise man" at the time, and Confucius considered his practice to be "transgressive". So, blame him.
"Read on!"
"Yes! Uncle Le! β
Zizhang asked: "Ling Yin Ziwen Sanshi is Ling Yin, and there is no joy; Three have been, no sorrow. The government of the old order Yin will be told to the new order Yin. How? Zi said: "Loyal." He said, "Benevolence? He said, "Unknown." Yan Deren? β
"Cui Zi killed Qi Jun, Chen Ziwen had ten horses, and he abandoned it, and as for other states, he said: 'Doctor Cui Ziye.' Violation. One of the states said: 'Judah Doctor Cui Ziye.' 'What if it is not?' Zi said: "Clear." He said, "Benevolence? He said, "Unknown, how can you be benevolent?" β
"So long? This paragraph? Le Ge asked.
"Yes!"
"What do you mean?"
Zeng Shen then explained: "Mr. Zizhang Wen said: Ling Yin Ziwen has been the prime minister of Chu several times, but he has not shown a happy appearance, and he has been dismissed several times, and he has not shown resentment. Every time he was dismissed, he must hand over all his political affairs to the new prime minister who came to take over. What do you think of this person? The gentleman replied, "You can be regarded as loyal." Zizhang asked again: Is it benevolent? The gentleman said, "I don't know!" Loyalty is only one aspect of benevolence, how can we know if this person has benevolence or not?
Zizhang asked again: Cui Zhu killed his monarch Qi Zhuang Gong, and Chen Wenzi's doctor, Chen Wenzi, gave up all forty horses in his family, and he left Qi State. When he went to another country, he said, the ruler here is also similar to Cui Zi, the doctor of our Qi country. He left again. When he arrived in another country, he said that the rulers here are similar to our doctors, Cui Zi. He chose to leave again. What do you think of this person? The gentleman said: It can be regarded as a clear high. Zizhang said: Is it benevolent? Confucius said: I don't know! Pure and high is only one aspect of benevolence, how can we know whether this person has benevolence or not? β
"Oh?" Le Ge responded: "This paragraph is about benevolence, right?" On the surface, it is evaluating a person, but in fact, it is saying what 'benevolence' is. β
"Yes!" Zeng Shen Dao.
"So? What is benevolence? Le Ge asked.
Zeng Shen had no choice but to reply: "It can be seen from this passage that Mr. said two aspects of benevolence. One! Loyalty is only one aspect of benevolence. 2. Pure and high is only one aspect of benevolence. β
"Oh?" Le Ge answered, and then asked, "Who is Ling Yin Ziwen?" β
Zeng Shen said: "Ling Yin: The official name of Chu State is equivalent to the prime minister. Ziwen: He is the famous prime minister of the Chu State. β
"So? Who is Cui Wen? β
Zeng Shen said: "Cui Wen: Qi State Doctor Cui ζΌ (pronounced zhΓΉ)." β
"Who is Qi Jun referring to?"
Zeng Shen said: "Qi Jun: refers to the Duke of Qi Zhuang who was killed by Cui Zhu. β
"Who is Chen Wenzi?"
Zeng Shen said: "Chen Wenzi: Chen Guo's doctor, his name must be absent." β
"Oh?"
Zeng Shen explained: "Ling Yin Ziwen and Chen Wenzi, one is loyal to the monarch, and it is loyal; One who does not work with rebels is considered to be high. Mr. believes that loyalty, nobility and benevolence are not the same thing. Loyalty is only one aspect of benevolence, and Qing is the spirit of dedication to the maintenance of rituals, which is also only one aspect of benevolence. Therefore, just by having loyalty and purity, you still can't see the whole picture of Qingren. β
"Oh?" Le Ge responded: "Your husband's benevolence, there are still a lot of famous halls in it!" It's a tongue-twister! Read on! β
"Yes! Uncle Le! β
Ji Wenzi thought twice before acting. When Zi heard it, he said: "Again, Si Keyi." β
"What do you mean?" Lege asked.
Zeng Shen explained: "Ji Wenzi has to think about every thing he does many times. The gentleman heard it and said: Ji Wenzi is too cautious and has too many concerns. People like him who think twice can make a decision. If you think too much about it, all sorts of ills will occur. β
"Huh! Is it bad for people to think too much? Lege laughed.
"It's too much!" Zeng Shen Dao.
Ji Wenzi: That is, Ji Sun Xing's father, Lu Chenggong and Lu Xianggong were Zhengqing at the time, and "Wen" was his nickname.
Ji Wenzi's son Ji Sun Su (Ji Wuzi), who later was Ji Mourning (Ji Sun Su), died before being a king. followed by Ji Pingzi (Ji Sun Yiru), Ji Hengzi (Ji Sun Si), and Ji Kangzi (Ji Sun Fei).
Thinking twice about everything, there are generally more advantages and fewer disadvantages, why did Confucius not agree with Ji Wenzi's approach after hearing about it? Confucius analyzed that Ji Wenzi was too cautious and had too many concerns. People like him who think twice can make a decision. If you think too much about it, all sorts of ills will occur. This is just a suggestion for someone like Ji Wenzi's way of thinking! Suggestions made on a person-by-case basis are not incontemporary.
Zi said: "Ning Wuzi, if the state has a way, it will know, and if the state has no way, it will be foolish, and its knowledge can be reached, and its foolishness cannot be reached." β
"What do you mean?" Lege asked, "How did it transfer to the aristocratic power?" Isn't it judging you students? β
"Uncle Le!" Zeng Shen explained: "This article is not only written to evaluate our students, but also to evaluate some people and things, from students to outsiders, and then to political figures!" Uncle Le! β
"Oh?" Lege nodded and said, "You interpret it!" β
"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.
