"Uncle Le! How is that possible? Zeng Shen argued.

"How could it be?" Lege asked.

"If we adopt the method of people's autonomy and regional autonomy, will there still be a state?" He testified.

"What is the difference between territorial autonomy and national autonomy? Zengzi? You're dogmatic again! So! What your husband Confucius thought was Shun's inaction, that is impossible? Isn't it? So! Why did you include it in your Analects? ”

"This?" I couldn't answer.

"You and your husband Confucius in his later years are both virtuous, that is, they do not accept other people's theories, but insist on their own theories, reject others, and engage in family opinions. As Kong Li said: Only his father said it, no one else said it, what he said was right. It doesn't matter if what others say is right or wrong: what his father says is right is right, and what he says is wrong must be wrong. One family's words, exclusivity! ”

"Uncle Le! You? You're serious! ”

"You can't get along with this? You must come up with your husband's doctrine and ideological theory, Taoist doctrine and thought, and Mohist doctrine and thought? Wait a minute? Can't you get along? You? Alas! Lao Tzu has long said that no matter what doctrine and thought you have, if you want to pass it down and have someone follow it, there is one thing in common! As your husband said: Consistently! ”

"What do the various doctrines and ideas have in common? With what is consistent? Zeng Shen asked.

"That is: it's all just to live. Any kind of doctrine and thought is just for the sake of living, for oneself to live, for one's family to live, and for others to live. Alive! It's the consistent truth! ”

"This?"

"Isn't it?"

"Uncle Le! You have a point! I was wrong! I'm sorry! Zeng Shen said, lowering his head.

"It's like this all the time! Obviously what others say makes sense, but you just don't want to accept it! It's obviously a Taoist doctrine and ideology, and it's right, but you and your husband just don't accept it. Opposite! Once you accept it, it will immediately become your husband's doctrine and ideological theory, and it will immediately become your husband's doctrine and ideological theory! Isn't it? Zeng Shen! Isn't it? For example, just now, the topic and theory of inaction rule, isn't it? Obviously it was proposed by the Taoist Lao Tzu. But! You don't accept it. And after your husband put it forward, you will treat it as a treasure, and it will become your husband's doctrine and ideological theory. And when I mention that it is a Taoist doctrine and theoretical idea and explain it, you immediately retort: How is that possible? ……”

"I was wrong! Uncle Le! Whining! ”

"I tell you! Zeng Shen! If you don't change this way of thinking of yours, you won't be able to do well in the world of thought! You! You can only arrange your husband's Analects, and you will not have your own doctrine and ideology! You? Other words! You won't be able to make a difference! You will always be a student of Confucius, not yourself! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Thank you Uncle Le's criticism, I accept it! I accept! I was wrong! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen took his mistake very seriously.

"That's it! Don't talk about that! Read on! Right away! It's still impossible to change you all at once! Before the time! We argued so much! It took so long for you to change a little bit. Visible! It's really hard to change someone! Alas! It's all taught by your husband Kongqiu! It has taught you badly, and made you live in a fantasy, hypothetical mode of thinking. Live in a world where this would be the case! Never mind! Never mind! Read on! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! I was wrong! Zeng Shen said.

Zizhang asked. Zi said, "Words are faithful, deeds are respectful, although the state of barbarians, deeds." Words are not faithful, deeds are not respectful, although in the state, what are the deeds? Standing is to see its participation in the front, and in the public opinion, it is seen that it is relying on Hengye, and the husband is then walking. "Zizhang Shu Zhu Gentlemen.

"What do you mean?" Lege asked habitually.

Zeng Shen explained: "Zizhang asked how to make himself work everywhere. The gentleman said, "Be faithful in your words and be respectful in your deeds, even if you go to a barbarian area, it will work." If you are not faithful in your words and do not be respectful in your deeds, will it work in your own country? When you stand, you feel as if you see the words faithfulness and reverence appear in front of you, and when you sit in a car, it is as if you see these words engraved on the crossbar in front of the chariot, so that you can make yourself work everywhere. After hearing this, Zizhang wrote these words on the big belt around his waist. ”

"Hehehe!" Le Ge smiled: "Zizhang is really a good student!" ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

"What your husband means is that it is as if a few words are written in front of you, relying on your own inner vigilance and self-awareness. And Zizhang him! Just for show! Write the words on the big belt around your waist and you can remember? If you don't look at it, you won't remember it either! If you don't have this awakening in your heart, what's the use of writing it on your belt? ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

"That's it! Read on! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Zi said: "Straight Shiyu! There is a way in the state, such as an arrow; Bang has no way, such as an arrow. Gentleman, Boyu! If there is a way, then Shi; If there is no way, you can be involved. ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: Doctor Shi Yu is really an upright person! The country has a way, and his words and deeds are as straight as arrows; The country has no way, and his words and deeds are as straight as arrows. Lu Boyu is really a gentleman! If the country has a way, it will come out to be an official, and if the country has no way, it will dismiss the official position and keep his ideas in his heart. ”

"What do you mean by that? Who are you boasting about? Lege asked.

Zeng Shen further explained: "All praise! ”

"All praise?"

Shi Yu: Doctor Weiguo, the name , the word fish. He recommended Lan Boyu to Wei Linggong many times, but Lan Boyu came out to be an official when the country had a way, and dismissed the official if the country had no way.

"Yes!" Zeng Shen said: "Lu Boyu is more like a Taoist, he is: if the country has a way, he will come out to be an official, and if the country has no way, he will dismiss his official position." ”

"He's a Taoist! I think! Le Ge replied.

"Yes! He's a Taoist! ”

"That? What about Shi Yu? Did he be recommended by your husband? I think! Shi Yu is also a Taoist, not a person whom your husband admires. Your gentleman should not be like this when he is armed with his doctrine and ideology! Isn't it? Even if it is! That was also taught to students in their later years, before they died. For example! The 'last words' you gave me earlier. I think! At that time, Confucius, Mr. He, was close to Taoism. But! It is also a somewhat radical Taoist, not a mature Taoist! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

"Read on!" Le Ge waved his arms and said.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Zeng Shen also wanted to explain that Cola Song did not give him a chance. He didn't want to provoke this Uncle Le, so he had to give up.

Shi Yu is equally straightforward when the country has a way or no way, while Boyu only comes out to be an official when the country has a way. Therefore, Confucius said that Shi Yu is "straight" and Bo Yu is "gentleman". Straight is a good quality, but it will not protect itself. And the gentleman will preserve himself, and give up the straight quality in order to protect himself! In fact! It's a dilemma! None of them deserve to be overly praised! Do not absolutely, so as not to mislead!
