Fan Chi swam under the dancing goose and said: "Dare to ask Chongde, cultivate and discern confusion." Zi said: "Good ask! First and later, not Chongde and? Attacking its evil, not attacking people's evil, not cultivating and ? Once angry, forget his body, and his relatives, is it not confused? ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked habitually.

Zeng Shen explained: "Fan Chi accompanied Mr. to take a walk under the dance platform and said: How can I improve my moral cultivation?" How can I correct my evil thoughts? How do you discern confusion? Mr. said: Good question! Isn't it to work hard and then to gain something, just to improve your character? Examine yourself, check whether you have any evil thoughts, and have you corrected any evil thoughts? Because of a moment of anger, he forgets his own safety and does something stupid, so that he implicates his relatives, isn't this just confusion? ”

"Hmmm! Good! Your husband has nothing to say about moral cultivation! Good! Lege nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you! Thank you Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said gratefully.

"Thanks for what? Go on! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Dancing pheasant: In ancient times, the rain was sacrificed to the sky, and the altar was set up to order the witch to dance, so it was called the dancing pheasant. Pheasant, a kind of sacrifice for rain in ancient times.

Confucius believed that in order to improve the level of moral cultivation, the first thing is to do things in a down-to-earth manner and not to think too much about material interests; Then be strict with yourself and don't blame others too much; It is also important to overcome the problem of emotional impulsiveness, and not to sacrifice one's own safety, so that you can discern confusion. In this way, people will be able to raise their moral level, correct their evil thoughts, and discern confusion.

Fan Chi asked Ren. Zi said: "Lover." "Ask. Zi said: "Know people." "Fan has not arrived. Zi said: "If you are wrong, you can make the wrongdoer straight." Fan Chi retreated, and saw Zi Xia and said: "The township also saw the master and asked, Zi said, 'Straighten up the wrong people, can make the wrongdoers straight', what does it mean?" Zi Xia said: "Rich! Shun has the world, selected by the public, lifting Gao Tao, and the unkind are far away. The soup has the world, it is chosen by the public, Yiyin is lifted, and the unkind are far away. ”

"Or Fan Chi?" Lege asked.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

"Interpret it!"

"Yes! Uncle Le! ”

Zeng Shen explained: "Fan Chi asked what benevolence is. The gentleman said, "Love others as yourself." Fan Chi asked what wisdom was, and Mr. said: Understanding others is as clear as knowing oneself. Fan Chi still didn't understand. And the gentleman said, "Choose people of integrity and correct those who are wrong." Depose the wicked and set things right, so that the wicked can be brought to justice. Fan Chi withdrew, saw Zixia and said, "I saw the teacher just now and asked him what wisdom is, and he said, 'Select upright people and correct those wrong behaviors.'" Depose the wicked, and that will bring the wicked to justice. 'What does this mean?' Zixia said: How profound this is said! Shun has the world, and he escapes from the selection of talents among the people, and selects Gaotao, and the unkind people are alienated. Tang has the world, selects talents among the people, and selects Yi Yin, and the unkind people are alienated. ”

"That's a little hard to understand!" Lege nodded.

"Uncle Le!" Zeng Shen explained: "Love others as yourself, and when you do this, you are benevolent." Pity! A lot of people can't! They have only themselves and no one else. ”

"This is easy to understand!" Le Ge said.

"Hmm!" Zeng Shen Dao. "Then it's wisdom! What the gentleman means is: We must be wise and have the ability to discern right from wrong. It doesn't matter if our own abilities are limited, we can select excellent talents. Such! can make up for their own shortcomings. Mr. said! That's wisdom! ”

"Oh? Your husband is very good at organizational leadership and management! Well! ”

"Thank you, Uncle Le! Thank you! Zeng Shen thanked him.

"Read on!"

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Zigong asked his friends. Zi said: "Advice and good ways, do not stop, do not humiliate yourself." ”

"What do you mean?"

Zeng Shen explained: "Zigong asked how to treat his friends. The gentleman said: Advise him faithfully, guide him properly, and if the other party does not listen, it is fine, and do not force others to accept it, otherwise you will bring shame on yourself. ”

"Hehehe!" Le Ge smiled: "Your husband doesn't treat himself as an outsider anywhere!" ”

"Uncle Le?" Zeng looked at Lege in bewilderment, waiting for an explanation.

Le Ge looked at Zeng Shen and said with a smile: "Your husband regards himself as a teacher and a gentleman everywhere, and treats others as fools!" ”

"Uncle Le! You? Zeng Shen's face became unhappy on the spot.

Seeing that Zeng Shen was that virtue again, Le Ge smiled bitterly. Said: "Isn't it? Wherever he goes, he is a 'good teacher' and can guide others! As if he was very capable! Isn't it? ”

"You?" Zeng Shen was angry.

"Your husband has come to me, and he thinks of himself as a gentleman. When he went to the king, he regarded himself as a gentleman, more than a king. In front of everyone, including Lao Tzu, the first genius in the world of the Great Zhou, he wants to be smart. Outcome! was trained by Lao Tzu. He couldn't stand it and ran away the next day! Alas! This is you, sir! ”

"Uncle Le?" Zeng Shen trembled with anger.

Seeing Zeng Shen's virtue, Le Ge smiled and said, "I'm joking with you!" Zeng Shen! Zengzi! Do you see you? If I say something nice, you're a thank you on the left and a thank you on the right. If I say a nasty thing or two, look at you? You virtue! All right! Read on! Hey! ”

"Uncle Le!" Zeng was angry but wanted to argue. But! In the end, I endured it. Answer: "Yes! Uncle Le! ”

There is no way! You're here to beg someone. Otherwise! He doesn't have such good virtue and virtue!

"Read on!" Lege urged.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said. Then he added, "Here are my own words!" ”

"Oh!" Lege nodded and said, "What did you say?" ”

"I say?" Zeng Shen's expression changed for a moment, and he said: "Zeng Zi said: A gentleman will meet friends with literature, and he will help people with friends. ”

"Hehehe! Interpret it! Lege laughed.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen was embarrassed to interpret: "Zeng Zi said: A gentleman makes friends with articles and knowledge, and relies on friends to help him cultivate benevolence, help each other, and make progress together." ”

"Oh! Friends with the text, or what you say! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! ”

'See!' 'Friends in Writing' from the Analects! Hehehe! I'm lonely and unheard! Lege laughed.

"Uncle Le!"

Zengzi inherited the ideas of Confucius, advocating the use of literature and scholarship as a means to make friends, and the purpose of making friends was to help each other cultivate benevolence.

"Read on!"

"Uncle Le! Without! This one is gone! That's it! Zeng Shen said.

"None?" Lege asked.

"No more! Uncle Le! ”

"None? Doesn't seem like what you said before? Isn't the theme of this article what you said before? Zengshen? Zengzi? Lege asked.
