Chapter 1009 A gentleman learns his way

Zi Xia said: "Although the road is small, there must be a considerable number of people, and it is not a gentleman to be afraid of mud." ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Zi explained: "Zixia said: Although they are all small skills, there must be merits, but it will not work to use them to achieve lofty goals. Therefore, gentlemen generally do not indulge in those 'carving insect skills', but set lofty goals! ”

"Hmm!" Le Ge hummed: "Why do I think it's all some learning experience? ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Ziying said: "These are all added later, this is the inheritance!" ”

"Oh?" Lege nodded.

Zeng Zi further explained: "The meaning of this sentence is: to be a human being, you must have lofty goals! Don't indulge in small achievements and small crafts. Of course! It's not that I look down on those who have skills. It's not what it means, but I hope that everyone has lofty ideals and goals, and the realm of life is higher! ”

"Hmmm! Good! Lege nodded again, and then said, "Keep reading!" ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Zi Xia said: "The sun knows what it is going to do, and the moon does not forget what it can do, and it can be said that it is easy to learn." ”

"What do you mean? Interpret it! Lege asked habitually.

Zeng Zi explained: "Zixia said: Every day you can learn something that you didn't know in the past, and you haven't forgotten what you have learned after a few months, which can be called good learning." ”

"Oh! Hehehe! Le Ge said with a smile: "This is the so-called learning from old age, and there are still a few things that you haven't learned until you die!" ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Ziying said: "Human life is limited, but knowledge is infinite." So! We can't finish learning. But! We don't have to learn everything. There are only a few things that must be learned, and the rest are options, so you can choose according to your interests. ”

"Actually! Survival is the main thing! What to learn? Learning how to survive is the main thing. Other things, why do you learn from him? Le Ge replied.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Zi replied. Learn! It's for survival! ”

"Hmmm! Good! Lege applauded.

From the perspective of modern educational psychology, this is also the case! Young people, it is easy for children to learn and accept new things! But! If you don't study for a long time, it's easy to forget!

Zi Xia said; "Erudite and ambitious, inquisitive and thoughtful, benevolence is in it."

"What do you mean? Interpret it! Le Ge asked.

Zeng Zi explained: "Zixia said: Erudite and determined, ask and think more about the current things, benevolence is among them. ”

Le Ge stretched out his hand and gestured, "What do you mean?" Explain it in detail! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Zi responded.

He then further explained: "It is necessary to have both extensive learning and a center of pursuit, which is called, 'erudition and ambition.'" It is necessary to ask more questions, but not to be too ambitious and unrealistically fantasizing, but to think more about current things and things that are closely related to one's actual situation, which is called 'asking questions and thinking closely'. ”

"Oh?"

Zeng Zi said: "Why do you say 'benevolence is in it'? Through learning and thinking, we will understand the meaning of life, and we will understand what benevolence is. ”

"Hmmm! Good! Go on! Read on! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Zi Xia said: "Hundreds of workers live in order to succeed, and gentlemen learn to do their way." ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Zi explained: "Zixia said: Craftsmen from all walks of life live in workshops to complete their work, and gentlemen support the Tao through learning. ”

Meaning: To each of you to do what you can? Everyone has their own mission? Le Ge asked.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Zi replied. Everything is done through learning and practice! Not only to get the job done, but also to finish our lives! ”

"Good! Read on! Lege applauded.

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

Zixia said: "The villain's fault must also be written." ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked habitually.

Zeng Zi explained: "Zixia said: If a villain makes a mistake, he must use words to cover up his mistakes, or even pass the blame on others. ”

"Hmmm! To the point! The villain is like this! No! It should be said! Most people are like that, not just villains! Le Ge replied.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Ziying said: "The villain does not dare to take responsibility!" Fear of taking responsibility, and can't afford it. So! They like to pass the buck on. ”

"Hmmm! Good! Read on! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Zi responded.

Zi Xia said: "A gentleman has three changes: he looks at it, he is warm, and he is strong when he listens to his words." ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked habitually.

Zeng Zi explained: "Zixia said: A gentleman has three changes: he looks solemn and terrible from a distance, and he looks gentle and amiable when approaching him, but! Listen to his voice, and the language is stern. ”

"Oh?" The song answered.

Zengzi explained: "This is the first impression of a gentleman! ”

"Hmmm! Good! "Lege answered again." Before! You've choreographed many impressions of your husband. Right now! and arrange the impression of a gentleman. Good! Read on! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Zi responded.

Zi Xia said: "A gentleman believes and then works for his people; If you don't believe it, you think it's hard to believe it, and then admonish it; If they do not believe, they will blaspheme themselves. ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Zi explained: "Zixia said: A gentleman must gain the trust of the people before he can manage them, otherwise!" The people will think that they are being abused. It is necessary to gain the trust of the monarch first, and then to advise; Otherwise, the monarch will think that you are slandering him. ”

"True! That's exactly what happened! This is Zixia's experience! Le Ge said.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Zi replied. Advice, summaries of experience, these all come from practice. ”

"Go on! Read on! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Zi responded.

Zi Xia said: "Dade is not too idle, and Xiaode can go in and out." ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Zi explained: "Zixia said: You can't go beyond the boundaries in the big section, and it's okay to have some discrepancies in the small section. ”

Confucianism has always believed that as a person with a gentleman's personality, he should take into account the overall situation and not worry about the details. It is allowed to make some small mistakes, and if you know that you are wrong, you can correct them, and you can't make fewer big mistakes!

"Good! Read on! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Zi responded.

Ziyou said: "Zixia Zhimen boy, when the sprinkler sweeps to deal with the advance and retreat, it can be carried out, and the end is also suppressed." If there is none, what is it? Zi Xia heard it and said: "Oh, the words have traveled!" The way of a gentleman, who should pass it on first? Aftermath? For example, the grass and trees are different. The way of a gentleman, how can it be blamed? There is a beginning and a death, but what are the saints? ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.
