Zigong is also a businessman, and he is also a big businessman. And Zeng Shen is just a small businessman. I run a warehouse at home, and most of the goods I buy are sold in my own store. Compared with the two, it seems that Zeng Shen is a small witch in front of Zigong.

But! If you compare it from another angle, the result is different.

Zigong is good at human feelings and sophistication, and he has seen a large world and a lot of the world. But what he sees is only the reality of reality. He has his own deep understanding of real society and real life.

Although Zeng Shen has not seen much of the world, and his understanding of real society and real life is not as profound as Zigong's, he can have a thorough grasp of Confucius's thoughts. He knew what Confucius meant and what purpose he said. What did Confucius want to express?

On top of that! He is stronger than Zigong.

One sentence summary: Zigong has a deeper understanding of real life, while Zeng Shen has a deeper understanding of society.

Although Zeng Shen does not have so much experience and has not seen so much of the world, he can understand and like to delve into it: why did it cause today's social situation?

What is the cause of today's social phenomenon? This is the question that Zeng Shen usually thinks about.

And Zigong! He only deals with real-life problems, but he does not think about and delve into deep-seated problems, and does not think about how the current social situation is caused.

Other words! One sees only the superficial phenomena of society, and solves only the superficial problems of society. One is to see behind the superficial phenomena of society and see the causes of such social phenomena. What he wants to solve is how to fundamentally solve social problems.

Zigong is the former, and Zeng Shen is the latter.

Compared with Yan Hui, Zeng Shen seems to be in the same type. But! The two are also different. The two are completely different in personality: Zeng Shen is an extrovert, and Yan Hui is introverted.

Yan Hui is more scholarly (otaku), while Zeng Shen can participate in social activities.

Since Zeng participated, Confucius seemed to be a different person, and there were signs of "returning to the light".

With someone who understands him, he naturally has more words. Whenever he talked about something, he would repeat it many times. And! Be sure to explain it clearly. Worried that others would not understand, he would take the trouble to give examples. I didn't stop until others were listening absent-mindedly.

Zeng Shen said that it counted, not to coax Mr. to say that he would not leave. But! Really stayed. Most of the day is spent by Confucius's side. Including sleeping at night, he slept in the same bed with Confucius.

In addition to socializing every day, in addition to giving lectures to visitors, Confucius spent most of his time opening a small stove for Zeng Shen.

And Zeng Shen did not disappoint him, there are many times, as long as he starts a head, Zeng Shen can understand what he means, and then he will tell him his understanding. Outcome! And that's exactly what he was trying to say.

With such a good student, it was easier for Confucius to interpret.

Because of the trip to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Confucius's experience of "greeting the Zhou Dynasty" listened to Lao Tzu's preaching. So! Confucius also had the experience of "preaching".

As Zeng Shen said! In the past, Confucius's doctrines and thoughts were all in his only words, and they were all just fragments, but did not form a system. Right now! He wanted to establish his own system of doctrine and form his own theoretical system.

When Lao Tzu preached to him, he also took the words out of context to understand Lao Tzu's words. Outcome! were all refuted by Lao Tzu. Right now! Others also adopted the way he treated Lao Tzu at the beginning, taking words out of context to understand his words, and the result! often makes him unable to answer.

So! Right now! In his lifetime, he will connect and connect his words and phrases to form his own doctrine and thoughts. Or rather! "Confucian Thought".

You can't connect your own words and phrases to form a piece, form a whole, and you will be misinterpreted by others out of context. It's the same as when I took the words out of context and misinterpreted Lao Tzu's Taoism.

Words taken out of context? It is also true that what Confucius said before would have contradictions with each other, and he would not be able to justify himself.

is also as Kong Li sighed: If my father wants to scold me, he can always find a reason. I did the right thing, and he could find a reason to scold me. If he wants to praise me, encourage me, even if I do something wrong, he has a reason to praise me.

These are the words of Confucius, which are full of contradictions. Only what he said, not what you said. Only the official 'family' is allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to 'light' lamps!

He said you have a point, then! You've got a point! He said you didn't pay attention, then! You just ignored it.

In the same way, he said that he was reasonable, and he could speak his truth. If he says that you are unreasonable, then he can also say his truth.

It's like the feng shui masters of modern society: they are in a good mood and come to your house to see feng shui, and your home's feng shui is definitely "on the wind and on the water". If he's in a bad mood, then! Even if you used to ask a world-class feng shui master to see the feng shui, then! There is still a problem with your family's feng shui! Just "patiently" look for it, and you can find a whole bunch of them.

Of course! Confucius's doctrine and thought are not Feng Shui, not based on mood.

A modern feng shui gentleman should not only look at the mood, but also look at the money, and more importantly, the money. He is in a bad mood, but you pay a lot, and for the sake of the money you get, they will say that your family's feng shui is very good. They're in a good mood and you're giving a lot of money, so! Definitely say that your home's feng shui is good. And then! Tell me to leave.

And Confucius's doctrine and thought are not like this! He is fundamental. A student once said: Loyalty and forgiveness are the core.

Confucius had this core very early on, so! He named Fang Jishi's two sons: one was named Fang Zhong and the other was Fang Shu.

Everything has a standard and a guideline, not just a lie.

For example! He said that Kong Carp did it right, and then said that Kong Carp did not do it right, not because he was in a good mood, nor because he had contradictions in his thoughts. But! He has a core standard. That is: for the sake of the hole carp! I hope Kong Li understands his good intentions.

In order to better educate you and make you understand things, so! Sometimes I praise you for doing the right thing, and sometimes you reprimand you if you don't. Why? That depends on the needs of the external environment. Sometimes praising you can make you complacent and proud because of it. So! You can't be praised at this time.

It's the same with doing something wrong! If you know you've done something wrong, then! I can't scold you anymore, lest you blame yourself. Opposite! and to persuade and comfort you. And if you don't know that you've done something wrong, or if you don't admit it, then! It's strange if you don't scold you?

In a word! Educating you to develop in a good direction is the core criterion.

It's a pity that the young Kong carp didn't understand the good intentions of his father Confucius, and in turn thought that his father was mentally ill and looked at his mood.
