Chapter 1012 Zengzi Interprets "Yao Yue"

After interpreting the "Zizhang Chapter", the two rested for a while and began to have lunch.

Because Zengzi hasn't been here for a long time, he is a distinguished guest. It was just in time for lunch, so I didn't eat snacks or anything, and arranged to have lunch directly.

The current music song is the ancestor of the family. So! He doesn't cook anymore here. Wei'er is already old, and she is also an ancestor-level person. So! She no longer served Le Ge. Opposite! She herself became the object of service and enjoyed pure blessings.

In the current school, after Fang Qin left, there was only the Lege family left. The gentlemen in the private school are basically the descendants of Lege, and they are all grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The sons and daughters of Lege basically retreated to the background and no longer presided over affairs publicly. After all! The future belongs to young people.

Every time Zengzi came, he almost never went empty-handed. Because every time I come, I will give gifts to Lege's children and grandchildren. So! When he comes, the children and grandchildren of Lege will take the initiative to entertain him.

It's still an old habit, either to eat at a house, or to bring a dish to the family and make a table.

Wei'er didn't sit down on the side of the desk to eat, she ate on the side. She doesn't go to her children's and grandchildren's houses to eat, but only eats at Lege's side. And! Basically, I don't sit in the seats. Especially when Zeng Zi (Zeng Shen) came, she didn't sit down.

She knows: Zeng Zi is going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and he is not easy to come if he has nothing to do. So! She wants to give time and space to Zengzi.

Usually her! When there are no outsiders, they basically eat with Lege. One sits on one side of the desk, and the other sits on the opposite side of the desk.

After eating lunch and resting for a while, Le Ge and Zeng Zi began to study the Analects again. Right now! There is only the last part of the Analects, which is the "Yao Yue Chapter".

Zeng Zi had already said when he came here that he was not only here to let Uncle Le read the Analects, but the most important thing was to ask Uncle Le to show him the articles he had written on doctrine and thought.

So! Time is precious. I have to hurry up and help Zeng Zi review the manuscript. To know! The current Zeng Zi is also a gentleman. The difference is: he is not a gentleman who runs a private school. But! Mr. who teaches "University". Just like Confucius back then, he only brought people who came to visit him, and only became students of these people. And also! His main work is to disseminate the doctrines and ideas of Mr. Confucius, as well as to disseminate his own doctrines and ideas.

His doctrine and thought are the doctrines and ideas of Mr. Confucius, differently! He summarized the doctrine and thought of Mr. Confucius, and made Mr. Confucius's doctrine and thought more complete and systematic. Therefore! formed his style.

"That! Let's get started! Le Ge stretched out his hand and gestured and said.

"Thank you! Thank you Uncle Le! Zengzi looked at Uncle Lege and said gratefully.

Since it is the last article of the Analects, it should be summarized and summarized, right? Isn't it true to summarize and summarize the Analects? Le Ge asked.

Zeng Shen said: "Yes! Uncle Le! ”

"Then let's start reading the text!"

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Yao said: "Consult! Ershun! The calendar of the heavens is bowing, and it is allowed to hold on to it. The four seas are poor, and the heavens will never end. ”

Shun also lives Yu. He said: "Give the boy shoes, dare to use Xuanmu, dare to tell the emperor and the queen: I dare not forgive my guilt." The emperor is not hidden, Jane is in the emperor's heart. I am guilty of all things; All sides are guilty, and the sin is bowing. ”

"Wait! So long? Lege interrupted.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Zi responded: "The last one is very long!" ”

"Oh?" Le Ge responded: "Then let's interpret it paragraph by paragraph!" ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Zi responded.

"The first paragraph! Interpret it! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Zi interpreted: "Yao said: Tsk! You Shun! The destiny of Heaven has fallen on you. Honestly keep the middle way! If all the people of the world were hidden in hardship and poverty, the throne given to you by Heaven would end forever. ”

"What do you mean? Is it a warning? Lege asked.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Zi responded: "It's a warning!" Yao asked Shun to maintain the middle way and let the people live a good life. We should not conceal the hardships and poverty of the people, and we should not make superficial statements, engage in formalism, and sing praises of virtue. If that's the case? So! Shun's position and honor are gone, and Shun's good life is over. ”

"Oh?" Le Ge nodded and said, "Well said!" Yao isn't just a warning to Shun, right? It's also a warning to all the emperors and powers of later generations, right? ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Zi nodded.

"Good! Read on! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Zi responded.

Then he interpreted: "Shun also warned Yu like this." Shang Tang said: My boy is careful to sacrifice with a black bull and pray to the great Emperor of Heaven: I dare not forgive the guilty without authorization, and I dare not hide the servants of the Emperor, it is up to the Emperor's heart to distinguish and choose. If I am guilty, do not implicate all the parties in the world, and if all the parties in the world are guilty, they will all be borne by me alone. ”

"Explain it exactly? Don't be crumpled, I don't understand your written language! Let's interpret it in the vernacular! Lege looked at Zengzi and said.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Zi responded.

Then the vernacular interpreted: "Yao said the above words when Chan gave the throne to Shun, and Shun Emperor Chan also said similar things when he gave Yu the throne, which was used to warn Yu." ”

"Oh?"

Zeng Zi continued to explain: "Later, Shang Tang, he also stated: I dare not pardon the guilty without authorization, and I dare not hide the servants of the Emperor of Heaven, and it is up to the Emperor's heart to distinguish and choose. If I am guilty, do not implicate all the parties in the world, and if all the parties in the world are guilty, they will all be borne by me alone. ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Zi explained: "The meaning is: as emperors, they should be responsible for the people of the world. As an emperor, you must be responsible. And that's not all! It is also a warning to those who are officials and those in power in the world must be responsible for the people. Otherwise! Not only sorry for the people of the world, but also sorry for the sky! ”

"Oh?" Le Ge responded: "It's a pity! At the current stage of the Zhou Dynasty, where is anyone still believing in this? No! In fact, a long time ago, the emperor and king of the Zhou Dynasty discarded the warnings of the ancient emperors! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Zi replied. Exactly because of this! Mr. has been running around all his life, calling on the people of the world to awaken! Pity! A lifetime in vain, no one listens to him! Whining! ”

"Don't be afraid!" Le Ge was relieved: "The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still have to work hard!" You just do your best! Sir has you! You have Zisi, Zisi has his disciples, from generation to generation, and never stop! ”

"Thank you! Thank you Uncle Le! Zengzi cried.

"Read on!"

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Zi responded.

Zhou has a big fortune, and good people are rich. "Although there are relatives, it is not as good as benevolence. The people have had, and they are giving to one. "Be cautious in power, judge the law, repair and abolish officials, and govern the Quartet. Rise and destroy the country, follow the peerless, lift the people, and the people of the world return to their hearts. Important: people, food, mourning, sacrifice. If you are lenient, you will win the people, and if you believe, the people will be at your mercy. Min is meritorious, and Gong is said.

"What do you mean? Interpret it! Lege stretched out his hand and gestured.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Zi responded: "This paragraph is together with the above text!" Uncle Le! I didn't finish reading it just now. So! It must be understood together with the text above! ”
