"Uncle Le! You say that my husband's doctrine and thoughts seem to have no effect at all? Obviously this is the truth, why is it worthless? Zeng Shen sighed.

"Didn't I say that? Your husband's set of doctrines and ideas can only play a role in a certain environment and in a prosperous age. It can be used as a textbook and as a textbook for life and moral lessons. In real life, in troubled times, in an unfamiliar environment, its role is very small, and it will only make believers suffer and be deceived! That's it! No more nonsense! ”

"This? Uncle Le! ”

Le Ge ignored Zeng Shen, picked up the bamboo slip again, and looked down at Zeng Shen's version of "The Analects".

"Uncle Le!"

Le Ge raised his right hand to stop Zeng Shen from speaking. And then! put down the bamboo slip and said, "Isn't this 'learning and chapter' you arranged?" You made this up: 'Zi said: The country of a thousand times of the Tao, respect and believe, use sparingly and love people, so that the people can be timely. It makes sense, that's it! But! The premise must be: there is a state! Have the ability to guarantee the national security presence. You may not understand it again, and you have to be dogmatic with me. All right! I'll explain it to you, and you'll listen! ”

"Uncle Le! I'm listening! ”

"Didn't your husband say that? It makes sense, that's what happened. But! There is a premise! There must be a country first. Without a state, everything is empty talk. Second! It is necessary to have the ability to guarantee national security. The ability to ensure national security includes not only force, but also diplomatic wisdom! Do you understand? ”

"This?"

"Of course! Hehehe! Le Ge smiled: "I'm just picking thorns!" In short! Your husband is right when he says this! But! There must be a premise. Why am I mentioning the premise? It's because! We are in troubled times. So! The premise must be addressed. In fact! It's not just the premise, the foundation, it's the reality. ”

"This?"

"You probably haven't understood what I mean, I'll break it down! Other words! At this stage, you follow this set of doctrines, ideas, and theories that your husband said, and what are the results? You governed the country well and soon became rich. But! You will soon be swallowed up by other powerful military powers! What do you think? Isn't it? ”

"This?"

"That's it! Don't dwell on that, I've already said that! I'm just picking on thorns! Since I promised you to interpret the Zeng Shen edition of the Analects that you arranged, I will continue to talk about it. ”

"Uncle Le, please speak!"

"According to the way you arranged the Analects, it is correct to write it in this way. Before, you said that you want to cultivate yourself, three provinces a day, right? ”

"Yes!"

"Your husband said: The country should also cultivate itself!"

"Yes!"

"So! You're a good one. ”

"Thank you!"

"And then again! This paragraph is said by your husband again. After saying that the country should also 'self-cultivation', your husband said: If a disciple enters the country, he will be filial, and when he goes out, he will be cautious and faithful, and he will love the people and be kind, and if he has spare strength, he will learn literature. Isn't it? ”

"Yes!"

"So how do you interpret it?"

"Sir!" Zeng said: "Mr. said: Be filial to your parents at home, and respect your teachers when you go out." Be cautious in your words and deeds, be honest and trustworthy, treat those around you with a tolerant heart, and be close to those who are virtuous. Do your job well, and if you have spare time, you have to learn knowledge. Replenish yourself with new knowledge in a timely manner. ”

"Good!" Le Ge said: "What your husband teaches is the way of life, the way of life, and the golden and jade words!" ”

"There's nothing wrong with that?" Zeng Shen asked suspiciously.

I thought: You just like to pick thorns, what? Can't you pick out this sentence?

"Next! It's a passage that Zixia said! How did you arrange Zixia in front of Zigong? Lege asked puzzled.

"This?" Zeng Shen thought for a moment and replied: "We all admire Zixia's talent, and Zigong also obeys him." So! We all respect him. ”

Zi Xia: surname Bu, famous businessman, word Zi Xia. He was 44 years younger than Confucius and was born in 507 BC. After Confucius's death, he propagated Confucius's ideas in the Wei state. Reputedly! One of his students later joined the Mo family and became an important figure in the Mo family. Visible! Zixia's doctrine and thought are very different from Confucius's.

"Oh?" Le Ge then said: "Although I don't know him, but I have heard? His understanding is a little different from yours, and it seems to be similar to our Taoism. But! It's not Taoist thought! In a word! He wants to create another school of doctrine, right? ”

"No!" Zeng Shen defended: "His views are very unique and realistic. But! He himself admits that he is an innovation and extension of the ideas of Mr. Mr.'s doctrine and ideas are what he believes in, so he guards the tomb with us and does the courtesy of his disciples. ”

"Oh?"

"Actually! When we were together, we often raised the bar and argued, on par! Zeng Shen sighed.

"Don't talk about Zixia and them, just say the 'learning and chapter' you arranged, I think: don't look down, that's it! What you mean is: What you follow from Confucius is probably these contents, the main contents. The main content is: cultivating one's own morality. This is the main academic idea of your husband. ”

Zeng Shen interrupted: "Uncle Le! And that's not all! I'm just the beginning, and I'm just a part of it. ”

"Being human is the main part!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Uncle Le! Correct solution! Correct solution! ”

"Hehehe!" Le Ge smiled: "I'm afraid it's also in terms of morality, I can't blame your husband." In other respects, I can criticize your sir for nothing! ”

"Uncle Le! Zeng Shen still hopes that you will continue to explain to me. The moral aspect should be explained, and other aspects should be explained as well! That's all! I can arrange the Analects better! Uncle Le! ”

"Hmmm! Good! Le Ge replied.

Can you not accept that others treat you as a teacher? What a beautiful errand! What a face!

"Thank you!"

"You let me say it! Then I'll give you an opinion! You can cut out some of the parts at the end of your 'Learning'! Don't repeat questions for the sake of names. Or! You don't delete them completely, but put their duplicate questions on the back burner. For the sake of respect for them, it is appropriate to keep their names. ”

"Uncle Le? Do I have repetitions in the next choreography? ”

"There is repetition in the meaning!" Lege explained: "It's a similar meaning! I suggest that all words with similar meanings be deleted or moved to the back. The front is just the beginning, just an introduction, an outline, to guide everyone to read, and there is a detailed interpretation later. If the front is too detailed, you won't be able to go on later, and it will be trembling! Isn't it? ”

"This?" Zeng Shen took the "Analects" he had written, looked at it, and then! Nodding. said: "Then I'll delete all of these and keep these!" I? ”

"Hehehe!"

"Me?" Zeng saw that there was pen and ink on the desk, so he quickly picked it up, scratched it on the bamboo slips, and smeared some of the contents with ink. And then! Both hands were handed to Lege.

"Uncle Le! You see? How is it? ”
