Chapter 996: Seeing Bad Is Like Exploring Soup

"What does the villain know? What do the people know? They're just trying to survive. Even! They don't know what people live for? What is life for? Isn't it? Le Ge said.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

The difference between a gentleman and a villain! As the saying goes: the ignorant are fearless!

Read on! I've heard it, and I'm back to talking about Ji's body! Lege laughed.

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

Confucius said: "He who is born to know, he is also superior; Those who learn and know, the second also; Sleepy and learned, and secondary; Sleepy and not learning, the people are the next step. ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked habitually.

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: A person who is born to know is a genius; Only after studying do you know that you are inferior people; Those who encounter difficulties and then go to study are the next class people; People who don't study when they encounter difficulties are inferior people. ”

"Explain it specifically? Why did your husband say that? Lege asked.

Zeng Shen further explained: "The gentleman does not admit that he is 'born to know', he says that he only knows it after studying. He hopes that people will be diligent and studious, and not wait for difficulties to learn. When the book is used, he hates less, and if he doesn't study when he encounters difficulties, this person can't be saved. ”

"Good!" Lege applauded.

"Thank you, Uncle Le!"

"Read on!"

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Confucius said: "A gentleman has nine thoughts: seeing and thinking, listening to and thinking, being thoughtful, being thoughtful, looking and thinking, being loyal to words, thinking about respect, doubting and asking, thinking about difficulties, and seeing righteousness." ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: A gentleman has nine things to think about: first, when you look at it, you must think about whether you can see it clearly or not; 2. When listening, think about whether you can hear clearly; 3. You should think about whether your face is gentle. Fourth, pay attention to your appearance and think about whether you are humble; Fifth, when speaking, think about whether you are loyal or not; Sixth, we should think about whether we are cautious and serious; 7. When you encounter doubts, you should think about whether you should ask others; 8. When you are angry, you should think about whether there is any trouble. 9. When obtaining financial gains, consider whether it is in accordance with the standard of righteousness. ”

"Your sir has finally spoken of gentlemen again! Good! ”

"Thank you, Uncle Le!"

"Go on!"

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Confucius's "A gentleman has nine thoughts" takes into account all aspects of people's words and deeds, and he requires himself and his students to think carefully and self-reflect in every word and deed.

Zi said: "Seeing the good is like not being able to see the good, and seeing the bad is like exploring the soup." I see them, I hear them. Secluded in order to pursue his will, and righteous to achieve his way. I have heard his words, but I have not seen them. ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: When you see the kind behavior of others, you should feel that you have not done enough. When you see an unkind action, it's like putting your hand in boiling water, so you should avoid it quickly. I've seen people like that, and I've heard things like that. To live in seclusion is to preserve one's life and aspirations, and to act according to righteousness is to promote one's righteous ways. I've heard that before, but I've never seen anyone like it. ”

"What do you mean? What does that mean? There are many people who just talk but don't do it, and there are many people who say beautiful things? Really? Lege asked.

"Yes!" Zeng Shen said: "Mr. sighed: he has heard of it, some people have said it, and many people have said it. But! I just haven't seen anyone like this! ”

"Read on!"

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Qi Jinggong has a thousand horses, and on the day of death, the people have no virtue and are praised. Bo Yi Shuqi starved to death under the Shouyang, and the people are now called it. What is it?

"What do you mean?" Lege asked habitually.

Zeng Shen explained: "Qi Jinggong had 4,000 horses, and when he died, the people felt that he had no virtue to praise. Boyi and Shuqi starved to death at the foot of Shouyang Mountain, and the people are still praising them. That's what it means. ”

"What do you mean? What do you mean, sir? It's useless to have property, it's better to starve to death at the foot of Shouyang Mountain without property, Boyi and Shuqi! Heroes are judged not by property, but by the virtue of a person? No one will remember you if you are not virtuous. If it's dead, it's dead, and others still applaud! Le Ge said.

That's what it means! But! Uncle Le's rhetoric is a bit excessive! Zeng Shen said.

"Hehehe! That's all I am! Can't change it! Talk fast! Le Ge said.

Only virtuous people can be passed down through the ages! A person without virtue can only be prosperous for a while while he is alive! It could also be disgusting! How worthless! So! Or Virtue!

Chen Kang asked Yu Boyu: "Does the son also have a strange smell?" He said, "No." Taste independence, carp tends to pass through the court. He said: 'Learn poetry? He said, "No." 'If you don't learn poetry, you can't speak.' 'The carp retreated to learn poetry. He is independent day by day, and the carp tends to pass through the court. He said, 'Learn etiquette? He said, "No." 'If you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand.' 'The carp retreated and learned the ceremony. Wen Si both. Chen Kang retreated and said happily: "Ask one and get three." Listen to poetry, smell etiquette, and hear the gentleman's distant son. ”

"So long? What do you mean? Interpret it! Lege interrupted.

Zeng Shen hurriedly explained: "Chen Kang asked Boyu: Have you heard any special teachings from the teacher? Boyu replied, "No! Once, when he was standing alone in the hall, I walked briskly through the court, and he said, 'Have you learned the poem?' I replied: 'No.' He said: 'If you don't learn poetry, you won't know how to speak.' I'll go back and learn poetry. Another day, when he was standing alone in the hall again, I walked briskly through the court, and he said, 'Have you learned the rites?' I replied: 'No.' He said: 'If you don't learn the etiquette, you won't know how to stand up.' I'll go back and learn the rites. I've heard both of these things. Chen Kang went back and said happily: I asked a question, and I got three gains, I listened to the truth about "Poetry", listened to the truth about etiquette, and listened to the truth that a gentleman does not favor his son. ”

Chen Kang: 互, pronounced gāng, that is, Chen Zi Bird.

Boyu: Kong carp!

"Hehehe!" Le Ge smiled: "Kong Carp is not stupid! I thought so! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! ”

"Like?" Le Ge looked at Zeng Shen and asked, "Only now has 'Boyu' appeared?" And! It's not a hole carp yet! You? You guys? Why don't you just say the hole carp? Wouldn't that make it easier to understand who it is? ”

"It's the same with Boyu!" Zeng Shen argued.

Le Ge thinks: It may be that modern people prefer to call Kong carp, but Zeng Shen and others like to call 'Boyu'. So! I didn't ask any more questions.

Bangjun's wife, the monarch called Mrs., and Mrs. called herself Xiaotong; The people of the state are called Mrs. Jun, and the people of different countries are called widows and little kings; Foreigners call her Mrs. Jun.

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Shen explained: "The wife of the monarch, the monarch calls her Mrs., the lady calls herself a child, and the people call her Mrs. Jun; To other people, they call her a widow, and other people also call her Mrs. Jun. ”

"What do you mean? How did it get to the woman? Lege asked puzzled.

Zeng replied: "This is a reaffirmation: social hierarchy. Meaning! Monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, everything has rules. And Ji's! But it messed up the rules and messed up the world......"

"Oh? That's what it means! Lege suddenly replied with a sense of enlightenment.
