Chapter 1018 Ten Eyes See Ten Hands Fingers

Zeng Shen explained: "The 'such as cutting and learning' here means: like processing bone tools, constantly learning. In fact! It also refers to the attitude of learning; The phrase 'such as polishing such as grinding' means that it is like polishing beautiful jade, pondering repeatedly. In fact! It also refers to the spirit of self-cultivation; To say that he is 'dignified and cheerful' means that he is cautious and fearful, to say that he is 'dignified' means that he is very majestic, and to say, 'Such a gentleman of good manners is truly unforgettable!'" It means that because he is very noble and has attained the most perfect state, he is unforgettable. ”

Does this mean the image? The image that a person gives to him! Other words! This is what you thought Zengzi thought: people should be like this! Really? Le Ge asked.

"Yes!" Zeng Zi replied.

"Actually! The image of the person you are talking about is completely different from what your husband said! Your husband subdivides people, which makes people a little confused. And you! It is only from the perspective of man, from the perspective of human sociology, from the perspective of human beings that distinguish them from animals and other things. Really? ”

"Yes!" Zeng Zi replied.

"Good! Read on! Lege urged.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zengzi agreed.

"Poetry" cloud: "Before the play, the king will not forget!" "The gentleman is virtuous and kisses his relatives, and the villain is happy and profitable, and he will never forget it.

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

Zeng Zi interpreted: "The Book of Songs says: Ah, the kings of the previous generation are really unforgettable! This is because the monarchs and nobles were able to follow the example of the kings who preceded them, respected the virtuous, and were close to their relatives, and the common people also received blessings, enjoyed happiness, and reaped benefits. So! Although the previous kings are dead, they will never be forgotten. ”

"What do you mean? Do you mean to follow suit? Le Ge asked.

"Yes!" Zeng Zi replied.

The people take the people and life in the capital as an example and yearn for life there. Birds have a bird's life, and they have their own circle of happy life. Therefrom! Confucius pointed out that people should also have their own way of life, and people have a different way of life than birds!

In fact! Not only Confucius pointed out, but also Zeng Tzu pointed out: people should also have their own way of life.

What distinguishes man from a bird is different from other things. So? What kind of lifestyle do people have? What about the circle of life?

People have human nature, and people have their own temperament and their own way of life, which is different from other things! If we are lost and do not know how we should live, then! Let's take King Wen as an example and learn how to behave in the world!

"Read on!" Lege gestured.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zengzi agreed.

The son said: "Listen to lawsuits, and I, the Jews, will also make no lawsuits!" "The ruthless must not do their part, and they are afraid of the people's will. This is called Zhiben.

Lege gestured: "Interpret it!" What do you mean? ”

Zeng Zi explained: "Mr. said: I have the same method as others in trying litigation cases. But! The key is not how to hear the case fairly, but how to make the lawsuit happen again! so that those who conceal the truth will not dare to speak flattery, and will not be convinced, and will not dare to deceive others by saying things against their will. This is called grasping the root, what is this root? It's sincerity and truthfulness! May the truth of things be as they are! ”

"How do I think I've heard this phrase somewhere?" Le Ge frowned and asked.

Zeng Zi smiled and replied: "This sentence 'Zi Yue' is quoted from the Analects of Yan Yuan. ”

"Oh? Hehehe! When he heard it, he laughed too.

It's true! This memory of yourself! How many years have passed, and there are still some memories!

"Uncle Le's good memory!" Zeng Zi said admiringly.

"Hehehe! I'm old! Lege laughed. And then! Urging: "Keep reading!" ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zengzi agreed.

This is called the knowledge of the book, and this is the knowledge of the best.

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

Zeng Zi explained: "Grasp the root of things, what is this root? It's sincerity and truthfulness! May the truth of things be as they are! That's the ultimate thing! ”

"Seek truth from facts! The same way! Le Ge replied.

"Seek truth from facts?" Zeng Zi asked puzzled.

"Go on! Read on. Lege urged.

He didn't want to explain to Zeng Zi about "seeking truth from facts", and he couldn't explain it clearly.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zengzi had to agree. And then! Read on.

The so-called sincere people, do not deceive themselves, such as the stench, such as lustful, this is called self-humility, so the gentleman must be cautious of his independence! The villain is not good at idleness, he goes to everything, and when he sees the gentleman, he is disgusted, covering up his badness, and focusing on his goodness. If a man sees himself as his lungs and liver, what good will it be! This is said to be sincere in the middle, and the form is outside, so the gentleman must be cautious of his independence. Zeng Zi said: "Ten eyes see, ten hands point, it is strict!" "Furun House, Derun Body, Broad Heart and Fat Body, so the gentleman will be sincere.

"What do you mean? You're also 'Zeng Zi said'? Interpret it! Le Ge looked at Zengzi and asked.

Zeng Zi smiled bitterly, and then said: "To be a sincere and true person, the so-called 'sincerity' means that don't deceive yourself." Like you hate the smell of rancidity, like you love beautiful women, everything comes from the heart. Therefore, a person of high moral character must be cautious even when he is alone. Pay attention to your heart, words and deeds, and examine whether you are at fault.

People of low moral character do not pay attention to these things in private, they do everything, thinking that others do not know. But! As soon as they see a virtuous person, they dodge and cover themselves up and boast about themselves. They don't know at all: the eyes of the masses are bright! Others look at you as clearly as they can see your own heart, lungs and liver, so what's the use of covering it up? This is called the fact that a person's true heart can be expressed through external behavior. So! There is no use in covering up. Therefore, a person of high moral character must be cautious even when he is alone.

Zeng Tzu said: Ten eyes look at you, and ten fingers point at you, isn't this terrifying? To be a person referred to by a thousand people, the consequences can be imagined!

Wealth can be used to decorate the house, but virtue can be used to cultivate the body and mind, so that the heart is broad-minded and the body is comfortable and healthy. Therefore, if you want to be a person of high moral character, you must first be a sincere and true person. Start with sincerity and authenticity! ”

"Bang Bang!" Lege applauded: "Good! That's a great point to say! ”

"Thank you! Thank you Uncle Le! Zeng Zi thanked gratefully.

Self-cultivation, to be a person of noble character, must be sincere and true! Dare to face yourself.

When a person is alone, don't think that others don't know, a person's true heart can be expressed in many ways. What you do is as if you are under the watchful eye of others, and others understand how you behave as clearly as if you were looking at your own internal organs! So! We have to be real! In the eyes of others, we have no secrets! Don't think you're smart! It's true: "If you don't want anyone to know, you can't do it unless you do."

Zeng Zi has repeatedly emphasized the importance of self-cultivation and self-cultivation. Other words! If we want social harmony and progress, we must improve the quality of the whole people. The key to improving the quality of the whole people lies in educating and guiding them with a correct outlook on life.
