"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen lowered his head and admitted.

"You're testing me again! Right! Le Ge said angrily.

"Uncle Le! No! I'm sorry! ”

"Not? Since it's not, then where is the excuse? Le Ge asked.

"I'm sorry! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen explained: "On the surface, it is talking about benevolence and so on, but it is actually metaphorical! ”

"Metaphorical?" Le Ge's eyes widened and he asked, "What metaphor?" Tell me about it! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

"Uncle Le! On the surface, this article is Yan Hui and others asking about benevolence, politics, etc., and the content of Mr.'s answers is the character we want to learn. But! And that's just the face value. And what it really means ......"

"What is it? Say! Le Ge glared at Zeng Shen and asked.

"Uncle Le!" Zeng Shen replied: "Actually! What I want to say is: we have to be good ourselves! The body is not afraid of crooked shadows! Uncle Le! The real meaning of 'Yan Yuan Chapter' is this: only when we have excellent quality, we are not afraid of anything! Uncle Le! Self-denial and revenge mainly depend on one's own quality! Uncle Le! ”

"Oh?" Lege nodded and replied.

I thought: The ancients were really very good! Is there another set behind the surface? There is a layer of meaning on the surface, and there is a layer of metaphor behind it! Hey! If you don't take it seriously, you really don't know the other meaning expressed in the "Yan Yuan Chapter".

As Zeng Shen said: on the surface! It was the students who asked Confucius what benevolence, wisdom, and so on were. If we do what Confucius said, we will be able to attain benevolence and wisdom. But! And that's just the face value. And behind the surface, there is another layer of meaning.

The meaning behind Yan Yuan's chapter in the Analects is: Iron must be hard by itself!

Only when our moral character is excellent, can we become benevolent and be consistent on the outside!

If you want to become a saint, you have to have excellent quality!

In fact! In the opening chapter of the Yan Yuan chapter of "The Analects", the topic has been pointed out to remind everyone to pay attention. That is: self-denial and retribution.

What do you mean? Don't take it at face value, but! We need to have excellent quality! That's what it means.

Imagine! Your own quality is not too strong, and you only know the truth of "self-denial and revenge", but you can't do it. So! It's all for nothing.

"I'm sorry! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen explained: "Actually! My intention in arranging the 'Yan Yuan Chapter' is very simple, that is: I hope everyone will improve their own quality! Only by improving their own quality can they achieve their goals! Only then can we become benevolent and wise! Uncle Le! ”

"Hmm!" Lege hummed.

"Actually! The beginning is clear! Uncle Le! ”

"Oh?"

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: Restraining one's selfish desires is for the sake of benevolence. Restraining one's selfish desires and doing everything according to the requirements of the rites is benevolence. Once this is done, everything under heaven will be restored. The practice of benevolence lies entirely in oneself, and does it depend on others? ”

"Oh?" Le Ge responded: "Zi said: self-denial is benevolence." One day of self-denial and revenge, the world will return to benevolence. For the sake of benevolence, but by others? ”

"Yes!"

"Hey, hey! You kid! All right! You're testing me! Hey! It is! I've read the whole article, and I still feel like I'm not finished. Originally! Not what you said before! Hey! You? ”

"I'm sorry! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen apologized. And then! Tentatively asked, "So?" Can this one be finalized? ”

"Wait!" Le Ge raised his right hand and stopped: "Since you are playing with me!" Then you can interpret it in its entirety! Let's give an overview of the whole article! Hey! You test me, you play me! Hey! ”

"I'm sorry! Uncle Le! ”

"Let's wrap it up!" Lege urged.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen responded like a mourner.

I thought: I'm asking for myself! I?

"'Yan Yuan Chapter' begins with Yan Hui asking Ren, and then Mr. 's answer. In fact! It's already the beginning. After that, Zhong Gong asked Ren, and Mr. replied 'Do not do to others what you would not do to yourself', in fact, it is the same: it is also a reminder to us: be tough on yourself! It is necessary to improve one's own moral cultivation. ”

"Oh?" Lege asked.

Zeng Shen said again: "Next! It's Sima Niu Wenren. The gentleman replied that he should be 'cautious', didn't he? In fact! It also wants us to improve our own moral cultivation! ”

"Oh? So what's next? Lege asked.

Zeng Shendao: "Sima Niu asked the gentleman, and the gentleman replied, 'Only with a clear conscience can we not be sad and fearful', isn't it?" ”

"Hmmm! And after that! ”

"A clear conscience requires us to improve our cultivation! Isn't it? ”

"Hmmm! Go on! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! "I have responded to the Dao." Next! It was the gentleman who gave us confidence and asked, "Are we alone?" ”

Le Ge touched his beard and asked, "Is there a lonely one in the 'Yan Yuan Chapter'?" ”

"Yes!" Zeng Shen replied affirmatively.

"Where?"

"Sima Niu said worriedly: Everyone has brothers, and I die alone."

"This?" The music song is puzzled.

Zeng Shen explained: "We are all brothers in the four seas, we are not alone!" ”

"I see!" Only then did Lege understand.

I thought: Zeng Shen is clearly playing me! Brain teasers?

"Next is: Zizhang Wenming. The gentleman replied: "The infiltration, the skin suffering, not doing it, can be said to be far away." ”

"Oh?"

"Actually! What Mr. means: we must have a strong heart, and we must have excellent psychological quality and psychological endurance! Uncle Le! These words were taught to me by Uncle Le! Isn't it? ”

"This?" Le Ge replied and said, "Go on!" ”

"Next: Zigong asks about politics, Thorn Zicheng asks about the form and substance, Mourning Gong asks Youruo, Zizhang asks Chongde to discern confusion, Qi Jinggong asks about politics, Zizhang asks about politics, Zizhang asks about politics, and ......"

"Why did it get to 'asking politics' again?" Lege asked.

Zeng Shen replied: "This is looking for the root, the root!" Uncle Le! Here is to explain the roots, the roots! ”

"Oh?" The music song seems to understand whether it understands or not.

Ji Kangzi asked Confucius about politics. Confucius said, "Politicians are right." Zi Shuai is upright, who dares to be upright? ”

Zeng Shen explained: "Actually! That's the core! Uncle Le! Ji Kangzi asked Mr. how to govern the country. The gentleman replied, "Politics means righteousness." You yourself are leading the way in the right way, so who else dares not to follow the right path? ”

"Oh?"

"Actually! This is also the original intention of my arrangement of 'Yan Yuan Chapter'! We have to be right! Only when we take the lead in the right path will others follow us and follow us in the right path. If you can't take the right path yourself, if you can't do it, how can you ask others? Isn't it? Uncle Le! Do you want me to read it? 'Yan Yuan Chapter'? ”

"This?"

"So?" Zeng saw that Uncle Lege Lege was overturned, and quickly asked, "Or?" That's how the 'Yan Yuan Chapter' was finalized? Uncle Le? ”

"You can do it yourself!" Le Ge waved his hand and said, "I can't correct the Analects for you!" Zengzi! You can! You? I can't be your teacher anymore! You can! ”

"Uncle Le! I'm sorry! Zeng Shen quickly apologized.

"I'm incompetent! I don't see your metaphor, another meaning behind your arrangement. And! This meaning is still the main meaning, the main idea! Alas! Shame on you! I can't be your teacher anymore! Let's go! ”

"Uncle Le! I'm sorry! ”
