Chapter 988 Confucius talks about the gentleman
Zeng Shen looked at Uncle Legole, and after a pause, he further explained: "The calendar of the Xia Dynasty is convenient for agricultural production. β
"Oh?" Lege nodded in response.
"Yin Zhi θΎ: θΎ, pronounced lΓΉ, the car in which the Son of Heaven sits. The cars of the Yin Dynasty were made of wood and were relatively simple. β
"Oh?" Le Ge responded: "Modern cars are not only made of copper, but also very luxurious. It's too extravagant, it's too wasteful. β
"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said. Then he went on to explain: "The crown of Zhou: the hat of the Zhou Dynasty. The hats of the Zhou Dynasty were simplified in craftsmanship and were gorgeous. So! Highly regarded by Mr. β
"Oh?" The song answered.
Zeng Shen continued: "Shao Dance: It is the dance music of Shun Shi. Mr. believes that Shao music is perfect, and it can better reflect the atmosphere of singing and dancing. β
"Oh?"
"Mr. thinks: Zheng Guo's music is very lewd and indulgent. It will make people think wrong and go astray! So! He doesn't admire. Opposite! And strongly opposed! β
"Oh?"
"The other thing is: alienate the pigtails!"
"Hmmm! Good! Read on! Le Ge said.
"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.
Zi said: "People have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries." β
"Interpret it!" Le Ge said.
"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: If a person does not have long-term consideration and planning, he will inevitably encounter some troublesome things. β
"If you have a long-term plan, there will be no worries?" Lege argued.
"Yes!" Zeng Shen said: "What Mr. means is: People who have long-term plans will also encounter troubles. But! That's just in the process of achieving the ideal. When we achieve the predetermined goal, that is, when we have realized the long-term consideration and intention, we will have fewer worries. β
"Makes sense! But! Be sure to make your words clear. Otherwise! Others still think that after long-term thinking and planning, there will be no more worries! β
"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.
"Actually! You arranged these contents here, all of them are for the service of 'Wei Linggong', and they are all accusing or targeting Wei Linggong, right? Isn't it? β
"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.
"Hmmm! Good! β
"The whole article is for the service of 'Wei Linggong', and it is all about Wei Linggong! Uncle Le! β
"Got it! Read on! β
"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.
Life must be planned! Only when we have a plan for life can we be mentally prepared in the face of difficulties!
Zi said: "It's over! I have not seen a virtuous person like a lustful person. β
"What do you mean? Interpret it! Lege asked.
Zeng Shen explained: "Confucius said: "It's over, I have never seen a person who is so obsessed with benevolence and virtue as lustful. β
"I know! Hasn't this been said before? Is this a duplicate? β
"Not repeated! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen explained: "This is a reminder! β
"Reminder?"
"Important things to say three times! My husband said that! β
"Learn from the past!"
"Yes! Thank you Uncle Le! Zeng Shen thanked him.
"You are emphasing: Wei Linggong is lustful and immoral!"
"Yes!"
"Read on!"
"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.
Zi said: "Zang Wenzhong's stealer and! Knowing the sage of Hui under the willow and not standing with him. β
"What do you mean?" Lege asked.
Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: Zang Wenzhong is an incompetent official who stole his official position!" He knew that Yanagishita Hui was a virtuous man, but he did not recommend him to be an official together. β
"What about Zang Wenzhong? Or are they the officials under Wei Linggong? Still is? What about the officials under the Son of Heaven and the princes and kings? β
Zeng Shen looked at Le Ge and smiled, and said, "Let history judge!" Let those who understand judge it! β
"Hehehe!" When he heard it, he laughed too.
He didn't expect that Zeng Shen would occasionally be a little naughty in front of him.
Liuxia Hui: In the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, the doctor of Lu Guo, the surname Zhan Ming, also known as the bird, the place name he was named is Liuxia, Hui is his private advice, so people call it Liuxia Hui.
The allusion of Megumi Yanashita sitting and not messing up, leaving a name in history.
Zi said: "If you bow to yourself and blame others, you will be far from resentful." β
"What do you mean?" Lege asked.
Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: Do more practical things for others with due diligence and less blame others for not doing things well, then you can avoid the resentment of others." β
"Is this a continuation of the previous sentence? You mean Zang Wenzhong and Yanagi Megumi, right? Let history judge the merits and demerits! β
"Yes! Uncle Le! β
"Good! Read on! β
"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.
When people get along with each other, it is inevitable that there will be various contradictions and disputes. Then, when dealing with others, we should think more about others and look at problems from the perspective of others. Once a conflict arises, people should make more self-criticism, instead of blindly blaming others for wrongdoing. Being strict with oneself and being lenient with others is an indispensable principle for maintaining good and harmonious interpersonal relationships.
Zi said: "If you don't say, 'as it is, as it is', then I will be like it." β
"What do you mean?" Lege asked habitually.
Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: A person who never says 'what to do, what to do' when encountering problems, I don't know what to do with this kind of person, how to help him!" β
Le Ge frowned and asked puzzledly, "I still haven't understood!" β
Zeng Shen further explained: "Mr. is anxious about what others are anxious about, for those who don't like to talk, those who don't like to ask others, and those who don't communicate with others, Mr. has no way to help them: he wants to help them but can't help!" β
"Oh? That's what it means? Lege nodded.
"Yes! Uncle Le! β
"Read on!"
"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.
Zi said: "Living in a group all day long, words are not righteous, good deeds are small, it is difficult!" β
"What do you mean?" Lege asked.
Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: It is really difficult to teach this kind of person who gathers with others all day long, says unrighteous words, and likes to show off his cleverness. β
"It's a villain! Oh, yes! β
"Hmm!" Zeng Shen Dao.
"Your husband said: Only women and villains in the world are difficult to raise! Hahaha! β
"Hehehe!" Zeng Shen looked at the music song and laughed in agreement.
"Read on!"
"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.
Confucius was very disgusted with this kind of clever and unrighteous people! These people can't be trained either! It's a headache and a worry.
Zi said: "The gentleman takes the righteousness as the quality, the etiquette is the practice, the grandson is the out, and the faith is the success." Gentleman! β
"What do you mean?" Lege asked.
Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: A gentleman takes righteousness as the foundation of doing things, uses etiquette as the standard of behavior, expresses it with humble language, and completes it with a loyal attitude, which is a gentleman." β
"What is your gentleman talking about!"
"Yes! Uncle Le! β
"Good!" Lege nodded.
Confucius explained what a gentleman is from these aspects! This refers to the true gentleman, not the honorific title of the "gentleman" above. A gentleman who honorifies others and addresses some people is not a true gentleman!
