Chapter 957: What is a Good Man

"Read on!" Le Ge looked at Zeng Shen and nodded.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen agreed.

Zizhang asked the way of a good man, and Zi said: "If you don't practice it, you won't enter the room." ”

"What do you mean?"

Zeng Shen explained: "Zizhang asked how to be a good person. He said, "If you don't follow in the footsteps of good people and put them into practice, you will never be able to become a truly good person." ”

"What do you mean? What is a good person? Lege asked.

Zeng Shen said: "Good man! Perfect people. Or rather! People who meet the best standards. ”

"Oh?"

"Sir, mean! Practice makes sense! Only when we put our actions into practice can we be a perfect person, that is, a 'good person'. ”

"Oh?" Le Ge responded: "I thought I was a charitable person, a kind person!" ”

"It's not! He is a perfect, perfect person. It mainly refers to the perfection and perfection of morality! Zeng Shen explained.

"Oh? Good! Read on! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

This passage is a continuation of the above words, which means: Only when we practice can we achieve our goals and fulfill our wishes, ideals, and dreams. It's not enough to have ideals and dreams, that's what it means. I put it here as a warning and a reminder! Uncle Le! ”

"Oh? Good! Le Ge nodded and said, "It can be connected with the text above!" Good! Read on! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Zi said: "What about the gentleman? Who is the color of the village? ”

"What do you mean?"

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: When you hear people talking about being honest and sincere, you think that this person is honest and sincere, and this way of knowing people is wrong, and it is only viewed from the surface. Is this man a true gentleman? Or is it a person disguised as a dignified? ”

"Oh?" The song answered.

Zeng Shen further explained: "He wants his students to be not only honest and sincere, but also to be consistent with their words and deeds. ”

This is a continuation of the previous sentence! Right! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said: "We must not only have dreams, but also practice." But! We must be honest and sincere, and match our words with deeds. ”

"Hmmm! Good! ”

"Thank you, Uncle Le!"

"Read on!"

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Zilu asked, "Wen Si Xingzhu?" The son said: "There is a father and brother, how can you hear about it?" Ran You asked: "Wen Si Xingzhu?" Zi said: "Wen Si does it." ”

Gong Xihua said: "You also asked Wen Si Xingzhu, and the son said, 'There is a father and brother'; Chi is also confused, dare to ask. Zi said: "Ask for it and retreat, so enter; By also a person, so he retreated. ”

"Wait!" Lege stopped: "So many? Take it easy! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! ”33

"Interpret it! What does that mean? ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Zilu asked: When you hear a good suggestion, do you immediately implement it? The gentleman said: "If there is a father and brother, you should ask your father and brother first, how can you implement it immediately?" Ran You asked: When you hear a good suggestion, do you immediately implement it? The gentleman said: When you hear a good suggestion, you will implement it immediately.

Gong Xihua said to Mr.: Zhong You asked, 'When you hear a good suggestion, do you immediately implement it?' You replied, 'If you have a father and brother, you should ask your father and brother first,' and Ran asked, 'When you hear a good suggestion, do you immediately implement it?' You answer, 'When you hear a good suggestion, you will immediately implement it.'" I was confused and dared to ask again. Mr. said: Ran You's character is always withdrawn, so I encourage him; Nakayu's character is so brave, so I restrain him. ”

"Hehehe!" Le Ge listened and laughed.

"Uncle Le?" Zeng Shen looked at Le Ge and asked puzzledly.

"I remember Kong Li said: His father speaks by mood. Over here! Isn't it another proof? Of course! It is based on the understanding of the hole carp when it was a child. Or rather! If you don't know your husband Confucius, is that what happened? Le Ge asked.

Zeng Shen paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes!" Uncle Le! But! My husband's intentions are good! My sir's thinking is consistent! No malice towards people! It's not fooling people! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! It's not fooling people! He is teaching people according to their aptitude, seeing what people say. Not a bad guy, but a good one! That's it! Zeng Shen! You can't say bad things about your husband, as long as you mention it, you will be in a hurry with me! Ok, good, good! Read on! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Confucius gave different answers to the same question in response to the different situations of Zilu and Ran Qiu, vividly reflecting a characteristic of Confucius's educational method: teaching students according to their aptitude.

Zi is afraid of Kuang, after Yan Yuan. Zi said: "I take women as death." He said: "The son is here, how dare you die?" ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked habitually.

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. was besieged by the locals in Kuangdi, and Yan Hui was the last one to escape. The gentleman said, "I thought you were dead." Yan Hui said: Teacher, you are still alive, how dare I die? ”

"What do you mean?"

Zeng Shen explained: "Yan Hui means: I still have to serve Mr. ”

"Oh?"

Zeng Shen explained: "It can be seen that Yan Hui's admiration for Confucius is willing to follow life and death. ”

"Or rather! Yan Hui meant: Teacher, you are still alive, how dare I die? Teacher, you still expect me to pass on your ideas and thoughts! Where do I dare to die? Where can you die? ”

"Yes!" Zeng Shen replied gratefully. "Thank you! Thank you Uncle Le1"

"Hehehe! Read on. ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Ji Ziran asked: "Zhong You and Ran Qiu can be described as ministers and?" Zi said: "I thought that the son was a different question, and I was between asking for it." The so-called ministers are the kings of the way, and they cannot be stopped. Today's cause and seek can be described as a minister. He said, "Then what about those who follow it?" The son said: "If you kill your father and the king, you will not obey." ”

"What do you mean?"

Zeng Shen explained: "Ji Ziran, a fellow of the Lu Guo Ji clan, asked Mr.: Can your students Zhong You and Ran Qiu be regarded as ministers? Mr. said: I thought you were asking someone else, but it turned out that you were asking Zhong You and Ran Qiu. The so-called minister is able to serve the monarch with the requirements of the way of Zhou Gong, and if this does not work, he would rather resign than do it. Now Zhong You and Ran Qiu can only be regarded as full courtiers. Ji Ziran said: Then will they follow Ji Shi in everything? The gentleman said, "They will not follow the murder of their father and the monarch." ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked puzzled.

Zeng Shen explained: "At that time, Ran Qiu and Zilu were both retainers of the Ji family, and Mr. warned Ran Qiu and Zilu: You should use the way of Zhou Gong to persuade the Ji family, don't make trouble, and if the Ji family doesn't listen, resign and don't do it." ”

"Who is Ji Ziran?"

"A fellow of the Ji clan, one of the three Huan of the Lu State."

"Oh?" Le Ge nodded and said, "He must be suspicious that Confucius's students are messing around with Ji's back, learning from the good and learning from the bad, right?" ”

"Yes!" Zeng Shen Dao.
