Chapter 10: Fat Uncle and Fat Nephew

The Analects is a very special book, not only because it is difficult to find ideas, but more importantly, because the Analects ...... , it is almost impossible to integrate.

Anyway, it took more than two years for the Confucian thief Xiaopang to find a more reliable editor's idea that he thought was more reliable.

Whether this is the case or not, he himself is not sure, because he knows very well that before he dies in this life, if he can integrate the "Analects", then he will not come to the world in vain.

Now, it's far from being a thorough understanding, at most it's just a complete understanding.

Of course, in fact, if you integrate the Analects, you don't have to spend a lifetime concentrating on thinking about it, and it will take about five years at most, or maybe a year or so, to eat the entire Analects into your stomach.

The reason why he didn't eat it was because he was too lazy and didn't want to bother with it, and secondly, because he vaguely felt that he didn't have to integrate it, so after finding the line of thought that he thought was reliable, he never read the Analects again.

For at least ten years, he had not touched the good book that had been sealed by him in a grocery bag, and now the bag that sealed the book was all black, and he could only barely see the word Analects on the cover.

Whether this is right or not, in fact, he doesn't know it himself, but, anyway, this matter is not harmful, and it has nothing to do with others, so he decided to let himself go, and he sealed the book directly.

The reason why he didn't read what he thought he thought was comprehensible, and he directly sealed the book, naturally there were several reasons why he thought he was not too wrong.

I can't say what the idea of the Analects is, because it is very troublesome to describe and not necessarily correct, but the reason for his closure of the book, the reason why he thinks it will not be too wrong, can be talked about indiscriminately.

There are three reasons for this, the first is that the content of the Analects is too fragmented, and basically all of them are isolated and valuable fragments. Second, because they are all small quotes, it is impossible to see every small sentence, the preface and the afterword, and not the whole appearance of the treasure. Third, although they are all fragments, they are all very valuable, they are carefully selected by the editors, and they are all hidden...... , a very deep meaning.

Therefore, the Confucian thief Xiaopang felt that the "Analects" was simply an encyclopedia of Confucianism, and like ordinary encyclopedias, it was a book that roughly described a bunch of knowledge, but the "Analects" did not describe the knowledge of natural science, but the knowledge of the overall thought of Confucianism.

In the Analects, there are ways to read books, principles of doing things, benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, and filial piety, serious topics about governing the country and the family, and interesting things between sages and sages in ordinary times...... Blah, blah, blah, a whole bunch of stuff.

However, one cannot become a scientist by reading an encyclopedia, and in the same way, although the things described in the Analects are very valuable and very rich, even if they are fully comprehended, they will not become benevolent, or even ...... , not Confucianism!

This is the reason why he does not read the book, not only because the Confucian thief is lazy by nature, but the most important reason is that he feels that he has no use in reading it any longer, if he can't reach the realm described in the book, and can't turn the things recorded in the book into his own use, so that he can become better, happier, more relaxed, and more wise, then he can't read the Analects...... , and what is the use?

After sealing the Analects, there was a time when his nephew, who was also a chubby elementary school student, suddenly recited some famous sayings from the Analects in front of him.

Then, he asked his fat nephew why he was carrying these things.

After listening to Uncle Fat's question, the fat nephew's eyes immediately widened, and with a look of disbelief, as if he was looking at illiteracy, he replied to his fat uncle in shock: "This is the Analects! When you were in elementary school, didn't the teacher ask you to memorize it?"

So, the fat uncle flickered to the fat nephew: "We were relaxed at that time, we didn't have to memorize any texts, we listened well in class every day, and we could write homework or not." When I was out of school, I went to the arcade with my friends almost every day, and I basically didn't score 90 points in exams. The Analects are useless, so why are you memorizing these things from hundreds of years ago?"

The little fat nephew is a very good and very honest little boy, so after listening to his fat uncle's words, he was directly stunned, and after looking at his fat uncle for a while with an almost dull gaze, he muttered in a low voice that was extremely unconvinced: "You definitely lied to me, how can there be such a good thing." After saying that, there was a bitter expression on his face.

Therefore, the fat uncle took his mother out and said to his nephew: "Ah, am I such a big person, will I still lie to you? If you don't believe it, go and ask your grandmother, did I ever take the test below 90 points when I was a child?" โ€

Of course, this is a lie, although he usually does well in the exam, but because he often draws on the exam paper and does not answer a word, or directly takes advantage of the good opportunity of the exam to skip school, he also has dozens of duck eggs.

However, he calculated his mother accurately, and it was impossible for him to tell the fat little nephew about this kind of ugly thing, so he had no fear to wait for the little nephew to pursue the answer.

So, it didn't take long for the fat nephew to return to the fat uncle with a look of envy and jealousy.

"At that time, you must have learned everything very simpleโ€”โ€”!" After a short silence, the fat nephew suddenly raised his head and shouted at the fat uncle with an angry face.

Therefore, of course, the fat uncle looked at him with a sneer, and asked him a question lightly: "A gentleman has nothing to eat, no place to live, he is sensitive to things and cautious in words, he has the right way and righteousness, and he can be said to be studious." I dare to say, you ...... , don't understand what that means. "Then, of course, I have to put on a pretense that I am a peerless master, so that I can be imposing.

Elementary school students, most of them are stupid teachers who tell them to do something, they do it honestly, and the teacher just mechanically asks students to memorize, and they don't ask students to understand at all, and they can't tell a reason for it.

In this way, the fat nephew, whose self-esteem was seriously frustrated, looked at it in a daze for a while, and after his own villain fat uncle, he cried silently.

He didn't understand the meaning of those old sayings, and the villain fat uncle would never explain them to him, because it was useless to talk about them, and it hindered his own independent thinking.

And his fat nephew is really good, and he doesn't need to know those ancient texts from 2,000 years ago.

So, after picking up the kite made by the uncle and nephew together, and making a bunch of delicious and fun promises, the fat uncle and his friend the fat little nephew held hands again and ran out to play together.
