14.39? When Zi attacked Wei, someone passed the Confucius' gate and said, "What a heart!"
When Confucius was defending his country, a man passed by Confucius' door with a straw basket and said, "This is a man with will, and this sum is meaningful!"
"After a while, he added," how mean. It's so noisy that no one knows himself, so forget it. When the water is deep, I just walk over with my clothes on. When the water was shallow, I picked up my clothes and walked over. Confucius said, "What a decisive speech! In that case, there is nothing to blame him. "
Zhang's suggestion is simple, but Confucius can't follow Zhang's idea. Because he is Confucius, he has his own spiritual pursuit, and his heart will always be concerned about the country and the people. Although the world doesn't understand him and doesn't support him, although the road he chose is very difficult, he still insists on taking his own road. This is the difficulty of Confucius and the difficulty of saints.
Good Morning, everyone! Give a speech at night and realize your dream! Writing and speaking, seven times faster growth! The more you give, the more you get.
It's half past six again. Let's continue to study The Analects. As usual, let's review what we learned yesterday first.
Luz lives in Shimen. The morning gate said, "What about Xi Zi?" Lutz said, "Since Confucius." Yue: "Who knows what is impossible?"
Shimen is a city gate in the capital of Lu. When Luz got back to the city at night, it was already late, so he had to rest at the door for one night. The elf who got up to watch the door the next morning saw him and asked him where you came from. Say: come from the hole! It's coming from the hole. Chen men went on to say, is that Confucius who knows what he can't do?
The real meaning of this sentence lies in the last few words, knowing that you can't do it.
You can think about it. Confucius came with a mission from birth. He was smart and eager to learn, studied ancient books and culture, deepened social and contemporary exchanges, and constantly thought about China's cultural heritage.
At an early age, he showed unusual characteristics. With the growth of age, his knowledge is getting richer and richer, and he is getting to know this ancient cultural heritage more and more.
He just wants to get such an opportunity to govern the country and realize his ideals and ambitions. But in Lu, he had the opportunity to be the commander-in-chief, and later participated in the establishment of the phase. He once led the alliance in the canyon, which foiled Qi's plot and returned to his three cities. Later, because he was trapped in the three capitals, he was pushed out by Lu Jun and the Third Ring Road. In desperation, he traveled around the world for 14 years to show his political ambitions. But he didn't get what he wanted when he was away for such a long time, but he still didn't give up his ideals and pursuits. He turned his energy to education and became the most sacred teacher in China.
His spirit is actually the spirit of knowing what not to do. I can't give up because I said I might not get the result, and I may not see the result for a while, because my own affairs are beneficial to future generations and I must persist!
In this respect, we should learn from Confucius in particular. Countless people with lofty ideals in China who shed blood for the people of China are basically the same people. They have their own beliefs, paid their own efforts and sweat, and have today, and we should be grateful.
Ok, I briefly reviewed yesterday's content, and today we will learn new content. This chapter is still about hermits. The last chapter is the hermit, which points out the problems of Confucius. The essence is knowing what not to do.
In this chapter, the hermit is also very simple, called Mr. He. Look at the original text first, chapter 39 of The Analects of Confucius.
14.39 attacked Wei, and people passing by Kong's door said, "What a mind!" Then he said, "What a pity! Hey! You don't know yourself, you just know yourself. Deep is sharp, shallow is dew. Confucius said, "What a fruit! It is very difficult in the end. "
Let's translate this sentence briefly first, that is, when Confucius lived in defending the country. One day, I played chin at home and entertained myself. Attention, everyone, there is a stone under this Qing dynasty, not countless books later, nor musical instruments.
Everyone knows Confucius, who has profound attainments and exquisite knowledge of music. He can't sing, and he can't play what we say occasionally, Song Like!
His playing level is quite excellent in all aspects, not only playing this piece, but expressing an emotion through this piece, just like we said.
At this time, a man passed by his door with a straw basket and stopped when he heard the sound of his beating. He stopped, sighed and said, "What a heart!" So this is a proud man, and you can hear something when he hits his chin.
This is equivalent to the legendary Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi. I can tell what he is playing by listening to the local piano. This is the sound of running water, and that is the appearance of mountains.
This shows that this person is not an ordinary person who simply picks baskets. Although his present position is very ordinary, in fact, he is an expert. It is quite difficult to know his elegance just by listening to string songs.
Then the man continued to listen, shook his head and said, "What a shame! Hey! You don't know yourself, you just know yourself. Deep is sharp, shallow is dew. "
In other words: you are still contemptuous, not cultured enough, or you are embarrassed to listen to the voice. This is knocking at a stone. The voice is contemptuous, stubborn and resentful. There are just a lot of unwilling voices, a lot of complaints, a lot of complaints, and a lot of emotions in it. These emotions you express are nothing but nothingness. Nobody knows you, nobody understands you, and nobody uses you.
Just yourself. Aren't you knocking yourself? Complaining that you have no talent? Your heart is really big!
The man then enlightened Confucius, using a sentence in the Book of Songs: deep is sharp, shallow is dew!
What is this sentence for? It's about crossing the river. When crossing the river, if the river is deep, it can flood your chest and even your neck. At this time, you will take off your clothes and want to keep it intact and not wet. Is it okay? This will not work. You will only live with your clothes on. Because you are holding your clothes, the water is deep and urgent, washed away and your life is gone. What is the use of clothes?
When it is shallow, you can grab the hem of the clothes by hand and lift it up, but it doesn't reach the calf. Just carry your trouser legs in a small river ditch. These are two completely different concepts. It's just different
What does he mean by saying that? Is now the society is too dark, the water flooded to the neck, and you still want to roll up your trouser legs and cross the river, just as the last chapter said, why do it for him when you know you can't!
Why do you keep clothes when you know you can't keep them? Listen to what your bell sounds like. This is actually to persuade Confucius: you should either agree or live in seclusion like me. If I don't care, why don't I care?
Has Confucius ever heard of basket pickers? The music critic sighed and said, "Fruit! It is very difficult in the end. " In other words, it is really decisive. In that case, I have nothing to refute or discuss.
What the hell does that mean? We are different and have no common goal! Taking the hermit route is your choice and pursuit. I want to take the initiative to do things with a proactive attitude. Although I said I was not valued, I still tried to learn. This is my ideal and pursuit. We have different ways, so it is difficult to respect each other and can't agree with each other. We can't follow you or you can follow me.
Through such words, we don't know if we can hear them. There are many ideas in it.
First of all, Confucius hit it with one blow, conveying the sigh that he had no talent, no one could appreciate it, and his ambition could not be displayed.
Isn't everyone saying that Confucius always comforted others? A gentleman puts himself in the other's shoes and goes with the flow? Didn't you always tell everyone that you can do it if you use it, and you can hide it if you give it up? Didn't I tell you not to worry about what you don't know and what you don't know? Didn't you say you can't get sick if you don't know?
Then Confucius also said: Tao is no good, can you fork and float on the sea? Didn't Confucius say: If the river doesn't draw pictures, Luo can't publish books. Am I a widower?
Confucius said so many things when he advised his disciples. Why does he still have so much reluctance in it?
Actually, you can think about it. Everyone has feelings, not machines or animals. Just doing things. He has a mind.
People with thoughts, pursuits and goals all want to do something. I think this is the wish of most of us, and it is not just the wish of Confucius. He knows the above reasons, because after seeing through the facts, he knows that many things can't be forced.
But how can you say that he is not in the mood at all? How can you not be in the mood? People have emotions and will be influenced by them. At this time, he needs an outlet. He can't talk to people because he said it himself. Don't complain, don't do anything.
Don't complain, it doesn't mean he doesn't! Just because we don't want garbage doesn't mean we don't have garbage. So what should we do? If expressed through the channel of music (percussion), it is equivalent to venting emotions, and then it will be fine.
It's kind of like us lesbians. When we see angry things, there are several channels to vent. Some will embarrass their husbands, some will blame their children, some will kick cats, some will read books, some will watch TV or anyway, find various channels to vent, and it will be over after venting.
If the fire makes him hold back, she will feel very uncomfortable, unhappy all day, unhappy, but even worse.
This kind of emotion is seen through by the person in charge, that is, the person who picks the basket, indicating that there is a bosom friend. But after all, two people are different. The basket picker told him that you should either live in seclusion, be a hermit like me and take care of nothing. Or if you want to cross the river, you don't have to worry about wearing clothes or moral integrity. Why don't you just follow them?
Who is Confucius? He is a saint. He cares about the country and the people. He would never do that. This is his value. He has made great contributions to China and all mankind, just because he joined the WTO and knew what he could not do.
I don't know what you think of Confucius as an official. Some people will say that Confucius has a problem. What's the problem? It is his ability that is flawed, and he is not sure about his position. He positioned himself as a politician, but politicians must have circles, compromises, deals and priorities.
Confucius didn't even talk about this! This is what Huashan said, but I think Confucius did it just because he had a strong sense of justice and it was difficult for him to be adept in officialdom.
Constrained by all parties, he could not compromise and reached certain common interests, so in the end, although his position was already high, he was excluded at a critical time. This was also Confucius' disappointment, but it was also the fate and result of his character.
If he could really live within his means and be a good official, there might not be Confucius today, so it is not a bad thing that he lost a corner and harvested mulberry trees.
The other is the position of Confucius in the world. He is basically equivalent to the Buddha in India, Sakyamuni and Jesus in the West. But he didn't establish a religion.
Supposedly, if he established a religion, he could establish it, but he didn't. Why?
He insisted on the principle of knowing what he knew and not knowing what he didn't know, and refused to make a god for everyone. If what he said is not true, what I said is what God said. The people want to listen, and so does the king. Anyway, look at western theists and western religions. All people are equal, as long as they listen to whom. Unlike China, there is no God in China, and the people are God. So there are more people's hierarchies.
Confucius also stressed: Zi said nothing about the confusion. There is little flexibility and destiny, and the most common things are often used in daily life, so Confucianism has not become a religion.
There is another problem, that is, he did not answer the three questions of philosophy, the three questions of man, one is how did man come from? Second, how did heaven and earth come from? Where I come from, where people die. He didn't answer, which is a common concern.
Therefore, after Buddhism entered China, it soon entered China, almost replacing Confucianism and becoming the long-term mainstream ideology in China.
But Confucius disagreed. Confucius said that these are things he has never seen before, just to confuse fools and deceive people.
Therefore, politics alone is not enough, or disdainful. He refused to make up stories when he was engaged in religion, so he had to engage in education and became the most sacred teacher, Confucius.
Is this his emotional expression?
However, his fate has doomed him to be an educator, and it is his fate to stay forever.
Saints also have difficulties, Confucius' difficulties and saints' difficulties, but it is this difficulty that inspired him and made him a saint of Confucius. So for us, it is nothing to encounter difficulties and hardships. Who hasn't? The key is what we can learn from it, whether we have our own principles and stick to them, and live high!
Time is up for this chapter, and that's it. Tomorrow morning we will continue to the next chapter.
Zhang Zishuo: "The book says,' The emperor was tolerant and tolerant, and kept silent for three years'. What is it?" Confucius said, "Why Emperor Gaozong? People in ancient times were all natural. Jun Qiu Baiguan has been listening to Zhuze for three years. "
What does this mean? Let's study and discuss together tomorrow morning. Thank you for listening. See you tomorrow.
