The Analects of Confucius and Yan Yuan's Comprehension
The Analects of Confucius, Yan Yuan Chapter, had many points that were worth pondering and comprehending. In terms of benevolence, this chapter deeply explored the meaning and practice of benevolence. When Yan Yuan asked about benevolence, Confucius gave the answer of " self-restraint and returning to propriety is benevolence." This revealed that benevolence was not an abstract concept, but a state of moral cultivation achieved by restraining oneself and making words and deeds conform to propriety. This reflected the importance that Confucianism attached to personal self-cultivation, and it inspired people to constantly examine their own behavior and achieve moral improvement through self-restraint. From the perspective of interpersonal relationships, there was a lot of wisdom contained in it. For example," A gentleman helps others achieve their good deeds, but does not do their evil deeds." It advocated that people should actively promote the good deeds of others and stay away from the behavior of destroying others 'affairs. This was helpful in building positive and healthy interpersonal relationships. At the same time, the whole text reflected the systematic and coherent nature of the Confucian ideology. For example, it resonated with other chapters on how to be a man and the moral character of a gentleman. Together, they constructed the overall concept of Confucianism on the growth of people and the construction of social order. This suggests that when we study the classics, we should not look at the chapters in isolation, but should grasp the context of Confucianism as a whole to better understand its core values and apply it to modern society, the improvement of moral cultivation, and the construction of social harmony. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

The Analects of Confucius Yan Yuan Chapter 12 Comprehension and Experience
The twelfth chapter of the Yan Yuan Chapter of The Analects of Confucius contains many profound meanings. From Yan Hui's question about Confucius '"self-restraint and return to propriety", which meant "do not see, hear, speak, or move if it is not polite", one could understand how difficult it was to put it into practice. First of all, it was necessary to clarify the specific performance of "ceremony" in life. Confucius did not give a "standard answer" and needed to understand and capture it with "living thinking". Yan Hui's high perception was reflected here. He could quickly understand how to do it, which was difficult for ordinary people to achieve. This chapter also allowed people to understand the content of self-cultivation. In all kinds of situations in life, whether it was dealing with the different ways of dealing with the family when the child was sick, or the emotional damage he had caused to the child's homework in the past, it reflected that Ying Xiu himself emitted positive resonance information, adjusted his vision and focus, and avoided negative infiltration. Just like studying the 12th chapter of the Yan Yuan Chapter, every time he read it, he might gain something new. There might be some " fish that slipped through the net " in the previous reading, and he would read it from time to time. At the same time, the wisdom in this chapter could also be applied to the educational behavior of life. For example, the answer to the child's concept of " angel " and " demon " could also be learned from the relevant wisdom. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
