"Joy in It" was an essay from the Analects of Confucius. The original text was as follows: The Master said,"The superior man is devoted to the root, and the root is established, so that the Tao arises. Is filial piety the root of benevolence? It is not enough to observe the glory of the country and the glory of the family." It meant: Confucius said,"A gentleman must pay attention to the fundamental and fundamental establishment of the Tao of morality before it can emerge as the times require. Is filial piety and brotherhood the foundation of benevolence? Only by observing the rise and fall of a country and the gains and losses of a family can you see the greatness of a country and a family."
In the Analects of Confucius, Fan Chi asked Confucius to learn how to plant vegetables. Confucius replied that he was not as good as the old gardener. After Fan Chi left, Confucius called Fan Chi a "villain." Here, Confucius called Fan Chi a " villain ", not a villain in the moral sense, but he thought that Fan Chi was concerned about the small aspects of the farm. According to Confucius 'concept, a gentleman should pay attention to such things as "propriety,""righteousness," and "faith" to govern the country and manage the people. If the superior could do these things, the people would naturally come to submit, and there was no need for him to do the farming. From this point of view, Confucius believed that a gentleman should focus on the larger political and moral governance level, and things like learning garden did not meet his expectations of a gentleman's behavior. A gentleman should devote himself to etiquette, righteousness, faith and other aspects to achieve a positive impact on the people. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Zilu's inquiry was an allusion left behind by Confucius during his travels around the world. On the way from Yeyi to the Kingdom of Cai, Confucius and his disciples were looking for the direction of the river ferry. This incident also implied their search for the direction of life and the road to salvation. At that time, Confucius met Changju and Jie Yan who were farming side by side. Confucius thought they were hermits, so he asked Zilu to inquire about the location of the ferry. When Changju learned that it was Confucius, he said to Zilu,"He is Zhijin." It meant that Confucius should know where the ferry was. Tsze-lu then went to ask Jie Yiran. Jie Yiran said,"The whole world is like the surging water. Who can replace it? Besides, rather than following a man who has escaped from the world, is it better to follow a man who has escaped from the world?" It meant that the world was the same everywhere, and no one could change it. Instead of following people who avoided tyrants and rebels (referring to Confucius), it was better to follow people who avoided troubled times (hermits like them). After saying that, the two of them continued to plow the fields. This allusion reflected the darkness of the chaotic world of the Spring and Autumn Period. People of insight such as Changju and Jie Yan chose to live in seclusion. They even wanted to persuade Confucius to avoid the world, but Confucius did not agree. He insisted on actively entering the world and tried his best to find ways to change the world. He chose to take a path that even sages and gentlemen did not dare to take. There are different opinions about the location of Zilu's inquiry, such as near Zilu Street, 15 kilometers southwest of Luoshan County, Henan Province (Zilu Street and Zilu River are named after this allusion, and there are local stone tablets about "Zilu's inquiry place" in Ming and Qing Dynasties), and some people think that it is in Ye County, Henan Province (there are ancient books, historical sites, legends, official history records of one of the eight scenic spots in Ye County, etc., and there is a village named Wencun on the road from Ye County to Shahe in the north, which is related to this allusion). <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

"The Analects of Confucius·Gongye Chang" about Boyi, Shuqi's original text is: "Boyi, Shuqi do not remember the past evil, resentment is with hope." The two brothers, Boyi and Shuqi, did not remember old grudges, so others had little resentment against them. Boyi and Shuqi were the two sons of Lord Lone Bamboo at the end of the Shang Dynasty. After their father died, they gave way to each other and fled to King Wen of Zhou. When King Wu of Zhou attacked King Zhou, they thought that he was killing the king as a subject, so they stopped in front of the horses to dissuade him. After the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty and unified the world, they were ashamed of eating the food of the Zhou Dynasty. They lived in seclusion on Mount Shouyang to pick weeds to satisfy their hunger. In the end, they starved to death in the mountains. In this chapter, Confucius praised Boyi and Shuqi for their good moral conduct of "forgiving old wrongs, forgiving and magnanimous". <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
The chapter "Zi Lu Cong Hou" comes from the Analects of Confucius. The main content was that Zilu followed Confucius out but fell behind. He met an old man (father-in-law) who was carrying weeding tools with a walking stick. Zilu asked the old man if he had seen Confucius. The old man replied,"If the four bodies are not diligent, the five grains cannot be distinguished. Who is the teacher?" Then he put down his crutch and began to weed. Zilu stood respectfully with his hands cupped. The old man then asked Zilu to stay, killed chickens and cooked for him, and even let his two sons meet Zilu. On the second day, Tian Zi Lu caught up with Confucius and told him about it. Confucius called the old man a hermit and asked Zi Lu to go back to pay his respects. When Zi Lu returned, the old man had already left. Zi Lu said that it was not reasonable not to be an official. The relationship between the elderly and the young could not be abolished, and the relationship between the monarch and the minister could not be abolished. The hermit wanted to keep himself clean but destroyed the ethical relationship between the monarch and the minister. The gentleman was an official to practice morality, although he knew that his ideas were difficult to realize. From a grammar point of view, this chapter has the word "Yun" in "Zhi Qi Gong Er Yun" and "Yun" in "Zhi Qi Gong Er Yun","Fan" in "Shi Zi Lu Fan Jian Zhi" and "Fan" in "Shi Zi Lu Fan Jian Zhi"; There are different meanings in ancient and modern times, such as "father-in-law" referring to the old man in the text; There are also flexible usages of parts of speech, such as "Jian" in "Jian Qi Er Zi Yan", which means to make... see;"Jie" in "Want to clean one's body" also means to make... clean. Different scholars had slightly different understandings of the translation and interpretation of the sentences in this chapter, such as the role of "and" in "from then" and the understanding of "using the staff to carry the lotus". However, the overall story conveyed the Confucian thoughts on the concept of the righteousness of monarch and minister, the integrity of the old and the young, and the hermit's attitude towards life. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
In the Analects of Confucius, the word "gentleman" referred to a person with noble moral character, correct behavior, and morality. They held on to qualities such as integrity, loyalty, and moral integrity, as opposed to the 'villains'(people with low moral character and who did not follow moral norms). For example, in politics, a gentleman's superior was easy to serve but difficult to please in an improper way. When they selected talents, they used them according to their ability and virtue. A gentleman regarded morality as the most important thing. He had to be brave and righteous at the same time, otherwise he would make trouble. A gentleman did not casually express his opinions on things he did not understand. A gentleman emphasized harmony and did not associate with evil. A gentleman paid attention to his own cultivation to respect others, stabilize others and even stabilize the people. These all reflected the different characteristics of a gentleman. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
