From Confucius' The Analects of Confucius, The Spring and Autumn Period and Luz: "Confucius said:' A good man can be a country for a hundred years, or he can win a hundred battles and kill his disability. "Sincerity is language!" "
In this chapter, Confucius quoted the words of the ancients, in which "a good man can serve the country for a hundred years, or he can win the battle and kill the disabled." These two sentences were said by the ancients before Confucius, and there is only the following sentence: "Honesty means words!" It is Confucius' own words, that is, Confucius' feelings and comments on those two sentences of the ancients.
A good man is not as virtuous as a gentleman, but he is much better than a persistent person. Serve the country and govern the country. A hundred years, a hundred years. It is assumed that good people govern the country, that is, several good people govern for a hundred years in a row, and the result is that "it is also possible to defeat and kill the disabled."
Adverb, also, also, also. Yes, you can. It may also be "winning and killing". The tone of this sentence expressed in the language of the ancients is "can" and it is speculation. This is a saying that "it is good for the country for a hundred years".
Extended data
"Good man" is rarely mentioned in The Analects of Confucius, but it is also a very important concept in Confucianism.
There is a note in Song and Zhu's Notes on Four Books and Sentences: "Those who are kind, those who are determined to be kind, have no evil." It means that if you are determined to be benevolent, you won't do bad things. Anyone can be benevolent, but people always have lust and evil thoughts. In the process of taking benevolence as the goal, some people have not always adhered to benevolence, that is, they have not been constant, thus becoming villains or fools.
A really good man does not achieve evil, that is, he achieves constancy in the process of taking benevolence as the purpose, and finally does not achieve evil. So from this perspective, a good person is the embodiment of the quality of "benevolence". The realization of "benevolence" is the goal that Confucius pursued all his life, but he never realized it. According to Confucius, good people may be the best implementers of "benevolence", but unfortunately, good people have disappeared during Confucius' period.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius' The Analects of Confucius Zi Han IX not only exhausted my talents, but also stood out. Although I want to follow it, I have no reason. "I have exhausted my talents and seem to be able to work independently. If you want to take a step forward, you don't know how to start.
Yan Hui is the most studious of all Confucius' disciples. When learning Confucius' knowledge, he knew that Confucius' Tao was profound. Although he studied hard, it was difficult to make a new breakthrough after learning to a certain extent, so he sent out the feeling that "I have exhausted my talents and made a difference." Then, although a good man has perseverance, it is difficult for him to enter his room.
Therefore, perseverance is a necessary condition to become a good person, but it is not a necessary condition for a good person to become a saint. And the way of being kind, on the road of constancy, can never realize the way of being a saint.
Good people can also reach the realm of saints through "learning". The reason why they can't reach it is because the characteristics of "benevolence" of good people limit the possibility of "learning". "Good people" are the embodiment of talent and benevolence. Because of talent, you can "win" without practicing. Because Ren inherited the virtue of the son of heaven, he served the monarch with his way and safeguarded the authority and rule of the monarch, so he "didn't enter the room".
