Why did Confucius say, "Why for me?"
In The Analects of Confucius and Zi Han, Confucius said, "If you go out, you will be responsible for your officials. If you go in, you will be responsible for your father and brother. Fear of loss leads to tireless drinking. What is it to me? "

Here, Confucius said: "I am not disturbed by wine." What else can I do? "

In the Analects of Confucius, "I study silently, study tirelessly and teach tirelessly. What is it for?" In short, the existing ancient Chinese textbooks are of great significance to "What is it for me?" The explanation is "What does it have to do with me?" In other words, these three things are not difficult for me.

So, "what is it to me" means "what is it to me?" What is there is what is there; So right. What is it to me, that is, what is it to me?

In The Analects of Confucius and Zi Han, Confucius said, "If you go out, you will be responsible for your officials. If you go in, you will be responsible for your father and brother. Fear of loss leads to tireless drinking. What is it to me? "

Here, Confucius said, "If I am not disturbed by wine, what else can I do?" How to understand it?

Reply: Confucius satirized his attacker with humorous and wise language, expressing his pursuit of self-improvement and self-realization. It is an optimistic and ambitious life thought. At the same time, criticizing others is also a self-reflective attitude.

It turned out that Confucius said, "When you are away from home, you must be responsible for your officials. If you go in, you will be responsible for your father and brother. If you dare not give up your funeral, why is it for me? "

Word Interpretation 2005-11-21Wei believes that "He You" has at least two usages in the pre-Qin period. One is the prepositional form of "He You"; The second is the solidified structure, which means "not difficult", which is what it means here. Confucius said that the above things are not difficult for Confucius.

Confucius said, "What advantages do I have?"

Reading quotations is Confucius' self-improvement standard. It embodies Confucius' noble sentiment of pursuing "loyalty, filial piety and righteousness". It can be seen that Confucius' thought is formed in the process of continuous self-improvement and has cross-century personality charm.

Today's people should wake up. Is it true that only the proletariat has the advanced nature and thoroughness of the revolution? If we can't even do "loyalty and filial piety", we can't talk about "Theory of Three Represents", let alone what road to take to lead the people of the whole country. Go on, either exhausted or dead.

Confucius once imagined his own blueprint for development: self-cultivation and self-cultivation. What an idealized pursuit of personality. For thousands of years, it has been encouraging the pursuit of Confucianism, craftsmen and businessmen.

It should be pointed out that this is the exclusive standard of self-improvement. I don't mean to play alone and not cooperate with others, but to set an example and call on fellow travelers with their own personality charm to build a paradise on earth.

analyse

How to understand Confucius' "I am not disturbed by wine, what else can I do?" How about this idea?

First of all, "going out is a public official's business, going in is a father's and brother's business, and the funeral is not forced" embodies the idea of loyalty to the monarch, filial piety and doing our best, while "not being sleepy for wine" is an optimistic and enterprising attitude towards life. Confucius wanted to show that even if things went wrong, he would not drown his sorrows in wine. In contrast, Li Taibai in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and Li Xunhuan, a novel character in the declining Ming Dynasty, can't do this. They are all addicted to alcohol, and the so-called writers and talented women in modern times are all indifferent to the world, addicted to alcohol, cigarettes and drugs. In short, this is a wake-up call. Only when people keep a clear head in troubled times like Confucius will they not lose confidence and fighting spirit. It is with a positive, optimistic and enterprising heart that Confucius will not be spurned by society and will not be looked down upon. People who understand this truth are Xiang Yu, Lu Bu and Zhang Fei. It's a pity that they didn't realize the harm of alcoholism until they made a serious military mistake, and the movie Huo Yuanjia starring Jet Li was even more portrayed as an alcoholic and a troublemaker. This not only distorts the facts, but also greatly weakens Huo Yuanjia's personality charm.

Here, Confucius purposefully cited several examples to push back the criticism and criticism of the other side. His implication is: "If you can't even be loyal, filial and righteous, who are you to blame and criticize me?" So, "Why for me!" If this passage is translated into modern Chinese, it means: I am a very ordinary person. When I go out to be a civil servant, I will treat myself as a civil servant. When I go home, I will be a member of my family. If my friends are in trouble, such as asking for money for a funeral, I will definitely help them. Even if I encounter unhappy things, I will not anesthetize myself with alcohol, but actively try to solve them. Besides, I have no merit.

How to embody Confucius' "loyalty, filial piety and righteousness" in "going out for public, going in for father and brother, and mourning for wine"?

Loyalty and righteousness: when you go out, you do things-when you are an official outside, you must keep your duty and do your duty;

Filial piety: being a father and a brother at home should set an example;

Festival: Don't be sleepy about alcohol-eat moderately, don't drink too much to get rid of your troubles and anesthetize yourself.

Righteousness: I dare not regret it-because Confucius lost his parents when he was very young. /kloc-After the age of 0/7, Confucius, who was born in a famous family, was chosen to study sacrificial etiquette. Later, he became a herdsman (equivalent to the president of today's procuratorate) and always exercised family law on his son, so his son had nothing to do all his life. However, the lesson we must learn from it is that Confucius treats funerals as diligently, rigorously and meticulously as his parents. This is the performance of doing your best. For example, the parents of a friend of Confucius died, and Confucius studied sacrificial rites. He can handle the funeral as carefully as his dead parents. This is his character and work attitude. As a result, the monarch and nobles didn't like him. His son was afraid of him, but the people loved his strange interpersonal relationship.

General comments

It can be seen that Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period knew how to laugh at himself even if he was accused, and gave him a silent silence (that is, irony) when he was cold. Confucius sarcastically asked, "Why for me?" It reflects that he is also unhappy and left out. This is not because he is imperfect, not excellent enough, or unable to solve the problem, but because the problem has not attracted people's understanding and attention. As a prophet, he has realized the development and destructiveness of the problem and foresaw the concealment and seriousness of the crisis. Judging from the quotations, his thoughts were really out of tune with the thoughts of most people at that time, but this limited practice of promoting self-assertion was supported by most people and lasted for more than 2500 years. Educated people, or people who accept Confucius' Confucianism, will not engage in mutiny and remonstrance at every turn. People say that going to a parade means marching, and going to exercise means exercising. Confucian scholars usually spend twenty or thirty years in the process of self-improvement before they practice their ideals, so their road is relatively stable. But the question is, when a person is "cultivated into an immortal", does he still have the ambition to stand out for others and speak for the society?

Confucius only achieved "self-cultivation and family harmony" in his life until his grandson Zisi put forward some ideas of "ruling the country and leveling the world". Obviously, even Confucius at that time realized that it was not enough to realize self-worth only by Confucianism, and other thoughts had to be added. In today's information age, many people learn to arm themselves with knowledge. Therefore, many people have surpassed Confucius and achieved "self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country and leveling the world". Although the political systems of past dynasties can't guarantee that everyone has equal opportunities to participate in "ruling the country and leveling the world", this ideal of * * * governance is just one aspect of * * * capitalism, from each according to his ability to get what he needs. The purpose of "ruling the country and leveling the world" is "from each according to his ability, to get what he needs". This is not an ideal of "equal wealth", it emphasizes the realization of self-worth and the idea of "ruling the country and leveling the world" in constant self-improvement, which is the ideological charm of Confucius.

We should look at "new Confucianism" from a developmental perspective. The most prominent feature of Confucian scholars is personal self-improvement and the embodiment of their own values. Even after death, we should pursue our ideals and realize our spiritual values. Therefore, in this process, Confucianism will constantly absorb and learn from the knowledge and theories of other schools to improve itself. Therefore, Confucianism is developing Confucianism. Only when everyone realizes the ideal of "ruling the country and leveling the world" can it be called perfect. I'm afraid this is the era of capitalism.

From "going out, you must be responsible for the secretary, and going in, you must be responsible for your father and brother." If you are not tired of alcohol, what is it to me? " To "from each according to his ability to get what he needs", from the realization of personal value to the realization of social value, the ideal of * * * is formed. Obviously, Confucius was indeed a progressive thinker at that time. Everything he says and does reflects his unique personality charm. For more than 2,500 years, many people became famous and married because of their good studies, and even became emperors, but they only surpassed Confucius and did not surpass Confucius' thoughts. After the rule of Datong and * * *, how should it develop? Is there "beyond the ambition of a star"?

The current peer education and assessment only ensure the inheritance of the original ideas, rather than the promotion and development of the ideological realm, so the martial arts practice in Shaolin Temple is still the same, reflecting the traditional charm. Only by going out of Shaolin Temple and learning from other martial arts schools can we establish a new theoretical system and branches. This is not deviant, but actively practicing the eternal development power and thinking mode of Confucianism. Therefore, anyone can write tomorrow's classics, which is the mission entrusted by the current situation.
