Appreciation

The article mainly records three paragraphs of comments made by Confucius on the Ji family's general attack on Zhuanyu.

The first paragraph explains his reasons for opposing the Ji family's attack on Zhuan Yu; the first is that "in the past, the previous king thought he was the lord of Eastern Mongolia", that is, Zhuan Yu has always had a justifiable political status in the state of Lu; the second is that "And it is within the territory of the state", that is, Zhuan Yu's geographical location is within the territory of Lu State, and has never posed a threat to Lu State; thirdly, "he is a minister of the state", which means that Zhuan Yu has always respected the relationship between monarch and minister. , there is no reason to attack. Confucius's words reflect his political views of governing the country with propriety and virtue, and opposing force and hegemony and resorting to force. ?

In the second paragraph, Confucius quoted Zhou Ren's famous saying: "Chen Li will take the lead, and those who can't will stop." He criticized Ran You and Ji Lu for their attitude of shirking responsibility. In the third paragraph, Confucius positively explains his political views.
