I think 80% of this is made up. One respondent said that "the wise do not be confused, the benevolent do not worry, the brave do not fear", but the meaning is completely wrong!

Don’t think that only Chinese middle school students are enthusiastic about making up famous quotes. Foreigners also have the same virtue. In the English world, fake quotes are everywhere. The biggest victim was Buddha, followed by Confucius. The best thing they can do is make up a philosophical sentence in the style of ancient Greece and then add the names of Buddha and Confucius.

For example, do you know this famous saying of Confucius? "Before you decide to take revenge, dig two graves first." This famous saying is known to everyone in the West and no one in China. I have seen this sentence seven or eight times in European and American articles, movies, and games, and I don’t know who made it up. The Chinese team scratched their heads and couldn't guess what the original words were. Some simply translated them literally, and some translated them into "repaying grievances with directness and repaying kindness with kindness" in the Analects of Confucius, which seems to be vaguely related. This is also difficult for them. .

The reason is that Westerners have no understanding of the East and have a certain sense of freshness about Eastern culture. As the most mysterious figures in the East in their eyes, Buddha and Confucius were shot without hesitation.

In the final analysis, our cultural export to the West is too weak, so weak that it can be ignored, so there is such a joke, alas!
