An Analects of Confucius condensed Confucius' life sentiment and ideological essence, which influenced China for more than two thousand years. What's more, Zhao Pu, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, once declared that the Analects of Confucius ruled the world in half, which shows that the Analects of Confucius had a far-reaching influence on China in past dynasties.

Yu Dan's "Journey of Mind" mainly tells us that the power of the mind is infinite.

There are always unpleasant things in life, and there are inevitably shortcomings in life. How should we face these disappointments and shortcomings? This is the philosophy of life that Confucius wanted to tell us in The Analects of Confucius. If you can't get out of the shadow of life, if you exaggerate this disappointment and regret infinitely, then you will live in pain forever. In other words, psychological suggestion is very powerful. It can make or break a person.

Yu Dan told us through a passage in summer: admit the shortcomings in life and change through your own efforts. This is the life attitude that The Analects tells us how to treat shortcomings.

If we only read the Analects of Confucius, we may not fully understand it, but through Professor Yu Dan's explanation, many truths become easy to understand. Many of the examples she cited may be inappropriate, but most of them are still appropriate.

Through Tagore's words, the examples of Su Shi and Fo Yin, and the stories of tennis stars, Yu Dan indirectly tells us that a person with rich heart can be generous; A person with virtue and benevolence can be calm and carefree. That's what Confucius said: the benevolent is carefree, the wise is not confused, and the brave is fearless. To be a brave person, we should put the word "righteousness" first and be a brave person with benevolence and wisdom.

Yu Dan said well: We can't change the society and environment in which we live, but we can change our mood and attitude with our brave hearts. Professor Yu Dan believes that a person's external performance and his inner world complement each other, and what a person has in his heart, he sees.

This is Confucianism, and this is the way of benevolence.

After reading this article, I meditated for a long time. The wisdom of more than two thousand years ago is still worthy of our modern people's deep thinking. Sometimes we do things: have a clear conscience. Therefore, before and after doing anything, you should ask the "heart" if you are generous and have a clear conscience.

We are not sages, we are all ordinary mortals, and each of us can't do as Confucius said, "The benevolent is carefree, the wise is not confused, and the brave is not afraid", but we can try our best to change ourselves, just as Professor Yu Dan hopes: make us generous and calm with the power of the mind.
