Confucius said, "You see, what I say is always implemented by a basic idea." Ceng Zi said, "Yes." After Confucius went out, his classmates asked Ceng Zi, "Ceng Zi said," The teacher's way is only loyalty and forgiveness. "
Commenting on the way of loyalty and forgiveness is an important content of Confucius' thought, and treating others with loyalty and forgiveness is the basic requirement of benevolence, which runs through all aspects of Confucius' thought In this chapter, Confucius only said that his way has a basic thought of consistency.
The question of loyalty and forgiveness is not specifically explained, but it is answered in the following chapter. We will analyze this again. Ginseng, Reading Since ancient times, Confucius has called Ceng Zi's name: Ginseng, my way, you can persevere.
Yes I should say "Wei". Confucius said. The master didn't understand, but asked Ceng Zi, what is this? Ceng Zi replied: Confucius' methods are only loyalty and forgiveness. If it runs through everything, everything has its reason. Confucius' way is divided into one principle.
It's the same principle for everything. Some have joined the WTO and some have been born, but they can be consistent. However, the way of birth is very understandable, so Ceng Zi replied with loyalty and forgiveness. What is loyalty and forgiveness? This is called loyalty. Do as you would be done by.
Men mean forgiveness. The way of loyalty and forgiveness is still in the world, but it is similar to the way of birth. The Doctrine of the Mean quotes Confucius as saying: "Loyalty and forgiveness are not far from violating the Tao." If it is not far, it is near. If it is near, it can be reasonably consistent. In fact, this is consistent.
Meaning, always like this, has never changed, that is to say, one truth runs through everything.
