1, perfect: described to the extreme, without defects.

When Confucius was in the state of Qi, he had the opportunity to enjoy the most beautiful music [[Shao]], saying that it was' perfect beauty!' Then I was deeply moved. I thought about it for many days, and eating meat was tasteless. I don't know the taste of meat in March, which was originally used to describe Confucius' fascination with music. It is really strange that later generations use it to describe poverty.

2. Kan Kan and Conversation: Talking without hesitation.

In the hierarchy of the Zhou Dynasty, Confucius' position was equivalent to that of a doctor. Confucius was a man who tried to follow the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty. He talks nonsense when he meets people. In his hometown, he seemed gentle and obedient, as if he could not speak. In court, I am good at talking, but a little cautious; In the imperial court, when the monarch was away, Kan Kan talked with officials at the same level with confidence; Speak kindly to your superiors; The monarch came, respectful and uneasy, and cautious.

Don't give up day and night: it means that time is passing.

Confucius has a strong sense of time. He once sighed by the river:' The deceased is like a husband, staying up all night.' It means that time is gone forever! Like that river that runs day and night! Time is like running water, so we must cherish it. Confucius is famous in history because he knows that time is wealth!

Mencius:

1, initiator

This idiom comes from Mencius Hui Liang Wang Shang: "Zhong Ni (Confucius) said: The initiator has no future! It is also used for its humanity. "

During the Warring States Period, Mencius and Liang talked about the way of governing the country. Mencius asked Liang, "Is there a difference between killing with a stick and killing with a knife?"

Liang replied, "There is no difference."

Mencius asked again, "What is the difference between killing with a knife and killing with politics?"

Liang said to him, "It's no different."

Mencius went on to say, "Now there is plenty of fat in Wang's kitchen and strong horses in the stable, but the people are starving, and some people are lying in the wild." This is an organ that attracts animals to eat people! Think about it, king. Even if animals eat each other, it's disgusting. How can those in power lead wild animals to eat people be good parents of ordinary people? Confucius once said that the people who first used figurines (ancient puppets or clay dolls that buried the dead) were childless and grandchildren! " You see, it's impossible to sacrifice a humanoid clay figurine. How can people starve to death alive? "

According to Confucius' statement that "the initiator is just a consequence", later generations call "the initiator" an idiom, which means the first person who does bad things or the initiator of bad atmosphere.

2. The pot is too black, and the pot is too black.

During the Warring States period, the vassal states all adopted the strategy of uniting the horizontal, making distant friends and attacking near.

This war has been going on for many years, and people all over the world have suffered greatly. Mencius saw it and decided to travel around the world to persuade the belligerent monarchs. Mencius came to Liang and met the belligerent Liang Huiwang. Liang said to Mencius: "I tried my best to govern the country and care for the people, but I didn't see the increase of the people." What is the reason? "

Mencius replied: "I will take war as an analogy!" When the armies of the two sides meet on the battlefield, it is inevitable that there will be a war. As a result of the battle, the loser will abandon his helmet and armor and flee for his life. " If a soldier runs slowly and only runs fifty paces, he will laugh at the soldier who runs a hundred paces because he is' afraid of death'. "

Mencius finished the story and asked Liang, "Is this right?" Liang immediately said, "Of course not!" Mencius said, "Although they love the people and like to use troops, the people will suffer. This is the same as fifty steps. "

Idioms refer to people who laugh at a small defeat. "pot calling the kettle black" is also used to describe different degrees of practice, but the essence is the same.

3. Meng Mu moved three times.

Mencius (372 BC-289 BC), whose real name is Ke, is Zi (to be tested, Zi or Zi Ju). During the Warring States Period, Lu was a descendant of Lu Guoqing's father. China was a famous thinker and educator in ancient times and a representative of Confucianism in the Warring States Period. He is the author of Mencius. Mencius inherited and carried forward Confucius' thoughts and became a generation of Confucian masters second only to Confucius. He was known as the "Asian sage" and was called "Confucius and Mencius" together with Confucius. During the Warring States Period, there was a great scholar Mencius. Mencius was very naughty when he was a child. His mother spent a lot of effort to get him a good education! Once, they lived next to the cemetery.

Mencius and his neighbor's children learned to bow down and cry like adults and played a funeral game. Mencius' mother saw it and frowned: "No! I can't let my children live here! " Mencius' mother took Mencius to live next to the market. When he arrived at the market, Mencius and his neighbor's children began to learn how businessmen do business.

Bow to welcome guests, entertain guests, bargain with guests for a while, and behave well! Mencius' mother knew this and frowned: "This place is not suitable for my children to live in!" "So they moved again. This time, they moved near the school. Mencius began to be orderly and polite, and liked reading. At this time, Mencius' mother nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is where my son should live!" "
