The classic "The Analects" is one of the most important classics of Confucianism and one of my favorite classics.

The difference between "The Analects of Confucius" and other classics is that it is a collection of quotations, which all record the remarks of Confucius and his disciples in daily life, which are particularly close to life and particularly meaningful. feel. Whenever we read and recite this classic, it feels like Confucius is right in front of us, teaching us in a step-by-step manner.

The following quotes are all unforgettable.

1. Clever words and charming words, fresh and benevolent. ——"The Analects of Confucius. Learning is the First"

As your life experience increases and you come into contact with more and more people, your understanding of this sentence will become more and more profound. Anyone who talks sweetly and looks at people's faces generally has no benevolence and is not a kind person. This kind of people are often familiar to you. They have just met you, and they are like old friends reunited after a long separation. They are caring, caring, and especially affectionate, which makes people flattered. In fact, he treats everyone the same. He is warm on the surface but cold on the inside. If he turns around, he may say bad things about you. So when you meet this kind of person, you must be careful not to be deceived by his external appearance.

2. Zengzi said: "Be cautious about pursuing the past, and the people's morality will be strong." - "The Analects of Confucius. Learning is the First"

If a person is not careful about the funeral of his parents , are all careless and casual, then you will not know how to be grateful and remember your ancestors. Such people don't even value their closest relatives and have no feelings of friendship at all. How can they talk about feelings of friendship with others?

So, to see whether the folk customs of a place are honest and kind, you have to look at their attitude towards their deceased parents and ancestors. If everyone treats their deceased parents and ancestors as they did when they were still alive, then the folk customs here must be kind.

3. Ziyou asked about filial piety. Confucius said: "Today's filial piety means being able to raise dogs and horses. How can we be different if we don't respect dogs and horses?" - "The Analects of Confucius. The second chapter of government"

This sentence means: , one day, Ziyou asked his teacher Confucius what filial piety was. Confucius did not return from the front, but used a metaphor to illustrate. He said that what people think of as filial piety nowadays is to be able to provide for their parents so that they can live without worries about food and clothing. They feel that being able to do this means they have fulfilled their children's filial duty. However, even the dogs and horses raised at home will be taken care of and fed. If you don't have a respectful attitude toward your parents, what's the difference between feeding those dogs and horses?

4. Confucius said: "If everyone is evil, you will have to check it; if everyone is good, you will have to check it." - "The Analects of Confucius. Wei Linggong No. 15"

Being a human being When dealing with the world, you should not follow hearsay, nor follow what others say, or follow the crowd. You should learn to think independently and develop the habit of carefully observing life.

Even if everyone hates a person and speaks ill of a person, we must observe carefully before making a judgment. Because even good people are sometimes framed by bad people and misunderstood by everyone. Even if everyone likes a person and says this person is very good, we must observe carefully and not jump to conclusions easily. Because some treacherous villains will also seek fame and reputation, and do some good deeds on the surface to deceive everyone's eyes.
