Confucius said, "I believe in learning, and I am good at dying. Dangerous countries do not enter, and chaotic countries do not live. There is a road in the world, but there is no road to hide. There is a road in the country, which is poor, cheap and shameful. There is no way to make the country rich and expensive, and it is also shameful. 」
Vernacular explanation: Confucius said: "Ying Qin, a gentleman, is good at learning, honest and benevolent, and can persist in good deeds to the death. Dangerous countries cannot enter, and chaotic countries cannot live. There is a saying in the world that when it is politically on track, it should serve the country and make some achievements; When there is no way in the world and the political situation is chaotic, you quit seclusion when you can't show it. When the national politics is clear, it is shameful to remain poor and humble and unable to do anything; It is even more shameful to refuse to retire and continue to work in Gao Fushuai when the country is in political chaos. 」
Press: This chapter is often misunderstood, and it is considered that "not entering a dangerous country or living in a chaotic country" is a disregard for national security and an escape and irresponsible behavior. After investigating the historical facts of the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius said: Dangerous countries and chaotic countries refer to other countries, which have become uninhabitable and dangerous, and the situation is irreparable, so it is said: no entry. Reading and learning are most afraid of a little knowledge, and hope that literature will be meaningful, and the results are far from perfect. Never be careless when you mistake others for yourself!
The road was decadent, and Confucius not only traveled around, but also encountered the survival dilemma of how to spread Taoism and protect himself in China's traditional art papers. How did Confucius think and deal with the difficult China traditional art papers? How should future generations think and deal with difficulties?
It is said that Confucius entered the WTO and knew that he could not. Is Confucius consistent? Let's look at the other side of the master. Faced with the current situation that "the world is immoral, the Tao is immoral" ("Zhuangzi's Practice"), Confucius first started with politics, tried his best to hold the mansion that was about to be overturned, traveled around the world, and sought help for Julian Waghann, "taking the way of the world" ("Lao Zi" Chapter 61). However, life is not so affectionate, and politics is more cruel. The master is worried about the Tao and seeks the Tao, but he runs to the ministers, but he is as heavy as a lost dog. What will the master think of this situation and this encounter?
Confucius seems to be retiring. "If you can't do it, you can float on the sea with a fork" (governor). Where the Analects of Confucius is quoted, only the title is noted). Perhaps we can say that this is just a temporary sigh of Confucius. If we refer to Confucius' other remarks, we will find that Confucius is also thinking about himself in the face of the decadence of the avenue, the turbidity of reality and the danger brought by reality. Thinking about yourself is not to include yourself in the calculation of interests, but to look at yourself from the perspective of the times and consider yourself in the whirlpool of the times. Regardless of oneself, blindly staring at that external goal, rushing, rushing, and being brave without thinking is only the courage of fools, not wise. Therefore, Confucius said: "If a country is in danger, it will not live if it is in chaos" ("Taibo"), which shows that Confucius did not blindly enter the WTO. Why does the dangerous country not advance and the chaotic country not live? Obviously, in a dangerous and chaotic country, people can hardly live in peace without peace. I am afraid that it will not only help the times, but also harm myself.
