The truth behind the famous saying
1. When parents are around, you don’t have to travel far
Original text: Confucius said: “If you have parents around, don’t travel far away, you will have a good way to travel. "——"The Analects of Confucius·Li Ren"
Explanation: If you are traveling, you must tell where you are going and why.
Reason for crying faintly: It’s not that I won’t let you go out, right?
2. My life has a limit, but my knowledge also has no limit
Original text: " My life has a limit, but my knowledge has no limit. If I follow the limit, I will die." - "Zhuangzi: The Master of Health"
Interpretation: Pursuing infinite knowledge with a limited life is bound to fail. .
Reason for crying faintly: Just to tell you, don’t force things that you can never do, you are stupid!
/p>
Explanation: Ji Wenzi thinks about everything he does many times. After Confucius learned about it, he said that it is enough to think twice.
Reason for crying faintly: What the old man means is that it’s OK to consider the problem from two perspectives, don’t think too much! Just do it! After thinking about it for a long time but still not taking action, the ink marks are there!
4. When meat and wine pass through the intestines, they remain in the Buddha's heart
Original text: "When wine and meat pass through the intestines, they remain in the heart of the Buddha. If people in the world imitate me, it will be like entering the devil's path." - Daoji Zen Master (Living Buddha Jigong)
Interpretation: This sentence is originally a tragic allusion: when Zhang Xianzhong of the Ming Dynasty attacked Yucheng (Chengdu), he stationed himself in a temple outside the city and forced the monks in the temple to eat meat. At that time, a monk named Poshan said: "As long as you promise not to massacre the city, I will eat meat." Zhang Xianzhong agreed, so Monk Poshan recited this sentence while eating. He broke the precept for the sake of the lives of thousands of people in the city.
Reason for crying faintly: Jigong believed that only saints with great supernatural powers ate meat in order to save sentient beings under certain circumstances. And Jigong himself vomited out two live pigeons after eating two dead pigeons. If you can do it, feel free to eat meat. If you can't do it, just keep the precepts honestly!
5. Old age makes me more forgetful
Original text: “As old age makes me forgetful, I never forget my lovesickness.
"——Bai Juyi's "Occasionally Writing a Letter to Langzhi"
Interpretation: This sentence is easy to understand ~ the point is not to forget the lovesickness!
Reason for crying: other poets I want to express my romantic feelings to my wife and say that no matter how old I am, Shenma will never forget to miss you. I am not saying that I will become demented when I get old! Why are my children so ignorant?
