Source: The Analects of Confucius Establishing People
When you see a virtuous person, you should look up to him. When you see a person without virtue, you should reflect on your own shortcomings.
It is pointed out that this is what Confucius said, and it is also the motto of later Confucian self-cultivation "See Si Qi" means that a good example will shock you and drive you to catch up; "Self-examination when you see a bad example" means that a bad example "teaches you". You should learn from it and continue to fall with others. Mencius' mother moved three times in a row for fear that Mencius would be influenced by bad neighbors. In his poems, Du Fu boasted that "Li Yong is eager to learn and is willing to be a neighbor", which all showed the role of this "model".
2. What is the content of the poem "Four Qi" in The Book of Songs?
Si Qi, Da Tie, mother of King Wen, Zhou Jiang, wife of Beijing. If you are the eldest son, you are a hundred men.
Benefiting from the patriarch, God ignores the grievances, and God ignores the bullying. Punishment is for widows, brothers and families.
Yong Yong is in the palace and Su Su is in the temple. Come if you don't show up, or you'll be guaranteed if you don't shoot.
Arrogance is not a disease, and falsehood is not a defect. If you don't smell it, you can enter without advice.
Adults are virtuous and children are creative. In ancient times, no one sighed and was famous for being reckless.
[translation]
Elegant and dignified is Tairen, Zhou Wenwang's good mother. The virtuous and beautiful Tai Jiang, the royal lady lives in Zhou Jing. Tess's reputation can be inherited and more boys will be born.
King Wen is filial to his ancestors, and his god has no complaints and his god has no pains. A model wife is typical, and so is a model brother, running the country and keeping the country safe.
It is really family harmony and the ancestral temple is respectful. In the dark, there is also a god's supervision, self-cultivation, and peace of mind.
Xirong is not a problem now, and illness does not harm the people. It is also appropriate to do things that have never been heard before, even those who have no advice will listen to them.
Now adults are virtuous and teenagers are educated. Wen Qin Wang is good at educating people, and all scholars have a good reputation.
