What famous aphorisms are only popular for half a sentence, but in fact the second half is more important? What do you know?

From "Zhuangzi·The Great Master" "When the spring dries up, the fish and the fish are on the land. They are wet with each other and wet with foam. It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes."

Interpretation: The spring is dry. In order to survive, the two fish fed each other with moisture from their mouths to survive. But instead of supporting each other like this on the verge of death, it would be better for everyone to return to the sea peacefully and not know each other.

9. Heaven and earth are unkind, treating all things as stupid dogs.

Original sentence: The heaven and the earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs; the saints are unkind and regard the common people as stupid dogs - "Tao Te Ching"

The understanding of ordinary people: "The heaven and the earth are cruel and unkind, and treat the common people as stupid dogs." All things are treated as lowly pigs and dogs, and those so-called saints who are above us are no different. They also treat us ordinary people as something inferior to pigs and dogs."

In fact, the real meaning of this sentence is! It is said that heaven and earth do not act on emotion and treat all things equally; saints do not act on emotion and treat the common people equally.

10. One misstep will lead to eternal hatred. The second half of the sentence: Looking back a hundred years ago.

11. "What you say must be true, and what you do must be resounding." From "The Analects of Confucius·Zilu Thirteenth". There is another sentence at the end: "He is just a villain."

It means: This is what stubborn mediocre people are like. The mediocre, the mediocre words and mediocre actions, are the common sense.

"灁(keng)灁Ran" describes being shallow and stubborn. Therefore, Mencius directly said: Sir, do not trust your words, and do not have any results, only righteousness. "Only what is right" - as long as it is morally right.

12. "My life has its limits, but my knowledge has no limits." It comes from "Zhuangzi. The Master of Health Preservation" and has been used by many people to encourage learners to cherish time and study hard. After this there is another sentence: "If there is a limit, then there will be no limit." It probably means that if you use your limited life to learn endless knowledge, you are really a brainless person!

13. "There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the greatest is not having offspring." This sentence is now generally understood by people as children, and they must continue the family's incense. Otherwise, it is unfilial, which is completely wrong. This sentence comes from "Mencius. Li Lou Shang". The original saying is "There are three kinds of unfilial piety. The greatest is not having an heir. Shun married without complaining, which was because he had no heirs. A gentleman thought he still sued." It means that there are many unfilial things. (There are three theories, but Mencius said there are five types of unfilial piety), the most serious of which is failure to abide by the responsibility of future generations.

Shun got married without informing his parents, which meant he had no offspring, but a gentleman thought it was almost the same as informing him (because Shun became a monk and was away from home, and Yao wanted to marry his daughter to him. In ancient times, the emperor was regarded as His parents told him that Sanshun's father was very violent to him, but he was still very filial, so all the gentlemen thought the same). It has nothing to do with having children to renew the relationship.

14. Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but remain in the heart of the Buddha. The second half of the sentence: If people in the world imitate me, it will be like entering the devil's path.

15. Think before you act. The words come from "The Analects of Confucius·Gongye Chang" Ji Wenzi thinks twice before acting. When the Master heard about it, he said: "Again, this is too bad.

"

Translation: Ji Wenzi had to think about everything multiple times. Confucius heard this and said, "Just think about it twice." "In fact, what Confucius meant is to think twice and then do it quickly. You have thought about it for a long time and you haven't done it yet!

16. Repay evil with kindness. From "The Analects of Confucius·Xianwen": Or "Repay evil with kindness, how about" ? Confucius said, "How to repay virtue?" "Repay grievance with kindness, repay kindness with kindness."

Repaying grievance with kindness is a sentence we often hear. The most common explanation is: Confucius taught us that when others bully you, you have to endure it. Even broken teeth should be swallowed in your stomach. If someone bullies you, you should be nicer to them, use your love to influence them, and use your heart to move them.

But in fact, Confucius' sentence "complaining with virtue" is followed by another passage. What is it? Confucius said: "How can we repay virtue by complaining with virtue?" Repay vengeance with straightness and repay kindness with kindness! "It turns out that we have all been fooled by some Confucius fan who quoted words out of context! One of Confucius' disciples asked him: Master, if someone beats me, I will not beat him. Instead, I will be nice to him and use my morality and education. Shame him to death and make him repent, okay? Confucius replied, "If you complain with virtue, how can you repay virtue?" "When others treat you with kindness, you need to repay others with kindness. But now when someone hits you, you should "complain with integrity." The explanation of "zhi" tends to be "right and wrong, justified, and upright." I don’t rule out the idea of ??picking up the bricks and flying over! Look! Just because someone deliberately omitted a sentence, the fierce old Master Kong was suddenly distorted into the gentle image he is now.
