The Analects of Confucius "Zilu Chapter"

Author: Anonymous

Zilu asked about politics, and the Master said: "Go first, work hard." Asking for help, he said: "No tiredness." ?

Zhong Gong was the Prime Minister of the Ji family. When he asked about government affairs, Confucius said: "First there are ministers, who can pardon minor offenses and promote talents." ? Said: ? How can you know the talented people and promote them? He said: ? Raise what you know. You don't know, how can people give up everything?

Zilu said: "The king of Wei waits for his son to start the government, and the son will Xi first?" Zilu said: "The name must be corrected!" Zilu said: "That's right." Confucius is so roundabout! He is ridiculing his integrity. Confucius said: "You are so wild! A gentleman is ignorant of what he knows, and it is like building a bridge." If the name is not correct, then the words will not go smoothly; if the words are not right, the things will not be accomplished; if the things are not accomplished, the rituals and music will not flourish; if the rituals and music are not flourishing, the punishments will not be appropriate; if the punishments will not be appropriate, the people will do nothing wrong. Therefore, the name of a gentleman must be something that can be said, and what he says must be feasible. A gentleman is nothing more than strict about what he says. ?

Fan Chi asked him to learn farming, and Confucius said: "I am not as good as an old farmer." ?Please learn from Wei Pu and say: ?I am not as good as Lao Pu. When Fan came out late, Confucius said: "What a villain, Fan Xu! If you are good at etiquette, the people will not dare to be disrespectful; if you are good at righteousness, the people will not dare to be disobedient; if you are good at trust, then the people will not dare to be disrespectful." If this is the case, then the people from all over the world will carry their sons with them, so how can they use crops?

The Master said: "Recite the "Poetry" three hundred times and teach them how to govern, but they will not be able to do it; if they are given to the four directions, they will not be able to do it. Exclusively correct; even though there are many, it is also considered ridiculing?

The Master said: "If his body is upright, he will act without being told; if his body is not upright, he will not obey even though he is told." ?

Confucius said: ?The government of Lu and Wei are brothers. ?

The master said that Mr. Wei, Jing, was good at living in the house. At the beginning, he said: "We are just getting along." ?Rarely, he said: ?It's all done. ? Rich, said: ? Gou Mei. ?

When Zi was in the state of Wei, Ran had his servants. Zi said, "You are a common people!" Ran You said, "If you are already a common people, how can you add wealth?" ? Said: ? Since you are rich, how can you add more? He said: ? Teach him. ?

Confucius said: "As long as I am useful, it only takes a few months, and I will be successful in three years." ?

Confucius said: ?A good person has been in the country for a hundred years, but he can also defeat the bad and kill him. ?What a sincere statement!?

Confucius said: ?If there is a king, he will be benevolent from generation to generation. ?

Confucius said: "If you can straighten your body, what's the point of being in politics? If you can't straighten your body, what's the point of rectifying people?"

When Ranzi retired from the court, Master said: "Why Yan?" He said: "There is politics." ?Confucius said: ?This is what happened. If there is government, even if I don't take charge of it, I will hear about it. ?

Ding Gong asked: "One word can make a country prosperous, but there are many people." Confucius said to him: "How many words can't be done?" People say: "It is difficult to be a king, but it is not easy to be a minister." If you know how difficult it is to be a king, why can't you make a country prosper with just one word? He said: "One word can ruin a country." Confucius said to him, "You can't say just a few words." People say: "I have no pleasure in being a king, but only what I say and don't violate it." ?If it is good but does not violate it, isn't it also good? If it is not good but does not violate it, won't it almost ruin the country with just one word?

When Ye Gong asked about politics, Confucius said: ?The recent commentator said , come from afar. ?

Zi Xia was in charge of Ju’s father, and when he asked about government affairs, the Master said: "There is no desire for haste, and there is no small gain." Haste makes waste, and small gains mean big things will fail. ?

Ye Gong said to Confucius: "There is a person in our party who has a straight bow. His father chases sheep, and his son proves it." ?Confucius said: ?The uprightness of our party is different from this. The father hides for the son, and the son hides for the father, and he is always there. ?

Fan Chi asked about benevolence, and Confucius said: "Be respectful where you live, be respectful when serving, and be loyal to others." Although they are barbarians, they cannot be abandoned. ?

Zi Gong asked: "How can one be called a scholar in this way?" Confucius said: "One who behaves oneself with shame, but who does not disgrace the emperor's order in all directions, can be called a scholar." ? Said: ? Dare to ask the next question. ? Said: ? The clan is called filial piety Yan, and the township party is called brother Yan. ? Said: ? Dare to ask the next question. ? Said: ? You must be true to your word, and your deeds must bear fruit. You are just a villain! You can also do it second best. ? Said: ? How are today's politicians? Confucius said: ? Well! What's the point of those who fight against each other!?

Confucius said: ? If you don't follow the right path and follow it, you will definitely be arrogant! The crazy ones make progress, while the stubborn ones do nothing.

?

Confucius said: There is a saying among the southerners: A man without permanence cannot be a witch doctor. ?Good man!?If you don't persevere in your virtue, you may be ashamed of it. ?Confucius said: ?It is just a matter of not occupying it. ?

Confucius said: ?The gentleman is harmonious but not uniform; the villain is homogeneous but not harmonious. ?

Zi Gong asked: "Everyone in the village likes it, so what's the matter?" Confucius said: "It's not possible." ?Everyone in the country hates it, so why? The Master said: ?It is impossible. Those who are not as good as the country people will like them, and those who are not good will be evil. ?

Confucius said: "A gentleman has easy things but hard to explain, and he doesn't explain them in a Tao, and he makes others use them. A villain has difficult things, but it's easy to explain them, even if he doesn't explain them in a Tao." Speaking of which, people also need to be prepared. ?

Confucius said: ?A gentleman is arrogant but not arrogant, and a villain is arrogant but not arrogant. ?

Confucius said: ?Hardness, perseverance, wood, slowness and benevolence. ?

Zilu asked: "How can one be called a scholar in this way?" Confucius said: "Everything is so charming and pleasant, so it can be called a scholar." My friends are all sweet and my brothers are happy. ?

Confucius said: ?A good man can teach the people for seven years, and then he can become a soldier. ?

Confucius said: ?To not teach the people to fight is to abandon them. ?

Translation of the Analects of Confucius "Zilu Pian":

Zilu asked how to manage political affairs. Confucius said: "Be ahead of the people and make them diligent." ?Zilu asked to talk more. Confucius said: Don't be lazy. ?

Zhong Gong became Ji's retainer and asked how to manage political affairs. Confucius said: "First, instruct the officials responsible for specific affairs, let them take their own responsibilities, forgive their minor mistakes, and select talented people to serve." Zhong Gong asked again: How do you know the talented people and select them? Confucius said: Select the talented people you know. As for the talented people you don’t know, will others bury them?
