"Lu Shi Chun Qiu" records a story about Confucius and his two disciples Zi Lu and Zigong. Zilu saved a drowning man, and the rescued man gave Zilu a cow as a token of his gratitude. Zilu accepted it. Confucius commented on the incident of "Zilu saved the cow from drowning": From now on, the people of Lu will like to save people in danger. Coincidentally, another student of Confucius, Zigong, was rewarded by the government for redeeming the body of a slave, but he refused, believing that it was immoral to ask for rewards for doing good deeds. But Confucius commented this way: No one in the State of Lu will be willing to do such a good thing as redeeming others. "Zi Lu was encouraged by others to be virtuous, and Zigong was humble and did good deeds."
One of Confucius's views on humanities, he said: "After taking what is right, people will not be tired of taking it." That is to say, as long as it is in line with morality, you can get what you should get, and people will not be disgusted and resentful about it. Disgusting. "Lu Shi Chun Qiu Cha Wei" records that Zi Lu saved a man who fell into the water. The man brought a cow as a thank you gift, and Zi Lu accepted it calmly. Confucius greatly praised Zilu's actions and said: From now on, the people of Lu will definitely rush to save the victims. This story is a true portrayal of Confucius's recognition and protection of the right to obtain legitimate benefits.
The story is roughly like this:
According to the law of the Lu State, the people of Lu were slaves to the princes, and those who could redeem them would take their gold from the government. Zigong redeemed the people of Lu from the princes, and when they came, they gave way without taking their gold. Confucius said: "Gift the lost. From now on, the people of Lu do not redeem people. If you take the gold, you will not be harmed by your behavior. If you do not take the gold, you will not redeem the person." Zilu saved people, and the people worshiped him. Ox, Zilu received it. Confucius said: "The people of Lu must save those who are drowning." Confucius saw it in detail, and saw it in a distant way.
Another one is like this: Zilu saved his life and was thanked by the cow. Confucius said: The state of Lu must be good at saving people from trouble. Zigong redeemed people and did not receive money from the government. Confucius said: The State of Lu no longer redeems people. Zi Lu accepted it and encouraged virtue, Zigong gave in and stopped virtue.
