In our daily life of studying and working, we are bound to come into contact with papers. Papers are a tool for describing academic research results and conducting academic exchanges. How to write an essay to avoid making mistakes? The following is the character material for college entrance examination essays and argumentative essays that I compiled for you: Confucius. I hope it can help you.

1. The calmness of mountains and the agility of water

Confucius is the founder of Confucianism. For many years, many people have believed that a major feature of Confucianism is conservatism and old-fashioned. In his golden years, Confucius only paid attention to "the way of the ancient kings" and did not pay attention to the changes in things, while Confucius was a square and pedantic scholar. In fact, Confucius, who "believed in and loved the past", used his own understanding of morality and his expectations for the times to give a new interpretation of the classics. He not only regarded the benevolence "like a mountain" as the highest moral standard, but also uttered the sentimental song "the dead are like this" that has made wise men throughout the ages scream; he not only explained "change" extremely poetically, Moreover, he practices it personally, recruits and teaches disciples, and uses practical actions to transform souls. If he is afraid of "change" and does not believe in the possibility of things being updated, he will not become a soul engineer or the first professional teacher in Chinese history. What is unique about him as a Chinese philosopher is that his "change" is like the growth of all things, a silent and natural process. The ideal development in his mind does not cut off the thread of tradition, but is based on tradition, like a mountain. The trees in the middle grow continuously.

2. Frustration

Confucius was unsuccessful in his life. But Confucius did not fear or escape, and treated life with an optimistic attitude. Confucius was no worse than Laozi and Zhuangzi in terms of being happy with heaven and knowing destiny, and being knowledgeable and contented. "Kong Yan's happy place" is a summary of this attitude towards life.

When Confucius was traveling around the country, he was besieged by the Kuang people. The situation was very urgent at that time. Confucius said: "Since King Wen is gone, how can Wen not be here? Heaven will lose Siwen, and the deceased will not be able to compare with Siwen. Heaven has not lost Siwen, what will Kuang people do!" Sima Huanmao of the Song Dynasty wanted to harm Confucius. Confucius said: "I am born with virtue, how can Huan Kui do it?"

"The Analects of Confucius: Shuer" expresses Confucius's ambition to be good to the world. At the same time, it is also Confucius's comfort and encouragement to himself when he encounters setbacks. It is a method of self-adjustment.

3. Choice

The ancient Liu Xiahui was forced to sleep under the city. It was windy and snowy at night, and the temperature dropped sharply. A woman who was sleeping with him under the city gate was almost dying of cold. Liu Xiahui held him in his arms and kept him warm with his body temperature until dawn the next day. He did not do anything inappropriate and left a good reputation for being calm in his arms.

No coincidence. The people of Lu have a room to themselves in, and their neighbor is a widow who also lives in a room alone. In the middle of the night, a storm came, and the widow's room was damaged. She wanted to go into the Lu people's room to take shelter, but the Lu people refused to accept her. The widow begged under the window: "Why don't you know kindness and don't let me in?" The Lu man said: "I heard that men and women cannot live in the same room under the age of sixty. You are young now, and I am young too, so I dare not Let you come in." The woman said, "Why don't you learn from Liu Xiahui?" The Lu man said, "Liu Xiahui can do it, but I can't do it. I can't do it with my own. Liu Xiahui can do it." Confucius said: "How good! No one can learn like Liu Xiahui. It is wise to want to develop in a good way but not follow other people's behavior."

In Confucius’ view, Liu Xiahui’s choice was right, and so was the choice of the people of Lu.

4. Humor

In 496 BC, the anxious Zigong looked around for his lost teacher Confucius. At this time, a Zhengguo man said to him: "There is a man at the east gate. Personally, his forehead is like Tang Yao, his neck is like Gao Tao, and his shoulders are like Zi Chan, but from the waist down he is three inches smaller than Xia Yu, and his appearance is as thin and tired as a bereaved dog." Zigong said this to Confucius after he found him. Tell him. Confucius said with a smile: "That's not necessarily the shape he mentioned. But if you say I look like a bereaved dog, yes! Yes!" This is Confucius, an old man full of humorous cells. Sitting in the portrait is the image of the "Dacheng Holy Master" sitting deep in the consciousness of the Chinese people. In the eyes of Confucius, true immortality lies not in power, but in culture and education. Therefore, Confucianism later praised Confucius as the "Su King". No land, no people, his throne will last as long as culture exists.

5. Source

Anyone who knows Confucius knows what the situation was like for the intellectuals of that era. The benevolence and ethics he preached were sometimes put aside, but sometimes they were taken to the extreme. Isn't it? To this day, there are people studying Confucianism almost all over the world. What can be studied? I thought: It's just for my use. But, no matter what, Confucius is great. Yes, absolutely great. His classic discussion is about human nature and human ethics. Some people say: All things on earth are created equal. All retribution is due to human beings breaking the ecological balance and desperate to satisfy human beings' own desires. Therefore, human beings call for humanity and equality. Confucius two thousand years ago was calling for human nature. Yes, the feudal dynasties of all dynasties all showed the choice of the emperor on whether to rule the country with Confucianism or law. Yes, Confucius’s ethical and moral concepts are still timeless to this day. Morality is ruined, and you will inevitably be surrounded by enemies: when you are rational, you will ask Confucius for advice.
