Today's translation: "a gentleman does not insist on the satisfaction of diet, but the comfort of life." He works hard and speaks carefully, and approaches a moral gentleman to correct his deviation or mistake. This is also easy to learn. "
Quote: Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the necessary conditions of life, but there is no need to improve the level indefinitely, so as not to be exhausted by endless desires. If you sacrifice your health and life to meet the needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation, it is even more worthless. Confucius advocates eating less than seven points, living comfortably but not luxuriously, and living safely but not luxuriously, which conforms to the standards of modern environmental protection and healthy life. Shift your attention to your life, improve your ability to do things seriously and responsibly, speak carefully, and often ask related questions from a gentleman with good moral cultivation. This necessity can be said to be a hobby of learning and a passionate pursuit.
The most important thing in life is to improve one's moral cultivation. You can live a well-off life without pursuing wealth. Spend more time to enrich yourself, do what you are interested in, pay more attention to the community and neighbors, and don't pursue the continuous improvement of material life wholeheartedly.
Wisdom of life: First, modern people attach great importance to health, but forget the lesson of Confucius that "you don't have to eat enough, you don't have to live in peace", which is a concrete proof that reading is irrational. Eat seven points full and eat more coarse grains. Don't sit if you can stand; Don't lie down if you can sit. This is a good health care habit.
Second, in words and deeds, it is best to be vigilant, speak carefully, and do things well in front of you and in your hands. Be single-minded, don't do this and think that, in order to do things well.
Third, the most precious thing in life is "a gentleman". A person's choice ability is high, and he is very modest. He can humbly ask wise experts for advice in everything, and naturally he makes rapid progress.
