Confucius' famous sayings and explanations

Learning while learning

Confucius' famous sayings. From the Analects of Confucius: "Confucius said:' Learning from time to time, isn't it pleasant?' Wang Su's Note: "Learning by reciting lessons is a pleasure because there is no waste in learning." Wang interprets "learning" and "learning" as one meaning, which seems to refer specifically to reading. However, Confucius taught people to learn "six arts", including etiquette, music, shooting, imperial, calligraphy and mathematics, and "reciting" was only "one end" (see Liu Baonan's The Analects of Justice). Huang Kan-Shu said, "There are three times when you learn." One refers to the age, the other refers to the season, and the third refers to the morning and evening. Jiang Boqian, a close friend, thinks that "learning is to know the new and learning is to review the old" (Introduction to Thirteen Classics).

When the former solution. This sentence can be combined with the chapter "Review the past and learn the new". Close friend Yang Shuda's note: "Those who review their past but can't learn new things, learn without thinking, and those who want to know new things without reviewing their past, think without learning." Confucius advocated paying equal attention to learning and thinking, which had a profound influence on Confucius' younger brother. For example, Zi Xia said that he was knowledgeable and thoughtful, and The Doctrine of the Mean said that he was knowledgeable and thoughtful, and they all thought that learning and thinking should not be neglected.

A man without faith does not know what he can do.

A famous saying of Confucius. From the Analects of Confucius, "Confucius said,' People don't believe, and they don't know what they can do.' Zheng Xuan's note: "If you don't know what you can do, it's not feasible to say it.". Kong Anguo's note: "If you don't believe what you say, there is nothing left.". Zhu Xi said: "If a person's face is not true and sincere, then everything he says is false." ("Zhuzi Genre" Volume 24) Jiang Boqian, a close friend, distinguishes the letter from two meanings: "What you say must be true; If you say something, you must be able to practice it. " (Interpretation of Language) Confucius and the later Confucianists attached great importance to faith. "Faithfulness in words and reverence in deeds" (The Analects of Confucius, Wei Linggong) is the principle of Confucius' life.

slow in words but quick in deeds

Confucius' famous saying. From the Analects of Confucius Liren: "Confucius said,' A gentleman is slow in words but quick in deeds'". Bao Xian's note: "Stupid, dull. If you want to talk late, you will want to get sick. " Zhu Xi quoted Xie Liangzuo as saying: "It is easy to speak, so I want to be dull; It is difficult to practice, so I want to be sensitive. " There are many synonymous sentences in The Analects of Confucius, such as "If you are careful with the rest, you will be regretful" (Politics), "If an ancient man can't say anything, he can't be ashamed to bow" (Liren), and "A gentleman is ashamed of his words but goes beyond his deeds" (Xian Wen), all of which can reflect Confucius' consistent thought of cautious words. See "Be sensitive and cautious".

Listen to what you say and watch what you do

Confucius' famous saying. Gongye Chang, the Analects of Confucius: "Slaughtered by day and night. Confucius said:' Rotten wood cannot be carved, and the wall of dung cannot be carved. What is the punishment for giving? " Confucius said,' I gave to others at the beginning, and I listened to their words and believed in their deeds.' In Shuo Yuan Zun Xian, Confucius said, "A husband can learn from others, and observe his words and deeds ... so observe his words and slap his deeds first." "Dai Li Ji Wu Di De": "Confucius said:' I want to take people by words, and I want to correct them by evil." "That is, this chapter. Zhu Xi quoted Hu's note: Confucius speaks by listening to words and observing deeds. "Therefore, we have set up a police group of disciples to make our words more sensitive to our actions." (Notes on the Analects of Confucius)

Sensitive and studious, not ashamed to ask questions

Confucius' famous sayings. Gongye Chang, the Analects of Confucius: "Zi Gong asked,' Why does Confucius call it a literary work?' Confucius said,' You are quick and eager to learn, and you are not ashamed to ask questions, so you can write by saying.' "Kong Wenzi, doctor who. "Wen" is his death. Zhu Xi's note: "mortals are sensitive and learn more, but it is difficult to learn. Those who are high are ashamed to ask questions." Therefore, it is difficult for people to cover the funeral law with' diligence and good questions'. " (Notes on the Analects of Confucius) also said: "The ancient people's eulogy was very broad", "It's not good for Confucius and Wen Zi to be firm, but it's also good for him to learn from others" (Zhuzi Language, Volume 29).

gentle, and then a gentleman

Confucius' famous saying. From the Analects of Confucius Yong Ye: "Confucius said:' Quality is better than literature, and literature is better than history, gentle and gentle, and then a gentleman'." According to the word meaning, text and literary talent; Quality, simplicity; Binbin, mixed appearance. Zhu Xi's Annotations on the Analects of Confucius in the Southern Song Dynasty: "Scholars should make up for more losses, but as for virtue, it is unexpected." Liu Baonan's The Analects of Justice in the Qing Dynasty: "Rites have quality and text. Quality, this also. There is no ceremony without foundation, no text, and it can be done. " Confucius' words "Wen" refer to the external expression of propriety; "Quality" refers to the inner benevolence. Only when you have the inner character of "benevolence" and can show it in a polite way can you become a "gentleman". The relationship between literature and quality, that is, the relationship between courtesy and benevolence. This one embodies the ideal personality of "gentleman" that Confucius tried his best to admire; The other reflects his consistent doctrine of the mean: that is, he does not advocate partiality over literature, nor does he advocate partiality over quality; It is not easy to be impartial and serve both purposes, but to go too far. "Confucius said:' The quality of Yu Xia, the article of Yin and Zhou Dynasties, is the best. The text of Yu Xia is incomparable in quality; The quality of Yin and Zhou Dynasties is beyond words; How easy is it to say that the quality of the text is good? "("Book of Rites ")

Stay away from ghosts and gods

Confucius' famous saying. From the Analects of Confucius, Yong Ye: "Fan Chi asked about knowledge, and Confucius said,' Serving the people and staying away from ghosts and gods can be described as knowing'". Zhu Xi's note: "Dedicated to what is appropriate for humanity, not to be confused by the unknowability of ghosts and gods, but also to know." (Notes on the Analects of Confucius) Liu Baonan in Qing Dynasty interpreted this sentence as: "It means to respect ghosts and gods with courtesy" (Justice of the Analects of Confucius). "Book of Rites": "Confucius said:' Xia Dao respects life, keeps ghosts away from God, and is close and loyal; Yin people respect God, lead the people to serve God, put ghosts before rituals; People in the Zhou Dynasty respected the ceremony and applied it, while ghosts respected God and stayed away, being close and loyal. "Combined with the above Confucius told Fan Chi language, we can see that Confucius holds a different view of ghosts and gods from Xia merchants, and taught Fan Chi to learn from Zhou Dao. On the premise of acknowledging the existence of ghosts and gods, Confucius also put forward that we should neither treat ghosts and gods lightly nor be close to them, which is different from emphasizing human beings before ghosts and gods in daily life and social activities (The Analects of Confucius advanced: "Ji Lu asked about ghosts and gods, and Confucius said,' If you can't serve people, how can you serve ghosts?' ") attitude.

if you want to stand up and be a man, you want to be a man.

Confucius' famous saying. From the Analects of Confucius Yong Ye, Confucius replied to Zi Gong and asked Ren: "A man who is benevolent wants to stand up and stand up, and he wants to reach people, and he can draw a close analogy. It can be said that the side of benevolence is already there." Zhu Xi's Notes on the Analects of Confucius: "If you think of yourself and others, the heart of the benevolent is also there. From this point of view, you can see the flow of nature and have no leisure." Ruan Yuan's Collection of Classrooms in Qing Dynasty: "Never tire of it, and make your own achievements;" Teach people tirelessly, and make people talented. Standing, such as' standing at thirty'; Those who reach, such as' in Bangbida, at home must reach'. " This sentence still says that if you want to stand up, you should also make others stand up, and if you want everything to work, you should also make others work. Therefore, it embodies the way of "forgiveness" advocated by Confucius, that is, the practical ways and methods of "benevolence" It is the high standard of "forgiveness" to do what you want others to do, that is, to practice "benevolence" in a positive sense, while the low standard is to push what you hate and others without adding evil, that is, to practice "benevolence" in a negative sense (see The Analects of Yan Yuan: don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you), to push yourself and others, and to know others by yourself, that is, to admit the value of others and care about them.

saying without doing, believing is good for the past

Confucius' famous saying. The words "The Analects of Confucius": "Confucius said:' Tell without doing, be faithful and ancient, and steal from my old Peng'." Biography of the Scholars in the History of Han Dynasty: Confucius "studied the ancient and modern texts", narrated the Book, called Yue, discussed the Poetry, Yinlu's Spring and Autumn Annals, and improved the Book of Changes, "all because of the near-holy things, in order to establish the teaching of the former king. Therefore, it is said that' telling without doing, believing and being ancient' ". Zhu Xi's Notes on the Analects of Confucius: "Confucius deleted Poetry, Book, ceremony, music, praise of Zhouyi and revision of Spring and Autumn Annals, all of which were handed down by the former king, but never did anything." Its sentence means to pass on the old chapters without creating them, and it is both obedient and fond of ancient culture. "Doing nothing" and "cherishing the past" are the summaries of Confucius' lifelong teaching and academic research career, and also reflect his principles of sorting out historical and cultural heritage and his basic attitude towards ancient culture. The so-called "don't do it", Zhu Xi thinks that Confucius "has done more than he did" (ibid.). Then scholars thought that Confucius actually wrote and wrote.

knowing silently, never tire of learning, never tire of teaching

Confucius' famous saying. The language comes from the Analects of Confucius: "Confucius said:' I know it silently, I don't tire of learning, and I don't tire of teaching people. Why is it for me?" See also "Mencius Gongsun Ugly": "Confucius said:' I can't be holy, and I never tire of learning and never tire of teaching'"; "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" also records: "Confucius said:' How can I be called? If you don't do it yourself, you will learn and never tire, and you will teach and never tire' ". Its sentence means: silently remember what you have seen and heard in your heart, never be satisfied with your study, and teach students to be tireless. Zhu Xi's Notes on the Analects of Confucius in the Southern Song Dynasty: "The three are not the ultimate saints, but if they are still unworthy, they will be modest and modest." Qian Mu, a close friend, thinks that "it is not true to take this chapter as a courtesy." (New Interpretation of the Analects of Confucius) Confucius cited three things here: First, it is important to speak knowledge (memory), not to speak silently, as the saying goes, "Keep it by hearing more" (Book of Rites, Clothes), "Those who hear more choose its goodness and follow it, and learn more" (The Analects of Confucius)
