Confucius talked about how husband and wife should get along with each other. The old saying goes: An idiot fears his wife, but a virtuous woman respects her husband. What kind of way does it teach husband and wife how to get along with each other?
The way husband and wife get along has always been very particular. To put it bluntly, getting along as a husband and wife is indeed very troublesome. It is a part of life. Of course, the love between husband and wife can resolve this trouble. In the ancient Chinese proverb, there is a saying that I quite agree with, which is that idiots fear their wives, while virtuous women respect their husbands.
It is not easy for two people to live together. They must be careful, tolerate each other, and help each other. Mutual tolerance is especially difficult to achieve. So what does it mean that an idiot fears his wife and a virtuous woman respects her husband? Where does it come from? This sentence comes from a Chinese enlightenment book "Zengguang Xianwen". This book collects many ancient Chinese famous sayings and aphorisms, including etiquette and morality, dealing with people, customs and rules, etc. What does this ancient saying mean when translated? That is to say, more foolish men are afraid of their wives, while more virtuous wives respect their husbands.
This meaning is very research-intensive, because when the previous sentence is combined with the latter sentence, you don’t know whether “idiot” is a derogatory or a complimentary word. I think this sentence tells everyone that the most important thing is to respect each other and tolerate each other. A virtuous wife respects her husband, which is the most crucial meaning of this ancient saying.
But when we understand this ancient saying, we must break away from the ancient system. As the saying goes, "the ancient saying is understood today", this is also a kind of advancing with the times. Because some ancient sayings can be understood freely. As long as they express good meaning, they are not the same as others. They have a whole ideological system. There must be no deviation in understanding. It must be what Confucius wanted to express. Thought.
It is regrettable that for thousands of years many people have misunderstood Confucius and misunderstood Confucian thought, which has become a tool and a tool for business people to make money. It is really sad and lamentable. What do you think, readers? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
The above is what Confucius said about how husband and wife get along, and it is about Confucius’ sharing.
After reading Confucius’ famous aphorisms about getting along with husband and wife, I hope this will be helpful to everyone!
