Six realms of life: "the tenth five-year plan is to learn"
Confucius was revered as a teacher in past dynasties and taught countless students in his life. In the eyes of Confucius, the most important thing is to study hard when people are around 15 years old.
"Aspiring to learn" is not only learning textbook knowledge, but also learning how to be a man and understand the world.
Youth is the golden stage of life, so we must make good use of it.
But in modern society, children's physiological age is getting more and more precocious, and they have no intention of learning. If any child really reads Confucius and Mencius, he is likely to be laughed at.
Six realms of life: "Standing at 30"
Confucius believes that when people reach the age of 30, they must have their own career. You don't have to do anything big, but at least you have to have a firm and stable life goal.
People who stand at the age of 30 are in the best physical condition! At least: live independently, be economically independent, have firm goals, and strive step by step.
On the other hand, in modern society, how many people can really "stand up" at the age of 30? How many people are not weaned?
Six realms of life: "forty without confusion"
After two stages of "learning at fifteen" and "standing at thirty", life experiences are tempered and summarized according to life, reaching the realm of "no confusion".
"Not confused" means not being confused by foreign objects, not being confused by foreign objects.
After 30 years, we are thoughtful, harmonious, experienced and economically stable. Naturally, there are not so many things we don't understand and don't know about life.
Six realms of life: "fifty knows the destiny"
"Knowing destiny at fifty", knowing destiny here does not mean not making progress and passively accepting destiny.
"Knowing destiny" refers to people who are fifty years old. They understand the laws of nature, the trend of social development and the causal relationship between things.
"Knowing destiny" is a mature elder, and after years of polishing, it has reached a superb realm.
Six realms of life: "Obedience at sixty"
Great wisdom of "obedient"! Literally speaking, obedience means that when people reach the age of 60, they will be able to listen to opinions different from their own, and they will no longer be as passionate as they were when they were young.
The realm of "obedience" is not simple. Confucius believes that obedience is not passive ear-scraping, but dare to speak out.
That is, when people reach the age of 60, they can stand on the side of the speaker and understand the speaker.
Children speak with children's reason, and adults speak with adults' reason. Obedient people are broad-minded, intelligent and compassionate.
Six realms of life: "70 and follow your heart"
No matter in ancient times or in modern times, when people reach the age of 70, they have a full house of children and grandchildren, and have worked hard all their lives, it is time to retire and enjoy life.
