Completely write out famous quotes taken out of context

1. Repaying evil with kindness Original sentence: "One might say: 'How about repaying evil with kindness?' The Master said: "How to repay kindness? "Repay vengeance with straightness, repay kindness with kindness" - "The Analects of Confucius" I never expected that there was another passage after Confucius's sentence "Repay vengeance with kindness". What was it? Confucius said: "Repay kindness with kindness, how can we repay kindness?" Repay vengeance with straightness and repay kindness with kindness! "After reading it, I suddenly realized that we had all been played by some Confucius FANS who quoted it out of context! What was the real situation at that time? One of Confucius' disciples asked him: Master, someone hit me, I Instead of beating him, I want to be nice to him, shame him to death with my morality and education, and make him repent, okay? Confucius said, "If you repay kindness with kindness, why should you repay kindness with kindness?" Only when you were young did you need to repay others with kindness; but now that someone hits you, you should 'repay them directly' and throw bricks at them! " 2. The people can follow it, but they cannot know it. Original sentence: "The Master said: He thrives in poetry, establishes himself in rituals, and succeeds in music. Confucius said: The people can follow it, but they cannot know it. "——"The Analects of Confucius? Uncle Qin" We know that articles in the Spring and Autumn Period did not have punctuation marks. If future generations want to study the articles at that time, they have to go through a process of "sentence segmentation", that is, according to the context and meaning. Add punctuation and pauses at appropriate places in the sentences, so that you can come up with a smooth and coherent sentence. Insert a sentence here, why are Confucius's articles quoted so much by later generations? This is of course Confucius himself. Secondly, because of his fame, his quotations cover a very wide range, including almost all aspects of social life. In this way, later generations, no matter who they are and what their purpose is, can take Confucius's words out of context. Quote relevant parts of it, and add your own personal interpretation and sentence fragments to prove your point of view. For example, the current sentence "The people can make it but cannot make it known". From the previous article, our Mr. Kong is right. We have been discussing three kinds of educational issues: poetry, etiquette and music, but why did it suddenly turn into an instruction to teach emperors about power? It turns out that this was taken out of context by later generations with ulterior motives, and they deliberately used a word in the middle of the sentence. The inappropriate "sentence segmentation" creates ambiguity in this sentence. Combining the context, we can easily come up with the correct sentence segmentation method of this sentence: "The Master said: To thrive in poetry is to establish oneself in rituals. , become happy. If the people can do it, let them follow it; if it can't, let them know it. "The whole sentence of Confucius means that the three things of poetry, etiquette, and music are the basis for educating the people. They must be done well. If the people have mastered poetry, etiquette, and music, well, let them play freely. If the people still can't play, We have to educate them and let them know and understand these things." You see, this is the original intention of Mr. Kong, the great educator who "teaches without distinction". A good sentence was turned into Confucius's art of fooling the people and preventing them from seeking knowledge by those bastards with ulterior motives. I really don’t know what those SBs who misinterpreted these words think. If you want to say that this kind of p-word was said by the educator Confucius, who would believe it? Are you fooling the people into thinking they are idiots? 3. If you are not poisonous, you will not be a husband. Original sentence: If you are petty, you are not a gentleman, and if you are excessive, you are not a husband. ——————The folk proverb couplet says that a small amount of money is not a gentleman, and a person who is not poisonous is not a husband. This sentence is definitely one of the funniest examples of many falsehoods in China. Even for junior high school students who have just completed nine years of compulsory education, We can also easily see what is wrong with this. First of all, this non-toxic and non-husband attitude greatly deviates from the values ????advocated by the ancients we know. A real husband naturally refers to those men who are frank and broad-minded. What? Can the prefixes of viciousness, insidiousness, and backstabbing be put in front to describe a man? It turns out that this proverb from the folk should have been "a man who is too small is not a gentleman, and a man who is too generous is not a husband." This is originally a very good sentence, and it makes full use of antithesis.

It shows a masculine and powerful spirit, and the image of a man with an open mind is vivid on the paper. Unfortunately, this sentence passed down from word to mouth by the working people has reached the mouths of the so-called "gentlemen" who have learned a lot in the court. A different flavor. Why? This starts from the habits of literati in ancient times. In this couplet-style proverb, "Du" is the oblique tone character. It is guilty of Guping, and it is awkward to pronounce. It is easy to read as the flat tone character "DU". Those who have a sense of musical beauty Scholars with high requirements had nothing to do one day, so they used their expertise to make their own decisions and changed this sentence to "No poison, no husband", so this sentence finally became a typical "faith statement". The example sentence "If you are not beautiful, you will not believe a good word" has become another victim of the writings of pedantic literati. "A gentleman is not a gentleman if he is too small, and he is not a husband if he is too generous." In the original sentence, a gentleman treats a husband, and a person treats another person. Originally, it is It is a perfect sentence, but after thousands of years of misinformation, it has become the mantra that we now hang on our lips: "No poison, no husband." 4. Only women and villains are difficult to raise. Original sentence: Only women and villains are difficult to raise. Those who are close will not have grandchildren, and those who are far away will be resentful. ——————"The Analects of Confucius? Yang Huo" Under what circumstances did Confucius say the sentence "Only women and villains are difficult to raise"? Who was this said to? In "Historical Records: The Family of Confucius", it is mentioned that Confucius went to defend the country before. Confucius "lived in Wei for more than a month. Duke Ling and his wife were in the same carriage. The eunuch Yongqu rode out and made Confucius take the second ride. He passed through the market in a swagger. Confucius said: "I have never seen anyone who loves virtue as much as he loves sex." So he went to Wei." Let me roughly translate this sentence. Mr. Kong, a contemporary national education model, was invited by the king of Wei. Weiguo visited to study and recuperate, but during this period, Mr. Kong suddenly found that he had been cheated. People were simply using his status to show off and promote themselves, and they did not really support him in coming here to educate the people of Weiguo, especially It was Duke Ling of Wei's wife who publicly showed off and belittled Confucius in order to raise her own stature. Mr. Kong was so depressed. Do you, Duke Ling of Wei, prefer virtue and talent, or do you prefer women? Which one is more important to you, me or your wife? Gan Jian finished eating by himself, but no one cared about him. Confucius was angry and said: "I have never seen anyone who loves virtue as much as lust! Throw it away! There is no place for me to stay here, I have my own place to stay! GO, GO, GO!" After packing up his luggage, he left the Kingdom of Wei. After leaving, he felt calm. Thinking of the bad things about the wife of the Duke of Wei, who relied on being favored, was arrogant and domineering, disrupted the government and disturbed the people, she sighed: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise. ! If you are close, you will not be a descendant; if you are far, you will be resentful." 5. My life has limits, but my knowledge has no limits. Original sentence: My life also has a limit, but my knowledge also has no limit. If I have a limit, it will follow the limitless, and I am almost dead.——————"Zhuangzi? The Master of Health Preservation", "My life also has a limit, but my knowledge also has no limit." We are in this sentence Where do you see them most? First, it is the library, and second, it is on the back wall of every primary school across the country. According to people's current common understanding, this sentence is really an inspirational aphorism for learning. Life has limits, and knowledge has no limits. How noble. Goal, this is much more powerful than Confucius's "Learning and practicing with pleasure". Throughout the ages, countless students have been inspired by this sentence to cut through walls and listen to the chickens dancing. They work hard and pursue advancement. Those books that can never be read, motivation, idols, Zhuangzi can still say such inspiring words when he is seventy or eighty years old. How can we, the young generation, lose to him when we are still young? How can I live up to his old man if I don't study hard? But telling the truth often makes people dumbfounded. This sentence of Zhuangzi actually says this, "My life also has a limit, but my knowledge has no limit. If I have a limit, I will follow the limitless, and I will die." My life, Zhuangzi, is limited. , but the knowledge I face is infinite. If I have to use my limited life to pursue the kind of end that I can never see, do you think I am SB? This will kill you~~ Zhuangzi is a free and easy person who pursues letting nature take its course and being pure and inactive. He believes that people only need to eat to be full. There is no need to pursue luxury. Just wear clothes and don't freeze. In fact, No need to compare with anyone.

The same is true for knowledge. Just learn enough and put it to use. Knowledge is learned just to use it. No matter how awesome you are, can you still use all the knowledge in the world? Since you can't use it, then why are you spending your whole life learning it? You have spent all your time studying, so how can you have time to use what you have learned? Isn't this just like someone who eats to show off and dresses to compare with others? Isn't this completely putting the cart before the horse? Therefore, in his book "The Master of Health", he gave a warning to future generations of nerds who have fallen into this vicious circle. If you study hard and blindly and learn everything indiscriminately, it is not good for your health and will kill yourself~~ 6. Help each other. Original sentence: It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes than to help each other - "Zhuangzi? The Great Master" Speaking of this sentence, it actually has a lot of origins. I think everyone has heard of this popular word now, right? Jianghu, where did this "jianghu" come from? Many people think that it was originally a sentence in Gu Long's novel "People are in rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves". In fact, this is not the case. The earliest source of the word "jianghu" is in Zhuangzi's sentence "Let each other help each other." In the chapter "The Great Master", Zhuangzi tells us such a short story: "The spring dries up, the fish and the fish are on the land. They are wet with each other, and they are wet with foam. It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes." What he is talking about is that one day, at a glance, The spring water dried up and two small fish were trapped in a small puddle. In order to survive, they blew bubbles from each other's mouths and used their own moisture to moisten each other's bodies, supporting each other and relying on each other. However, instead of supporting each other on the verge of death, it is better for everyone to find a waterway and happily return to the vast rivers and lakes, return to their respective worlds, forget each other, and be free. What a beautiful scene to be together, although this is not the most ideal state of love. No matter how uneducated the old lady in the neighborhood committee was at that time, she would definitely say this sentence. In the era of our parents' generation, when marriages were arranged through organizations, this sentence supported many couples with different personalities but little emotional foundation. Until today, we have been supporting each other, what a good role model, but I never thought about it back then, I just didn’t know at that time, since we need to support each other to support, why don’t we just let go freely and let go of ourselves and each other to find each other? For happiness, how about finding their respective worlds? Just a sigh, we never thought that apart from a word of mutual affection, it turns out that we can still forget each other in the world. 7: The heaven and the earth are unkind, and treat all things as gulls. Original sentence: The heaven and earth are unkind, and regard all things as gulls. The saints are unkind, and regard the common people as gulls. ------- "Tao Te Ching" Most people understand it as "The heaven and earth are cruel and unkind, and treat all things as gulls." They are all treated as lowly pigs and dogs, and the so-called saints who are above us are no different. They also treat us ordinary people as something inferior to pigs and dogs!" In fact, it is not just a literal interpretation, saying that the world is cruel and unkind, Treating everything in the world as pigs and dogs, saints being unkind, and treating the common people as pigs and dogs is not what you think at all. The so-called superior rulers regard the common people as lowly and abject. In fact, the real meaning of this sentence is that the heaven and earth are not emotional and treat all things equally, while the saints are not emotional and treat the common people equally.

The sentence you admire does not contain the oppression and discrimination you need in its original meaning. On the contrary, it speaks of a fair truth. All of us and all sentient beings are equal in the eyes of heaven and earth. Yes, why are you gnawing dry bread now while others are eating seafood dinner? Before shouting that it's unfair, why don't you think about whether you have shed the same sweat as him? If you can't figure it out, that's fine, then don't think about it. Why don't you try to reverse this "injustice" a little through your own efforts? Is it useful to just scream about injustice, scream about the lack of justice, and wait for a pie to fall from the sky to compensate for your grievances and regrets and the youth you are losing that will never be returned?
