In the following chapter 22 of "The Analects of Confucius·Yan Yuan XII": Fan Chi asked Ren. Confucius said: "Love people." Asked. Confucius said: "Knowing people." Fan Chi did not reach it. Confucius said: "If you raise the straight and correct all the mistakes, you can make the mistakes straight." Fan Chi retreated and saw Zixia and said, "In the countryside, I saw Master and asked him about it. Confucius said, if you lift the straight and correct the mistakes, you can make the mistakes straight. , what is it?”… Fan Chi couldn’t figure out again and again why “knowing” means “knowing people”. Finally, Zixia quoted from many sources and explained that choosing upright people over crooked people can make a difference. The crooked person corrected himself and emphasized that the greatest "knowledge" is to know people and do their jobs well, so he was dismissed. Later, Fan Chi asked about benevolence again in Chapter 19 of "The Analects of Confucius: Zilu Thirteen". Confucius said sincerely: "Be respectful in your place, be respectful in your work, and be loyal to others. Even though you are a barbarian, you cannot abandon it." That is. Teach him to live a solemn and prudent life, handle affairs seriously, and be loyal and trustworthy in his dealings with others. Even in barbaric areas, it cannot be changed. All in all, Fan Chi asked about "benevolence" three times. This Mr. Fan may be a bit like Jia Baoyu, who is not interested in politics, so he is always unable to deeply understand the spiritual essence of these abstract political theories. Perhaps, slow reaction was the third reason why Confucius looked down on Fan Chi. Then there is the fourth chapter of Zilu 13 where Confucius said that Fan Chi was a villain: Fan Chi asked to learn from Jia. Confucius said: "I am not as good as an old farmer." Please learn from the garden. Said: "I am not as good as Laopu." Fan Chi came out. Confucius said: "What a villain, Fan Xu! If you are good at etiquette, the people will not dare to be disrespectful; if you are good at righteousness, no people will dare to be disobedient; if you are good at faith, then the people will not dare to be unkind. If this is the case, then the people of all directions will Qin came here carrying his son, how can he use crops?" Fan Chi asked Confucius for advice on growing crops and vegetables, but Confucius said that he was not as good as a farmer. When Fan Chi went out, Confucius said, Fan Chi is such a villain! Leaders pay attention to etiquette, reasonableness and appropriateness, and faithfulness. How can the common people be disrespectful, disobedient, or insincere? If we do this, people from all over the world will rush to join us with their children on their backs, so there is no need to grow crops by ourselves. As mentioned before, here, Confucius mainly thought that Fan Chi had no ambition. However, the Analects of Confucius, borrowing from a hermit, once said that Confucius "does not work hard on the four bodies, and does not distinguish the five grains." Fan Chi chose to ask Confucius for advice on farming. If he didn't mean it, it would be quite shameless. Therefore, having no ambition and no eyes may be the fourth and fifth reasons why Confucius looked down on Fan Chi.
