Confucius’ classic saying: He who reviews the past and learns the new can become a teacher. Isn’t it true that one should learn and practice it from time to time? Wouldn’t it be great to have friends from far away? Isn't it a gentleman if a person doesn't know something but doesn't get upset? Those who know are not as good as those who know well, and those who are good are not as good as those who are happy. Among the three of us, we must have a teacher. Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones. The beauty of a gentleman is not the evil of a man, but the evil of a villain is. They have different ways and do not seek each other. To make mistakes without correcting them is to make mistakes.

A gentleman cherishes virtue, while a villain cherishes earth; a gentleman cherishes punishment, while a villain cherishes favor.

Only the benevolent can do good to others and do evil to others.

A gentleman wants to be slow in speech, but quick in action.

A gentleman is not careful in comparing himself with others, while a villain is not careful in comparing himself with others.

A gentleman is known as righteousness, and a villain is known as benefit.

A gentleman has nothing to do with the world.

A scholar who aspires to the Tao but is ashamed of those who wear bad clothes and eat badly is not worthy of discussion.

Being so angry that one forgets to eat, being so happy that one forgets to worry, not knowing that old age is coming... Eat sparingly, drink water, bend your arms and rest on them, and enjoy them. Being rich and noble without justice is like a floating cloud to me. Xianzai, come back! A basket of food and a ladle of drink, in a back alley, people can't bear to worry about it. Even if I return, I will not change my joy. Xianzai, come back! Wealth and honor are what people want; if they don't follow the right path, they won't get it. Poverty and lowliness are what people hate; if you don't follow the right path, you won't get rid of them. If you are rich and can be sought after, even if you are a whip-carrying man, I will do it. If you can't ask for it, do as I like. Isn’t it great to have friends from far away? Think of righteousness when you see benefit, and give orders when you see danger. Cultivation of oneself to bring respect to oneself Cultivation of oneself to bring peace of mind to others...Cultivation of oneself to bring peace of mind to the people. You can support an orphan six feet away, you can send a life a hundred miles away, and you can't take it away on a big day. A man with lofty ideals and benevolence will not harm his benevolence by seeking life, but will sacrifice his life to achieve benevolence. The king died due to illness and his name was not known. A man who is a good man is upright and righteous. Observe words and colors, and consider the following people. A gentleman is peaceful but not arrogant; a villain is arrogant but not arrogant. For a gentleman, things are easy but difficult to express (pleasure). Saying (pleasure) is not done in the right way, not saying (pleasure). A gentleman's official position is to act righteously. Zi said Yu Chan. There are four principles of a gentleman: he behaves respectfully towards himself, he is respectful in his conduct, he benefits the people when he nourishes them, and he treats the people righteously. Gentlemen are harmonious but different; villains are harmonious but not harmonious. A gentleman is reserved and does not fight, and he is a group but not a party. A gentleman is not careful in comparing himself with others, while a villain is not careful in comparing himself with others. A gentleman is magnanimous, but a villain is always worried. The benevolent do not worry, the wise do not be confused, the brave do not fear. If you act in favor of profit, you will complain a lot. Seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence, why complain? If quality is better than literature, the country will be wild; if literature is better than quality, history will be achieved. Be polite, then be a gentleman. A gentleman seeks the road but not food; a gentleman worries about the road but not poverty. How can we not care about the French language? Change it to expensive. If you hold your hand and talk to it, can you say nothing? Make it valuable. If I say it but don’t explain it, and therefore don’t change it, then I’m done with it. Seeing the good is like exploring the soup. A gentleman respects the virtuous and tolerates others, praises the good but is reserved. No. 1. Confucius said: "Isn't it right to learn and practice it over time? Isn't it a joy to have friends come from afar? Isn't it a gentleman if a person doesn't know and is not surprised?"

Translation Confucius said : "Isn't it nice to have learned and review and practice often? Isn't it nice to have like-minded people coming from afar? People don't understand me, and I don't feel resentful or angry. I'm also a virtuous gentleman. ”

Cultivation of the Right Mind

How Confucius was made_

Confucius is an immortal saint in our country and even the world, but I don’t know anything about him . When I mention Confucius, a picture and that wise saying appear in front of my eyes.

Life of Confucius

Confucius was a great thinker, politician, educator, and founder of Confucianism in ancient China. His teachings not only influenced the development process of China for thousands of years, but also profoundly It has profoundly influenced every Chinese person's thoughts and behavior patterns, and has become the theoretical basis of Eastern people's character and psychology.

The Confucian culture founded by Confucius is extensive and profound, forming the mainstream and foundation of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, and it still plays a huge positive role in social life today. Confucius belongs not only to history, but also to contemporary times, not only to China, but also to the world.

Confucius lost his father in his early years and his family declined. He once said: "I am young and humble, so I can do many despicable things." When he was young, he worked as a "commissioner" (managing warehouses) and "Chengtian" (managing cattle and sheep). Although he lived in poverty, Confucius became "dedicated to learning" at the age of fifteen. He is good at learning from others. He once said: "When three people walk, they must have my teacher. Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones." ("The Analects of Confucius·Shu Er") He learned from the impermanent teacher and never tired of learning. The villagers also praised him as "erudite".

Since the promulgation of the Duke of Lu, the political power of the State of Lu has been in the hands of the three Huans headed by the Ji family. In the early years of Duke Zhao, the three families divided up Lu Jun's military power. Kong Liao once expressed his indignation at Ji's arrogant behavior of "eight people dancing in the court". In the 25th year of Zhaogong (517 BC), Lu was in civil strife, and Confucius left Lu and went to Qi. Duke Jinggong of Qi asked Confucius about government affairs, and Confucius said: "Junjun, ministers, fathers, sons, sons." He also said, "Government is about saving money." The political power of Qi was controlled by the official Chen family. Although Jinggong liked Confucius' words, he could not use them. . Confucius failed to achieve his goals in Qi, so he returned to Lu, "retired to study poetry, calligraphy, ritual and music, and had many disciples." People from far away came to study from almost all the vassal states. At that time, Lu's political power was controlled by the Ji family, and the Ji family was controlled by his retainer Yang Huo. Confucius was dissatisfied with the situation in which the government was not in the hands of the king but in the hands of the officials, who "accompanied the ministers to carry out the country's orders", and was unwilling to serve as an official. He said: "Being unjust and rich and noble is like a floating cloud to me."

After Confucius returned to Lu, the people of Lu respected him as "the elder of the country". At the beginning, Duke Ai of Lu and Ji Kangzi often consulted each other on political affairs. But it was never reused. In his later years, Confucius devoted himself to organizing documents and continuing his education. Confucius died in the 16th year of Duke Ai of Lu (479 BC) and was buried on the Surabaya River in the north of Lu City.

After reading this book, I feel that Confucius is really an amazing great man! Although he lived in poverty, he never wavered in his strong will to study. He used the reputation of his ancestors to constantly encourage himself to study hard. When he was in his twenties, he worked as a small historian and managed a warehouse. Although this official was very small, he did it very seriously. He used the knowledge he had learned to calculate every account clearly. And he is also a good and honest official. In addition, Confucius was still an open-minded and studious person. He went to see Laozi and asked him many questions. Lao Tzu knew the reputation of Confucius and took the trouble to tell him about it one by one. After Confucius came back from Laozi, his disciples gradually increased and he became more respected. This obviously meant that Confucius corrected some of his original shortcomings. This shows that Confucius was not satisfied with the status quo and was eager to learn more knowledge. .
