Plows while growing up and drowning. Confucius passed it, which made Zi Lu interested. Chang Ju said, "Who is the ruler?" Zi Lu said, "For Kong Qiu." Yue: "Is it Lu Kong Qiu and?" Say, "Yes." He said, "I know Tianjin." Asked about Jie drowned, Jie drowned and said, "Who is the son?" Yue: "It's a secondary reason." He said, "Are you a disciple of Lu Kong Qiu?" Yes: "Of course." He said, "A talker is all over the world, but who can change it? What's more, instead of being a man who founded the world, what about being a man who founded the world? " Without stopping. Zi Lu xing to tell. The master suddenly said, "Birds and beasts should not be in the same group. I am not a follower of the people, and who is with me? There is a way in the world, and the hills are not easy. "

Note

"Long-term stagnation, stubborn drowning", two recluses. Because I don't know its name, I replace it with morphological characteristics, but the specific meaning is not available.

"couple", two people plough the land together. An ancient farming method.

"Zilu" is named Zhong You, and "Zilu" is its word. Confucius, a disciple of the political science department of Confucius, is nine years old. Be upright and courageous.

"Tianjin", the ferry.

"riding" means holding the reins of the carriage. A vehicle, especially a carriage. Driving a "rider" was originally a sub-road, but because he got off the bus, he was handed over to Confucius for the time being.

"surging" describes the chaotic world.

"Who can change it" means who can help the world. "With", can, can. For example, in Mencius, "the big one is king, and the small one is hegemony"; "Yi", which means both change and rectification, can be translated as "KuangFu"; "Zhi" refers to the turbulent world.

"and", therefore, so. "Qi", a word in classical Chinese, is used at the beginning of a sentence, similar to "Fu"; "And", therefore, so. For example, in Zuo Zhuan's Eight Years as a Duke, it is said that the field of Wenyang is the old city of our city, and we use our teachers to make it belong to our city. Or, as noted in Annotations on the Analects of Confucius, "and all words are words" can also be used. Usually "and" is used as "and", and "and" is used to connect "er" and "er".

"from", for also, participate in its affairs. For example, in Laozi, "Therefore, those who are engaged in Tao". It is usually interpreted as "following", but not following today.

"cultivating people" means avoiding the king who has no way. "Pioneering", both sound and meaning are the same as "avoiding"; "Man" here refers to the king who has no way.

"Mu", pronounced "excellent", was an agricultural tool used to level fields in ancient times. When used as a verb, it refers to loosening the soil and breaking up the clods or covering the seeds with soil. Here, it can refer to farming in general, such as "make the farmers keep on plowing and the workers can't get off the plane" in Han Yangxiong's "Changyang Fu".

"embarrassed", stunned. For example, in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, "it seems to be frightening". Usually interpreted as "frustrated", it seems not as good as the former. Because Confucius' psychological strength has always been strong, and secondly, Confucius should have been "obedient" at that time, and he would not be easily depressed by the words of others.

"the same group", * * *, interacting with each other.

"the followers of Sri Lanka and", that is, "the followers of Sri Lanka". "Si people", that is, "people" who "cultivate people", refer to the monarch and the politician. It is generally considered to refer to the world, and it is not from today; "ACTS" refers to people of the same kind; "and", carry and be together.

"harmony" refers to the act of helping. "and" sound "jade", participation. Such as "Son and Teacher of Uncle Jian" in Zuo Zhuan's Thirty-three Years of Xi Gong. Fight against the division, that is, join the army.

Comments

Confucius was blocked by the surging river on his way around the world. Seeing that Chang Ju and Jie Drowning were farming, he asked Zilu to ask where the ferry was. After learning that the "ruler" was Kong Qiu of Lu, Chang Ju said, "He knows Tianjin". It means that if you want to cross the "surging" river safely, you must cross the ferry; And if you want to spend the "river of life" in troubled times safely, you must live in seclusion like them. In other words, "avoiding the world" is a "life ferry" in troubled times. Although Confucius doesn't know where the river ferry is, he should know where the "life ferry" is.

Zilu was puzzled, so she had to turn to ask Jie drowned. However, Jie drowned and said to Zilu, "A talkative person is all over the world, but who can change it?" Ferries should avoid the fast-flowing water and be located in the gentle river section. But the world is full of "surging" water, and who can make the water flow smooth and make a ferry? Nowadays, the chaos of the world is just like the "surging water". Who can help the world easily? Jie drowned and then said, "Why don't you follow the man who founded the world instead of the man who founded the world?" A politician who has no way in the world and refuses to do it is like "surging water", which is inexhaustible and cannot be avoided. Therefore, although Confucius and his party ran around, they always had to leave because of Tao. Since "avoiding people" will inevitably be futile, why not avoid chaos and live in seclusion and become a "recluse" in order to "get over it once and for all" and "enjoy yourself while traveling"? After Jie drowned, he ignored Zilu and continued to farm with Chang Ju.

Zilu had no choice but to report back to Confucius. Of course, Confucius understood the meaning of their words, but he didn't expect that "making the child care about nothing" would meet two hermits, so he explained to his disciples in a little shock: "Birds and beasts can't be in the same group." How can people leave society to associate with "birds and beasts"? In the face of the chaotic world of "the talkative, the world is also", can escape solve the problem? It is precisely because there is no way in the world that people with a way need to make a difference, so that chaos can be easily ruled, and no way can be ruled, so that "the country will be ruled and the world will be peaceful." If there is a way in the world, where is it necessary to do something to help? Therefore, Confucius said: "There is a way in the world, and the hills are not easy." However, in order to help the people, it was obvious that they had to seek cooperation with the politicians at that time. Therefore, Confucius said, "I am not a foreigner, but who is with me?" Because of this, when Confucius traveled around the world, he would "as for a country, he must hear about its politics" (1.1).

people need Confucianism. What is "human needs"? Renye; When is "human need"? Chaos also. It is precisely because of the chaos of the world that Confucian scholars need to be easy to be chaotic and smooth; It is precisely because there is no Tao in the world that it is necessary for Confucianism to be easy to have no Tao. Therefore, Zeng Zi said, "Benevolence is my duty". Confucius was born in troubled times, aiming to save the world and help the people on the road. This is precisely the bodhisattva's heart and the position of "Mu Duo", and it is also the difference from the hermit who aims to avoid chaos and settle down.
