A story about Confucius' reading

1. Being tireless in teaching

Confucius spent most of his life teaching, and he taught many students, known as "three thousand Confucius students", among whom 72 were famous. Confucius is a good teacher. When he lectures, he always tries to make the main points clear so that every student can understand. Moreover, Confucius is good at enlightening. He always patiently guides students to think deeply about problems, according to the characteristics of each student.

adopt different educational methods to develop students' specialties. Therefore, Confucius' students' thoughts were very active, and many people had their own unique opinions, such as Yan Hui and Zilu, who were very famous people at that time. It is precisely because of Confucius' profound knowledge, teaching and educating people, and tireless teaching that later generations called him "Confucius Sage".

2. Take the fisherman as a teacher

One day, Confucius was resting in the Woods with all the students, and Confucius enjoyed himself playing the piano. There was an old fisherman on a boat near the river bank. He asked Confucius' students, "Who is this old man who plays the piano?" Zi Gong said, "He is a Confucius sage who is famous for his kindness and loyalty." The fisherman said, "I'm afraid it's dangerous to forget the truth and be kind."

When Confucius heard this, he immediately went to the fisherman and worshipped him respectfully. He said, "I have been studying since I was a child, and now I am 69 years old. I have never heard such profound teaching, so I came to ask you for advice." The fisherman expounded his views rudely. Confucius was very inspired and kept nodding. Finally, Confucius said humbly to the fisherman, "I am really lucky to meet Mr. Wang, and I am willing to be your student."

3. Don't be ashamed to ask questions

Born in the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius was a great thinker and educator in China and the founder of Confucianism. He is knowledgeable and has 3, students, and he was honored as a "saint" at that time. At that time, people, from ordinary people to princes and ministers, even kings, liked to ask Confucius for advice if they didn't understand anything. In their eyes, Confucius could be called a man who knew everything.

However, Confucius was not complacent because of people's admiration. He always thought that "when three people walk together, one of them can be my teacher", so he became more modest and cautious. One day, Confucius went to the ancestral temple to attend the ancestor worship ceremony of the king of Lu. As soon as he entered the ancestral temple, he asked others about the ancestor worship ceremony and asked almost every detail.

At that time, some people laughed at him and said, "Who said that' the son of Zou' (Confucius' father was a county magistrate in Zou County, so some people called him' the son of Zou' at that time) knew etiquette, and he didn't have to ask others everything when he came to the ancestral temple ~" Confucius was not ashamed at all after hearing the man's sarcasm, but smiled and replied, "I will definitely ask what I don't understand.

This is precisely the expression of my request for courtesy. If I pretend to know when I don't know, and I am ashamed to ask others, then I will never know etiquette. " In order to increase his knowledge and knowledge, Confucius once learned from many people. He has consulted the official name of Zanzi, studied temperament from Changhong, studied piano playing from Shi Xiang, and also consulted Lao Zi about the truth in Zhou Li.

At that time, the reputations of such people as Tan Zi, Changhong and Shi Xiang were far below that of Confucius. However, Confucius still humbly asked them for advice and learned from their strengths to make up for their own shortcomings, so their knowledge became increasingly refined and they became a Confucian master with far-reaching influence on later generations. At that time, there was a doctor named Kong Cong in Weiguo. He was smart, studious and very modest, and was deeply respected by the king of Weiguo.

After Kong Lai's death, the King of Wei gave him the title of "Wen Gong" in order to let future generations learn and carry forward his diligent, studious, modest and prudent spirit. Zi Gong, a student of Confucius, was also a patriotic man, but he didn't think that Confucius deserved such a high evaluation. One day, I asked Confucius, "Although Confucius' knowledge and talent are very high.

But there are many people who are more outstanding than him. Why should we give him the title of' Wen Gong'? "Confucius said with a smile:" Kong Cong is diligent and studious, and his mind is smart and flexible, and if there is anything he doesn't understand, he will ask others generously and modestly, even if the other person's position or knowledge is not as good as his, he is not ashamed at all.

This is his rare place, so it is very appropriate to give him the title of' Wengong'. " After Confucius' explanation, Zi Gong was finally convinced.

4. Ask Laozi

In the spring of 521 BC, Confucius learned that his student Gong Jingshu was ordered by the king of Lu to go to Luoyang, Kyoto, Zhou Dynasty to worship the emperor. He thought it was a good opportunity to ask Laozi, the guardian of Tibetan history in Zhou Dynasty, for knowledge of "etiquette", so he got the consent of Lu Zhaogong and went with Gong Jingshu. On the second day of his arrival in Kyoto, Confucius went to the Tibetan History Office on foot to visit Laozi.

Lao Zi, who was writing the Classic of Tao Te Ching, heard that Kong Qiu, who was famous all over the world, came to ask for advice, so he quickly put down his knife and pencil, tidied up his clothes and went out to meet him. When Confucius saw an old man coming out of the gate, he thought it was Lao Tzu. He hurried forward and respectfully saluted Lao Tzu. After entering the hall, Confucius bowed again before sitting down.

Lao Tzu asked Confucius why he came, and Confucius left his seat and replied, "I have little knowledge and know nothing about the ancient' etiquette system', so I specially asked my teacher for advice." Seeing that Confucius was so sincere, Lao Tzu expressed his views in detail.

5. Wei Bian San Jue

Confucius lost his father when he was young, and his family was poor. He didn't receive a good education, so he could only acquire knowledge through self-study. Since the age of fifteen, Confucius has been eager to study, because there is no one to teach him, and he has to ask people everywhere for advice when he encounters problems in his studies. As long as he can answer his own questions, he can be a teacher no matter who he is. He consulted officials and ordinary people.

I have taught old people with white hair, and also consulted children with pigtails on their heads. Confucius became a famous local scholar at the age of 3 because he was open-minded and eager to learn. At that time, there was no paper, and the main material for making books was bamboo. Generally, bamboo is cut into pieces of bamboo sticks, the green peel on them is scraped off, and then the words are engraved on them after being dried with fire, which is called "bamboo slips".

Bamboo slips have a certain length and width. A bamboo slip can only write one line of characters, ranging from dozens to eight or nine. It takes a lot of bamboo slips to write a book. After all the contents of the book are written, these bamboo pieces can be connected in order with a solid cowhide rope, so you can read them. This process is called "Wei Bian". Because a piece of bamboo slips can only write very few words.

So if a book has a lot of words, it needs dozens or even hundreds of pounds of bamboo pieces. Books like the Book of Changes are of course made up of many bamboo slips, so they are quite heavy. Confucius didn't learn the Book of Changes until his later years. The Book of Changes is an ancient book that is difficult to read. Confucius made great efforts to read it all, but he only got a basic understanding of its contents.

Then, he read it for the second time and grasped its basic points. Then, he read it for the third time and got a thorough understanding of its spirit and essence. Since then, in order to study the book in depth and explain it to the students, he has read the Book of Changes many times. Reading and reading like this, the cowhide belt of the serial bamboo slips has also been worn off several times, and it has to be replaced with a new one to read again.

this tireless spirit is very touching. Even after reading this, Confucius said modestly, "If I can live a few more years, I can understand more about the words and contents of the Book of Changes."

Second, Confucius' short story

1. Being angry and forgetting to eat

Yin of a county in Chu asked his disciples to talk about Confucius, but his disciples were so careless that he didn't say a word, so Yin of the county had to go back disgruntled. When Confucius learned this, he was very unhappy and complained, Why didn't you say: My teacher is a good scholar who forgets to eat and eat with anger, but forgets his worries with joy! The disciple understood immediately, and said with shame, "Teacher, I was confused. Now I finally understand.

If anyone asks me again in the future, I will answer as my teacher tells me. " As soon as Confucius was comfortable, he smiled happily: "Good, good, good." As the saying goes, the smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley, but Confucius knows how to blow it at the right time. It is really a model for us to learn!

2, beating drums and attacking

Ran Qiu, a disciple of Confucius, was working in the DPRK, preparing to try out the new law, and asked Confucius for advice. Confucius happened to be on the conservative side, so he was so angry that he called Ran Qiu a dog's blood spray, and Ran Qiu insisted on his own reform again and again, so Confucius issued a killing order to all the disciples: Ran Qiu is not my disciple, so attack him together! "The Analects of Confucius. Advanced article "Seek, not my disciple, but my boy can attack with drums!

3. To bully the weak

Zhi, the leader of a slave uprising, was scorned by the literati as a thief. Confucius wanted to persuade the thief to take the right path, so he dared to find him, only to get a burst of abuse from the thief, which made Confucius lose his sight, look like dirt and feel ashamed! Come on, people who are tired of looking at Confucius have a chance.

Scold along with the hero who stole your feet: "You dead master, you eat well without working, but wear well without spinning. You are the biggest thief in the world by wagging your lips and stirring up trouble all day, making false acts of honoring your parents and loving your brothers.

After the rise of Yao and Shun, a hundred ministers were set up, the king was exiled by Shang, and Shang Zhou was killed by Zhou Wuwang. Since then, the society has been bullying the weak. What you said is something I spurn, which can't preserve human nature. It's all hypocritical and deceitful things.

4. the hill of the owner

Confucius' famous hill, his hometown of Shandong, has been known to almost everyone for thousands of years. However, he was not so famous when he was alive. [[Confucius family language]] It is said that there is an old man living in the west of Confucius, but he is not a neighbor. He is a big shot. Every time he mentions Confucius, he will call him by his nickname and say that he is the hill of my boss.

5. When you are angry and forget your worries, you will forget your worries.

When Confucius was 63 years old, he once described himself as: "When you are angry and forget your worries, you will forget your worries and you will never know when you are old." At that time, Confucius had led his disciples to travel around the world for nine years, and went through hardships. Not only did he not get the appointment of governors, but he almost died. However, Confucius was not discouraged, still optimistic, stuck to his ideals, and even knew that he could not do it.

Three stories about Confucius' reading are four words, such as the book in the Spring and Autumn Period, which was compiled by Confucius' Wei Sanjue.

The book is mainly made of bamboo. Bamboo is broken into bamboo slips, which are called bamboo slips, and then written on the answer surface after being dried with fire. Bamboo slips have a certain length and width, and a bamboo slip can only write one line, ranging from dozens to eight or nine. These bamboo slips must be tied together with strong ropes before they can be read. Books like Yi are of course tied together by many bamboo slips, so they have considerable weight. Kong Qiu spent a lot of energy reading all of Yi and basically understood its contents. He read it for the second time soon and mastered its basic points. Then he read it for the third time. In order to study this book in depth and explain it to his disciples, he has read it many times. After reading it, the leather belt connecting bamboo slips has been worn off several times, and he has to put it on for reuse many times. Even after reading this, Confucius said modestly, "If I live a few more years, I can fully grasp the text and quality of the Book of Changes."

Fourth, some small things Confucius did when writing a book. Several people upstairs don't know what to answer. Sima Qian said that Zhong Nieu wrote Chunqiu, which is a story about the Chunqiu written by Confucius. The following is a story about Confucius' Spring and Autumn Annals recorded in Historical Records. It is probably about why Confucius wrote, what he wrote, what influence he had at that time, Confucius' own evaluation and so on.

Confucius said, "A gentleman's illness has no world, so his name doesn't matter. I can't do it, why do I see myself in the future? " Because the historical records were written in the Spring and Autumn Period, they went up to the hidden public, and they mourned the public for fourteen years and twelve. According to Lu, pro-Zhou, so Yin, three generations of luck. About his words, he refers to Bo. Therefore, the king of Wu Chu claimed to be the king, but in the Spring and Autumn Period he called it "Zi"; The meeting of practicing soil actually called Zhou Tianzi, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was taboo to say that "the heavenly king was inaugural in Heyang": pushing this kind of rope to live in the world. The derogatory meaning was later opened by the king. The righteous deeds in the Spring and Autumn Period will make the world's rebels and thieves afraid.

Confucius listened to the lawsuit while he was in office, and his words were unique to others. As for the spring and autumn period, the pen is the pen, and the cutting is the cutting. The people in the summer can't praise it. Disciples received the Spring and Autumn Period, and Confucius said, "Those who know the hills in future generations will take the Spring and Autumn Period, and those who sin the hills will also take the Spring and Autumn Period."

The Spring and Autumn Annals ended with the capture of Kirin. It is said that when Confucius heard the news, he burst into tears and said, "My way is poor", so he stopped writing Spring and Autumn Annals. Later, Sima Qian's Historical Records also ended with the capture of Kirin by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which was influenced by Confucius.

Five story names related to Confucius, at least five

Ji's generals attacked ZhuanXu, were more tyrannical than tigers, two children argued about Japan, argued about righteousness and benefit, and Confucius learned the piano.

1. Ji will attack zhuanxu

Ji Sun will attack zhuanxu. Ran You and Ji Lu met Confucius and said, "Ji Sun's family is ready to take military action against zhuanxu." Confucius said: "Ran You! I'm afraid I should blame you. That zhuanxu was once regarded by the former king as the person in charge of the sacrifice of Dongmeng Mountain, and it was located in the territory of Lu. This is a vassal of the state of Lu. Why should we punish it? "

Ran You said, "If Ji Sun wants to do this, neither of us are willing to be servants."

Confucius said, "Ran You! Zhou Ren has a saying:' If you can display your talents, you will take that position; if you can't, you won't take that position.' Blind people don't care when they are in danger, but they don't help when they are about to fall, so why use that photographer? Besides, what you said is wrong. The tiger and rhinoceros ran out of the cage, and the tortoise shell and jade were destroyed in the box. Whose fault is this?

ran you said, "nowadays, the zhuanxu city wall is strong and close to Philadelphia. If we don't seize it now, future generations will surely become the worries of future generations." Confucius said: "Ran You! A gentleman hates people who don't say what they want to do, but make up excuses to prevaricate. I heard that all the literati had their own fiefs. They were not afraid of not much wealth but uneven distribution, not afraid of not many people but afraid of instability.

if the distribution of property is fair and reasonable, there will be no poverty; If you live in harmony, you don't have to worry about fewer people; With social stability, there is no danger of overturning the country. According to this truth, if the original distant people don't submit, they will carry forward the civilized education to make him submit; After bringing him here, we should settle him down. Now Ji Sun is assisted by the supplicant and the supplicant, but the people far away are not obedient, but they cannot be brought.

The country is divided and cannot maintain its stability and unity; Instead, it plans to rise up in the country. I'm afraid that Ji Sun's worries are not in the state of Lu, but within the state of Lu. "

Second, tyranny is fiercer than tiger

Confucius passed by the foot of Mount Tai, and a woman was crying at the grave. Confucius held the crossbar in front of the car to listen to the woman's cry and asked Zi Lu to ask the woman. Zilu asked, "You are crying like this, as if you have several sad things in succession."
