Ten of Confucius’ curse words are as follows:
1. Only women and villains are difficult to raise.
This may be Confucius's most famous curse word, and it is also the most easily misunderstood. In fact, the "women" and "villains" mentioned here refer to people who are cunning, despicable and shameless at heart, and are not meant to belittle women and poor people.
2. If you are old but do not die, you are a thief!
The background of Confucius saying this was that the mother of his good friend Yuan Rang died. Confucius went to mourn and found Yuan Rang sitting on the steps with his legs spread apart to greet Confucius. It was a little sad. His appearance was not shown. Confucius was very angry and sighed: "If you don't pay attention to filial piety when you are a child, you will not achieve anything when you grow up. When you grow old and do not die, you will become a murderer!"
Three, the initiator will have no descendants! ?
4. Rotten wood cannot be carved, and a wall of dung cannot be made! The reason why Confucius said this was because he had a student named Zaiyu. Zaiyu was talented but not easy to learn. Once he fell asleep in Confucius' class. After Confucius saw him, he felt that his student was hopeless. So Confucius said that some people are like rotten wood, which cannot be carved, and like walls close to dung, which cannot make them more filthy. This has also become a mantra that everyone uses to describe a person who is hopeless.
5. If you leave it alone, you will not die!
6. What’s the point of those who fight against bamboo?
The background of Confucius uttering this curse word was Zigong asking a scholar. Zigong asked what kind of person can be called a scholar? Confucius gave the answer in his heart. He believed that only those who have a sense of shame and can complete the mission entrusted by the monarch can be called scholars. Zigong then asked whether the current rulers could be called scholars? Confucius replied in a disdainful tone, how can people with such narrow-mindedness be regarded as scholars? The douzao here is a unit of capacity, which describes a very small volume of energy.
7. Guan knows etiquette, but who doesn’t know etiquette?
8. If you are not my disciple, you can beat the drum and attack!
Nineth, those who look sharp but have a soft heart are like villains, they are like thieves who have gone through the tunnel!
Ten or eight people dancing in the court are tolerable, but which one is intolerable?
