Original text Confucius said: "He who hears the Tao in the morning can die in the evening."
Translation Confucius said: "He who learns the Tao in the morning will die that evening." I am willing to die." This passage is often quoted by people.
What Confucius meant by Tao is controversial in academic circles. Our understanding is that the "Tao" mentioned by Confucius here refers to the highest principles of society and politics and the highest standards of life. This is mainly from the ethical sense. The original text of Confucius said: "Those who are unkind cannot stay together for a long time." (1), one cannot take advantage of others.
A benevolent person can be kind. (2) A wise person can benefit from benevolence. " Notes (1) About: Poverty and embarrassment.
(2) Anren and Liren: Anren means to be content with the way of benevolence; Liren means benevolence only when you believe that benevolence is beneficial to you. Translation Confucius said: "A person without benevolence cannot remain in poverty for a long time, nor can he be in peace and happiness for a long time.
A benevolent person is content with benevolence, and a wise person knows benevolence. Acting benevolently only when it is beneficial to oneself.” Commentary In this chapter, Confucius believes that people without benevolence cannot remain in poverty or happiness for a long time, otherwise, they will commit crimes or be arrogant and extravagant.
Only benevolent people are content with benevolence, and wise people will also practice benevolence. This idea hopes that people will pay attention to their personal moral integrity, remain determined and maintain their integrity in any environment.
The original text of the Confucius said: "Wealth and honor are what people want. If you don't get them by the way, you can't get them. Poverty and lowliness are what people hate. You can't get them by the way." Yes, don't go. Is it bad for a gentleman to become famous? If a gentleman never violates his benevolence, he will make mistakes and become rich."
Translation Confucius said: "Wealthy and noble people are the same. Everyone wants something, but if they don't get it in the right way, they won't enjoy it; poverty and lowliness are what everyone hates, but if they don't get rid of it in the right way, they won't get rid of it. How can you be called a gentleman if you don't have benevolence? A gentleman will not deviate from benevolence for a single meal. Even in the most urgent moment, he must act in accordance with benevolence. ”
Comment on this paragraph, which reflects Confucius’s view of rationality and desire. Previous studies on Confucius often ignored this paragraph. It seems that Confucius advocated that people only need benevolence and righteousness, not profit and desire.
This is not the case. No one is willing to live a life of poverty, hardship and displacement, and everyone hopes to be rich and comfortable.
But this must be obtained through legitimate means and channels. Otherwise, one would rather stay in poverty than enjoy wealth.
This concept still has its value that cannot be underestimated today. This chapter deserves careful scrutiny by researchers.
The original text of Confucius said: "A scholar is determined to follow the Tao, but he who is ashamed of bad clothes and food is not worthy of discussion." The translation of Confucius said: "A scholar is determined to (learn and practice the principles of the sage), but he is not worthy of discussion." He is also ashamed of his poor food and clothing. It is not worth talking to such a person about Tao."
Comments The meaning of "Tao" discussed in this chapter is roughly the same as that in the previous chapter. Here, Confucius believes that a person who cares about personal food, clothing and other trivial matters in life will not have lofty ambitions. Therefore, there is no need to discuss Tao issues with such people.
Original text Confucius said: "A gentleman cherishes (1) virtue, while a villain cherishes earth (2); a gentleman cherishes punishment (3), while a villain cherishes benefits." Comments (1) cherish: longing.
(2) Earth: Countryside. (3) Punishment: legal punishment.
Translation Confucius said: "The gentleman thinks about morality, the villain thinks about his country; the gentleman thinks about the rule of law, and the villain thinks about favor." Commentary This chapter once again mentions the two concepts of the gentleman and the villain. There are different types of personality forms. It is believed that gentlemen have high morals, have great minds and broad vision, and consider the affairs of the country and society, while villains only know about longing for their hometown, small favors, and only consider the livelihood of individuals and families.
This is one of the differences between a gentleman and a villain. The original text states: "Tao (1) is based on government, Qi (2) is punished, the people are exempted (3) and shameless (4), Tao is based on virtue, Qi is based on propriety, and there is shame and morality (5). ”
Note (1): There are two explanations: one is “guidance”; the other is “governance”. The former is more appropriate.
(2) Qi: neat and constrained. (3) Avoid: avoid, avoid.
(4) Shame: the feeling of shame. (5) Ge: There are two interpretations: one is "to"; the other is "zheng".
Translation Confucius said: "Use legal prohibitions to guide the people, use criminal laws to restrain them, the people just want to avoid being punished for crimes, but lose their sense of shame; use moral education to guide the people, use etiquette If the system unifies the words and deeds of the people, the people will not only feel ashamed, but also obey the rules." Commentary In this chapter, Confucius cited two completely different policies for governing the country.
Confucius believed that punishment can only make people avoid committing crimes, but cannot make people understand the shamefulness of committing crimes. Moral education is much more advanced than punishment. It can not only make people obey the rules, but also make people Have a sense of shame. This reflects that morality has different characteristics from the legal system in governing a country.
However, it should also be pointed out that Confucius's thought of "governing with virtue" should pay attention to morality, but it ignores the role of criminal administration and legal system in governing the country. 3. Sentences about morality in the Analects
