Confucius was smart and studious since he was a child, and by the time he was 20 years old, he was already very knowledgeable and was praised as a "good gift for learning" by his contemporaries.
At the age of fifty-one, he became the commander-in-chief of Lu. He only worked for a year, and everyone around him followed suit. Because of his outstanding achievements, many disciples and high reputation, he soon became a small underling under Lu. Later, he became a big scout. He also has his own opinions on many issues of governing the country. In the general plan of governing the country, he advocates "taking politics as morality" and governing the country with ethics is the noblest way to govern the country.
? At the age of sixty-two, Confucius once described himself as follows: "You forget to eat when you work, but forget to worry when you are happy. I don't know that my old age is coming. " At that time, Confucius had led his disciples around the world for nine years and had gone through all the hardships. Not only did he not get the appointment of the vassal, but he almost died. He was a "lost dog". But Confucius was not discouraged, but remained optimistic and stuck to his ideals, even knowing that he could not do it.
? Confucius said, "Being unjust and rich is like a cloud to me." In Confucius' mind, righteousness is the highest value of life. When there is a contradiction between rich and poor and morality, he would rather be poor than give up morality. However, it does not mean that he does not seek wealth, which does not conform to the true image of Confucius. He also knows about material comforts. He said, "You can never get tired of eating delicious food." He also likes delicious food.
? Confucius said, "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." This sentence is about personal lifestyle. He made us understand that when dealing with people, we should learn to put ourselves in the other person's shoes and think from the other person's standpoint, so as to create a harmonious interpersonal relationship. I was not like this before, but I only cared about my own happiness and never cared about the feelings of others. After learning this from Confucius, I corrected this shortcoming and learned to be considerate of others. The Analects of Confucius is really a good teacher!
? Confucius was famous for his eagerness to learn and showed great interest in all kinds of knowledge. Therefore, Confucius is still a versatile person. At that time, he was almost regarded as an omniscient saint. He can ride and shoot, play melody, play the piano and drive. But he is also very modest. Confucius said, "I can't be holy, I never tire of learning, and I never tire of teaching." Confucius believes that everyone can learn and become his teacher. "In a threesome, there must be a teacher." .
? The dust of history swept away your body, but it precipitated your immortal Confucianism. You don't suffer, and you don't suffer. You are a true wise man and a brave man, and you are an indelible model for scholars. As Sima Qian said: "When the mountain arrives, the scenery stops. Although I can't arrive, my heart yearns for it. "
