Confucius put forward the theory of "benevolence", the core idea of which is "love". In Confucius' view, if you want to "love others", you should "do to others what you don't want others to do to you".

Confucius initiated the private lecture style and advocated benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith. According to legend, Confucius once asked Lao Zi for courtesy, and there were 3, disciples, including 72 sages. He led some disciples around the world for thirteen years, and revised the six classics of Poetry, Book, Rite, Music, Book of Changes and Spring and Autumn Annals in his later years.

after the death of Confucius, his disciples and their descendants recorded the words, deeds, quotations and thoughts of Confucius and his disciples and compiled them into the Confucian classic The Analects.

in ancient times, Confucius was revered as "the saint of heaven" and "the muduo of heaven", and he was one of the most knowledgeable scholars in the society at that time. He was revered by later rulers as Confucius' sage, the most holy, the most holy teacher, the great sage, the most holy teacher, Wang's mentor and a teacher for generations. His thoughts have a far-reaching influence on China and the world, and his people are listed as the first of the "Top Ten Cultural Celebrities in the World".

Extended information:

Confucius, a famous thinker, politician and educator in ancient China, lived here and there all his life. Nevertheless, he still enjoys the age of 73. Looking at his thoughts, words and deeds, there are also some brilliant and unique health care concepts shining.

Benevolence: Benevolence, as the core of Confucius' thought, is also fully reflected in his view of health preservation.

"Benevolent people don't worry" and "great virtue leads to a long life" have undoubtedly become the program of their health preservation. "an upright man is open and poised", caring people always pay attention to the continuous improvement of self-cultivation and self-improvement of personality. Being open-minded and sincere with others, being aboveboard and heroic will naturally be beneficial to body and mind, health and longevity.

On the contrary, the "little people often feel sorry for each other", and the shameless people, who are preoccupied with how to take advantage of the trend and exploit opportunities all day, are narrow-minded, indecisive, intrigued and exhausted, so they can only stop their health and have no chance to live long.

eight no? In terms of diet, Confucius summed up the principle of "eight don't eat" in his later years, that is, "the fish is hungry and the meat is defeated, so he doesn't eat; Color is evil, do not eat; Smelly, not eating; Lose food, don't eat; From time to time, do not eat; Do not cut properly, do not eat; No sauce, no food; Selling wine in the market, not eating. " It can be further summarized into two aspects in modern language:

in terms of color and taste, people who change color and taste should not eat it; In terms of production, those who do not cook properly or use inappropriate seasoning do not eat. Sickness comes from the mouth. In ancient times, Confucius was so particular about eating. So, in today's society, we should naturally have enough reasons to pay special attention to and attach great importance to the safety of our table.

three precepts: "a gentleman has three precepts: when he is young, his blood gas is uncertain, so he should be careful; It is also strong, bloody, and it is in the fight; It is also old, and the blood gas is declining, so it is necessary to quit. " In the present words, when you are young, your blood gas is uncertain, so it is forbidden to be infatuated with women; In the prime of life, blood is flourishing, and it is strictly forbidden to be aggressive; When you are old, your blood is weak, so it is forbidden to be greedy.

It is not difficult to see that the original intention of Confucius's words is to make people adjust their mentality at different ages, weigh the advantages and disadvantages and choose the middle way, and at the same time, to prevent extremes from going to extremes. Having a rare normal heart is the source of health and the foundation of longevity.

Jiu Si: that is, "seeing clearly, listening attentively, caring warmly, looking respectfully, speaking loyally, thinking respectfully, questioning, thinking resentfully, and seeing as if it were right".

respectively, see if you understand, listen if you hear clearly, look if you are gentle, look if you are respectful, talk if you are honest, be cautious when you are in trouble, ask for teaching if you are angry, think if you get something, and think if you deserve it.

It can be seen that Confucius put forward detailed and specific norms and requirements from the aspects of audio-visual appearance, words and deeds in daily life, and deeper thinking and social work. Only by doing this completely can we achieve a high degree of harmony and unity in mind and body. "Gentle and gentle, then a gentleman" eventually became the ideal person in Confucius' mind who could truly "live forever". ?
