9. 1 Yan Li, Zi Han, with life and benevolence.

9. 1 Yan Li, Zi Han, with life and benevolence.

This sentence is a bit troublesome because there are two different interpretations.

1, "Zi Han speaks favorably and has a life and a heart." Confucius seldom talked about profit, life and benevolence.

The master usually teaches others, although he can say anything, but there are three things he seldom talks about, namely, benefit, life and benevolence. If people want what they want, scholars will lose the way of shame, while those who govern the country will lose the way of shame. Therefore, Confucius does not talk about benefits with others.

Life is the popularity of bad luck, the fate of life and death, and so on. "The difficulty is far away", so I can't tell what my life is like, so Confucius doesn't tell fortune.

Benevolence is the virtue of the mind and the sum of all the beautiful things in the world. The reason is too great to explain clearly to others.

"Zi Han talked about interests, life and kindness."

Confucius seldom talked about profit, but only agreed with life and benevolence.

Confucius doesn't talk about interests, just wants you to accept your fate. A gentleman can do whatever he wants, only by the right and wrong of righteousness. In the words of Wang Yangming, my heart is bright and my heart is strong. Pursuing success can also accept failure.

Good Morning, everyone! Give a speech at night and realize your dream! Writing and speaking, seven times faster growth! The more you give, the more you get.

Today, we are going to learn a new article, which is Zi Han's ninth article. Before that, let's review what we learned yesterday.

Confucius said, "I am not alone." Philippine diet, but filial piety; Rotten clothes make you beautiful; Humble palace, but live in the ditch as much as possible. Hey, I'm fine. "

I'm talking about Confucius' exclamation of Dayu, a saint, saying that I admire him too much to find his fault. Why?

Because he is careless in his diet, his diet is very thin, but he is very rich when he sacrifices; He dressed himself up very simply, but he was very formal when he sacrificed, wearing a dress and hat; His life is very simple, and most of his energy is spent on building water conservancy and benefiting the people.

His spirit of serving the public wholeheartedly and not seeking personal gain greatly touched me. I really can't find out what's wrong with him. It fully expressed Confucius' respect and worship for Dayu and showed us his noble character.

Today we learn a new chapter.

Zi Han's words are profitable, while life and benevolence.

This sentence has quite a lot of ambiguity. Where are the keys? Break sentences! Simply put, there are two explanations.

The first is that Confucius seldom talks about "benefit", "fate" and "benevolence". Confucius seldom talked about these three key words. You are like Zhu, Zhang, Liu Baonan and Nan, and I respect them more. They all think so.

There is another point of view, which is Qian Mu's point of view. Mr. Qian Mulao was also a great scholar of Confucius, and Fan Deng generally took him as a blueprint. Here, Confucius seldom says "benefit", but he agrees with (this "harmony" means approval) "fate" and "benevolence"

Regarding this statement, Huashan rarely agrees with Qian Mu, but disagrees with Zhu, Zhang and Liu Baonan. In fact, even if everyone agrees with the first statement, they rarely talk about benefit, life and benevolence, and their explanations are different. How to understand it?

I'll list all these views and let everyone choose for themselves. You choose what is most valuable to you, which is called "choosing goodness and following it". Because these words are so rich in connotation, it really makes sense for you to explain them like this, without saying that they must be wrong and right.

All right, let's talk slowly.

The first one is "rarely talking about profit", which is recognized by everyone. He seldom talks about profits. Then what is "profit"? Get to know it first.

Zhang Zhu said: Although Confucius teaches people at ordinary times, he seldom talks about three things, namely, benefit, life and benevolence. The profit is what people want, and the scholar pursues the profit, then it is shameful to lose the way, and the governor pursues the profit, then the disaster of competition begins. Therefore, Confucius did not speak profitably. Profit here should refer to material things, or wealth.

If, as a scholar, you devote yourself to material things, you probably have no sense of shame. In order to get these things, you have lost your integrity.

A ruler is when you sit in an official position. If you seek profit, it is easy to win, and the influence is extremely bad. So Confucius didn't talk about profit with others.

Mr. Nan Huai Jin explained that "profit" here not only refers to money, but also means "profit" here. When it comes to stakes, the problem is bigger. Studying history carefully and studying the present, almost no one does not think about interests at any time and place, especially during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people's exchanges, the intersection of countries, and the concept of interests at any time and place.

We know that Han Feizi, a legalist in China, and Xunzi, a teacher of Han Feizi, are another branch of Confucianism, and Xunzi and Mencius have their own opinions. Especially Han Feizi, there is an article called "Difficulty", which is about the difficulty of speaking.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was no imperial examination, and people had to lobby for fame and fortune and official position.

The so-called lobbyist is not just talking. They must be knowledgeable and have rich modern knowledge at the same time. They can go to see the * * * of various countries and put forward their own special opinions, pointing out the interests at that time. The so-called "moving interests to win the trust of owners" can win reputation and status.

Therefore, we must first understand the meaning of the word "profit" in this sentence and tell people that they are interested and no one is indifferent. Life can be indifferent to all this fame and fortune, which is really the highest learning. From this perspective, it is impossible for Confucius to talk about interests. The key is to talk less, that is, talk less.

Generally speaking, it is said that a gentleman is righteous and a villain is beneficial. I don't particularly agree with everyone's concern and focus on profits.

Let's talk about life.

Zhang said: Fate is popularity, fate of life and death and so on. Life can't be lived, so Confucius doesn't tell fortune! How is your life? Don't listen to it, just let it go. As the saying goes, do your best and leave it to fate.

Man proposes, God disposes. Life is alive, wealth is in the sky, just work hard, always complaining about my life, saying that my life is not good, meaningless, and not talking.

In other words, Zhang believes that Confucius' statement that life is alive is something we can't decide, and it is meaningless to talk about it.

According to Mr. Nan, life here is not just a fortune teller's fortune telling, but a broad sense, including the meaning of the source of life.

All religions in the world are talking about the origin of life, especially that life was created by God. Almost every religion has a similar statement, but from religion to philosophy and science, until now, what is the source of life is still unclear.

From this point, we can see that, whether in the East or the West, human culture is still naive and ridiculous, and human problems have not been explained and solved.

Religious people can't solve it, but it turns into philosophy, and philosophers can't solve it, and it turns into science. Scientists pursue it in different categories, such as space, physics and medical research, trying to find the answer to this question.

However, people in China do not investigate the source of life. This question, especially Confucius' thought, will be mentioned below: "If you don't know life, how can you know death?" Don't ask. So Confucius seldom talked about life.

Even a later philosopher, it is hard for him to say clearly what life is. Usually, when you are doing it, you will lose your life. For example, there was a great German philosopher named Nietzsche. Everyone knows that he is a philosopher, and in the end he went crazy.

In addition, the third is benevolence.

Zhang believes that benevolence is the virtue of the heart and the sum of all the goodness in the world. The truth is too great, it's a long story, and it's hard to explain it clearly to people, so Confucius only talks about specific things and facts, and doesn't tell people so much truth, for fear that he can't keep up.

Confucius himself dared not pretend to be benevolent. There is a saying in the previous Book Two: "If I am a saint and kind, how dare I?" If you take pains to suppress and teach people, you can say that the cloud is gone. Even Confucius is not easy to judge people by their benevolence, and he has never commented on the "benevolence" of a living person.

Mr nan huaijin explained that Confucius seldom talked about benevolence, which was a big problem. We often talk about China culture, Confucius and the core of Confucius' thought-benevolence. Now, according to The Analects, at least its contents were directly recorded by Confucius students, which can't be denied.

Confucius seldom talks about benevolence here. As we all know, the central idea of Confucius and Confucianism is benevolence, but here he says that Confucius seldom talks about benevolence.

The fourth article of the Analects of Confucius, Establishing Man, is all about benevolence. Isn't this a contradiction? Therefore, when we talk about cultivating people, there is a key point, which is about the role of benevolence, the essence of benevolence, and what is benevolence itself? There is no definition in Liren. In other words, Confucius did not give a clear definition of benevolence, what we saw was only a phenomenon.

Let's look at the second explanation. This is Mr. Qian Mu's explanation.

He said that Confucius seldom talked about profit, but he agreed to talk about life and benevolence. Here is a proof, that is, throughout the Analects of Confucius, there are six points about benefit, seven points about life and 59 points about benevolence. Even when talking about profits, it is basically derogatory, but talking about life is different.

He still agrees, for example: "The nature of Confucius' words and the nature of heaven are unknown. "This is what Zi Gong said, that is, life is too abstruse. He usually teaches students in accordance with their aptitude and doesn't tell others so much.

Talking about life is also the nature of destiny and Tao. It's just that these abstruse things are also in the Doctrine of the Mean, which was written by Zi Si, not by Confucius.

There are too many places that talk about benevolence, especially Liren, all of which talk about benevolence, so Confucius agrees.

Confucius didn't do anyone any good, just asked you to accept your fate and do whatever a gentleman wanted. He will only do it with great benevolence and righteousness, and with great right and wrong. In Wang Yangming's words, it will make my mind bright and my heart strong, and I will pursue success and accept failure.

We all like to hear stories that change our destiny. Can we accept it if it doesn't change? Want to change, can you change? Failure is unacceptable, and failure to admit it is the greatest danger for people. For example, people who go bankrupt in stock trading will not give up.

On the surface, not bowing to fate is often a sign of interest. This meeting will do whatever it takes. People don't like to bow their heads, but can they do it without bowing their heads? Therefore, we must have awe and bow our heads.

Those who can accept their fate are hard-working gentlemen, while those who don't accept their fate are often unscrupulous villains. Accepting fate is the premise of grasping it.

Kind of like what? That's what we usually say, first of all, we must accept ourselves and accept all the arrangements. If you accept it, you can settle down, you can do things in a down-to-earth way, you can develop in the future, and you can think.

Otherwise, we are always obsessed with the unfairness of fate and always complain, but you can't do it well!

Huashan Mountain is very rare. I agree with Mr. Qian Mu's interpretation this time.

There is still a little time. Let me talk about my thoughts.

As a saint, Confucius seldom talks about profit, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't value profit and doesn't care about material wealth at all. This is unrealistic. This just means that our focus should not only be on profit. If you are completely profit-seeking, you will lose your sense of mission Without the spirit of serving the public wholeheartedly, it is difficult for you to do great things.

Life depends on how you look at it. I can't be like Fan at the beginning of the four disciplines. Now that God has decided my fate, I will do nothing but wait. That won't do.

I can't just work hard Just don't bow your head and don't concentrate. It is also prone to problems.

Finally, when it comes to "benevolence", this benevolence is not something to talk about. I say benevolence is benevolence, but we should cultivate it with heart.

Cultivate yourself according to the standards of benevolence, constantly improve your self-cultivation and gradually reach the realm of benevolence.

Today is a difficult problem, so what do you think of these three words? Benefit, life, benevolence, when giving back, you may wish to talk about your own views. There is no right or wrong, only your understanding and grasp of it.

Time is up, and our interpretation of this chapter ends here today.

At 6: 30 tomorrow morning, we will continue to interpret the next chapter.

Daxiang party member said, "Great Confucius? Learn without name. "

The son listened and said to his younger brother, "What can I do? Hold on, okay? How about shooting? I am under control. "

This chapter seems simple, but in fact it contains profound meaning. What does that mean? We'll talk tomorrow.
