Good words in The Analects of Confucius

1. Disciples are filial when they enter, and filial when they leave (ti, respect brother). They are sincere and believe that they love the masses and are kind to others. Learn literature if you have spare time.

This: Disciple ... obviously talks to children the most. This article teaches everyone to be cautious in words and deeds, and must not have pioneering spirit.

2, the husband is benevolent, want to stand and stand, want to reach and people.

It is not advisable to teach everyone to be an official and raise their prestige. The correct way is to raise your cronies (in essence, raise yourself).

Don't do to others what you don't want them to do to you. No complaints in the state, no complaints at home.

The first half of this sentence is truth, but the second half is to teach the ruled to be patient.

4, rigid, easy, wood (simple), nerd (nerd, cautious), near benevolence.

This article teaches everyone to be a good citizen.

5. If a worker wants to do a good job, he must sharpen his tools first.

That makes sense.

6, do your part, not be a teacher.

This also makes sense. Unfortunately, Confucius himself later denied it.

7, courtesy without humiliation, forgiveness and popularity, trust and responsibility, sensitivity and merit, benefit and enough to make people.

8. Zeng Zi said: "My three provinces (Xing): Am I unfaithful to others? Don't believe in making friends? I don't like it. "

This article tells us that reflection and self-criticism are reasonable.

9. People who don't trust don't know if they can (get a foothold in society).

This article tells everyone that it is credible and reasonable, but it is not popular. It's better to tell a story of "wolf coming"

10, see xian Si Qi Yan, see xian Si Qi introspection.

This is very interesting. On the surface, it tells everyone the truth of progress, but in essence, it has a bad tendency of "we must look at others and compare with others".

1 1, making an appointment (at any time) rarely makes mistakes.

This article also makes sense, telling everyone that "remember what to do is wrong", but it is also a big direction error. Confucianism has always been like this, telling everyone what not to do, but never saying what to do.

12. Know silently and never tire of learning and never tire of teaching.

That makes sense.

13, I don't cultivate myself, I don't talk about learning (pressure), I won't migrate (xi, migration obedience), and I can't change my incompetence. This is my worry.

This makes sense. Confucius criticized "learning is useless"

14, viscount: Wu Yi (guess), Wu Bi (absolutely sure), Gu Wu, Wu Ming.

This article is even more unique. Every sentence makes sense, but it is contradictory. Imagine, according to this article, there is no right idea (that is, nothing). In other words, you just listen to your superiors and don't think about anything yourself.

15, cold, and then know the pine and cypress withering.

Philosophy, so profound.

16, keep your word, and do what you want (Du is single-minded), although it means traveling far (Mo).

17, bow down to yourself (be strict with yourself) and lightly blame others, then it is far from resentment.

This is the truth of being a man, but the previous truth is right. The ultimate goal is too ordinary and boring, just to avoid being scolded.

18, if you don't change it, it will be too much.

This article is correct. If you know your mistake, you can change it.

19, parents are here, don't travel far, be sure to travel well.

This article is about filial piety, but it goes too far. Fortunately, people in Confucius' time lived short and died early. If they live as long as they do now, their children will not do great things. )

20, don't suffer from (suffering from) people who don't understand (understand), and don't understand people.

There is some truth in this article, but it still says, "You must look at others and compare with others". What other people think is that important?

2 1, in the interest (self-interest), complain more.

This makes sense. Tell everyone not to be too greedy.

22, do not suffer from nowhere, suffer from it; Don't worry about knowing yourself, but seek to know yourself.

This makes sense. Tell everyone not to stop trying to make progress just because you are incapable now.

23. Listen more, choose the good and follow it, see more and know it, and know it twice (second only to "born").

This article tells everyone that one way to learn is "erudition"

24, directly report complaints, good for evil.

This makes sense. It is better to be open-minded.

25, people have no long-term worries, there must be near worries.

This is all nonsense, just like the fortune teller said, there is always the right end when both ends are blocked.

If you don't say what you did, don't say it. Let bygones be bygones.

27. A gentleman speaks slowly, but acts quickly.

This makes sense. It is right to talk less and do more.

28. Can you talk or not, and lose (read) people; Don't talk to it in words, it's rude. Those who know, don't lose people, don't lose words.

These words are "reasonable", but how many people can "know" afterwards?

29, rhetoric is chaotic, and it is chaotic if you can't bear it.

This applies to some people, that is, people with "great virtue" and "big ideas" are ordinary people. It doesn't matter if there is no great idea.

30. Listen to the road painting (road) and say that Germany abandoned it.

This makes sense. You can't talk nonsense without practical foundation.

3 1, all evils must be observed; If everyone is good, he will abide by it.

32, learn from time to time, don't say (yue)? Is it not delightful to have friends coming from distant quarters? People don't know (understand) and don't care (cloud, resentment), do they?

Gentleman?

This makes sense.

33. (Gentleman) Sensitive and cautious.

It's really wordy. This article is the same as article 27.

34. Quality is better than literature, and literature is better than history. Gentle, then a gentleman.

This seems reasonable, but can we ask everyone to be a so-called "gentleman"? I don't think it's as comfortable as The Wilderness and History.

35-year-old, open-minded, a petty man is anxious and worried.. (sad).

This article is about me, a villain. I have no gentleman's mind. I am petty and worry every day, so I go to the side to play chess. It's hard to be a gentleman.

36. A gentleman's adult beauty is not an adult's evil.

This makes sense. If you want others to do good, you must find out whether what they do is really good.

37. A gentleman can't think about his position.

This is too much, just ask the behavior to follow the rules. If you think about other people, it's really a world of difference.

38. The benevolent is not worried, the knower is not confused, and the brave is not afraid.

This makes sense. You should have great benevolence, wisdom and courage.

39. a gentleman regrets (Jin Shen) without arguing, and he is not a party.

This article tells readers to endure if they are not satisfied, and not to gather people to revolt.

40. A gentleman doesn't attract people by words, and he doesn't waste words by people (misconduct).

This makes sense. Well said, you may not be able to do it. What people who make mistakes say is not necessarily wrong.

4 1, a gentleman has Jiu Si, who listens with wisdom, warms up with thought, respects with hope, keeps loyal to his words, respects with thought, asks with doubt, and thinks hard (future trouble), which can be seen.

.

This tongue twister

42, not in its place, not for its politics.

This article tells everyone that it's none of your business, and you can't interfere in other people's "internal affairs"

43. Be tireless in your post and be loyal to your post.

This article tells everyone to be diligent and obedient.

44. Politicians, yes. The son is handsome and tall, who dares to be wrong?

This makes sense. Officials should set an example.

45, its body is right, can not be ordered; His body is not straight, although he disobeys.

Ditto.

46. The name is not right; If you say it wrong, you can't do it.

This is still an old problem. Don't tell everyone how to do it, just tell everyone how to do it right. And the fact is wrong, "justified" isn't it?

Things will be done? On the other hand, there are also examples of improper things. Fame is the external cause, and the ability to do things is the only one.

It is an internal cause, so this article is considered to be putting the cart before the horse.

47. The name of a gentleman should be reasonable and feasible. A gentleman's words are nothing but sloppy.

Like the last article, this article is based on "name" and emphasizes that form comes from content.

48. Don't worry, don't see small profits. Haste makes waste, and seeing small profits can't achieve great things.

This is a very good truth. But we can't do it mechanically. When things happen, there are many reasons to consider. We shouldn't wait for the "time is right" to make a quick decision.

It is also a good choice to get some small profits first without losing the overall situation.

49. People who do nothing are also embarrassed (Yu)? Therefore, Wang hates asking for help and is afraid of being virtuous. Shun served as a virtuous man, hung down his skirt, respected himself and ruled the world.

-"new order. Miscellaneous work III).

50. Be lenient with others and win the hearts of the people. If you believe, you will be responsible to the people. If you are sensitive, you will be active. The public is saying (Yue).

There is some truth in this article, which is the ruler's way of governing the country.

5 1, review the past and learn the new, you can be a teacher.

That makes sense.

52. Learning without thinking is useless, and thinking without learning is dangerous.

This is a rare truth, which we should learn and think about.

53, sensitive and eager to learn, not ashamed to ask questions.

This is the truth of learning.

54. In a threesome, there must be a teacher. Choose the good and follow it, change the bad.

This makes sense.

55, don't be swayed by considerations of gain and loss, others don't know, you can't do it yourself.

This makes sense.

56. It's no use thinking about it without eating all day and sleeping all night. It's better to study.

This makes sense, but it would be better to add "learning is better than doing".

57. If you don't get angry, you won't get angry, you won't get angry, you won't get angry, you won't get angry. (Zhu: angry people can't get it if they make sense; If you are anxious, speak your mind.

But I didn't read it. )

58. Confucius said, "There are no classes in teaching".

This makes sense. Everyone has the right to education. How many farmers are there among Confucius' students?

59, life and death, wealth in the sky. A gentleman is respectful and courteous to others. All men are brothers within the four seas.

This article is obviously absurd. The first sentence "life and death have life" is to make the poor feel that they should be poor, and the first sentence is to say "nothing for nothing".

The third sentence of human philosophy is not bad.

60. Confucius said: "Nine times out of ten, I am determined to learn, stand at 30, not confused at 40, know my destiny at 50, listen to my ears at 60, and do what I want at 70, but not do it."

Overtime. "

This article has an excellent explanation: "I/kloc-decided to run a school at the age of 0/5 (because I earn a lot of money). Those who pay 32 tuition fees can only stand and attend classes, and those who pay 42 can only attend classes."

You can ask the teacher questions until there are no more questions. For this reason, you can know the topic of tomorrow's exam by paying 520 yuan, and you can also ask the teacher to tell you what you like to listen to.

At the age of 72, you can graduate with or without learning.

6 1, knowing means knowing, not knowing means not knowing, just knowing.

This article makes sense, and it is about seeking truth from facts.

62. Ji Wenzi thought twice before acting. Wen Zi said, "What's the point?"

This makes sense. There is no need to think too much all the time. Think twice before you act, and think about the rest while doing it.

63. Knowing is not as good as being good, and being good is not as good as being happy.

This makes sense. Interest is the best teacher.

64. I didn't know it from birth. It's so old that I'm eager to seek it.

This article makes sense, but it is wrong to know why (unfortunately, Confucius advocates "being born is expensive")

65. The son said on the river: "The deceased is like a husband (like running water), and he will not give up day and night."

This philosophy

66. Confucius said, "If it is a mountain, it will not be Wei Xiao, but I will stop. For example, on the flat ground, although covered, I will go. "

This article is about perseverance.

67. The afterlife is awesome. How do you know that the new guy is not now? Forty or fifty people don't know anything, I'm not afraid.

This makes sense. The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves.

68, the three armed forces can win the handsome, ordinary people can't win the ambition.

This article says that one should have determination.

69, rich and expensive, is what people want, not according to its way, nowhere; Poverty and meanness are human evils. If you don't get them their way, you won't go.

This article says that "a gentleman loves money and takes it wisely"

70, words must be believed, and actions must be fruitful.

There is some truth in this article, but what you do lies in the process of action and struggle, not in the result. "Don't judge heroes by success or failure."

7 1, it is shameful to do anything. Do it in all directions and don't disgrace your life. (The typo "Ji" should be "Ji")

This article seems reasonable. In fact, "having a sense of shame" is reasonable, but having a goal of "your life" is too worthless.

72. Luz asked Shi Jun, and Yuzi said, "Don't bully, but make it."

73. Gentlemen are harmonious but different, while villains are not harmonious.

There is some truth in this article, but it cannot be ruled out that there is a way to steal it. Liangshan is a good example.

74. I forget to eat when I am angry, and I forget my worries when I am happy. I don't know if I'm old enough.

75. Yan Yuan sighed: "The higher the sun, the stronger the drill." . Looking ahead, suddenly what happened behind, the master followed the good and attractive ones and learned from me.

With the text, tell me to be polite, I can't stop. "

76, don't blame others, don't treat people, go to school (learn knowledge) and reach (explore morality), know me.

This article talks about a very good quality-"go your own way", but Confucius said this sentence in space, and his thoughts are based on other people's thoughts and behaviors.

According to, so it is impossible to "go to school".

77. Too much is too late.

78. "Steven Zhu Xing"-"Seeking (Ran Qiu) also retreats, so enter it; By (by) and both, so retreat. "

79. You will be safe when you come.

This makes sense.

80. There is nothing wrong.

This nonsense says "nothing is impossible"

8 1, Zeng Zi said: "Be cautious in the end (parents' bereavement), pursue the distance (remembering the ancestors), and people's morality will return to thick. "

This article tells us that we should pay attention to the things of our ancestors, but the purpose of Confucius is to make the people loyal to the monarch and forge ahead and live forever.

Let's go

82. Ceng Zi said: "Birds are dying, and their songs are also sad; People are dying, and their words are good. "

This makes sense.

Ceng Zi said: "A scholar must be generous (broad-minded) and resolute. He still has a long way to go. Isn't it important to think that benevolence is your responsibility? Not far from death. "

This article says that "benevolence" is a great cause.

84. Xia Zi said: "Be knowledgeable and determined, ask and think, and benevolence is among them."

The principle of "applying what you have learned" is very good, but in the end it is aimed at the unlucky "benevolence".

85. Zi Gong said: "A gentleman thinks (shows) that he knows, but actually thinks that he doesn't know. You must not be careless. "

This article is Confucius' disciple's praise to Confucius.

Zhang Zishuo: "When a man sees danger and death, he sees what he thinks."

This makes sense.

87. A gentleman respects the virtuous and tolerates the masses. Jiashan is sorry (unfortunately).

This article is about "be lenient with others"

88. Xia Zi said: "Virtue does not exceed leisure (boundary), and virtue can enter and leave."

This article is "informal" and makes sense.

89. Sages know big things, but they don't know small things without affectation.

This makes sense. We shouldn't pay too much attention to small things and ignore big things.

90. Zi Gong said: "A gentleman is mistaken as the food of the sun and the moon. Too many, everyone has seen it; What's more, everyone is very admired. "

This article is about a gentleman correcting his mistakes, but it is too extreme to say that "everyone saw it".

9 1, Xia Zi said: "God knows what he died (no), and Yue never forgot what he could do. It can be said that he is eager to learn. "

This article says that learning should be persistent and accumulated step by step.

92. Although there are trails, there must be considerable people.

This half sentence makes sense, but it doesn't write the second half sentence, "It's a gentleman's fault to be afraid of mud." The second half of the sentence says that these small skills of farmers and workers can't be a big deal.

A gentleman does not do it. This whole sentence shows that Confucius still despises laborers ideologically. It's no big deal that Confucius looks down on us.

No, the important thing is not to listen to Confucius' bullshit and look down on yourself.

93. Ceng Zi said: "Ask if you can, ask if you can't, ask if you ask more, and ask if you can't. If there is nothing, it is really Xu Ruo. If you make a mistake, you won't go to school. My friend tried it before.

"

94. A gentleman's business is born with it. (Wanderer)

This article is to advise everyone to do something "Tao-oriented". If everyone does his duty, then the ruler will be "born of Tao".

95. Don't be poor and suffer from inequality, and don't be poor and suffer from anxiety.

This article was originally reasonable, telling the rulers to achieve common prosperity in order to achieve stability, but Confucius limited the scope of average distribution to "literati"

Within the aristocratic class ... this is the "fine tradition" of our country.

96. I don't want others to impose it on me, and I want to impose it on others. (Zigong)

This article has the same meaning as "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you", which makes sense.

97. "If you don't learn poetry, you have nothing to say" and "If you don't learn etiquette, you can do anything".

I don't agree with this. I think: don't learn poetry, speak with your mouth, don't learn manners, and stand on your legs. We don't need to do everything according to the fixed old routine, "Let's go.

Your own way, let others say it! "

98. It is difficult (impossible) to eat all day long without intention.

This sentence is half sentence, which means nothing.

99. Sex is similar, but learning is far away.

This makes sense. It is said that people are born with similar personalities, but Confucius affirmed the aristocratic inheritance theory of "born with expensive", which is really contradictory.

conflict

100, Confucius said, "Words are beyond words."

This makes sense, as long as people can understand what they say, but it is contradictory to what he said: "There is nothing to say without learning poetry".

10 1, believe in learning and be good at death.

This makes sense. Learning is your own business, so you must stick to it.

102, since ancient times, people have died, and people have no faith.

This article, I want to ask, are you a common people, even so cruel words take it as a classic? The meaning of this sentence is like this.

Zi Gong asked about politics. Confucius said, "Food and soldiers are sufficient, and the people believe in it." Zi Gong said, "I have to go, which comes first?" He said, "Go and be a soldier."

Zi Gong said, "If you have to leave, which one will come first?" Say, "Go and eat. There has been death since ancient times, and the people have no faith. "

Zi Gong asked Confucius: "If conditions are insufficient, a country can only satisfy three things: food, army and trust in its rulers."

Two of them, so which one should be removed temporarily? Confucius said, "Don't eat yet. When it comes to death, people always die, but they have no authority over the rulers.

The country does not exist ... "

Alas, the people are hungry and nobody cares, and the absolute rule of the country still needs to be maintained. What logic is this? Are all the people starving to death, leaving only?

Can the country develop by a few fat aristocrats? Is this "benevolence" advocated by Confucius?

103, the knower enjoys water, and the benevolent enjoys Leshan. Those who know move, those who are good are quiet. People who know are happy, and people who are kind live long.

The article says: Wise people like water, while benevolent people like mountains. ...

104, people with lofty ideals are benevolent, and there is no harm to benevolence, and death is benevolence.

This article says: People with lofty ideals value "benevolence" over life.

105 There is a saying by Confucius: "The purpose of ceremony is to make peace. Wang Zhidao comes first, and Sri Lanka is beautiful. Small and big (convenient). If you can't do it, you will know and make peace;

It is not feasible to do it impolitely. "

This article is also ridiculous. The natural harmony of the ancient sages in governing the country is the right way, which is the inner nature, while Confucius asked for external "rituals" to celebrate festivals.

It is impossible to control and guide harmony. This article embodies Confucius' formalistic thought of attaching importance to the outside rather than the inside, and attaching importance to form rather than essence. Of course, this is also what our country has done.

"Fine tradition".

106, a Confucius said: "Believe in the near meaning, and the words can be repeated (glory); Ceremony is close to ceremony and far from shame. "

There is some truth in this article, but Confucius' external "righteousness" and "ceremony" are the ultimate goals, which is really …

107, politeness and rudeness are tiring, caution and rudeness are embarrassing (xi), courage and rudeness are chaotic, and integrity and rudeness are distorted (sharp).

This article talks about the importance of "ceremony", but if it is respectful rather than guided by ceremony, it will get twice the result with half the effort; Just being cautious and not guided by etiquette will make you cringe and stiff.

; If you are brave and not guided by politeness, you will be disorganized; Just being straightforward and not being guided by politeness will lead to sharp words.

In fact, Confucius' theory just digs its own grave. On the other hand, if we are not polite, the consequences will be to work harder, shrink back, be sharp and so on.

It's just a small problem, but if we only emphasize "courtesy" unilaterally and ignore the basic internal qualities of "courtesy", "prudence" and "straightness", then

It's not just these little problems.

108, self-denial is benevolence.

This article clearly clarifies what Confucius called "benevolence". Abiding by the requirements of "courtesy" is "benevolence" Just now I said that "courtesy" is external and internal after all.

Ugly people can also master manners.

For example, Japan, Japan, Japan, Japan, Japan, Japan, Japan, Japan, Japan, Japan, Japan, Japan, Japan, Japan, Japan, Japan, Japan, Japan.

It's neat, but no matter how clean it is, it's a bloody butcher knife.

109 zi gong said, "poor but not flattering, rich but not arrogant?" Confucius said, "Yes, if you are not poor, you will be happy. It is good to give gifts if you have money. "

In this article, Confucius said that "poverty is not flattering, wealth is not arrogant", but Confucius corrected: "It is better to be poor and be happy with Tao, but rich and good."

A polite person. "Explain two points. First, Confucius looked down on the working people, thinking that workers were born in humble origins and should accept their poverty.

Be realistic and be happy. Secondly, Confucius believes that the first task of the rich is to learn "etiquette", not to help the poor get rid of poverty.

1 10, see no evil, don't listen to evil, don't say evil, don't move.

Forget it, this article is talking about "ceremony" again.

1 1 1, Confucius said: "The doctrine of the mean is also a virtue, and it is extremely embarrassing! The people are fresh for a long time. "

This article: Confucius believes that "the golden mean is the highest morality", and I think that "the golden mean is nonsense"

1 12, those who have virtue must have words, and those who have words need not have virtue. The benevolent must be brave, and the brave need not be benevolent.

This seems to be another half sentence.

1 13, as you can see, if you give your life in danger, you can't forget what you said for a long time in your life, and you can also become an adult (a person with perfect personality).

Article 86 of this article stipulates that

1 14, and Li, Wei but not fierce, respectful and safe.

1 15, gentleman, respect its business, and then eat (eat Lu).

This makes sense. You should think about how to do things first, and then think about what you can get. But unfortunately, Confucius only applied this principle to "serving the monarch".

1 16, it is called mania if you don't say it; Words without words are hidden; If you don't see color, you are blind.

This is the etiquette of speaking, which makes sense. But Confucius only knew the etiquette and didn't mention the content of the speech. No matter how polite you are, you can't tell the truth.

International content, that's the taboo of speaking.

1 17, when (in time) and then say, people take pains to say; Laugh and laugh again, and people never tire of laughing; People never tire of taking what is righteous and then taking it.

There is some truth in this article, but "you must decide your behavior by making others like E" is still a ridiculous truth.

1 18, use it when you use it, and hide it when you keep it (not used).

This one is reasonable and flexible.

1 19, ambitious people, honest and frank integrity, observe his words and deeds, consider the following people (not as good as others).

This article is Confucius' education for students: only by learning to read words and observe colors, try to figure out people's hearts and compliment others can we achieve understanding. Please note that "quality is straight" here.

It is not straightforward and upright, but what Confucius called "straightforward" is fair and reasonable.

120, three friends benefited and three friends were damaged. Friends are straightforward, friends trust (loyalty), and friends are knowledgeable and beneficial; Friends are flattering, friendly and soft, friends.

This is embarrassing (rather boastful) and destructive.

This is the truth of making friends.

12 1, don't go against (guess) fraud (engage in fraud), never believe (guess) 100 million, and suppress those who perceive others first (perceive others first). This is virtuous.

This article is about learning to know people. This is of course a good truth, knowing people and being good at their duties, but Confucius over-advocated the role of "knowing people".

122, if a gentleman is not heavy, he will be unable to learn. The Lord (values) loyalty, and people without friends are not as good as themselves. If they pass, don't be afraid to change.

That makes sense.

123, Zi Gong asked the gentleman, and Confucius said, "Speak first, then follow (summarize)".

This makes sense. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

124, a gentleman is knowledgeable in literature and can be a gift or a husband.

This article is about Confucius' pursuit: learning to be polite and not deviate from the original meaning.

125, introspection is innocent, what is the husband worried about?

This makes sense. A clear conscience is fearless.

126, Ceng Zi said: "A gentleman takes literature as his friend and benevolence as his help."

This makes sense.

127, it is easier for a gentleman to serve than to say (please). Pleasure does not get in the way and is unpleasant; It also allows people, this device. Villains are easy to be happy when they are in trouble.

Although it doesn't matter, it is also pleasing to the eye. It also makes people want to be prepared.

This makes sense. It is usually difficult for a gentleman to wait on him. Working for him doesn't necessarily mean you are good.

128, the meaning of a gentleman is quality (foundation), courtesy is made, inferiority is shown, and faith is made.

This article is about the standard of a gentleman (it's really troublesome, so I won't be a gentleman)

129, a gentleman's loyalty (sticking to the right path) is unforgivable (stubborn).

This makes sense. Let's not be too stubborn.

130, a gentleman has three precepts: when he is young, his blood gas is uncertain, and his color is empty; It is also strong and bloody, and it is fighting; He is too old, and his blood color is fading, so quit.

It is gaining (greed).

This makes sense. We should stay away from desire, anger and greed.

13 1, ruling the country by virtue, like the stars, occupies their place and the stars arch it.

This makes sense. First of all, you should have your own moral values.

132, if you listen too much, you will be suspicious, and the rest will be less cautious (wrong); See more doubts, the rest are cautious and regret.

This article is reasonable. You should listen more and see more, and then choose the one that is sure.

133, people who were born to know, go up; Those who learn and know, second; Learn from difficulties, secondly; It is better for the people if they are stuck and don't learn.

This is a joke of Confucius, because he has repeatedly pointed out that "born with knowledge" is wrong, but in front of nobles, he said that "born with knowledge is also superior."

",what a mean person.

134, Confucius said: "Words without deeds, faith is ancient, stealing is not as good as my old Peng."

This article also talks about Confucius' conservative thoughts, which only dare to say but dare not do, only stop at the achievements of the ancients and dare not innovate.

135, it is hard for him to say that he is not ashamed (left ashamed).

This makes sense. The more sure a boaster is, the more outrageous his words are.

136, a gentleman cares about Tao but not poverty.

This one ... so Confucius is a rich man and doesn't know that the poor have a hard time.
