What fortune-telling stories does Confucius have?

Confucius can also tell fortune and fortune.

Confucius said: Look at what it is, what it is and what its security is for. How can it be embarrassing? What about people?

This is the reason why Confucius observed people.

Speaking of observers, we all know that fortune telling is very popular now. These two things have a history of thousands of years in China, that is, all countries in the world, such as the so-called Italian photo method, Japanese photo method and so on. This shows that any nation is very popular. China people have a long history of visiting fortune-teller. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many. Generally speaking, China people have their own set of fortune-telling methods, including linen, Liu Zhuang and Tieguan Road, which are popular in the market now, and even palm and palm prints developed by modern Italians and Japanese. A lot of new things have been added, and I can't escape the category of China's fortune telling. China people have another fortune-telling method, called "physiognomy" or "physiognomy", which is abstruse and difficult to understand. "God" is not based on "form" but on "expression"; There is also a kind of "mental phase", which is based on the basic position of China culture and is absolutely idealistic (non-Western idealistic philosophy). Therefore, there are a few famous sayings: "There is no phase in the heart, and the phase changes from the heart. If you have no intention, you will turn around. " When a person's mind changes, his form changes. For example, how do we know that a person is going to lose his temper? Because from the outside, he lost his temper and became nervous, and his appearance changed. Therefore, fortune telling is a science. Some people say that a narrow person in Tang Yin must have a small circumference, while a wide Tang Yin (the distance between the eyebrows) means a large circumference. What is the reason? Naturally, some people will be born with a frown when they encounter unpleasant things, and gradually Tang Yin's muscles will tighten. Others say that people who show their front teeth are often short-lived, because when they show their teeth, their mouths will not close properly when they sleep, and dirty things will enter the body when they breathe. Of course there will be health problems. There are many other reasons for this, all of which are like this, but many people know that the ancients read fortune telling, but they don't know why. Asked why, he said, "It's in the book." In fact, all these things come from experience. Some people say that Zeng Guofan, a famous minister of ZTE in the Qing Dynasty, has thirteen sets of knowledge, and only one set has been handed down-Zeng Guofan's letters, and the rest are gone. In fact, there are two sets handed down from generation to generation, and the other is Zeng Guofan's knowledge of reading and fortune-telling-book ice guide. It contains the theory of fortune telling, which is different from other fortune telling books. He said: "fame depends on ambition", and it is very troublesome to talk about ambition. This brings us back to China's philosophy, which is linked with literature. How to explain this "qi"? Just a few things. "Yu" stands for celestial body. What do you mean by "spirit" It is the form of celestial structure. I can hardly explain it this way. What happened in China is so annoying. As China people say, "This man is not bad at manners". What is blowing is the "wind", and what is measured is how wide and how long the "degree" is. As for a person's "demeanor", it is an abstract adjective, but it is also very scientific. For example, in public, one of them attracts everyone's attention. This person is not necessarily beautiful, and there is nothing special on the surface, but he makes people feel different from others. This is called "grace".

"fame depends on ambition", that is, whether this person has fame or not depends on his demeanor. "Career depends on spirit". Of course, if a person's spirit is not good, it will be very tiring to do one thing. What career prospects will there be? "The poor look at nails", whether a person has a future depends on nails, and what does nails have to do with people's future? It definitely matters. According to physiology, nails are mainly composed of calcium. If calcium is not enough, it means poor physical strength. Poor physical strength, there is no spiritual competition. Some people's nails are not tile-shaped but flat, so we know that such people are very weak and sick. "Life is in the heel", life is not long, look at his heel when he walks. I once had a student who couldn't walk. He is really short-lived. Such people are short-lived first and smart second. Therefore, he works fast, but he is not practical. "If you want to see order, it's only in your words." How a person thinks depends on whether he speaks in an orderly way. This view is very scientific. The study of China, also known as the study of form and name, was popular in Wei and Jin Dynasties. There is a book called People's Tales. You might as well read it more. It will be useful. This poem was written by Wei Liushao and noted by Liu Min in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It is devoted to the study of people, in other words, it is the science of studying "people". Recently, the popular science of personnel management and occupational classification came from abroad. But our People is better. It is the real "personnel management" and "occupational classification", pointing out who belongs to which category. Some people are career-oriented, while others are definitely not. Don't make mistakes. Some people are learned, but not necessarily talented. Some people are talented, but not necessarily moral. Learned, talented and moral people are all first-class people, and there are not many such talents.

Once upon a time, there was an old friend who didn't read much, but got a few interesting words from his life experience. He said: "A gentleman has the ability and no temper; Middle-class people have the ability and temper; The last person has no ability and a big temper. " This can be said to be a famous saying and his insight. Therefore, in the world, you should know that some learned people often have a temper, so you should tolerate him and make use of his strengths-knowledge, regardless of his shortcomings-temper. His temper is not malicious to you, it is his own fault, and this is his shortcoming. What do you care? You should be filial. You should love and respect him as a monarch. Some of my students sometimes fly into a rage, and I ignore him. Later, he talked to me and apologized, so I asked him what his topic was. Don't lose your temper, just get to the point, and then you will lose your temper. He just laughed.

What is the second book that should be studied? This is an ordinary book that Huang Shigong gave to Sean. It is hard to say that this book is really a fake book, but it is also the crystallization of China culture. He has profound philosophical views on how to be a man and how to know people. It can also be said that he is a book about fortune telling. He doesn't mean how long his eyebrows are and how long his nose is. It doesn't have this set, but it is a real fortune-telling book. If you don't look at your eyebrows, nose and eyes, you probably look at this person's attitude and organization. Mencius also likes to visit fortune-teller, but he is not one of them. He pays attention to people's eyes. An aboveboard person must have a correct vision. People who like to look up must be arrogant; People who like to watch will move their minds; People who like squinting at least have psychological problems. This is the fortune teller's eyes, a science of Mencius fortune teller, and also the fortune teller's "ophthalmology"!

Confucius observes people and stresses principles. "Let it be"-what is his purpose? "Look at what happened"-knowing his source and motivation, from a legal point of view, is to look at his intentions. In criminal law, some cases are considered crimes only if they are intentional. In the past, people in China didn't engage in litigation, but those who liked to engage in litigation were called litigators. There was once a story that someone was accused of killing with a knife, guilty and wanted to pay for his life. In a lawsuit, the defendant asked for 1200 silver, which guaranteed his innocence. The defendant had to pay this 1200 silver even if he was cheated to save his life. After the litigant got the money, he took back the official document sent out, added the word "use" to "kill with a knife" and changed it to the word "jilt", so "jilt" the knife to kill, unintentional and innocent.

In the Qing dynasty, anyone who attended the ceremony of offering sacrifices to Confucius was not allowed to look around or turn around and talk during the ceremony. Otherwise, it is "disrespect", ranging from decapitation to imprisonment, or at least dismissal and never employment. Once, a governor led a subordinate to pay homage to Confucius, and there was a gap between his colleagues. A man went to see the emperor and asked him to answer back at the ceremony, so the emperor ordered the governor to know about it. When the governor received the imperial edict, he was frightened. Finally, he found the most annoying litigation lawyer from his subordinates. He was knocked for eight thousand two hundred pieces of silver, and one thousand two hundred pieces of silver bought a word. The litigation lawyer also said that one word and nine words were given away for nothing: "I am among the best, and I dare not recite." This answer is not only correct, but also the plaintiff is afraid to go up. Because if you don't turn your head, how will you know that the defendant has turned his head? Guilty! Everyone is guilty! In this way, the big case of killing a big official together was gently calmed down by the litigation lawyer in nine words.

Li Ling replied to the so-called "official of the sword and pen" in Su Wu's book, making their pen and ink. People in politics should understand this. They have been in business and politics for a long time and are familiar with the law. They specialize in writing pens and killing people, which is worse than knives. So when it comes to this, we must "let nature take its course" and look at his motives and purposes. "Look what happened", look at his source and the whole process of action. "Check his safety" and then see what he is usually satisfied with as a person. Can you be satisfied with reality? For example, some people find it difficult to settle down. A friend in his seventies, with white hair, is a knowledgeable scholar. Just retired, my wife died, and I have no interest in playing cards in my life. My handwriting is good, but I'm not interested in writing. Scholars could have read, but they want to sleep when they get the book, but they can't sleep when they lie down. At this point, I ask young friends to pay attention to the fact that the elderly are very poor, and there are several things that are the opposite: sitting and wanting to sleep, but lying down can't sleep. I cried without tears, but I smiled with tears. Talk about the present, forget it face to face, and even remember the past when I was a child. I can't hear what I say about him, but I can immediately hear what I scold him. This is the old man's distress-because he is too boring, too lonely and not interested in anything, he wants to have a girlfriend, so I advised him not to get married. His phenomenon is that the elderly feel insecure and uneasy. This is old people, but so are young people. This is a psychological problem. If a person has no place to settle down, it will become a big problem. Some people have a good spirit when they have a job; When there is no job, you can't feel at ease, which shows that it is difficult to feel at ease.

Confucius observed people from these three points, so he said, "What a shame! People are awkward! " The old man is going to run away. "Look at what it is, look at what it is and see what it is safe for." There is nothing to escape from observing people with these three points. What is the purpose of observing anyone's behavior as a person? What does he do? (The former belongs to the ideological aspect, while the latter belongs to the behavioral aspect. Besides, looking at his usual self-restraint, what is he content with? Some are content with pleasure, some are content with poverty, and some are content with plain. The hardest thing about learning is that people who are plain and content with plain can do anything. Because he won't be bothered by his career, how do you say this? A man who is content with being plain will make a fortune today and won't feel that he can't sleep with too much money; If he is poor, he will not feel poor and will not be threatened by money. So peace of mind is the hardest. Looking at people from these three points, placed in the chapter of "being a politician", is the key point to know and inspire people.

We are all familiar with the next sentence.

Confucius said: Reviewing the past and learning the new can be a teacher.

From the explanation of the text, we all know that it means looking back on the past and knowing the present, so we can be teachers. According to the superficial explanation, that's it. In fact, we need to know more about it. "Revise the past"-it's really not easy to know the past, such as the history of China, covering 5,000 years and 25 great stories. If the purpose of studying history is not to get a degree, what is it for? In order to "review the past and learn the new", you know the past and you know the future. In this way, "you can be a teacher", and the past is your teacher. "The past is not forgotten, and the teacher of the future is also." This is the meaning of reviewing the past and learning the new. What is the reason? Because of the previous successes and failures, whether individuals or countries, how they succeeded and how they failed, history has clearly told us a lot. Just chatting with someone, I mentioned that this generation of young people is very difficult to learn. They should not only know the roots of their China cultural tradition-the past, but also know the new knowledge of the present society, which is not only a domestic matter, but also a diplomatic matter, so people in politics should pay more attention to this matter. Therefore, "review the past and learn new things, and you can be a teacher." Only in this way can we really learn from the past history and judge the development of new things in the future.
