Confucius said that he could help people's career and not interfere in their marriage. Persuade others?

Zi Gong asked his friend. Confucius said, "You are good at giving advice. If you can't stop, don't bring disgrace to oneself. "

Interpretation: Zi Gong asked the way to make friends. Confucius said, "If a friend is at fault, we should try our best to persuade him and guide him to do good. If a friend doesn't accept persuasion, forget it, don't be bored. "

Today's meaning: It is a friend's moral responsibility to persuade the good and obey the rules, so "beneficial friend" can be compared with "good teacher". But when friends don't listen to harsh advice, they have to shut up. Otherwise, it will hurt feelings and even fight. Therefore, an open mind, rational judgment and great patience are necessary conditions for accepting suggestions.
