The story of Confucius:

First, wisdom and harmony.

-The story is based on Liezi: Zhong Ni.

Confucius had a disciple named Xia Zi. One day, he asked Confucius about the cultivation of some students.

He asked, "Teacher, what kind of person is Yan Hui?"

Confucius hesitated for a moment and replied, "Yan Hui's kindness is better than mine."

"What about Zigong?" Xia Zi then asked.

"He! His eloquence is better than mine. " Confucius said with a smile.

"Where is Lutz's classmate Lutz?" Summer want to then asked.

Confucius smiled happily and said, "In terms of brave spirit, we are not as good as him."

"What about that child? Does Zhang Zi also have a teacher? " Xia Zi is very skeptical.

Confucius paused and said, "Zhang Zi, a classmate, is more serious and rigorous than me as a teacher."

Hearing this, Xia Zi couldn't help standing up. He bowed and asked, "Teacher, I don't understand this." Since the four students are richer than the teacher, why should they learn from you? "

When Confucius saw Xia Zi like this, he raised his hand and pressed it down. He kindly said to Xia Zi, "Xia Zi! Don't worry, sit down and listen to me slowly. Although Yan Hui is very kind, sometimes he is too kind, which makes his heart unbearable, makes him blindly accommodate others, affects his correct judgment of the situation, and thus harms others and himself. So, although he can be kind, he can't stand it. (Note: Buddhists sometimes say that compassion breeds disaster, that's what it means) "

Confucius then said to Xia Zi, "As for Zi Gong, his eloquence is really good. It can be said that eloquence is not an obstacle. He is proficient in the wonderful use of language, but he doesn't know the limitations of language and the power of silence. Therefore, he can argue. "

Confucius said, "Lutz is a rare warrior. But sometimes I don't know how to be modest, how to give in, how to be timid, how to defend, and how to start work easily. It is inevitable that you will lose your temper. Therefore, he can be brave and fearless. "

"And Zhang Zi," Confucius said here, sank, and then said, "He is so solemn and rigorous that he can't stand things. You can't be pleasant, you can't accommodate dirty people, people are afraid of it and stay away from it. Therefore, he can be strong, but not harmonious. "

"So," Confucius finally concluded, "I add up the strengths of these four students and don't want to change my cultivation. That's why they should follow me wholeheartedly. "

Second, SHEN WOO doesn't kill people.

When it comes to Confucian gentlemen, people often associate them with the image of gentle, polite and weak scholars. As the founder of Confucianism, Confucius easily leaves the impression of an amiable old gentleman. However, the description of Confucius' talent and appearance in ancient books is surprising.

According to the related records in the family story of Confucius and Huainanzi, Confucius has a broad forehead, a lion's nose and a wide mouth, and the top of his big skull is slightly concave. Body length (weeks) is nine feet six inches. The weekly system is one foot, and it is about 20 to 23 centimeters in modern times. In other words, Confucius was at least 1.92 meters tall and was a standard Shandong man. The record also said that Confucius' wisdom surpassed Changhong of the Zhou Dynasty, an official doctor who was familiar with astronomy, geography and personnel. Confucius' courage overwhelmed Meng Ben, a famous warrior at that time. Confucius went into battle lightly and chased the rabbit, so that he could step on it when it was running around desperately. Confucius raised his arms to hold up the fallen gate of Chengguan. However, although Confucius had extraordinary courage and skill, it was hidden and little known. He just devoted himself to cultivating the original benevolence and preaching the benevolence of the former king, and eventually became a generation of vegetarian kings and immortals. The so-called vegetarian king, in ancient times, refers to a vegetarian king who has the virtue of an emperor and has no position as an emperor.

Confucius lived in an era with a population of only several million. But as many as 3,000 disciples learned from Confucius. They are all elites from all over the world with all kinds of talents. With the wisdom and charisma of Confucius and the assistance of his disciples, it was not difficult to seek power in a country at that time. However, Confucius knew that if there was no pure moral thought as the basis, culture and education could not keep up, and social stability and public happiness would not last long only by the support of Machiavellian forces. Moreover, stability and happiness in this situation are unrealistic.

Therefore, Confucius would rather be poor and miserable all his life, be misunderstood and ignorant of current affairs, but also undertake the great task of inheriting and carrying forward traditional excellent culture and excellent political wisdom, create peace for the whole world and lay a good cultural foundation. Confucius did not care about personal gains and losses, but always paid attention to the moral cultivation of the world and the guidance of pure social thoughts, which was rarely understood at that time. Even some Taoist hermits with good personal moral cultivation are quite critical of this. However, "knowing what you can't do" is exactly what Confucius and later real Confucian scholars did.

Dharma, the founder of Zen Buddhism, observed the Mahayana weather in China before coming to China, which is related to the existence of Confucian spirit in China. Therefore, a Zen master said that if Confucius is measured by Buddhist standards, there should be more than eight reincarnations as great bodhisattvas.

Third, the poor are happy.

-The story is based on Zhuangzi: Jean Wang.

Once, Confucius was invited by King Zhao of Chu to visit Chu, passing between Chen and Cai. Both Chen and Cai's doctors are afraid that Confucius will be reused by Chu, which is not good for their own country. So they sent troops to trap Confucius and his disciples between Chen and Cai. Confucius and his party didn't make a fire to cook for seven days in a row. There is not a grain of rice in the cooked potherb soup, which makes many disciples listless and look like a dish. Confucius is still indoors at the moment, and the string songs have not stopped.

Disciple Yan Hui chose wild vegetables outside at this moment and saw Lutz and Zigong together, mumbling:

"Mr. was expelled from Lu twice and failed to stay in Weiguo. He taught by singing, and even the trees on his back were cut down. When I visited Zhou, I was scolded by Lao Zi. Now, he is trapped between Chen and Cai. It is not forbidden to kill Mr. and bully Mr. .. Mr. Wang is still here, playing the strings and playing the piano. Is it really shameless for a gentleman to enjoy himself? "

Yan Hui was speechless when he heard this. I had to go in and tell Confucius. After hearing this, Confucius pushed the piano and sighed, "Luz, Zigong! Are you really bad people? Call them in, I have something to say to them. "

Luz and Zigong entered the house. Lutz complained to Confucius: "Teacher, we have reached this stage, which can be said to be the end of the road!"

Hearing this, Confucius snapped, "Lutz! What is this? A gentleman knows that Tao is communication, but he doesn't know that Tao is poverty. We hold the principle of benevolence and righteousness, and it is normal that we are less benevolent and less righteous in this troubled times and bear hardships and stand hard work. Why should we be poor? Self-examination is worthy of the Tao, and it does not lose its virtue when it comes to things. When the cold comes and the frost and snow fall, you will know the real Qiang Mao of pine and cypress. In the past, Qi Huangong was humiliated in Chu, but he set up Wang Ba's ambition. Being bullied in Cao, I have the heart to be king and dominate. The King of Yue was humiliated in Huiji, but he strengthened his determination to restore the country. This time, we encountered such hardships, isn't it a very lucky thing? "

After that, Confucius returned to the piano case to play. When Lutz heard this, he also took the weapon and danced to the rhythm. Seeing this, Zi Gong sighed with shame: "I really don't know how high the sky is and how thick the ground is!"

Therefore, moral people in ancient times were happy when they were proud and happy when they were frustrated. What they enjoy has nothing to do with gain or loss. There are gains and losses in moral comfort in internal and external environment, but as a substitute for cold and summer storms, it is not enough to disturb the self-mind.

Fourth, art connects his heart.

-The story is based on a biography of Korean poetry.

One day, Confucius idled around and amused himself by playing the piano indoors. Disciples Zeng Shen and Zi Gong sat in the outer hall, listening attentively.

At the end of the song, Zeng Shen muttered to himself, "Hey! How is that possible? How can the teacher's piano sound reveal a greedy, vicious and evil mood? How can it be so serious in the sound of the piano? "

For what Zeng Shen said, Zi Gong was in his heart and agreed. However, he did not answer Zeng Shen's words, but stood up and walked to and from the room.

When Confucius saw Zi Gong coming in, he looked puzzled and persuaded him, so he put down his piano and waited for him to speak. Zi Gong told the truth that Zeng Shen said just now.

Confucius was surprised by Zeng Shen when he heard Zi Gong's words. He said: "Zeng Shen is really the greatest saint in the world! He is already familiar with the mystery of melody. "

Then, Confucius went on to explain the whole story to Zi Gong. He said, "Just now, I was playing the piano and played several boxes. A mouse was swimming indoors and was found by a cat. The cat followed the beam and crept up on the mouse. Then, choose the right position, squint, bend over, wait for the opportunity to save the mouse. Later, the cat's wishful thinking failed. Because the cat's mentality at that time was reflected in my heart, I naturally expressed it through the piano. Therefore, it is appropriate for Zeng Shen to say that there is a greedy and evil mood in my piano. "

The Confucian classic "Book of Rites and Music" said: "Happiness comes from people's hearts. People's emotions are indifferent, and their voices are reflected outside. The change of sound is artistic, and it becomes music. Therefore, during the reign of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, pop music was usually full of comfort and joy. It also reflects the national politics at this time and is in a clear and peaceful state. In turbulent times, pop music is often full of resentment and anger. It also reflects the national politics at this time, which is in a situation of poor government orders and deviation from top to bottom. And a world close to national subjugation, its pop music, will be full of sadness and anxiety. It shows that people at this time have been in trouble and can only comfort themselves by recalling the past. Therefore, the way of speaking and the way of politics are interlinked.

Five, to know the degree of kindness.

-The story is based on Huai Nan Zi and Shuo Yuan.

At one time, the law of Lu stipulated that if someone redeemed a woman who was a slave in other vassal countries from Lu, that person could go to the government to receive remuneration.

On one occasion, Zigong redeemed a Lu native in a vassal state, but politely declined the reward from the imperial court. When Confucius heard this, he said to Zi Gong:

"Zi Gong! What you did was wrong. Saints can change customs, make people follow suit and influence future generations, not just for their own interests. At present, there are few rich people in Shandong and many poor people. If the redeemer goes back to collect the bounty, it is considered dishonest. Without the incentive of the bounty, fewer people will be willing to redeem. Therefore, your behavior of only considering your own moral cultivation will cause Lu people to be unwilling to go to other vassal countries to redeem people in the future. "

After listening to the teachings of Confucius, Lutz was deeply inspired. Later, when he saved a drowning man, others wanted to send him a cow to thank him, and Luz respectfully accepted it. After Confucius knew it, he said happily, "In the future, many Lu people will be willing to save people from danger."

Soon, Lutz was appointed Governor of Pucheng. In order to prevent floods, the government mobilized migrant workers to build ditches everywhere in spring. Lutz saw that everyone worked hard but didn't bring enough food, so he used part of his salary to help everyone, a meal and a bowl of soup. When Confucius heard about this, he quickly sent Zigong to carry grain and destroy cookers. Lutz was very angry when he found out. He ran to Confucius angrily and shouted:

"The teacher will be jealous of my righteousness? What Lutz learned from the teacher was only benevolence and righteousness. Righteousness, and this world * * * takes up all, * * * takes advantage of all. Now, Lutz is doing a righteous thing and sharing his leftover food with everyone. Why did the teacher forbid it? I can't figure it out! "

After hearing the story of Lutz, Confucius shook his head and said, "Lutz! You are still so rude and simple. If you think that migrant workers don't have enough to eat, why don't you tell Lu Jun? Let Lu Jun open the granary to help them? You use your private salary to do justice. This kind of behavior is obstructing lujun's kindness and showing your own morality. It may not be too late to stop now, otherwise, the day of punishing you will come soon. " Lutz was speechless when he heard this. Sure enough, the prime minister sent someone to find Confucius and said, "Mr. Wang sent his disciples to help migrant workers. Is it necessary to compete with Lu Jun for the people?"

Seeing this situation, Confucius knew that it was useless to explain. So he left Lu with his disciples.

Sixth, it's hard not to be bad

-The story is based on Shuo Yuan.

In the state of Lu, there was a gentleman named Qi Diao Sagittarius. He has served three generations of Lu doctors: Zang Wenzhong, Wuzhong and Ru.

Once, Confucius asked Ma, "Your husband works in Zang's house, and three of them are doctors. Can you tell me which is wiser? "

The centaur replied, "Zang's family has a very valuable turtle shell named Cai. If there is any big event that can't be decided, use Cai to predict doubts. During the period of Master Wen Zhong, Cai was used for divination once every three years. When Wu Zhong was in power, he used "talent" for divination twice in three years. Master Ru Zirong used "talent" for divination three times in three years. I saw what i saw. As for the three doctors who are the cleverest, I don't know Centaur. "

Confucius smiled and said, "Mr. Wang is really good at talking!" "

Confucius talked to his disciples about this matter after returning to China and praised: "Mr. Sagittarius is really a gentleman!" " He didn't want to talk about his master's virtue and stupidity in front of others, but he skillfully gave an example to illustrate the truth. What he means is that a person, because of his lack of insight and foresight, has to ask for divination again and again. And the ancients said: those who are good and easy do not anticipate. In other words, a truly knowledgeable and intelligent person can intuitively understand the changing laws of things without divination. "
