5. 18? Confucius said, "Zang Wenzhong lives in Caishan Festival. I don't know about it."

To annotate ...

▲ Zang Wenzhong: Zang Chen is called Zang Sunchen. Shi Wen, the second son of Zang Aibo, was also called Zang Wenzhong after his death. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Dr. Lu, a hereditary shepherd, held a ceremony to protect the office.

Zang Sun is not a surname, and Zang Sun is limited to the title of patriarch. Generally, clan members can only be called Zang Mou. Therefore, Zang is Zang's family, not Zang.

▲ Gathering wealth: wealth, a turtle for divination. Say that the turtle's name is "Cai"; The tortoise comes from Cai, because the tortoise's name is Cai. Gathering wealth is a "turtle house". The tortoise shell of the ancient tortoise is the exclusive object of the emperor's sacrifice and divination, and can only be owned by the emperor. It is an important instrument for national sacrifice and divination, and it is called turtle protection special care.

▲ Sargassum nodosum [Zhuū]: a mountain festival, a bucket arch engraved with mountain patterns (the bucket arch of the ancestral hall is engraved with mountain patterns). Algae tree, the short column on the beam is carved with water grass patterns. All this is the decoration of the Temple of Heaven Emperor. Later, it was used to describe the luxury of life. The more extravagant, the better. ("Mountain Festival Algae" comes from "Book of Rites Mingtang") Algae, aquatic plants. Short column on beam.

Confucius said, "Zang Wenzhong, as a doctor who divines tortoise shells, carved mountain patterns on the arches of tortoise chambers and water plants on the short columns on the beams. How can he be considered wise? "

Xueersi

Confucius thinks that Tibetans are not wise, not because Tibetans occupied the ancestral temple to decorate the turtle's home, but because it is unwise to flatter people. "Yongye Chapter" 6.22 Fan Chi asked about knowledge, and Confucius said: "For the people's righteousness, staying away from ghosts and gods can be described as knowing." Confucius thinks it is wise to respect ghosts and gods instead of believing in them.

Xunzi's outline: "Those who are good and easy will not take it." A person's good or bad depends on his moral cultivation and behavior. People who are proficient in the Book of Changes must understand the changing laws of all things, and flexibly apply the concept of "golden mean" to deal with various complicated problems according to specific conditions. People who are truly proficient in the Book of Changes do not need to rely on divination to decide good or bad luck. )

Confucius said: Confucius asked Qi Diao, "Who is a saint among the three doctors, Zang Wenzhong, Wu Zhong and Ru Yirong?" There are: "Zang family has turtle protection, Wenzhong has one trillion yuan in three years, Wuzhong has two trillion yuan in three years, and the boy has three trillion yuan in three years. Feng sees it himself; " Whether husband and wife are virtuous or not is unknown. "

Confucius once asked Qi Diao, "You have served Zang Wenzhong, Zang Wuzhong and Ru. Which of the three doctors is wiser? " Qi Diao said: "As a doctor in charge of divining tortoise shells, Wen Zhong divined once every three years and twice every three years when Wuzhong was in power;" I've seen this situation three times in three years. If I have to ask three people who are smart and who are not, I'm not sure. "Note: the tortoise guard is the tortoise shell used by emperors and emperors for divination. According to Zhou Li, this turtle shell is guarded by a special person, so it is called guarding the tortoise. Omen: Cracks caused by burning tortoise shells in ancient times. Prophecy: a sign before something happens. )

Cheng Shude's Interpretation of the Analects of Confucius quoted all the questions and answers about history: "Tibetan grandchildren live in Cai, don't buy houses privately, and the world is a doctor who keeps Cai Zhilu." However, if the grandson is hidden in Cai, why is there? "

He also said: If you hide your grandchildren, you will be frugal. Is there anyone in the world who pretends to be the temple decoration of the son of heaven and lets my concubine weave in it? The cover is also out of proportion. I know this will never happen. However, how will the algae in the mountains be treated? When it is used to gather wealth, the so-called flattering god invites happiness.

Confucius said in Zhang's "Four Books": "Everyone regards Zang Wenzhong as wisdom, but a wise man is bound to be confused by reason. Please give him an example. Moreover, there is a big turtle in Lu. Although it is used for divination, it is only a sign of doubt and cannot handle fortune. Wenzhong lived in the house, carved the stigma into a mountain shape, and the short columns on the beams were painted with water plants. If chinemys reevesii lives in it and can benefit mankind, it will be a big surprise. " God is right to cover people with reason. Man's reason should be done, but God's reason is obscure and unknowable. It is wise to do what must be done, and not to take things that are difficult to know. Nowadays, Wen Zhong flatters ghosts and gods in this way instead of serving the people's righteousness, which is not up to the principle of ignorance, but is confused by the theory of fortune and happiness, and his heart is very unclear.
