There is a cry in history that is not inferior to Confucius. "Shun went to see the field and cried for three days." Son of Heaven Shun once ran into the wild and cried loudly to the sky. Why? Mencius explained the reason and "complained." Mencius, who lost his father at the age of 3, easily understood the saint's crying. It turns out that they are all "blaming their loved ones and yearning for them." "Fifty admirers" Shun is the first filial piety in the world. In the same way, Confucius' "lifelong respect for parents" should also be regarded as filial piety. Confucius, who lost his father at the age of 3 and his mother at the age of 17, must have a tidal wave of admiration in his heart, even though he was tall and strong.
"Mourn for your parents and give birth to me! ..... If you want to repay kindness, you will be confused. " With the pain of Guo E's loss, it is not difficult for us to understand Confucius' "mourning" and "crying". Every time he loses his Lord, Confucius' homesickness will come crashing down. On that day, Confucius didn't have enough to eat and couldn't taste the sweetness. A person who loved music didn't sing all day. On that day, he seemed to walk out of a sad river and shed homesick tears all day. This made me cry more than two thousand years later. Confucius mourned when he was in trouble and cried when he was sad. This is not only a professional attitude of "mourning", but also a "sympathy" that everyone has. His broad mind must be saturated with every life.
Confucius said, "A benevolent person is also great." Loving parents is the most important thing. How can a person who doesn't even love his parents love others? When the universal truth "Don't do to others what you don't want them to do to you" comes out of Confucius' mouth with homesick tears, we really feel his sincerity and sincerity in pushing others. I deeply realized the earnest expectation in the words of "being gentle, respectful and frugal". Confucius, who has the ideal declaration of "hearing the Tao early and dying late", tells people that a gentleman knows his destiny and a benevolent person should be "love". Confucius' philosophy is never empty and abstract. Therefore, crying is a "benevolent" thing, and not crying must be a "ruthless" thing. I don't think Liu Bang will cry. Xiang Yu kept saying that he would take his father to cook soup, and he even joked that he could get a piece of it. Yang Guang won't cry either, or he won't kill his father and brother. In their minds, family ties are greater than national interests. And once there is only profit in your eyes, there will be tears. How can a person be a real person without tears?
The Life and Death of Two Crying Children, Confucius Family Stories and Zuo Zhuan all recorded Confucius' crying again. When the son was born and died, the son heard the tears and said, "The legacy of ancient times is also love!" Prime Minister Zheng, whom Confucius has never met, is a politician who advocates reform. Confucius was 30 years old when he died. The 30-year-old Confucius has not yet accepted the learning ceremony of Nangong Shu Jing Brothers, and his great teaching career has not yet begun. 30-year-old Confucius hasn't visited Laozi for a week. Although it is well known in Shandong that "the son of man knows the ceremony", the plan to invite the ceremony is already brewing. The 30-year-old Confucius, despite his experience of "supporting servants" and "riding a horse", has not had a chance to tell Qi Jinggong the famous saying "an monarch and a minister, a father and son, a son", although his benevolence has been established.
The 30-year-old Confucius is full of energy and ready to go. "Tian Xingjian, the gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement." Confucius encouraged himself as well as the gentleman. Confucius, at the beginning of all things, hopes that more forces will echo each other and go hand in hand to jointly save this world with broken rituals and broken music. In Confucius' view, the son of Zheng Guo and Yan Zi of Qi State are seed players who practice benevolence. Although Zi chan cast the tripod, Confucius' view was the opposite. "The way of politics, together with punishment, people from * * *. Tao is virtuous, Qi is courteous, and the people are ashamed and qualified. " Confucius believes that punishment and law can control the body, but not the mind, only for a while, not for a lifetime. And "courtesy" can be mingde, virtue can be clear-minded, and knowing the body can naturally be correct.
