Confucius said, "It is shameful for Zuo Qiuming to talk eloquently and pretend to be kind and too respectful." . Zuo Qiuming thinks it is shameful to keep resentment in his heart, but he is friendly to him on the surface. I also think that people who behave like this are shameful. "

Excerpt from The Analects of Confucius

Excerpt:

Zi Han talks about interests, life and kindness.

Daxiang party member said, "Great Confucius! Learn without name. " The son listened and said to his younger brother, "What can I do? Stay royal, keep shooting? I am under control. "

Confucius said: "Ma Mian, courtesy also; Today is also pure and frugal, I follow the crowd. Worship, courtesy also; Thank you today, grandpa; Although it is aimed at the public, I am from the bottom. "

Translation:

Confucius seldom talked about interests, but he was in favor of destiny and benevolence.

Some people in the Dafang Party said, "Confucius is really great! He is knowledgeable and cannot be praised for his expertise in one aspect. " Confucius listened and said to his students, "What should I specialize in?" ? What about driving? Or archery? I had better drive. "

Confucius said, "A hat made of linen conforms to the rules of etiquette. Now everyone uses black silk, which is more economical than in the past. I agree with everyone's approach. (I see the monarch) First of all, bow down under the hall.

This is also in line with the ceremony. Now everyone bows their heads in class, which is a sign of arrogance. Although it is different from everyone's practice, I still advocate attending classes first. "
