Interpretation:

Lu Chunqiu Cha Zhuan: "Lu Aigong asked Confucius,' Happy Kui, one foot, do you believe it?' Confucius said:' The former Shun wanted to preach to the world with joy, so he made Li Ju immerse himself in the grass, and Shun thought that happiness was right.

it's a perfect six-tone, and five-tone, so as to pass the eight winds, and the whole world will be greatly served. Paying attention to Li and wanting to benefit others, Shun said, "... if you are a good person, it will be enough." Therefore, it is said that one foot is not a foot. After that, because "one foot is enough" means that one person with real talent is enough.

translation:

Aigong asked Confucius, "I heard about a foot. Is it credible?" (Confucius) said: "Hey, it's a person, how can it have one foot?"

There is nothing special about him, but he is proficient in temperament (music). Yao said,' one person is enough.' He was appointed as Lezheng. Therefore, the learned

people say,' There is a foot, not a foot.'

Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals is a famous work of Huang Lao-dao's family, which was compiled by a group of scholars under the auspices of Lv Buwei, the prime minister of Qin State. The book was written on the eve of Qin Shihuang's unification of China. This book is based on Confucianism, Taoism, the thoughts and theories of Ming, Fa, Mo, Nong, Bing, Yin and Yang, melting hundred schools of thought's theory in one furnace, shining with profound wisdom.

Lv Buwei wanted to take this as the ideology after the unification of Daqin. However, Qin Shihuang, who was in power later, chose legalism, which frustrated all hundred schools of thought, including Taoism. Lv's Spring and Autumn Annals, a masterpiece of Taoism in the pre-Qin period, is a masterpiece of Taoism in the late Warring States period. The book is divided into 26 volumes, 16 articles and more than 2, words.

As a twelve-period, eight-view and six-theory book, Lv's Spring and Autumn Annals focuses on learning from many schools of thought, taking Taoism as the main body and adopting the theories of Yin and Yang, Confucianism and Mohism, Ming Fa and Bing Nong. But the main purpose belongs to Taoism.

Therefore, History of Han, Art and Literature, etc. listed it as a sage. Gao You said that the book "Lv's Spring and Autumn Annals" was "decent, with morality as the standard and inaction as the discipline", which showed that the earliest annotators had already pointed out the characteristics of Taoism as the leading thought in Lv's Spring and Autumn Annals.

Lv Buwei (292-235 years ago), surnamed Jiang, surnamed Lu, was born in Puyang (now hua county, Henan Province). At the end of the Warring States period, he was a businessman, politician, thinker, prime minister of Qin State, and grandson of Jiang Ziya 23rd.

In his early years, he did business in Yang Zhai, helped the proton aliens of Qin to return to China and ascended the throne. He became the king of Qin Zhuang, worshipped as the prime minister, sealed the post of Wen Xin, and lived in Luoyang, Henan, with 1, households.

He led troops to capture the land of Zhou, Zhao and Wei, and set up Sanchuan County, Taiyuan County and Dong County respectively, which made great contributions to the cause of Ying Zheng, king of Qin, annexing the six countries. After the death of King Zhuang Xiang, he welcomed Prince Ying Zheng to the throne and worshipped him as a prime minister, honoring him as "Guanzhong" and ruling the world. Affected by the rebellion of Lao Ai Group, he went home, and the whole family exiled to Shu County, drinking zhenniao on the way.

He presided over the compilation of Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals (also known as Lu Lan), which included eight readings, six theories and twelve periods, and merged the theories of various schools of thought in the pre-Qin period, and was called "miscellaneous scholar" in history.

In the pre-Qin period, the more people celebrities raised, the higher their reputation. For example, Chu Youchun Shenjun, Zhao YouPing Yuanjun, Qi YouMeng Changjun, and Wei Youxin Lingjun are all political celebrities who are eager for talents and enjoy high prestige among the nations.

Lv Buwei thinks that as a strong Qin Xiangguo, he is inferior to the above-mentioned people. Therefore, he also recruits talents and scholars, and gives courtesy to the guests who come to follow him, in order to compete with the guests of the above-mentioned celebrities.

At that time, celebrities from all over the world were often proud of their guests' ability to write books and make statements. Therefore, Lv Buwei also ordered his disciples to compile their knowledge and experience, and a brilliant collective creation was born, which was published in his name, that is, Lu Chunqiu. This is a great event that Lv Buwei did during his administration.

Anyone who hears rumors must be thoroughly examined, and everyone must be tested by reason. Lu Aigong asked Confucius, "Le Zhengkui has only one foot, really?" Confucius said: "In the past, Shun wanted to spread enlightenment to the people all over the world with music, so he asked Zhong Li to recommend Kui from the people and used him, and Shun appointed him as Le Zheng. Kui then corrected the six laws and harmonized the five tones to reconcile the qi of Yin and Yang. Therefore, the world is obedient. Zhong Li also wants to find more people like Kui. Shun said,' Music is the essence of heaven and earth, and the key to the country's chaos control. Only saints can achieve harmony, and harmony is the foundation of music. Kui can harmonize the melody, thus making the world stable. One person like Kui is enough. " Therefore, it is said that' one Kui is enough', not' Kui has only one foot'. "There was a man named Ding in Song State. There was no well at home, so he needed to go out to fetch water. He often sent a person to take charge of fetching water outside. When his family dug a well, he told others, "My family got a man by digging a well." Someone listened to it and spread it: "Ding Jia dug a well and dug a person." Everyone in the capital has told stories about it, which was heard by Song Jun.. Song Jun sent someone to ask the surname Ding about the situation. The surname Ding replied, "It is not a living person who has been dug in the well." It's better not to listen to rumors like this. 3. Aigong asked Confucius, "I have heard about kui, and I believe it. < P > Aigong asked Confucius," I have heard about Kui (pronounced kui, name), and I believe it? " Yue: "Hey, people are also, why is it enough?" There is no difference between them, but only through sound.

Therefore, the gentleman said,' If there is a foot, it is not a foot.' In fact, it means this. Aigong asked Confucius, "I heard that Kui has only one leg. Is that true?" Confucius said, "Kui is a person, because why does he have only one foot?"? There is nothing unusual about him, but he is particularly familiar with temperament. Yao said,' One such person is enough.

' So he was appointed as Lezheng. Therefore, the gentleman said,' one is enough, not that he has only one leg.

Excerpt from the original text: Li is emphasized and he wants to benefit and ask for help. Shun said, "Happiness is the essence of heaven and earth, and the festival of gains and losses is also. Therefore, only saints are the foundation of energy and happiness. If we can make peace with each other, it will be enough to level the world. Therefore,' one foot' is not' one foot'. "

Zhong Li also wants to find more people like Kui. Shun said, "Music is the essence of heaven and earth, and it is the key to national chaos control.
