"The Analects of Confucius·Zihan"

Spring and Autumn Confucius

Zihan talks about profit and destiny With benevolence.

The Daxiang party members said: "How great is Confucius! He is learned but has no reputation." When Confucius heard this, he said to his disciples: "Why should I hold on? Is it on controlling or shooting? I am holding on to control. ”

Confucius said: “Ma Mian is a courtesy; now it is pure and frugal, so I follow the crowd. Bowing down is a courtesy; now bowing to the top is a courtesy; even though it goes against the crowd, I follow the lower ones.” ”

Zi Jue Four: No intention, no necessity, no solidity, no self.

Zi Zi was afraid of Kuang and said: "Since King Wen is gone, does Wen not care about you? Heaven will lose Siwen, and the deceased will not be able to be with him; Heaven will not lose Siwen, and Kuang people will treat him as he did. "What?"

Taizai asked Yu Zigong: "Master, how can the saint be so versatile?" , said: "Does the Grand Master know me? I am a young man, so I can do many despicable things. How many gentlemen are there? Not many."

Lao said: "Zi Yun: 'I will not try, so I Art. '"

Confucius said: "Do I know anything? I am ignorant. I have nothing to say."

Confucius said: "If the phoenix bird does not come, the river does not flow out of the map, I am already dead!"

Confucius saw those who were in decline, those who were wearing robes, and those who were blind. Even if they were few, they would do something wrong. The inevitable trend.

Yan Yuan sighed and said: "Looking up makes me taller, drilling makes me stronger. Look in front, but suddenly you are behind. Master is good at seducing me. He persuades me with literature and invites me with courtesy. I can't stop if I want to. After exhausting my talents, if I have established an outstanding person, even if I want to follow it, it is the end."

Zi Lu made his disciples his ministers. During the illness, he said: "It's been a long time since I committed fraud! I have no ministers but I have ministers. Who can I deceive? Are you deceiving God? Rather than die at the hands of a minister, I would rather die at the hands of two or three sons! And Even if I can't be buried in a big way, will I die on the road?" Zigong said: "There are beautiful jade here, and you want to hide them in a coffin?" Zi said: "Sell them? Oh, it’s a shame! I want to live in Jiuyi.”

Or he said: "How can it be so shabby?" Confucius said: "How can a gentleman live in such a shabby place?" "Everyone finds his place."

Confucius said: "When you go out, you serve the ministers, and when you go in, you serve your father and elder brothers. If you don't dare to be reluctant in funerals, if you don't get drunk, what's the point for me?"

Confucius said on the river: "The deceased is like a man! He did not give up day and night."

Confucius said: "I have never seen anyone who loves virtue as much as he loves sex."

Confucius said: "It's like a mountain. If I stop before I can reach a barrier, I will stop. It's like a flat land. Even if I cover a barrier, I will go forward."

Confucius said: "Those who speak without being lazy will return." "Yes!" Confucius said to Yan Yuan, "What a pity! I see progress but not end." Confucius said: "The seedlings are not beautiful." There is a husband, and there is a husband who is beautiful but not real."

Confucius said: "You can be afraid of those who come after you, but how can you know that those who are coming will not be heard of now? That's it."

Confucius said: "How can it be said that it is noble? How can Xun explain it without interpreting it? "If you don't make mistakes, then don't be afraid of changing yourself." "Three armies can seize the commander, but an ordinary man cannot seize the will."

Confucius said: "If you wear a robe, you will not be ashamed to stand up with a fox and raccoon dog. The reason is the same!" "What's the point of not praying?" Zi Lu recited it all his life. Confucius said: "This is the way, why is Zang enough?" /p>

Confucius said: "The wise do not be confused, the benevolent do not worry, the brave do not fear."

Confucius said: "You can learn from others, but you cannot learn from the appropriate way; you can learn from the appropriate. The Tao cannot be established; it can be established, but it cannot be established.”

“Tang Di’s beauty is the opposite. The room is far away.” Confucius said. Ye, why is it so far away?"

Translation:

Confucius rarely talked about interests, but he supported destiny and benevolence.

Someone in the Daxiang Party said: "Confucius is so great! He has profound knowledge, so he cannot be praised for his expertise in one area." Confucius heard about it and said to his students: " Which aspect should I specialize in? Driving? Or archery? Confucius said: "The top hat made of linen is in line with the rules of etiquette." Silk production is much more economical than in the past. I agree with everyone's practice of kneeling down in the hall first, which is also in line with etiquette. Now everyone kneels down in the hall, which is a sign of arrogance. The method is different, but I still advocate worshiping in the hall first."

Confucius eliminated four shortcomings: no subjective suspicion, no fixed expectations, no stubbornness, and no selfishness. .

When Confucius was besieged by the people of Kuangdi, he said: "After King Wen of Zhou died, wouldn't the ritual and music culture of the Zhou Dynasty be reflected in me? If God wants to eliminate this culture , then it is impossible for me to master this culture; if God does not destroy this culture, what can the Kuang people do to me?"

Dazai asked Zigong: "Confucius is a saint? Right? Why is he so versatile?" Zigong said, "God made him a saint and made him versatile." When Confucius heard this, he said, "How could Dazai know me? Because I was of low status when I was young." There are many humble skills. Can a gentleman have so many skills?"

Zilao said: "Confucius said, 'I didn't become an official (when I was young), so I know how to do it. Many skills."

Confucius said: "Do I have knowledge? In fact, I have no knowledge. A countryman asked me that I didn't know anything about the question he asked. Go and ask, so that you can understand all the problems."

Confucius said: "If the phoenix does not come, the Bagua diagram will no longer appear in the Yellow River. My life will be over! ”

When Confucius met people in mourning clothes, officials or blind people, even though they were young, they must stand up, and when passing by them, they must walk quickly.

Yan Yuan sighed and said: "(For the teacher's knowledge and morality), I looked up, and the more I looked, the higher I felt; I studied hard, and the more I studied, the more inexhaustible I felt. It seemed to be in front of me, Suddenly it seemed like I was behind.

The teacher was good at guiding me step by step, using various classics to enrich my knowledge, and using various etiquette to restrain my words and deeds, making it impossible for me to stop learning. , until I exhausted all my strength. It seemed that there was something very tall standing in front of me. Although I wanted to follow it, there was no way forward."

Confucius was seriously ill, and Zi Lu was there. He sent (Confucius's) disciples to be Confucius' retainers (responsible for taking care of the funeral). Later, Confucius' illness improved a little, and he said: "Zhong You has been doing this kind of deceit for a long time.

I obviously don’t have retainers, but I still pretend to have retainers. Who am I to lie? Should I lie to God? Rather than die in the presence of retainers, wouldn’t it be better to die in the presence of you students? And even if I cannot be buried with the courtesy of a doctor, will I be left on the roadside without being buried?" Zigong said: "There is a piece of beautiful jade here, and I keep it in a cabinet? ? Or find a knowledgeable merchant to sell it? "Confucius said: "Sell it, sell it! I'm waiting for someone who knows the merchandise." Confucius wants to move to Jiuyi. live. Someone said: "It is very backward, closed, and uncivilized. How can we live there?" Confucius said: "If a gentleman lives there, it will not be closed and backward."

Confucius said: "I returned from Weiguo After arriving in the State of Lu, music was sorted out, and elegant music and song music were each properly arranged."

Confucius said: "Serve the ministers abroad, honor your father and elder brothers at home, and don't dare not do your best when it comes to funerals. , if I am not trapped by wine, what difficulty do these things have for me?"

Confucius said by the river: "The passing time is like this river, flowing forward day and night? Go."

Confucius said: "I have never seen anyone as virtuous as lustful.

”

Confucius said: “It’s like building a mountain with soil, and only one basket of soil is needed to finish it. If I stop at this time, I have to stop myself; The next basket, moving on at this time, is what I want to move forward on. "

Confucius said: "The only person who can listen to me without slacking off is Yan Hui! "

Confucius said to Yan Yuan: "What a pity! I just saw him keep going, I never saw him stop. ”

Confucius said: “There are situations where crops sprout but cannot sprout ears and flowers; there are also situations where crops sprout ears and flowers but do not bear fruit.” "

Confucius said: "Young people are worthy of awe. How do you know that the next generation is not as good as the previous one? If he is still unknown in his forties or fifties, then he has nothing to fear. ”

Confucius said: “Who can disobey correct advice that conforms to etiquette and law? But (only by following it) correcting your own mistakes is valuable. Who can be displeased when hearing words of humility and praise? But it is valuable only if we carefully investigate its authenticity. I am just happy without analyzing, just obeying without correcting my mistakes. (For such a person) I really have no way to deal with him. ”

Confucius said: “Loyalty and trustworthiness should be the main thing in acting. Can you not be friendly to those around you who are not as good as you? Even if they make mistakes, don't be afraid to correct them. ”

Confucius said: “A country’s army can take away its commander; but a man’s ambition cannot be forced to change.” ”

Confucius said: “Probably only Zhong You can wear a shabby silk cotton robe and stand with people wearing fox and raccoon skin robes without thinking it is shameful. (The Book of Songs says:) ‘Don’t be jealous, don’t be greedy, why is it bad to say that? '" After hearing this, Zilu recited this poem repeatedly. Confucius said again: "How can you say it is good enough if you only do this? "

Confucius said: "In the cold season, we know that the pines and cypresses are the last to wither. ”

Confucius said: “Continuously seek knowledge so that you will no longer be confused about things in the real world; treat others sincerely as yourself, so that you no longer worry about personal gains and losses; move forward bravely to practice As for not being afraid of any difficulties. ”

Confucius said: “Those who can learn together may not all learn the Tao; those who can learn the Tao may not be able to stick to the Tao; those who can stick to the Tao may not be able to adapt to changes.” "

An ancient poem wrote: "The flowers of Tang Di are swaying gracefully. How can I not miss you? It's just because my family lives too far away. Confucius said: "He still doesn't really miss it. If he really misses it, why is it so far away?" "
