Zi Yue: "Guan Zhong's instrument Xiao Ya! Or: "Guan Zhongjian?" "Guan Clan has three returns, official affairs are not taken, and they are thrifty?" "Then guan Zhongzhi Lihu?" "The Bangjun tree plugs the door, and the Guan clan also has the tree saimen; the Bangjun has a regurgitation for the good of the two kings, and the Guan clan also has a regurgitation." Guan Clan knows etiquette, but who does not know etiquette? [Translation]
Confucius said, "Guan Zhong's instrument is a bit small. Someone asked, "Is Guan Zhong too frugal?" Confucius said: "Guan Zhongjian has three mansions, and his staff never works part-time, so how can we say that we are frugal?" Someone asked, "So does Guan Zhong understand the rules of etiquette?" Confucius said: "The monarch set up a gate in front of the door, Guan Zhong also set up a gate, the monarch set up a banquet to entertain the kings of neighboring countries, built a crucible to place wine glasses, Guan Zhong also built a crucible to place wine glasses, if Guan Zhong understands the rules of etiquette, then who else does not understand the rules of etiquette?" ”
■ Zhang Ju is honest and straightforward
Guan Zhong, is Doctor Qi, named Yiwu. Instrument, refers to the size of the person's bureau. Small, for example, small family. Guan Zhongxiang Qi Huan Duke, Jiuhe Princes, Yi Kuang Tianxia. At that time, everyone thought that it was a great achievement, but out of power and utilitarian selfishness, not from the way of the sage university. Therefore, Confucius sneered: "Although Guan Zhong has made great achievements, he is a man, the amount of the bureau is shallow, the scale is narrow, there is no atmosphere of zhengda and light, and his instrument is not small!" Cover deep reproach words also.
Sangui is the name of the station. Photographic words, interpreted as a combination of words. Confucius took Guan Zhong as a small instrument, or people did not know and doubted: "I have heard that those who are thrifty are stingy in everything, but they look like small instruments." The Master takes Guan Zhong as a small instrument, and must he be frugal? Confucius replied, "Mere frugality will be able to exercise restraint." Nowadays, Guan Zhongzhu built the platform of the Three Returns, thinking that it was a place to travel and see, and the cost of its development could be known. And there are many officials and subordinates, so that each person can govern one thing at a time, and do not take care of each other at the same time, and the redundancy of his deeds can be known, and how can it be said to be frugal in his deeds? The husband is small and loses everything. ”
A prince of a state is a prince of a kingdom. The tree is the door screen. Plug, is obscured. Well, it's a banquet. Crucible, is the case of putting a wine glass. Whoever offers his drink will place the wine glass here, so it is called the reverse of the cup. Confucius denounced Guan Zhong as a non-frugal. Or the man did not know and doubted, and said: "I have heard that the person who knows the etiquette, who is prepared in everything, refuses to be simple, but seems to be extravagant, but he is not thrifty, and he must not know the etiquette!" Confucius replied, "Etiquette is greater than fame, no division is greater than a monarch, and no one who is arrogant is also." And if there are princes of the kingdom, they must set up a screen at the door to cover the inside and outside. It is not appropriate for doctors. The Imabari clan also set up a screen in the door to hide inside and outside. Like the monarch, his tyranny is also one. The princes feasted for the two countries, and at that time they offered their rewards and had the anti-lord's pass. Those who are not suitable for doctors, the Jinguan clan also has an anti-knight's crucible. Like the state king, its tyranny is also two. Such tyrants are by no means those who know the manners. If it is said that the Guan clan knows the etiquette, then who is the person in the world who does not know the etiquette? "The size of the instrument that covers people is not the breadth of the action. Dayu is evil and does not harm and is holy. Zhou Gong's wealth is not sick and extravagant. Or if a person is thrifty in his smallness and a gift in his or her unfaithfulness, the more confused his heart becomes, and the farther he loses. However, Confucius did not even explicitly state the meaning of the small instrument, or is it not shallow enough to speak of this?
Zi Yue: "Guan Zhong's instrument Xiao Ya! ”
Confucius said that the pipe bureau is small!
This sentence seems to be Confucius's conclusion on the pipe - the instrument is small! So is Confucius taking a negative attitude towards pipes?
No. He also commented: "Guan Zhongxiang Huan Gong, the overlord of the princes, a kuang of the world, the people have been blessed by him to this day." Microtubule Zhong, I was sent to the left. "The people are still blessed with the grace of Guan Zhong to this day. Without Guan Zhong, we would all become barbarians.
It is haired to the left, it is a shawl, and the placket is to the left, which is a barbarian. The Chinese civilized people are tied to the right, the hair is tied up, and the placket is to the right.
Therefore, Confucius was very admiring of guanzi, and it can also be said that he was very envious of guanzi, because guanzi got the opportunity he dreamed of ruling the country and the world, and guanzi made great achievements. But the tube is still not big enough!
Who is not bigger than that? Compared with Zhou Gong, it is not big enough.
What is the instrument of the tube? It is to engage in the economy. Guan Zi is a great economist, and a great prime minister, a rich country, a footed people, a strong army, he has done it. "Cangmiao is honest and knows etiquette, and has enough food and clothing to know honor and disgrace", this is what the pipe said.
The greatness of the pipe lies in his love for the people and let everyone live a good life. Unlike the Dharma, he drives the people as beasts, wants the country to be rich and the people are poor, and wants the people to be poor, so that they can be easily driven.
The pipe is to make everyone in the country rich, and not to use swords and soldiers to fight trade wars. That's all, don't say Confucius, to this day China has not produced a prime minister who has surpassed him. And Keynesian economic policy, the pipe has long been in sight, and it has been done.
Because he only has economic strategy and no political theory, his career stops here, and he does not "open up peace for the world" and create a new political ethic and etiquette. This is what Confucius wanted to do, he thought that the pipe was so wise and had such a good opportunity, laid such a good foundation, but it was a little worse in the instrument, unfortunately! What a pity!
"Guan Zhong's instrument Xiao Ya!" When Confucius said this, he was stomping his feet on the pipe; he was also sorry for the Chinese nation; and he was also lamenting for himself that I didn't have the opportunity for him!
Or: "Guan Zhongjian?" "Guan Clan has three returns, official affairs are not taken, and they are thrifty?" ”
When a classmate heard Confucius's argument, he asked, "Is Guan Zhong frugal?" ”
Confucius lamented that the object was wrong, there was no opponent to talk to, the "or" of this "or", the name was not left, it is estimated that it belongs to the poor student, and his question is too stupid. He understood the small instrument as stinginess and asked the teacher if he said that the pipe was very small and he was reluctant to spend money.
Why is this a stupid question, because Guan Zhong is a famous extravagant and extravagant, the grandfather of luxury, and theoretically advocates luxury. In the book "Pipe", there is a special article "Luxury", which is the luxury theory of the pipe. The pipe said that the rich must be luxurious, the rich must be luxurious, and the poor can make money! Wealth is redistributed. Therefore, he put forward the famous "theory of carving firewood and painting eggs", saying that when a rich family burns firewood, it is best to carve flowers and then burn them, and the rich people boil eggs, and it is best to paint and then cook. So that the poor can come and carve wood and paint eggs to earn money! Encouraging consumption and stimulating domestic demand, the pipe has long understood, and it has done a lot of great things in this way.
So the classmate asked if the pipe was frugal, and the question was ridiculous.
Confucius knew that he did not understand and did not understand, so he still answered his question: "The Guan clan has three returns, and the official affairs are not taken, so they are thrifty?" ”
The pipe built the Platform of Three Returns, and the mansion compound of three places to visit. "Official affairs do not take pictures", there are many official subordinates, each person only cares about one thing, there is no concurrent shooting. Or that the management service staff of these three returns have their own full-time, they are not moving, not a group of people, wherever he goes, where the service follows. This is the luxury of the pipe, how can he be frugal?
"But then Guan Zhongzhi Lihu?" "The Bangjun tree plugs the door, and the Guan clan also has the tree saimen; the Bangjun is the good of the two kings, and there is a regurgitation, and the Guan clan also has a regurgitation." Guan Clan knows etiquette, but who does not know etiquette? ”
Another classmate asked, "Does the pipe know the etiquette?" ”
This is also a question of non-questioning. However, Confucius still answered the question:
The king's courtyard repairs the wall, and Guan Zhong also repairs the wall, which is trespassing. The banquets of the princes were paid with diàn (anti-tuo), which was a special equipment for the monarch to put wine, and Guan Zhong also used it, or it was trespassed. If guan Zhongzhili is said, who does not know the etiquette?
Guan Zhong does not care much about these things, he is a master of governing the country and managing money, governing the country is like opening a company, not only through tax policies and stimulating domestic demand to invigorate private enterprises, but also to engage in state-owned enterprises and monopolize salt and iron. He also did one thing, which was to open a state-run brothel. Therefore, the brothels of all generations have regarded Guan Zi as the master of the opening.
Confucius talked about the pipe, this time no one handed over the right question, so it was not discussed thoroughly. There is also the theory of the pipe after the Analects.
