The Analects is one of the most important confucian classics and is a collection of sayings by Confucius and his disciples. For more than two thousand years, the reason why the Analects have endured for a long time lies in its sense of reality, its bluntness, its laughter and anger, its undisguised, no flowery rhetoric, no hypocritical contrivance, what to say, what to say, not hidden, daring to express its chest and speak freely. Today, I would like to share 10 famous quotes with you in order to play a role in throwing bricks and stones.
First, clever words, fresh and benevolent. - The Analects. Learning first》
Testimonials: "Clever words" are not good words, they are opportunistic and good at rhetoric; "making color" is to please others with appearance. These are all with a strong purpose, not out of nature, and such clever people, who lack benevolence or morality, are often mercenary villains.
Second, be cautious and pursue the distant future, and the people's morality will return to the thick. - The Analects. Learning first》
Testimonials: Filial piety comes first, and all thick virtues come from filial piety. To be cautious in pursuing the distant future is not to forget the original, to sacrifice the parents, grandparents, and ancestors who have passed away, if they cannot be sincere and respectful, how can we talk about the simplicity of the people's customs? And how can we achieve a thick moral carrier?
III. Three hundred poems, in a word, say: "Thinking is innocent." ---The Analects. For the second place
Testimonial: The three hundred poems of the Book of Poetry, summed up in one sentence, is to think innocently. What do you mean? That is to say, the original meaning of these three hundred poems does not have any false and evil thoughts. There is no pretense, it is all a natural outpouring of truth.
Fourth, the son said: "A gentleman is not a gentleman." ---The Analects. For the second place
Testimonials: A gentleman should not be limited to one function like an instrument, no matter how big or small, as long as it is something that benefits all sentient beings, he should do his best. In terms of study, we should not limit ourselves with instruments, but should be knowledgeable and determined to be on the Tao above the instruments.
Fifth, Zigong asked the gentleman. Zi Yue: "Go first and follow it." ---The Analects. For the second place
Testimonials: What is a gentleman? What Confucius said is that words and deeds match, that is, first do it and then say it. When we reflect on ourselves, we often talk more and do less, and we all talk and don't practice.
6. Sacrifice it not to his ghost, but to him, but to do it, and not to do it, and not to have courage. - The Analects. For the second place
Testimonials: In the folk, people will become ghosts when they die, and the ghosts here refer to the ancestors of the ancestors. In order to repay the kindness of the ancestors, it is natural to sacrifice sincerely. But if it is not your own ancestors, you still go to sacrifice, that is flattery, that is, flattery.
When you encounter something that is moral and should be done, but you don't do it, it is a manifestation of lack of courage. These two things, one that should not have been done but did, and one that should have done but did not, are not right.
Seventh, do not say what is done, do not advise on the matter, and do not blame the past. - The Analects. Eight 3rd
Testimonials: Don't say anything that has become a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed; raw rice has been cooked, and it is too late, so don't make any more suggestions; since the matter has come out and cannot be recovered, then don't hold anyone responsible.
Viii. When you hear the Word, you can die at night. - The Analects. Li Ren IV
Testimonials: The ancients did learning, no matter which school or school, the highest pursuit is the Ming Dao and the Tao, but there are many people who pursue the Tao, but the real Tao is rare. For us ordinary people, not only is it difficult to attain the Tao, but it is also difficult to be able to hear the Tao by chance, so even if we die at dawn, it is not worth it.
9. A gentleman is a righteous man, and a villain is a profit. - The Analects. Li Ren IV
Testimonials: The most obvious difference between a gentleman and a villain is a heavy righteousness and a heavy profit. But a gentleman knows justice, everything is morally important, and personal interests are placed second. The villain knows his own interests, whether it is moral or not, he will do everything that is good for himself.
10. Parents are here, not far away, and there will be a good way to travel. - The Analects. Li Ren IV
Testimonials: It is the common sentiment of people that parents care about their children. Trying not to let parents worry about themselves is the filial piety of their children. Therefore, when the parents are alive, the children cannot be separated from each other for no reason. If there is something legitimate that must be kept away, it is necessary to settle down with the parents and report their whereabouts to the parents at any time, so that they do not worry about themselves.
