Confucius said this twice in the Analects, what is so important? Because this sentence has an absolute relationship between the development of the country and the prosperity of the cause. For the governance of a country and the use of talents, the phrase "straighten out the wrongs and do all wrongs" is very important, so Confucius said it twice in the Analects.
First time:
Fan Chi asked Ren. Zi Yue: "Lover." ”
Ask. Zi Yue: "Know people." ”
Fan was late.
Zi Yue: "Straightening out the wrongdoers can make the wrongdoers straight." ”
Fan Chi asked what is Ren?
Confucius said that to be able to love those around you is benevolence.
Fan Chi asked again what wisdom was. Confucius said that to be able to understand man is wisdom.
But Fan Chi did not understand, so Confucius further explained:
"Straightening out the wrongdoers can make the wrongdoers straight."
"Lifting" means promoting, and "lifting straight" means promoting people who are upright, loyal, and talented.
Suppose a leader can promote the righteous and set aside the evil ones first.
In this way, it is very likely that the original evil person will also become a straight person.
In other words, it can also make bad people become good people.
When the use of people has reached such a clever time,
Good people and bad people can be used by the country and the people.
What about the second time?
The Duke of Sorrow asked, "What is the people's service?" ”
Confucius said: If you straighten out the wrongdoers, then the people will obey.
If they make mistakes, the people will not obey.
The Duke of Ai was Confucius's monarch Lu Aigong.
The Wai Gong asked, "How can I make the people obey my leadership?" "The kind that makes people convinced!
Confucius replied gently:
"If you straighten out the wrongs, then the people will serve", and the mistakes of "wrongs" can be understood as the meaning of "measures".
It is to put down the arrogant and unscrupulous, so that the common people will naturally obey.
On the contrary, "the wrongs are straight",
Promote the arrogant, or nepotism,
And if people with virtue and ability are released and not used, the people will naturally disobey.
Confucius twice mentioned "straight mistakes and wrongs", the so-called ancient learning from the present, China from ancient times has paid attention to the importance of leaders and employing people, the so-called upward and downward effects, close to Zhu Zhichi, if we work and live in the environment, people with rights and people who serve the public are upright, talented people, and loyal to the people, serve the people, once a good social atmosphere is formed, most people will work in a sunny and positive direction, including people with original negative energy will also be correctly guided, thus forming an upward synergy.
