author:Dreams become pulpits

Chapter 1: Wei Linggong asks Confucius about the method of the army. Confucius replied, "I have heard about ritual sacrifices; I have never learned about fighting with soldiers." The next day, Confucius left Weiguo.

Chapter 2: (Confucius and his party) There was no grain in the Chen Kingdom, and the people in his entourage were hungry and sick. Zi Lu was very unhappy to see Confucius and said, "Is there a time when a gentleman is too poor to do anything?" Confucius said, "Although a gentleman is poor, he still persists; when a villain is poor, he does everything." ”

Chapter 3: Confucius says, "O give! Do you think I learned a lot before I remembered them all? Zigong replied, "Yeah, isn't that the case?" Confucius said, "No. I've carried them through with a fundamental thing. ”

Chapter 4: Confucius said, "O Zhongyu! Too few people understand morality. ”

Chapter 5: Confucius said, "Probably the only person who can rule the world by doing nothing is Shun, right?" What did he do? Just sit solemnly and upright on the throne of the imperial court. ”

Chapter 6: Zi Zhang asks how to make himself feasible everywhere. Confucius said, "Be faithful in your words and act with reverence, even in the barbarian areas, you can do it." If you are unfaithful in your words and disrespectful in your deeds, can you do it in your native country? Standing, it is as if you see the words faithful and respectful appear in front of you, sitting in a car, as if seeing these words carved on the horizontal wood in front of the rut, so that you can make it work everywhere. Zi Zhang wrote these words on the large belt around his waist.

Chapter 7: Confucius said, "Shi Yu is really upright! The country has a way, and his words and deeds are as straight as an arrow; the country has no way, and his words and deeds are as straight as arrows. Yu Boyu is really a gentleman! If the state has a way, it will come out as an official, and if the state has no way (dismiss from an official position), it will collect its own ideas in its heart.

Chapter 8: Confucius said, "If you can talk to him, but you don't talk to him, you lose your friend; if you can't talk to him, but talk to him, you are saying the wrong thing." Wise people neither lose friends nor say the wrong thing. ”

Chapter 9: Confucius said, "There is no one who is greedy for life and afraid of death and harms benevolence, but only who sacrifices his life to fulfill benevolence." ”

Chapter 10: Zigong asks how to practice benevolence. Confucius said, "If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools." To live in this country is to serve the sages of the doctors and to make friends with the benevolent of the scholars. ”

Chapter 11: Yan Yuan asks how to govern the country. Confucius said: "Using the calendar of the Xia Dynasty, riding on the car of the Yin Dynasty, wearing the top hat of the Zhou Dynasty, playing the music of "Shao", forbidding Zheng Guo's music, alienating people who can speak eloquently, Zheng Guo's music is pompous and improper, and it is too dangerous to pretend." ”

Chapter 12: Confucius said, "If man does not have a long-term consideration, he will certainly have immediate troubles." ”

Chapter 13: Confucius said, "It is over, I have never seen anyone as virtuous as lustful." ”

Chapter 14: Confucius said, "Zang Wenzhong is a man who steals official positions!" He knew that Yanagishita was a wise man, but he did not recommend him to join him as an official. ”
