Lu Xun, who likes to find the trajectory of the causal connection of things
In the article "From the Feet of Chinese Women, It is Presumed that Chinese is not moderate, and it is also inferred that Confucius has a stomach disease", according to Confucius's remarks, "It is presumed that Confucius had a stomach disease in his later years." 'Cut is not right, do not eat', this is his old husband's old rule, but the 'food is not tired of fine, not tired of fine' rule is a little strange. He was not a millionaire or a writer who could collect many royalties, and he thought that there was no solution to such a luxury than for hygiene and for easy digestion. Moreover, 'do not withdraw ginger food', and simply can not save the stomach warming medicine. Why be so generous to the stomach and obsess over it? It is also because of its stomach disease. ”
And Confucius's stomach disease was caused by traveling around the world: "At that time, Citi white noodles had not yet been imported, and the soil was ground wheat flour, which contained more gray sand, so the weight was heavier than today; the national highway had not yet been built, and the mud roads were very bumpy, if Confucius was willing to go, it was not important, and unfortunately he had a cart and two horses." With heavy pasta in his stomach, he sat in the car and walked on the road of seven highs and eight lows, one upside down, one flip and one fall, the stomach was dropped up, the digestion was reduced, and it was painful from time to time; every meal had to eat ginger. So the name of the disease should be 'gastric dilation'. At that time, it was his old age, about ten years after King Jing of Zhou. ”

It seems to be ridiculing, but in fact, Lu Xun is very serious. Although the era of Confucius's existence is far away, but the way of life and thinking of Chinese has not changed much, confucius left a statement we not only understand at a glance, but also has always been a guideline, so his own speech and its logic are enough for people to restore their human appearance.
Presumably, when Lu Xun wrote this article, he only presumed the origin of Confucius's stomach disease, and did not intend to presume the growth logic of Confucius's entire life, especially how he grew into a thinker. He left the work to me, so I'll try it.
Speaking of this "俺" character, it was originally the self-designation of the natives in Shandong, Henan, lu xun as a Zhejiang person should not have used this self-designation, but he used this expression in the "Book of Two Places" and "harmful horses" (that is, the black sheep, Guangping brother dedicated to chatting with Lu Xun on WeChat) when gossiping, many netizens today like to call themselves "Li", which may be a precedent from Lu Xun.

The reason why Confucius had the opportunity to become a thinker and a political thinker must have its own unique reasons and a unique entry point. What is it? Look at the record of the Analects: Zi Yue: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise, and those who are near are not grandchildren, and those who are far away are resentful." (Yang Bojun translated: "Only women and villains are rare to coexist with them, and if they are close, they will be rude; if they are estranged, they will be resentful.") From this sentence, can we also deduce something? Think about it, how did he know that women are "difficult to raise"? Confucius was a married man, and of course his conclusion should be related to his wife! Although Mr. Confucius's knowledge and knowledge of women may also be related to his interactions with other women, it is undoubtedly mainly the product of his wife's "education"!
The earlier Confucius expert Sima Qian wrote a famous work entitled "The Family of Confucius", which did not mention when and where Confucius married whom, but mentioned the zikong carp, but did not mention the name of Confucius's wife. In the analects, it is also mentioned that he married his daughter to Gongyechang. The "Confucius Family Language" that is said to be contained in the "Book of Han and Yiwen Zhi" is recorded: "To the nineteenth, married to the Song ZhiGuan clan, one year old and gave birth to Boyu, the birth of the fish, Lu Zhaogong gave Confucius a carp, Rongjun Zhizhao, so because of the name of the carp, and the word Boyu, fish year fifty, the first Confucius pawn." However, this book was written early, and the existing manuscript is suspected to have been written by later generations under the pretense of Confucius's family and disciples, and it is not reliable. Of course, we only need to confirm that Confucius did have a wife, and it may not be so important who this person is, whether he is a qiguan or not, although we will ask her to assume the historical responsibility of letting Confucius make such a general conclusion about women; she may not know what the consequences of her actions have caused, but we know - we "presume" that this qiguan clan is probably the earliest "difficult to raise", neither near nor far women!
Stills of Madame Confucius, played by Zhang Kaili
Due to the early death of his parents (his father died when he was 1 year old, and his mother died around the age of 15), Confucius took on the responsibility of supporting the family early, and for a period of time after marriage, he worked during the day and read at night, showing the momentum of becoming a good husband and a good father. As a result, his learning continued to grow, but the home life soon came to an end. About the "seven-year itch" he started running around. His biographer called it a study tour, and then simply traveled around the world, known in history as "traveling around the world".
People have always believed in good faith that Confucius went out to find opportunities to become officials and implement his political ideas, but is this true? Confucius was by nature a quiet scholar who liked to think and was keen to study, and if his wife was a gentle and virtuous woman he loved, he would have become a home otaku. At the same time, Confucius was also an amorous man with the potential to indulge in the gentle countryside. According to Sima Qian's "Confucius Family", when Confucius was 56 years old, he was the contemporary prime minister of the State of Lu, and because of his unsatisfactory work, he left his post and ran to Weiguo, where he stayed for a while, causing a peach-colored incident that caused a sensation in Chinese history - he was tempted by Sister Nanzi. She called herself "WidowEd King", which the Analects say is a self-designation that the monarch's wife used to speak to foreigners, meaning "I'm the Queen". The two of them dated alone once, not knowing what to do, anyway, Confucius's student Zilu couldn't look at it anymore, and he was very unhappy to mutter. Confucius angrily stated his position, saying: "Give what you don't, and heaven will hate it!" Heaven forbid! ("If I and Miss Nanzi did something unseemly, it would be called Lei Split Li!") It's called Thunderclap! However, he famously concluded from this: "I have not seen a virtuous person like a lustful person!" Confucius believed that between beauty and virtue men would prefer beauty.
Confucius admitted that lust is a human instinct, which is somewhat of a manifestation, but he still traveled around the world in the name of good morality. Obviously, there is a reason for this: it must be because the woman in the family is clingy and clingy, and she is tired and crooked all day long, so that Confucius cannot live in peace, in a word, "near is not inferior"; and after Confucius went out for a while, he must have wanted to go back to see her out of his thoughts, who knew that she called, texted, QQ messages, and sent WeChat, all of which were accusations and insults, in a word: "Far away is resentment"!
alack! How nice it would be if qi guanshi were married to an ordinary person, not a very intelligent person like Confucius! It's him! He was thus trained to be a political thinker! He rose not only from his wife to the woman, but also to the man who was called "little people", grouped them into one category, and then made a top-level design, put forward a whole set of philosophical ideas and political propositions, called "etiquette", and also "leisurely everything, only for the big, self-denial and retribution." "Etiquette" is the rule, and the rule is to manage the villain, and the villain is the woman and man who is difficult to raise like his wife! Confucius's wife was such a difficult woman that Confucius could not settle down at home, so that he had to go out and run; and there must be a little reason to go out to run; then sell his philosophical and political ideas!
Also, Confucius was also an educator! He was absolutely not willing to be tossed around all his life, and he was absolutely unwilling to let a woman like his wife harm the masses of the people; the worse thing was that he not only attached great importance to regulating people's behavior with a social and political system, but also attached great importance to propaganda and education work, personally toured the lectures and made reports, and passed on his set of absurd theoretical fallacies to his large group of brainless students! The Analects records a passage from Zi Xia: "The wise and the wise change of color; If I have not learned, I will call it learning. (Meaning: "To the wife, heavy on virtue, not on appearance; ... Even if such a person is not highly educated, I must say that he is learned. Yes, he had "studied", of course with his teacher! Perhaps Confucius himself did not expect that his theory of benevolence and morality, but actually complaining about his wife, had attracted a large number of "fans", and even came up with a "ritual religion" of "cannibalism", and it had become the basic political concept of ancient China, which had been used to govern our Chinese society for thousands of years...
Confucius and Nanzi had a good chat.
Sad! If Madame Confucius were a woman with a demeanor, temperament, and depth better than Miss Nanzi's sister, would he be so homeless? Even if he went out for his career, he would at least take the Spring Festival home for the New Year, but Confucius did not want to go home, and came to the conclusion that "only women ... It is difficult to raise also, the near is not grandchildren, and the far is complaining" may offend the full name judgment of a considerable number of women who do not have the vices of "resentment" and "inferiority"! If Mrs. Confucius was a woman with demeanor, temperament, and depth that was better than Miss Nanzi's sister, if there was a woman like Miss Nanzi's sister to nourish his soul, would he still look at women and the men he didn't like so darkly as "little people"? Would he still have such a rotten outlook on life, values, worldviews, and political ideas?
Yes, if Confucius had married a white and rich beauty like Nanzi, ah, he would have taken his beloved woman and students with him, "bathing in Yi, dancing in the wind, and returning from the song", and living a happy and stable life! If he hadn't met the woman he liked until he was nearly sixty years old, if Nanzi wasn't a married woman, then at least he wouldn't have run around like a lost dog, right? Maybe at least he wouldn't have suffered from a nasty stomach disease because of years of running and toiling, eating irregularly, and always eating that spicy ginger?
However, it is also quite strange to say: Socrates, who is in the position of the ancestor in the history of Western culture, was also created by a fierce wife! Almost every day, his wife poured a basin of dirty water on his head and drove him to the street; he stopped pedestrians in the street and pulled calves, and finally he pulled himself into a philosopher who led the trend of Western thought. It turns out that the fate of human beings in the East and the West is the same!
Socrates
Of course, the fate of Chinese and Westerners is still different: Confucius in China encountered a difficult wife who first considered the problem of finding a wife, pushing the responsibility on his wife and accusing her of being "difficult to support" or something, while Socrates, on the contrary, first looked for his own shortcomings and mistakes, and he went out to reason with others and asked to "know yourself" - look! Although both Chinese and Western cultures originated from evil wives, Socrates created a culture of repentance that reflected on the self, and Confucius drummed up the moral supremacy of the whole person!
People say how important Confucius was in history, but people often ignore the source of his ideas. The wife of a great thinker and philosopher is so important! Yes, perhaps Confucius's way of thinking was like that of Socrates, or if we, the presumptionists, had the same orientation as Socrates, we might as well blame Confucius's wife and blame Confucius himself. However, you must know that I am also a Chinese cultivated by Confucius's way of thinking, and I have long been accustomed to pushing out responsibility as soon as I encounter contradictions, so I still want to emphatically point out: If Madame Confucius was not the Qiguan clan, what would Chinese history look like?!
