1.9 Zeng Zi said: "Cautiously pursue the far away, and the people's morality will return to the thick." ”
Zeng Zi said: "Carefully handle the funeral of parents, sincerely pursue the ancestors of the past, and the hearts of the people will return to loyalty." ”
Note: Final: (parents) end of life, funeral. Chase: recall, remembrance, remembrance, remembrance, retribution. FAR: Distant ancestors. Return is return, return. People's hearts are thick, so they say "return." Virtue is the human heart -- in the heart is virtue, giving is action; straight heart is virtue, virtue is also written as "worry"; straight heart is virtue, virtue is left "彳" right "惪".
Experience: Cautiously pursue the far away, and say that some filial piety that can go beyond one's own family funeral and ancestor worship can be extended to enterprises, communities, nations, countries, and even the great filial piety and love of mankind. As the Book of Rites and Fortunes says, "The old man is old and the man is old; the young man is young, and the young man is young." ”
4.15 Zi Yue: "Shēn Hu! My way has always been consistent. Zeng Ziyi: "Only." The son came out, and the doorman asked, "What is it?" Zeng Zi said, "The way of the Master, loyalty and forgiveness are enough!" ”
Confucius said, "Sam, my Tao is connected by 'one'. Zeng Zi replied, "Oh. Confucius left, and the other disciples asked Zengzi, "What do you mean?" Zeng Zi said, "His old man's word is loyalty and forgiveness, nothing else." ”
Note: See (shēn). Only, a mouth, a falcon, means an urgent affirmative answer, equivalent to "yes", "oh", yes. Faithfulness: The center is faithful, and the heart is forgiveness. The center is not biased, the impartial is just, the justice is the right heart, the heart is right, the heart is the middle way, is the center. The same is true for others, and the human heart is like my heart, which is forgiveness. The disciple is also a disciple, or a disciple of a disciple. If it is the latter, then the so-called disciples here are Zengzi's disciples.
Heart like ▼ like heart
Experience: Judging from the literary tone, this is Confucius raising his finger to ZengZi, and Zengzi immediately rolled up his sleeve and let the teacher press it. When he pressed it, ZengZi was still very comfortable with a "hmm" sound. The heart understands, the heart is tacit, and the heart has a sharp mind. It seems to be a dumb puzzle, outsiders can't guess. Unable to guess and curious, when Confucius left, he went to ask Zengzi. Zeng Zi didn't have anything to say, but it was not good not to say, so he repeated the way of loyalty and forgiveness that Confucius usually talked about, saying: "It is loyalty and forgiveness, nothing else." ”
What is the meaning of Confucius? Only Zengzi knew. To tell a joke, Confucius lectures, is to see people talk, consumers are God, consumers like to talk about what they want, students send as much bacon, how many lectures, cut the door very much. This joke is the meaning of teaching according to the aptitude: "Above the middle person, you can also speak; below the middle person, you can't say it." "It's too deep to understand, so don't say it early." Teach a doctoral course to kindergarten, no.
The Transmission of the Heart Method cannot even speak without speaking, nor can it say, "The Tao is dao, the very tao." ”
Master Lotus Said: This is Confucius instructing ZengZi to do the next kung fu, and it is not a confirmation.
The way of the Master may be the loyalty and forgiveness that everyone listens to everyone on a daily basis, but what Zeng Zi understands in his heart is not the literal meaning of "loyalty and forgiveness". Otherwise, Confucius did not explicitly say, why did Zeng Zi receive the teachings at the moment and come out with the Tao? In connection with confucius's saying in the Book of Rites and The Middle Way, "loyalty and forgiveness are not far away", probably the way of the master is not necessarily "loyalty and forgiveness".
Hu Juren of the Ming Dynasty wrote "Yi Xiang Qian", saying: "My way is consistent" That one refers to dry. Why? Because Qiankun is the door of Yi, the sixty-two gua are all changed by Qiankun; and the Kun gua is changed by qian gua.
However, Confucius wrote "Zhou Yi Zhi Ci", saying that "easy to have tai chi is to give birth to two instruments". These two instruments are yin and yang, yin is kun gua, and yang is qiangua. Yin and yang come out, stand tall, open up the world, and stand side by side at the same time. For example, Lao Tzu said that existence and non-existence came out at the same time: "Yes, the beginning of the famous heavens and the earth; nothing, the mother of all things... The two are the same name and the same name, the same name is xuan. ”
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty Lai Zhide's "Zhou Yi Collection Notes" quotes the "Zhou Yi" as saying: "'The movement of the world, the zhenfu one is also.'" ’...... Chastity, Masaya. The sage's "I Ching" is beneficial to the right... The Taoist, the righteousness of the heavens and the earth, the sun and the moon, that is, Tai Chi; one, no desire. No desire is just fine. Confucius 'Zushu Yao Shun' person, ZuShu, its essence also. Therefore, it is said: 'My way has always been consistent.' He also said, "Therefore the one who does it, one also." He also said, "The movement of the world, the one who is the one who moves the world." The word 'three' and 'one' are the same. After Confucius died, Confucians did not know the meaning of the word 'one', and Duzhou Suixi alone knew it. ”
One is no desire, that is, righteousness, chastity, and tai chi. This is similar to Lao Tzu's "unity of holding simplicity". Confucius's Zhou Yi Zhi Ci said: "Zi Yue: What is the world thinking and worrying? The world is the same and the same way, consistent and full of worries. What is the world thinking? The So-called "Non-Dual Method" of the Buddhists and the so-called "If it is not two things, then its biological unforeseen" is consistent.
8.3 Zeng Zi had a disease, and summoned his disciples to say, "Qi Yu Foot! Hands on! "Poetry" cloud: "Trembling, like approaching the abyss, like walking on thin ice." And now and then, I know what to do! brat! ”
After Zeng Zi fell ill, he summoned the doorman and said, "Look at my feet!" Look at my hands! The poem says: 'Trembling is like approaching the abyss, like walking on thin ice.' From now on, my body will not be hurt! youngster! ”
Trial note: ▲ Disciple refers to the disciple and disciple of Zengzi. ▲ Open, open, open to see, let the disciples lift the quilt to see if their bodies are intact. ▲ Exemption, exemption from disaster, means that the body will not be damaged or injured.
Experience: The verse quoted by Zeng Zi, in the "Book of Poetry, Xiao Ya Xiao Min", ends like this: "Don't dare to storm the tiger, don't dare Feng He." People know one, but they don't know the other. Trembling, like approaching the abyss, like walking on thin ice. This means that you don't dare to fight the tiger with your bare hands, and you don't dare to jump across the river with two feet. People usually only look at one side and cannot see the other side. So tremble like you are near an abyss, like stepping on thin ice.
Zeng Zi wrote the Book of Filial Piety, which begins by quoting Confucius:
"The skin of the body, the parents of the body, do not dare to destroy, the beginning of filial piety." Stand on the path of walking, make a name for yourself in the hereafter, show your parents, and end up filial piety. Husband filial piety begins with relatives, in the matter of the king, and finally stands up. Daya Yun: 'No Nian Erzu, Nie Xiu Shu De. "No thought is a thought, and the Chinese language is very strange." No-mind Erzu..." It means: Remember your ancestors well, cultivate virtue well.
Zeng Zi was sick to the point of death, probably lying on the bed, letting the disciples open the quilt to see that their hands and feet were intact, their bodies were intact everywhere, and their filial piety was not lost, and they would not lose again in the future. "I know that I am free of husbands", because I am about to say goodbye to the world, I can now sum up: this body, its hair and body skin, are all born of my parents, I am well protected, did not let it be hurt, this is the first step of filial piety. a good beginning makes a good ending, and the good beginer ends well. Bad beginning makes a bad ending, and the bad beginning is not a good ending.
When it comes to how princes should be filial, the Book of Filial Piety also quotes the Book of Poetry:
"Not arrogant in the upper, high but not dangerous, restrained and prudent, full but not overflowing." High but not dangerous, so long to keep expensive; full but not overflowing, so long to keep rich. The rich and the noble do not leave their bodies, and then they can protect their society and their people. Filial piety of the princes. "Poetry" cloud: "Trembling, like approaching the abyss, like walking on thin ice." ’”
Full without overflowing Can it?
Full without overflowing Is it possible
Zeng Zi was cautious all his life, reflecting every day: "For others and not loyal? Friends and not convinced? Can't get used to it? "It is indeed like being on the verge of an abyss.
