Is it "the wise enjoy water and the benevolent enjoy Leshan" or "the wise enjoy water and the benevolent enjoy Leshan"? Be sure to explain why!

It is neither Leshan, a wise man who enjoys water and benevolence, nor Leshan, a wise man who enjoys water and benevolence! But "the knower is happy, water; The benevolent is happy, and the mountain is also. "

Speaking of these two sentences, many people know. Looking up the explanation of these two sentences on the internet is almost a sentence: the wise are like water, and the benevolent are like mountains. In ancient times, knowledge, wisdom and fallacy, so these two sentences are actually one sentence. However, none of them are right! !

Before reading the Analects of Confucius, I never seriously thought about these two sentences, but occasionally I felt strange: mountains and rivers have their own characteristics. Why do wise men insist on love the water and benevolent people insist on loving mountains? People who love mountains are not wise, but people in love the water are heartless? What if you love scenery?

It was not until I read the story of Master nan huaijin in The Analects of Confucius that I realized that we were all fooled!

So, what did Heather say? Dare not take all, willing to encourage with you:

Not between mountains and rivers

So what is true wisdom? What is true love?

Confucius said: those who know are happy, water; The benevolent is happy, the mountain. The knower moves; Ren Jing. Happy are those who know; Benevolent people live long.

In these words, most people say that "the knower enjoys water", which means that smart people like water because it is flowing. "The benevolent Leshan" means that the benevolent likes mountains. If you explain it this way, the problem will be big. To paraphrase Zhuangzi, "the knower enjoys water", so eels, loaches, yellow croaker and soft-shelled turtles all like water. Smart? "benevolent Leshan", so monkeys, tigers and lions are all kind? This explanation is wrong. The correct explanation is "knowledge is fun, water." The happiness of the knower, like water, is carefree and serene, and it will always be lively and splashing. "The benevolent is happy, and the mountain is also." The happiness of the benevolent is like a mountain, lofty, great and quiet. This is a natural truth, and I have no intention of explaining it.

Why didn't I do it on purpose? As can be seen from the following, he said that the happiness of the knower is dynamic, like water. The happiness of the benevolent is static, like a mountain. Isn't that clear? It is wrong to say that "the knower enjoys water" likes water and "the benevolent Leshan likes mountains" only out of context. Some people's knowledge and accomplishment are fresh, while most wise people live on the hillside. The so-called "Yang Liuan, the breeze is fading" and "the Yangtze River flows eastward" are such verve and tolerance. Most kind people are deep and quiet. Therefore, the following conclusions are drawn: "those who know are happy", those who know are happy, and their outlook on life and interests are various; "Benevolent people live long", quiet and educated people are less likely to lose their temper and are impulsive. They look at things calmly, get it hard first, and live longer. This means linking up, so don't follow the ancient explanation: smart people must like water, and kind people must like mountains. This is a big problem.

There are no funny sentences in ancient Chinese. When the punctuation of the same sentence changes, the meaning often changes. I don't know which "master" made punctuation mistakes when, so that up to now, many people still suffer from them. Now, is it time to realize something?

There are many misunderstandings caused by funny sentences, such as the well-known joke between the innkeeper and the guests:

One day, a guest was dining in an inn. This guest seems to be mute. The boss asked him what he was eating. He asked the boss for a pen and ink and wrote, "You can do without meat and fish or ducks and chickens." No punctuation marks. The boss looked at it. Oh, "You can skip meat and fish; You can do without ducks and chickens. "So vegetarian. So, a vegetarian meal was prepared for the guests. The guest was shocked when he saw it. What he originally meant was that I didn't ask much: "fish can do without meat;" Chickens can do without ducks. "But now that it's served, I have to put up with it.

It happened that he had just finished eating, and it rained heavily, so the guests had to stay overnight. So, I wrote ten words on the paper: "Stay with me in rainy days." Then give it to the innkeeper. The boss took a look. Without saying anything, he picked up a pen and put a question mark behind ten words. When the guest saw it, he also picked up a pen and ordered ten words: "If it rains, stay for one day, will you stay for me?" The boss smiled, picked up the pen again, erased the punctuation marks of the guests and lit them again: "If it rains, I will stay!" " Seeing that he was in a hurry, the guest quickly picked up the pen and ordered it again: "If it rains, stay for one day, will you stay for me?" Stay. ! ! "When the boss saw it, the guests were really persistent and reluctantly agreed.

This is just a joke in life. There are many versions, which are harmless. However, if it involves learning, it is different. There is a famous saying in the university that everyone may know:

"Zhi Zhi can then decide, decide and then be quiet, be quiet and then be safe, be safe and then pay attention, and then get it."

Let's put the truth aside here. Literally funny sentences are just a question. Heather quoted a joke in the "original university whispers":

In order to study "University", Teacher Liu Yuhong told me a joke yesterday. Once upon a time, there was a rich man in the village who opened a family school and invited two gentlemen to teach. A gentleman took a class of students upstairs, and another took a class of students downstairs. Upstairs and downstairs are all about teaching students to go to college first. The teacher upstairs taught me, "Zhi Zhi can then settle down, then be quiet, then be peaceful, then think, and then get it." . Oh, why is the word "de" missing? The gentleman downstairs is also teaching University. "Zhi Zhi can then, decide and then, quietly and then, safely and then, consider and then …" Ouch! Why is there an extra word "de"? A student said, sir, the gentleman upstairs said there was a word "de" missing. The gentleman said at will, well, let's borrow the word "de" upstairs!

This story is very interesting, as if it were made up. In fact, there used to be such a teacher who could not pass. I heard many such stories when I was a child. Now, I am one of them.

Heather said he was one of them, but he was only modest. We don't have to take it seriously. Perhaps the most famous funny story told by heather is Breaking and Strictness.

There are several very important words in the Shurangama Sutra: "What you know is what you see, and what you know is what you don't see is nirvana."

In the Song Dynasty, there was a Zen master at Lu Rui Temple in Wenzhou, who recited scriptures and Buddha every day. Seeing the previous paragraph, he suddenly had a whim and put the original sentence "I know what you saw." There is just no clear book. See what you know, see what you don't see Si is nirvana. "Punctuation has been changed and it has become" the unity of knowledge and action ". "Know just don't know. I know. Look at that. Seeing thought is nirvana. " Therefore, I realized a lot. Later, he called himself "broken stare blankly". After reading it in a different way, he was suddenly enlightened, enlightened and clear. "Stand with knowledge", knowing and seeing, there is a kind of purity and awareness, "knowing but not knowing", this kind of knowledge itself is ignorance, and this is trouble. "Know nothing", everything is empty, truth is empty, reading is empty, and nirvana is empty. Seeing this is enlightenment. This is the time when he realized the Tao and explained the sentence himself. I understand.

I hope everyone can be like this master.
