What do you mean by not being diligent and not distinguishing between grains? Where did it come from?

This definition describes a scholar who is divorced from labor and practice.

From The Analects of Confucius, a disciple of Kong Qiu in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Confucius is ambitious and wants to benefit the whole world. He traveled around the world with several apprentices and worked tirelessly.

One day, Confucius separated from his students, leaving Luz alone. At this time, it was getting late. I asked an old man the way: "Old man, have you seen my teacher?"

The old man put down his hoe and said angrily, "Look at you, you are so lazy and you ask me questions rashly. How did your teacher educate you? " After that, the old man waved his hoe to do farm work again.

Lutz stood by the roadside, waiting for the old man.

It was dark, and the old man picked up his hoe and said, "Let's go!" " "

The old man stayed at home for dinner, killed the chicken, cooked a pot of yellow rice, warmly entertained him and kept him overnight.

The next day, Luz found Confucius and reported to him what happened yesterday. Confucius said, "He is a hermit. You should go back and see him again! " "

Lutz didn't dare to neglect, and quickly went back to find the old man, but he had already dodged.
