"The Analects of Confucius Yang Huo" How to kill a chicken with a knife?

Confucius is not a pedantic teacher, but a funny scholar. When Confucius saw the story of Yang Huo, he saw that Confucius was not only clever and wise, but also adhered to his own principles.

Yang Huo looks like Confucius, so Confucius was mistaken for Yang Huo between Chen and Cai, surrounded him and tried to kill him. Yang Huo is a villain and a traitor in Lu, but he is very capable. He always wants to win over Confucius and has an attempt. Therefore, he wants to see Confucius, but Confucius never meets him, so he refuses to do so.

One day he went to see Confucius, but he didn't see him, so he left a ham for Confucius. In ancient times, gifts were given in return. Yang Huo gave Confucius ham, which was a great skill. You didn't see me, but I wanted to see you. You looked down on me, but I looked up to you, which made Confucius difficult. What should we do? From this incident, we can also know that Confucius, a saint, is not as dull as everyone imagined, and he also has a set. Probably let his students do an intelligence first, inquire about Yang Huo's whereabouts, and pay a return visit when he is not at home. It is not impolite to leave a business card. Unexpectedly, I met Yang Huo again on the road, and Confucius couldn't stop meeting him.

Yang Huo said to Confucius, Come, I'll talk to you. There is a man who is full of knowledge, learning and ambition, and seems to be pregnant with a baby. However, when his country is in such turmoil, he refuses to stand up and use his knowledge to save the country and stand by and watch. Can such a person be called benevolent? Confucius said that this is wrong and cannot be said to be benevolent. Confucius was beaten. Yang Huo also raised the second question, saying that a person who is thoughtful and capable of doing things for the country, but often loses the opportunity to do things, even the opportunity to come to him, is this person wise? Confucius said that this is also wrong. On the second question, Confucius was beaten again.

At last, he told Confucius that the sun and the moon were constantly running, and time passed quickly. People are getting old day by day, and when they are old, they want to save the world and save the country, and their energy is gone. Time can't stay in the young stage forever. So Confucius said, yes! I'm going out to do something.

If Confucius had nodded his head at that time, he would have come out to be in cahoots with Yang Huo. If he wanted power, he would have power, and if he wanted wealth, he would have wealth, but Confucius would never have come out. This is the origin of the ancients. Every step in life is very important. If you make a mistake, you may be wrong forever.

Confucius said: Most people are similar in essence, but their development directions are different. Yang Hu hoped that Confucius would come out as an official, but Confucius couldn't be hard. Everyone has different interests and habits, so there is no way to communicate with the society of this era, and he is always detached and independent, which is the truth of being close to sex and learning far. Confucius also said that only the first-class intelligent people and the most stupid people will not be affected by the environment. In other words, the truly first-class intelligent person is the most stupid person in the world; The truly stupid person is the first-class smart person. So people don't need to play smart. People who like to play smart will fail in the end.

Wucheng is a place name, where Confucius student Ziyou is the head. Once Confucius went there and heard the sound of string songs. Confucius said with a smile, Ziyou is in such a small place, and educating the people with this kind of advanced music is equivalent to killing a chicken and using a knife, which is too much to make a mountain out of a molehill! Ziyou replied: in the past, I heard the teacher teach us many times that a knowledgeable gentleman should be able to expand his benevolent mind and love after learning Tao; Little people who know little need education more, and they need to learn Taoism more, because low-level people will understand the truth when they learn Taoism, and it will be more convenient to command.

When Confucius heard this, he immediately took back what he had just said and told other students around him, listen up, all of you. Ziyou was right. I was joking just now. Confucius also admitted his mistakes honestly in front of his students, and did not play tricks or oppress others by force.

the public mountain is a person, the public mountain is a surname, the public mountain is a name, and the fee is a place name. Gong Shan Fu faze defected and became independent in this place. After the mutiny, people came to ask Confucius for help. It was said that Confucius was going to go. Zilu was very unhappy and said, Teacher, don't you have anywhere to go? Where can't I go? Gong Shan Fu faze such a traitor, do you still want to go to him? Confucius said that he invited me, not on my own initiative. If someone really uses me, the culture of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty can rise again in this place.
