(1) study from time to time, what's more? Is it not delightful to have friends coming from distant quarters? Isn't he a completely moral person? Although people may not pay attention to him, he won't feel uneasy.

translate

Confucius said, "isn't it pleasant to review exercises often after learning?" Is it not delightful to have friends coming from distant quarters? I'm not disgusted or angry that people don't understand me. Isn't he also a virtuous gentleman? "

realize

Learning is a pleasure.

Wang Gen's Music Learning Song in the Ming Dynasty: "Music means learning to be happy, and learning means learning to be happy. Unhappiness is not learning, and not learning is not happiness. "

Confucius said, "Knowing is not as good as being kind, and being kind is not as good as being happy."

It is a happy thing to have like-minded friends.

Book of Rites: "He who studies alone without friends is an ignorant person."

Yijinggan: "Respond with one voice and seek with one spirit."

Don't force others to understand yourself.

The purpose of learning is to improve one's self-cultivation, not to please others or show off to others, so Confucius said, "Ancient scholars are also for themselves."

Do as you would be done by.

translate

Don't impose what you don't want on others.

realize

Confucius put forward the principle of "loyalty and forgiveness" as an ethical criterion to deal with the relationship between people, and the explanation of "forgiveness" is the basis of the ethical criterion, which is universal.

(3) Benevolent people want to stand, and they want to reach people.

translate

As for the benevolent, it is self-reliance and self-improvement to help others stand together; If you want to live well by yourself, you should also help others to live well together.

realize

Confucius said, "Is benevolence far away? I want a benevolent person, and I am also a benevolent person! " It means "benevolence". Is it far from us? As long as we want to be "benevolent", "benevolence" will come.

Confucius interpreted "benevolence" as "love". It is not difficult to be a "benevolent", as long as we adhere to the principle of "putting ourselves in others' shoes" summarized by Mencius.

(4) Those who know me are only "Spring and Autumn"! Sin me, its only "Spring and Autumn Annals"!

translate

I wrote this book, called Spring and Autumn Annals, which was praised and criticized by later generations.

realize

Mencius said that "Confucius became a spring and autumn period, and the rebels were afraid", which is a historical pen to praise Confucius. In his book, Confucius praised and criticized historical figures and events with "Spring and Autumn brushwork", which had a great influence on later historiography. Sima Qian thought that his Historical Records was written by inheriting Confucius' Spring and Autumn Annals.

This sentence of Confucius expresses such an attitude, insisting on doing what you think is valuable and letting others comment.

⑤ Poetry can be appreciated, seen, grouped and resented; Your father is a thing, and your father is a distant thing; Learn more about the names of birds, animals and plants.

translate

Learning "poetry" can stimulate ambition, observe everything in the world, make people understand the necessity of gregarious, and make people know how to satirize superiors. Near can be used to serve parents, far can serve the monarch; You can also know more about the names of birds, animals and plants.

realize

Confucius said that poetry can stimulate emotions, observe society, communicate with friends and complain about injustice ... You can also know the names of many birds, animals and plants, and summarize the aesthetic, educational and cognitive functions of poetry in a few words, which has profoundly influenced the literature and aesthetics of later generations.

6 is not there, Wen is not there? The sky will lose its gentleness, and the dead will not be gentle. If the sky does not die, where will the Kuang people go?

translate

After Zhou Wenwang's death, didn't the ritual and music culture of the Zhou Dynasty reflect on me? If god wants to destroy this culture, then I can't master it; If God doesn't destroy this culture, what can the Kuang people do to me?

realize

Confucius was besieged in Kuang Di, and he still believed that he was the successor and disseminator of Zhou Wenhua and the carrier of Tao. Sven is here! This self-confidence and spirit of "destiny" is the origin of the theory of "orthodoxy" in later generations, and it is also an important reason why China culture has never been cut off.

All landowners father there, looking at his ambition; Father didn't, observe his actions; Three years without changing your father's ways can be described as filial piety.

translate

When the father is alive (because he has no right to act independently), he should observe his ambition; After his father's death, we should examine his behavior; If he doesn't change the reasonable part of his father for a long time, such a person can be said to have done his duty.

realize

When the principle of "filial piety" is extended and the virtues of ancestors are inherited and carried forward, family precepts, family traditions and family traditions can be formed, and the formation of family traditions depends on the inheritance of children from generation to generation from their parents' family precepts, family traditions and family traditions, that is, Confucius said, "be cautious in the end and pursue the future", and then expand from family to the whole society, making the social atmosphere good and "people's morality return to thick"!
