What is the core of Confucius' thought?

Confucius put forward the theory of "benevolence", whose core idea is "love". In Confucius' view, if you want to "love others", you must "do to others what you don't want others to do to you".

Confucius initiated the wind of private schools and advocated benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith. According to legend, Confucius once asked Laozi for gifts, with 3,000 disciples, including 72 sages. He led some disciples around the world for thirteen years, and revised the six classics of Poetry, Calligraphy, Rites and Music, Book of Changes and Spring and Autumn Annals in his later years.

After the death of Confucius, his disciples and their re-disciples recorded the words and deeds, quotations and thoughts of Confucius and his disciples, and compiled the Confucian classic The Analects.

In ancient times, Confucius was regarded as a "saint of heaven" and a "muduo of heaven". He was one of the most learned scholars in the society at that time, and was respected by later rulers as Confucius' sage, the most holy, the most holy teacher, the most holy teacher, the teacher of kings and the teacher of generations.

Confucius was a famous thinker, politician and educator in ancient China, who lived in exile all his life. Nevertheless, he still enjoys the age of 73. Throughout his thoughts, words and deeds, there are also some incisive and unique health-keeping concepts shining.

Benevolence: "Benevolence", as the core of Confucius' thought, is also fully reflected in his concept of health preservation.

"Benevolent people don't worry" and "great virtue leads to longevity" undoubtedly become their health care program. "An upright person, an upright person", caring people always pay attention to the continuous improvement and self-improvement of personality cultivation. Open-minded and sincere, aboveboard and heroic, will naturally benefit the body and mind, health and longevity.

On the other hand, "little people are always worried", and shameless people are full of ideas about how to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of it, which leads to narrow-mindedness, indecision, intrigue and exhaustion, and they can only stand still and have no chance of long life.

Eight no? In terms of diet, Confucius summed up the principle of "eight don't eat" in his later years, that is, "the fish is hungry and the meat is defeated, so he doesn't eat; Color is evil, do not eat; Smelly, don't eat; Lose food, don't eat; From time to time, don't eat; Cut it inappropriately and don't eat it; No sauce, no vegetables; Selling wine in the market, not eating. " Modern language can be further summarized into two aspects:

In terms of color and taste, color change is not suitable for eating; In terms of production, do not eat improper cooking or improper use of seasoning. The disease enters through the mouth. In ancient times, Confucius was so particular about eating. Therefore, in today's society, we naturally have enough reasons to pay special attention to and attach importance to the safety of our dining table.

Three precepts: "a gentleman has three precepts: when he is young, his blood gas is uncertain, so he should quit with color;" It is also strong and bloody, and it is fighting; I am also old and my blood gas is declining, so I have to quit. "In the current words, when you are young, your blood gas is uncertain, and it is forbidden to be obsessed with women; In the prime of life, qi and blood are vigorous, and fighting is strictly prohibited; When you are old and weak in qi and blood, don't be greedy.

It is not difficult to see that the original intention of Confucius' sentence is to let people adjust their mentality at different ages, weigh the advantages and disadvantages and choose the middle way, while preventing them from going to extremes. Having a rare normal heart is the source of health and the foundation of longevity.

Jiu Si: That is, "seeing clearly and thinking clearly, listening clearly, thinking intelligently, thinking warmly, thinking respectfully, thinking faithfully, thinking respectfully, asking clearly and asking clearly, thinking resentfully and seeing things".

Think about whether you understand, whether you hear clearly, whether you look gentle, whether you look respectful, whether you talk honestly, whether you are cautious, whether you ask for advice when you are in trouble, whether you are angry, whether you see something, whether you deserve it.

It can be seen that Confucius put forward detailed and specific norms and requirements from the aspects of audio-visual appearance, words and deeds in daily life, deeper thinking and social work. Only by doing this completely can we achieve a high degree of harmony and unity of body and mind. "Gentle, courteous and courteous, and then a gentleman" finally became an ideal figure in Confucius' mind who could truly "live forever". ?
