Write a 300-word essay using a sentence from The Analects of Confucius

1. Use a sentence from the Analects to write a composition on moral cultivation, 200~300 words

"The Master said: Eat sparingly and drink water, bend your arms and rest your head on it, and you will also enjoy it. .

Being rich and noble through unjust means is like floating clouds to me. " Confucius lived a life of poverty and believed that happiness lies in the middle. Confucius felt that the wealth gained by unfair means was like floating in the sky. It's like passing clouds.

Although life is hard, there is also joy in the hard days. It does not necessarily mean that only a lot of wealth can lead to happiness. Most wealthy families cannot live a happy life.

Confucius would rather live a life of poverty than use bad behavior to seize wealth. Although my family is not a wealthy family, we live in harmony and happiness every day.

Dad and mother are using their hard-working hands to change lives. Our family is full of laughter every day.

My sister is a "pistachio", my father is a "humorous weirdo", and my mother and I are both "laughing ghosts". Although our family sometimes quarreled, they reconciled within a few minutes, unlike some wealthy families who quarreled and still did not reconcile after more than ten years.

Just like the skin that has been scalded by boiling water, if you don’t treat it or apply ointment, it will still leave unsightly and ugly scars after it heals in the end. Just like in today's society, some people and leaders who are already very wealthy still use unfair means to embezzle the country's property and take it for private ownership.

There are also some poor people who can't stand the poor life, so they steal and rob to make a good life instead of using their own hands to create their own beauty and beauty. happy days. I have benefited a lot from Confucius's words of moral cultivation.

Life has dignity, and it does not want to see that it has created itself by unfair means. It will be very angry.

"Being rich and noble without justice is like a floating cloud to me." How philosophical this sentence is! It warns us that wealth obtained through unfair means is like clouds passing by in the sky.

We must be people who are "unjust and yet rich and noble, like floating clouds with me". 2. My favorite line from the Analects (about 300 words)

Confucius said: "One can become a teacher by reviewing the past and learning the new." "For Politics" comes from "The Analects of Confucius."

For politics". There are two interpretations of "reviewing the past to learn the new". One is "reviewing the past to learn the new": review what you have heard and gain new insights from it; On the other hand, we strive to acquire new knowledge. Combining these two solutions may be more complete: within the scope of ability, read as many classics as possible, think over their meanings, and review the knowledge you have heard regularly, hoping to gain Experience and understanding; and we should also try our best to absorb new knowledge; in this way, we can expand the field of human knowledge, and we can also give the wisdom of the sages the meaning of the times. In this way, integrating the old and the new and connecting the past and the present can be called "reviewing the past and learning the new" ”. For the old knowledge you have learned, you should always review it, and you will have new experiences and new discoveries.

You will gain more, and you will know more than others. More, so that you can become a teacher for others in some way. In life, every thing and every sentence has its many aspects.

Different people may have different understandings. You can only understand a little of it for a while, but when you have more experience and gain richer knowledge, you may have a different understanding and experience.

Life is so multifaceted. When you don’t understand a sentence, do you choose to abandon it, or think about it deeply? When you study it multiple times, you will have a different experience when we finish a stage. After the incident, when we took advantage of the temporary leisure time and looked back at the past bits and pieces, we realized that we cannot become slaves to work. We must learn to think and summarize, and make our work full of persistence and growth.

3. Choose a sentence from the eight Analects of Confucius and write a 300-word article

Let’s talk about this sentence: “Learning without thinking is a waste, thinking without learning is peril.” The language is very simple, but the truth is very profound.

Of course, this sentence can actually be understood literally. If you just learn so-called knowledge mechanically without thinking about it yourself, you will only fall into metaphysics and be unable to integrate the learned knowledge and apply it correctly in life and work.

Ordinary people’s studies pursue the understanding of knowledge and the mastery of skills, but are unwilling to deeply understand the principles. As long as they know what they are, they are satisfied and proud, and do not understand the reasons in depth. This is Just learn without thinking. There are still people who like to think, but those who like to think must be diligent in learning, because thinking without the support of knowledge has great limitations and may even turn into random thoughts.

Only thinking without continuous learning will make it difficult to make qualitative progress. Therefore, Confucius said in "Wei Linggong", "I will not eat all day long, and will not eat all night long." Sleeping and thinking is useless, it is not as good as studying.” 4.

Start reading "The Analects" from here

The first paragraph of the "Analects" is, Confucius said, "Learn and practice from time to time, and you will not learn from it." Isn’t it a pleasure to have friends from afar? Isn’t it a gentleman to be ignorant? ”

I feel that the word “if” should be added in front of these sentences It is complete, that is, if you learn and practice it from time to time, wouldn't it be pleasant? Wouldn't it be great if friends came from far away? If a person doesn’t know something but is not surprised, isn’t he a gentleman? Why do you say this? Because these sentences are not Confucius's description of the actual situation, but his assumptions about hope. Confucius hoped that his students, colleagues, and friends would all learn from it, and perhaps even encourage himself. I hope that everyone can turn learning into a happy thing, take the initiative to learn with a positive attitude, and review the past and learn new things. Of course, from another aspect of things, learning is not a happy thing for ordinary people. It may even be painful. This may have been the case since ancient times!

Throughout Confucius’s life, he should not be a person pursuing a peaceful life. He traveled to many places with a group of fans, not because he was forced to do so, and there were still many places he wanted to go but failed to do so. Therefore, if you don’t go out and stay at home for a long time, you will feel that your life lacks vitality. If you have friends coming from afar at this time, it goes without saying that you will be very happy. Therefore, Confucius probably not only hoped for such a thing as friends coming from afar, but also looked forward to it. However, there is one thing to note here. Don’t misunderstand the word “乐” (乐) that follows “overjoyed” because of my explanation. The “乐” here refers to music and rituals, not to a happy mood. At that time The word "乐" does not directly express the meaning of happiness. This meaning was derived later. Of course, when friends come from afar, they will be happy. If you are happy, you should express it. How to express it? The first is the grand reception. In the time of Confucius, the grand reception given to friends from far away was not like going to a local high-end restaurant for a big meal like we do now, but the corresponding standard of etiquette and music. Meetings between individuals are unlikely to involve the sound of bells and drums, but there are also certain rituals, and this ritual is reflected through music.

It must be noted that the "friend" here is often interpreted as a friend, which is actually inappropriate. The ancients' friends and friends are two completely different concepts. The ancients' friends have the same meaning as our current friends. They are people with emotional relationships other than relatives. They can be said to be sub-relatives or quasi-relatives. But friends are not. Friends refer to people of the same kind, or to put it more politely, people with similar interests. Sympathy is not necessarily related. Therefore, you need to treat your friends with courtesy, especially those who come from far away, and you should be happy. But friends are people who are close to relatives, so they naturally do not need to treat each other with courtesy, otherwise they will become heretics. Yuan Rang and Confucius mentioned later were friends rather than friends, so they did not pay attention to any etiquette when they met. They spoke directly and even touched each other, but no one cared about it.

Of course, many friends eventually develop into friends, and friends are often found among friends, so we end up lumping friends together.

If a person thinks that he or she is very knowledgeable and talented, but is not discovered by society or valued by leaders, he or she will generally feel aggrieved and depressed, feeling that his or her talents are not being appreciated, which will lead to various negative manifestations. There are too many such people and such things throughout the ages. If you don't feel unhappy because your talents are not met, and always take it calmly, this is not something ordinary people can do. This requires a great deal of mind and tolerance, and it cannot be achieved with an optimistic attitude. With such a great mind and magnanimity, he will definitely be able to show excellent demeanor. In Confucius's view, a person with such great magnanimity and magnanimity, and such excellent demeanor, has certainly reached the level of a gentleman, so he said, "A person who does not know but is not stunned is not a gentleman." Confucius' education has always focused on cultivating gentlemen, hoping that all students can become gentlemen. Continue reading "The Analects" and you will feel this. 5. Write an essay of about 300 words around the Analects

From "The Analects" we can see that the purpose of Confucius' education is to cultivate social managers rather than executors, so he included moral education Put it in the first place, rather than focusing on skills education as the direction of his education.

Why is Confucius so obsessed with gentleman and villain? He must let his students become gentlemen and not villains? It can be seen from the different categories of the above two that the social role and historical influence of the gentleman as a social manager are incomparable to those who perform specific technical work. In fact, we can tell by looking at the Analects. The Analects is a record of the words and deeds of some of Confucius's main disciples. The reason why these words and deeds can be recorded, compiled into the book "The Analects of Confucius" and passed down to this day is inseparable from the contributions of Confucius's disciples and his subsequent disciples. The Analects of Confucius is estimated to have been edited by Zeng Shen and his disciples. However, there was no paper at that time, and the text was recorded on bamboo slips and other large-volume but small-capacity carriers. It was not an easy task to complete an Analects of Confucius. If it were just Zeng Shen and some of his disciples, without the promotion and support of Confucius's students who were in upper-class positions and became social managers, that is, Zeng Shen's brothers, it would be difficult to popularize "The Analects of Confucius" even if it could be reluctantly edited. Come and pass on. The reason why Confucius's disciples were able to accomplish this was because of their strength.

It is precisely because the gentleman is in the management of society and has such immeasurable and long-lasting social influence that Confucius emphasizes the morality of the gentleman and has very high moral standards for the gentleman. Confucius was very wise. His education focused on cultivating his students into gentlemen and tried his best to avoid making students become villains. However, the focus of our education today is on knowledge and technology. It can be said that moral cultivation is lacking, and it is very necessary to review this aspect. If Confucius had not worked hard to do this, he would not have been able to train a group of students who became social managers and influenced his time and later generations. And without this group of students, Confucius's students were all ordinary people, and he would not have been able to stay in history. name. And if there are problems with the morality of these students, even if they allow Confucius to leave his name in history, I am afraid that all they will leave behind is infamy. 6.
