Selected works of Zhou Guoping (Wed 08th Feb 2023 at 3:24am)
The phrase "a gentleman is not a tool" not only expresses Confucius'academic outlook, but also his outlook on life. On one occasion, Confucius chatted with four of his students and asked them to talk about their aspirations. Three of them said they wanted to be militarists, economists and diplomats respectively. Only Zeng Dian said that his ideal was to set out lightly in late spring and March, make an appointment with a number of friends, go swimming in the river, enjoy the cool under the forest, and sing all the way back. When Confucius heard this, he said with a deep sigh, "I think the same as Zeng Dian." This sigh of the sage vividly expressed his unstained spirit, which greatly moved a literary theorist who attached the most importance to the spirit two thousand years later, and changed his name to "Holy Sigh" to commemorate it. Life is alive, why become what tool, do what home, as long as live leisurely and carefree, is not better than everything? Scholars generally believe that "benevolence" is the core of Confucius' thought. As for what is "benevolence", there are different opinions, but they are not within the scope of ethics and morality. It is a fact that Confucius valued human relations, but he was a wise man after all, and as long as a person is wise enough,endless swimming pool, he will never fail to see through the relative nature of all ethical norms. Therefore, it is not surprising that Confucius did not regard "benevolence" as a necessary condition for ideal personality when he said that "a gentleman without benevolence has a husband". Some people attribute benevolence to loyalty and forgiveness. In fact, Confucius never advocated blind loyalty and excessive forgiveness. He always differentiated between the two situations of "the state has a way" and "the state has no way". When there is no way in the state, it is better to run away if you can ( "float in the sea by boat"), to speak less if you can't escape ( "Yan Sun"), and to pretend to be stupid is better (the idiom "stupid" comes from the Analects of Confucius, and its original meaning is not to describe stupidity, but to praise someone who pretends to be stupid and clever. It is equivalent to Zheng Banqiao's "rare confusion". He is not like Christ,outdoor spa manufacturers, who, when you are beaten on the left cheek, wants you to send the right cheek up. When asked if he should "return good for evil," he asked, "So what can be used to return good?"? Then he said that it should be to repay enmity with justice and kindness with kindness. Confucius was really a very reasonable man. He had common sense and a sense of propriety. He was not paranoid at all. "Faith" is one of the connotations of "benevolence" stipulated by him personally, but he clearly said that "words must be kept and actions must be resolute", which is the behavior of a rigid villain ( "however a villain"). The key is that the two words "must" have no room for flexibility, which made the old gentleman angry. He also objected to being overly cautious. We often say "think twice before you act", which also comes from the Analects of Confucius, but Confucius does not agree, he said that it is OK to think again. Perhaps Confucius is not free and easy place, I cite only one side. After all, it is gratifying to have this side, which makes me feel at ease to admit that Confucius is a qualified philosopher, american hot tub ,whirlpool hot tub, because a philosopher is a wise man, and how can a wise man not be free and easy? 19918 The most important thing in life is the mind. One Reading the complete works of yuan Zhonglang, I feel the breeze blowing slowly on my face and the spirit is refreshing. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, this gifted scholar was once a magistrate of Wu County. As soon as he took office, he wrote to his friends, saying, "Wu Zhong is like an order. There is a leader in the five lakes, a monarch in Dongting, a master in wine, a bosom friend in tea, and an elder in Shenggong Shuofashi." Open the book and read such handsome words. I don't want to put it down any more, and I believe this person will say a lot of witty remarks. My expectations were not disappointed. Please take a look at this passage: "There are three great failures in the world, but the destruction of the country and the subjugation of the family are not related to it.". Mountains and rivers and friends do not get together, a disappointed also. Friends are busy, get together soon, two failures also. You are not in time, or the flowers wither and the mountains wither, and the three are defeated. It's very elegant. Zhonglang loved mountains and rivers and friends most in his life. No wonder he wrote the best travel notes and letters. However, if you think he is just a casual scholar, you will look down upon him. "History of the Ming Dynasty" records that when he was in Wu County, he "listened to the judgment, and the court was fresh", so he spent all day "talking about poetry and prose with scholar-bureaucrats, pretending to be elegant". It can be seen that he is extremely capable and skillful. But he was really elegant, and by nature he could not endure the mundane affairs of officialdom, so he finally resigned. Later, several times from the official, but also to thank the end of the disease. In the literary world of the late Ming Dynasty, Zhonglang and his two brothers were the figures who opened up a new era. Their style, in the words of his comments on his younger brother Xiao Xiu's poems, is "to express the spirit alone, not to stick to the style, not to flow out of their own minds, and not to write.". In fact, this not only expresses Zhonglang's literary ideas, but also his attitude towards life. He wants to live according to his true nature and live his true nature. His elegance is not superficial, but the natural expression of his inner spirit. Sex is personality, spirit is spirit, he is really a person with great personality and spirit. Two In everyone's life, there has been an era of life according to the true nature, that is, childhood. Children are innocent and refuse to restrain themselves. He lives to enjoy life, and the interests and rules of the world are not in his eyes for the time being. With the growth of age and the deepening of the world, there are more and more vulgar worries and constraints, and the original innocent children are transformed into vulgar things. So, can we escape this fate? It is difficult because human nature is fragile and the power of the environment is enormous. With the passing of childhood,jacuzzi bathtub manufacturers, if there is no adult wisdom to remedy it in time, it is almost inevitable to lose childlike innocence. The so-called adult gentleman does not lose the heart of a child, which shows that wisdom is the patron saint of childlike innocence. Anyone whose childlike innocence is not extinguished must have a thorough understanding of life. monalisa.com
