The story of Confucius and Lutz is a tribute to Confucius. Although Luz was a little disdainful when he first met the weak Confucius, Confucius taught him to learn. Lutz said? What is He Xuezhi? ? It can be seen that it is arrogant and straightforward. Confucius was not angry, saying, if you can insert feathers and sharp arrows to make a crossbow, won't it shoot deeper? Lutz thanked him and said? To being taught. ? It can be seen that Lutz is reckless, and Confucius is also generous to Lutz. After listening to Confucius, Lutz immediately paid tribute to Confucius.
In the process of getting along with Confucius, Luz always took the initiative to ask Confucius for advice when encountering problems, such as asking him how to treat the country and so on. At the same time, Lutz also bluntly expressed his own ideas and even different views from Confucius. For example, when Confucius went to see Nanzi when he was defending the country, Lutz disagreed very much, and Confucius did not put on airs, but took the initiative to explain to Lutz. From here, we can see that Confucius did not completely regard Lutz as.
In the process of educating students, Confucius always actively inspires his disciples to express their views. Luz always speaks first. When Confucius asked the students about their ambitions, Luz boldly stated his ambitions. He was willing to share what he had with his friends, ride his own chariots and horses, and share good clothes together. It doesn't matter if it's broken. From here, we can see the boldness of Luz.
Confucius and Lutz have also established good trust under long-term coexistence. When Confucius traveled around the world and couldn't find a country to practice his ideas, he wanted to build a small raft to drift out to sea. Confucius said that Lutz might be the only one who followed me. Lutz was very happy to hear this, which shows that the two peoples trust and respect each other.
The friendship between Confucius and Lutz is very deep, and Confucius knows Lutz very well. Confucius said when he heard that there was a coup in Weiguo? Lutz is dead! ? Really know that Lutz died tragically, Confucius cried in the atrium, even? Repeatedly? . Yan Hui died, Kong Li died, then Lutz died, and Confucius was hit one after another, so he died in 479 BC, one year after Lutz's death.
Zigong redeemed people, Lutz collected cattle.
Luz was one of Confucius' disciples and was deeply loved by Confucius. Confucius knew Lutz's temperament very well, taught students in accordance with their aptitude, and formulated appropriate educational methods according to his temperament. At the same time, Confucius is also a wise man, who can make the most favorable choice according to the development of things, which can be seen from a short story we will tell below.
Lu Chunqiu recorded such a short story. When Luz was walking on the road, he found a man falling into the water, so Luz immediately jumped into the water to save the man. In order to thank Lutz for saving his life, this man gave Lutz a cow, and Lutz accepted it gladly, and took it back to Confucius to tell the story of his rescue. Many people think it is good to save others' lives, but it is very inappropriate to accept others' cows. Confucius said:? Lu people will save more drowning people! ?
From this short story, we can see Confucius' values, and we can also see that Confucius is far-sighted. For Confucius, it is better for Luz to accept cows than not to accept them. Because Lutz's good deeds should be rewarded, it is natural to accept others' rewards. Lutz himself didn't ask others to give him cows, but others automatically provided cows, which is an affirmation of Lutz's behavior. At the same time, accepting cows is also a compliment to Lutz, so that more people know Lutz's kindness. At the same time, sending cattle is the choice of the rescued person, which conforms to the values of the rescued person, so it is better to accept it. At the same time, after accepting the cow, this matter can be further spread, so that those who want to get paid can feel that saving people can get paid and it is possible to get cows, so they will actively save drowning people, which is very beneficial to the improvement of the whole social atmosphere in terms of changing social atmosphere. Many people are condemning Lutz, but Confucius affirmed Lutz's behavior from the social significance of this matter, which shows that Confucius has seen farther and deeper.
Why did Confucius try to get water from Luz?
Confucius is a master of Confucianism. He not only teaches students in accordance with their aptitude, but also attaches great importance to the practice of knowledge. For an unknown thing, he should not only listen to others, but also see it with his own eyes and do experiments in person, so that the knowledge gained is more real. Even if you have doubts about a small matter, you should stick to the experiment instead of following other people's advice, that is, you have doubts about everything.
Shuo Yuan recorded such a thing. When Confucius visited the Zhou Temple, he saw a sacrificial vessel and asked: What is this? Some people say that it is placed on the right side of the table as an admonitory vessel. Confucius said: I have heard of such a ship. If it is empty, it will tilt; If the water inside is right, it will stand upright; If it is full, it will fall. Is that so? The answer is yes. So Confucius asked Luz to bring water to try. When Confucius saw that this was really the case, he sighed and said, Yes, where is the truth full of things in the world? So Lutz asked, is there any way to make it full without covering it? Confucius said:? High and capable, full and empty, rich and thrifty, expensive and humble, intelligent and foolish, brave and fearful, slow in argument, broad and shallow, bright and dark, all of which are called loss without extremes. You can learn this way, but only the most virtuous people can. ? Only those people with very good virtue can do it without repetition.
From this story, we can see that Confucius is very cautious about all knowledge, and he has to personally verify any questions. It can be said that his scholarship is quite rigorous, which also illustrates a truth. If you want things to stay the same forever, you need to actively practice your virtue and take the initiative to move in the opposite direction. Can you do it? High and capable, full and empty, rich and frugal, expensive and humble, intelligent and foolish, brave and fearful, blunt in argument, shallow in knowledge, bright and dark. ?
Lutz asked adults to explain it.
Luz is a very lovely person. Although he is not far-sighted, he can't be called both wise and brave, but he is brave and generous, longing for a gentleman's way and being a perfect person. But what kind of people can be called perfect people? Lutz himself is not very clear, or he has a standard in mind but he is a little uncertain, so Lutz asked his teacher, so there is a short story in The Analects of Confucius, and Lutz asked an adult.
Lutz asked the teacher Confucius what kind of talents can be called perfect people? Confucius concluded that a perfect person needs Zang Wuzhong's wisdom, Meng Gongchuo's abstinence, Zhuangzi's courage and Ran Qiu's versatility. Such talents are perfect. However, a perfect person doesn't have to do that at all. He only needs to be able to think of righteousness when he sees the benefits of money, and not shrink back when he is in danger, even at the expense of his life. He must keep his promise in what he has agreed and promised others. If he can do the above, he can be called a perfect person.
When Confucius talked about a perfect person, he did not use unattainable criteria, but took some standards that ordinary people could completely achieve as the definition of a perfect person. It can be seen that Confucius' ideal is very realistic, and it is not an unreachable mirage. See how easy these standards are to achieve. When you see money, you should think about whether it is ill-gotten gains and whether it will bring harm to others. How easy it is to stand up when there is danger and keep your promise when you make an appointment with someone, so everyone can reward themselves in their hearts when they do so. I am a perfect person! How delightful!
