Confucius studied the piano persistently and learned a piano piece, which not only can play, but also goes deep into a deeper level. Even if Shi Xiangzi said that he could teach Confucius something else, it was not really learned by Confucius.
So Confucius went deeper and deeper, from knowing how to play, to mastering skills, to further understanding its interest, and then to understanding the characters described in music. We were deeply moved when we saw Confucius' consistent hard-working attitude and persistent learning spirit.
This story tells us that learning needs to be single-minded and thorough. If you stay on the surface, or not deep enough, it is difficult to understand the deeper truth.
And learning is not for others, but for yourself, in order to better master knowledge, enhance ability and serve the society. Therefore, people who are really interested in learning will devote themselves wholeheartedly, go deeper, and will not take it lightly or give up halfway.
2. Learn from fishermen
One day, Confucius and his students were resting in the forest. When Confucius heard what the fisherman said by the river was very meaningful, he immediately went to the fisherman, bowed respectfully to him and said, "I have been studying since I was a child, and now I am 69 years old." I have never heard such a profound teaching, so I came to ask you. "
The fisherman rudely explained his point of view. Confucius was very inspired and nodded again and again. Finally, Confucius said modestly to the fisherman, "I am so lucky to meet Mr. Wang. I would like to be your student."
3. Never tire of learning and never tire of teaching.
Confucius was famous for his eagerness to learn and showed great interest in all kinds of knowledge, so he was versatile and knowledgeable. At that time, he was so famous that he was almost regarded as an omniscient saint, but Confucius himself didn't know it that way. Confucius said, "A saint cannot learn, but never tires of teaching." ?
Confucius learned that there was no teacher. Whoever has knowledge and who doesn't understand will worship him as a teacher. So he said, "A threesome must have a teacher."
4. Learn and be kind to others
Confucius founded the moral theory with benevolence as the core. He is also a kind person, compassionate, helpful, sincere and generous. "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you", "A gentleman's adult beauty is not evil", and "Do your best until you die" are all his life principles.
Confucius said, "Five out of ten, I am determined to learn; I am thirty years old; Forty without confusion; At the age of fifty, I knew my destiny; I am obedient at the age of sixty; I am still obedient at the age of seventy; I didn't cross the line. " This is Confucius' summary of all stages of his life.
Step 5 visit Laozi
I'm glad to see Confucius along the way. Ask Confucius: "Have you reached the Tao?" Confucius said, "I have been asking for it for 27 years, but I still haven't got it." After the first conversation, Lao Tzu led Confucius to visit Dr. Changhong. He also led Confucius to observe the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the gods, visited missionary sites and observed the etiquette of temple fairs, which made Confucius sigh and benefited a lot.
Confucius said: "When I met Laozi, I felt that his ideological realm was like a dragon swimming in the void, which made me speechless and made me uneasy. I didn't know if he was a man or a god." Lao Dan, it is really my teacher! "
