Confucius said, "How dare I be a holy and benevolent person?" ? If you take pains to suppress and teach people, you can say that the cloud is gone. "Gong Xihua said," only disciples can't learn. "

Confucius said, "If I am a saint and kind, how dare I do it?" ? However, I can never be satisfied with improving my self-cultivation and tirelessly educating my students. "Gong Xihua said," this is what we students can't do. "

My feeling:

As we know, there are 3000 disciples of Confucius and 72 saints. He led his disciples around the world 14 years. Confucius is also an ancient literature collator. He edited poetry books, defined rites and music, and wrote Chunqiu as a preface to Zhouyi.

Although Confucius's idea of governing the country was not accepted by the rulers at that time, his virtue and erudition were widely sought after, and he was once praised as "the sage of heaven" and "the muduo of heaven" by all countries.

In the face of everyone's praise, Confucius said with self-humility: If I say that I can reach the realm of being a saint and being kind, then I am not worthy, but I can't. Only Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wen, Wu and Duke Zhou are saints and benevolent.

Confucius paused for a moment and then continued: "If you take pains to restrain and teach others, you can say that the cloud is over." This means that I'm just not satisfied with my studies and I'm working tirelessly to teach my students. Do things strictly according to the high standards of saints and benevolent people, and walk on the perfect road. Just ask about cultivation, don't ask about harvest, but who likes to talk about doing good deeds and the future of Mo Wen?

Gong Xihua, a disciple standing by, heard Confucius' words and said with emotion: The teacher has reached the realm where sages stop at the top of the mountain and stop at the scene. He is still so hard, so diligent, so modest and doesn't pretend to be himself. For his cultivation and realm, our disciples can't learn and can't catch up with him!

Teacher Fan Deng said Gong Xihua was self-aware. It is not easy to study tirelessly and teach others tirelessly. It is impossible for everyone to persevere, find the pleasure of learning and find the state of flow.

Confucius' modesty is obvious to all. As a cultural celebrity and an education expert at that time, he said: "In a threesome, there must be a teacher. Choose good and follow it, but change it if it is not good "; He advocates "being sensitive and eager to learn, and not ashamed to ask questions"; He asked himself and his disciples to "know what they know, not what they don't know, but why"; He put modesty into action. "When you enter the ancestral hall, you ask everything." When you enter the ancestral temple, you ask everything, what it is, what it is for, how to do it, how to do it, and so on. He learns from everyone around him anytime, anywhere, never satisfied, and never fails. As for what others say about me, it doesn't matter.

This passage is from Chapter 34 of The Analects of Confucius. What I learned from it is that I should learn from Confucius, not sigh.

I saw a passage on the Internet today, as the end of this article, encouraging myself:

"Even if you can't see hope, don't forget the direction of your efforts; Even if you can't appreciate it, don't forget your original dream; Even if you can't forget your sadness, don't forget your happy appearance; Even if you can't get a happy room, don't forget the sunshine outside the window; Don't forget to fly freely even if you can't spread your wings; Even if you can't smell the flowers, don't forget the fragrance of life. "
