First, Luz asked, "Do you act on what you hear?" Confucius said, "With a father and a brother alive, how can you listen to what he says and do?" You Ran asked, "Do you act on what you hear?"

Confucius said, "Do what you say." Gong Xihua said, "Zhong You asked him what he heard and acted. You said' there are still fathers and brothers alive'; Ran Qiu asked if you could do what you heard, and you said,' Do what you heard'. I don't understand why you are like this, so I take the liberty to ask. "

Confucius said: "Ran Qiu is usually timid in doing things, and I encourage him to be bold and enterprising;" Zhong You is usually brave, so I let him retire. " ?

Secondly, one day, he said to Confucius, "The way of benevolence and righteousness taught by Mr. Wang is really desirable! Should these truths I have heard be implemented immediately? " Confucius said, "You have a father and a brother. How can you hear these truths and put them into practice? "

After a while, You Ran asked the same question, but Confucius said, "You should do it after listening." At this time, Gong Xihua, who stood by, was puzzled and couldn't help asking Confucius why. Confucius said: "Ran is a coward, and we should inspire his courage;" Lutz is brave, so we must suppress his violence. "You Ran and Lutz later made political achievements, thanks to the good education of Confucius!
