Confucius said, I am beyond reproach for Dayu! No matter how good the emperor rules the world, there is always something to criticize, but for Dayu, there is really nothing wrong with him!
"Philippine diet, and filial piety." My diet is very poor, and my sacrifices to God, the earth and my ancestors are very rich.
"Rotten clothes make you beautiful." Clothes are everyday clothes. "Fu" is an apron with a sacrificial dress around the front to cover the knees and bow down. "Crown" is a top hat. Dayu usually wears simple clothes, but his sacrificial clothes are gorgeous and generous.
"The low palace can be removed." People can live in houses, but his own palace is low and simple, and he is also committed to farmland water conservancy.
"Hey, I'm fine." Dayu! I really can't find out what's wrong with him!
Interpretation of The King of Empowerment
Good Morning, everyone! Give a speech at night and realize your dream! Writing and speaking, seven times faster growth! The more you give, the more you get.
As usual, let's review what we learned yesterday first.
There are five ministers, and the world is ruled. King Wu said, "There are ten rebels." Confucius said, "Difficult. Isn't it? At the time of Tang Yu, there were only nine women. There are two things in the world that serve Yin. Zhou Zhide can be described as the ultimate virtue. "
I'm talking about the importance of talents and the importance of building a core team as a leader.
Shun has five wise ministers who can govern the world. These five people are: Dayu, Ji, Qi, and Bo Yi, who perform their respective duties and cooperate with each other.
There are ten right-hand men, including:, Zhao (Shao), Gong, Tai Gong Wang, Rong Gong, Tai Dian, San Yisheng, Nan Gong and He.
With the help of these talents, the Zhou Dynasty created a foundation of 800 years and laid a solid foundation for the culture of the Chinese nation.
Zhou Wenwang is a man of noble character, and there is nothing wrong with him. He has occupied two-thirds of the world, and he still abides by the duties of a courtier. It's really admirable.
I'm talking about whether King Wen has a name or not. With this strength, I won't hold this position. Later, Zhou went too far, overthrew him and established the Zhou Dynasty.
Today we are going to learn the last chapter of Taber's article, which is also about evaluating or praising a person! Who is this man? It is Dayu in Dayu's water control.
The previous chapter commended Shun and Yu at the same time, so this chapter also commended Yu respectively.
Read the original text first.
Confucius said, "I am not alone." Philippine diet, but filial piety; Rotten clothes make you beautiful; Humble palace, but live in the ditch as much as possible. Hey, I'm fine. "
Look at this sentence pattern, it's quite interesting. That is, Confucius sighed and reached a conclusion first. I have no problem with Dayu. He is the perfect idol in my heart. Then how to give an example?
One is Philippine diet, the other is rotten clothes, and the other is low office. Explain from three aspects, and finally draw a conclusion. You see, I have sufficient reasons and evidence to prove that I just can't find anything wrong.
Is it like a structure that we often say in the speech training camp, called total score? Put forward the viewpoint first, discuss it in sections below, and finally summarize it, but the clear concept here is consistent with the last point, like a very beautiful argumentative paper and speech.
I am not alone. This room actually means a gap. In fact, it is a shortcoming and can be criticized.
Have you ever heard of a word? Blow aggradation and find cracks. It means finding fault, that is, no matter how I look, I can't find something wrong with Dayu.
As we all know, as a person, especially a person in a high position, he often has both good and bad sides. But for Yu, I just can't find out what his shortcomings are, anyway! It can be seen that Dayu's position in Confucius' mind.
There are three places to explain here.
The first Philippine diet. It is said that Dayu doesn't care about diet, has no special requirements, and eats very simply and thinly. Extension means not paying attention to individuals, enjoyment and personal material conditions.
Is he really not particular? No, he attaches great importance to business. What is business? It is filial piety to ghosts and gods.
That is to say, there are many gods, land gods and ancestors who sacrifice, and the things used for sacrifice are very good and rich. What does this mean? It is a kind of respect for ancestors, ghosts and gods and heaven.
As we all know, sacrificial activities, whether to worship ancestors or ghosts and gods, are actually a kind of belief, a political activity and a metaphysical thing, which actually shapes everyone's values.
Through the sacrifice, it shows that we have the same ancestor and there are gods watching us. We should work hard, live a good life and do things by the book. We can't be sorry for our ancestors, and we can't do things that people and gods are angry with.
This is the difference between public and private. I can be simple for individuals, but I will try to do business again.
"Rotten clothes make you beautiful."
Clothes are everyday clothes. "Fu" is an apron with a sacrificial dress around the front to cover the knees and bow down.
A crown, as we all know, is a top hat with a hat on it. When there is a major event, you should wear a formal suit, and the hat on the formal suit should be neat, because he didn't have a haircut before and his hair was long.
The clothes that Dayu usually wears are actually very simple and even a little tattered.
Just like we said that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the clothes and underwear worn by Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou and Mr. Zhu were patched. Some clothes have been worn for decades and have been patched a lot. For individuals, it is not enjoyment, not comfort.
But when he attended the sacrifice, he was very formal, with special dresses, bathing, fasting and changing clothes. Take out your best clothes to show respect for your ancestors and gods.
Third, the low palace, live in the ditch as much as possible.
The ditch inside is a waterway in the ground.
"Zhou Li Kao Gong Ji Craftsman": "A craftsman is a ditch ... nine husbands are wells, and the well is four feet wide and four feet deep, which is called a ditch. Shili is a success. The room is eight feet wide and eight feet deep. "
I don't know what it means, as long as everyone knows. Just a water conservancy facility.
The ditch should be shallow, four feet wide and four feet deep, that is, eight feet wide and eight feet deep, which is equivalent to four times the ditch. What we are talking about here is Dayu's water control, which we have mentioned many times. Dayu's greatest achievement is water conservancy. How important is water conservancy? The importance is unparalleled.
Because in the era when Yao Shunyu lived, unlike now, ordinary people could live and work in peace and contentment. At that time, floods often flooded, and once flooded, ordinary people had no place to live. Crops can't be planted, have no food, have no place to live, and are washed away by floods at any time. The environment is very bad Without water treatment, the country can't be peaceful and the people can't live and work in peace.
They either live in caves or live in trees like birds and take a nap. Think about it. How do you live this life?
Dayu harnessed mountains and rivers, dug ditches, and completed the great cause of water control, so that people could build houses, live in fields with ditches, and irrigate farmland in case of floods and droughts. Ordinary people can live in a house and live a stable life without worrying about being washed away by the flood.
This is great! Do you know that?/You know what? The novels I read a few years ago, Yongzheng Dynasty, Kangxi Dynasty and Qianlong Dynasty. It says that there will be floods from time to time. Once there is a flood, especially in Henan and the Central Plains, it is easy to be flooded, and the people will either drown or wander around begging, which is incomparable.
Moreover, the Yellow River floods every nine years, especially when there is a flood. The Yellow River is so fierce that it can be said that in feudal times, everyone was afraid.
After the founding of New China, especially Chairman Mao, under such difficult circumstances, we embarked on water conservancy projects. Now it is known in the countryside that those ditches were basically built when we were young, so that the Yellow River would no longer flood, and the old people would plant farmland to ensure drought and flood. If there were no floods, the lives of ordinary people would be very good, which is a great achievement!
During the flood fighting, Dayu had three chances to pass by the house. Once, when his son was born, he heard his son fall to the ground crying, but he didn't enter the house.
Why? Just to consider how to manage this flood well and benefit people all over the world. During his reign, he was most worried about floods, building water conservancy projects and ensuring long-term stability.
So in the last sentence, Confucius said the above three aspects and returned to the beginning sigh. Dayu, I really can't find out what's wrong with you. You are the most perfect idol in my heart and the noblest saint of our Chinese nation.
It can be seen how important and lofty Confucius gave Dayu.
According to historical records, Dayu thrifty at home. That is to say, the king is the master of the world, and all his energy is spent on governing the country. The world is for the public and everyone is for the people. There is no idea of entertaining yourself.
As for my own home, I have very high demands on myself, especially simple and plain, and I can't eat well, dress well and live well.
It is said that he lives in a thatched cottage with no tiles on it. Of course, there may be no tiles at that time. The ground in front of the door is also dirt, which is not essentially different from ordinary people, unlike the later emperors who were all deep-walled courtyards.
Dayu is diligent and thrifty, regardless of his material comforts, and goes all out to serve the people. Who is perfect if such a person is not perfect?
Time is running out. Let me give you a brief introduction to Dayu's achievements. The first is water control, which is his greatest achievement. The second is to dig the dragon gate. The third is to hold a meeting in Tu Shan, that is, to hold a meeting of governors in Tu Tu to review their mistakes. This is generally regarded as a landmark event in the establishment of the Xia Dynasty in China. The fourth is to cast Jiuding.
As mentioned in the previous chapter, it is said that Kyushu is the representative. These Kyushu are Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou and Yongzhou.
These Jiuding are Jizhou Ding, Yanzhou Ding, Qingzhou Ding, Xuzhou Ding, Yangzhou Ding, Jingzhou Ding, Yuzhou Ding, Liangzhou Ding and Yongzhou Ding.
In fact, this symbolizes the state power.
After his death, he was buried in Shaoxing, Zhejiang. There is a tomb of Dayu, where I have been going to worship for the past nine years.
Well, this chapter is here, so I won't say much. In short, today's chapter is the last chapter of Taber's article, and we will learn the ninth article from tomorrow.
I hope you will carefully review what you have learned in this chapter 2 1, so that we can have a clear understanding of historical figures like Taber and Yao Shunyu!
Do you know why they are great and why they are so powerful? Then, can we also follow the example of the ancient sages and improve ourselves in our hearts?
Ok, tomorrow we will begin to learn Chapter 9 and Chapter 1.
Zi Han's words are profitable, while life and benevolence.
This chapter is ambiguous, so what does ambiguity mean? We'll talk tomorrow.
