Confucius said: being rich and expensive is what people want; If you don't follow the path, there is nowhere. Poverty and meanness are disgusting to people; Don't let nature take its course, don't go. Isn't it good to be famous if a gentleman goes to benevolence? There is a question mark here. A gentleman who has no final food will violate benevolence, and it is inevitable to expect more. Confucius said: being rich and expensive is what everyone pursues. If I get it immorally, I will never take it away; Poverty and meanness are all rejected. It is immoral to get rid of them, but I am willing to be poor and mean. How can a gentleman have a good reputation without benevolence? (There is a question mark here) A gentleman will not violate benevolence and righteousness in an instant. It must be like this in an emergency, and it must be like this in times of chaos and turmoil. Confucius said: I have money and can have it. Although I am a whipper, I do the same. If you can't ask for it, take it from me. (Introduction Chapter 12) (Confucius said: If wealth can be obtained, I will do it even if I am the gatekeeper of the market; If I can't get it, I'd better do what I like. Confucius said: the joy of eating and drinking, the joy of bending your arms and pillows. Unjust wealth is like a cloud to me. Confucius said: Eating coarse grains, drinking cold water and bending your arms as a pillow are all among them. In my opinion, getting rich by doing unjust things is expensive, like floating clouds. ) Confucius is not opposed to wealth, but he is opposed to obtaining wealth by immoral means. According to Yang Bojun's statistics, the word "Tao" has been used 60 times in The Analects of Confucius, except for Lu, Cheng (4 times), Skill (1 time), Speaking (2 times), Doing (2 times), Guiding (2 times), Governing (3 times) and so on. Most of them are terms used in Confucius' speeches. If you get rich by immoral means, Confucius is firmly opposed, preferring to be poor and humble. This view of Confucius has been simplified as "a gentleman loves money and takes it wisely" and "if he is poor, he will think about change", which has become a long-standing motto and idiom.
