Unjust wealth is like a cloud to me. "Confucius lived a hard life and thought that he enjoyed it. The wealth obtained by improper means is like floating clouds in the sky.
Although life is bitter, there is joy in it. Doesn't necessarily mean that only a lot of wealth can make you happy. Most wealthy families can't have a happy day.
Confucius would rather live a hard life than seize wealth with bad behavior. Although my family is not rich, we live a harmonious and happy life every day.
Mom and dad are changing their lives with their hard-working hands. Our family laughs every day.
My sister is a "pistachio", my father is a "funny monster", and my mother and I are "laughing ghosts". Although our family sometimes quarrels, they make up in a few minutes, unlike some rich families, they may not make up after more than ten years.
Just like the skin scalded by boiling water, if it is not treated and ointment is not applied, it will still leave ugly scars when it finally heals. Just like today's society, some people and leaders who are already very rich are still embezzling state property by improper means and confiscating it for public and private use.
There are also some poor people who can't stand the days of poverty and steal and rob to live a good life instead of creating a beautiful and happy life with their own hands. Confucius' moral words have benefited me a lot.
Life is dignified, and it doesn't want to see itself creating itself by improper means. It will be very angry.
"Ill-gotten wealth is as expensive as floating clouds to me." How philosophical this sentence is! It warns us that wealth acquired by improper means is like a cloud floating in the sky.
Must be "unjust, rich, and I am like a cloud."
2. My favorite sentence in The Analects of Confucius (about 300 words) is "Review the past and learn something new, you can be a teacher." Because politics comes from the Analects of Confucius.
For politics. There are two solutions to "review the past and learn the new" One is to "review the past and learn the new": review what you have learned and gain new insights from it; Secondly, "review the past and learn the new": on the one hand, we should review the stories of laws and regulations, on the other hand, we should strive to acquire new knowledge. It may be more complete to combine these two solutions: within our ability, read the classics as widely as possible, think about their meanings repeatedly, and review what we have heard regularly, so as to gain experience and understanding; And strive to absorb new knowledge; In this way, we can expand the field of human knowledge, and closing the door can also give the sages the meaning of the wisdom era. By integrating the old and the new in this way, we can call it "reviewing the old and learning the new". For the old knowledge you have learned, you will have new experiences and discoveries.
You will gain more, you will know more than others, so that you can become someone else's teacher in some way. In life, everything, every sentence has many aspects.
Different people have different understandings. Maybe you can only understand one of them for a while, but when you have experienced more and learned more, you may have a different understanding and experience when you go to see it again.
Life is so many sides. When you don't understand a word, do you choose to abandon or ponder? When you delve into it many times, you will have a different experience. When we are busy with a stage of things, we take advantage of the temporary busy time and look back at the dribs and drabs, only to find that we can't be slaves to work. Learn to think and summarize, and make your work full of persistence and growth.
Choose a sentence from eight Analects of Confucius and write a 300-word article. Let's talk about the sentence "Learning without thinking is useless, thinking without learning is dangerous". This sentence is simple and profound.
Of course, in fact, this sentence can be directly understood literally. If you just learn the so-called knowledge mechanically, you will only fall into the metaphysics without thinking, and you will not be able to integrate what you have learned and apply it correctly to your life and work.
Ordinary people's learning is the pursuit of knowledge and skills, and they are unwilling to understand the truth in depth. As long as they know, they will be satisfied and complacent, and they will never understand. This is learning without thinking. There are still some people who like to think, but if they like to think, they should study hard, because thinking without knowledge has great limitations and may even become paranoid.
It is difficult to make qualitative progress only by thinking and not constantly learning. Therefore, Confucius said in an article "Wei Linggong", "I try not to eat all day and stay up late. It's useless to think. It's better to study."
4. Expand the Analects of Confucius into a one-sentence composition. 500 Analects of Confucius was read from here.
In the first paragraph of the opening of The Analects of Confucius, Confucius said, "It's a pleasure to learn from time to time."? Is it not delightful to have friends coming from distant quarters? Ignorance and dissatisfaction are not gentlemen? "
I feel that Confucius' words should be preceded by the word if, which means learning from time to time. Isn't it pleasant? Is it not delightful to have friends coming from distant quarters? If people don't know or care, isn't that a gentleman? Why do you say that? Because these words are not Confucius' description of reality, but his assumption of hope. Confucius hoped that his students, colleagues and friends could learn from the times and even encourage themselves. I hope everyone can turn learning into a happy thing, take the initiative to learn with a positive attitude, and review the old and learn new things. Of course, on the other hand, learning is not a happy thing for ordinary people, and it may even be painful, which may have been the case since ancient times!
Throughout his life, Confucius should not be a person who pursues a quiet life. He took a group of fans to many places, not forced, and there were many places he wanted to go but failed. So once you don't go outside, staying at home for a long time will make you feel lifeless. If friends come from afar, it goes without saying that you are happy. Therefore, I'm afraid that Confucius not only has hope, but also has expectation for the fact that friends come from afar. However, there is one thing to note here. Don't misunderstand the word "le" after "xi" because of my explanation. The word "le" here refers to a gift, not a happy mood. At that time, the word "music" did not directly express the meaning of happiness, which was later extended. It is certainly pleasant to have friends coming from afar, and the happy mood must be expressed. How to express it? The first is a grand reception. Confucius' grand reception for friends from afar is not a big meal in a local high-end restaurant like we are now, but a ceremony and music of corresponding specifications. The meeting between individuals is unlikely to be beating gongs and drums, but there is a certain ceremony, which is reflected by music.
It must be noted that "friends" here are often interpreted as friends now, but they are not appropriate. Friends of the ancients and friends are two completely different concepts. The friend mentioned by the ancients has the meaning of our current friend. It is a person with emotional relationship except relatives, and can be said to be a second relative or a quasi-relative. But friends are not. Friends refer to people of the same kind, or, to put it mildly, people with similar interests, and have nothing to do with feelings. So be polite to your friends, especially those who are far away, and have fun. But friends are people close to their relatives, so naturally they don't need to be polite, otherwise they are pagans. The original soil and Confucius mentioned later are friends, not friends, so they don't pay attention to any etiquette when meeting, talk straight and even touch, but no one will care. Of course, many friends eventually develop into friends, and friends often find friends, so we finally confuse friends.
If a person thinks that he is very talented, but he has not been discovered by the society and has not been valued by the leaders, he will generally feel wronged and depressed, and he will feel that he has no talent, resulting in various negative performances. There are too many such people and things throughout the ages. If you are not unhappy because you have no talent, you will always accept it calmly, which is not something that ordinary people can do. This requires a lot of mind and tolerance, and it can be done without optimism. With such a great mind and tolerance, you are sure to show excellent manners. And those who have such a big mind and tolerance and show such excellent manners have certainly reached the height of a gentleman in Confucius' view, so it is said that "those who do not know but are not satisfied are not gentlemen." Confucius' education has always focused on cultivating gentlemen, hoping that all students can become gentlemen. Go on with reading of the analects of confucius, and you will feel it.
5. Write a short essay of about 300 words around The Analects. From the Analects of Confucius, we can see that the purpose of Confucius' education is to train social managers rather than executors, so he puts moral education in the first place rather than skill education as his educational direction.
Why is Confucius so obsessed with gentlemen and villains that he must make his students become gentlemen rather than villains? From the different categories of the above two, we can see that the social role and historical influence of a gentleman as a social manager are incomparable to those who perform specific technical work. In fact, let's take a look at The Analects, which is a record of the words and deeds of some main disciples of Confucius. These words and deeds can be recorded and compiled into The Analects of Confucius, which has been passed down to this day because the contributions of Confucius' disciples and his disciples are inseparable. The Analects of Confucius was probably compiled by Zeng Shen and his disciples, but there was no paper at that time, and the words were recorded on a carrier with a large volume but a small load, such as bamboo slips. It is not an easy task to finish an Analects of Confucius. If it is only Zeng Shen and some of his disciples, without the promotion and support of Confucius' students who are in the upper class and become social managers, that is, Zeng Shen's brothers and sisters, the Analects of Confucius will be difficult to popularize and spread even if it can barely be edited. Confucius' disciples were able to do it because of their strength.
It is precisely because gentlemen live in the management of society and have such immeasurable and lasting social influence that Confucius emphasizes the morality of gentlemen so much and has very high moral standards for gentlemen. Confucius is very clever. His education focuses on cultivating students into gentlemen and trying to avoid making them into villains. But the focus of our education today is knowledge and technology, and moral cultivation can be said to be lacking, so it is very necessary to review it. If Confucius did not make great efforts to do this, it would be impossible to train a group of students who became social managers and had an impact at that time and later. Without these students, Confucius' students were ordinary people, and he could not leave his name in history. And if these students have moral problems, even if Confucius goes down in history, I'm afraid he can only leave a bad name.
6. Write a 300-word article from one of the eight articles in The Analects. Let's talk about the sentence "Learning without thinking is useless, thinking without learning is dangerous".
The language of this sentence is very simple and profound. Of course, in fact, this sentence can be directly understood literally. If you just learn the so-called knowledge mechanically, you will only fall into the metaphysics without thinking, and you will not be able to integrate what you have learned and apply it correctly to your life and work. Ordinary people's learning is the pursuit of knowledge and skills, and they are unwilling to understand the truth in depth. As long as they know, they will be satisfied and complacent, and they will never understand. This is learning without thinking. There are still some people who like to think, but if they like to think, they should study hard, because thinking without knowledge has great limitations and may even become paranoid. It is difficult to make qualitative progress only by thinking and not constantly learning. Therefore, Confucius said in an article "Wei Linggong", "I try not to eat all day and stay up late. It's useless to think. It's better to study."
7. Spreading the Analects of Confucius into a composition 500 "The Analects of Confucius" Read the first paragraph of the Analects of Confucius from here and say, "Isn't it a pleasure to learn from time to time?" Is it not delightful to have friends coming from distant quarters? Ignorance and dissatisfaction are not gentlemen? "I feel that Confucius' words should be preceded by a word if, which is to learn from time to time. Isn't it very pleasant? Is it not delightful to have friends coming from distant quarters?
