After reading so many ideas about making friends in The Analects, I became interested in Confucius' friends, because The Analects mainly recorded Confucius' thoughts. I think Confucius should have many friends. Looking at the Analects of Confucius alone, I can only find two places. One place is "the original soil has disappeared." Confucius said,' Young without grandchildren, long without words, and old without death are thieves.' Pat him on the shin with a stick. A boy will die if he is absent. Or ask,' Who benefits, who benefits?' Confucius said:' I can see his position and walk with my husband. He doesn't pursue profit, but he also wants to be quick. Another place is the above-mentioned "friend died and didn't come back, saying' I'm going to the funeral'". "I don't know where to study the latter. The former seems to be only a person "reconciled" by Confucius, not a person "recognized" by him. Does Confucius have a "confidant" who simply agrees with value? Just look at the Analects of Confucius, it seems that there is no, Confucius said: "I know my husband!" " Zi Gong said, "What about knowing your son?" Confucius said, "I don't complain about heaven, I don't care about people, but I will arrive after school." It's great to know me! "(The constitutional issue) is the second best. Can any of Confucius' students play this role? Sometimes, the teacher-student relationship can also reach a kind of friend relationship. I can't help but notice Yan Hui and Zeng Shen.
Ten Articles of the Analects tells us that we must make up our minds and study persistently. We must be able to constantly innovate and bring forth the new; We should insist on reviewing what we have learned; Learn to think more and understand with your heart; Learn to ask others' opinions so as not to be shy about asking questions.
In life, we must constantly reflect on ourselves, maintain our own advantages, and see our own shortcomings in order to make continuous progress; We must also have the courage to challenge authority, innovate constantly and improve ourselves; To tell the truth, knowing is knowing, and not knowing is not knowing; Do as you would be done by.
