One day, he was plowing the field in rags, because he was already famous at that time. The monarch of Lu felt that such a famous man dressed in such shabby clothes was detrimental to the dignity and face of Lu. So he sent someone to Ceng Zi, saying that the king saw a famous scholar like you working in such shabby clothes, and he wanted to give you a fief, so he had the right to buy you some clothes. However, Ceng Zi was ungrateful. He is determined not to accept it. I can't help it. The king sent someone back. The king asked him to send it again, but Ceng Zi didn't accept it. He ran back and forth many times, but Ceng Zi insisted on not accepting it. The messenger said, sir, you didn't ask others for it, but others gave it to you. Why don't you accept it? Ceng Zi once said a very classic sentence. He said, I heard that people who accept gifts from others are afraid of offending the giver; People who give things to others will show arrogance to those who receive them. Then, even if the monarch gave me a fief and didn't show any arrogance to me, can I not be afraid to offend him? Later, it was known to Confucius, who said that Zeng Shen's words were enough to preserve his integrity.

Ceng Zi was ploughing the land in shabby clothes. The king of Lu sent someone to seal him a fief and said, "Now please put on your clothes.

"Ceng Zi resolute don't accept it. Send it again, but Ceng Zi still doesn't accept it.

The messenger said, "sir, this is not what you want. Someone gave it to you. Why don't you accept it? " Ceng Zi said: "I heard that people who accept gifts from others are afraid of offending the giver;" People who give things to others will show arrogance to those who receive them. Then, even if the monarch gives me a fief without showing any pride, can I not be afraid to offend him? " Ceng Zi finally didn't accept it.

Knowing this, Confucius said, "Zeng Shen's character is good enough to preserve integrity."

explain

Ceng Zi was working in the fields in rags. King Lu sent someone to see him and gave him a city as a fief. Said, "please use the income from this fief to decorate your clothes." Ceng Zi didn't accept it. The messenger came back and went again, but Ceng Zi still refused to accept it. The person sent said, "Sir, I didn't ask for anything from the monarch, but the monarch gave it to you himself. Why don't you accept it? " Ceng Zi said, "I have heard that if you accept something from others, you will be afraid of offending others. People who give things to others will inevitably show their arrogance. "Even if Lu Jun gave me a fief and was not arrogant to me, I would have to be careful everywhere for fear of offending him!" In the end, it was not accepted. Knowing this, Confucius said, "Zeng Shen's character is good enough to preserve integrity."

Understand; Understanding

Nothing is taken for granted for nothing. Ceng Zi made no contribution to Lu, and the monarch of Lu wanted to give him a town to decorate his appearance. Although this is the kindness of the monarch, it is his respect for Ceng Zi. However, it makes sense. Ceng Zi refused to accept such a generous gift and dared not accept it. What he said in reply to the person sent by Lu Jun was not aimed at anyone, but reflected the psychology and thinking that honest people will inevitably feel guilty because of an unusual gift. Mutual gifts between relatives and friends are based on friendship, and there is no need to refuse them too much, because there is nothing to return to each other. However, it would be no small matter if Lu Jun gave it as a fief. It is necessary to consider Ceng Zi's words and whether to accept them.

5. Ceng Zi's introducer (505~ 436 BC), surnamed Zeng, was born in Nanwucheng, Lu (now Pingyi County, Shandong Province, Jiaxiang County, Shandong Province, which is still inconclusive at present) at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, and was the fifth generation grandson of Prince Wu of Zhi State. Father (Zeng) and mother Shangguan Shi. Born in 505 BC (the 15th year of Zhou Dynasty, the 5th year of Lu Dinggong), died in 435 BC (the 5th year of Zhou Gaowang, the 32nd year), was born in Donglu, and moved to Wucheng. At the age of sixteen, he became a teacher of Confucius. He is diligent and studious, and his biography is quite famous Actively carry forward Confucianism and spread Confucianism. Kong Ji, the grandson of Confucius, studied in the Senate and taught it to Mencius. Therefore, Zeng Shen inherited Confucius' way and inspired Mencius School, which not only inherited Confucius' Confucianism, but also developed and made achievements. His political view of self-cultivation, self-restraint, filial piety-oriented and self-cultivation have influenced China for more than two thousand years, and still have valuable social significance and practical value, which is rich ideological and moral nutrition for building a harmonious society today. Zeng Shen is the main inheritor and disseminator of Confucius' theory and occupies an important position in Confucian culture. Zeng Shen finally entered the hall of great Confucianism with his achievements, and was called the five great saints together with Confucius, Mencius, Yan Zi (Yan Hui) and Zi Si.

His works include Confucian classics such as The University and The Book of Filial Piety, and later Confucianism honored him as a "saint". In the 27th year of Tang Kaiyuan (739), "Bao Bo" was posthumously sealed. In Song Dynasty, Dazhong Fu was given two years (1009), and it was named "Long Hou" (a work of deficient Qiu Hou). During the period from the early Yuan Dynasty to Shunzhi, he was named "Guo Longguo Zongshenggong". Ming Jiajing changed his name to "Zongsheng" in nine years. There are Zengzi Temple and Ceng Lin (tomb of Ceng Zi) in the south of Jiaxiang County, Jining City, Shandong Province, and Ceng Dian Tomb and Zeng Shen Tomb in Pingyi County, Linyi City, Shandong Province.

Zeng's descendants all regard Zeng Shen as the founder of the mountain.

6. Reading Classical Chinese Ceng Zi refused to accept the original text: Dress to cultivate one's morality, and Lu Jun sent someone to the city, saying, "Please mend clothes with this", but Ceng Zi refused. He repeatedly stressed that he was not bound by it. The messenger said, "Sir, if you don't want people, people will give them, but ④ you won't be affected?" Ceng Zi said: "I am afraid of what I have heard, and I am proud of what I have given;" Zi Long has talent, but I'm not arrogant. Can I not be afraid? "Finally, Confucius heard this and said," My son's words are enough to save the whole festival. "

The son was ploughing in rags in the field, and the monarch of Lu sent someone to seal him a fief. He refused to accept it and sent someone to seal it.

Ceng Zi still hasn't accepted. The messenger said, sir, this is not what you want, but someone gave it to you. Why not accept it?

Ceng Zi said, I heard that people who accept gifts from others will be afraid of offending the giver; People who give things to others will accept the east.

Westerners show arrogance. Then, even if the monarch gives me a fief without showing any arrogance to me, I can not be afraid of it.

Offend him? Confucius knew about it, and Confucius said that Zeng Shen's words were enough to preserve his integrity.
