Zhong Ni said, "What a coincidence! Is there evil? "
He said, "I have an idea. May and June, if you don't fall, you will lose (pronounced as Zi and Zhu, these two words are very small units of weight in ancient times, indicating that they are very small); If you are tired of three, you will lose eleven; It's a pity to be tired. I was in a barren land, and I was paralyzed (I was unconscious twice); I hold my arm like a wooden branch; Although the world is big and there are many things, we only know its wings. I don't object, I don't pat the wings of everything, why not! "
Confucius pointed to his disciples and said, "No matter what your ambition is, it is condensed in God, and those who stoop are called it!" "
Translation:
Confucius went to Chu and walked in a forest. He saw a hunchback catching cicadas, just like picking them up. Confucius (stepped forward) asked, "How clever you are! Is there any trick? " (Humpback whale) replied, "I have a knack. Practiced for five or six months. There are two clay balls stacked on the club head. These two mud balls will not fall off and then stick to cicadas, so the probability of leakage is very small. Later, three mud pills were stacked on the pole head, and then the cicada was taken out, and the chance of missing was only one in ten. Later, five mud balls were stacked on the pole head, but they still didn't fall off. It was as easy as picking up the cicada on the ground. My body stood there, like a broken pile without feeling; My raised arm is like a dead branch; Although the world is big and all-inclusive, (at this time) and (I) only know cicadas. I don't look back or sideways, and I don't change my attention to cicadas because of everything. What else can't I get? "
Confucius turned to his disciples and said, "If you don't get distracted, you will have strong cohesion. I'm afraid you're talking about this hunchbacked old man! "
Moral:
As long as you do everything carefully for a year and a half, temporarily restrain and restrain other temptations and hobbies, form the habit of not being disturbed by the outside world, and concentrate on doing one thing, you will certainly achieve good results. Although the rickety old man's physique can't be compared with the average person, he is far above the average person in catching cicadas, mainly because he is single-minded and hard-working.
2. What are the answers to the 30-word classical Chinese story about Confucius?
1. Once, Lutz asked what would happen to Confucius after his death. Confucius said: "The problem of being alive has not been solved. What should I do after I die? " Lutz asked again, "How to treat ghosts and gods?" Confucius said: "We haven't been kind to people, let alone to ghosts and gods!" That's how Confucius attached importance to practical problems and didn't like empty theories. Confucius also seldom talked about strange, powerful, chaotic, ghosts and gods. In life, if it is too high and unrealistic, Confucius will not allow it. Zi Gong once said, "I don't want others to be nice to me, so I don't want to be nice to others." Confucius said: "here, this is not what you can do now!"
2. When one of Confucius' students was cooking porridge, he found something dirty fell into the pot. He quickly scooped it up with a spoon and was about to dump it, when it suddenly occurred to him that a porridge and a meal were hard to come by. So I ate it. It happened that Confucius walked into the kitchen and thought he was stealing vegetables, so he taught the classmate who was in charge of cooking. After the explanation, everyone suddenly realized. Confucius said with emotion, "What I saw with my own eyes is not true, let alone hearsay?"
3. Confucius is very modest and works hard in his studies. Confucius once learned to play the piano with his teacher. The name of this song is Cao. Confucius practiced hard for many days, and Shi Xiangzi said, "That's enough." Confucius said, "I have mastered the playing method of this piece of music, but I haven't counted it." After practicing for several days, Shi Xiangzi said, "Well, you can count on it." But Confucius still said, "No, I didn't get it." After a considerable period of time, Shi Xiangzi thought it was really ok this time, but Confucius still felt that he didn't bend the bullet well. Therefore, Confucius repeatedly studied and understood the connotation of Qin Le until he saw the image of King Wen expressed in music.
Confucius learned piano art from Xiangzi and played the same tune for ten days in a row. Xiangzi asked him to change the tune, and Confucius said, "I haven't mastered the skill of playing the piano yet." Confucius continued to play the same piece of music for three consecutive times on the grounds that he didn't know the artistic conception of the piece and the composer. After a while, Confucius finally said, "I know that composer." He is dark-skinned, tall and far-sighted, like a king who rules in all directions. Who but King Wen can do this! " Xiangzi deeply worshipped Confucius and said, "My teacher once said that this piano piece is King Cao Wen." All undertakings, knowledge, skills and virtues in the world will not achieve anything if they are not single-minded, so Confucius said, "People without perseverance can't be witch doctors."
5. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius worked as a coachman when he was young, and learned many life truths from the "bringing back the dead" in martial arts, such as "haste makes waste". Haste makes waste, but seeing small profits can't be a big deal. "He told these truths to his disciples on his way around the world. Lutz laughed at him for hitting a wall everywhere in politics. He used haste makes waste.
6. On one occasion, Confucius was separated from his disciples in Zheng State, and he stayed at the east gate in a daze. Someone in the state of Zheng said to Zigong, "There is a man at the east gate, with a forehead like Yao, a neck like, shoulders like a child, but three inches below his waist." Look at his tired appearance, just like a "lost dog". Zi Gong told the story to Confucius in detail. Confucius smiled indifferently. That's true!
Introduction to Confucius:
Confucius (founder of Confucianism)
Confucius (September 28, 55 BC1year-April 479 BC 1 1 year), surnamed Kong, was born in Qufu, Shandong Province, and his ancestral home was Li Yi (now Xiayi, Henan Province). He was a famous thinker and educator in China. Confucius initiated the atmosphere of private lectures and was the founder of Confucianism.
Educated by Laozi, Confucius led some disciples around the world for fourteen years. In his later years, he studied six classics: Poetry, Shu, Li, Yue, Yi and Chunqiu. According to legend, he has 3,000 disciples, including 72 sages. After the death of Confucius, his disciples and their re-disciples recorded the words and deeds, quotations and thoughts of Confucius and his disciples, and compiled the Confucian classic The Analects.
In ancient times, Confucius was regarded as a "saint of heaven" and a "muduo of heaven". He was one of the most knowledgeable scholars in the society at that time, and was honored by the rulers of later generations as the saint, the most holy and the most holy teacher of Confucius, the master of Wang Xuan and the teacher of all ages. His Confucianism has a far-reaching influence on China and the world, and Confucius is listed as the first of the "Top Ten Cultural Celebrities in the World". Confucius is regarded as the ancestor of Confucianism (non-Confucianism). With the expansion of Confucius' influence, Confucius' sacrifice once became a "great sacrifice" at the same level as the ancestor of God and country.
3. The story of Laozi, Mencius and Confucius (ancient prose) Lao Dan lived on Sundays for a long time, and he was more knowledgeable and famous.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, learned people were called "Zi" to show respect. Therefore, people call Lao Dan "Lao Zi". One day in 523 BC, Confucius said to his disciple Nangong Shu Jing, "The Tibetan room of the Zhou Dynasty guarded Lao Dan, making the past serve the present, knowing the source of rites and music and the importance of virtue.
I want to ask Zhou for advice today. Would you like to go with me? "The nangongshan ShuJing readily agreed, and immediately report to LuJun. Lujun was allowed to do it.
Send a car, two horses, one son and one imperial palace, and Nangong Jingshu will accompany Confucius. I'm glad to see Kong Qiu coming all the way. After the professor left, I invited Kong Qiu to visit Dr. Changhong.
Changhong is good at music, giving Kong Qiu music rules and music theory; Kong Qiu's introduction of sacrificial ceremonies, his inspection of missionary sites and the etiquette of temple fairs made Kong Qiu sigh and benefited a lot. Stay a few days.
Kong Qiu said goodbye to Lao Tzu. Lao Dan sent him out of the building with a message: "I heard that the rich give people money and justice gives people words.
I am neither rich nor expensive, and I have no money to send you; I'd like to send you a few words. In today's world, smart and knowledgeable people are almost dead, because they are good at mocking others' mistakes; Those who talk eloquently and are smart, are always in trouble, just to publicize the evil of others.
As a son, don't think highly of yourself; As a minister, don't put yourself first. I hope you will remember. Kong Qiu nodded: "Disciples must keep it in mind!" ! "Go to the bank of the Yellow River, I saw the river surging, the turbid waves rolling, as fierce as Ma Benteng, and its sound as roaring and thundering.
Standing on the shore, Kong Qiu sighed: "The deceased is like a husband, staying up all night! The water of the Yellow River is rushing, and people's years have passed. The river doesn't know where to go, and life doesn't know where to go? " After listening to Kong Qiu, Lao Tzu said, "Between heaven and earth, life and heaven and earth are one. Heaven and earth are natural things; Life is also a natural thing; People are young, young, strong and old, just like the alternation of spring, summer, autumn and winter in heaven and earth. What is sadness? Born in nature, died in nature, let it be natural, and nature is not chaotic; If you don't let nature run, you will be bound by nature.
If fame exists in your heart, you will feel anxious; If you want to stay in your heart, you will have more troubles. "Kong Qiu explained," I'm afraid I can't do it. I don't uphold justice, the war is not over, and the national chaos has not been cured. Therefore, life is too short to contribute to the world and sigh for the people. "Lao Tzu said," Heaven and earth have no push, the sun and the moon are self-evident, the stars are not listed, and animals are self-ordered. It's natural. Why bother? People are born as human beings, so they have nothing, so sharing weal and woe means that there is a natural principle and a natural way.
Only by following the principles and ways of nature can the country be autonomous and the people be self-righteous. Why should we talk about rites and music and advocate benevolence and righteousness? It is far from human nature to talk about rites and music and advocate benevolence and righteousness! Just like those who beat drums to escape, the louder the drums, the farther they escape! After a pause, Lao Tzu pointed to the Yellow River and said to Kong Qiu, "Why don't you learn the greatness of water?" "Kong Qiu said," what is the virtue of water? "Lao Tzu said:" Good nature is like water: water is good for all things without fighting, which is the virtue of humility; "So, Jiang Hai can be the king of all the valleys. If he is good at it, he can be the king of all the valleys. The water in the world is not weak, and the strong can't win, which is also gentleness; Therefore, softness wins, and weakness wins.
Because it has nothing, it can be integrated, so it can be seen that teaching without words and inaction are also beneficial. After listening to this, Kong Qiu suddenly realized: "Sir, this sentence made me suddenly enlightened: everyone is in the world, and the water is alone; Everyone is easy, and water is alone; Everyone is clean, and water is alone.
Who can contend with the evil people do? This is why it is good. "I nodded and said," you can teach me! You can remember: if you don't fight against the world, no one in the world can compete with it, which is to imitate Shuide.
Water is more than Tao: Tao is everywhere, water has no disadvantages, avoid heights, never oppose, and be good at its place; The empty place is quiet and unfathomable. Goodness is deep; Losses are inexhaustible, efforts are unrequited, and kindness is also benevolent; You must rotate, you must fold, you must stop, you must flow, you must be kind and trustworthy; Wash the filth, smooth it out, and handle things well; There is a load floating, a clear reference, a strong attack, and a good use of energy; It's also good for you to stay up all night and fall behind.
Therefore, saints can do whatever they want, and saints should change because of things; Wise men govern by doing nothing, while great men live in harmony with the weather. After you come here, besides your desire for appearance, you should be arrogant in words.
Otherwise, people have not heard it before, and the wind has not moved. Who dares to use you? Kong Qiu said, "Mr. Wang's words came from the heart and entered the disciple's heart and spleen. Disciples have benefited a lot and will never forget it. Disciples will be obedient and tirelessly grateful to the teacher for his kindness. "
Say that finish, say goodbye to Lao zi, get on the bus with uncle Nangong, and reluctantly head for Lu. When they returned to Lu, the disciples asked, "Did you go to see Lao Zi?" Confucius said, "See it!" The disciple asked.
"What about Lao Zi?" Confucius said, "Bird, I know it can fly; Fish, I know it can swim; Beast, I know it can walk. Pedestrians can be tied with nets, swimmers can catch them with hooks, and fliers can shoot them with arrows. As for dragons, I don't know why. Dragon riding storm for nine days! I can see Lao Tzu, but is he still a dragon? Knowledge is unfathomable, and interest is high and difficult to know; As a snake bends and stretches at any time, as a dragon changes in time.
Lao Dan, you are my teacher! Mencius said: "The weather is not as good as the geographical position, and the geographical position is not as good as human harmony. The city of three miles, the country of seven miles, was invincible when attacked by the Lord of the Rings.
If the husband attacks it, it will be the right time, and if it is invincible, it will be the right place. The city is not too high, the pond is not too deep, the army is not very profitable, and there is not much rice, so it is not as good as people and peace.
Therefore, the people of the territory do not take the border, consolidate the country without the danger of mountains and rivers, and conquer the world without the benefit of mutiny. Those who gain the Tao help more, and those who lose the Tao help less. When there is little help, relatives will be there; Help more, and the world will be at peace.
Take advantage of the world and attack your relatives. A gentleman wins without fighting. Mencius will visit the king, and the king will send someone to say, "I meet people. I have a cold and can't have wind." If I don't know, I can see it. " Right: "Unfortunately, I am too sick to build a dynasty."
Hang it in Dongguo tomorrow. Sun Chou said, "I was sick in the past, but I'm hanging today, or not?" He said, "If you were sick in the past, you will get better today. If so, why not stick to it? " When the king asked people to ask questions and ask for a doctor, Meng Zhongzi said to him, "In the past, there was a king who was in command and worried about salary, so it was impossible to establish a dynasty. Now, the disease is getting worse and worse, and we want to build a dynasty. I don't know if I can. " Make a few people want to go on the road.
4. The story of Confucius and his disciples According to historical records-Confucius, Confucius' ancestors were descendants of the Shang Dynasty. After the destruction of Shang Dynasty in Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Chengwang was made an ordinary brother, and Wei Zi was made a loyal minister in Song Dynasty. Its capital is Shangqiu (now Shangqiu, Henan). After Wei died, his younger brother Wei Zhong succeeded to the throne. Wei Zhong was the ancestor of Confucius. The sixth ancestor of Confucius was Kong Fujia, a doctor in the Song Dynasty. He was a fu who was killed in the civil strife in the imperial court. After Confucius, his descendants began to take Confucius as their surname. His great-grandfather, Kong's uncle, fled from Song to Lu to escape the civil strife in Song. From then on, Kong settled in Qiaoyi and became a native of Lu.
Confucius's father is Ge (a word, Ge is a name, he is a voice), and his mother is Yan Zhizai. Shu was a famous warrior of Lu at that time. His character is outstanding. He made two military exploits. He is famous for holding the hanging door with one arm to let the troops who rushed into the city retreat. He used to be a doctor at Qiaoyi. Shu married Shi first, gave birth to nine daughters and no children. He married another concubine and gave birth to a son named Bernie, also named Meng Pi. Meng Pi's foot had a problem, which was not suitable for inheritance according to the etiquette at that time, so Confucius, a young woman, was born in Yan Zhi.
Confucius was born in Changping Township (now southeast of Qufu City, Shandong Province) in 55 1 year BC (the 22nd year of Duke Xiang of Lu). Because my parents prayed for the birth of a child on Niqiu Mountain, they named it Qiuzi. Confucius died when he was three years old, and his mother and son were not accepted by Shi (Shu's wife). Yan Zhizhai, the mother of Confucius, had to move to Qufu Que with Confucius and Meng Pi, and her life was difficult. 17 years old, Confucius' mother Yan zhizai died, and he served three years of mourning.
Confucius/kloc-married the daughter of an official in the song dynasty when he was 0/9 years old. A year later, the official gave birth to a son. Zhao Gong sent someone to congratulate him. Confucius felt very honored, so he named his son carp, Apollo. In the tenth year of Lu Aigong (485 BC), Mrs. Confucius died.
According to Confucius' family stories and historical records, in his youth, Confucius used to be a "Commissioner" (a small official in charge of warehouses) and a "farmer" (a small official in charge of pastures), and everything was almost perfect. Because of Confucius' extraordinary ability and knowledge, he was quickly promoted. By the time Confucius was 5 1 year old, he was appointed as Zhongduzai (equivalent to the current mayor), and his political achievements were very remarkable; One year later, he was promoted to Sikong (equivalent to the current Minister of Construction) and later to Dashikou (equivalent to the director of the local public security department and the director of the procuratorate in the Supreme People's Court); At the age of 56, he was promoted to acting prime minister and concurrently served as foreign minister (Confucius was promoted too quickly to meet the promotion standards of officials at that time, so he was acting prime minister). When Confucius was in power, he immediately killed Shao Zhengmao, a traitor who disturbed political affairs, making him famous for a while. It can be seen that Confucius is not a pedantic pedant as some people think in later generations, but a man who dares to act without being violent. Only three months after Confucius came to power, all aspects of internal affairs and foreign affairs in Shandong have been greatly improved, the national strength has greatly increased, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the social order is very good (the history book says, "the road is not picked up, the door is not closed at night"), and traitors and unruly people have fled; At the same time, Confucius also forced Qi to return the large territory occupied by Lu in the war to Lu through diplomatic means. 12 years, in order to weaken the Third Ring Road (the third-generation leader and uncle Heshi were called the Third Ring Road because they were three grandchildren), the state power of Lu at that time was actually in their hands, and some retainers of the Third Ring Road also controlled the Third Ring Road to varying degrees), and Confucius took measures to reduce the Third Ring Road (that is, demolishing the castle built by the Third Ring Road). Later, the action of lowering the three capitals failed, but it played a considerable role in strengthening the office. Confucius' outstanding ruling ability made Qi feel threatened, so in order to crowd out Confucius, he sent 120 good horses and 80 female musicians to the princes of Lu. The monarch of Lu was addicted to this and did not go to court for three days in a row. On the day of the sacrifice, he forgot to share the meat (which was a very serious thing at that time). Disappointed with Lu Jun, Confucius left Lu and began to travel around the world. Confucius has been to Wei, Song, Cao, Qi, Chen, Cai, Chu and other countries. Although Confucius is respected all over the world, his political ideas of taking benevolence as the core, taking propriety as the order, demanding harmony and cherishing people's strength are incompatible with the hegemony pursued by the rulers at that time, and Confucius has never been used to promote his political ideals. Confucius returned to Lu at the age of 68, and the monarch of Lu was quite polite to Confucius, but he still didn't reuse Confucius.
Confucius' political ideal could not be realized at that time, but Confucius' greatness lies in "knowing that it is not feasible", and he pinned his political ideal on future generations. Confucius therefore stopped direct political activities after returning to Lu, and continued to sort out cultural classics and revise the Six Classics. On the one hand, he recruited disciples and carried out cultural and educational undertakings on a large scale. According to legend, he taught more than 3,000 disciples, among whom 72 were proficient in Six Arts.
In his later years, Yan Hui, the most proud disciple of Confucius, unfortunately died young. His favorite pupil, Lu, died of civil strife in Wei, and his son died young. Under the "Tao can't work" and this series of blows, the author suspects that Confucius' health has been greatly damaged. Confucius died on February 1 1 in 479 BC at the age of 73 (72).
5. What does the story of Confucius mean when it involves the ancient prose of animals? In ancient books and historical legends, Confucius is the incarnation of Kirin. It is recorded in "Notes on Picking Up the Legacy": "When the master was not born, Lin spit out a jade book at Queli's house, saying,' The son of a refined water is king after his decline.' "Yan Zhizhai, the mother of Confucius, is very wise." It is a miracle to know. Therefore, it is embroidered. "Water is virtue, and Wang is vegetarian." It means Confucius is the uncrowned king. This story is the origin of the legends of "Lin Tu Yu Shu" and "Kirin Songzi". About the birth of Confucius, Juye has the legend of "Confucius' Mother Dream Forest": Confucius' ancestral home is in Shangqiu, Henan Province, and Juye is the only way from Shangqiu to Qufu. Once, Confucius' mother Yan Zhizhai returned to China from Shangqiu with her family. She suggested resting here. She sat under a tree in the forest and took a nap. Suddenly, she dreamed that Kirin was in her arms, woke up feeling pregnant and gave birth to Confucius eleven months later. Two days before Confucius was born, Kirin sent three volumes of jade books to Qufu Que. There is such a record in the Ming edition of Juye County Records: "There is Qiao's Mountain in the south of Juye, and it is said that Lin was born in Qiao's Mountain." The most influential story is "Hunting the Forest in the Western Expedition". In the later years of Confucius, Kirin appeared again. Historical Records Confucius Family records: "In the spring of 14th year, Lu Aigong hunted Xiao Ye, but his uncle Sun Shi thought it was ominous. After reading it, he said, "Lin also took it." . Xiao Ye is today's Juye County. "Why did you come?" Wipe your face with tears. Zi Gong asked, "Master, why are you crying?" Confucius said:' The arrival of Lin is also a wise gentleman. If there is an accident, I will be hurt. "Confucius believes that Kirin is a spirit beast. Only when the king is wise will there be peace and prosperity. Now the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty is declining, and the world is in chaos. How did Kirin appear? Its appearance and death do not bode well. I am afraid that my country will die and my own life will come to an end. So he ordered his disciples to bury it on the spot and built a big grave, which is now the tomb of Kirin. Qilin Tomb is located in the east of Juye County, 3 miles northwest of Huolinji Village, Qilin Town, 12, and was announced as a county-level key cultural relics protection unit in 1979. According to the records of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Confucius, who was 7 1 year-old, found it difficult to control his feelings after burying Kirin. The Spring and Autumn Annals edited by him ended in this year. The last sentence of the Spring and Autumn Annals is "(Lu) declined in four years, and in the spring, it was captured in the west". Since then, Confucius has no intention of writing. Two years later, he died of grief. Because Confucius was born in a dream and died in the forest, the appearance of Kirin ran through Confucius' life, so the book Spring and Autumn Annals came into being later. Or "Lin Jing". Kirin became the incarnation of Confucius and was honored as a "god beast" from now on. In Yuan Dynasty, Juye had a story about Confucius and Kirin. According to the Records of Juye County, from Yuan to, Juye had a county named Yin, who was the 53rd grandson of Confucius. He has been an official here for three years, "please leave a letter" and settled here in Kirin. The family moved to Jixingtan, more than 20 miles south of the county seat, which is Konglou Village in Dayi Town today. A few years later, Chunqiu Academy was changed to Dayi Academy, which means "slightly expressing meaning". Every spring and autumn, he comes to Qilintai to worship his ancestors. He believes that there is not only a unicorn buried here, but also the soul of Confucius. The so-called "ancestors must live here".
