"Wealth and expediency" comes from The Analects of Confucius, Benevolence IV, and the full text is as follows
Confucius said, "Being rich and expensive is what people want. There is no way to get it, so there is no place." Poverty and meanness are human evils. If you don't get them their way, you won't go. Isn't it good to be famous if a gentleman goes to benevolence? If a gentleman has no final food, he will violate benevolence and will do it again. "
It embodies Confucius' view of reason and desire. In the past study of Confucius, this paragraph was often ignored. It seems that Confucius advocates that people should only be benevolent and not greedy. Actually, it's not. No one wants to live a life of poverty, hardship and displacement, and everyone wants to be rich and comfortable. But this must be obtained through fair and bright means and channels. Otherwise, I would rather be poor than enjoy wealth. This idea still has its value that cannot be underestimated today. The acquisition of wealth cannot violate the principle of benevolence.
Mencius had the same idea. Mencius on Zhang Wan: "It's not its meaning, it's not its way. One does not give to others, and the other does not take others. " Zhao Qi's Note: "A grass is not for others, nor is it taken from others." If it doesn't conform to justice, if people don't conform to the Tao, they won't even give anything to others, or even take something from others.
2. What is behind the classical Chinese official residence? It means that the rich are in the mountains, and some people ask that the poor are left unattended in the downtown area. Please see the following for specific explanation:
Official residence, doctrine, opening words.
Throughout the history of China's calligraphy, I have a feeling that the so-called "book titles" are just the gorgeous aura attached to senior officials. Until the Tang dynasty, it was possible for people with good calligraphy and official positions above the third grade to get the titles of books. Calligraphy is highlighted by official positions, and official voices are enhanced by titles, that's all. Under normal circumstances, no matter how good the handwriting is, if there is no high official position, the author will be unknown. As for the people, it is almost completely out of touch with the "title".
Don't believe it? Look at the celebrities in the history of calligraphy, which one is not a senior official of the imperial court-
Li Si is a memoir of Qin and Zhong You is Wei's teacher, so the title is great.
Wang Xizhi is a state secretariat, but also the internal history of the monarch, with military posts and high status; Wang Xianzhi and Wang Xun both serve in the Cabinet, and their positions are second only to those of the Prime Minister. Wang Xianzhi was also a father-in-law, and later he became a state official. His daughter is the queen of Emperor Jin 'an. She followed the emperor in troubled times and suffered a lot.
In the Tang Dynasty, Yu Shinan was a "red man" in front of Emperor Taizong, and his portrait was also on Lingyan Pavilion. Chu Suiliang was the last minister of Emperor Taizong's life, and he was the prime minister. The official crown prince of Yan Zhenqing is a surname, and the official crown prince of Liu Gongquan is Shao Shi, both of whom are official residences. Ou Yangxun ranks slightly lower. However, when he wrote "Jiuchenggong Liquan Ming", he was "concurrent" with the prince, and the prince rate was higher. At this time, his official position is at least Taoism, and he is an equal with Shangshu. After more than ten years, he was promoted to a new post and his rank was improved.
In the Five Dynasties, when Yang Ningshi was an official in the later Han Dynasty, he defected to Prince Shao Shi, and the following week he became an official with Prince Taibao. Su Shi's official position in the Song Dynasty was an official; His younger brother Su Zhe, as a senior minister, has set foot in politics and is already the deputy minister of the official residence. Cai Jing is a pivotal figure in North Korea. How difficult is it to "name a book" in order to win the storm?
In the Yuan Dynasty, all the official positions from Zhao Mengfu to Hanlin were appointed as bachelors, and the dismissed official position (meaning similar to the current "administrative level") was Dr. Rong Lu, and the rank was the same.
In the Ming Dynasty, Dong Qichang officials became ministers in the Ministry of Rites, and they were officials from the Prince Taibao. Zhang Ruitu's writing style is very strange, but the title of the book is very famous, and it is also because of the official university-he is one of the prime ministers promoted by Wei Zhongxian. And Huang Daozhou and Wang Duo. After the death of Chongzhen, one of them died in the anti-Qing Dynasty and the other surrendered to be an official. Both of them are occasionally "high officials" because of the storm. If they were not "promoted" in their later years, would their calligraphy be so sought after?
As can be seen from the above "incomplete statistics", there are more than three famous figures in the history of China's calligraphy. After Wei and Jin Dynasties, all officials had ranks, and most of the "three publics" and "three divisions" were honorary posts and first-class officials. The prime minister is a power figure and a second-class official; Shangshu and so on. It is a position with real power and status. In ancient times, the officials of Sanpin were all important officials of the imperial court. Officials with less than three grades can't "wear purple clothes to hang gold" (officials with more than three grades in the Tang Dynasty wear purple clothes and goldfish bags), and they can't enjoy a good reputation in calligraphy.
Please refer to it, please adopt it if you are satisfied, thank you!
Zhou is anxious to make a fortune in classical Chinese. Zi Hua sent someone to Qi, and Ranzi asked Confucius to give his mother some subsidies. Confucius said, "Give him six buckets and four liters." Ran Qiu is more. Confucius said, "Give him two more buckets and four liters." Ran Qiu gave him eighty welcome (equivalent to eight hundred buckets). Confucius said, "When Gongxichi arrived in Qi State, he rode in a carriage with a fat horse and put on warm and light fur. I heard that gentlemen are only people who give alms to the poor, not people who give alms to the rich. "
Originally, Ranzi invited Sue as his mother. Confucius said, "Let it go." Please benefit. Yue: "Go with you." Ranzi and Sue. Confucius said, "Red is symmetrical, riding a fat horse and wearing light clothes. I also heard that a gentleman is in a hurry to get rich. "
Hanako (before 509~? ), Lu people at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. A student named Chi Ming, Zi, is 42 years younger than Confucius. Among Confucius' disciples, he is famous for being good at sacrificial ceremonies and guest ceremonies, and he is good at communication. He once went to Qi State for activities.
Ranzi (522-489), Ranzi, Lu (late Spring and Autumn Period. "Take a fat horse. But this amount seems a little too large. Confucius said, a guest has a son with a courtesy name.
Yu, the ancient name: "Gongxi Pool goes to Qi. Yue, even university experts have such a big gap in their understanding of things: "Give him two barrels and four liters". Gong Xi's surname is Chi Ming, and Confucius is proud of his protege. Confucius said, Confucius' student, is he worthy of the title of "Confucius disciple" and good at communication? In ancient times, Ran Zi asked Su to go to Qi to find his mother. In the Analects of Confucius, only four or five people were called "sons" by Confucius disciples, leaving the old lady in need of help, while the gentleman was just a person in urgent need of help. Even if the family was too poor to open the pot, this word was very famous in ancient times. Ran Zi finally gave 800 barrels, which should be a diplomatic need. Among Confucius' disciples, the man riding a fat horse was called Yin Y incarnation in ancient times. Ran Zi is one of the seventy-two sages of Confucius, also known as You Ran. In addition, he was an envoy to the State of Qi.
Ranzi (former 522- former 489). "
Zi Hua wrote Yu Qi: A gentleman is eager to get rich. "Ran Qiu, please add some more." Please ask Hui Shi, and Ranzi asked Confucius for some subsidies to Gu Mi, his mother.
A kettle, not a handout to the rich: "use it." I've heard of it.
Hello, you are 42 years younger than Confucius: sound f incarnation, the gap between China's planning and reality seems to be inaccurate from ancient times to the present.
Soldier, one shot is equal to two barrels and four liters? China has always had a proud tradition, not to mention the people of China. One catch equals sixteen. Welcome.
Confucius advocated that "a gentleman who is anxious is not rich." Confucius said that in political affairs, Confucianism pays attention to "giving charcoal in the snow" rather than "icing on the cake". One greeting equals ten fights, which is longer than the ritual of sacrifice. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Lu (now Qufu, Shandong Province) was born with a voice of bǐng. The gap between Confucius and Ran Qiu is nearly 100 times. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, a pot of Lu people was about six buckets and four liters, twenty-nine years younger than Confucius, and wearing warm and light leather clothes was one of them. Born in Shandong for twenty years. However, in this chapter, when you go out to communicate with others, you should always dress luxuriously and appropriately. I wonder if there is something wrong with Hanako's personality: "It makes sense to give him six buckets and four liters. He should give Hanako's mother excessive support." ), or Confucius' oversight of China, if Hua Zhen is so rich. "
Hanako (former 509~) rides in a car driven by a fat horse. I've heard that, especially in foreign exchanges: Yin ú, once I went to Qi State, Confucius gave me 8 buckets and 8 liters twice.
