? Introduction to Shuo Yuan Shuo Yuan (also known as Xinyuan) is an early series of historical essays in China. It takes Confucianism as the main body and gives consideration to Taoism, Mohism and Legalism. It not only inherits the style and structure of existing cultural classics, but also sets an example for future generations to compile such works. It was written in the fourth year of Hongtai (former 17), with 20 volumes and more than 700 chapters. The classified anecdotes from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty are summarized before each category, followed by comments. Among them, it is mainly about the words and deeds of philosophers.
Many chapters have philosophical aphorisms about governing the country and the people, and the rise and fall of the country. It is now compiled by Liu Xiang, who is known as "the originator of China Bibliography".
"Shuo Yuan" and "On Kindness" are arranged in Volume 11. Being good at talking means being good at talking. This volume records examples of skillfully getting others to accept their ideas.
? Author Liu Xiang
? Author's brief introduction Liu Xiang (77 BC-the first 6 years), formerly known as Liu Gengsheng, was born in Peijun Fengyi (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu). Liu Jiao's great-grandson, the king (half-brother of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang) and his later son, lived in Yangcheng. In Shuoyuan and New Preface, philosophers directly express political and academic views, which is actually an affirmation of the study of philosophers.
? Learn to understand the classical Chinese in this chapter: "Mr. Wang served Confucius for decades and left him after he completed his studies." At first, I felt that Zi Gong, a disciple of Confucius, seemed to show disrespect to Confucius. But after reading the whole paragraph, I realized that Zi Gong's speech was very tactful and complete. I admire Zi Gong's answer.
Zi Gong is really good at talking, and he is watertight.
Zi Gong said: "I am like a thirsty person. I go to rivers and seas to drink water and know how to quench my thirst." Confucius is like a river and a sea. How could I possibly know him? "
Confucius is a great river and sea. Although I have studied with others for decades, in the rivers and seas of Confucius, I only drink water to quench my thirst. How can we understand the real rivers and seas? !
The meaning is very accurate. My son Gong only knows the superficial things of others, but he doesn't know the real knowledge.
The reason why Liu Xiang put this "good theory" in the first place shows that Liu Xiang likes Zi Gong's answer very much.
Zigong is not only successful in his studies, but also good at doing business. He is the richest man among Confucius disciples and the originator of Confucian businessmen. The above conversation between Zi Gong and Zhao Jianzi shows Zi Gong's modesty, eagerness to learn and respect for teachers.
