Zi said: ** into filial piety, out of the brother, cautious and faithful, pan love for all, and kind. If you have spare energy, you will learn the text. ”
Confucius said: As for the student, he is a filial son at home, and when he goes out, he loves his friends and other people, and loves him like a brother, and by extension, he loves the society, the country, and the world, and he must be cautious in dealing with the world, and he must be true to what he says, and he must be cautious in screening what others say to himself, and do not be deceived. "Learn literature", learn whatever knowledge you want to learn, where your interests are, and do what you can.
In ancient times, students were called **, younger brother is equal to brother, there is friendship between friends, and the child is the teacher who treats the student as his own child, so there is a saying of "one day as a teacher, a lifelong father", once the teacher-student relationship is established, ** must be responsible for the apprentice for a lifetime, just like always thinking about his own children, no matter how famous the apprentice is outside, he still does ** in front of the **, and respects the teacher like a father, which is our "teacher" spirit.
Back to the present, the relationship between teachers and students is a business behavior, teachers teach students to go to work to earn money, students pay to the school, in order to get a more beautiful degree, and after each takes what they need, the teacher gets off work, the students are out of class, they are strangers to each other, and it is rare to be able to say hello when they meet, which is influenced by Western business culture, and we are indifferent to our own "teacher" culture.
This sentence of Confucius tells us a direction of being a person and doing things, and it is also a direction of doing knowledge.
To be a filial son at home, parents are the closest people to us, but also the closest people, love them is the easiest for us to do, let you love another person casually, you are emotionally difficult to accept, it is difficult to do, so Confucius still takes care of students, let's start with the easiest thing to do, it is worth mentioning here that our focus here is "love" this feeling, this kind of glorious human feelings, to we "love" our parents from the heart, filial piety to parents, to experience thisConfucius called us filial sons, because loving our parents is the easiest way to experience the feeling of "loving someone", but some parents are not worthy of being parents, just give birth and don't care, and even abuse children and abandon children, we really can't love, we love what I love, love teachers, love people who have helped themselves, and we must experience the glorious side of human nature.
When we do "filial piety" at home, we can further try to "out of the brother", out of the house, to friends and people in general to be able to do friendship, like brothers and sisters to treat them, because at home we feel the feeling of loving a person through "filial piety", now we want to expand this feeling of love to friends, ordinary people and even the world, if everyone can do "out of the brother", then how harmonious the society should be!
It's a shame it's too hard to do! To this day, we are still creating food safety problems, toxic clothing problems, war problems...In order to make more money, you hurt me, I hurt you, Confucius still feels sorry for his students, afraid that his students will suffer, it makes no sense that my students take you as brothers, and you take my students as fools, so Confucius went on to say, "out of the brother" at the same time, we must "be cautious and faithful", we must be cautious in dealing with the world, we must be true to our words, and we must be cautious in screening what we say to others, and do not be deceived by others, that is, we must not have the heart of harming others, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable.
If you do the previous "filial piety", "brother", and "faith", you can try to "love the public", a wide range of lovers, which requires a great mind, love the world as you love yourself, this is already the mind of the king! It's amazing to be a man to do this!
Confucius said that this is not over, when you can do the above points, you should get close to people with knowledge and morality, and be friends with them, because when you do the points mentioned above, you are already a very learned and moral person, and those who are not learned and moral can make money and kill people, but you can't accept their behavior, and it is even more impossible to be friends with them, unless you turn them into people with knowledge and morality. It can be extended here, when all of us aspire to be friends with learned and moral people, people's hearts will develop on the good side, and the world will become better and better.
Filial piety when you enter", "brother when you go out", "Faith and faith", "Pan love for the public", "And kindness", these five points are all about being a person and doing things, as if students have done these five points, Confucius is very satisfied, and the rest of the "learning literature", that is, learning knowledge, it doesn't matter if you learn or not, you have extra energy, just go and learn! If you don't have the energy, you can not study. If Confucius is in modern times, he must have been sprayed by parents to the fullest, you only teach life, not knowledge, how can there be a teacher like you? But judging from our current social situation, Confucius deserves to be called Confucius! When a person who can't be a person has too much knowledge, technology will harm people, just like the current food safety problem, duck meat with flavoring can give you the taste of beef, do you dare to believe it? Then the duck meat can be sold as beef, which is to use the knowledge learned to reduce the cost without a bottom line in order to seek higher profits, without considering the personal safety of customers, and knowledge has become a tool for these people to make black money.
Confucius suggested that we should first learn to be a human being, and then learn Xi knowledge according to the situation.
