The Analects is a classic of Confucianism, emphasizing benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faithfulness, loyalty and filial piety, self-cultivation, accession to the WTO, positive and enterprising, and governing the country and leveling the world. Taoism pays attention to the nature of Taoism and does nothing.
If we read the Analects a lot and read it for a long time, we can also read some Taoist flavors. Let's take an example.
The Analects of the Township Party: Sesi lifts up, and then sets. Said: "The female pheasant of the mountain beam, the time is right!.""The sub-road is a total of three smells.
In today's parlance, when the pheasant sees that people's faces are not good, she flutters her wings and flies, flying and circling in the air for a while, and then falls down and gathers on the mountain beam. Confucius said:"Look at the female pheasants on the mountain beams!It also knows how to do it!Know the right time!"When Zilu heard this, he bowed his hand to the female pheasant, but the female pheasant screamed a few times, vibrated her wings, and flew farther away.
The Analects of Advanced": Zi Lu, Zeng Hui, Ran You, and Gong Xihua sat down, and Zi said: "I am long in one day, and I am not in it." Ju Ze said, 'I don't know', if or know, then why what?Zilu took the lead and said: "The country of a thousand times, between the big countries, plus the division and brigade, because of the famine, because of it, compared with three years, can make you brave, and know the way." "Master, smack. "Please, what is it?".He said: "Sixty or seventy squares, such as fifty or sixty, ask for it, and compare it to three years, so that the people can be satisfied." Such as its courtesy, in order to be a gentleman. "Red!What is it?He said: "If you can't do it, you are willing to learn." The affairs of the temple, such as the meeting, Duan Zhangfu, are willing to be small. "Dot, what is it?"."Drummer, Keng, and Seser wrote, and said: "It is different from the writing of the three sons." Zi said: "Why does it hurt?".They also have their own aspirations. He said: "Those who are in the twilight of spring, the spring clothes are completed, the crown is five or six, the boy is six or seven, bathing, the wind is dancing, and the song returns." The master sighed and said, "I and the dots!.""The three sons are out, and Zeng Hui is the queen. Zeng Hui said: "What is the words of the husband and the third son?"Zi said: "They also have their own aspirations." He said, "Master, why do you want to?"He said: "For the sake of the country, his words are not allowed, which is why he is ashamed." "If you only ask for it, it is not a state, and it is also with.""An Jianfang.
Six. Seven. 10. If fifty or sixty is not a state?"Only the red is not the state, and it is also the same.""The temple will meet, what if it is not the princes?"Red is also small, who can be big?”
Confucius asked several ** around him to talk about their ambitions: Zilu has the ambition to make a medium-sized country strong;Ran Qiu wants to govern a small country and make the people rich;Gongxi Chi only wanted to play a role in the sacrifices of the imperial court or in the alliances of the princes. Unlike these three people, Zeng Dian's ideal was to go to the Yihe River to bathe with five or six adults and six or seven teenagers in the twilight of spring, and bathe in the spring breeze along the way after going ashore, singing songs and returning. Unexpectedly, when commenting on the aspirations of the four people, Confucius, who wanted to make a difference in governing the country and the country, actually appreciated Zeng's ambition even more. This shows that Confucius advocated self-cultivation and demanded that people devote themselves to serving others and the country, which did not mean that people should live a puritanical and boring life, but on the contrary, he advocated that life should be interesting. Although Confucius did not object to people seeking fame, in his view, the most ideal way of life is not to pursue fame, but to create a clean and harmonious environment and atmosphere in ordinary life, to pursue natural taste, human warmth, and to live in harmony with nature, to achieve a very high spiritual and aesthetic realm.
In the above two examples, Confucius aspired to live in harmony with nature, a pure, non-reckless, and simple lifestyle.
The Analects of Wei Linggong said:"Those who rule by inaction are also the same!What is the husband?Gong Ji is just to the south. "
Confucius said:"The one who can make the world peaceful by being quiet and inactive is probably Da Shun, right?What did he do?It's just that he is respectful, upright, and sits on the throne with his face south. "
This chapter talks about the rule of inaction, and the road is simple. Confucianism"Inaction"Unlike Taoism. Confucianism"Inaction"In fact, the monarch must first correct himself, deny himself, cultivate himself, and become a moral model"Inner Saint"After that, it will be naturally prescribed"Outer King", up and down, everyone is self-governing.
Personally, I believe that the ideal society should be one in which people should be comfortable and less distractedIf there is a deviation, then use moral probation;When there are serious problems in society, then use Legalist thinking and thunderbolt means to show the bodhisattva's heart.
