The original sentence: "or:' What if good for evil?' Confucius said, "How can I repay you? "Repay evil with evil, repay evil with evil" —— Constitutional issues of the Analects of Confucius

Unexpectedly, Confucius' "good for evil" sentence was followed by another paragraph. What is that? Confucius said, "How to repay evil with good? Complain straight and repay kindness with kindness! " After reading it, I suddenly realized that we were all fooled by some Confucius fans who took it out of context!

What was the real situation at that time? One of Confucius' disciples asked him, "Master, I won't fight if someone hits me. Instead, I will treat him better, humiliate him to death with my morality and upbringing, and make him repent, okay? " Confucius said, "How to repay good for evil? When others are kind to you, you need to repay others with kindness; But since someone hit you, you should' sue directly' and pick up a brick and beat him up! "

2. People can make it, not make it known.

The original sentence: "Confucius said: Prosperity lies in poetry, courtesy lies in ceremony, and success lies in joy. Confucius said, "People can let it go, but they can't make it known." -"The Analects of Confucius Qin Bo"

Combined with the context of the context, we can easily get the correct clause method of this sentence: "Confucius said: based on poetry, ceremony and music." People can, let it go. No, let it go. "

Confucius' whole sentence means that poetry, ceremony and music are the basis of educating the people and must be done well. If the people master poetry, ceremonies and music, that's good! Let them play freely; If people can't play with these things, we should educate them and let them know and understand them. This is the original intention of Mr. Kong Lao, a great educator, to teach without distinction.

3, non-toxic, no husband

A small amount is not a gentleman, but a extravagant husband. -Some folk proverbs.

This proverb from the folk should be "less is not a gentleman, more is not a husband." This is a good sentence, which makes full use of duality. It shows a masculine and powerful spirit, and the image of an open-minded man is vividly on the paper. It's a pity that this word, which was passed down from mouth to mouth by the working people, changed its flavor when it reached the mouth of the so-called "gentleman" who studied hard in the court. Why?

This should start with the habits of ancient literati. In this couplet proverb, "degree" is the word "poison", which is awkward to read and easy to read like "poison". Those scholars who have high aesthetic requirements for music, when they are full and have nothing to do one day, take advantage of their own expertise and make their own decisions, and change this sentence to "no poison, no husband"

4 only women and villains are difficult to raise.

Original sentence: it is difficult to raise a woman, but if she is near, she will have no grandchildren, and if she is far away, she will have grievances. -"The Analects of Confucius Yang Huo"

Confucius' previous trip to the country was mentioned in Historical Records Confucius Family. Confucius "lived in the moon, Gong Ling and his wife rode in the same car, and Guan Yongqu participated in it, which made Confucius ride two times and show off the city." Confucius said,' I don't see good virtue as lewd.' So ugly, to defend. "

Let me translate this passage roughly. Mr. Kong Lao, a model worker of contemporary national education, came to Weiguo to study and recuperate at the invitation of the King of Weiguo. However, during this period, Mr. Kong Lao suddenly found himself fooled. People just use his identity to show off and raise themselves, but they don't really support him to come here to educate those who defend the country. Wei Linggong's wife, in particular, publicly showed off and belittled Confucius in order to improve her horizons.

Mr. Lao Kong was depressed, packed his bags and left Weiguo. He calmed down after he left. When he thought of the wife of the husband who defended the country, who was spoiled, arrogant and disturbing the people, he said with emotion: "Only women are hard to raise! If you are near, you will not be grandchildren, but if you are far away, you will complain. "

Look at Confucius' trip to defend the country, and everything will be understood. What he said was not that he was crazy and suddenly scolded all women, including his mother, but that he had a specific target, that is, Wei Linggong's wife Nanzi and others.

My life is limited, but so is my knowledge. With the limit, I'm almost finished-----"Zhuangzi, the Master of Health Preservation".

6. Care for each other

Original sentence: It is better to hold hands than to forget each other in Jianghu-Master Zhuangzi.

What a beautiful scene, although not the most ideal state of love. Even if the old lady in the neighborhood Committee has no education, this sentence will definitely be said. It's just that we didn't expect that there was a sentence behind it, "You can forget the Jianghu."

7. The heavens and the earth are ruthless, and everything is straw dogs.

Original sentence: Heaven and earth are heartless, taking all things as grass dogs, saints are heartless, and people are grass dogs-Tao Te Ching

If you want to say this sentence, most angry youths will tell you that this sentence means: "Heaven and earth are cruel and heartless, and they treat everything as humble pigs and dogs, just like those so-called saints who are above them." They also regard our people as something inferior to pigs and dogs! " A standard declaration of anarchy, dissatisfied with social standards. This sentence can be seen everywhere in all kinds of cynical articles and in the current third-rate online YY novels. The protagonist is usually weak and helpless, suffering from oppression and injustice, so one day he suddenly wakes up and shouts, "Heaven and earth are ruthless, and everything is a grass dog!" " Suddenly, enlightenment soared, or he became a Buddha, or he became a hegemon from a beggar that everyone could bully, and so on.

The fifth chapter of Tao Te Ching reads as follows:

Heaven and earth are ruthless, and everything is a grass dog; Saints are ruthless and treat people like pigs. Between heaven and earth, it is still charming.

Huh? Empty and unyielding, move out. It is better to stay in the middle than to listen more and count less.

The vernacular means:

There is no goodness in heaven and earth. It has no kindness. It treats everything like a dog and lets everything go. Sages have no compassion, but also treat people like pigs, leaving them to fend for themselves. Isn't it like a bellows between heaven and earth? Empty and inexhaustible, the more encouragement, the greater the wind, endless. Many laws and regulations are even more confusing and unworkable, so it is better to be quiet.

There is a saying in Laozi's Tao Te Ching: "Heaven and earth are heartless, and everything is a grass dog"-most people criticize Laozi for being insidious and despicable and seeing things too thoroughly. Because they explained that this sentence means that heaven and earth are indistinguishable, all things are born, and all things are played as straw dogs. This is a misunderstanding of Laozi's thought, or a deliberate misinterpretation for humor. Lao Tzu's "grass dog" originally meant a dog made of grass. Dogs were originally used as sacrifices in ancient times, such as cold pig heads, cows and sheep. Later, due to the evolution of social atmosphere, real dogs were no longer used, but a dog shape was tied with grass instead. It is equivalent to replacing a real pig's head with a pig's head made of noodles during worship. After straw dogs made it, before it was used for sacrifice, everyone attached great importance to it and dared not touch it casually; After the sacrifice, I threw it into the garbage.

Confucianism often says that there is benevolence in heaven and earth, which breeds everything; Lao Tzu said that heaven and earth are heartless. Everything in the world is born, and I don't want to get anything in return. People help others, usually with conditions, hoping to get something in return. Therefore, Lao Tzu said that man should imitate heaven and earth. Everything is born in heaven and earth, and he does not take credit; He is not proud that heaven and earth give life to all things; Heaven and earth have done good things, making everything endless. Whatever you can do, just do it. There are no conditions. Therefore, to truly become a saint, we must follow the spirit of heaven and earth and cultivate such a mind. Therefore, the real meaning of Laozi's "Heaven and Earth are heartless, and all things are grass dogs" is that everything in heaven and earth, like a lost grass dog, is not particularly good for people, but especially bad for other things. People are poor in everything because of their subjectivity and selfish ideas.
