Ask Yu Boyu: "Do you have different opinions?"

Yes: "Not yet. After tasting independence, the carp rushed to the DPRK and said,' How about learning poetry?' Yes:' Not yet.' There is nothing to say if you don't study poetry. Carp retired to learn poetry. When independence comes again, the carp rushes to the DPRK and says,' Is it polite to learn? Yes:' Not yet.' Don't learn etiquette, can't stand. Carp dropped out of etiquette. Vince, both. "

Chen Kang retired and said happily, "If you ask one question, you will get three. You can smell poetry, you can smell gentlemen. "

Translation:

Chen Kang asked Apollo, "Have you been specially taught by the teacher?" "No," Apollo replied. Once he was standing alone in the yard, and I walked quickly across the yard. He said,' Have you studied the Book of Songs?' I answered' no', and he said,' If you don't study poetry, you can't speak well. I'm going back to study the Book of Songs.

Another day, he stood alone in the yard, and I walked quickly across the yard. He said, "Have you studied the Book of Rites?" I replied,' No,' and he said,' If you don't learn the Book of Rites, you won't know how to stand up. I'm going back to study the Book of Rites. I only know these two things. "

Chen Kang went back and said happily, "I asked one thing, but I learned three things, the meaning of learning poetry, the meaning of learning etiquette, and the truth that a gentleman is not partial to his son."

Extended data

The Analects of Confucius is one of the classic works of Confucian school, which was compiled by Confucius' disciples and their descendants. It mainly records the words and deeds of Confucius and his disciples, and embodies Confucius' political opinions, logical thoughts, moral concepts and educational principles.

The main contents of Confucius' moral education are "courtesy" and "benevolence". Among them, "courtesy" is the moral standard, and "benevolence" is the highest moral standard. "Rite" is the form of "benevolence" and "benevolence" is the content of "ceremony". With the spirit of "benevolence", "ceremony" can be truly enriched. In terms of moral cultivation, he put forward methods such as determination, self-denial, practice, introspection and courage to reform.

"Learning and knowing" is the dominant idea of Confucius' teaching thought. While advocating being shameless and eager to learn, he emphasized the combination of learning and thinking ("learning without thinking is useless, thinking without learning is dangerous"), and at the same time, he should "apply what he has learned" and apply what he has learned to social practice.
