"The old gentleman said well, but 'the people can make it happen, but not the people can make it known' can't be broken like you."

This was naturally said by Ye Tang, of course, he didn't despise this old man, but wanted to discuss it with him, he spoke in a begging tone, polite, Ye Tang has always respected the profession of a teacher.

Besides, this old gentleman's knowledge is quite good, and he can interpret two sentence breaks, which is really powerful.

But his two interpretations are indeed correct now, but in the eyes of the ancients, they are completely inconsistent with the actual situation.

Is Confucius really 'benevolent'?

This is actually a question mark and quotation mark.

When Ye Tang said this, not only did the old man look over, but more than forty pairs of eyes in the classroom also looked at him.

The old man was a little angry, but when he saw that it was a half-old child outside the classroom, he laughed again, angry and funny.

"Well, come in, I want to hear what you have to say, and you dare to speak wildly." The old man's face was full of disdainful smiles, just a hairy child, what clever insights can he have!

Ye Tang was not angry, Shi Shiran walked in, and said with a smile: "Old man, 'the people can make it, but not make it known', in fact, not only can the sentence be broken into your two readings, but there are also three ways to break the sentence, but they are all a bit out of line, "The Analects of Taber" 'The people can make it, but not the next sentence is Zi said: "Good brave, poor, chaotic." People are not kind, the disease is very serious, and there is chaos. Yes and no? “

Ye Tang asked.

The old man nodded, this is indeed true, but he didn't care about this, but was very curious about the other three syntax breaks that Ye Tang said. Why I don't know. “

The old man actually doesn't believe it, the phrase 'the people can make it, but can't make it known' has always been interpreted like this, and his broken syntax has never been proposed in the cultural circles, it should be the first to be the first, how can there be three interpretations?

Really?

The old man was very skeptical, but he still had to be polite at this time, in case the other party really knew other syntax breaks, it would actually be good for him.

The old man himself was very fond of studying the Analects.

Ye Tang smiled, and originally wanted to explain why he couldn't break the sentence like that first, but at this time he had to say: "'The people can make it, but not the two readings of the old one', there is also 'The people can make it, and it can't be known.'" ''Can the people do it?'' No, you can know it. ''Can the people do it?'' No, let it be known. 'Three ways to break the sentence. “

There is a lot of controversy in the world about the sentence "the people can make it, but they can't make it known", and it is divided into six interpretations, but in Ye Tang's view, in fact, this first one is the most correct, "the people can make it, but not make it known", for the common people, we can only make them do it according to our will, but not make them understand why they do it.

This is in line with the "Analects of Taber" chapter, "The people can make it, but they can't make it known", and the next article says: Good brave, sick and poor, chaotic. People are not kind, the disease is very serious, and there is chaos. ‘

The meaning of this second part is that Confucius said, "If you like to be brave and hate yourself for being too poor, you will commit rebellion." If you persecute people or things that are not virtuous, you will also be in trouble. ”

In Confucius's view, if the common people are not willing to live in their own poor position, they will rise up and rebel, which is not conducive to social stability, and if those who are unkind are persecuted too much, they will also cause trouble. Therefore, the best way is to cultivate people's "benevolence" by "the people can make it happen, but not to know it".

Confucius has the content of "loving the people" in his thoughts, but this has a premise, he loves "obedient people", not "chaotic people".

If it is interpreted as 'the people can make it, let them do it, and if they do not approve of it, let them do it, and explain the reason to them if they do not approve of it, so that the understanding completely raises the level of Confucius' thought and modernizes the ancients, and it is also inconsistent with the Confucian thought reflected in the book "Analects".

In that era, Confucius would have thought that he should engage in democratic politics!

Totally!

Moreover, such a sentence break does not conform to the grammar of ancient Chinese, so Ye Tang couldn't help but speak out.

Of course, in fact, the latter statements are also said in the past, and each has its own reason, but in that case, Ye Tang felt that he and Zi said: "Good bravery, sickness, poverty, chaos." People are not kind, the disease is very serious, and there is chaos. "This is a bit of a contradiction in the next part.

In Ye Tang's view, the most appropriate is the syntax break of 'the people can make it, but not the know'.

Ye Tang said the other three kinds of broken syntax, and the old man's eyes widened immediately, these three broken syntax methods are similar to his two readings, which fully embody Confucius's idea of 'benevolence and love for others'.

Clever!

The old man walked up to Ye Tang with some excitement, his chin and mouth full of beard were shaking.

"Kid, it's all you...... Did you come up with it yourself? The old man was a little overexcited, and his voice was a little abnormal.

Ye Tang nodded, this must be admitted, and it is not okay not to admit it, otherwise if the old man also asks his teacher, it will hurt the balls.

"Okay, it's really young and promising!" The old man praised it, and his eyes were full of joy when he looked at Ye Tang at this time.

This little fellow seems to have worked the Analects, and has studied it more thoroughly and profoundly than he does, what a good boy!

"All self-study, you come with me," the old man slapped Ye Tang on the shoulder, then took his hand and left, leaving a group of students in the classroom.

Ye Tang broke out in a cold sweat, this old man, we just want to discuss it with you, where are you going?

Ye Tang almost didn't vomit blood, it seems that he has pitted himself this time.

was pulled out of the classroom by the old man, and walked directly into an office, there was no one inside, after sitting down, the old man poured a cup of tea for Ye Tang, and politely handed it over, Ye Tang quickly took it, it's a day, the old man is too polite, it's not like a good thing!

Ye Tang felt a little empty in his heart, but don't talk about "Analects", "University" and "The Mean", although he knows some, many of them are actually half-understood, and they will miss the stuffing when they discuss it.

In terms of ancient texts, Ye Tang really didn't know much.
