Chapter 65: A Gentleman Is Not a Weapon

The next day, Lin Yu finished breakfast beautifully and started a day's study, and the lecturer also began the topic he was going to teach today: Zi said: A gentleman is not a weapon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

I was just teased by the system yesterday, and today I was shocked by the topic of the lecturer. As for "a gentleman is not a tool", the textbook explanation is: a gentleman is not like an instrument, and his role is limited to a certain aspect. What did Confucius mean by this? Because "for politics" is a generalist, and a generalist must understand everything. "Not a weapon" means that he does not become a certain stereotyped person, and a person who is in politics must be able to understand everything from ancient to modern China and abroad. In the "Analects", the chapter "for politics" is to explain the truth of politics in this regard, in other words: "Yunwen Yunwu", which is also the explanation of "a gentleman is not a weapon".

The gentleman is not a weapon, as the literal meaning is, "a gentleman is not a thing." In modern times, this sentence is a very standard curse: you are not a thing! Woohoo, lecturer, you're so good at this topic.

Lin Yuzhi looked left and right, everyone was very calm, and there was no abnormality.

The lecturer also said, "Today with this as the topic, you can argue with it."

This is to argue whether the gentleman is a tool or not, a thing or not, no matter how you think about it, it's a pit!

In fact, what this debate is about is whether a gentleman should be erudite or focused?

I only heard a scholar say, "Fish, I want it, and I want it." You can't have both, and you can't give up the fish and take the bear's paw. Gentlemen don't have instruments. "This is to support UBM.

Another scholar said, "Confucius climbed the East Mountain and Xiaolu, climbed Mount Tai and the small world, so it is difficult for those who view the sea to be water, and it is difficult for those who swim in the gate of the saint to speak." "It's a determination not to give up until a certain level.

Another humane "The song is complete, the vain is straight, the depression is profitable, the new is new, the less is gained, and the more is confused." It is a saint holding one for the world. This is the meaning of the Tao, this is to go with the flow!

......

The scholars have different views, you come and go, express their opinions, quote scriptures, speak freely, and the scene is very lively.

Lin Yuzhi also has his own views on this issue.

Lin Yu's way is "erudition, interrogation, prudence, discernment, and practice." ”

This is a famous sentence about learning in the 20th chapter of the "The Mean", which is said to have been written by Zisi, a descendant of Confucius, which means to study extensively and seek advice in detail. It is necessary to choose a good goal and pursue it persistently: study extensively, inquire in detail, think carefully, clearly discern, and implement it effectively.

This point of view is also very consistent with Lin Yuzhi's attitude towards doing things.

The lecturer was deeply gratified by the opinions expressed by everyone, and then elaborated on their personal views, and finally said, "Each of you will write an article based on this."

This topic has been explained very clearly, but the words and sentences of the article and the discussion of quoting scriptures and classics are even more level. Lin Yuzhi also buried his head and answered seriously.

At lunchtime, Xiao Maid Eleven came in and replied, "Young Master, the shopkeeper of the bookstore said that he was waiting in the Fuyun Teahouse today." ”

Cai Yuzhi nodded and said, "Okay, you will arrange the carriage and horses in advance, don't miss the time." ”

Eleven replied, "Yes, young master." ”

After the meal, he returned to the school to continue his studies. Regarding today's meeting with Sun Qi, I have made a preliminary deduction last night, which means that I already have a plan in my heart, as well as preparations for various possible problems, and the classical version of "Journey to the West" has also been redeemed, so I am not worried about today's negotiations, just waiting for the time to meet.
