(41) Confucianism

Through the dialogue between Confucius and Lu Aigong, "Confucianism" describes what the behavior of a true Confucian looks like in various aspects.

Lu Aigong asked Confucius: Mr.'s clothes are probably the clothes unique to Confucianism, right? Confucius replied: When I was a child, I lived in the country of Lu, and I wore the clothes of the country of Lu; When he grew up and lived in the Song Kingdom, he wore the crown of Zhang Fu of the Yin Dynasty. I have heard people say that the gentleman's requirement for himself is that he should be knowledgeable, and his clothes should follow the customs of the locals, and he should not seek to be different. I don't know what else is in the world. Wai Gong then asked: What are the characteristics of the behavior of Confucianism? Confucius reached: hastily enumerated, difficult to finish in a short time. It will take a long time to finish everything, and I am afraid that the servants on duty may not be able to finish it when it is time to change shifts.

Mourning Gong then ordered someone to set up a banquet for Confucius. Confucius sat with his attendant Mourning Gong and said: The virtues of Confucianism are like treasures on a feast, waiting to be hired by princes; Wake up early and go to bed late to study hard, waiting for other people's inquiries; Be faithful and wait for the recommendation of others; Practice and wait for someone else's admission. There are such people in the self-cultivation and self-reliance of Confucianism.

The Confucian scholars were dressed like ordinary people, and they were very cautious in their work; Being humble in big things makes people feel arrogant; Be humble in small things, which makes people feel artificial; When dealing with big problems, trembling and walking on thin ice; When dealing with small problems, he is not sloppy, as if he is guilty. It seems a little difficult to get them to fight for something, and it is easier to let them give up something, and they are humble and humble as if they are incompetent. The appearance of a Confucian is like this.

The daily life of Confucians is quite serious, and they are respectful when they sit together, and they must pay attention to credibility when speaking and justice when doing things. On the road, don't quarrel with others because of such trivial things as the road is good and difficult to walk, don't fight with others for a place with the sun in winter, and don't fight with others for a place with shade in summer. The purpose of this is to cherish life and wait for the right moment, and to recharge energy to make a difference. There are such people who look forward to the future of Confucianism.

In the minds of Confucians, gold and jade are not worth precious, but faithfulness is precious. They do not pray for the land, but establish morality as their land; They prayed for a great save, and a great deal of knowledge would be their wealth. It is difficult to ask them to come out and be officials, because they don't care about the high officials; Because they don't care about high-ranking officials, even if they are invited out, it is difficult to keep them for a long time. Isn't it difficult to invite people to be an official when they can make a difference? Even if he is out of office, if the monarch does not respect his correct opinion, he will resign, and it will be difficult to retain it for a long time. They talk about things first and then they talk about it, don't they just care about it? Confucianism treats people and things like this.

Some Confucians, even if they give him a lot of gold and silver treasures, even if they use lust to lure him, he will not see the benefits and forget his righteousness. Even if he threatened him with a large number of people and intimidated him with weapons, he would rather die than change his temperament. In the fight against the forces of evil, he does not estimate his own skills; When he receives a difficult task, he does not estimate his ability; As long as you recognize it, you will resolutely do it. I have recognized what I have done, I have never regretted it, and I have not considered so much about what I have not done. Don't say anything wrong, don't exhaust gossip, always maintain majesty, do what you have to say, and never be indecisive. There are such people who are different from Confucianism in doing things.

Confucianism can be intimate but not threatened, close but not forced, and beheaded but not humiliated. The residence of a Confucian scholar can be unluxurious, the diet of a Confucian scholar may not be lavious, and the mistakes of a Confucian can be tactfully criticized rather than reproached to his face. The fortitude of Confucianism is like this.

Confucianism regards faithfulness as armor and propriety and righteousness as a shield, and they always guard benevolence and righteousness; Whether you go out, or even if you are persecuted by ****, you will not change your integrity. There is such a self-reliance in ethics among Confucians.

Although the living conditions of the Confucian scholars were very poor, the house was only ten steps square, and the walls on all four sides of the dwelling room were only one wall high, and a small hole in the wall was used as a door to enter and exit, the door was woven with wattles and bamboo branches, and some doors were made of canopy and straw, and the broken urn was embedded in the wall as a window. The whole family only has a more decent set of clothes, and whoever goes out wears it. In order to save, only one day's food is eaten in two days. was appreciated and reused by the above, and did not dare to Huaiyi's own lack of ability; I can't be appreciated and reused from above, and I don't dare to flatter in order to improve. The attitude of Confucianism as an official is like this.

Although the Confucian man lives with contemporary people, his words and deeds are in line with those of ancient gentlemen; What he does now will be a model for future generations. The fate is bumpy, and he was born at the wrong time, when the ruler doesn't say to pull him, and the retinue doesn't help him, those who say bad things and are good at patting horses will collude with him to calculate him. But this can only harm his body, but it will definitely not change his ambition. Although he was in a dangerous situation, he still wanted to take revenge on his every move, and he never forgot the bitter weeping of the people. The Confucian people's sense of concern for the people is like this.
