"Isn't that right? To each other? Min Ziqian said.

"That's right! To each his own! Zilu was also on the side to help.

Yan Hui sat on the side and listened attentively, and did not speak. His eyes looked at Zilu's face from time to time.

When I drilled wood to make a fire before, I was smoked, and Zilu's face was spent, and it looked very funny. When he was fetching water just now, Zilu just washed it in the ditch by feeling. Outcome! It's more black and white.

"Everyone is taking care of each other, isn't this society chaotic and scattered? How is this desirable? Isn't it? Min Ziqian said anxiously.

It's still the same sentence! The Hu people in the north are coming on horseback to invade, and we are all scattered in our own ways, and we are not slaughtered by others? If someone else is powerful and powerful, they can bully us, right? If that's the case, isn't it strange that the world isn't chaotic?

Confucius explained: "How can it be chaotic? What Fang Zhong said made sense, and what the Taoists said made sense. And we! It's all wrong! ”

"How did we misunderstand?" Min Ziqian said unconvinced.

Zilu also stiffened his neck and said loudly: "Excuse me, sir!" How did we get it wrong? We all take care of each other, isn't this society a mess? How did we get it wrong? Isn't it? Mr?

So! I just believe it! Sir's doctrine asserts that it is correct! Let's unite! Let's all love each other! Let's all help each other! We are all to tolerate one another, forgive others, and give others a chance to repent. We want to build a civilized society that is polite and polite, where everyone talks about etiquette when they meet, and everyone acts according to the weekly etiquette and the weekly system......"

Confucius interrupted: "Fang Zhong said! ……”

"You don't always say, 'Fang Zhong said', 'Fang Zhong said'! I don't want to hear the name! When Zilu heard Confucius mention the name Fang Zhong again, he suddenly became angry and yelled at Confucius.

Confucius glanced at Zilu and shook his head. explained: "These words were all said by Fang Zhong, and he explained them to me. I listened to his explanation, and at that time, I was as emotional as you are now, very excited, and I didn't accept it. But! After all this, I suddenly understood! Sub-road! You don't want fire! Listen to me! ”

"Sir, please speak!" Min Ziqian stretched out his hand and gestured and said.

Confucius glanced at Zilu and saw that Zilu lowered his head, so he continued.

"We all understand the extreme! After Fang Zhong explained, I completely understood! Fang Zhong said! It is the instinct of human nature to take care of each other, and each of us has this kind of mentality, which we are born with. A child who has not been taught since he was a child has this mentality of taking care of each other. Just like the animals, they look after each other. It's a fact that can't be changed......"

"That's going to change!" Zilu interrupted in an accentuated tone.

"Change! Of course it's going to change! Isn't it? Fang Zhong said! Because! We want to survive! Isn't it? Why are we all alive? Isn't it? It's just to live for the sake of living, isn't it? What do you say you live for? Isn't it? Have you thought about it? What do you live for? Isn't it?

Are you like my Kongqiu? Is it to live to save the world? No! Not really! I, Confucius, only saw the chaos in the world and the suffering of the people, so I thought about saving the people in the world.

In fact! I only thought of them for the sake of living, for the sake of my own life, and I thought about saving the world. In fact! To put it bluntly, it's just to live. I wasn't born to save the world!

It is human nature and instinct to take care of each other. And in order to live, we have to find a way, don't we? So! Under the influence of reason, we cannot take care of each other, we must unite and combine, and if there is strength in numbers, we will be able to live well......"

"Not yet? Not yet? Or unity! Not yet? Zilu interrupted again.

Confucius stretched out his hand to stop Zilu's words and explained, "Why do others have to do what you say? Why should others listen to you? You say that your method is right, and others think it is wrong, why do you want others to listen to you? ”

"This?" Min Ziqian was a little dumbfounded when he heard this.

"This? This, this, this? Zilu defended: "I listen to Mr.! Mr. said! The weekly system is visible! Zhou Li has made historical achievements! The Great Zhou Dynasty governed the country according to the Zhou rites and the Zhou system, so that the Great Zhou Dynasty had a heyday, and the Great Zhou Dynasty continued until now......"

"But now?" Confucius asked rhetorically.

"Now? Now it is! Isn't it? Is the etiquette broken? The world is in chaos? ”

"Not yet?" Confucius explained: "Fang Zhong said! The Zhou Dynasty has come to the end of history and is already in chaos, how can the laws of the past still apply? Isn't it? When a dynasty reaches the end of history, it must start over, and it must break the old pattern and start again......"

"He Fang Zhong is anti-......" (Zilu said the forbidden word.) ）

Meaning: Fang Zhong is against the Great Zhou Dynasty! Anti-Da Zhou Tianzi! Anti-princes! Anti-leadership! Disobedience to management! You can't be with the people......

That seems to mean: to resolutely support the Great Zhou Dynasty! We must resolutely support the Great Zhou Tianzi! We must resolutely support leaders at all levels! Be unconditionally obedient to management! When someone hits you on the left cheek, you should turn the right cheek around and let someone else hit you, and then let others reflect and repent, and then change their ways...... Only in this way can you be called a noble person, a virtuous person, and a wise man...... Because! You see the essence of things: doesn't someone beat you and doesn't he know that he made a mistake? He knew he had made a mistake and he was bound to repent. And then! This society is more harmonious......

"What Fang Zhong meant! If you think your doctrine is correct, he thinks his doctrine is correct, and others think that his own doctrine and thought are correct! So! Don't stress about it: you must think that your doctrine and ideas are correct. Moreover! And force others to accept it! Do you understand what Fang Zhong means? No? You know what I mean?

You don't have to have others accept your doctrine and ideas, and you don't blindly emphasize that your doctrines and ideas are correct! Isn't it?

For example! I think my doctrinal ideas are correct, I go to fall into the three capitals! Isn't it? The result? Don't you think that our doctrine is wrong?

I also think that there is nothing wrong with my doctrinal thoughts! But the result? My doctrine and thinking did not take into account the general background of society, and did not take into account the general background of the world! So! Although my doctrine is correct, it is imperfect......"

"There is nothing wrong with the doctrine and ideas of the sir, and there is nothing wrong with the ideas! It's just that! It was not well thought out and was used by the people of Qi. Min Ziqian commented.

Zilu bowed his head and said, "I think too!" Sir's doctrine is right! That's right! It's just that! Exploited by political careerists. ”
