"I can do it!" Confucius replied without thinking.

Lao Tzu trembled and froze. He didn't know what to say, and he didn't know how to guide the big middle-aged man in front of him.

Confucius's answer made Lao Tzu feel: This person is not deeply involved in the world and is very immature.

Nothing is absolute, it's relative! Let alone! Zhou Li was originally a confused account.

If you understand Zhou Li, you will find that Zhou Li is a confused account, and after subdividing it, it has led "Li" to a pole and has deviated from the real intention and purpose of Li.

The original setting of the ceremony was to provide an orderly living environment for the world. Let everyone have a code of conduct and a standard code of conduct. Outcome! When some wise people refine the etiquette, it becomes cumbersome, and it restricts the behavior of the world. If it restricts people's behavior, it will inevitably affect people's lives and survival.

It affects people's lives and survival, and it violates the original intention of setting up "rites".

Just like the laws of later generations, the more detailed the laws are, the more they appear to be legal on the surface, and they are protecting people's rights. In fact, it has become a muddled account.

In fact! The law is set up for only one purpose, which is to ensure people's survival and livelihood, and to maintain fairness and justice.

Outcome! A thief was frightened by the owner of the house on the anti-theft net and fell to his death, and the owner was also responsible. What's the point of this? Such! The law does not protect people's survival, their lives, but! Protect the lives of thieves and support thieves to steal with confidence and boldness, their lives protected by the law.

In this way, the law deviates from the purpose for which it was originally set and becomes a confused account. If you don't quibble, if you are justified, you will also be held accountable for the lawsuit.

The thief deserves to die, because he affects the lives and survival of others. If we still go to protect them, then! The law is not the maintenance of justice and justice in the world. Whoever argues for a thief is guilty of the same crime as the thief, and deserves death.

"Young man!" Lao Tzu sighed and sighed: "Don't talk too much! You can't do it! ”

"Me?" Confucius wanted to defend himself, but it could be seen that Lao Tzu's face was ugly, so he didn't say any more.

"According to Zhou Li, you can't do it at all, you can't do it at all! Youngster! Don't take it too absolutely! For example! ……”

Lao Tzu looked at Confucius's face and eyes, and said earnestly, "What are you here for?" According to Fang Jishi, you are here to 'ask for a salute' or a 'question'. You're here to greet me and ask questions. But what about you? When I heard that I wasn't there, you immediately thought differently and followed Chang Hong to learn music and rhythm.

It's not that I'm upset, it's not! Don't you think you've violated the etiquette?

Don't tell me you don't know when I'm going to be back, that's why you made that decision. Oh, yes! From your point of view, the ideas and practices are right. The person you want to ask for advice is not there, and you meet another musician, and you can take this opportunity to learn the rhythm first.

That's right! From your point of view, right! But! From Zhou Li's point of view, it can also be said to be right or wrong! Other words! It can also be said that you have violated the Zhou etiquette, or it can be said that you have not violated the Zhou etiquette.

So! Zhou Li is a confused account, whoever has a big mouth, who can speak, is reasonable, and who has not violated Zhou Li.

Do you know what I mean?

I mean! If you come to greet me or ask me, you can't see the difference and follow Chang Hong to learn the rhythm of music. I said you violated the Zhou etiquette, didn't you? But! You think you have a reason and you haven't violated the Zhou etiquette. You quibble with me, finally! Even if I convince you, you are still unconvinced, and you still think that you have not violated the Zhou etiquette. So! Zhou Li is a confused account......

Don't talk about what you told Chang Hong about the music and rhythm, otherwise outsiders will know about it and think I'm jealous! Let's let this go and talk about the rest!

You just agreed, saying that you don't violate Zhou etiquette, you can do it, right? We let go of the fact that you learned music from Chang Hong, didn't we? Right now! Let's talk about it, after you came back last night, you and Chang Hong stood at the door and secretly looked at me, thinking that I was cultivating, so they didn't bother and left.

On the surface! You are observing the weekly etiquette, and you did not disturb me. But if you go away, it's also against Zhou etiquette! Isn't it? You're here to greet me or ask, aren't you? Since you're here to ask or ask, you should kneel there and wait for me to wake up.

Furthermore! You knelt down and waited for me, even if I didn't wake up, Fang Jishi or Zhang Shanfeng woke up, they would definitely wake me up, wouldn't they? You disturb me, wake me up is not in accordance with the etiquette, but! When they woke me up, it was not against the etiquette.

Thus! Zhou Li is a confused account.

They don't violate the Zhou etiquette when they wake me up, and if you wake me up, they will violate the Zhou etiquette, what is the matter? Isn't this a muddle that some low-IQ people don't understand? Isn't it?

And also! If you kneel there for a long time, I ignore you, I've been in a state of cultivation, I really don't know, don't I? But? If this matter spreads, it will be said: When Confucius of the Lu State visited Li Er, he knelt there for a long time, and Li Er relied on the old and sold the old, and he simply ignored it. Or rather! How Lear is. Outcome! People must have said that Li Er violated Zhou etiquette! He is not the best talent in the world, he is in vain, what is it......

You can see from this! If we stick to the weekly rites and refine the weekly rites, then! Zhou Li is a confused account, it will restrain people's behavior, make the world become this is not, that is not, no matter what you do, you are violating Zhou Li. Isn't it ......"

After listening to Lao Tzu's explanation of "talking about things", Confucius realized that his words were too much. Oh, yes! How can I do it without violating the etiquette? I just don't think I'm violating the etiquette! In the eyes of others, I also violated Zhou etiquette.

I mean: me?

Confucius couldn't say so.

Under Lao Tzu's interpretation, it seems to be like this: if you study it carefully, if you refine the Zhou rites? Zhou Li really became a confused account.

It was also when Lao Tzu was interpreting that Confucius left his seat and knelt in front of Lao Tzu.

"Zhou Li! Yes, it is needed! But! Don't over-refine it! Weekly Gift! It is used to regulate people's behavior in order to create a harmonious society, not to restrain the behavior of people in the world. If it is subdivided, it restricts the behavior of the world, making people passive everywhere, and they don't know why!

Weekly Gift! Just follow it on the scene. Don't be overly concerned about whether others are following or not. Don't care if others follow the weekly etiquette, but! Be concerned about whether others have affected your life and survival. Failure to observe the weekly rites does not affect your life and survival, but only shows that a person's character and moral quality are low......"
