Chapter 36: The world is in harmony, and the world is benevolent
"Oh my God, this place, this set, it's wonderful!"
"It's amazing, as soon as the scene appeared, my whole mood seemed to calm down."
"Yes, there is such a scene in this world, it is simply a paradise on earth, without any modern atmosphere, it is too strong!"
Xia Xuan walked all the way along the way, the grass and flowers were fragrant, the trees were shady, and he came to a huge maple tree, the red leaves, symbolizing the enthusiasm of Confucius and his disciples to study and inherit ideas.
Under the maple tree, there was an old man, and on both sides of the old man, dozens of disciples were sitting in a precarious position, listening to the old man's lecture.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? ”
Suddenly, a person with a long sword in his hand blocked Xia Xuan's way.
The old man in front also seemed to have noticed Xia Xuan's arrival.
"Zigong!"
"Wouldn't it be nice to have friends from afar?"
"Have you forgotten?"
At this time, the old man slowly got up and looked at Xia Xuan!
From the old man, a breath of Dao came to his face, and his kind face made Xia Xuan's extremely excited mood calm down all of a sudden.
"This, is this Confucius? I had goosebumps rising at the sight, and my mood was inexplicably calm. ”
"I, how can I feel a breath of Dao coming to my face, this is too strong,"
"Do you understand, that's called Haoran Qi!"
"I feel like the real Sage Kong is on the screen now."
"This can't be said to be like anymore, it's exactly the same, is there any!"
Zigong on the side saw the master get up and hurriedly bowed.
"Master, the disciple knows his mistake!"
The master nodded and motioned for Zigong to return to his futon.
"I don't know who it is, why are you here?"
The master said to Xia Xuan.
A septuagenarian was so polite to one of his younger generations that he was stunned by the disciples on the side.
"Master is polite, disciple Xia Xuan, from more than 2,000 years later, I have come to learn from Master and ask for advice!"
Xia Xuan arched his hand, bowed deeply to the saint in his eyes!
"More than two thousand years later?"
"Exactly!"
The master looked at the young man in front of him thoughtfully.
"The Analects you just said? What is it? ”
The Master's eyes were shining, and he had to humbly ask for advice about things he didn't understand, things he didn't understand.
"The words and deeds of the Master and his disciples are a one-step classic, which we later call the Analects."
"This is it!"
As he spoke, he handed the bamboo slip in his hand to the master.
"The Analects, this is the Analects!"
"Come on, come on, you all come and see."
As he spoke, the Master summoned all the disciples and circulated the bamboo slips to each other!
"Sensitive and studious, not ashamed to ask!"
"This is what my master taught me, and sometimes I don't dare to ask questions that I don't understand because of my face."
"Learn and learn, don't you also say? Have friends come from afar, are you happy? People don't know and are not ashamed, aren't they also gentlemen? ”
"This is what the Master taught us."
The disciples were very excited when they looked at the Analects.
These things were also taught to them by the Master, and they did exactly what the Master said.
"Okay, what a treatise."
Suddenly, the master laughed heartily, never thinking that he would be so studious in his later life for more than 2,000 years, and compiled a classic book of his words and deeds.
"Come, Xia Jun, since you're here to study, let's sit down together!"
As he spoke, he led Xia Xuan and walked under the maple tree, and the futon that he ordered to prepare more people could be regarded as useful.
This is how the Master usually treats people, they are all friends, and whoever they are, they will always prepare an extra seat for them to sit down.
Seeing this scene, Xia Xuan was also deeply admired, this may also be the "friends from afar, happy?" "Let's go.
Confucius treats people like this, and for etiquette, he is called a saint, but also!
"I don't know if Xia Jun is here, why don't you have any doubts, you might as well say it, and I'll discuss it with you!"
Looking at the master on the stone platform, Xia Xuan was silent for a moment, then got up and bowed again.
"Master, the disciple would like to ask, in this turbulent and turbulent world, what do you want to teach to the world and pass on your words to your body?"
As soon as Xia Xuan's words came out, all the disciples were shocked.
Confucius paid attention to etiquette and ruled the world with benevolence, which has always been the goal pursued by him and his disciples.
Why in this afterlife, there are still people who do not know.
It seems that this Analect has not been able to teach future generations.
"I have traveled all over the world, preaching and teaching by example, for the sake of the great harmony of the world and the return of the world to benevolence."
"The world is in turmoil, the world is divided, and there are still many people who can't read and study, and there are many people who don't understand the way of etiquette, and there are no shortage of princes who don't know how to govern the country."
"What I ask for is that everyone reads, Taixia is peaceful, and all countries and people have courtesy and benevolence."
After listening to the master's words, the disciples also nodded their heads.
They traveled with their masters and passed on Confucianism and culture to other countries.
The words and deeds of the Master are the way of governing the country with courtesy, the way of benevolence and the world, the way of treating others, and the way of learning.
These are the things that the Master said and did.
However, the master traveled around the world, but he was not treated well by other countries and was given a cold reception.
Once the master and his disciples were separated when they were in Zheng Guo, and the master stayed at the east gate in a daze, Zigong asked Zheng Guoren where the master was.
Zheng Guoren said that there was an old man at the east gate, like a lost dog in a daze.
In troubled times, it is difficult to put ideas and concepts into practice, perhaps this is also the foundation of the Master's travels around the world, teaching by word and deed.
Each country has its own way of governing the country, and what the Master pursues is great harmony, and the way to make all countries the same is difficult to ascend to the sky!
"The concept of the Master is the foundation of our learning."
"We all come from all over the world, and that's why we are studying as masters!"
After listening to the words of the master and disciples, Xia Xuan bowed again.
"Thank you, Master, now that I have been in the future for more than 2,000 years, the concept of Master has been inherited, and the world has become the same!"
"What, you say, that my ideas will be passed on to future generations and will be brought together?"
The master stood up very excitedly and looked at Xia Xuan.
Although I can't believe it, if my belief can be passed on after more than 2,000 years, and the world will be in harmony, it will also be a great thing.
Xia Xuan nodded heavily.
"Master, look!"
Then, as soon as Xia Xuan turned around, a picture appeared out of thin air, and the picture was all four or five-year-old children, and the teacher was standing on the podium.
What they were talking about was the Master's Analects.
"Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, knowing is knowing!"
"Learn and learn, don't you also say? Have friends come from afar, are you happy? People don't know and are not ashamed, aren't they also gentlemen? ”
"Threesomes must have my teacher. Choose those who are good and follow them, and change those who are not good. ”
"Come, little friend, do you know what this means?"
In response to the teacher's questions, the children also scrambled to raise their hands to answer.
"Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, it is knowing, it is the master who wants to tell us, knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, let us seek truth from facts!"
"Threesome, the master wants to tell us that we need to learn the virtue of kindness like others, and when we see their bad points, we should learn from them and correct our own shortcomings!"
Seeing that the children in the picture were familiar with the Analects and understood all the truths, the master kept nodding his head.
"Okay, okay, future generations of children will be able to understand my truth, I am happy, very happy."
The master and the disciples had red eyes at some point, leaving tears of happiness.
How can we not be happy to see that the great harmony we are pursuing will be realized in the Hereafter?
