The story about Confucius

Luz, surnamed Zhong, was born in 542 BC. Little Confucius is 9 years old, 20 years older than his classmate You Ran. Like You Ran, he is an outstanding student in the "political affairs" section of Confucius' students and one of Confucius' favorite students. Lutz was very naughty when he was a child, and he often made trouble. He has changed a lot since he went to school with Confucius. Under the education and edification of Confucius, Luz finally grew into a political figure with outstanding political talents. When Luz first started school, he didn't know if he knew. Anyway, as soon as the teacher asked questions, Luz immediately stood up to answer them, but after standing up, he didn't know how to answer them. He often pretends that he doesn't know what he knows and what to do, which makes everyone burst into laughter. To this end, Confucius once severely reprimanded Luz: "Shit! Tell you what is' knowing', knowing means knowing, and not knowing means not knowing. This is the real' know'! " After being criticized by the teacher, Luz became more disciplined, and he learned to ask the teacher if he didn't understand any questions, just like his classmates Yan Yuan and Zi Gong. Once, he asked Confucius, "Teacher, what should I do to become a scholar?" Confucius told him: "Help each other and live in harmony and happiness, so that you can be called a scholar." . Friends urge and help each other, and brothers are harmonious and happy. "Lutz don't think it's too easy? Then he asked Confucius, "Teacher, how can we become a perfect person?" Confucius told him, "With Zang Wuzhong's cleverness, Meng Gongzhuo's simplicity and no desire, Bian Zhuangzi's bravery and his versatility, and the decoration of rites and music, you can become a perfect person. After a while, Confucius said, "How can a perfect person do this today? When you see the benefit, you can consider whether it is moral or not. In an emergency, you can be desperate. Even if you are poor for a long time, you still don't forget your lifelong commitment, which can be said to be perfect. Lutz thought this requirement was not difficult to realize, so he asked Confucius, "Teacher, how can I become a gentleman?" "Confucius told him:" cultivate one's morality and cultivate one's nature, and do things seriously. Lutz disagreed with the teacher's answer: "Teacher, is that all?" Confucius said: "cultivate one's morality and cultivate one's nature, and enjoy happiness together." Lutz still disagreed: "Is that all?" Confucius realized that Lutz was a little arrogant, so he told him: "Cultivate one's morality and keep one's family in harmony. Self-cultivation and self-cultivation make the people happy, which I am afraid is even difficult to do. " Lutz finally understood that it is not easy to be a gentleman. But Lutz still doesn't believe it. He was the bravest in his life, so he asked Confucius, "As a gentleman, do teachers also advocate courage?" Confucius glared at Luz and said, "What a gentleman advocates most is righteousness. A gentleman's courage, without preaching, makes a mistake; If the villain is brave and does not give lectures, he will become a stronger thief. " Lutz once again understood that courage alone cannot be a gentleman. Confucius was very happy to see that Lutz's question had made great progress, so he asked Lutz while the iron was hot: "Ayou, have you ever heard of liu de Liuyin?" Lutz replied, "I haven't heard of it. Confucius said to Luz, "Sit down and I'll tell you." . Love instead of learning, its hidden danger is stupidity; I prefer wisdom to learning, and its hidden danger is debauchery; I prefer honesty to learning, and its hidden danger is narrowness; I prefer frankness to learning, and its hidden danger is vitriolic; I like being brave rather than studying, and its hidden danger is chaos; I prefer being strong to learning, and its hidden danger is arrogance. "After listening to the teacher, Lutz finally understood that reading and learning are so important! He stood up, bowed respectfully to Confucius and thanked the teacher for his teaching. Then, I said goodbye to the teacher and went to study with my classmates. After a while, Lutz felt that his knowledge had improved, but he still didn't understand some questions, so he asked Confucius again, "Teacher, how can I be a good official?" Confucius told him: "Set an example and be compassionate to the people." "Lutz thought the teacher was too simple, so he asked the teacher to speak more. Confucius went on to say, "Persevere and never slacken off. Lutz shouted, and then asked Confucius whether Guan Zhong, who was discussing and arguing with his classmate Zi Gong, was "kind": "Teacher, Qi Huangong killed Zi Gong and suddenly told him to die, but Guan Zhong didn't die. Guan Zhong failed to be kind, didn't he? Confucius told him: "Qi Huangong met princes many times, not by war, but by Guan Zhong's strength. This is Guan Zhong's benevolence! This is Guan Zhong's benevolence! "Although Lutz felt that what the teacher said was reasonable, he always felt that Guan Zhong had not fulfilled his responsibility in treating his own leader, so he asked Confucius," Teacher, how can you serve your own leader? Confucius told him, "Don't cheat, but you should make a face and say it. After listening to the teacher, Lutz suddenly thought of another question: "Teacher, how to serve ghosts and gods?" "Confucius said," If people can't be obedient, how can they be obedient to ghosts? "Lutz asked," what is death? Confucius said very seriously: "The truth of life is not yet clear, how can we talk about knowing death?" After listening to the teacher, Luz felt that she was still not working hard enough, so she went back to study hard. Lutz is an impatient person. Tired of reading, he took a piano and ran to the door of Confucius' office to play it. Lutz's piano is not very good, and the sound of war is too loud. So Confucius complained, "Why is this guy Zhong You playing in front of my office with a piano?" After hearing Confucius' complaints, other students were disrespectful to Luz. After learning this, Confucius said to the students, "The study of Zhong You has entered the classroom, but it has not yet entered the inner room." He added, "If my dream can't come true, I will take a boat and drift on the sea. At that time, it will probably be Zhong You who will follow me. " The students listened to Confucius' praise of Luz, so they changed their attitude towards Luz and respected Luz again. On the contrary, Luz was very happy after hearing Confucius' praise, so Confucius said, "Zhong You is a man with braver spirit than me, but he just doesn't know how to cultivate and tailor himself." After hearing the teacher's criticism, Luz turned pale and paid attention to improving his cultivation. After a while, Luz made greater progress. Confucius saw it in his eyes and enjoyed it in his heart. He praised Luz: "I'm afraid Zhong You is the only one who is not ashamed of wearing a shabby cotton-padded jacket and standing with people wearing noble mink coats!" There is a saying in the Book of Songs:' What's wrong with not being jealous or greedy?' Lutz listens to the teacher praise himself with the poem in The Book of Songs, so he often recites this poem in The Book of Songs. When Confucius knew it, he said, "How can you be good if you only do this?" After listening to the teacher's euphemistic criticism, Luz studied hard and constantly improved himself. Confucius likes Lutz very much, and Lutz respects Confucius very much. What is particularly commendable is that Lutz is the only Confucius student who dares to criticize Confucius. In 502 BC, Ji's courtiers captured Philadelphia and prepared to rebel, so they hired Confucius as a consultant. When Confucius was about to apply for a job, Luz was very unhappy and criticized Confucius and said, "There is no place to go, so forget it. Why do you have to go to Gong? " ! Confucius said, "He hired me." . Will I go for nothing? "? If someone can use me, I'm afraid I will revive the Zhou Dynasty in the East! "Because of Lutz's strong opposition, Confucius finally failed to make it. Two years later, in 500 BC, Confucius was appointed as acting prime minister by the State of Lu, in charge of the political affairs of the State of Lu. Confucius was very happy and elated when he thought that he could finally have a chance to display his talents and realize his political ideals. When Lutz saw Confucius like this, he made an opinion to Confucius: "Teacher, I heard that as a gentleman, Confucius said," Yes, there is such a thing. "However, there is also a saying:' I am happy to treat you as a servant! I'm glad your status has improved! Lutz knew that Confucius was picky, but after all, Confucius was his most respected teacher, so don't be too hard on the teacher. Not long after, Confucius became the acting prime minister of Lu. As the saying goes, Lu is rich and strong, and the people live and work in peace. Qi was worried that Lu would become stronger under the rule of Confucius, which was very unfavorable to Qi, so Qi sent 80 peerless beauties to Lu. Lu's wife and minister Ji followed them day and night after they got these stunning beauties. Confucius couldn't even report to Lu, which made Confucius very angry. In a rage, Confucius dropped his official seal, slapped his ass and personally led his disciples. In the process of traveling around the world, some unpleasant things happened between Confucius and Lutz. In 496 BC, Wei Linggong's wife, a very beautiful and open woman named Nanzi, invited Confucius on a date. Confucius visited Nanzi out of courtesy, which made Luz very unhappy. Confucius swore repeatedly in front of Lutz: "I didn't do anything wrong." If I do something wrong, God will punish me! "God punishes me!" In 492 BC, Fan Zhongxing, a servant of the Buddha and a doctor of the State of Jin, rebelled in Zhongmou. The Buddha invited Confucius to help, and Confucius wanted to go, but Lutz firmly opposed it. Lutz said to Confucius, "Teacher, I used to hear you say,' A gentleman doesn't go where people do bad things themselves.' Buddha rebelled against Zhongmou, but you have to go to him. What should I say? Confucius replied, "Yes, I did. However, isn't it said that hard things can't be thinned? Didn't you say that white things can't be dyed black? Am I a melon? How can you always hang it and not eat it? "Because of Lutz's resolute opposition, although Confucius was eager to use the world, he did not go to the Buddha to apply for a job after all. In the process of traveling around the world, Luz actually became Confucius' chief of staff, personal bodyguard and health worker. On one occasion, Confucius was seriously ill, and Luz asked to pray for him. Confucius asked Luz, "Is there such a thing? Lutz replied, "Yes, didn't the book Gou say' pray for the God of heaven and earth for you'?" Confucius said, "In that case, I will pray." Confucius' illness became more and more serious. Lutz was worried about any accident, so he quietly set up funeral committee among his classmates behind Confucius' back. Later, Confucius' condition improved, and Confucius also heard that Luz set up funeral committee for him. Although Confucius was grateful, it violated etiquette, so he criticized Luz: "It's been too long! Zhong You does these deceptive things! I shouldn't have a funeral organization, but you set up a funeral organization for me. Who am I fooling? Did I cheat God? Besides, I would rather die at the hands of those mourners than at your hands! Moreover, even if I don't get a grand funeral, will I be thrown on the road? " Lutz saw that the teacher's situation had improved, and his hanging heart finally fell to the ground. He finished with a smile at the teacher's criticism. In 490 BC, when Confucius and his disciples left Yexian County and returned to Cai State, they saw Chang Ju and Jie Shui plowing together. When Confucius passed by, he asked Luz to ask them about the ferry crossing the river. I often ask Luz, "Who is the man pulling the reins?" Lutz told him, "It's Kong Qiu." Chang Ju asked, "Is that Lu's man?" Lutz said, "Yes." Chang Ju said, "Then he knows where the ferry is!" Lutz turned to drowning, and drowning asked, "Who are you?" Say, "I'm Zhong You. Jie Li asked in a heavy voice, "Is it student Lu Zhongyou?" ? "Lutz replied," yes. "Jie drowned, saying," The world is getting worse and worse, and the world is in chaos. Who can change it? "Besides, it's better to follow people who avoid people's eyes and ears than to follow them!" With that, Chang Ju and Jie Drowned still plowed the fields, and they didn't look up and talk again. Lutz was bored and told Confucius about it when he came back. Confucius was disappointed and sighed, "Birds and beasts can't get along." If I am not human, what am I? If there is a way in the world, I will not carry out any reform in Kong Qiu! "Master and apprentice had to continue on their way and walk. Lutz fell behind and happened to meet an old man who was mowing the grass with a cane. Lutz asked him, "old man, have you seen my teacher?" "The old man said:" Four bodies are not diligent, and the grain is not divided. "Who is your teacher?" He put down his cane to mow the grass. Lutz had to stand there hand in hand. It was getting dark, so the old man stayed at home for the night, killed an old hen for Luz, and asked his two sons to come out to visit Luz. The next day, Lutz continued on his way and caught up with Confucius. Lutz told Confucius the story of meeting the old man in detail. Confucius said, "This is a hermit." And asked Luz to return to the old man again. Lutz came to the place where the old man lived and saw that the old man had left. Lutz rushed back to Confucius. Lutz said to Confucius, "It is unreasonable not to be an official. Etiquette between young people and old people cannot be abandoned; How can the morality between monarch and minister be abandoned? In order to lead an honest and clean life, it destroyed the great ethics of society. A gentleman is an official in order to carry out his morality. As for morality, we already know. " After listening to Lutz's words, Confucius found that Lutz was getting better and better, smiled with relief, and then continued on his way. After traveling around the world and returning to Shandong, I first worked as a servant in Ji's family for a while, and later as the chief executive of Pudong. Before taking office in Dipper, Luz came to say goodbye to Confucius, who told Luz: "Dipper has many heroes and is difficult to govern. But I tell you: as long as you are modest and serious, you can control those brave people; As long as you are generous and fair, you can get everyone's support; As long as you are respectful, fair, generous and steady, you will not betray your majesty's trust. " Lutz firmly wrote down these words of Confucius, bid farewell to Confucius and took office in Pudong. After working in Dipu for a period of time, Lutz applied to be a retainer at the home of Kong Mao, a doctor of Wei State. Unfortunately, in 480 BC, Luz was shot in the rebellion of Confucius who defended the country. When he was dying, his hat band was knocked off and his hat fell to the ground. Lutz bent down to pick up his hat, stood up tenaciously and said, "A gentleman never dies!" " So he put on his hat, put on his hat belt and made a heroic sacrifice. As soon as Confucius heard that something had happened to Weiguo, he decided that something would definitely happen to Luz. Soon, the unfortunate news of Lutz's death came, and Confucius was deeply saddened by Lutz's death.
