The original sentence: "or:' What if good for evil?' Confucius said, "How can I repay you? "Accuse directly, repay virtue with good" —— Constitutional issues of the Analects of Confucius

Repay evil with kindness is a phrase we often hear. What is the commonly understood "good for bad"? In other words, Confucius taught us that if someone bullies you, you should bear it and swallow your broken teeth. If someone bullies you, you should be nice to him. You should influence him with your love and touch him with your heart. This makes people feel a little awe-inspiring. Think about it, if I slap the person who was slapped and say that he played well, the more you hit me, the better I will be to you ... In this case, I will be moved to be dumbfounded, what a good boy and great sentiment. ...

But in fact, we misinterpreted Confucius' original intention. At first, I never imagined that there would be another passage behind Confucius' "Good for evil". What words? Confucius said, "How to repay kindness with kindness? Complain straight and repay kindness with kindness! " After reading it, I suddenly realized that we were all fooled by some Confucius fans who took it out of context! What was the real situation at that time? One of Confucius' disciples asked him, "Master, I won't fight if someone hits me. Instead, I will treat him better, humiliate him to death with my morality and upbringing, and make him repent, okay? " Confucius said, you repay evil with good, so "how to repay good?" When others treat you with kindness, you need to repay kindness with kindness. But since someone hit you, you should "sue directly" and pick up a brick and beat him away! Look! Just because someone intentionally left out a sentence, Kong Old Master Q, who was once in full swing, was distorted into this gentle doormat image.

Compared with western culture, eastern civilization has always been regarded as humble and persevering, and it is also bullied. Jesus, the leading brother in the west, shouted in the Bible: "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." Little brothers! When someone stares at you, you must stare back at him. If someone bites you, you should bite back! What about the East? Buddhist spiritual leader Sakyamuni said, "If I don't go to hell, who will?" A helpless expression. Besides, he's not just talking. The eagle came to bully him and wanted to eat his meat. He really helped the eagle cut the meat off himself, which was a little big and almost BT. Talking about the return of several foreign leaders to China, why is this sentence of Master Kong deliberately misinterpreted by others? The fundamental reason was the needs of the feudal rulers at that time. Their thoughts are nothing more than turning thousands of people who believe in Confucius into obedient people who have the virtue to complain. Only those who return good for evil will honestly obey their exploitation and oppression. Let's look at the impact. Mr. Kong's misinterpretation of "repaying evil with good" has played an oppressive role in China's cultural history, which is really great. The emperor is cruel, so we have to "repay evil with good" and the landlord exploited him. We will "repay the kindness". Even if Eight-Nation Alliance arrives in Beijing, we will still "repay the kindness", grovel and cede land, and do everything possible to show our "virtue" and "measure China's material resources to win the favor of big countries" ... but we never thought of resisting. Imagine if China's culture did not have the bad habit of changing correct ideas from the East to the West to serve the feudal ruling class, and if Confucius' original words were not deliberately misinterpreted as such, would we in China develop such a cowardly thinking inertia? Some people say that the nature of westerners is wolf, while the nature of orientals is sheep. Here, like a shadow of the moon, I want to ask, what makes us like this? If we have believed in the western proverb "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" since ancient times, will China in modern history leave the world with such an impression of a larger foe?

Repay evil with good.

2. People can make it, not make it known.

Original sentence:. "Confucius said: Prosperity lies in poetry, propriety lies in ceremony, and success lies in joy. Confucius said, "People can let it go, but they can't make it known." —————— "The Analects of Confucius Qin Bo"

If it were Mr. Kong again, I would admire you a little.

What does it mean that people can let nature take its course without knowing it? In other words, the state rules the people, orders them to do things, and does not let them know what they are doing. Now, this sentence is definitely a kind of ignorant politics that the feudal ruling class has played for thousands of years. Why do ordinary people know so much? It is best to be in a daze, only knowing that we will be mediocre for a lifetime according to our meaning. This warning is not vicious. It was regarded as a treasure by the feudal rulers of China for thousands of years, which obliterated many truths and people's creativity. But at the same time, our problem is coming. Is such an ignorant skill really the original intention of Confucius, an educator who is committed to educating the people?

As we know, articles in the Spring and Autumn Period have no punctuation marks. If future generations want to study the article at that time, they have to go through a process of "sentence breaking", that is, punctuate and pause at appropriate places in the sentence according to the context, so as to get a sentence with smooth and coherent meaning. By the way, why are Confucius' articles quoted so much by later generations? This is of course due to the fame of Confucius himself. Secondly, it is because his quotations cover a wide range, including almost all aspects of social life. In this way, later generations, no matter who they are or what their purpose is, can quote relevant parts out of context from Confucius' words, and then make their own personal understanding and sentences to prove their views. For example, from the last article, we, Mr. Kong, have been discussing the education of these three things. How did it suddenly become an admonition to teach imperial politics? It turns out that this is another reason why later generations deliberately used an inappropriate "sentence break" in the sentence out of context with ulterior motives, making this sentence ambiguous. Combined with the context of the context, we can easily get the correct clause method of this sentence: "Confucius said: based on poetry, ceremony and music." People can, let it be, can't, let it be "Confucius' whole sentence means that poetry, ceremony and music are the basis of educating people, and they must be done well. If people master poetry, rituals and music, then let them play freely. If people can't play with these things, we must educate them and let them know and understand them. "You see, this is the original intention of the great educator, Mr. Kong Lao, who doesn't teach or have classes. A good word, by those bastards with ulterior motives, became an ignorant skill of Confucius to deceive the people and prevent them from knowing books and seeking knowledge. I really don't know what those idiots who misinterpret this statement think. If you want to say that this P word is said by Confucius, an educator, who will believe it? Have you ever lied to others and thought you were an idiot?

Some people say that people in ancient China were unfortunate. Even in the prosperous times of material wealth, their spiritual world is pitifully poor. In the middle and modern times, the western ideological field gradually ushered in the Renaissance, democracy and harmony, and ushered in one era after another to promote the world's invention and progress and ideological enlightenment. What about the clever Chinese nation? At an earlier time, they had four great inventions and walked in front of the world. But why such a good foundation, in modern times, we are far behind the western primary ethnic groups? People can let go without knowing it. What a vicious warning! It is like a big snake with its jaws wide open, firmly entwined with the Chinese nation, extinguished many advanced ideological sparks and bound many young people who should make a difference. On the other hand, the feudal rulers who deliberately misinterpreted this sentence are hateful, but can we completely blame them? This is a ridiculous thing in itself. Why didn't we think of that? A great educator, Confucius, spent his whole life educating people all over the world. How could he say such stupid things as "people can't know"? What is even more ridiculous is that we have believed and worshipped this sentence for thousands of years. Who should be sad at last? It's still us

People can make it, but don't know it.

The original sentence: "Confucius said: Prosperity lies in poetry, courtesy lies in ceremony, and success lies in joy. People can do it; No, let me know. "

3, non-toxic, no husband

A small amount is not a gentleman, but a extravagant husband. ————— A few folk proverbs

A small number of non-gentlemen, non-toxic non-husbands, this sentence is definitely one of the funniest examples of many rumors in China. Even junior high school students who have just completed nine-year compulsory education can easily see the shortcomings. First of all, this kind of non-toxic husband has a great deviation from the values advocated by the ancients as we know. People with courage naturally refer to those who are open-minded. When can I put the prefix of malice and backstabbing?

It turns out that this proverb from the folk should be "a small amount is not a gentleman, and a large amount is not a husband." This is a good sentence, which makes full use of duality. It shows a masculine and powerful spirit, and the image of an open-minded man is vividly on the paper. It's a pity that this word, which was passed down from mouth to mouth by the working people, changed its flavor when it reached the mouth of the so-called "gentleman" who studied hard in the court. Why? This should start with the habits of ancient literati. In this couplet proverb, "degree" is a weak word, which seems lonely and awkward, and it is easy to pronounce it as "poison" in a flat voice. Those literati who have a high demand for temperament and beauty, when they are full and have nothing to do, will give full play to their expertise and make their own decisions, and change this sentence to "no poison, no husband", so this sentence has finally become. Become another victim of pedantic literati's works, "less quantity is not a gentleman, more quantity is not a husband." In the original words, a gentleman is the quatrain of and while one man guards it and and while one man guards it, but after thousands of years of misinformation, it has become the mantra of "no poison, no husband".

I would rather believe that the whole evolution of this sentence was unintentional, otherwise it would be too wicked. Isn't this deliberately discrediting our men? However, this unintentional rumor has also brought us some influences, such as no big or small. We all know that there is a saying in psychology that preconceptions are subtle. No poison, no husband. Every day when we come into contact with this tampered man image, our values and outlook on life will inevitably be adversely affected. Every day when we see a traitor on TV urging the protagonist to do bad things, we will use this sentence: "Do it! No poison, no husband! " Then the protagonist thought it was right, so he put his fingers together, raised his palm, and slashed hard: "No poison, no husband, fuck!" "Can you say that as a man, watching this thing for a long time will not affect your thinking at all? As for the influence of this language, let me give another example. Like contradicting me next door. At this time, my friend Zhang San came: he advised me with the original good words: "As the old saying goes, less quantity is not a gentleman, and more quantity is not a husband. If you are a man, leave him alone. "When Zhang San said this, I, a gentleman, of course, could no longer care about such a trivial matter for the sake of saving face, but in another case, Zhang San came up to me and said," What's the old saying? Non-toxic No, honey! Confucian scholar, you are a man, you can't be a coward! Give you a knife and kill him! "You see, when I heard him say that, I really had no choice but to rush out and cut with a knife to prove that I am a man, right?

Ruthlessness is the mark of a truly great man.

A small amount is not a gentleman, but a extravagant husband.

4, it is difficult to raise a woman.

Original sentence: it is difficult to raise a woman, but if she is near, she will have no grandchildren, and if she is far away, she will have grievances. ———————— "The Analects of Confucius Yang Huo"

Today, with the rise of feminism, Kong's words immediately became an excellent target for feminist elite critics to attack. Look, this is the original origin of your China men's discrimination against our women, Confucius, an old bastard! We women have been oppressed for thousands of years and finally turned over to be masters. We should hold up half the sky and rob them of half the sky! At that time, the crowd was furious, fierce and lively. But listen, sisters, aunts, aunts. If you put the blame on the old man Kong, you have wronged him greatly.

First, according to Lao Kong's situation, I asked a question: "Why did Mr. Kong say at that time that' only women are difficult to support'? No one talks for no reason, except the madman, of course. Our old Mr. Kong should not be crazy, right? Moreover, this old gentleman Kong was deeply influenced by The Book of Songs. He said: "Three hundred poems, in a word, thinking innocently. "He thinks the Book of Songs is a great work. Let's take a look at this masterpiece that Confucius highly admired. A large part of them praised women's lively beauty, generosity and kindness, and the romantic love atmosphere of equality between men and women at that time. The same is true in the Spring and Autumn Period. Therefore, Confucius' discrimination against women is not only inconsistent with Confucius' thoughts, but also inconsistent with the overall environment of civil society at that time. So this statement is really open to question.

So we have to see, under what circumstances did Confucius say that "only women are difficult to raise"? Who is this for? He is the head of the department. He can't scold a lesbian who can't play eighteen strokes when he is suddenly upset. Confucius' previous trip to the country was mentioned in Historical Records Confucius Family. Confucius "lived in the moon, Gong Ling and his wife rode in the same car, and Guan Yongqu participated in it, which made Confucius ride two times and show off the city." Confucius said,' I don't see good virtue as lewd.' So ugly, to defend. "Let me roughly translate this passage. At the invitation of Wei Wang, Mr. Kong, a model of contemporary national education, came to Wei to visit and study. However, during this period, Mr. Kong suddenly found himself cheated. People just show off his identity and raise themselves. They didn't really support him to educate wei ren, especially his wife. In order to raise her expectations, she publicly showed off and belittled Confucius. Mr. Kong is so depressed, you. Which is more important to you, your wife or me? After eating dry vinegar, no one paid attention to him. Confucius was angry and said, "I have never seen such a good virtue as lewdness!" " Throw it here. I didn't leave you here, but I have my own place! Go, go, go. "I packed my bags and left the country. My mood calmed down after I left. I remembered the bad thing that my husband's wife was arrogant and chaotic, and said with emotion, "Only women are hard to raise! If you are near, you are not a grandson. If you are far away, you will complain. "

You see, knowing these historical backgrounds and life experiences, Confucius' words are easy to understand. We know that the people he scolds are the kind of women and villains who are "raised". It's easy for a woman to say, but who can raise a villain? Monarch! Look at Confucius' trip to defend the country again, and everything will be understood. What he said is not that he is crazy and suddenly scolds all women, including his own mother, but that he has a specific object, that is, Wei Linggong's wife Nanzi, who is a court feminist who "is not a grandson if she is near, but resents if she is far away". How do you explain the last sentence? In other words, as a monarch, if you get too close to those incompetent harem women and sycophants, they will get carried away, forget their identity and start using your power to run amok. If you alienate them, they will complain again. Anyway, it's very troublesome. This is understandable. Confucius, who has never seen the struggle of women in the court before, said this, and his worry is not unreasonable. Before Confucius, da ji had already lost his country and fought a vassal war. Are these examples still few? After Confucius, eunuchs and villains were in power, and the chaos of the queen's consorts was repeatedly staged, and the list is endless. Therefore, our female compatriots, you should know that Confucius did not lose his mind at that time and indiscriminately cursed all women in the world. Don't wronged his old man ~ ~

The last question, who misrepresented this sentence and oppressed our lovely female compatriots for thousands of years? As the saying goes, grievances have a head, and debts have a master. If the moon shadow wants to help Kong rehabilitate, it will naturally help you find the real culprit and let you vent the resentment accumulated for thousands of years (how to say it is like a ghost film-_-! ), well, get down to business. Dong Zhongshu, a so-called "great scholar" in the Western Han Dynasty, strongly advocated that "husbands should be wives". It was this guy who took Confucius' words out of context and put a thousand years' shackles on China women's heads. Look at the "three cardinal guides" put forward by this guy in the book "Basic Righteousness": "The righteousness of husband and wife, the righteousness of father and son, is related to Yin and Yang. The monarch is yang and the minister is yin; The father is yang and the son is yin; The husband is yang and the wife is yin. The three cardinal principles of Wang Dao can be sought from heaven. " This thing of his is a flattering work to please previous rulers. "The monarch is the minister's program" was accepted by emperors of past dynasties, and gradually formed a set of rules of feudal rule, while "the husband is the wife's program" was respected by men of past dynasties. What does this "outline" mean? If you are a minister, then you want me to die, I have to die! Do you know the power of this "outline"? Think about it, every woman with a bad career is a lovely and gentle and graceful lady before she gets married. Originally, she was equal. When she got married, she had to live according to her husband's "outline" These three cardinal guides and the five permanent members have bound China for many years and harmed many generations!

Only women and little people are hard to raise.

My life is limited, but so is my knowledge.

My life is limited, but so is my knowledge. With the limit, I'm almost finished writing —————————— "Zhuangzi, the Master of Health".

Zhuangzi said this sentence, gossip, Zhuangzi this person, it is like the moon is very like a character, his thoughts and temperament, are very, very special to my appetite, this is what people don't want to hear? Well, I want to tell you something about my good comrade ... okay, okay, stop throwing eggs. Can't I get down to business? Ok, let's take a look first. "My life is limited, but my knowledge is also limited." Where do we see this sentence the most? One is the library, and the other is the back wall of primary schools all over the country. According to people's general understanding now, this sentence is really the only epigram for learning inspirational lessons. Life is limited and knowledge is limited. What a lofty goal! This is more imposing than Kong Old Master Q's "learning while learning". Throughout the ages, I don't know how many students have been inspired by this sentence to steal the news and dance. How can you live up to his old man's house without studying hard?

But when the truth comes out, it often makes people laugh and cry. Zhuangzi's words actually said, "My life is limited and my knowledge is limited. With the limit, it is almost the same. " My life in Zhuangzi is limited, but the knowledge I face is infinite. If I want to pursue an endless destination with my limited life, do you think I am an SB? This will kill you ~ ~ Zhuangzi is a free and easy person who advocates letting nature take its course, purity and inaction. He thinks that people just have a meal and are full. There is no need to pursue luxury. Just get dressed, don't freeze. There's really no need to compete with anyone. Similarly, the same is true of learning, just learn enough, apply what you have learned, and apply what you have learned. You can use all the knowledge in this world by yourself. Since you can't use it, why do you always have to learn, and you have been learning all your life? You spend all your time studying, how can you have time to use what you have learned? Isn't this just like people who eat to show off and dress to keep up with the joneses, completely putting the cart before the horse? So his old man's house reminded the nerds caught in this strange circle in the book "Master of Health". Studying so hard and blindly is bad for your health and will kill you ~ ~

Of course, if Zhuangzi is misunderstood, it is not as bad as the above example. Reading is necessary, so is mastering certain knowledge, but remember to grasp it well and moderately. Even if you spend half your life arming yourself, you find that you don't need much knowledge at all. Isn't that a waste? Zhuangzi never thought that man could be greater than nature, which was the only theme in all his writings. In fact, even if we use the current world outlook to measure a Zhuangzi, we can still find that many of his theories are in line with dialectical materialism. Unfortunately, it is such a thinker who advocates nature. He advised scholars not to do things step by step, and was taken as a famous saying by some people who shouted "Man can conquer nature" to encourage young people to study hard. The imperial examination has been changed to the college entrance examination, and the eight-part examination has been changed to exam-oriented education. Therefore, college students are getting more and more year by year, but their quality is getting lower year by year. Is it yellow at last? You see, there is no difference between a college diploma and waste paper now. These people still haven't woken up, but they continue to study, finish their master's degree, master's degree, doctor's degree and postdoctoral degree ... They read it, and then they read it. Well, it seems that I am old and don't need to pinch a lot of knowledge. Isn't this my own problem? Finally, there is a personal complaint. When I went to the library recently, I always saw a group of old men and women waiting there every day. I went in when I saw any free classes, and I didn't care what other teachers were teaching. Dear grandparents, listen to me, younger generations. Aren't you fooling around? Follow the fashion, huh? Show your personality? Do you want us to praise you? Or do you really have to live and learn? What's the point of thinking for yourself? Can you make room for some people who really need it? M's Introduction to Quantum Mechanics has a princesa occupying a position in it. I'm really speechless ...

My life is limited, but so is my knowledge.

My life is limited, but so is my knowledge. With the limit, I'm dying.

6. Care for each other

Original sentence: It's better to feel sorry for each other than to forget each other in the Jianghu-Master Zhuangzi.

Say something light.

Following in the footsteps of this great old man, let's take a look at another well-known saying: "Love each other."

Speaking of this sentence, there are actually many. I think everyone has heard a popular word now, right? Jianghu, where did this "Jianghu" come from? Many people think that it was originally a sentence in Gu Long's novel, "People can't help themselves in Jianghu", but it is not. The earliest source of the word Jianghu is in Zhuangzi's sentence of "caring for each other". In "The Great Master", Zhuangzi told us such a short story: "In the spring drought, fish are on the land. It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes. " He said that one day, when the spring dried up, two small fish were trapped in a small puddle. In order to survive, they spit bubbles from each other's mouths, moisten each other's bodies with their own water, support each other and depend on each other. However, instead of supporting each other on the brink of death, it is better for everyone to find a waterway and return to the vast rivers, lakes and seas happily, to their respective worlds, to forget each other and to be free.

That's how the "Jianghu" we've been talking about came from, didn't you expect it? Make a small advertisement, welcome to watch and comment on my poor book: The novel Book Jianghu is not a particularly good book, but the protagonist is only a little better than Zorro. It may be published soon, so it's ok to search first ~ ~

Well, well, it is a beautiful scene to look back and regret each other, although it is not the ideal state of love. Even if the old lady in the neighborhood Committee has no education, this sentence will definitely be said. In the age when our parents got married through organization, this sentence supported many couples with different personalities, but they didn't have much emotional foundation. What a good example, I just didn't think about it at that time, I just didn't know it at that time. Since we want to support each other, why not just let it go?

How many people know the full meaning of this sentence?

I have a college classmate, a girl from Shaanxi. She found a boyfriend in Shaanxi when she was at school. She gave him everything, including her body of course. But that lazy boyfriend is very bad to her. He often beats her and scolds her for bossing her around like a servant, but she can't live without her. To our surprise, she has endured it silently for four years. We can't help asking her, you live so hard and so uncomfortable. She replied like this: "Marry a chicken with a chicken, and marry a dog with a dog. Although they are not very happy together, isn't this about caring for each other? "

I am speechless. Can this be regarded as mutual concern? Why are there bigger rivers and lakes and a wider world outside? Why do you want to tie the two sides together and go on unhappy when you know that you have a better future? We are all in a society where traditional thinking occupies a very strong position. I don't know how many loves have fallen victim to this traditional thinking. Actually, think about it. If you are unhappy, how can others praise you? If you can find your real world, what about other people's accusations? Alas, it's a bit ridiculous. My parents also taught me to advise me not to divide it. Let's stop here. I can't avoid it.

Just a sigh. We never thought that apart from a word, we could forget each other in the Jianghu.

When both sides are in a humble situation, help each other

7. The heavens and the earth are ruthless, and everything is straw dogs.

Original sentence: Heaven and earth are heartless, taking all things as grass dogs, saints are heartless, and people are grass dogs-Tao Te Ching

If you want to say this, most angry youths will tell you that this sentence means: "Heaven and earth are cruel and heartless, and they treat everything as humble pigs and dogs, just like the so-called saints who are above them." They also regard our people as something inferior to pigs and dogs! " A standard declaration of anarchy, dissatisfied with social standards. This sentence can be seen everywhere in all kinds of cynical articles and in the current third-rate online YY novels. The protagonist is usually weak and helpless, suffering from oppression and injustice, so one day he suddenly wakes up and shouts, "Heaven and earth are ruthless, and everything is a grass dog!" " Suddenly, enlightenment soared, or he became a Buddha, or he became a hegemon from a beggar that everyone could bully, and so on.

The thinking of these children can basically be attributed to the outbreak of oppression that has been suppressed for too long, as if even God owes them 180,000. But? On the other hand, these anarchists don't have the courage to shout out more awesome words, such as "princes will have seeds", and they dare not pull out a banner and shout "Heaven is dead!" Finally, I had to shout out this sentence, "Heaven and earth are heartless, and everything is a grass dog" to express a grievance. To tell you the truth, I actually feel sorry for these people. Anarchism is nothing. A person who has never experienced anarchy in his student days can basically be considered as having no youth. I have also experienced that time when I felt that no one in the world could get along with me. The difference is that now I know that it is useless to complain about others. Society is unfair, and society is so unfair. If you think society is unfair, you must try to change it.

But even though I understand their youth, I still want to say to these younger generations that you just used this sentence wrong.

Heaven and earth are ruthless, and everything is regarded as a grass dog. This is not what you literally understand. It is said that heaven and earth are cruel and everything in the world is regarded as pigs and dogs. Sages are heartless, and people regard them as pigs and dogs. It's not what you think, those so-called high-ranking rulers treat the people lowly. In fact, the real meaning of this sentence is that heaven and earth are indifferent and treat equally, and saints are indifferent and treat equally. The original intention of this sentence you admire is not the oppression and discrimination you need at all. On the contrary, it is a fair truth. All of us, all beings, are equal in the eyes of heaven and earth. Why are you eating dry bread while others are eating seafood dinner? Son, before you yell unfair, why don't you think about whether you have sweated like him? If you can't figure it out, well, don't think about it. Why not try to slightly reverse this "injustice" through your own efforts? Just shouting injustice, shouting injustice, shouting waiting for the pie to fall from the sky to compensate for your grievances, your regrets, your lost youth, is it useful?

Heaven and earth are ruthless, and everything is a dog.
