The Analects. Advanced Chapter 11: Unknown Life, Knowing Death?

Zi Yue: "Advanced to Li Le, the wild man also; later to Li Le, gentleman also." If you use it, I will be advanced. ”

Confucius said: "Those who first learned lile and then became officials were the commoners who did not have a knighthood; those who became officials first and then learned lile were the children of Qing Dafu." If I had to choose talents, then I would prefer to choose the people who learned liturgy first. ”

Zi Yue: "From me to Chen and Cai, neither of them is as good as Menye." ”

Confucius said, "The disciples who were in trouble with me between Chen Guo and Cai Guo are no longer with me. ”

Virtue: Yan Yuan, Min Ziqian, Ran Boniu, Zhonggong. Words: Kill me, Zigong. Political affairs: Ran You, Ji Lu. Literature: Ziyou, Zixia.

Those who have good virtues are: Yan Yuan, Min Ziqian, Ran Boniu, and Zhonggong; those who can speak the Tao are: Zai I and Zi Gong; those who are proficient in political affairs are: Ran You, Ji Lu; those who are familiar with classical literature are: Zi You and Zi Xia.

Zi Yue: "Hui is not the one who helps me, yu wu says everything." ”

Confucius said, "Yan Hui is not a person who has helped me, and there is nothing he does not dislike in what he said to me." ”

Zi Yue: "Filial piety Min Zi Qian! People do not disagree with the words of their parents, Kundi. ”

Confucius said, "Min Ziqian is really filial piety!" People have no objection to his parents and brothers praising him. ”

Nan Rong Sanfu Bai Gui, Confucius and his brother's son and wife.

Nan Rong read a few "Bai Gui" poems many times, and Confucius married his brother's daughter to him.

Ji Kangzi asked, "Who is a disciple to study?" Confucius said to him: "Those who have a face are eager to learn, but unfortunately they die short-lived, and now they are also dead." ”

Ji Kangzi asked Confucius, "Who among your disciples is the best to learn?" Confucius replied, "There was a student named Yan Hui who was very good at learning and unfortunately died early. Now there is nothing like him again. ”

Yan Yuan died, and Yan Lu asked the car of the son to think that it was a disaster. Zi Yue: "Only those who are not talented, but also their sons also speak." The carp is also dead, and there is a coffin but there is no rafter, and I do not think it is in vain. After I am from the Doctor, I cannot do it in vain. ”

Yan Yuan died, and his father Yan Lu begged Confucius to sell the car to Yan Yuan as a rafter. Confucius said, "Whether they are talented or not, they are all sons of their own." Kong Carp died, and there was only a coffin, not a rafter. I can't sell my car and walk to buy him a rafter. Because I used to be a doctor, I can't travel on foot. ”

Yan Yuan died. Zi Yue: "Oh! Heaven forbid! Heaven forbid! ”

Yan Yuan died, and Confucius said, "Alas! Heaven forbid I am going to die!" Heaven forbid I am going to die!" ”

When Yan Yuan died, the son wept and mourned, and the follower said, "Zi Mourning! "Do you have any condolences?" Who is not the lady to mourn? ”

Yan Yuan died, and Confucius wept with great sorrow. Those who followed Confucius said, "Your grief is excessive! Confucius said, "Is it too sad to be excessive?" I don't grieve too much for this person, and for whom? ”

Yan Yuan died, and the doorman wanted to bury him thickly, and the son said, "No." The doorman buried him thickly, and the son said: "Hui also regards the father of Judah, and does not regard the son of Judah." Not me, but also the second and third sons of the husband! ”

Yan Yuan died, and Confucius's students wanted to bury him. Confucius said, "No," the students still buried him thickly. Confucius said, "Yan Hui treated me like a father, but I could not treat him like a son." That's not what I mean, it's the students who want to do it. ”

Ji Lu asked about the ghost god, and Zi Yue said, "If you can't do anything to people, can you do things to ghosts?" "Dare to ask death." "Unknown life, unknown death?" ”

Ji Lu asked how to serve the ghost god. Confucius said, "If a man cannot serve, how can he serve the ghosts and gods?" Ji Lu said, "Dare to ask what is going on with death?" "Confucius said, 'If you don't know much about life, where can you know death?'

Min Zi serves the side, 訚訚如也; Zi Lu, Xing Ru Ye; Ran You, Zi Gong, Kan Kan Ru Ye. Zi Le. "If it is also true, it must not be dead."

Min Ziqian stood beside Confucius, looking upright and respectful; Zilu was a very strong appearance; Ran You, Zigong looked gentle and happy. Confucius was pleased. But he said: "Like Nakayu, I'm afraid I won't get a good ending." ”

Lu Ren was the Changfu, and Min Ziqian said, "What is still the same?" Why change it? Zi Yue: "The lady does not speak, but her words will be in the middle." ”

The ruling ministers of the State of Lu wanted to turn over the Long Mansion. Min Ziqian said, "Is it not good to be the same as before?" Why do you have to renovate? Confucius said: "Min Ziqian is a person who usually does not speak much, but as soon as he opens his mouth, he must talk about the key points." ”

Zi Yue: "From the Gate of the Hill?" The doorman disrespected Zi Lu, and Zi Yue said: "Yu Ya ascended to the hall, and did not enter the room." ”

Confucius said, "Zhongyu, why am you playing here?" Confucius's other students therefore disrespected Zilu. Confucius said, "Zhongyou's learning already has a scale, but it is not profound enough." ”

Zigong asked, "Who is the master and the merchant?" Zi Yue: "The master has also passed, and the shang has not reached." "But then the master heals?" Zi Yue: "It's too late." ”

Zigong asked Confucius, "Who is better, Zi Zhang and Zi Xia?" Confucius replied, "Some of the Masters of The Emperor Sun have surpassed, and some of the Merchants have not been able to catch up." ZiGong said, "So is Zi Zhang better?" Confucius said, "Excess and inadequacy are the same." ”

The Ji clan was rich in the Zhou Gong, and Qiu also benefited from it. Zi Yue: "Not my disciples, the boy beats the drum and attacks it." ”

Ji Shi was richer than zhou Tianzi's qingshi, and Ran Qiu also helped him loot to increase his wealth. Confucius said, "He is no longer my student, so you can attack him with great fanfare!" ”

Chai ye yu, sam ye lu, shi also pei, yu ya yi.

Gao Chai was stupid, Zeng was dull, Sun Shi was extreme, and Zhongyou was reckless.

Zi Yue: "Back to its own shu, repeatedly empty." The gift is not destined to be given, and the goods are multiplied, and the billions are repeatedly hit. ”

Confucius said, "Yan Hui, his moral cultivation is almost over, but he is often very poor." Zigong did not do official and went to business, guessing the market, and guessing every time. ”

Zi Zhang asked the way of the good man, and zi said, "Do not practice, nor enter the room." ”

Zi Zhang asked how to become a good person. Confucius said, "If you do not follow the footsteps of your predecessors, your learning and cultivation will not reach home."

Zi Yue: "On the du du and, the gentleman is concerned, and the color is solemn?" ”

Confucius said, "Always talk about and praise those who are honest with their words." Is this kind of talkative person a true gentleman? Or is it just someone who pretends to be dignified? ”

ZiLu asked, "What did Wen Si do?" The Son said, "If there is a father and brother, how can he hear and do it?" Ran You asked, "What did You do?" Zi Yue: "Wen Si did it." Gong Xihua said: "Yu also asked Wen Si to do everything, and the son said 'there is a father and brother'; ask also ask Wen Si to do everything, and the son said 'Wen Si xingzhi' Chi Ye was confused and dared to ask." The Son said, "If you ask for it, you will retreat, so you will enter it; and if you are also a man, you will retreat." ”

Zilu asked, "Do you want to do what you should do immediately when you hear it?" Confucius said, "If there is a father and brother, how can we do it immediately when we hear it?" Ran You asked, "Do you act when you hear it?" Confucius said, "When you hear it, take action." Gong Xihua said: "Zhongyu asked, 'Do you act when you hear it?'" You replied, 'There is a father and brother alive,' and Ran begged, 'Will you act when you hear it?' You answer, 'Act when you hear it.' I was confused and dared to ask again. Confucius said, "Ran qiu does things on a daily basis and withdraws, so I motivate him; Zhongyu is brave enough to win people, so I want to suppress him." ”

Zi was afraid of Kuang, After Yan Yuan. Zi Yue: "I think my daughter is dead!" "The Son is here, how dare he die!" ”

Confucius was imprisoned in Kuangdi, and Yan Yuan arrived later. Confucius said, "I thought you were dead." Yan Yuan said, "You are still alive, how dare I die first?" ”

Ji Ziran asked, "Zhongyu and Ran Qiu can be described as ministers and ministers." The Son said, "I have asked the Son as a question of difference, and I have asked the question of asking." The so-called ministers, who are in charge of the tao, cannot stop. Imago and Qiuye can be described as subjects. "But then the one who follows it is with?" The Son said, "The Father and the King, nor do they obey." ”

Ji Ziran asked, "Can Zhongyu and Ranqiu be called ministers?" Confucius said, "I thought you were asking someone else, but it turned out that you were asking Zhongyu and Ran qiu." The ministers we speak of should be able to serve the monarch in a benevolent manner, and if that doesn't work, they'd rather not do it. Now these two people, Yu and Qiu, can only be regarded as ministers who are ready to fill the numbers. Ji Ziran asked again, "So, are they willing to obey?" Confucius said, "If you kill your father and kill the monarch, they will not listen." ”

Zi Lu made zi lamb fei zai, and zi said: "Son of the thief's wife." Zi Lu said: "There are people and people, there are social people, why should we read and then learn." Zi Yue: "It is the evil husband who is the one who is evil." ”

ZiLu told Zi Lu to be the chief of Fei Di. Confucius said, "It is the practice of harming the children." ZiLu said, "There are people, there is land and grain, why should we study to study?" The Son said, "So I hate those who can speak the Word." ”

Zi Lu, Zeng Hao, Ran You, and Gong Xihua sat down, and Zi Yue said, "I will grow up in one day, and I will not take it." Ju Ze said 'I don't know also' such as or Zhi'er, then why bother? Zi Lu Leder said: "The country of a thousand multiplications, between the great powers, plus the division and brigade, so that it is hungry, by the same as three years, can make you brave, and know the side." "Master." Please, what about? "Fang sixty or seventy, such as fifty or sixty, ask for it, than three years, can make enough people." As its liturgical music, to the gentleman. "Red! What's the point? "If you can't know it, you're willing to learn." The affairs of the Jongmyo Temple, such as the same meeting, Duan Zhangfu, may be a small phase. "Point, how about er?" Drumshey, Sonor, sher, and so on, to the author: "Different from the writing of the three sons." Zi Yue: "What hurts?" Each of them has its own aspirations. "Twilight spring, spring clothes are complete, crowns are five or six, children are six or seven, bathing, wind is dancing, and singing." The Master sighed, "I and Dianye!" "The three sons are out, and the queen has been born." Zeng Hao said, "What is the word of the husband's third son?" Zi Yue: "Also each of them has said that his ambitions have also been completed." "Master Ho Yuya?" "To serve the country with courtesy, but not to let his words be allowed." "Only if you want it, then the non-state is also with it?" "Anmi Fang Sixty or Seventy, such as Fifty or Sixty instead of Bangya?" "Only Chi is not a state with?" "If the Jongmyo temple is together, why not the princes?" Red is also small, which can be bigger? ”

Zi Lu, Zeng Chen, Ran You, and Gong Xihua sat with Confucius. Confucius said, "Don't be afraid to speak because I'm a little older than you." [You] usually say, 'No one knows me!' If anyone knew you, what were you going to do? Zilu replied without hesitation: "A country with a thousand military vehicles, sandwiched between great powers, with the invasion of foreign troops, and then encountered famine; if I were to govern this country, waiting for three years, I would be able to make everyone brave and good at war, and also know the truth of being a man." Confucius listened and smiled slightly. Ran You, how are you? Ran Qiu replied, "If I were to govern a country that stretched sixty or seventy miles, or fifty or sixty miles, and wait for three years, I would be able to make the people rich." As for the cultivation of Ming Lile, then there is only waiting for the wise men and gentlemen. "Gong Xihua, how are you?" Gong Xihua replied, "I don't dare to say what I can do, I am willing to learn." When the temple sacrifice work, or when the princes will make an alliance and meet the Son of Heaven, I am willing to wear a good dress and hat to be a small celebrant. "Zeng Hao, how are you?" Zeng's voice gradually thinned out, and then with a sonorous sound, he put down Ande stood up straight and replied, "My talents are different from the three of them." Confucius said, "Then what does it matter?" It's just about talking about their own ambitions. Zeng Hao said: "In the late spring, the clothes of spring have been put on. Swim in yishui with a few adults and a few children, blow the wind on the dance stage, and sing songs all the way back. Confucius sighed and said, "I agree with Zeng Hao's idea!" Zi Lu, Ran You, and Gong Xihua all went out, and Zeng Hao left last. Zeng Hao asked Confucius, "What about the words of the three of them?" Confucius said, "It's just talking about their own ambitions!" Zeng Hao said, "Why are you laughing at Zhongyu?" Confucius said, "To govern the country, you must use courtesy, but his (Zilu's) words are not humble, so I laugh at him." Zeng Hao asked again, "Isn't what Ran you is talking about a major state affair?" Confucius said, "How can we see that a place within a radius of sixty or seventy or fifty or sixty miles is not a country?" Zeng Hao asked again, "Isn't what Gong Xihua is talking about?" Confucius said, "What is the great affair of the princes who sacrifice at the temple, the princes who will ally and meet the Son of Heaven?" Gong Xihua can only make small phases for the princes, so who can make a big appearance for the princes? ”
