Reading Expansion:

Confucius is the master of Confucianism, and he transformed the original Confucianism to make it the most important spirit of Chinese culture, which has a strong guiding effect on the worldview, outlook on life, and values of our nation. The deeds of Confucius have shone for thousands of years and have been recorded in history forever. In the Temple of Confucius, one can see everywhere couplets praising him, saying that he is as famous as Yao, Shun and Yu. Mencius praised him as "out of his class and out of his essence, unprecedented since the birth of man". Confucius' 73 years of life experience is unparalleled. He summarized his life experience as follows: "I was ten years old, but I aspired to study, thirty years old, forty years old, fifty years old, fifty years old, fifty years old, fifty years old, sixty years old, sixty years old, seventy years old, seventy years old, seventy years old, seventy years old, seventy years old, seventy years old, and not exceeding the rules of my heart. Confucius set his mind on learning at fifteen, and studied for fifteen years before reaching thirty and standing. This standing is not about becoming an adult and marrying a wife and having children, it is about standing in the rite of passage, standing between heaven and earth, and being blameless to the heavens. He detached man from the beasts, jumped out from utilitarianism, and divorced himself from morality to reach the state of standing between heaven and earth. The three attainments of virtue in life are that the wise man is not confused, the benevolent man is not worried, and the courageous man is not afraid! There are a lot of unsatisfactory and unpleasant things in one's life, maybe there are many reasons, but most of the time it is because we can't think for ourselves, our mind is too narrow to incorporate too many things, and wisdom can help us to open the knot in our heart. Fifty and know the destiny of heaven, Confucius understood that the problem that man can not solve is the destiny of heaven. Perhaps the Mandate of Heaven is something we cannot grasp, but only a wise man without confusion can attain it. Yan Hui was a great sage, but who could have expected that he would live to be 32 years old? This is the Mandate of Heaven! Sixty years old and obedient to his ears, Confucius returned to the common people at the age of 60, having learned that all the sorrows and joys of life are normal, and that he should not be overly saddened by them. At the age of 70, Confucius reached the highest state of life - the harmony of man and heaven. And what were the two greatest things that Confucius did? The first was to set up the human pole, and he reached the highest state of life. He told us what kind of spiritual realm one should pursue, and he also set an example of character for us. The second great event was the revision of the textbooks. "The Six Classics were revised by Confucius for us. Later generations praised him for "revising the poetry and books, correcting the rituals and music, and writing the Spring and Autumn Annals of the Book of Changes". As the "Six Classics", which must be read by readers throughout the ages, was the first time that Confucius integrated the cultural ideas of his predecessors, which was the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the entire Chinese nation, rather than the ideas of an individual. "The Six Classics set out China's cosmology, outlook on life and values. What is the cosmology? The Huainanzi said, "The four directions above and below are called Yu, and the past and present are called Zeus," which means space and time. How do Chinese people view time and space? In the "Six Classics" have done a detailed explanation. Chinese people worship what, criticize what, love what, resent what, affirm what, deny what, these are the unique values of the Chinese people.

Another contribution of Confucius is the promotion of ren. In the Analects of Confucius, there are three phrases: "To learn from others is not like saying," "To have friends come from afar is not like being happy," and "To know nothing and not to be huffy is not like being a gentleman! These three sentences tell the whole outline of the Analects, which is the essence of the Analects! The Analects of Confucius is known as "The Teaching of a Gentleman". Now I'd like to explain what it means to have friends come from afar. Although all of you here are classmates, some of you have different aspirations, for example, some of you want to become philosophers, others want to become writers, politicians, economists. They can only be called "friends", can not be called "friends", only those who are both the same teacher, and have the same aspirations can be called friends! Friends come from afar! In Confucius' time, his disciples came from all over to visit him, making him feel "happy!" That's real happiness! Think about it, ancient transportation is so undeveloped, unlike nowadays, there are so many means of transportation, so fast. And under those conditions, Confucius' students came to visit his teacher in droves, showing that the teacher's... . personality was glorious, and how high the learning was! And Confucius was then honored by the people for his high moral character and personality, so he was very happy, that was the joy of his heart! The words "說" and "乐" have different meanings, or else there would be two pronunciations! The word "said" is the joy of one's heart, the joy that is not expressed. "Joy" is the joy that comes out!

"Learning and learning, is not also said," that is, the pursuit of the road of life, to explore the true meaning of life, that is the real joy! Ancient people because of the joy of reading, feel which Avenue, in order to feel the real joy, so it is called "not also say so". And we usually read whether you also feel very happy ah. If not, it's because you're not looking for a life path, and you're not integrating the life path into your study life. The meaning of "having friends from afar is not a joy" is that you don't care about fame and fortune when you face your friends, treat everyone equally, treat everyone with sincerity, and keep a peaceful mind in different realms of life! "People do not know and not huff, is not also a gentleman," when they are full of experience but not recognized by others at the same time, but not annoyed, in different life situations can maintain a calm state of mind, the face of the life of the downturn, can be open to face, which is a gentleman to reach the realm!

Next, I will talk about the Tao practiced by Confucianism, which is different from the Tao practiced by Buddhism and Taoism. Buddhism and Taoism are all about going out of the house to practice, while Confucianism is about going home to practice, and practicing the way of husband and wife. Confucianism believes that the way of the gentleman begins with the husband and wife, and that once the way of the husband and wife is fixed, it can then be extended to the universe. The core of the Meanwhile is the way of husband and wife. Only by fixing the way of husband and wife can we respect each other and grow old together.
