MY FEELINGS ON THE ANALECTS
The
Analects is said that “half the book can
administer a country”. We could see how
ancients respected it. It recorded Confucius’s
words and deeds, containing his thinking on the
way of thinking, attitude towards thinking,
how to be good person and manage a country. This
summer I read it and benefited a lot. The
following I will state my feelings.
The
Analects leads us to learn how to study and
Goodness.” Every day I examine myself on
three
points: in acting on behalf of others, have I
always been loyal to their interests? In
intercourse with my friends, have I always
been true to my word? Have I failed to repeat the
precepts that have been handed down to me?”
this sentence hit me. In today’s life, we do need
to examine ourselves on what happened around,
through which we could have progress and be
better. It shows a modest and peaceful mind,
through thousands of years still applying to life.
“To learn and at due times to repeat what one
has learnt” follows and teaches us the way of
studying efficiently.” In the usages of ritual
it is harmony that is prized.” harmony is thought
the
highest norm in ancient China and a true
gentleman in the book thirteen” The true gentleman
is
conciliatory but not accommodating. Common
people are accommodating but not conciliatory”
The harmony does recognize contradictions and
it’s a unity of multielement.
In this book, I
also find some sentences whose meanings are
different from what we know in
daily life.
The first is omitting the latter sentences.
For example, we are told to” Meet resentment with
inner power” In fact, the master said, meet
resentment with upright dealing and meet inner
power with inner power.” And Lao Tzu also
approves” meet resentment with inner power, how
can you say it proper?”. But in the past, in
the people who believe in Neo-Confucianism eyes,
“Meet resentment with inner power” a good
person has to bear other’s resentment-it is even a
value. It is just a tool helping governors to
consolidate their benefit. Though Confucius
advocates
“goodness”, we also cannot bear
anything even hurt by others. Anyway, we could
find right
explain for common people, it is
better.
In the book five, when we are gonging
to do something risky, others would say” thinks
thrice
before acting, which is said by
Confucius.” But in fact in The Analects, it is
“Chi Wen Tzu used to
think thrice before
acting. The Master hearing of it said , twice is
enough” He may thought three
times is too long
to make a right decision
The second is
improper punctuation. In the book eight,” The
Master said, the common
people can be made to
follow it; they cannot be made to understand it.”
I am against it. Why do
common people cannot
understand it? It is looking down upon them. And
we do not believe it is
said by Confucius who
is Goodness. So there are many people think it is
the wrong of
punctuation in the ancient
Chinese language. Someone puts forward a proper
(in my eyes)
express” If common people have
high qualities, government could create a loose
atmosphere;
otherwise government needs to
restrain them.” This is accord to Confucius’s
Goodness.
In the book eight” The master
seldom spoke of profit or fate or Goodness.” But
in fact,
Goodness is the core of Confucius,
how can he seldom speak of it? An American
professor said
that ”yu” in Chinese could be
translated into “approve” not “or”, then it will
be “The Master
rarely spoke of profit. But he
gave forth his ideas concerning the appointments
of fate，and also
gave forth his ideas
concerning perfect Goodness”, it’s more proper.
The third is wrongly understanding. In the
book nineteen, Tzu-hsia said, the energy that a
man has left over after doing his duty to the
State,,he should devote to service of the State.
But
we would say the”xue er you ze
shi”as this”you may study good enough to be a
office”,which
encouraged people to study
hard,even in today’s proves that the office is
not the only
goal for scholars,our Confucius
was not so stupid.
In book seventeen,The
Master said, women and people of low birth are
very hard to deal
you are friendly with
them,they get out of hand,and if you keep your
distance,they resent
it. This sentence showed
women’s low birth,Confucius became the spokesman
for looking up to
man and down to fact,the
Master said”it is not easy for men to communicate
with
women,for offices with common
people.”Such as”If you do not do for
yourself,nothing could
bear”as if advocating
self,but it really means”if you do not improve
yourself,onthing could
bear.”Anyone could not
make an excuse for your self.
Yan Hui is
thought highly of by Confucius among many
students, but passed away at young
age.
Confucius talked of him with tears and miss, in
this book ,I find some evidences.
Firstly, not
thwart. In conversation with teachers, Yen Hui
was not thwart” In serving his
father and
mother man may gently remonstrate with them. But
if he sees that he has failed to
change their
opinion, he should resume an attitude of deference
and not thwart them; may feel
discouraged, but
not resentful.” Secondly, quick mind.” not thwart”
towards Confucius but
Tzu-kung once said to
Confucius” For Hui has but to hear one part in
ten,in order to understand
the whole ten.
Whereas if I hear one part, I understand no more
two parts.”
Secondly, Hui could be happy to
lead a simple and virtuous life. The master said,
Incomparable indeed was Hui! A handful of rice
to eat, a gourdful of water to drink, living in a
mean street-others would have found it
unendurably depressing, but to Hui’s cheerfulness
it
made no difference at arable indeed was Hu.
In his eyes,he who is aspiring would
spend
little time running for money ,they could endure
the ‘mean street,just rice and
book seven,”He
who seeks only coarse food to eat,water to drink
and a bent arm for pillow,wil
without looking
for it find happiness to thought of accepting
weath and rank by means
that I know to be
wrong is as remote from me as the clouds that
float above”also depicts a simple
life without
any fames and money,also accords with Confucius’s
advocation” happy to lead a
simple and
virtuous life”, “a bent arm for pillow”is their
joy,we had better be away from ”the
wrong
weath and rank”,which has influenced numerous
people in the thousands of
must admit the big
influenceeven now.
Thirdly, not showing off.
This is not accepted by Confucius,but appearing in
Hui’s
ambition.”once when Yen Hui and Tzu-lu
were waiting upon him the Master said,Suppose each
of
you were to tell his -lu said,I should like
to have carriages and horses,clothes and fur
rugs,share them with my friends and feel no
annoyance if they were returned to me the worse
for Hui said,I should like never to boast of
my good qualities nor make a fuss about the
trouble I take on behalf of -lu said,A thing I
should like is to hear the Master said,In
deeling with friends,to be of good faith with
them;in dealing with the young,to cherich
them.”Others are also good to learn,after
reading it,sharing comes into my mind,we had
better
share with our friends.
What’s
more, Hui could endure hardships with
Confucius.”When the Master was trapped in
K’uang,Yen Hui fell Master said,I thought you
were said,While you are alive
how should I
dare to die.”Hui was qualified to be a
relative,not only a student.
Additionally,diligent.”Duke Ai asked which of
the disciples had a love of K’ung
answered
him saying,There was Yen had a great love of
never vented hid wrath
upon the
innocent nor let others suffer for his unately the
span of life allotted to him
by Heaven was
short,and he present there are none or at any
rate I have heard of none
who are fond of
learing.”Confucius expressed his love and high
praise for Hui by “none could”
Yan Hui’s
merits are good enough to be NO.1 among 72
students,his praise also showed
Confucius’
greatness.”Hui said with a deep sigh, the more I
strain my gaze up towards it,the
higher it
deeper I bore down into it,the harder it becomes.I
see it in front;but suddenly
it is by step
the Master skillfully lures one has broadened me
with
culture,restrained me with if I wanted
to stop,I could I fell that Ihave
exhausted
every resource,something seems to rise uo,standing
out sharp and though I
long to pursue it,I
can find no way of greeting to it at all.”
From these aspects, I am so addicted to it. As
the popular books among two thousand years,
it
has been publishing in many versions, the only
unchanged thing is the principles in our daily
life-harmony, Goodness and so on. Reading the
classic books lead us a more colorful future.
