Datang male nanny

Chapter 212
Ni Tu knew it, and it wasn't true if he said it, and it wouldn't be true if he didn't say it.

Talking about it will cause endless arguments and waste precious time.

Instead of this, it is better to explain it in a different way.

After a while, Ni Tu, who had gradually recovered, took a breath and said to the old man, "Sir, do you have something urgent to do this afternoon?"

The old man smiled blankly and replied: "This old man is sixty-two years old, and most of his body is buried in the soil. He has taught for half his life, and has countless disciples, but there is no one who is a good student. He was extremely disappointed. He put down his ruler and traveled around the world. Beautiful scenery all over the world. When I thought about it a few days ago, I lived without desires and needs, and I always felt that I was a waste. Listening to a few words from my little friend today, I was suddenly enlightened and emotional. I suddenly felt that this kind of life is what I want to pursue. I can get it Good thoughts and good faith, even if you wait here for a while, it's okay."

"Old man, at noon, the sun is shining brightly, just in time for a lunch break. There is a rattan chair outside, which can be half-lying and half-rocking. The old master can go to rest for a while, and the students have to prepare the inside of the shop."

"Oh? Lunch break? It's me too! I don't dare to take a lunch break."

The old man seemed to be very afraid of something.

Ni Tu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that there was a Zeng Guofan in later generations who would not dare to take a lunch break.

Looking at his biography, we can know that the reason comes from "The Analects of Confucius·Gongye Changwu".The article said: Zaiyu sleeps in the daytime, and the master said: "The rotten wood cannot be carved, and the wall of dung cannot be smashed! Yu Yu and He Zhu?" The son said: "I started with people, listen to their words and believe their deeds; today As for others, I listen to their words and watch their actions. I am in giving and changing.”

Why was Confucius furious?
Zhu Xi made an explanation for this: "Sleep in the daytime means sleeping in the middle of the day. ... It is said that his ambition is lazy, and he has nothing to teach. Yu, words. Punish, responsibility. Responsibility for insufficient words is why he is deeply responsible. ... Zaiyu was able to speak but failed to catch up with his actions, so Confucius said to himself about Yu's matter and corrected this mistake, and he also used the warning.

For this reason, the Confucian explanation basically tends to one truth: since the pre-Qin period, people have said: "Work at sunrise, and rest at sunset. Drill wells to drink, plow fields to eat. How can the imperial power belong to me!"

Confucius: The dead are like husbands, never giving up day and night.Both require people to cherish their time and to regard sleeping during the day as a waste of time and laziness.Therefore, it is not too much to reprimand Zaiyu for being very angry with Confucius.

However, it is really unreasonable to be furious or even furious just because of such a trivial matter as "siesta".

According to the investigation of later generations, being able to irritate a gentle and elegant Confucius who was usually ridiculed and questioned by his students should have offended him on a matter of principle.

As a teacher of all ages, Confucius did not treat him with majesty and rigidity when teaching and interacting with students.

Anyone who has read the Analects of Confucius and Shi Ji carefully knows that Confucius is really a kind person.No matter between the lines in the Analects of Confucius or the character sketches in Shiji, they all present a friendly and humorous image vividly.

For example, because of the beautiful woman Nanzi, the student Zilu blamed him, and he swore to the sky: "If you give what you don't, the sky hates it! The sky hates it!"

One, this is the student questioning the teacher.Think about it, throughout the ages, how many students under the shadow of traditional scholar-bureaucrat philosophy dare to question their teachers?This kind of thing is common in the West. Freud trained several famous students, and finally became the most staunch anti-Freudian theory.But in Eastern culture, these are missing.

Zilu dared to ask such a question, which shows that Confucius was a very democratic and respectful teacher.The more he is like this, the more you respect and admire him.Those teachers who like to use violence and pressure will only make students spurn them after a few years.

Second, what is even more peculiar is that when the students questioned, the teacher's face turned red, unable to prove his innocence, he could only swear to God.It can be seen that Teacher Confucius attaches great importance to students' doubts and is very helpless. At the same time, he is also eager to maintain his own image.

There is one more thing to prove.

Confucius was also a very self-deprecating person.This is somewhat different from the image of the eternal teacher in front of us.

When Confucius went to the state of Zheng, he was separated from his disciples and stood alone at the east gate of the city.Once the students were easy to find, it was only a matter of posting missing person notices.The student Zigong found a clue. Someone told him that there is a man in the East Gate, what does he look like?Liile is like a dog that lost its home, which means that it looks tired, like a dog that has lost its home.

Later, when the master and apprentice got together, Zi Gong, who was so stubborn, truthfully told Confucius what the man said about the "dog who lost his family". Can he tell the person concerned?It's too embarrassing.

After hearing this, Confucius smiled awkwardly but politely, and said, "It doesn't matter how the man described my appearance. It's more appropriate to say that I'm like a bereaved dog!"

How many people can reach this volume?The stomach of a prime minister can support a boat, and Confucius' stomach can support several prime ministers.

The mystery of the ages is: Why did Zi Gong tell Confucius the truth about the "missing dog"?Is it a disgusting teacher in person?In fact, this is not the case. The main reason is that the teacher-student relationship is harmonious. On the one hand, Zi Gong probably wants to test the teacher, see how the wise teacher answers such tricky questions, and take the opportunity to learn something; If the journey is difficult, there is no next meal after eating, no mobile phone to play and watch, and no more joking with each other to have some fun, what is the difference between life and salted fish?
So Confucius was a lovely person and a lovely teacher, not rigid or dogmatic.But things have changed a little bit since he was put up front, as a target, as a belief, as a statue.Cuteness becomes awe, humor becomes gravitas, reality becomes distance.

The conversation turned to Zeng Guofan, who regards Confucius as his teacher and is strict and self-restraining. He thinks: The old man has said it all, can we not listen?Insist on not taking a nap.It was only later that there was a workaround, taking a nap after dinner, and then getting up and staying up late.

What would Ni Tu say in the face of such an old master who respects the words of the sage so much?

But he still smiled and said: "I have often interviewed saints in dreams since I was a child, and I use dreams as my teacher."

"Oh? There are such strange things? No wonder you know so much!" The old master was shaking in shock.

"The saints include Confucius, Mencius, Laozi, Zhuangzi, Liezi and other wise men and sages. It is a banquet for saints."

"This...you are the eternal prodigy, the chosen one!"

Ni Tu humbly bowed, and continued: "One day, Confucius said: 'If you don't sleep at noon, you will collapse in the afternoon' Mencius said: 'Confucius is right!'"

The old master first frowned and thought about this sentence, and suddenly he realized that Ni Tu was joking with him seriously, and immediately burst out laughing.

Not only him, even Xue Sanniang, Zhen Zhen'er, and the few people who had just entered the shop burst into laughter.

Many people respect the words of Confucius, and taking a nap in the afternoon is considered a taboo, and many people take a nap with guilt.

Unexpectedly, this boy Ni Tu would resolve it with a single sentence.

"Confucius said: 'If you don't sleep at noon, you will collapse in the afternoon' Mencius said: 'Confucius is right!' It's so ridiculous!" The old master muttered, leaning on his crutches, swaying across the threshold, and went to the door, where the melon and vine trellis stood. Rest on the recliner.

Ni Tu looked at the ridicule of the crowd, looked up at the direction of Jiangxi for future generations, and muttered: "In the tomb of Liu He, Haihunhou, the incomparably precious spiritual wealth of China, there are more than [-] bamboo slips and wooden trestles. found this sentence."

The "Analects of Qi" and "Knowledge" that have been lost for thousands of years, the royal secret document "Edict of Expelling the Country" that revealed the world at that time, and "Book of Changes", "Book of Rites", "Book of Filial Piety", "Book of Medicine" and "Liubo Chess Manual" Countless classic masterpieces will make their debut, which is exciting.

During his lifetime, he regretted his whole life, and thousands of years after his death, he was remembered by the world in another way once it was published, and its sensational effect was no less than that of any emperor of the Han Dynasty!If he knows it underground, he doesn't know whether it's joy or sorrow...
